afraid
In the afternoon, Ye Lin really took Ling Xiao to watch a movie.
Ling Xiao went to the cinema for the first time, and watched with some curiosity as Ye Lin bought a ticket, went to the side to buy drinks and popcorn, and was led into the screening hall by him with popcorn in one hand and the other hand.
The movie is a romance film, the hero and heroine have already moved each other's hearts, but because of various misunderstandings and mistakes, they have missed it again and again. is actually a very ordinary plot, but the actors are quite good-looking, and the shots and music are all extremely rendered, which makes people very involved in watching it. Halfway through the movie, the girl sitting on the other side of Ling Xiao had already begun to have red eyes.
Ye Lin didn't actually notice it at first, but Ling Xiao, who was originally watching a movie while eating popcorn, didn't know why he suddenly turned his head sideways. Ye Lin turned her head with some surprise, and then saw that Ling Xiao was actually handing a tissue to the girl sitting on the other side of her. The girl also seemed to be slightly surprised, and then suddenly blushed embarrassedly - the light in the screening room was too dim, Ye Lin couldn't even see her appearance clearly, but from her repeated apologies and then continuous thanks, she inferred that she was probably extremely embarrassed at this time.
Ling Xiao didn't speak, just stretched out his index finger to his lips and made a silent gesture, then bent his eyebrows and smiled silently, sat up straight and looked back, just bumping into Ye Lin's somewhat helpless gaze.
Ling Xiao blinked, ignored him, and soon continued to concentrate on watching the movie.
Ye Lin glanced at the girl sitting on the other side of his girlfriend, then looked down at his girlfriend next to him, reached out and touched the top of her head, and sighed almost with a little crying and laughing.
The duration of the movie is two hours - two hours later, the hero and heroine finally end with a freeze frame of completely solving the misunderstanding, holding hands and looking at each other and smiling. The lights in the screening room turned on, and Ye Lin saw the girl on the other side of Ling Xiao - it looked like a very quiet girl, and the girls next to her were probably the girlfriends who watched the movie with her. The girl looked at Ling Xiao at this time, blushed slightly with some embarrassment, and whispered thanks.
Ling Xiao waved his hand indifferently, packed up his drinks and popcorn, and pulled Ye Lin out of the table together.
Most of the girls who passed by along the way had red eyes.
Ye Lin lowered his head, looked at Ling Xiao's still usual expression, and couldn't help but be a little curious: "What do you think of the movie?" β
At this time, the two had already left the studio and found a dessert shop in the mall to sit down. Ling Xiao chose a window seat, and was eating pudding with his head down. Although she is not picky about eating, she seems to be very fond of desserts like most girls, and at this time, a pair of phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and her face was full of happiness and contentment. It wasn't until she heard Ye Lin's question that she raised her head, bit her little spoon and thought about it:
"Not as good as it could be."
After a pause, she added, "The rest is good, it's just the plot...... Not to my appetite. β
Ye Lin let out an "oh", instinctively feeling that this seemed to be a matter of course and not surprised, but he still subconsciously asked: "If it were you, what would you do?" β
Ling Xiao dug another spoonful of pudding, bit the spoon and took a big bite with satisfaction, but almost didn't think about it, and replied without hesitation:
"There's no misunderstanding β if I want to know, I'll ask for it."
Her chin was slightly raised, her phoenix eyes were slightly raised, and the bright spring light shone on her through the floor-to-ceiling windows, but it was as if her whole person was glowing.
-- so that he couldn't take his eyes off it at all.
Ye Lin was almost out of sight for a while.
Ling Xiao didn't seem to notice this at all, and after finishing speaking, he lowered his head and continued to concentrate on eating his pudding. Most of the desserts in the dessert shop are exquisitely made, but the amount is not very large. Ling Xiao finished eating the little patch that was left in two bites, and raised his head with a spoon in a hurry, but seeing Ye Lin on the other side, he was still a little stunned and looked at himself in a daze, and couldn't help but laugh all of a sudden.
Ye Ershao, who was in a daze, suddenly came back to his senses in the laughter of his girlfriend, coughed a little crampedly, and quickly lowered his head and took a big sip of coffee.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......" This time he was really coughing - he drank so quickly that he choked at once, and immediately blushed and coughed violently with his head down.
"You are really ......" Ling Xiao was so angry by his tossing and turning, he was funny and a little distressed, got up and sat beside him, stretched out his hand and gently patted his back to give him a smooth breath, and even quietly added some internal force to his palm, and did his best to straighten out the divergent breath.
Ye Lin really stopped coughing quickly, but the red on his face because of the cough did not subside so quickly. The man touched his nose, obviously feeling extremely embarrassed, and did not turn his head and did not speak.
Ling Xiao didn't care, leaned over, and reached out to hug his arm.
"I know what you're thinking." The little girl smiled and whispered in his ear, "Are you afraid that your father and brother will not know what else to do, and that it will also cause us to misunderstand or quarrel?" β
Ye Lin froze, and finally turned around, lowered his head to look at her eyes and looked at her.
Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows and looked at him without flinching: "You know what kind of person I am. β
Ye Lin grabbed her hand and held it tightly in his palm.
Ling Xiao shook him back vigorously, and his phoenix eyes lit up almost intimidatingly: "I'm not afraid of those things in your family, are you afraid?" β
Ye Lin was stunned, and suddenly felt that the phoenix eyes full of conceit and arrogance actually seemed to be gentle at this timeβan unprecedented gentleness.
Suddenly, he felt as if his whole heart had softened, and it seemed like something was spreading little by little in his chest, and it was sore.
From childhood to adulthood, he almost always lived under his father's control and demands. Even though he is now "running away from home", he still subconsciously feels instinctive jealousy and anxiety about his father.
But Ling Xiao said - she was not afraid.
He seems to ...... Suddenly, I was relieved.
Ye Lin nodded, whispered "um", and then subconsciously sparked in the little girl's phoenix eyes, suddenly realized that something was wrong, and quickly shook his head and explained: "I know you." β
Ling Xiao's expression softened suddenly.
Ye Lin paused, wanting to say "not afraid", but he felt that it was really hypocritical for a big man to say this, he opened his mouth and still didn't speak, just coughed vigorously, and touched the top of Ling Xiao's head with his other free hand.
Ling Xiao raised her head and stared at him with a smile for a long time, until Ye Lin was a little stunned by her, then she slowly withdrew her gaze, and then let go of her hand, stretched slightly, and held her chin thoughtfully.
Ye Lin suddenly became nervous, thinking that she didn't wait for her own answer, and felt unhappy, and after struggling for a while, she still stiffened her head and planned to speak: "I ......"
As soon as she said a word, the little girl suddenly raised her head and looked at herself:
"I'd like another ice cream ball."
Ye Lin choked and almost choked on himself again, so he quickly lowered his head and took a sip of coffee to smooth his breath, but when he lowered his head, he suddenly laughed in the little girl's blinking eyes and full of cunning eyes, and nodded with a smile:
"Okay."
β¦β¦
At home, I still have the food that my mother sent today. Ye Lin and Ling Xiao didn't stop in the mall after eating the dessert together, holding hands and going home to eat together.
The flow of people in the mall was too large and parking was inconvenient, Ye Lin did not drive, but took the subway with Ling Xiao, and at this time, the two naturally took the subway back together. The platform out of the station is a little away from Ye Lin's apartment, and it takes about 20 minutes to walk. The two had just eaten, and they were not in a hurry, so they simply walked home hand in hand, which was considered to be a good time to eliminate food and then continue to eat dinner.
When walking through the park opposite the community, the steps of the two of them were the same - the small park has always been a good place for nearby residents to take a walk after tea and dinner. It's just that the location here is good, the housing prices are expensive, there are not too many residents, and most of them are quietly doing their own things, so although the small park is loved by everyone, most of the time it is quiet and leisurely.
However, at this moment, not far from the entrance in the park, there are several people gathered around for some reason, and they are constantly talking about each other.
Ling Xiao and Ye Lin glanced at each other, and after thinking about it, they still couldn't turn a blind eye, and entered the park together.
"Auntie, I want to ask what's wrong?" Ye Lin called out to an old aunt in her fifties who was on the outskirts of the line.
Ye Lin is clear-looking, polite and polite, and almost instantly got the love of his aunt, and immediately explained without concealment: "Someone inside fainted, and he just called an ambulance." What a sinful ...... We didn't understand, we didn't dare to touch him, we didn't know if anything would happen before the ambulance came. β
Ye Lin thanked him and almost subconsciously looked at Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao frowned slightly, pursed his lips, and walked in without hesitation.
The crowd was quite tight, but for some reason, the little girl seemed to encounter no resistance at all when she walked forward, and when she took a step forward, the people on both sides seemed to be gently but undoubtedly pushed outward by some invisible hand, and made way for her.
The little girl took the man's hand, and in the blink of an eye she had walked into the center of the crowd so effortlessly, and then she was slightly stunned - there was a person on the other side who was just as crowded as her.
It's just that the person doesn't look as calm and effortless as her, and the shirt on his body has been slightly wrinkled because he has squeezed in all the way just now.
The two glanced at each other, and squatted down in unison to check on the person lying on the ground in the middle, but the person on the other side took the time to nod at Ling Xiao and smile gently.
Ling Xiao reached out to probe the pulse of the fainted man, and at the same time smiled faintly and nodded to him.
