Chapter 436: 322. The Mystery of Bai Yueguang_2
"Is that how you want to start dating me early?"
Zhong Ruixi giggled, her lips curling up slightly.
It was easy to hear the love filled in her boyfriend’s tone.
"Of course."
While waiting for the traffic light, Lu Jincheng turned his head, buried his face in Zhong Ruixi’s faintly scented hair, and whispered his reply.
Some people say there’s really no such thing as Bai Yueguang.
It’s just the upper limit you encountered when your emotions first emerged.
Much like how Zhu Yuanzhang later refused to believe that the bowl of pearl and jade white jade soup was just a bowl of rotten cabbage soup.
His thoughts melted into the air, and he seemed to see Zhong Ruixi in her school uniform, suddenly recalling another timeline of himself.
In that world, his impression of Zhong Ruixi was forever stuck in her youthful days in a school uniform.
Their destinies became parallel lines of life, never intersecting again.
She wouldn’t show him her sweet smile, wouldn’t call him downstairs from her dorm to go to South Academy to study, wouldn’t cling to his arm coquettishly, nor would she change into a suit and high heels to compete in the highly noticed debating contest.
She wouldn’t blush and avoid Lu Jincheng’s parents’ gaze when she got off the plane for the first time.
She would remain forever young, forever beautiful, standing in her school uniform in his memories, the graduation photo showing her smiling brightly.
The man’s sigh as he passed by his alma mater was not because of the memories.
It was recalling himself who once was clumsy, inexperienced, and longing.
...
"In a few days, Pan Xuan and the others want to treat you to a meal~"
"Treat me?"
"Yes, didn’t you help them earn some part-time money? Since you rarely have time, and you finally get to relax at home, of course, they want to seize the opportunity to treat you."
Dating during the severe winter, always riding an electric bike was indeed a bit tough.
The two of them rode along the main road, chatting as they went.
After a little while, they turned toward Liao City’s central area at Wanda Square.
"I need to know beforehand because a few of my childhood friends have also asked me out to play games."
Lu Jincheng found a spot to park the electric bike and led Zhong Ruixi to the elevator.
"Going to the internet cafe again?"
"Yes, a man’s simple joy."
During the winter of 2015, counting the places in Liao City suitable for a date was actually not many.
Not like later with countless scripted murder shops, escape rooms, and DIY workshops continuously popping up on Meituan and Dianping apps.
Those didn’t exist at this time.
So for couples of different ages in Liao City, the most overlapping date options were just the old three: eat, sing at KTV, or go to a movie.
In January, there were already quite a few New Year’s films hitting the theaters.
However, Zhong Ruixi clearly wasn’t too keen on New Year’s films.
She pulled Lu Jincheng to choose a romance movie.
The mid-December release, "Fleetingly in that Year."
The movie’s name alone couldn’t escape the destiny of a popcorn film.
Zhong Ruixi held a bucket of popcorn, got two colas, and while watching the movie, she pinched popcorn to feed Lu Jincheng.
In the dark, the two nestled together, unable to clearly distinguish whether it was the sweetness of the movie’s plot, the girl’s fingers, or the taste of popcorn and soda.
Watching movies as a couple was actually an art.
Every time they were in such a dim, private setting, and the relationship hadn’t been defined yet, the atmosphere could become a bit subtle.
So choosing the right film was even more critical.
For example, couples who hadn’t clarified their relationship status were suitable for watching romance or horror movies.
The dark and eerie environment in a horror movie, creepy and strange background music, supernatural creatures lurking in the corners, bloody limbs and severed hands...
But the true warriors who enjoy horror movies are few; most people have an ambiguous attitude towards horror films.
That’s because they’re influenced by the "suspension bridge effect".
Whether crossing a suspension bridge or watching a horror movie, when you’re nervous and jittery if there’s another person next to you, it’s easy to misinterpret the resulting heartbeat as fluttering because of the other person.
And romance movies naturally need no further explanation.
In nine out of ten romance films, there’s no surprise that the male and female leads will kiss.
Actually, kissing itself isn’t too big of a deal, but in the middle of two people who are still in an ambiguous phase, a wonderful feeling of heartbeat gradually emerges.
Many couples would look at each other blushing after a kiss on screen, gently holding each other’s hands, naturally creating a sweet story.
Just like this moment.
Eddie Peng and Ni Ni kissed on the screen, slowly fermenting the atmosphere.
The normally calm Lu Jincheng quietly glanced at Zhong Ruixi by his side.
The girl with a ponytail, sipping her cola by herself, her beautiful manicured nails pinching a piece of popcorn, was deeply captivated by the scene in front.
"What’s so good about this?"
The man quietly wrapped his arm around Zhong Ruixi’s lower abdomen and soon met his lover’s gaze.
What’s up?
Do you also want a kiss?
Zhong Ruixi had already guessed what was about to happen.
So, she turned her head.
Slowly closing her eyes, her cheeks flushed pink, her lips drawing near.
Lu Jincheng, however, didn’t lean over with the big motion she had imagined.
He pulled over his coat, covering between the two, the hand on her abdomen gradually moving up, disappearing inside Zhong Ruixi’s cropped sweater.
...
?
Zhong Ruixi’s popcorn-chewing paused slightly.
She turned her head and glared fiercely at Lu Jincheng.
Not here, in public...
But she made no sound.
Warm jasmine scent; such beauty is known to man.
Lu Jincheng quickly felt the beauty of the entire world.
On the two satin straps, there appeared to be small clusters of pink lace, so delicate they seemed like they could break at any moment.
Around the edges, there seemed to be dense lace embroidery.
The weaving was delicate, the patterns simple.
"This one is quite exquisite, huh? What color is it?"
Lu Jincheng was very familiar with these types of intimate fabrics.
Of course, in this regard, the girls around him never disappointed him.
Such tenderness, yet with an air of admiration and an offensive stance.
It was utterly intoxicating.
Sure enough, at this moment, Zhong Ruixi’s eyes were full of affectionate tender emotion, with a trembling yet mischievous voice, she whispered inaudibly in response.
"Um... well, you tell me first, what kind do you like?"
"If it’s yours, I like any type."
He simply responded instinctively.
But the moment he spoke, even Lu Jincheng himself was somewhat dissatisfied.
Although, it was the truth.
With Zhong Ruixi’s qualities, any fabric that clung to her skin could magically gain a unique charm.
But faced with this view meant solely for him,
He felt that his response was somewhat lacking, even perfunctory.
"However, the most suitable for you, I think, might be the black ones, a bit cooler, lacey, demi-cup with some uplifting effect..."
Lu Jincheng couldn’t help but describe and imagine further, adding a few more comments.
"You really understand, huh."
"But why? Why do you think I suit that kind..."
Zhong Ruixi couldn’t help but laugh helplessly.
She was embarrassed by the man’s precise and detailed description, blushing all over, momentarily stammering and feeling awkward.
"Because... ah."
The man hadn’t finished speaking and continued.
Until the girl’s eyes were filled with a mist of perplexity, even her breathing losing its regular rhythm.
She quickly grabbed Lu Jincheng’s hand and pinched him, stopping his unrestrained action.
Decisively calling a halt.
It hurts so much...
The man couldn’t help but take a deep breath of cold air.
"Don’t mention it; the movie was actually quite good..."
Soon the movie ended, and they walked out of the theater with the bustling crowd.
Lu Jincheng acted as if nothing had happened, his expression unchanged.
Zhong Ruixi had just come out of the restroom, fixing a button that had somehow come undone on her back and her wrinkled sweater.
"Did you actually watch it?"
She pouted and rolled her eyes at Lu Jincheng.
He was all focused on himself, barely watching the movie at all!
"I did watch."
"Then you tell me, why at the end..."
Zhong Ruixi was still speaking defiantly when suddenly someone patted her on the shoulder.
