Chapter 132 A long-lost date
While the taxi was driving, Shirley Jiang tensed up and looked out the window with a red face.
It does seem like first dates are stressful.
The little hands are tightly clasped together.
Although it was his first date, it was not the first time that Lin Zhengran had played with her alone since he was a child.
He turned around and looked at the nervous look of the little girl, wondering if it was because she hadn't been alone with him for too long. It looks so tight.
The taxi didn't go to the city center because it was too far. It only stopped at a large shopping mall on the edge of the city.
There are usually a lot of people visiting here, and the facilities are very complete. In addition, it is the National Day period. Although it is the last day, there are still a lot of people and couples coming in and out of the mall.
Very lively.
Lin Zhengran asked Shirley Jiang what she wanted to eat for breakfast.
Jiang Shirley clasped her hands behind her back and saw a nearby fast food restaurant, and thought for a moment: "Burger?"
"Let's go!"
The two of them went to the burger restaurant. When they entered the door, Shirley Jiang took the initiative and said, "Let me order!"
Lin Zhengran did not refuse.
But when he wanted to see what Jiang Shirley ordered, Jiang Shirley pushed Lin Zheng back in a panic, trying to get him to sit somewhere else: "You go sit first, you don't have to watch here, go sit and rest first. ! ”
"You don't need me to get food?"
"No, no, I'll call you when I can't get it! Find a place to sit quickly, otherwise there won't be any seats later."
After Lin Zhengran left, Jiang Shirley asked the clerk in a low voice: "Is there any... set meal for couples here?"
The clerk nodded: "Yes, our store has recently launched two couple packages, you can take a look."
"Okay, let me take a look."
The young lady pushed a product picture from the table to the other party, and pointed to the location of the couple's package.
"These two are newly launched."
Shirley Jiang saw that the first set meal was two burgers, two chicken rolls, two cups of Coke and snacks of your choice.
She thought to herself, what kind of couple package is this?
Isn't this a set meal for two?
Is it a couple package with a picture of a heart?
Do you understand why people come here to buy couple’s packages? !
As soon as I finished complaining in my heart, the clerk said: "If you buy the first set meal, you will get a small love toy as a gift."
When Jiang Shirley spoke, her little tiger teeth were exposed, and she decisively refused: "I'll take a look again."
You really think I am a child!
The second set meal is four burgers and six chicken rolls, plus a large couple's drink and four snacks. The most distinctive feature of this set is the straws. This straw is a very popular one on the Internet, two straws. The type where two become one in the middle.
Jiang Xueli was moved as soon as she saw it, but the second package was nearly twice as expensive as the first package..
She thought to herself that she was still young, and it wasn't that the burger shop didn't know how to do business, but that she was very good at doing business.
Damn capitalist!
“Is there anything you can give away in the second package?”
"No, dear." The clerk smiled, showing two rows of neat teeth.
"Aren't these all packages with the same name? There are cheap ones, but not expensive ones?"
"Because few people bought the cheap ones, I gave them toys as gifts, otherwise no one would buy them."
Shirley Jiang didn’t know what to say, but her cheeks turned slightly red when she thought of the straw: “Then give me the second set meal.”
"Okay, please wait."
So after a while, Lin Zhengran saw Jiang Shirley coming over with a large plate full of breakfast...
A plate of chicken rolls, burgers and various snacks, plus a large glass of milk.
Lin Zhengran was shocked: "You didn't eat last night?"
Shirley Jiang exclaimed: "Eat it."
Lin Zhengran remembered that she had sent him a message last night and that she had indeed eaten.
"Then why did you order so much? Have you finished eating so early in the morning?"
Tsundere never lies, because whenever she lies, her face turns red with embarrassment. She puts the plate on the table and pretends to be dumbfounded:
"I didn't know there were so many. I ordered it when I saw there was a set meal. I didn't look carefully to see how much food there was. It doesn't matter! It won't be wasted. I'll eat more."
Before she came, she purposely pulled out the two-in-one couple's straw, because plugging it directly into the drink always felt like her purpose was too obvious:
"That's right. When I finished buying the set meal, I discovered that there seemed to be something wrong with the straw. The straw he gave me seemed to be a couple straw, so if you want to drink, you can drink it."
Lin Zhengran knew what it would be as soon as he saw her hiding secretly.
He answered casually and deliberately teased her: "I'm not thirsty, just drink."
"Huh?!"
This sentence was terrifying to Shirley Jiang to death.
Then what's the point of buying such a big drink and buying so many set meals?
But even so, Shirley Jiang still said: "Okay, then I'll drink it myself."
She plugged in the couple's straw, which had two suction tips on top. Then she drank the drink sadly, opened the burger and took a few bites.
A look of decadence.
Lin Zhengran also opened a chicken roll and took a few bites, and said helplessly: "I'm suddenly thirsty. Give me a few sips."
"Thirsty?" Upon hearing these words, Shirley Jiang, who was sluggish, suddenly became energetic and her whole body shone. She put down the burger in her hand and handed over the drink excitedly.
"Now, drink quickly! You drink with the other end."
Lin Zhengran took it and took two big gulps.
Jiang Shirley stared longingly at Lin Zhengran's Adam's apple moving while drinking.
Although the two people did not use the same straw tip, the middle of the straw was the same.
Besides, I had just had a few sips. Is this... considered an indirect kiss?
Shirley Jiang’s face became redder and redder, she always felt like.
Lin Zhengran handed the drink back to her: "It's okay if you can't finish the burgers. We can just pack them up and take them away."
Shirley Jiang took the drink hesitantly and looked obviously excited: "Okay"
She smiled and said, "But don't worry, I'm still very hungry now. I probably won't have much left."
After saying that, he took a few more sips of the drink in excitement and gnawed on the burger.
Appetite is up.
Half an hour later, as Shirley Jiang feasted, there were really not many left.
There was only one burger and two chicken rolls left. Of course, this so-called feast was not much, because Lin Zhengran ate nearly half of it.
But just the four packs of snacks and a chicken roll were enough to make Shirley Jiang hold her stomach.
"My belly is really big." She said, covering her full belly.
After breakfast, the two of them sat at the dining table and started flipping through the playing time of the romantic movie.
It turned out that there wasn't one at all in the morning, but there was one at 10:30 in the morning.
Of course, this is the default rule. After all, few film festivals will show romantic movies as the first show in the morning.
Because lovers are creatures that cannot get up early.
They will only go shopping when they are tired of lying in bed, and ticket sales are at their peak at night.
Shirley Jiang looked at the movie playing time above: "There's no movie in the morning, so what should we do?"
Don't look at her asking, but she actually knew last night that the current performance is all lies, because she has to wait to watch the movie at 10:30, so the date time will inevitably increase significantly!
Today’s appearance is Xinjiang.
Who knew that Lin Zhengran said: "If you don't have that movie, just watch another one. How about this one? It says it is the rise of Chinese comics."
Although he has been a man for two generations, it does not affect Lin Zhengran who still occasionally watches some entertainment works. Who is not a sixteen-year-old boy?
Shirley Jiang actually liked watching it.
But after watching this, will you still watch a romantic movie at 10:30 in the morning?
She was embarrassed to ask because she said she was treating her today, but she only had enough money to watch a movie.
And Zhengran all volunteered to see it.
"That's okay. It's true. Have I seen this slogan somewhere before? Am I remembering it wrong? I remember it has risen before."
"Who knows, anyway, it's a good thing to rise a few more times and prosper."
So the two of them went to the cinema together and bought tickets.
When checking the tickets, the ticket inspector asked unexpectedly: "Are you two a couple?"
Jiang Shirley was startled and looked at Lin Zhengran.
Lin Zhengran nodded.
Jiang Shirley said happily: "Yes, we are a couple!"
The ticket inspector explained:
"Well, we have an activity for couples watching movies this morning. As long as they touch the tips of their noses face to face, you can enjoy a free bucket of popcorn!"
Jiang Shirley was moved when she heard this: "Really? But...but where should such a thing be done? Is it here?" She obviously wanted to do it but deliberately asked Lin Zhengran:
"Of course, do you think it would be embarrassing to do something like this here? But he also gave us popcorn. Wouldn't it be a loss if he didn't take it?"
As a result, Lin Zhengran pointed to the sign next to him.
Jiang Xueli looked at it and found that it said that the event started at 10:30 in the morning. It happened to be the time when the love movie started.
The ticket inspector also said: "The event has not started yet. This event only starts at 10:30 in the morning, so if you two are willing, you can come and watch another one at 10:00 in the morning."
Jiang Xueli's face dropped.
I thought it would be better not to say anything because I would definitely not be able to watch the movie at 10:30 in the morning.
No money either!
Lin Zhengran observed Jiang Xueli's aggrieved expression with a smile on his lips.
He has his own ideas.
The ticket inspector asked again: "By the way, do you want to buy popcorn and drinks?"
Of course the two people who had just eaten didn't want it.
After the ticket inspector tore off their ticket stubs, they walked into the cinema together.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she walked to the entrance of the screening hall, Shirley Jiang sighed with emotion:
"Wow, this is what it looks like inside a cinema! Why does it feel so dark inside?"
Lin Zhengran was curious and confused: "You haven't been here before?"
Jiang Shirley shook her head naturally:
"No, who am I coming with? My parents are very busy. I usually have to practice singing and I don't have any particularly good friends. I only know you. How come you've been here before?"
Lin Zhengran thought it was outrageous. This guy had amnesia, right:
"Have you forgotten? Last time I came with you, didn't you still talk about what happened when you fell asleep all day long?" "Yes!"
She suddenly remembered that she had been talking about not seeing it clearly last time all day long, but how could she forget it in the end? But..
Shirley Jiang said blankly: "I really have no memory of the last time I watched a movie with you. I just remember that I watched it with you and then fell asleep."
Lin Zhengran thought for a moment: "That may be because you were too sleepy last time and were in a daze the whole time. You might even be sleepwalking the whole time."
"Emm, it's possible, then I'll take a closer look this time!" She said, clenching her little fists.
The two opened the door, and suddenly their dark eyes could not see anything.
Shirley Jiang seemed a little panicked: "Just so...how are we going to find our place in such a dark place?"
Lin Zhengran held her little hand: "Just follow me. You will be able to see it with your eyes in a while."
He felt that big hand suddenly hold him tightly.
In the darkness, Shirley Jiang was excited and sensitive, no matter what mood she was in at the moment.
The deer bumped around.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
His eyes were fixed on the invisible pair of hands held together.
Blushing, he followed Lin Zhengran to the middle seat.
Lin Zhengran looked at the number and let go: "This is it."
Shirley Jiang sighed that he was so awesome.
"You can find it even in such a dark place?"
"It's not that dark. Didn't you realize that you can see clearly now?"
Shirley Jiang looked around and felt magical. Her vision was really clear: "It's true! Did you turn on some small lights?"
"If you don't believe me that you're not good at studying, your eyes have adapted. Sit down."
"I know my eyes are adapting, but it still feels amazing."
Lin Zhengran lamented that it felt like it was her first time here.
The two sat next to each other.
Jiang Xueli looked behind and then in front, and found that except for a couple watching in the distance, there was no one at all in the early morning.
"There are so few people."
"We came out too early, but we reserved the venue, so comfortable."
Because Jiang Shirley had never been sober before, looking at the huge screen in front of her, she felt that everything was very fresh.
It's just that the armrest in the middle is a bit awkward with Lin Zhengran.
Why design something like this in the middle? There is a distance between people.
Oh wait, even though I was in a daze when I watched the movie last time, was there this armrest?
How come he doesn't remember?
Lin Zhengran saw Jiang Shirley's confused expression, so he taught her: "This thing can be broken apart."
Put the handrail up.
Shirley Jiang was shocked: "So it can be like this! I just said that if those couples come to watch a movie, this thing will be in the way."
Lin Zhengran looked at the big screen: "The movie is about to start, let's watch the movie."
Jiang Shirley followed his gaze and looked at the big screen, thinking that although it wasn't a couple movie, it was still the first time... no, the second time to watch a movie with Lin Zhengran!
This time I definitely can’t fall asleep halfway like last time! I must finish reading it!
And then, if possible, be the same as before.
She blushed again.
Recalling the scene of holding hands when entering the cinema.
It would be nice if we could hold hands again. His hand looked really big and warm just now
Well, don't fall asleep and hold hands!
As soon as the movie started, Shirley Jiang's eyes lost energy, her upper and lower eyelids kept fighting, and she fell asleep within three minutes of leaning on the chair.
She leaned slightly, leaning on Lin Zhengran's shoulder and fell asleep.
Lin Zhengran seemed to have guessed that this was the case, because although the little girl was full of energy when she woke up this morning, one could still tell the state of someone who had stayed up all night and someone who had slept all night.
Even if you don't feel sleepy when you go shopping, the blood in your brain will be used to digest the food after eating so much.
Coupled with the comfortable environment in the cinema, it would be strange not to fall asleep.
But just for this reason, Lin Zhengran specifically chose this scene in the morning. In fact, it was not to watch a movie, but to sleep for this stupid girl with twin tails.
After sleeping well, I can continue to watch the love movie at 10:30.
Jiang Xueli was sleeping peacefully next to her, and Lin Zhengran lowered his head to look at her playful and slightly tired look.
When it comes to cuteness and cuteness, Lin Zhengran has always felt that Jiang Shirley is the cutest among the three of them from a long time ago. He Qing's words are either cute or cute.
Shirley Jiang looks like a squeaking little girl from head to toe, and her height and appearance are different from when she was a child.
But from time to time, he looked like he was jumping and walking because of happiness, and from time to time, he turned his head and said arrogant words stubbornly.
Lin Zhengran always felt happy when he saw it.
The movie ended in over an hour.
Walking out of the cinema hall, Shirley Jiang stood in a daze at the door of the cinema, her eyes dull: "Where am I now?"
Lin Zhengran: "At the entrance of the cinema, the movie has been finished. Of course you must not have watched it, because you just fell asleep."
Jiang Shirley's entire body turned into stone and turned into a statue.
Slowly turning his head, the stone fragments from his neck fell off.
"Look...have you finished reading?! Why did I fall asleep?" Invisible tears fell from her eyes.
Lin Zhengran wanted to laugh: "I guess you didn't sleep much last night? You were asleep anyway."
Shirley Jiang hugged her head and shouted in her heart in confusion this time: "Why did I fall asleep again! Both dates were ruined! What have I been doing!"
She sniffed in frustration and really wanted to wipe away the non-existent tears with her arms.
Lin Zhengran walked forward: "Let's go, let's go shopping after watching the movie."
Shirley Jiang sighed and followed silently.
Although she regretted it very much after waking up from sleep, Jiang Xueli's state was indeed much more sober.
The two people walked slowly on the street step by step.
When I came outside the mall, I looked at the various bustling shops on the street.
As Shirley Jiang looked at it, she suddenly realized how long it had been since she and Zheng Ran were shopping aimlessly like this.
Mingming has been with him since the fourth grade. He was in fourth grade, fifth grade and sixth grade. Before junior high school, she was almost inseparable from him. We ate, went to school and came to school together every day.
We stayed together for those three years.
I didn't feel anything at that time, but looking back now, it seems that a long time has passed.
Even I can't remember how many little things happened in those three years.
Lin Zhengran also said: "It seems like a long time ago that I last walked with you alone on the street without any purpose, right?"
Shirley Jiang looked up at him, her two pony tails lightly jumping up and down following her footsteps:
"Well, it seems that we haven't gone shopping together since we entered junior high school. Since He Qing came here, we have been together and have never gone shopping alone."
Lin Zhengran: "Although I can't tell when I stay with you so often, I occasionally think about the past and find that you are really different from when you were a child. You are much more beautiful and more honest."
Jiang Shirley didn't expect that he would praise her so neatly.
Shyness spreads across the cheeks, lowering the head slightly:
"No, but my appearance may be better, because after I entered high school, people began to confess to me. Didn't I tell you before during military training? They also praised me for being cute and wanted to chat with me. For a moment, but I don’t feel anything for anyone else except you.”
She whispered softly: "I would rather watch you from a distance in the class than waste time talking to them."
Lin Zhengran glanced at her:
"Let's go out and hang out from time to time. I used to teach you and He Qing how to practice singing and Taekwondo because the two of you had an unstable foundation at that time. Now that you have a good foundation, the rest of the way will be much easier and you can spare a lot of time. Relax outside like today. ”
"Well, okay." Shirley Jiang had a smile on her face and asked without any foreshadowing: "It's true... do you think you'll be happy being with me?"
"Huh?"
She looked away sheepishly:
"I don't know what you are like, but I am so happy every day when I am with you. For example, just walking around and doing nothing makes me feel very happy...
In the past, whenever I was alone with you, even if I was just practicing singing in the room, I would wake up very early in the morning with excitement. ”
She thought about how she felt neurotic every day:
"I got up very early to pack my things, just thinking that you could come to me early and lie on my bed to sleep early. Speaking of which! And I always said that I don't like you lying on my bed. They are all lies. In fact, I like you very much. It feels very casual when you are with me.”
She turned to look at Lin Zhengran: "Because in this way, it will appear that we are very familiar with each other, and we can do whatever we want without any restrictions...it will look like a couple in the eyes of others."
Lin Zhengran stared at Jiang Shirley unexpectedly. Jiang Xueli pursed her small lips and slowly grinned happily, her eyes filled with crescent moons:
"But I really didn't expect that one day we would actually become a couple, and you would become my boyfriend. It always feels like a dream."
"I thought you would be my girlfriend a long time ago."
She opened her eyes, her eyes trembling.
Lin Zhengran: "Because I am very happy when I am with you."
She looked at him dreamily and coughed suddenly. She really didn't dare to look at him again and looked away again: "That's really a coincidence. I can only say that we are really a match made in heaven."
Lin Zhengran stretched out his hand.
Jiang Shirley waited for a while but didn't hear Lin Zhengran speak. She turned around and saw him extending his hand.
It took only a brief moment for her to understand what the other party meant.
Looking at his beautiful palms in disbelief.
The snow-white little hand moved slightly, slowly raising her hand and placing it in his palm.
When the two hands touched together, Lin Zhengran held them.
Shirley Jiang bit her lip slowly.
The alarm clock on his cell phone rang. Lin Zhengran took his cell phone out of his arms and looked at the time.
"The time has come."
"It's time? When is it?" Shirley Jiang thought it was time for a date, but they had just held hands.
As a result, Lin Zhengran took out two more movie tickets from his pocket.
It’s a ticket for the love movie at 10:30.
"It's time to watch a movie. I guessed that you would fall asleep during the movie just now. You still had dark circles at the corners of your eyes this morning, so I bought the tickets for this movie early, which is at 10:30. It’s a good time to go see it.”
He asked deliberately: "Do you want to go?"
Shirley Jiang stared at the two movies she wanted to watch since yesterday.
Unable to hold back a smile, he stared directly at Lin Zhengran with his energetic eyes, one hand held by him and the other behind his back.
Laughing and scolding the other person: "You idiot~ Of course I want to go!"
Lin Zhengran held her hand and walked quickly towards the cinema.
