Chapter 15: Laughing Inside

After Ning Hua finished lunch and broke up with his father, he was still suffocated and panicked as if something was pressing. On the way back to the study hall from the cafeteria, you have to cross a small bridge over the lake. She walked slowly on the bridge with her head down, and when she saw a pebble, she kicked and walked boredly, until she came to the lakeside path, and sat on a bench in the shade of the trees on the path. She stretched out her two feet and pulled the pebble in front of her feet to the left for a while, and then to the right, completely unaware that on a bench to her right, Huo Dongming sat down with her almost at the same time.

"What's wrong? How do you look wilting today? I don't go to study in the middle of the day, but I come here to sit dry, which is not like the style of our class of college tyrants! ”

Ning Hua heard the voice, and then found Huo Dongming sitting not far away. Although Ning Hua secretly liked him in his heart when he saw him for the first time, he never told anyone about it, and he never dared to show it. Since the beginning of her freshman year, she and Huo Dongming have always been classmates, and later they were divided into their current majors together, and they can see him every time they go to class. In the past few years, she has hidden the relationship in her heart deeply and endured it so hard. She knew that Huo Dongming had a girlfriend who was currently studying at the School of Management, and that girl was said to be his high school classmate. Ning Hua had seen that girl a few times on the way to the cafeteria to buy food before, and that girl was very beautiful.

"I'm fine. It's just that I feel a little tired today and want to rest outside and see the scenery. Ning Hua unconsciously straightened his waist and sat upright.

"Me too, why do you feel so stuffy today? So I thought of going outside. By the way, the third "Anti-Corruption Storm" was released today, do you want to go to see a movie? I ask you to see, do you want to go? ”

Ning Hua had watched the first and second parts of "Anti-Corruption Storm" before. "Anti-Corruption Storm" unfolds with the struggle within the Independent Commission Against Corruption, reflecting the battle of wits and courage between the Independent Commission Against Corruption and the money evil forces in Hong Kong, which is a typical black-and-white battle, which is also the consistent practice of the "anti-corruption" series. The series of films is released every two years, and it seems that the third "Anti-Corruption Storm" has now been released.

Ning Hua remembered that when she watched the first part, she was still a junior high school student, and she felt very exciting and enjoyable to watch when she saw the fights and kills. When she watched the second part, she was already a sophomore and didn't like to watch this kind of fight-fighting movie. But at that time, because they had just been divided into majors, they were reassigned to a new dormitory, and in order to enhance the friendship between the new and old members of the dormitory, and to see the strong cast, they bought tickets together and went to the cinema to watch the second "Anti-Corruption Storm". Ning Hua remembered that he didn't see anything new in the second part at that time, but by watching that movie, he did get closer to the feelings between the new roommates in the 216 dormitory. Ning Hua didn't know that the third "Anti-Corruption Storm" had been filmed, and the theater had already begun to release it again. Since it is a series of movies, she can indeed take a look, and she can also taste whether there is any progress in the filming of this series of movies in the past few years. However, Ning Hua still wanted to find out why Huo Dongming invited himself to watch the movie, was it just out of classmate love, or could there be some other reason? She didn't want to be teased by him.

"What about you, why did you play a trick on yourself today, why didn't you accompany your girlfriend to see it?" Ning Hua asked with a slightly red face.

"Hey, why do you ask so much? You just answer, do you want to go or don't want to go? ”

"Just go, what are you afraid of? I really don't want to study today, so it's better to go to a movie and relax. But I'm just worried that you'll be misunderstood by your girlfriend, and it wouldn't be good if that happened! Although Ning Hua was a little apprehensive in his heart, he still turned his face to look at Huo Dongming sideways, and plucked up the courage to say.

"Hey, you said you're a person, where did you get so much nonsense today? Just watch it if you want. Then you just agreed, I book the ticket now? Huo Dongming stared at Ning Hua's eyes tightly.

"I don't care, as long as you're not worried about being misunderstood by your girlfriend, then you can order it." Under the pressure of Huo Dongming's eyes, Ning Hua lowered his head and looked at the mobile phone in his hand, and did not forget to add, "I'll transfer you money when I go back!" ”

"What money to transfer? Didn't I just say that? Today I invite you to see. After Huo Dongming clicked on the website to buy tickets, when choosing a theater, he bent the corners of his mouth, grinned, and slid his fingers on the screen, sliding from the name of the theater closest to the school to the Wanda Cinema below, which is about 5 kilometers away from the school.

"Hey, how did you do that? Why Wanda Cinemas? Why not choose the cinema in front of the school? Wanda Cinema is quite far away from our school, how inconvenient, how convenient it is to go directly to the cinema opposite the school! ”

Huo Dongming smiled and squinted at Ning Hua, gloating: "I'm sorry, I slipped my finger, I didn't notice, so I clicked on it." If you don't want to go to Wanda, I'll refund my ticket now and rebook it. However, the theater across the street from the school is very old, and the visual and acoustic effects are nowhere near as good as the Wanda Cinema, don't you think? I've always wanted to experience Wanda, can you take a big ride today and accompany the villain to Wanda to see? I wonder if the villain has this honor? ”

Ning Hua said depressedly: "Hypocrisy, you have such an idea in your heart, you have already chosen, and you still ask me?" Forget it, that's it, don't retreat, just go to Wanda. I sacrificed my life to accompany the gentleman today, and I will accompany you to see how much better Wanda's sound effect is than the theater at our school gate! ”

Huo Dongming squinted at Ning Hua proudly, and after continuing to select the ticket price, number and seat on his mobile phone, he entered his mobile phone number, submitted the order, and completed the ticket buying process. After a while, Huo Dongming's mobile phone received an electronic ticket text message containing the serial number and ticket verification code.

The movie was held at three o'clock in the afternoon, and the two returned to their respective study rooms, packed their school bags, found two shared bicycles at the door of the teaching building, scanned the QR code on them, unlocked the car, and rode out of the school gate and ran to the cinema. When I arrived at the theater, probably because of the weekday, the huge theater hall was empty, with only a few customers in twos and threes. The two came to the automatic ticket machine in the cinema, Huo Dongming entered the serial number and ticket verification code on the screen of the automatic ticket machine, printed out the paper movie ticket, and went over to buy a large bucket of popcorn and two cups of Coke. The two ate and chatted until 5 minutes before the start of the movie, entering the hall and finding their seats to sit down. Ning Hua saw that in addition to the two of them, only the other five people in the viewing hall were sitting scattered, all of them were playing with their mobile phones, waiting for the movie to start.

"Ning Hua, have you watched the first and second parts of "Anti-Corruption Storm"?" Huo Dongming leaned closer to Ning Hua and asked.

"I've seen it, I watched it a few years ago, and I can't remember the specific plot clearly, I just know that it's all about fighting and killing." Ning Hua said softly. The boy who is in love with him is by his side, watching movies with him, although Ning Hua is laughing wildly in his heart, he is so reserved.

"Anti-Corruption Storm 3" is still quite interesting, stronger than the first two, and the plot and logic in the third part are also a lot stronger. The first two are action movies that are taken for granted, so there are more fights and kills. This third part is completely in the name of the people' anti-corruption, and the thread that runs through it is money laundering, which is also very in line with the theme of our country's anti-corruption. And the story structure is also relatively complete, which is worth watching. Huo Dongming talked eloquently to Ning Hua. In fact, he had long wanted to ask Professor Ning Da's baby daughter to go out, but every time he saw Ning Hua in the study room studying so seriously, he didn't want to bother. Today was also a coincidence, as soon as he walked to the lake and sat down, he saw Ning Hua walking absentmindedly with his head down, and then sitting mechanically on the bench next to him, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. Only then did I have the opportunity to walk over and invite her to watch a movie. As for his choice of Wanda Cinema, he is indeed a little ghostly, just to prolong the time he spent alone with Ning Hua.
