Chen Ming smiled and said to her, "Thank you for your hard work, Miss Tang."
Tang Xinyi nodded, pointed at the food on the table, and said, "Eat quickly, or it will get cold if you leave it out any longer. Kyoto snacks are meant to be eaten hot."
In order to satisfy Chen Ming's wish to the greatest extent, she ran to four food streets and bought all of Kyoto's famous snacks. On her way back, she was stopped by the sentry because she did not have a pass.
He called his father who was playing chess with the dean, and only after the dean personally called the sentry post was he allowed to pass.
Otherwise, she would have to call Chen Ming and ask him to go out and squat on the roadside to eat.
Chen Ming looked at the food on the desk, which was full of affection, and his appetite was aroused. He saved the files on his computer and turned it off decisively.
I stuffed all the pens, paper documents and other things on the desk into the drawer, and almost threw the computer monitor down with it.
Together with Tang Xinyi, I opened all the food and placed it on the table one by one.
Because there were only two of them, she chose the smallest portions for many of the dishes.
But even though the portion is small, I can’t resist eating too much.
After laying out all the things, it almost took up the entire desk.
Various aromas filled the entire office.
Chen Ming and Tang Xinyi picked up their chopsticks and started to eat heartily around the table.
After eating for a while, Tang Xinyi felt full. After putting down her chopsticks, she sat on the chair and watched Chen Mingxuan eating with a smile, which was full of joy.
While Chen Ming "063" continued to eat with big mouthfuls.
Although I already felt full, I couldn't stop craving for this delicious snack.
After a quick sprint, all the snacks on the table fell into Chen Ming's mouth. He sat back in the chair comfortably and burped contentedly.
“Comfortable!”
Chen Ming rubbed his stomach and couldn't help but blurt out these two words.
After a pause, he looked at Tang Xinyi who was staring at him with a smile, and asked with a smile: "Have you bought the movie tickets?"
We finally got out of the military camp, and now that we have finally confirmed our relationship, we naturally have to watch a movie together, walk for a walk, etc. Otherwise, we will have to wait for a long time again after returning to the military camp.
If he missed this opportunity and hastily returned to the camp, he might be depressed for a while.
Tang Xinyi took out two movie tickets from her pocket, waved them in front of him, and said, "Love in a Puff, it's a new Hong Kong movie, do you want to go and see it?"
Chen Ming was stunned for a moment when he heard this familiar name.
If he remembered correctly, he had seen this movie in his previous life.
Looking at the money in Tang Xinyi's hand, Chen Ming smiled and said, "Since I've already bought it, there's no reason not to take a look."
Although I have seen it in my previous life, it doesn’t hurt to revisit it again.
Moreover, a movie will give different feelings when watched with different people.
After a pause, Chen Ming asked, "What time is the game?"
Tang Xinyi glanced at the time on the ticket and replied, "It's nine o'clock in the evening. There's still more than an hour left. There's no rush."
Chen Ming nodded, then looked at the mess on the table, smiled bitterly, and stood up to clean up.
The food was delicious, but cleaning the table was quite troublesome.
Seeing this, Tang Xinyi quickly put away the movie tickets and took the initiative to come forward to help.
Put away all the paper bags and fast food boxes containing food, and wipe the table carefully with paper towels.
After cleaning the entire desk, the two walked out of the office and left the institute.
I hailed a taxi near the institute and quickly rushed to the cinema.
Today is Sunday, a day of rest, and there are quite a few people outside the cinema.
In addition, "Love in a Puff" is a love movie that was promoted extensively in the early stages, so many couples came to watch it, making the scene suddenly lively.
All the couples were in pairs, cuddling with each other, looking like they were going to feed the single guys to death.
Among these people, some were energetic college students, who held each other's hands affectionately and talked and laughed along the way.
Some are relatively mature young people, looking into each other's eyes with affection flashing in their eyes.
As a first-tier city, the capital is where the dreams of many young people begin. Every graduation season, there are always many young people who, with their own dreams, throw themselves into the arms of this city.
Here, the proportion of young people is much higher than that in ordinary cities.
Chen Ming and Tang Xinyi arrived at the entrance of the cinema. After getting off the car, they looked at the young figure moving towards the door of the cinema, then smiled at each other, walked into the cinema shoulder to shoulder, and became one of the many young couples coming and going here.
When they went in, the movie hadn't started yet.
The two sat in the theater, looking at the movie synopsis and the list of leading actors on the ticket, and quietly discussing the plot.
Of course, Chen Ming did not give any spoilers, he just listened quietly to Tang Xinyi's wild guesses with great interest.
During this time, many couples walked in quietly holding hands. They ate popcorn, drank iced cola, and waited quietly.
After a while, the theater was almost full, the lights dimmed, the big screen slowly lit up, and the movie officially began.
Chen Ming didn't have much interest in this movie which he had already seen.
Tang Xinyi, on the other hand, quite liked it. She stared at the big screen with great interest. Her expression changed as the plot progressed, sometimes happy, sometimes sad.
Although in the military camp, she was a major with a frosty face who kept people at a distance.
But when she returned to this familiar city and took off the constraints of her military uniform, the girlish heart hidden in her heart would occasionally show up.
Chen Ming sat in his seat and quietly reached out and put his arm around Tang Xinyi's shoulders.
In an instant, her whole body stiffened and she glanced at Chen Ming nervously. Her usual arrogance was gone, leaving only nervousness.
Chen Ming turned his head to look at her, smiled quietly, and revealed a soothing and sunny smile.
Seeing this smile, Tang Xinyi's tension inexplicably dissipated and her stiff body relaxed.
Chen Ming put his arms around her shoulders and with a little force, he pulled her body towards him.
Her shoulders rested on Chen Ming's chest, and her head rested naturally on his shoulder.
At this moment, she seemed to feel an unprecedented sense of security.
Chen Ming rested his chin lightly on the top of her head, smelling the fragrance from her hair, and his heart was filled with peace.
The two of them just hugged each other quietly and watched the whole movie.
After the movie ended, Chen Ming and his companion left with the crowd.
It was nearly eleven o'clock in the evening, but the streets of the capital were still bustling.
Not far from the entrance of the cinema is a large bar.
Young people who have just finished watching a movie usually like to go into a bar, enjoy the music that shakes their eardrums, look at the dazzling colorful lights, sway their bodies on the dance floor, and then drink a full glass of drink that can make them forget their troubles for a short while.
Chen Ming held Tang Xinyi's hand and passed by the door of this bar.
At the door of the bar, glittering neon lights were competing to shine, illuminating the faces of the young people gathered at the door with all kinds of colors. They were laughing and playing under the lights, walking towards the lights, carefree.
Chen Ming and the other person walked around them and went elsewhere.
After walking aimlessly for a while, I came to a road with constant flow of traffic. There was also a commercial street opposite, with clear lights shining through in the night.
Tang Xinyi pointed to the other side of the street and said, "Let's go over there and take a look."
Chen Ming nodded and said, "Okay."
So I walked along the roadside following the dim street lights, looking for a passable sidewalk.
However, there are obviously no sidewalks here, instead there are overpasses not far apart.
The two of them stepped onto the overpass and were about to walk across the street.
On the overpass, there was a melodious singing voice. The street singer was holding a guitar and singing passionately. In the open guitar bag in front of his feet, there were a few small bills scattered around.
The magnetic and sad singing voice was blown far away by the wind on the overpass, as if he wanted his lover who was far away to hear it.
The pedestrians passing by on the bridge have different expressions. Some will walk past quickly and ignore it.
Some will deliberately slow down their pace and listen attentively.
Only one or two people who truly like this song will stop in front of it, close their eyes slightly, and listen with rapt attention.
When the song is over, the listeners will take out one or two small bills from their pockets and put them into the guitar bag.
The singers would also bow slightly to express their gratitude, and while bowing their heads, they would glance at the few coins in their guitar bags, calculating whether they would be enough to buy a bowl of hot ramen later.
If it is enough, his next singing will be much more lively. If it is not enough, he will sing more passionately in order to impress more people.
Originally, Chen Ming planned to bring Tang Xinyi with him to show his support. After all, he knew that these people's lives were hard.
But before they could get close, the singer picked up the guitar again and sang a sad and inappropriate song about happy breakup.
When Chen Ming heard the melodious singing, his face suddenly darkened and he glared at the young man.
Even though I gave you this opportunity, you can't make use of it!
Thinking of this, he put a small bill in his pocket with one hand, and with the other hand pulled Tang Xinyi, who was covering her mouth and laughing, and walked away quickly.
Cross the overpass and come to the more lively street on the opposite side, where the street lights are dim and there is a lot of traffic.
There are shops lining both sides of the street, including local taverns that cater to the general public and offer cheap dishes; there are also various hot pot restaurants that are brightly lit and lively; and the capital's number one delicacy, Kyoto Roast Duck, is also served here.
