Chapter 317: Go to the Movies
Chapter 317
She scolded him for being selfish and made a big scene, but he sat on the couch without saying a word.
In the end, she felt like a clown and angrily stormed out, slamming the door behind her.
His marriage became a joke.
Fortunately, it's all over now.
When he learned that Li Man had returned, he was ecstatic.
He swore that this time he would never miss her again.
...
After dinner, Li Man and Chen Shi went out to see a movie.
Chen Shi had already bought the movie tickets in advance.
The two arrived at the movie theater, and Chen Shi was like a nervous young boy experiencing his first love. He asked Li Man to wait for him and went to buy a bucket of popcorn and a bottle of cola.
Whenever he used to go to the movies with Li Man, she always asked him to buy these two things, and he remembered it all along.
"Here!" He handed the things he had bought to Li Man.
Li Man lowered her gaze and looked at the things Chen Shi handed over, a helpless smile appeared on her lips. "Come on, you think I'm still young? I haven't eaten this junk food in a long time."
A trace of disappointment flashed in Chen Shi's eyes, but he quickly recovered and said, "Then what would you like to eat? I'll go buy it for you."
"No need, you've already bought them, it would be a waste not to eat them." Li Man took the popcorn and cola from Chen Shi's hand. "Thanks!"
Chen Shi couldn't help but smile, revealing a row of clean and neat teeth, looking quite handsome.
Li Man also smiled and said to Chen Shi, "Let's go!"
Even after many years of not seeing each other, their feelings were still as good as they were at the beginning.
The two checked their tickets and sat down in their seats. It didn't take long for the movie to start.
Li Man watched the movie while eating popcorn.
It was a love story, where the male and female leads went through countless hardships and finally became a couple.
Li Man's eyes were filled with tears as she watched, and she kept wiping them away.
Chen Shi kept handing tissues to Li Man.
He couldn't focus on the movie, his mind was filled with thoughts of how to confess his feelings to Li Man.
He couldn't afford to miss this opportunity again, Chen Shi silently vowed.
There was a young couple in front of them, the girl nestled in the boy's arms, crying uncontrollably.
He wanted to embrace Li Man just like that couple, wipe away her tears, and comfort her.
But his arm remained on the back of the chair, and until the movie ended, he didn't have the courage to put it on Li Man's shoulder.
When the movie ended, the lights in the theater came on, Li Man wiped away her tears and stood up.
Seeing Chen Shi still sitting in his seat, lost in thought, Li Man chuckled and said, "Let's go, are you still immersed in the story?"
A bitter smile appeared on Chen Shi's lips as he stood up. He had been too busy looking at her to pay attention to what the movie was about.
"This movie is so touching, how come you're not moved at all?" Li Man asked, wiping her tears.
Chen Shi pretended to be mature and said, "We're both getting older, it's not easy to be moved so easily."
Li Man scoffed, "You can keep pretending!"
Chen Shi's heart tightened, thinking that Li Man had discovered his feelings. He quickly wanted to explain, but he saw Li Man walk away as if nothing had happened.
He shook his head and hurriedly caught up with Li Man.
As they stepped out of the movie theater, snow started to fall from the sky, gently fluttering down.
Chen Shi didn't want to go back so early, so he suggested, "It's snowing, and the roads are not good. Let's take a walk a bit longer."
Li Man took out her phone to check the time but noticed a missed call.
It was from Huo Jian Sheng.
