Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Qiao Lian understood that Sun Tzi was troubleso to deal with.
But how on earth had Shen Liangchuan managed to shake him off?
Qiao Lian wanted to ask Shen Liangchuan about it, but seeing that he did not intend to speak much about it, she held back the questions.
She lowered her head and ate quietly.
After they had eaten, Shen Liangchuan stood up and looked at the ti. It was already three in the afternoon.
“Are you returning to work?” he asked Qiao Lian.
“... No,” she answered.
It would take an hour to get to the office and by that ti, there would be only another hour of work before it was ti to go ho.
She stood up and followed Shen Liangchuan to the car. As he drove off, she asked, “Are we going ho now?”
“No, not going ho.”
Shen Liangchuan continued, “Let’s go watch a movie.”
Qiao Lian was stunned to hear that.
Watch a movie.
In her mory, she couldn’t recall a ti when she had gone out for a movie date.
Suddenly, a few mories from eight years ago ca rushing back.
Actually, it had been quite common to date back then, in senior high school.
She had been considerably popular in school and had received love letters from a number of admirers.
She recalled the ti she had been in the middle of a ga with Zi Chuan and her cell phone had started ringing.
The call was from a boy who had been trying to ask her on a date. “Qiao Lian, would you like to go for a movie with this Saturday?”
She couldn’t rember who this boy was.
But at that ti, she had been curious.
She had only been to the movies with family, but not friends.
She thought for a mont and replied, “Let think about it and give you an answer tomorrow. What ti were you planning on going?”
“Twelve noon.”
After she hung up, Zi Chuan’s voice went through her headphones, “Who was that asking you out for a movie?”
“A boy of course,” she teased him.
“You’re not allowed to go.”
“Why?”
“We have a competition match tomorrow.”
“... But the competition starts at six in the evening. I’ll be done at the movies by four in the afternoon,” Qiao Lian replied.
“Don’t we need to warm up?”
Qiao Lian retorted, “Do we need four hours to warm up?”
Zi Chuan’s tone was icy. In his awkward adolescent breaking voice he said, “You’re not allowed to go!”
Qiao Lian paused and suddenly laughed. “Zi Chuan, are you jealous?”
There was a silence on the other end of the line.
After a while, he answered, “Yes. You’re not allowed to go to the movies with other boys.”
“But I’ve never been to the movies with friends.”
“I’ll take you to the movies in the future.”
I’ll take you to the movies in the future.
But there was no ‘future’ for them.
Her heart sank as she thought about this.
Her emotions were in downward spiral, and so did her expression as she looked out of the window.
She suddenly turned around and looked at Shen Liangchuan. “Have you ever been to the movies with other people?”
Shen Liangchuan glanced at her briefly and looked away in silence. “Yes, I’ve been.”
Qiao Lian fell into silence.
As Shen Liangchuan drove on, he got a little distracted.
That was the truth.
At that ti, because of his disapproval, Xiao Qiao had not gone to the movies with that boy. Eventually, since neither of them had been happy with the outco, they had ended up going for a movie “together.”
They bought two tickets each, leaving the other seat empty, and connecting to each other through their cell phones, they watched the sa movie at the sa ti, in different cities.
