CHAPTER XLIII
In the dim light of the theater, there seems to be an unknown restlessness and a worry that cannot be ignored.
Jiang Qu sat nervously in the middle of the third row, his eyes staring at the screen but not in the movie at all, so that the laughter of the surrounding audience made him confused.
Li Mingyue is watching with relish. She patted her thigh and laughed, then turned her head and asked Jiang Qu as if seeking approval: "It's too funny, isn't it?" ”
"Hehehe" Jiang Qu responded with a dry smile: "Yes"
In fact, he didn't even know what the movie was about. His mind echoed what Wu Chen told him, 'seize the opportunity to hold her hand'
He had been observing Li Mingyue since he sat down, and saw her put the Coke cup in the cup holder in front of the armrest, and from time to time pick it up and take a big sip before putting it back in place; Holding a popcorn bucket in one hand, he grabbed a handful and stuffed it into his mouth every few moments. Her movements follow the ups and downs of the movie's plot, sometimes eating a few bites of popcorn in a row, sometimes reaching into the popcorn bucket and pausing for a long time, waiting for the most interesting clips to pass before grabbing a handful to eat. As she was now, she was drawn to a certain episode, staring at the screen intently, her right hand in the popcorn bucket and not moving.
Jiang Qu looked left and right for a while, making sure that no one really paid attention to him, and after another ideological struggle in his heart, he slowly stretched out his hand tentatively.
His hand got closer and closer to hers, and his breathing became more and more stagnant, and after what seemed like a century, he finally gently covered the hand that Li Mingyue had half inserted in the popcorn bucket.
Li Mingyue's hand received a strange touch, and trembled slightly, then she withdrew her eyes from staring at the screen and turned her head to look at him strangely. Then he frowned and looked at Jiang Qu's hand that was stacked on the back of his hand.
He seemed to be very nervous, and his palms were drenched in a layer of fine sweat, and he seemed to be trembling slightly.
What she didn't know was that she was not just trembling, the moment she turned her head to look at him, he was stunned and nervous as if he had done something bad and was caught, almost instantly, as if he had been burned, Jiang Qu immediately retracted his hand, and his body subconsciously bounced away, blushing with a blushing face and stammering with a self-stammering explanation: "That-learn, senior sister, I, I am, I am-".
The face was flushed and helpless, as if he was the one who was being molested.
Li Mingyue raised her eyebrows, shook the popcorn bucket, and then nodded her chin at Jiang Qu: "Reach out"
"Huh?" Jiang Qu was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but think in his heart, "She is really much more honest than herself, look at how open she is, this is to take his hand generously."
Thinking so, he obediently stretched out his hand in front of her.
Li Mingyue shook her head: "Both hands are stretched out"
Jiang Qu couldn't help but purse his lips and smile shyly, but he still stretched out both hands flat.
"Together"
He was ordered by her to subconsciously put his hands together.
Then, he watched Li Mingyue lean the bottom of the popcorn bucket and tilt it, and suddenly reached a full handful of popcorn in his two hands.
She narrowed her eyes and smiled at him, "Is it enough?" Let's eat."
Jiang Qu blinked his eyes and didn't react for a while, Li Mingyue very generously poured some popcorn into his hand again, until he couldn't hold it with both hands and was about to spill it.
Jiang Qu has not made a sound.
By the light of the theater curtain, she could barely see his constipated expression.
"What's wrong?" She leaned closer and said in confusion, "Didn't you reach out and grab popcorn to eat?" ”
Jiang Qugan laughed: "Uh, heh" He nodded very reluctantly: "Well, yes"
Because his hand was full of popcorn, he pricked his face down, his mouth was bulging, and he said indistinctly: "Thank you, senior sister"
Li Mingyue didn't know if she had heard it wrong, why did she seem to be a little depressed.
Jiang Qu hunched over and buried his face in the popcorn in his hands and ate it in a strange posture, but he didn't have the idea of holding Mingyue's hand for a while.
Li Mingyue also retracted her gaze and seemed to be concentrating on watching the movie again, but the corners of her mouth that had been tightly pursed seemed to be twitching.
After a few minutes, she couldn't help it anymore, and twisted her head to the other side with her back to the canal, and grinned wildly in a low voice. If Jiang Qu didn't want to get rid of the popcorn in her hand at this time, but carefully observed Li Mingyue, she would definitely be able to find the uncontrollable shaking of her shoulders and the 'gurgling' sound in her throat that was driven by the vibration of her chest cavity despite her efforts to suppress it.
At the end of the movie, Li Mingyue commented to Jiang Qu: "It's really good, it's the funniest comedy movie this year."
Jiang Qu vaguely agreed: "Well, yes, it should be" He didn't look at it at all.
The two of them left the cinema and planned to go to dinner.
When taking the elevator, because there were a lot of people, they were squeezed side by side and stood together, and Jiang Qu could feel the temperature of each other's shoulders and arms rubbing against each other. It seemed that the back of his hand could touch the back of hers with a slight movement of his hand, and he did intend to do so.
However, the elevator door suddenly opened, and most of the people went down.
Li Mingyue immediately moved away and stood half a step in front of the river canal. There was only one uncle between them.
Jiang Qu cheered himself up again, and the ghost envoy slowly stretched out his hand and stretched out in the direction of her hand.
Suddenly, I heard Li Mingyue's scream: "What are you doing, be honest, I don't look back, it doesn't mean I didn't feel it"
Jiang Qu gasped in fright. Looking up at Li Mingyue again, she turned around slowly, and a pair of sharp eyes were staring fiercely at the Uncle Xie Ding.
Looking down slightly, Jiang Qu saw that the uncle's hand was impartially placed on the ass on the other side of Li Mingyue.
"You old rascal, why are you" Jiang Qu just opened his mouth and scolded, but the next moment he heard his miserable scream.
Li Mingyue directly grabbed this person's wrist and threw him in the corner of the elevator, twisting his entire arm into a weird posture, not to mention, he slapped him loudly and slapped him more than a dozen times according to his face. Bian Fan also scolded: "You are not serious, and you are obscene to my head?" Dare to hit my idea? Are you living impatiently? I'm the one you can take advantage of? ”
When the elevator reached the first floor, the uncle had already been slapped with gold stars in his eyes, and he shrank in the corner and begged for mercy.
This irascible output successfully shocked Jiang Qu, who had just had a little bit of non-dividing thoughts. It wasn't until the elevator door opened, and a few unknown people looked inward curiously, that he retracted his thoughts, and before he walked forward, he grabbed Li Mingyue's arm: "Don't, don't fight, senior sister"
The irritability and sharpness in Li Mingyue's eyes had not faded yet, so the glance that looked at Jiang Qu was really ruthless, and it scared him.
Jiang Qu glanced at his hand holding Li Mingyue, and then looked at the abused uncle who was lying miserably in the corner. Swallowed spit unconsciously, immediately let go of her hand, and helped her smooth the folds of her sleeves very doggedly, and then squeezed out a flattering smile that was very ugly because of her weak heart. Physical contact and other non-parting thoughts are absolutely unavoidable.
