My mouth moves faster than my brain; I went viral on Running Man and the whole internet is laughing.

Xu Yan's lips curled up slightly when he saw the message.

Even through the screen, he could imagine the silly way this girl was clenching her fists and "threatening" him.

OK.

After a while.

Dilraba sent another message: "Treat me to milk tea tomorrow."

Xu Yan: "Okay, what do you want to drink?"

Dilraba: "Give you a kiss."

"?"

Xu Yan immediately typed a question mark: "Stop pretending? Are you coming clean?"

On the other end of the phone.

Dilraba blushed and quickly retracted the message: "Typo! It should be taro boba!"

Xu Yan replied slowly, "Oh, so you typed out what was on your mind?"

"You wish!"

Dilraba retorted angrily, "If you keep making fun of me, believe me, I'll make you buy double the food!"

Xu Yan: "Sure, double the kisses."

Dilraba: "Get out of here!"

Xu Yan smiled and put down her phone.

Teasing this girl every day is quite a stress reliever.

……

The following day, in the evening.

Xu Yan changed into a neat shirt and jeans, put on a hat and mask, and went downstairs.

Dilraba was already waiting at the hotel entrance.

She was dressed simply today, with a white knit sweater that accentuated her slender waist, and high-waisted denim shorts that revealed a pair of long, straight, white legs that swayed gently with her shifting weight.

Although the baseball cap and mask covered most of her face, they couldn't hide the overwhelming aura she exuded.

Clearly, this girl put even more effort into her outfit than last time.

"Oh, a fairy descended from heaven?"

Xu Yan walked over and teased him with a smile.

Dilraba looked up, saw Xu Yan, and burst out laughing: "Why are you fully armed too?"

"What, big stars look down on little stars?" Xu Yan teased.

"Okay, okay, you're definitely on trend now."

Dilraba suppressed a laugh and opened her fair palm: "Where's the milk tea?"

Xu Yan handed the milk tea to Dilraba: "Hey, let me give you a kiss."

"It's taro paste boba."

Dilraba took the milk tea and emphasized it again with a touch of pride.

She then inserted the straw, pulled her mask down a little, and began to suckle with relish.

The two walked side by side toward the movie theater.

On the way, Xu Yan noticed that she had a thin, sparkling necklace hanging from her collarbone, which made her neck appear even whiter.

"What are you looking at?"

Dilraba noticed his gaze and narrowed her eyes.

"You're practically jumping around when you walk today."

Xu Yan chuckled and teased, "So eager to watch a movie with me?"

"Tch, stop being so vain."

Dilraba tossed her head, her hair flying, but her tone was noticeably lighter: "This beauty is happy every day."

……

Half an hour later, at the movie theater ticket counter.

"Hello, I'd like to collect my ticket."

Xu Yan showed the ticket retrieval code.

The staff member glanced at the two of them and politely asked, "Would you like to change to a couple's seat?"

Dilraba paused in her movements.

She was about to say, "We're not a couple," when she heard Xu Yan say without changing his expression:

"Are there any differences in the seating?"

Staff member: "The couple seats are closer together, and there are fewer people around them."

"Are there any brother seats?"

Xu Yan said in a serious tone, "They'll sit close to me, but they won't lay a hand on me."

? ? ? ?

Dilraba looked puzzled, pinched Xu Yan in an annoyed tone, and said in a low voice, "Who wants to lay a hand on you?"

After saying that, she said to the staff, "Let's have the couple's seats."

Xu Yan raised an eyebrow at her.

Dilraba turned her face away and explained guiltily, "Just consider it an offline rehearsal for the 'Hot Couple'."

"OK."

Xu Yan nodded and smiled gently.

……

After a while.

The two bought a bucket of popcorn and went to the screening room.

There weren't many audience members; only a dozen or so people were scattered around. The two found their seats and sat down.

The couple seats are indeed closer together than the other seats, and there are no armrests between them.

The two had just sat down when their hands unexpectedly touched.

Dilraba's face flushed, and she quickly pulled her hand away.

Xu Yan looked down at his hands, his face full of confusion.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing his expression, Dilraba couldn't help but ask.

"fine."

Xu Yan said quietly, "Let me see if there's a thorn in my hand. How come someone's hand is launching itself?"

Reba smiled and glared at him, clearly annoyed.

Soon, the movie began.

The two looked intently at the big screen.

As a result, the very first shot of the movie showed Chen He's face.

"puff."

Dilraba laughed on the spot: "Why is Chi Ge still so cheeky in movies?"

Xu Yan glanced at her and threatened, "I'm going to tell Brother Chi."

"You dare!"

Reba quickly lowered her voice and raised her fist at Xu Yan.

Xu Yan chuckled, glanced at the screen, and added, "Brother Chi is really shameless..."

"I told you so."

Dilraba smiled smugly.

……

The film gradually gets into its main theme.

Chen Chichi plays the screenwriter Sha Guo, and Yang Beibi plays the car model Chen west. They meet through WeChat's "Shake" feature.

Chen west asked Sha Guo to meet him that very night. Sha Guo thought it was a romantic encounter and went with a condom.

After chatting for a while, Shaguo discovered that Chen west just wanted him to take care of his pet dog for two days.

He was immediately filled with disappointment and left with the dog.

Seeing this scene, Dilraba stared at Xu Yan with a sly look and said, "Is this what all you guys think?"

Xu Yan said seriously, "We can't generalize and condemn all boys."

Dilraba blinked: "And you?"

Xu Yan: "I was the one who got beaten to death."

"I knew it!"

Dilraba rolled her eyes dramatically and patted Xu Yan on the shoulder.

……

The movie continues playing.

The story quickly progresses to the point where the male and female leads are arguing, but both are saying one thing and meaning another.

Dilraba frowned as she watched:

"Why won't anyone tell the truth? It's driving me crazy!"

After she finished speaking, she suddenly looked at Xu Yan.

"If you were in that situation, would you be so hypocritical?"

Xu Yan paused for two seconds, thought for a moment, and then said, "No."

Dilraba asked curiously, "Why?"

Xu Yan said seriously, "Because I can't keep secrets."

Dilraba smiled immediately.

She knew she wouldn't get a proper answer from Xu Yan.

But next second.

Xu Yan then said in a serious tone, "And what I want, I will actively strive for."

Upon hearing this, Dilraba's eyes flickered slightly, as if she had some idea.

After a while.

The two of them reached for the popcorn at the same time.

Xu Yan accidentally grabbed Reba's small hand.

The two of them stopped moving at the same time.

Dilraba's cheeks flushed, and she instinctively tried to pull her hand away.

But as soon as she moved, she remembered her reaction to the "launch start".

She quickly glanced at Xu Yan.

Xu Yan, on the other hand, remained calm.

Without making a sound, he turned her hand over, flattened her palm, and picked up a piece of popcorn from the popcorn bucket and put it in.

"Eat it, don't try to take it from me."

Dilraba was taken aback for a moment, then her eyes crinkled with laughter.

This guy knows how to save face.

(Sob, writing romance is so hard. I originally planned to finish the next chapter and post it together, but I kept revising and editing, so I'll post this one first. The next chapter will be later, and there will be some progress in Xu Yan and Dilraba's relationship.)
