Chapter 33 Confession
Zhang Yiru arrived at the place they had agreed on, which was a cinema in a shopping mall. Their date today started with watching a movie.
I didn't expect Gu Junhao to ask me out to see a movie. In the past, our dates consisted of reading or eating. After dinner, Gu Junhao would say it was too late and wanted to take me home.
The movie he watched was the recently released "The Four", a martial arts action-suspense movie. Liu Ruihuan couldn't help but complain about it, saying that how could he ask a girl to watch such a movie? He was such a straight guy.
"Forget it, let's just be a martial artist. It's better than just eating. Just think of it as a dream that all boys have to be martial artists."
Gu Junhao had arrived early and bought movie tickets, snacks and drinks. When he saw Zhang Yiru, he came forward to greet her.
"Come on, go sit over there for a while. The movie won't start for a while." Looking at Zhang Yiru, Gu Junhao said with a smile.
The weather in December means Ningbo has officially entered winter, and the weather is getting colder day by day. Today, Zhang Yiru, as always, has her long hair draped over her shoulders, a light grey spotted jacket, a white lined wool sweater, and tight jeans, which perfectly outlines her figure.
"Why did you think of treating me to a movie?" Zhang Yiru said as she took the hot drink handed to her by Gu Junhao.
"This is to thank you. You have been tutoring me for my exams recently. I took the test yesterday and felt pretty good. You contributed to this too." Gu Junhao said, looking at Zhang Yiru's fair face.
After a pause: "Also, today is your birthday, happy birthday to you."
"Thank you. The exam was your own achievement. I didn't help you much. I think you have a chance of passing it."
"It should be about the same. Never mind all that. Just wait for the results."
"That's good, but you also know that today is my birthday. I see that you have nothing in your hands. Didn't you prepare any gift for me? It's all in vain that I helped you so much." Seeing that there was nothing else on the table except popcorn and drinks, Zhang Yiru couldn't help but said half-truthfully.
Every girl hopes that her loved one cares about her and gives her some small gifts on some important holidays. It doesn’t have to be expensive, as long as she can feel the other person’s intentions.
The same is true for Zhang Yiru.
"Of course I have a gift. It's in my pocket. I'll keep it a little mysterious for now and give it to you during dinner. Let's go in." Gu Junhao said with a smile.
"Really? Haha, I said that classmate Gu wouldn't be so unromantic. When we were in school, you occasionally gave me a notebook. How come you didn't give me a gift when you knew it was my birthday? But what is it? Can you tell me now?"
Hearing that Gu Junhao had prepared a gift for her, Zhang Yiru couldn't help but jump for joy and spoke rapidly.
"Come in and watch the movie first. I'll give it to you later. It's about to start."
"Okay, I'm looking forward to it."
After the two entered the venue and found their seats, Gu Junhao looked around. Although it was a noon session, there were still quite a few people because it was the weekend.
This cinema opened at the beginning of this year and is extremely popular. In addition, the current film market is also at its peak, far from the miserable scene in the film industry after the black swan event at the end of 2019.
"How did you buy this movie?" After sitting down, Zhang Yiru couldn't help but wonder why Gu Junhao chose to watch The Four.
"Hmm? There weren't many good movies to watch at this time, and this one was the most famous, and it had handsome men and beautiful women, so I chose it."
"I thought you liked to watch action movies, but it turns out you wanted to watch beauties. And there is the most popular fairy sister among the boys."
"This is not the first time you watch a movie with a girl. I don't have much experience. You can choose next time." Gu Junhao also heard that Zhang Yiru was not very interested in this movie, but there really haven't been any good movies recently. He had seen this movie in his previous life. It wasn't that good, but it wasn't a bad movie either.
As for what she said about watching Fairy Sister, it is also a reason. Since there is nothing she likes to watch, just choose one that is watchable.
"It's okay, I can watch anything, the key is who I watch it with." Zhang Yiru couldn't help laughing when she saw Gu Junhao's somewhat awkward explanation.
"How do you understand this?"
"This idiot, do you really need me to explain it so clearly?" Zhang Yiru complained inwardly, but still couldn't help but say, "It means that you can watch anything with the person you like."
Uh, Gu Junhao didn't know how to respond to this, even though he also wanted to confess today. He touched his nose and said, "Well, you are right. It is a happy thing to do what you like with the person you like."
Seeing Gu Junhao's expression, Zhang Yiru couldn't help but chuckle, but the movie had already started, so the two of them didn't continue talking, which also avoided Gu Junhao's embarrassment.
Two hours later, the movie was over and it was time for lunch. After walking out of the cinema, Gu Junhao said to Zhang Yiru, "Let's go eat. I've booked a private room."
"Okay." Zhang Yiru was stunned. She didn't expect Gu Junhao to be so thoughtful and considerate today and even booked a private room. Her heart couldn't help but beat wildly.
After leaving the mall, a gust of cold wind made the two of them feel the chill of winter instantly, and Zhang Yiru also woke up.
After walking for about five minutes, the two arrived at a Chinese-style restaurant. Gu Junhao said a few words to the receptionist at the door, and the two were welcomed into a small private room.
The waiter served them some tea, and after they ordered their meals, he quietly closed the door of the private room and left.
After the waiter left, before Zhang Yiru could speak, Gu Junhao took out a small gift box from his pocket and handed it to Zhang Yiru: "This is your birthday present. I hope you like it."
"Wow, you really didn't lie to me. What is it? Can I open it and take a look?" Zhang Yiru said excitedly.
"sure."
Zhang Yiru carefully opened the rectangular gift box, and when she saw the gift, she was stunned.
Gu Junhao's gift was quite innovative. It was a finely crafted comb that was simple yet elegant. His name was engraved on it, and it looked like it was carefully and accurately made.
But the meaning of giving him a comb as a gift was somewhat special, and she didn’t know whether he knew it or not. Thinking of this, Zhang Yiru blushed.
"What's wrong? Don't you like it?" Seeing Zhang Yiru staring at the comb without saying anything, Gu Junhao couldn't help but ask.
"Ah? I like it very much, but why did you give me a comb? Do you know what it means to give a girl a comb?"
"Keeping one's hair together is a sign of courtesy."
Gu Junhao looked at Zhang Yiru's bright eyes and said with a smile, "I wonder if Ms. Zhang Yiru is willing to accept my gift and become my girlfriend?"
