Chapter 5 You Will Love Me two
Xu Yun chose a feature film called "Hypnotist". The cinema was packed, but unfortunately the story told in the film was very ordinary. It was neither tear-jerking nor suspenseful enough to keep people stunned.
But at the very end, when the film was about to end and the song "You Must Love Me" sung by Karen Mok sounded, I suddenly felt so sad that I burst into tears.
“Deep in my heart I’m concealing , things that I’m longing to say, scared to confess what I’m feeling, frightened you’ll slip away, you must love me, you must love me…”
The movie ended, the lights turned on, the crowd dispersed, and I sat in my seat motionless, tears streaming down my face. Just because of that sentence "you must love me", just because of that sentence in the half of the diary that I would recite over and over again every night when I was awakened by a nightmare -
"Just like fish cannot live without water, just like the blue sky is always accompanied by white clouds, you will definitely fall in love with me, just as I have always loved you."
I know, Hexue, I know that "you" is Xu Yun, and that "I" is Song Hexue. And I will fulfill that wish for you.
Yes, Xu Yun will definitely fall in love with Song Hexue.
Xu Yun was probably frightened by my sudden tears. She stood beside me at a loss and silently handed me tissues one by one.
When I wiped my tears and looked up, I found that the employee in charge of clearing the theater was looking at us with suspicion.
My face suddenly became hot and I immediately explained, "The movie is so touching."
"Yeah, even I'm about to cry." Xu Yun agreed with me, but I clearly saw a smile in his eyes. He was just being considerate and didn't expose me.
I pulled Xu Yun away from the cinema staff in embarrassment. After taking two steps, I heard the staff muttered in a low voice: "Your tear point is too low. Can you cry like this for a movie like this?"
I turned my head to glare at the young employee, and caught a glimpse of Xu Yun's face from the corner of my eye. It seemed as if the smile in his eyes could no longer be hidden, and it slowly spread from the corners of his eyes to the corners of his mouth, and finally he couldn't help but chuckle.
I suddenly felt angry as if I had been exposed, and I asked stubbornly, "Isn't it touching ?"
"Touching." He answered seriously, but he couldn't hide his smile, "It's so touching."
I was a little angry, but I thought I shouldn't dwell on this boring topic. Besides, he wouldn't understand why I lost my composure like this, and I couldn't let him know the reason, so I quickly changed the subject: "Are you hungry? Can I treat you to a meal? I know there's a delicious barbecue restaurant on the basement floor of this mall. Let's go, I'm really starving."
I didn't give him any chance to refute, I held his sleeve and walked downstairs.
When I was walking through the men's clothing , I suddenly remembered that I still owed Hua Ziyin a shirt. I never like to owe anyone anything, especially when the other person is Hua Ziyin.
I let go of Xu Yun and went straight to the men's clothing department, intending to quickly pick out a men's shirt and then go enjoy a delicious barbecue with Xu Yun.
However, I looked all the way but couldn't find any W brand counter, and I didn't see similar navy blue cotton and linen long-sleeved shirts even in other counters.
Just when I was about to give up the search, the look on Hua Ziyin's face as he described the details of the shirt to me with a haughty look on his face came to my mind. He tilted his head and said indifferently, "Navy blue, cotton and linen, brand W, size L." It was as if his shirt was a rare treasure that was unique in the world.
"It's just a shirt." I muttered disdainfully, not wanting to bow down to Hua Ziyin just because of a shirt. It's my nature to refuse to admit defeat. I searched eagerly on the third floor of the mall and finally found the W brand counter at the corner.
"Navy blue, cotton and linen, size L, long-sleeved shirt, please give me one." I told the counter clerk my request in one breath.
"Navy blue, cotton and linen, size L long-sleeved shirt?" The counter clerk patiently confirmed with me with a professional smile.
I nodded rapidly, feeling proud in my heart. It was just buying a shirt, not that difficult.
However, my pride didn't last for more than a second, because the counter attendant's words poured down on me like a bucket of cold water. She said, "I'm sorry, there are only four sizes of navy blue cotton and linen long-sleeved shirts in this city, S, M, L, and XL, and they are all sold out."
"Ah?" I stood in front of the counter, feeling very upset. "How could this happen?"
The teller shook his head helplessly at me: "I'm sorry, miss. The navy blue cotton and linen long-sleeved shirt has always been a limited edition of our brand. I can only say that you have a good taste, but..."
I stared at the teller's moving lips, and suddenly I felt a little dazed, as if I had encountered this situation before.
"A navy blue cotton and linen long-sleeved shirt... You have good taste..."
Why does this sentence sound so familiar? Where have you heard it before?
I stood there in a daze, trying hard to think but having no clue, yet I felt that this scene was so familiar as if it was repeating itself yesterday.
"What's wrong?" A gentle male voice interrupted my thoughts. I turned around and saw Xu Yun walking into the counter slowly with her hands in her pockets.
Damn, how could I have completely forgotten Xu Yun just for a shirt? I stroked my forehead, not knowing how to explain my behavior just now.
Xu Yun asked herself, "Want to buy a men's shirt? W brand, navy blue, cotton and linen?"
I nodded and looked at him in surprise: "How did you know?"
"Because..." He lowered his eyes, dragged out the words, and smiled mysteriously, "Because I heard everything just now, stupid!"
"Oh." I lowered my head in annoyance, "It's a pity that they are all sold out."
"Are you going to buy it for me?" Xu Yun said to herself, "Have you even asked about my favorite brand, color, and texture?"
Xu Yun lowered his head, his fine hair covering his eyes. I couldn't see his expression clearly, nor could I tell whether his tone was happy or angry.
This is such an unexpected coincidence. I'm afraid he will misunderstand that I am deliberately trying to please him. Even more seriously, will he suspect that my motives for approaching him in the first place were impure?
"You also wear shirts of this brand?" I said calmly, hoping he would notice the word "also" in my words.
As expected, he noticed it, raised his head and smiled at me, "Really? So you didn't buy it for me." He said, revealing a look of disappointment that he couldn't hide. Before I could answer, he added, "Since you want to buy that shirt so much, why don't I give it to you."
"Ah?" I didn't understand what he meant. The clerk at the counter just said that they were all sold out. How could he give it to me?
"You're lucky—" He looked at me and smiled, "I bought one half a month ago, but it's not size L, it's size XL, do you want it?"
My brain was working rapidly, and I quickly weighed the pros and cons. Rather than owing Hua Ziyiyan a favor, I would rather owe Xu Yun a favor.
"Yes!" I nodded generously, "Of course, I owe you a favor anyway. I owe it to others rather than you."
He seemed very happy to hear what I said and laughed out loud: "So now can we go eat the 'super delicious' barbecue?"
Only then did I remember the original intention of going downstairs, and I walked in front of him very embarrassedly to lead the way.
