It still felt a bit strange that the two of them were going home together, but Qi Weichen acted very calmly. Chu Qing was too embarrassed to show her awkwardness, so she could only pretend to be calm. As a result, she gradually became less nervous.
The two of them entered the house together. Chu Qing was about to go back to the bedroom, but Qi Weichen reached out and held her back: "Don't be in a hurry."
“…Is there anything else?” Chu Qing swallowed and looked at him nervously.
Qi Weichen's eyes moved slightly, and after a while he said, "Aren't you going on a date?"
"Now?" Chu Qing was surprised.
Qi Weichen pursed his lips: "Are you busy now?"
"Ah... not really. I just didn't expect to go on a date right after returning home. It's not even noon yet." Chu Qing glanced at the time and said in a low voice.
Qi Weichen was silent for a moment: "Isn't it always this time before?"
"You really want to take me to Xinhua Bookstore," Chu Qing immediately stepped back cautiously after hearing that. "Don't even think about it. I want to eat, watch a movie, and go shopping. I don't want Xinhua Bookstore."
Qi Weichen's eyes slowed down: "Besides these, is there anything else you want to do?"
Chu Qing hesitated: "It seems that there is no more."
Qi Weichen pondered for a moment and said, "It won't take more than three hours to finish these things, so let's wait until tonight."
"It's settled. I went to bed very late yesterday. I'm going to take a nap now, have takeout for lunch, and go out on a date in the evening." Chu Qing's eyes lit up and she made the decision immediately.
Qi Weichen responded, and she started laughing. As soon as she laughed, she felt that she was not reserved enough, so she quickly closed her mouth and cleared her throat: "If there is nothing else, I will really go into the house."
"Go ahead."
Chu Qing couldn't hold it back and smiled again. Qi Weichen leaned over and kissed her on the forehead. She was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned around and ran into the house.
During the half year that the two were in love, although they sat in the same class every day and often met during holidays, the serious "academic" atmosphere could hardly be described as dating, so strictly speaking, this was their first real date.
Chu Qing rolled around in bed for a few times and found that she was not sleepy at all. She sighed, opened her phone, chatted with Qi Muyang for a while, and then started playing games, spending the whole morning. After lunch, she started thinking about her date in the evening.
She was not sleepy at all, but also did not want to play with her phone. After walking around the house, she ran to the closet to look for clothes. It took her a long time to pick out a knitted skirt, which she matched with the coat she had just bought some time ago. The light-colored combination made her look very warm. She also let her hair down, which she usually tied up, adding a touch of gentleness.
Would it be too grand
Chu Qing was a little hesitant, afraid that if she took this date too seriously, Qi Weichen would laugh at her... Although she had never been laughed at before, it didn't stop her from thinking so.
… But this outfit was really nice, and she was conflicted again. When she was about to go out, she gritted her teeth and put on the new clothes. After walking out of the room, she looked at Qi Weichen fearlessly. When she was about to pretend to change her clothes casually, she was stunned when she saw what he was wearing.
After a while, she asked, "Where did you get the suit?"
"I bought it some time ago," Qi Weichen's ears turned red, "I usually prepare a set so I can change into it when I encounter formal occasions."
Chu Qing's mouth twitched: "Do you think today is an important occasion?"
After she asked him this, Qi Weichen was silent for a moment: "Isn't it pretty?"
"… It's not that it doesn't look good, it's just that it's not appropriate," Chu Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "We're just going to have a meal and watch a movie, there's no need to be so exaggerated."
Qi Weichen was born with superior conditions, broad shoulders and narrow waist, and he was born to wear clothes. Now that he was wearing a well-tailored suit, he looked more elite. Even a blind man could not say that he was not good-looking... It was just that this outfit was indeed too formal for them to wear on their date.
Qi Weichen's calm face rarely showed a trace of embarrassment when he heard this. Chu Qing, who wanted to laugh, coughed and comforted him: "I actually spent a long time in the room choosing clothes before I chose this one. Do you have any clothes in the same color as mine? Let's wear couple outfits today."
"Couple outfits?" Qi Weichen's ears twitched.
Chu Qing nodded quickly, her face slightly warmed under his gaze: "Yeah, couple outfits."
"I'll go look for it." Qi Weichen said, then turned and went back to his room.
Chu Qing exhaled lightly, looked at the sweat on her palms, and couldn't help but laugh. Seeing that Qi Weichen took this date more seriously than she did, she was so happy that she almost died.
Qi Weichen quickly changed into a set of clothes, also in warm colors, and looked very well matched with Chu Qing. Chu Qing looked at him from head to toe with appreciation and said with a smile, "It looks good."
"You are beautiful too." Qi Weichen's ears turned red and he calmly stretched out his hand to her.
Chu Qing wiped the sweat off her palms and handed her hand over. Qi Weichen calmly held it. The two went directly to the restaurant Qi Weichen had booked. When they were eating, they remembered that they hadn't chosen a movie yet, so Chu Qing moved closer to Qi Weichen and looked through her phone: "What do you want to watch?"
"Horror movie." Qi Weichen said lightly.
Chu Qing paused: "Aren't you afraid?"
"No," Qi Weichen replied, then paused and asked, "Are you afraid?"
"I'm scared." Chu Qing usually likes horror movies, but she didn't want to see some bloody scenes to ruin the atmosphere on a date, so she lied.
I thought Qi Weichen would go with the flow and say to change the subject, but he was silent for a moment, then nodded firmly: "Then let's go with a horror movie."
Chu Qing: “?”
"Yeah." Qi Weichen turned his eyes away silently. The dating guide said that horror movies are the best tool to enhance relationships, and the more scared a girl is, the better the effect.
Although she didn't know why he wanted to go against her, it was just a movie, so Chu Qing wouldn't bother with him, so the two of them finally chose a horror movie.
After dinner, they went to the cinema. When Qi Weichen picked up the ticket, Chu Qing bought popcorn and Coke. Qi Weichen saw this and frowned slightly: "You should drink hot drinks."
"The central air conditioning is on, so it's not cold." Chu Qing explained.
Qi Weichen disagreed: "It's not a matter of hot or cold."
Chu Qing paused for a moment, and suddenly remembered that her period was coming soon, so she hurriedly stopped him: "Stop it, you crow-mouthed one. Last time it was because you came a few days early, don't say that to me this time."
"Remember to buy some necessary things on the way back." Qi Weichen reminded calmly.
Chu Qing glanced at him and said, "You don't have to tell me. Since the last experience, I have prepared a year's supply. I have them in the dormitory and at home. It will definitely be enough."
Qi Weichen stopped talking about her, and when the time came, they entered the theater together. It was Saturday, and there were many people sitting in the theater, half of them were young couples. Not long after the two found their seats and sat down, the lights went out, and the entire theater fell into darkness, and then advertisements began to play on the big screen.
After more than 20 years of exploration and reform, the big screen has reached its peak in terms of resolution and 3D effects. Even if it is just a simple advertisement, the visual effect is comparable to that of a blockbuster movie, and there is no need to wear glasses like they did back then.
"The screen in 2042 is so awesome. I saw that the outside is almost the same as ours, but I didn't expect it to be so awesome inside." Chu Qing was a little excited.
Qi Weichen responded, not paying attention to what was on the screen, but staring at the young couple in the front row. Judging from their appearance, it should be their first date, and their embarrassment was almost overflowing, even more unnatural than him and Chu Qing.
The advertisement ended and the movie officially began. Chu Qing, who originally didn't want to ruin the atmosphere, was now completely immersed in the horror movie and didn't even care about Qi Weichen next to her.
Qi Weichen was also looking at the big screen at first, but gradually his attention shifted to Chu Qing next to him. From the corner of his eye he saw her staring intently at the front, eating popcorn, lazily leaning on a chair, looking very comfortable.
The problem was, she was leaning to the other side, not in his direction, so the two of them looked a little far apart.
The couple in the front row had already started feeding each other popcorn. They were a little shy at first, but after getting used to it, they became much closer. Qi Weichen was silent for a moment, then reached out for the popcorn.
Chu Qing directly gave him the bucket and lowered her voice and said, "I just ate a lot, you can eat these, I can't eat a single bite."
Qi Weichen paused, silently took the popcorn, and began to eat it expressionlessly. It tasted buttery and was so sweet that he only ate a few and then stopped. The young couple in the front row seemed to be tired of eating too, and began to feed each other with drinks, sharing a straw, which looked very sweet.
He was silent for a moment, picked up the Coke at hand, and before he handed it over, Chu Qing picked up hers and gulped down several gulps. Qi Weichen pursed his lips and asked in a low voice: "Do you want to drink mine?"
"No, I just finished drinking, I'm not thirsty." Chu Qing stared at the screen without blinking as he spoke.
Qi Weichen asked, "Is yours delicious?"
"We both have the same drink, Coke," Chu Qing said casually, "It's a set meal with popcorn, so I just bought it. If you really don't like it, you can go out and buy something else. I was negligent."
Qi Weichen lowered his eyes and said, "It's okay, I'm not thirsty." After saying that, he sat up straighter and said no more.
But after ten minutes, he turned his head and said, "Let me have a taste of yours."
"I've already said that ours are the same." Chu Qing finally regained her attention and looked at him strangely.
Qi Weichen was silent for a moment: "My taste is a bit strange, I want to taste yours."
"... This kind of cola is poured from a big machine, so the taste should be the same." Chu Qing was speechless.
Qi Weichen stopped talking, and Chu Qing had no choice but to give him hers: "Try it."
Qi Weichen achieved his goal and his shoulders relaxed a little. He stared closely at Chu Qing's expression as he took the drink.
It was not as sweet and shy as he had imagined.
He drank for a long time, and seeing that she had no reaction, he had to return the Coke to her, but he was still a little unwilling to give up: "The taste is different, why don't you try mine."
“…Okay, give it to me.” Chu Qing was exhausted. The movie had a very fast pace and she would not be able to understand it if she was not careful. She could only deal with him for the time being.
Qi Weichen saw her drink his Coke as he wished, but she just took a few quick sips and said to him in a businesslike manner: "The taste is exactly the same. If you really think it doesn't taste right, let's switch."
Qi Weichen stared at her for a moment and said calmly, "No need."
Chu Qing: “?” Why does he seem a little disappointed
Being tormented by him from time to time, Chu Qing finally regained her attention. She couldn't help but wonder what he wanted to do. As a result, after thinking for a while, she missed several important plots and couldn't understand the rest of the plot at all. She sighed, gave up the movie, and looked at Qi Weichen wholeheartedly.
As she looked at them, she noticed that his eyes did not seem to be on the screen. Chu Qing paused, followed his gaze, and saw that the two people sitting in front of them were kissing each other.
Chu Qing: “…”
She was silent for a long time with a strange look on her face. Seeing Qi Weichen still looking at her, she couldn't help but pull his sleeve. Qi Weichen paused and immediately looked at her: "What's wrong?"
Chu Qing glanced around, then came close to him and whispered, "Don't stare at me all the time. What if I find out?"
Qi Weichen didn't expect her to say this, so he paused and said, "Okay."
Chu Qing smiled and said, "You probably don't like to observe others, why don't you just watch the movie?"
Qi Weichen was silent for a moment, then told the truth: "I'm not in the mood."
Chu Qing raised her eyebrows: "Why..."
Before he finished speaking, a scream came from the speakers, and the people in the theater also exclaimed. Chu Qing saw Qi Weichen frowned for a moment, but soon returned to calm. She was stunned: "Are you scared?"
Qi Weichen didn't like this sudden noise, so he showed some displeasure. Unexpectedly, Chu Qing misunderstood. He was about to explain that it was not the case, but he saw her worried expression, and the words came out of his mouth: "A little bit."
"… You suggested watching a horror movie, and I thought you weren't afraid. Let's go out then." Chu Qing said hurriedly.
Qi Weichen grabbed her hand and said, "Watch it first before you leave."
"Aren't you afraid?" Chu Qing said helplessly.
Qi Weichen glanced at the couple in the front row. At this moment, the girl was resting her head on the boy's shoulder. He was silent for a moment and said, "If you let me lean on you, I won't be afraid."
Upon hearing this, Chu Qing quickly agreed and even adjusted her position, holding his arm with one hand and holding his hand with the other, and the two of them were tightly pressed together.
"What about this? Are you still afraid?" Chu Qing asked worriedly.
Qi Weichen was silent for a moment, then said insincerely, "Not bad."
"If you are particularly scared, just close your eyes." Chu Qing advised.
Qi Weichen responded, and his other hand came over to hold her hand. The two of them were finally able to watch the movie quietly, but the plot had gone a long way, so they could only enjoy the horror special effects.
These special effects were quite amazing at first, but after watching them for a long time, I found that they were just so-so. In addition, I couldn’t understand the plot, and the urge to sleep that had never been achieved finally found Chu Qing. In the end, Qi Weichen didn’t lean on her, but she leaned on Qi Weichen’s shoulder.
When Qi Weichen felt a little warmth approaching, he immediately tensed up. Chu Qing was not very comfortable with his pillow, so he tapped his leg and said vaguely, "Lower your head."
"…Why is it so low?" Qi Weichen grabbed her hand and asked in an unnatural voice.
Chu Qing frowned: "You are too tall."
Qi Weichen understood and silently sat down a little. In order to match Chu Qing's height, his back, which had been straight until now, bent down at this moment.
The movie lasted two hours, and Chu Qing slept for an hour and a half. When she woke up, the lights in the theater were on. She sat up blankly, looked around, and asked Qi Weichen, "Is it over?"
"Yeah." Qi Weichen lowered his eyes and his gaze fell on the water stains on his shoulders.
Chu Qing followed his gaze and immediately blushed. She pretended to be calm and said, "This must not be my saliva."
"Well, no." Qi Weichen cooperated.
Chu Qing's face suddenly turned redder. She glanced at him, picked up the unfinished popcorn, and walked out directly. Qi Weichen's eyes flashed with a smile, and he chased after her and held her hand. Chu Qing struggled twice but failed to break free, so she had to let him go.
The two of them walked slowly hand in hand. The cinema was not far from their home, so they did not take a taxi and planned to walk all the way back.
It was already dark, but the busy streets were as bright as day, with people coming and going. Qi Weichen calmly protected Chu Qing and slowly walked through the busy streets towards the quiet neighborhood.
"My birthday is in just over a week." Qi Weichen said slowly.
Chu Qing paused for a moment. She didn't expect him to bring up his birthday. She couldn't help but ask with a smile, "Do you want a gift from me?"
"Yeah." Qi Weichen admitted frankly.
Chu Qing just couldn't think of what to give him, so she immediately asked, "What do you want?"
"you."
Chu Qing: “?”
"After we broke up, you haven't officially agreed to get back together. I want you to agree to be my girlfriend again." Qi Weichen said, and the tips of his ears turned red again.
The author has something to say: Qingqing: Shame on you, I already celebrated my 18th birthday once in 2019, and now I have to celebrate it again
Qi Weichen: Yes, I will, because I want a birthday present.
