Chapter 28: No Turning Back
Can two people hold hands before they become real boyfriends and girlfriends?
Tang Xiaomian didn't know.
All she knew was that she didn't seem to be disgusted by such a situation.
Well...... Not only was she not disgusted, but she even felt a little more inexplicable throbbing in her heart.
From last night's confession to today's hand-holding, everything happened so suddenly, but it never made her feel uncomfortable.
- She suddenly felt as if she was particularly easily deceived.
"Your hands are a little cold." Lin Wang pinched her fingers and said casually.
"Hmm......" Tang Xiaomian pursed her lips and lowered her head, so distraught that she didn't want to speak.
"Has it always been like this?"
“…… I don't know. ”
"Is it cold or not?" Lin Wang glanced at her down jacket, estimating that it should be quite warm.
"It's okay, it's not cold." Tang Xiaomian shook his head.
"That's not a matter of wearing less, it may have something to do with your physique."
Lin Wang tightened his palm slightly, completely wrapping her little hand, "Let's go to the supermarket and buy a hand warmer later." ”
"Hand warmers?"
"It's a small object used to warm your hands, and it's about the same effect as the milk tea in your hand."
"Oh......" Tang Xiaomian looked at the milk tea in his hand, lowered his head and bit the straw, and took a small sip.
Both hands are warm, and the body is warm, and it feels good.
Well...... It's just that the heart is beating a little fast, and it doesn't seem to mean to slow down at all.
The nearest large supermarket is in the middle of the shopping street, and the two walked unhurriedly, and soon arrived at the main entrance of the supermarket.
Considering that today's time is relatively abundant, there is no need to rush home to cook, Lin Wang took Tang Xiaomian to the daily necessities, household appliances and other areas first, and took a walk indoors.
"You see what you need, you can write it down now, and then we'll come back and buy it when we've moved." Lin Wang pushed the shopping cart and slowly followed behind Tang Xiaomian.
"Hmm." Tang Xiaomian nodded, paused for half a second, and then hesitated, "But I shouldn't have any money left to buy these at that time." ”
"Don't worry about this, you still have the wages I owe you." Lin Wang smiled.
Naturally, he was referring to the fact that the other party helped him draw.
Seriously, the other party's due remuneration for game art has already exceeded the thousands of dollars owed to him.
Although he also wants to separate the other party from each other and count the property of the two people together, the relationship between the two is obviously not to that extent.
He wants to give the other party some money at the moment, and it is only fitting to use such a legitimate reason as "salary".
"You don't have a source of income now, and you still have to pay me a salary?" Tang Xiaomian was a little puzzled.
"You don't have to worry about this, I still have a lot of deposits in my bank card."
Lin Wang explained with a smile, "When I was in college, I would find part-time jobs on the Internet when I had nothing to do, help people write some scripts, make some small programs, and saved a lot of money in a scattered way, and I basically didn't use that money much, and I have kept it until now." ”
"But it costs more money to make a game after that, right?" As an otaku girl who loves to play games, Tang Xiaomian also knows some basic information about the game industry.
"That's after the first game was released, so I don't need to think about it for now." Lin Wang shrugged.
"Oh......" Tang Xiaomian replied and didn't speak again.
She took a few steps forward, looked up at the shelves around her, and after a short pause, suddenly turned around and asked, "Why do you want to make a game?" ”
"Huh?" Lin Wang was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then smiled, "Because I like it!" ”
"Like?"
"Hmm...... To be precise, I think I just want to make something that I like and that others will like. ”
"My favorite game ......" Tang Xiaomian raised his eyebrows lightly, recalled some of his experiences when playing games, and probably understood what the other party wanted to express.
"Anyway, I've never thought about the illusory thing of 'saving the domestic game market', and the domestic game market is not something that a single person or company can manipulate at will...... If you are poor, you will be alone, and if you are rich, you will help the world, but now I am just a poor person, so I will think about how to make my game more popular. Lin Wang spread his hands and said.
"However, it should be difficult to 'make your favorite game', right?" Tang Xiaomian frowned.
"It can't be helped, sometimes if you really like something, it's easy for people to have no hesitation."
Lin Wang looked at her, pursed his lips and smiled, "It's the same if you like someone." ”
"......" Tang Xiaomian turned his head away, ignoring him.
After listening to more ambiguous and sensual words, she has slowly become less shy.
After all, there are still a long days ahead, and if she can't adapt to it as soon as possible, she won't be bullied to death by the other party.
Silently moving forward for a moment, she gathered her thoughts, turned back and said "Come on".
- She hopes that the other party's "righteousness" can have a good result.
The two walked around the daily necessities section twice, bought a bear hand warmer, and then returned to the fresh food area to start looking for ingredients for today's dinner.
After buying vegetables, Lin Wang took Tang Xiaomian to pick out some casual snacks, preparing to eat snacks and watch movies with the other party after work at night.
said that it was to cultivate feelings, so it was natural to do something that a couple should do.
"Have you seen a movie about this world?" Lin Wang asked.
"I don't have time to look at it." Tang Xiaomian shook his head.
"Then we have a lot of options, and we'll have to study it when we go back later."
"I don't watch horror movies."
"What's the matter, do you think it's boring?" Lin Wang thought that the other party often had to fight monsters, and the horror scenes he had seen might indeed be much more terrifying than ordinary horror movies.
"Hmm...... I don't like it anyway. Tang Xiaomian pursed her lips tightly, trying to make a flat expression.
"Okay, then get rid of the horror movie...... Anyway, this is a niche type of movie, and excluding them, we will still have a lot of options. Lin Wang nodded, and his mind had already begun to recall some wonderful movies he had seen before.
By the time the two of them finished shopping and left the supermarket, an hour had passed.
The sky darkened completely, and neat streetlights illuminated the road ahead.
The two cups of milk tea had been wiped out as early as when the two of them went to the supermarket, Tang Xiaomian was empty-handed at this time, and Lin Wang was only carrying a small shopping bag.
"There are still so many people on the street." Lin Wang looked ahead and said casually.
"Hmm." Tang Xiaomian responded in a low voice.
"It's so dark, it's still easy to get lost." Lin Wang glanced down, then slowed down and quietly stretched out his palm towards the other party.
Once raw, twice ripe.
He felt that he was now fearless.
Tang Xiaomian tilted his head to look at him, "hummed" lightly in his heart, puffed out his cheeks, and raised his wrist slightly.
The two hands touched silently, and then they held each other again.
Warmth began to pass between each other's palms.
