Chapter 117

The night was dark. It was already ten past eight when Li Wenyu took a taxi to the mall. From a distance, he saw Pei Xin sitting alone in the lobby of the cinema, with bought milk tea and popcorn in front of the table.

One cup of milk tea was iced and the other was cold. Water droplets appeared on the walls of one cup, and the other cup had lost its temperature.

Li Wenyu ran up the escalator and calmed his breathing before walking quickly in with his coat in hand.

Pei Xin was still wearing a black suit. He sat there with his legs crossed as if he were sitting in the president's office. His posture was lazy and casual, but he had an aura of keeping strangers away. He was absent-minded and sleepy, not like he was working seriously. The CEO is like a young master.

He finally regained his composure when he saw Li Wenyu coming in from the gate with a tired expression, rubbed his eyes and stood up: "You're here."

Li Wenyu paused for a moment, took a deep breath before walking over: "Well, I I accidentally forgot the time while working overtime."

Pei Xin smiled nonchalantly and said, "It's okay. I thought something happened to you. You scared me. Are you still watching the movie?"

There was no one in the hall. , Li Wenyu glanced at the rehearsal screen at the front desk, pursed his lower lip: "The time has passed, we have to wait another hour and a half for the next show."

Pei Xin simply stretched out his hand and led him to the front desk: "We Watch other movies."

Two salesmen stood at the front desk. Probably because the theater business was not very good, they still remembered the tickets that Pei Xin had collected before, and reminded him that the ticket check-in time had passed.

Li Wenyu smiled politely: "It doesn't matter, let's change it. Are there any other movies?"

"Currently there is only one re-release of an old movie, "Full Moon Time", which will open in ten minutes. Is that okay?"

Li Wenyu probably After asking, it was a Hong Kong movie. He turned to Pei Xin and asked: "How about watching this, okay?"

Pei Xin squeezed his hand: "Okay."

The temperature in the theater was low, and there were no people in the back row. There were two or three people sitting scattered around, the light was dim, and there was almost silence except for the sound of the advertising screen before the movie started. Li Wenyu and Pei Xin sat in the third row from the bottom in the closed space, and popcorn was placed between them, floating out. A touch of creamy aroma.

Pei Xin has never been to a movie theater before. He doesn't like watching movies. Even if he occasionally wants to watch, he will use the screening room in the office or villa. But he also wants to try and be quiet with Li Wenyu like the couples here. After watching a commercial movie even though it has no nutrition.

After the movie started, the light became darker, a tone unique to Hong Kong movies of the period. Li Wenyu grabbed two popcorns, chewed them silently, and stared at the screen with fluorescent eyes, obviously intending to recognize it. Seriously watch the movie.

Pei Xin looked at him sideways and couldn't help but think about how seriously he used to read texts to students when teaching.

Li Wenyu didn't squint, but he could feel the burning gaze on the side of his face. He lowered his voice and spoke unnaturally: "Watch the movie carefully and don't look at me."

"I know." Pei Xinying With a groan, he raised his hand from the edge of the seat and put it on the back of his hand.

This is a rare literary romance film among ancient Hong Kong films, with first-class lighting and shadows. The protagonist, Lang, a talented woman, who was still a young movie star at that time, knew each other since they were young, but they were separated due to their studies, family and illness. An atmosphere of sadness, pain and despair.

Li Wenyu looked at it intently for a while, and he could probably tell that this was not the type of thing Pei Xin liked to see. He turned to look at Pei Xin's face, and sure enough he saw him holding his head up and half-lidded eyes drowsily.

He smiled silently and squeezed his palm. Pei Xin cheered up

and sat up straight like a powered robot, but he heard Li Wenyu patting his shoulder and whispering: "If you are sleepy, you can sleep on my shoulder." Pei Xin nodded lazily and said nothing.

He rested his head half on his shoulder without hesitation, and said casually: "Then I'm going to sleep, Brother Yu."

He said this, but did not close his eyes immediately. From such a narrow distance, Li Wenyu looked like a black man. Thick feather-like eyelashes and a smooth nose tip, in the dim and flickering light and shadow, look like a scene that only appears in a chaotic and addictive dream.

After about ten minutes, Li Wenyu felt his shoulders sink. He still looked directly at the screen and quietly curled the corners of his lips.

In the second half of the movie, the situation took a turn for the worse. The male protagonist fell into an anxiety breakdown because of his terminal illness. He had a quarrel with his lover and smashed things on the floor in the small and simple rental house where the two lived.

This was originally the moment when the audience was most engrossed and heart-wrenching, and should even shed tears. However, with a "bang" the desk lamp fell to the ground, and the sound of glass fragments splashing echoed in the auditorium, making people tremble. Pei Xin suddenly opened his eyes. eyes.

Li Wenyu felt the shaking and lowered his head to look, and his lips hit the bridge of his nose.

The sound of the picture surrounded the movie theater, and the quarrels continued. The faces of a pair of lovers were twisted, as if they wanted to smash the whole world into pieces to die with their love.

Li Wenyu's eyes were calm. He stepped back slightly and heard his silent and trembling heartbeat after withdrawing from the close distance.

Pei Xin seemed to be very sensitive to such sounds. He had just woken up but his expression was clear. His eyes stared at him unblinkingly, bright and pure, as if they were slowly pulling some kind of slow but strong signal.

The two people's hands were still holding each other, and they were sweating even in the low temperature of the movie theater. Li Wenyu lowered his face slightly, and could touch the lines on Pei Xinxin's heart and his breathing that was not even enough.

The light and shadow on the screen changed, flickering on and off. He looked at Pei Xin steadily, but did not avoid his face as he approached slowly and awkwardly.

The moment their lips touched each other, Li Wenyu closed his eyes. His eyelashes trembled and did not open again. He felt the warm, moist and cautious kiss.

Pei Xin intertwined the fingers of their clasped hands so hard that they were almost tight, but restrained his lips and teeth, inducing Li Wenyu's instinct to let him dominate the kiss.

Li Wenyu almost lost all his breath in this lingering and clumsy kiss, while Pei Xin accepted all his clumsiness until he felt hypoxic and dizzy, and Pei Xin finally let go of his arms around his waist. .

Towards the end of the movie, the light projected from the screen gradually became clearer. The male protagonist was cured of the terminal illness that had almost been sentenced to death by doctors, and regained his sight. When he reunited with his lover, he recalled the scene when they first met when they were young.

The moment the light in the picture completely dimmed, the ending song played and the lights in the theater came back on.

The soft and soothing melody of the song flows like an endless river, echoing gently and slowly in the closed space.

A few people in the theater stood up and left. Li Wenyu raised his eyes to look at the screen. The sliding subtitles matched the clasped hands of the male and female protagonists in their youth. He saw that the name of the song was "One Minute Friends".

"Let's go, Brother Yu."

Li Wenyu came to his senses and said, "Okay."

Pei Xin led him up and walked out. They had been enemies who tormented each other for a long time. They also briefly listened to each other's voices when they were teenagers, and were friends for a minute. Later, they finally became a pair of ordinary, long-lasting lovers.
