Chapter 93 – Heartwarming

Shen Yu doesn’t even know how long it’s been since she’s seen a movie.

With the fast pace of life nowadays, a two-hour movie is not really something you’d care to watch if you didn’t have any spare time.

As a result, there are now many few-minute film commentaries, which condense a film into a few minutes to tell it all, and some video owners who specialise in such film clips have gained quite a following.

When fans see a film that interests them, they bookmark and like it with the intention of seeing it again sometime, and then it collects dust in their favourites.

The Cultural Square is not far from home, so Shen Yu took Asaba Li Xiang on a walk there and it was very busy.

When I looked at the information on the movie tickets, it was a romance called “Heartbeat”.

Shen Yu hasn’t seen it or known about it, but still can’t help rolling his eyes when he sees the romance category.

He is not a fool. Ever since his father gave him a lecture on love, Shen Yu has understood that his parents want to use Li Xiang to bring him down so that he can give up his AI research and get married and have children sooner to inherit the family business.

And judging from the way her parents treat Li Xiang, it’s clear that they like her a lot, so they’re pushing the envelope even more.

The frog is boiled in warm water. Shen Yu This frog is cleverer, and after sensing a hint, he is always alert to the temperature of the water and jumps away as soon as something is wrong.

His father and mother arranged for Li Xiang to live with him, took care of her during the week, let him take Li Xiang home for the holidays, let him take Li Xiang to the movies, enjoy the lanterns, etc. ……

He just wants to soak him in warm water, so he will do it. As long as he keeps his head on straight, it won’t take long for his parents to realise that he doesn’t like Li Xiang at all, and they will have no choice but to give up. This is Shen Yu’s ‘anti-warm water’ plan.

‘Just keep an eye on Dad and Mum’s side, I’ve got my head on straight.’

‘As for Li Xiang, I have my demon chopper in my hand, am I still afraid she will boil me in warm water?’

Shen Yu was unimpressed and felt secretly pleased with himself for being so clear-headed.

Only the little frog does not know that warm water that can be felt is not warm water, only warm water that cannot be felt is truly warm water.

Master Li Xiang is using a large pot and throwing the frog prince in it, simmering it slowly over low heat.

“It’s the heartbeat!”

Asaba Li Xiang read the message of the film and looked very happy. The street was a bit cold at night, so she came over to Shen Yu and talked to him.

” Has Shen Yu seen the film?”

“No.”

“It’s super hot lately and I haven’t seen it either, I’m trying to watch it, and it’s got great reviews.”

“Aren’t you single, what’s the point of this romance.”

“That’s why I like to watch it when I’m single! It’s sweet! And I can find a lot of inspiration for drawing comics and making game scripts!”

After all, all they had to do was play at love, so it wasn’t too much of a waste of time to watch a romance together.

Cooked unknowingly.

When the film started, Asaba Li Xiang went to buy two buckets of popcorn and handed one to Shen Yu, who didn’t want it, so she held the bucket in one hand and was distressed to find that she couldn’t get her hands free to grab the popcorn.

“I’m not going to feed you even if you look at me.” Shen Yu said as he looked at the comical way she was holding two buckets of popcorn.

“I didn’t say that!”

“But your eyes tell me that’s what you think.”

“My eyes don’t talk either!”

Shen Yu blushed oddly, he clearly saw her say to him with her eyes, ‘Will you feed me’

“I meant to say Shen Yu can you get me a bucket of ……”

“……”

Shen Yu then helped her with a bucket, which left her right hand free to happily twist the popcorn into her mouth and eat it.

Following Shen Yu’s lead, she didn’t have to find her way around, so she just walked and ate while looking at the movie posters on the cinema wall.

It was a holiday and this movie was a romance, so all the people who came to the theatre were couples.

A pair of sticky, mushy people, girls hugging boys’ arms, boys wrapping their arms around girls’ waists, you feeding me a mouthful of popcorn, I feeding you a mouthful of milk tea, wanting to be one on the spot.

Shen Yu and Asaba Li Xiang, on the other hand, are a bit of a different couple – a couple who have been in the same boat for a long time.

The two, who obviously seem to be a good match, the tall, handsome guy himself walking expressionlessly in front, the sweet, well-behaved girl following a meter or so behind him, head down like a little squirrel, constantly stuffing popcorn into her mouth ……

The tickets were checked in, and even though Shen Yu was reluctant, the two tickets were seated back-to-back and the two sat together.

Shen Yu can easily smell the light fragrance of Li Xiang, a creamy and milky scent that smells a little sweet and nice.

” Shen Yu …… Do you want popcorn …… This one is the crispiest …… Here you go… …”

Even though the film hadn’t started yet, Li Xiang was self-consciously whispering, and in the dim light, her pretty fingers could be seen twirling a popcorn in front of him.

Shen Yu opened his mouth subconsciously and Asaba Li Xiang was about to feed it to him when the screen flashed and he snapped back to his senses and took the popcorn with his fingers and tossed it into his mouth, which was indeed quite crunchy.

The lights are off and the film begins.

Shen Yu is not interested in romance films, and this time he only had the intention of watching it casually, while Asaba Li Xiang was quiet beside him, staring at the screen with rapt attention and slowly feeding popcorn after popcorn into his mouth.

The film tells the story of a teenage girl’s first love and has a lightly heartwarming feel to it.

The heroine falls in love with him at first sight, so she boldly attacks him, such as sticking to him all day long, cooking him delicious food, sharing her secrets with him, being super active and brave, confessing her love to him again and again, and even though she is mercilessly rejected, she still tries every possible way to be nice to him, smiling like a fairy.

As for the hero, he doesn’t like her at first and is annoyed by her clinginess, even throwing away the things she gives him in secret. He doesn’t really hate her that much, but he is just too tongue-tied to look his heart in the eye.

As I watched, Shen Yu looked puzzled, wondering why this romance had such a strong sense of familiarity, and why I felt that the female protagonist’s clinginess was familiar.

While Asaba Li Xiang ate the popcorn unconsciously slowed down, staring blankly at the screen, it took him a long time to remember to put a popcorn in his mouth ……

Shen Yu couldn’t quite get into the film, he turned back to look at Li Xiang and in the light of the screen he could see her eyes, shining brightly and seemingly a little moist at the corners ……

Is it so good to cry?

You didn’t get into the heroine’s shoes and make yourself cry, did you ……

Shen Yu was speechless and continued to watch the film. To be honest, he was not too keen on the male lead, but still admired the female lead, who impressed him with her bravery and straightforwardness, in addition to her clingy streak.

As a frog, Shen Yu was impressed by his parents’ choice of films after watching the movie.

And Asaba Li Xiang is cooked.

……

When she left the cinema, Li Xiang was still engrossed in the plot of the film, chattering away to Shen Yu about the plot.

“She’s so brave!”

“She’s a girl eh, just so brave to say she likes it!”

Asaba Li Xiang is very impressed by the female protagonist, who walks behind Shen Yu with the popcorn in her arms, and puts it into her mouth one by one.

To be honest, the film is still very good. A sudden heartbeat and love germinates in the heart, and the director shows these things in first love in a particularly moving way.

But the inspiration Shen Yu and Li Xiang received from the film was clearly not equal, and the romance had a greater impact on the delicate Li Xiang.

” What does Shen Yu think?”

“It’s okay.”

“What about, what about the female lead? What do you think?”

“…… is pretty good.”

Shen Yu’s answer was rather perfunctory, after all, he didn’t read much into it.

But Asaba Li Xiang was satisfied with what she heard and she nodded, “I think she’s superb too, it’s just that the male lead is so over the top, Shen Yu is much better.”

Hearing her compare herself to the male lead in the film, Shen Yu was a little embarrassed and suddenly felt uncomfortable with her empty hands, so she looked at the popcorn in her arms.

“Is there any more popcorn, give me some.”

“Yes!”

Without hesitation, Asaba Li Xiang handed him one of the buckets.

“This barrel is crisper~”
