Chapter 55: Bottom of the Pond
The next day, morning.
Because it was the weekend, Xu Cheng slept in.
“Hmm…Hmm…Hmm…?”
In his sleep, Xu Cheng felt like he was suffocating. His nose seemed to be pinched and he couldn't breathe at all. He sat up suddenly and gasped for breath.
"Hehe." Lin Wanzhou sat beside his bed with a wicked smile.
Xu Cheng looked at her angrily, "Lin Wanzhou, you want to murder your husband again, right?"
"Pah, pah, pah, who are you talking to?... You have no shame..."
"Hey, you're a grown girl now, and you just casually walked into a boy's bedroom. And I'm not wearing any clothes. You should be ashamed."
"I...what's wrong with me..." Lin Wanzhou pouted, "Humph, what's wrong with me entering my childhood sweetheart's room...do you have any objection?"
"Can I come into your room anytime from now on ?"
"You!" Lin Wanzhou's face turned red. "Tsk, come in if you want... I don't care..."
"real?"
Xu Cheng was tempted, but then he thought about the emoticon package of three lolita girls fishing and a group of FBL ganking at the door.
Forget it...
He lifted the quilt to reveal his upper body and put on his T-shirt. Lin Wanzhou shyly turned her head away, but her little eyes kept glancing around.
In the past two years, Xu Cheng has never stopped exercising. Although he has not become a muscle maniac, his physical parameters are definitely among the best among boys of the same age. For example, abilities such as speed and jumping, once applied to sports such as basketball and football, coupled with his familiarity with these sports in his previous life, he is definitely a sports god.
"What are you doing here so early? Today is the weekend, why don't you sleep a little longer?"
"I... I heard there's a new movie coming out, and I wanted to ask you to go watch it together..."
"New movies? Are there any new movies recently... Spider-Man 2? Or Prisoner of Azkaban..."
"Hmm, let me think... I think it's called something like... Oh, Cowherd's Spring! They said it's very beautiful and touching."
"Cowherd's Spring..." Xu Cheng frowned. He had never heard of it...
And Cowherd... Spring... This movie name is really tempting...
"Is there a movie called this... Are you sure it's a serious movie?"
Xu Cheng remembered that Hong Kong produced a lot of short films, such as the Ping Mei trilogy, Kampung Boom Boom, To the West... and a bunch of old Shaw Brothers films. In short, they were not serious and not suitable for children to watch.
If Lin Wanzhou was talking about this kind of movie, the two kids would have been embarrassed to death in the cinema.
"What do you mean by serious or not?" Lin Wanzhou put his finger to his mouth and thought for a while, "I seem to remember hearing someone say that it's a musical movie..."
"Musical movie..." Xu Cheng's eyes lit up, "Uh... Could it be called The Chorus?"
Lin Wanzhou nodded her head, "Yes, yes, yes, have you seen The Chorus?"
"Look... Of course I haven't seen it. Is it the first time it's released? I thought it was an old movie, but it was released this year..."
After washing up, the two children took the bus to the cinema.
Xu Cheng waited in line for a long time in front of the ticket booth before he bought a ticket. Lin Wanzhou sat on a chair and waited for him obediently.
"Let's go, you can enter now."
Lin Wanzhou looked eagerly at the young couple passing by with popcorn in their arms, "I want to eat popcorn and drink Coke, too."
"Popcorn..." Xu Cheng thought for a moment, "Then I'll just buy a big bucket. I happen to want to eat some, too."
"Eh? Why not buy two small buckets?"
"The big barrels are cheaper, and the quantities are about the same." Xu Cheng answered without blushing.
The theater was dark and unclear, with only a faint fluorescent light. Xu Cheng turned around and asked Lin Wanzhou, "Do you want me to hold you?"
"Ah?" Lin Wanzhou blushed slightly, "No, no need."
"Oh, then you take care of it yourself."
The two of them slowly groped their way to the back seats. Looking around, they saw that most of the seats were couples, and there were very few children like them.
Lin Wanzhou sat in his seat, holding a large bucket of popcorn, with his legs raised and his body swaying back and forth excitedly.
"Xu Cheng, we haven't watched a movie together for a long time."
"Has it been a long time? Didn't Yu Yu and I just watch it a few months ago?"
"Oh, that's three people, I mean the two of should come and see..."
The movie started soon. Lin Wanzhou held a big bucket of popcorn in her arms and watched the movie very attentively. Xu Cheng would reach into the bucket to get popcorn from time to time, and occasionally by chance, his hand would touch Lin Wanzhou's.
It's icy cool, delicate and smooth, with a slight tingling sensation.
Lin Wanzhou's hands were like little rabbits. Every time they were touched, they would move slightly and hide aside.
Xu Cheng secretly observed Lin Wanzhou's expression, afraid that he had really made her angry, but Lin Wanzhou seemed to be just concentrating on watching the movie and didn't pay much attention.
After a while, Xu Cheng picked up the Coke cup, secretly opened the lid, poured out a little Coke and sprinkled it on his hands.
"oops……"
He spread his legs and murmured in a low voice in mock annoyance.
"What's wrong?" Lin Wanzhou looked at him curiously when he heard the noise.
"Coke spilled on my hands..."
"Xu Cheng is so stupid! Go to the bathroom and wash your hands quickly, or they will become sticky."
"Forget it. I'm afraid I'll miss the plot. I'll go wash it after I finish watching it."
"Xu Cheng is such a slob!" She took out a small handkerchief from her pocket and said, "Here, use this to wipe it first."
Xu Cheng took it. The handkerchief was still a little warm and smelled of fresh milk, exactly the same as the smell on Lin Wanzhou.
The movie was still going on, and Lin Wanzhou suddenly realized that Xu Cheng was staring at him.
"What's wrong?"
Xu Cheng laughed, "Look, my hands are not convenient right now, but I really want to eat popcorn..."
“Really…” Lin Wanzhou pouted, “Then eat it. I won’t dislike you.”
"That's not good. Now my hands are sticky and full of bacteria and stuff... How unhygienic."
Lin Wanzhou has a slight obsession with cleanliness. She thought about it and realized that this is indeed the case...
"What should we do then?"
"How about..." Xu Cheng pointed to his mouth, "Ah——"
"Huh?"
Lin Wanzhou reacted and suddenly felt like he was being tricked.
"Hurry up, I can't believe I didn't even get to eat the popcorn I bought myself, that would be too pitiful."
"Hmm..." Lin Wanzhou thought about it and felt that this seemed a bit too much.
She stretched out her fingers, picked up a piece of popcorn and handed it to Xu Cheng's mouth, "Here you go."
Xu Cheng chewed and chewed again, "One more..."
Realizing that the action was a bit intimate, Lin Wanzhou's face became a little hot, "Really, you are so troublesome, here..."
After another billion, the movie ends.
The two children mixed in with a group of adults and walked out of the theater. Lin Wanzhou's eyes were already red from crying.
"Wow, this teacher's story is so touching."
"Yeah, I'm very touched."
Xu Cheng echoed from the side.
What's the protagonist's name?
Lin Wanzhou on the side suddenly spoke.
"Xu Cheng, I thought of doing something for Teacher Zhu..."
