Chapter 138

Xu Yutong didn't like this way of feeding.

Just wanted to reproach, but saw Su Yang's handsome face.

Under a strange impulse, she actually nodded.

Seeing this, Su Yang's smile deepened, and he took a few more popcorns and fed them over.

Xu Yutong's lips touched the warmth of his fingertips, her body felt numb, and her face became even more flushed.

Especially being in an ambiguous atmosphere, plus the pleasure of 'cheating' added in her heart, the whole person was about to faint.

Although she knew this was acting, and also knew their intimate relationship was tied by the task.

But knowing it was fake, she still couldn't help but immerse herself in it.

Her brain kept recalling the bits and pieces of the past between the two...

Remembering his struggle to help move the suitcase, remembering him often bringing her a cup of hot milk tea after class...

She didn't know why she ended up in the position of a 'third party.'

Thinking and thinking, her best friend's figure appeared in her brain again.

Xu Yutong was shocked and hurriedly shook her head to shake off the unrealistic thoughts.

"No, no, I can't think randomly anymore."

As if guilt was at work, her mouth was tightly closed, not letting Su Yang succeed.

"Don't want to eat anymore?" Su Yang asked softly.

Xu Yutong's cheeks bulged, and she looked at the screen without saying a word.

Su Yang shook the popcorn bucket, making a 'rustling' sound, and suddenly realized, "Want to leave some for me?"

Xu Yutong just prepared to refute, but found that the large popcorn bucket actually only had a quarter left.

So she had eaten so much?

Why didn't she notice at all?

Unknowingly, she had fallen into a 'beauty trap.'

Damn Su Yang!

Su Yang tasted it beautifully, drinking cola from time to time, and bursts of fragrance kept coming from beside him, his mood was great.

Even if it was a trash movie, it didn't seem so hard to watch anymore.

The plot of the movie that followed was also cliché; the male lead and the second female lead got together, the female lead sincerely blessed the two, but for some reason, she felt very uncomfortable in her heart.

To distract herself, the female lead began to study crazily and finally got into her dream university.

On the first day of university, she saw that familiar figure in the vast crowd.

While happy in her heart, she was also a bit disappointed, and finally chose to turn a blind eye.

And the male lead's emotional life also had a turning point; because of the long-distance relationship, even if the second female lead often came to see him.

But love is hard to resist distance, and it ended in a breakup at the beginning of the sophomore year.

That year, the female lead became the head of the Discipline Inspection Department.

Perhaps it was fate, the two met at the top in a debate competition; the moment they looked at each other, it was like eternity.

In that competition, the male lead won, but he didn't have the joy of winning at all.

Don't know if it was unwillingness or wanting to fight for a breath, the female lead participated in competitions frequently, but always met the male lead when reaching the top.

Back and forth, the two developed feelings for each other.

At this time, the female lead happened to meet the boy who was bullied back then when she went home on vacation, only then did she learn that the male lead had stood up for him.

The female lead was struck by lightning, her brain recalling the bits and pieces of the past.

Many misunderstandings were resolved one by one, and guilt surged like a tide.

At that moment, the female lead realized that she had always liked him.

Love was hidden in her heart because of the so-called best friend's feelings, she chose to give way, but finally lost miserably.

At this time, she happened to meet the second female lead again and learned the news that the two had broken up, overjoyed.

Just as she turned around, she saw the smiling male lead.

The two poured out their hearts and finally got together.

Then the two studied hard together at university and worked hard after graduation.

Everything was very smooth and beautiful.

The green feelings didn't seem so fragile, but instead became more stable because of the twists and turns in the middle.

But good times didn't last long; the male lead was diagnosed with rectal cancer.

The treatment process didn't go as smoothly as imagined; one chemotherapy after another never saw results.

Finally, the male lead chose to take the risk of surgery; this was his last hope.

At the end of the film, the female lead found a letter while cleaning up the male lead's belongings—

"Love rises with the wind, starting with impulse, ending with fate."

"I finally caught you, but heaven didn't give me the chance to cherish you."

"If love has a time limit... I hope it's forever."

Up to this point, the film ended.

Sobbing sounds kept coming from the cinema; Su Yang saw a girl crying until she was out of breath.

"Is it that tear-jerking? I think if this movie were put on Douban, it would at most have a 6.5 rating," Su Yang said.

But when he turned his head, he saw Xu Yutong's eyes streaming with two lines of hot tears, her eye sockets red, becoming a tearful person.

Su Yang:???

Out of respect, he chose to put the popcorn bucket on the ground, not disturbing Xu Yutong to savor the aftertaste.

Wanted to hand over a tissue, but Su Yang suddenly thought of something and slowly pulled his hand out of his pocket.

"So touching, why is the female lead so miserable," Xu Yutong sobbed.

"Screenwriter arranged it."

"The female lead finally had love, the male lead finally found his true heart, they haven't been happy for long..."

"Screenwriter arranged it."

"You say if the male lead realized he liked her earlier, would there be no things later?"

Xu Yutong looked at Su Yang full of hope, wanting to hear the answer from his mouth.

To this, he hesitated slightly and said, "Feelings cannot be forced; if they got together earlier, maybe they wouldn't cherish it so much."

"This relationship wouldn't be so precious."

"It's precisely because they experienced all kinds of twists and turns that it seems hard-won."

Xu Yutong felt deep regret and nodded. "The female lead is too kind; she shouldn't have cared about her best friend."

Su Yang glanced at her.

Substituted in so fiercely?

That's why she cried so much?

Most of the bridges in the movie had many common points with him, his ex-girlfriend, and Xu Yutong.

But in reality, even without his ex-girlfriend, he wouldn't have taken a fancy to Xu Yutong.

He couldn't say these words; after all, it's a date now, not a competition to see who can put more pressure on each other.

"Let's go, let's eat," Su Yang took her hand and walked out.

Along the way, Xu Yutong's mood was very low; no matter what Su Yang said, she only responded with 'hmm' and 'oh.'

Occasionally, he noticed that Xu Yutong's eyes looking at him had changed a bit.

From the initial hidden wariness to the strangeness now.

"What do you want to eat? Hot pot, barbecue, or sushi?" Su Yang asked.

"Anything," Xu Yutong said without much interest.

"Then hot pot; we haven't eaten together for a long time," Su Yang pulled her into a hot pot restaurant called 'Dalongkan' without saying a word.

"How many people, please?"

"Two."

"This way, please."

Led by the waitress, Su Yang found a seat by the window and sat down.

Choosing hot pot actually had a selfish component.

Eating barbecue would put a lot of time into 'grilling'; the boy would definitely take the initiative to grill, which would distract him and make it impossible to focus on the conversation.

Stir-fry and sushi would lose the opportunity to perform; Su Yang wanted performance points, so of course, he had to add side missions.

And hot pot is different; the table is large, and if two people sit face to face, it will appear exceptionally distant, and chatting won't be convenient.

So Su Yang naturally sat beside her and picked up the menu.

"One portion of yellow throat, one portion of snowflake beef, one portion of baby squid, two portions of shrimp paste."

"One portion of hollow heart vegetables, one portion of ringing rolls, and another portion of crispy meat."

"Spicy and tomato for the soup base, thank you."
