Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Wang Erhai actually didn't understand what a sense of ceremony was; so-called romance, in his cognition, was something illusory and insubstantial.

Previously when confessing to Zhang Xiaoyun, it was nothing more than taking her to see a movie, then having a meal at the Guangzhou Tower's sky restaurant.

He didn't know whether these conformed to Liu Mei Qi's sense of ceremony in her heart.

Because he basically still didn't understand Liu Mei Qi very well.

Most importantly, deep down he actually didn't really want to do these things.

Why not just take her to see a movie, give her a gift during the movie, then shout one sentence, "Liu Mei Qi, will you be my girlfriend?" and be done with it.

This small county town didn't have many entertainment options, and there weren't many cinemas either, just two.

Now the key question came: what gift should he give Liu Mei Qi?

Give gold and silver jewelry?

It seemed this kind should only be given once marriage was certain, right?

Wang Erhai didn't know what gift to give, so he called Wang Dashan to ask him for advice.

Wang Dashan learned that Wang Erhai was going to pursue a girl, and immediately felt genuinely happy for him, then helped him come up with ideas:

"You don't need to be too nervous; it's very simple, as long as the sincerity is there. In my opinion, you just make a gift yourself—that's full of sincerity. If you're too busy, then buying some small gifts is also okay. Gold, silver, jewelry, and such valuable things aren't necessary. Buy some practical things, like lipstick, handbags, cosmetics, and so on—girls will all like these."

Wang Erhai heard this and also thought it made sense.

Wang Dashan then asked:

"Who are you planning to confess to? What's the other person's status?"

Wang Erhai said:

"I'll tell you after the confession succeeds; if it doesn't succeed, telling you is useless."

Actually he just didn't want to say.

He felt that letting Wang Dashan know his girlfriend was a female real estate salesperson, and moreover a sales champion, would make him feel very lacking in face.

The two brothers were both in the real estate industry, so they more or less understood figures like female sales champions.

This caused them to have some occupational discrimination against female sales champions in their subconscious.

"Fine then, I wish you good luck. Even if the confession isn't successful, don't be discouraged—there are plenty of other flowers in the world!"

Wang Dashan cheered Wang Erhai on.

Wang Erhai smiled:

"Got it. If it's not successful, forget it; it's not like I've never dated before."

That day after work, Wang Erhai went to a nearby cosmetics store and bought lipstick, perfume, foundation, and other cosmetics, asking the boss to pack them into a gift box.

He didn't know which brand was better, so he just picked the more expensive ones to buy. Previously when he was with Zhang Xiaoyun, he hadn't paid attention to these things either; on the contrary, Zhang Xiaoyun had asked him for them several times on her own initiative, and he had just given her money directly, letting her buy them herself.

After buying the gifts, Wang Erhai called Liu Mei Qi and invited her to come out to watch a movie together.

At that time there weren't many good movies to watch; only a recently released foreign film called Now You See Me was relatively popular, so Wang Erhai bought two tickets for this movie.

"Okay, then I'll come find you now?"

Liu Mei Qi knew Wang Erhai might be about to confess to her, so she happily agreed.

"You can just drive directly to Dongcheng Cinema."

"Okay, okay."

Wang Erhai arrived at the cinema first.

He parked the car, then waited patiently outside the cinema entrance.

After waiting ten-odd minutes, a BMW drove over; it was Liu Mei Qi's car, which Wang Erhai recognized.

Liu Mei Qi parked the car, then got out of the car.

Wang Erhai took the initiative to go up and meet her.

"Come on, the movie is about to start; let's go in."

Liu Mei Qi nodded. She saw Wang Erhai holding a gift box in his hand, and became even more certain that Wang Erhai was going to confess to her.

She even thought: wouldn't Wang Erhai rent out the whole cinema to confess to her?

Would it be very romantic? Very beautiful?

If it really was like that, then she felt that Wang Erhai's ordinary appearance was also forgivable.

As long as a man knows how to create romance, his shortcomings in appearance can really be overlooked.

So she was full of anticipation, and even couldn't help but bloom with a happy smile, then followed Wang Erhai into the cinema.

"Want popcorn and drinks?"

After entering the cinema and picking up the movie tickets, Wang Erhai asked Liu Mei Qi this question.

Liu Mei Qi said:

"Whether or not, it doesn't matter."

Popcorn and drinks and such really didn't matter, because now she only wholeheartedly anticipated Wang Erhai's romantic confession to her.

"Still, let's buy some; otherwise just watching the movie would be boring."

Wang Erhai said this.

Then he went to buy a bucket of popcorn and two cups of drinks.

Liu Mei Qi's small face smiled, feeling Wang Erhai was clumsy to the point of being cute.

Holding the gift box glaringly in his hand without even trying to hide it, and still deliberately claiming he was just there to watch a movie, it was truly difficult for him to act like that.

Soon, the two entered the movie theater.

Found seats and sat down.

Other audience members came into the movie theater one after another.

The movie began.

Wang Erhai ate popcorn while watching the movie seriously.

Liu Mei Qi, on the other hand, ate popcorn from time to time and watched the movie absentmindedly, because she had been looking forward to Wang Erhai's romantic confession to her, so how could she have the mood to watch the movie?

Besides, movies like "Now You See Me" were not the kind girls would like; they still preferred movies like "Tiny Times" and "You Are the Apple of My Eye."

"Why hasn't he confessed yet?" When the movie was more than halfway through, seeing that Wang Erhai remained unmoved, Liu Mei Qi couldn't help but start to feel anxious inside.

The corner of her eye glanced at Wang Erhai, discovering that Wang Erhai was still watching the movie intently, with an expression of acting as if nothing had happened.

Liu Mei Qi felt she really couldn't see through Wang Erhai, just like when they were gambling before, she couldn't see through Wang Erhai's operation.

This man appeared sincere and harmless on the outside, but inside was another world.

This was the reason why Liu Mei Qi had identified him as a promising prospect.

Seeing that Wang Erhai still made no move, Liu Mei Qi took the initiative to create more subtle physical contact.

She deliberately reached out when Wang Erhai reached for the popcorn, so that the two would touch each other.

To create sparks.

But Wang Erhai did not understand her intention.

After their hands touched several times in a row while getting popcorn, Wang Erhai said softly:

"The rest are all for you to eat."

Liu Mei Qi's actions made him mistakenly think that Liu Mei Qi loved eating popcorn, so he felt he should leave all the remaining popcorn for Liu Mei Qi.

Hearing this, Liu Mei Qi was somewhat surprised.

"Ah?"

Wang Erhai said in a low voice:

"If you like eating it, after the movie ends, I'll buy another bucket."

"Oh." Liu Mei Qi was speechless for a moment, crying and laughing at the same time.

She couldn't help but show an embarrassed smile.

She finally endured until the movie was almost over.

Liu Mei Qi thought in her heart:

Wang Erhai should confess by now, right?
