Chapter 185: Chapter 158: Watching a Movie Together While Lying Down
About ten minutes before the movie started, Lin Lu arrived at the cinema in the mall.
From afar, Cheng Zhu spotted her, after all, she was always noticeable in a crowd.
When Lin Lu saw Cheng Zhu, she first stood on tiptoes to wave at him, then, clutching the straps of her purse, she began to run towards him with a smile.
She was naturally lively and effervescent, and especially after Cheng Zhu’s previous setup, she thought he had been waiting for her for quite a while.
“I’ve made you wait so long!” Lin Lu said, standing in front of Cheng Zhu, looking up into his eyes.
Today, she was wearing a black dress that ended just above her knees, revealing fair and well-proportioned legs, and she was also wearing a beret.
Berets had always been a magical item in Cheng Zhu’s mind.
They looked especially good on girls with small and pretty faces. But for some more average girls, it was a hard accessory to pull off.
Lin Lu looked very pretty and cute today. Cheng Zhu watched her run towards him with a big smile and dimples on her cheeks; he felt his entire mood lift.
She was indeed a girl who could brighten up the day to the utmost.
“Here’s your drink,” Cheng Zhu said, handing over the less icy cola to Lin Lu.
“Thank you.” Lin Lu took it and looked around. “There are so many people here.”
“Well, it’s the holidays, so it’s normal,” Cheng Zhu said.
A few minutes later, they started to line up to have their tickets checked.
The VIP hall was small, and after Cheng Zhu entered with the tickets and looked for their seats, he realized Lin Lu had actually bought the two seats in the corner of the last row.
“Did you buy those seats because the middle ones were all taken when you were buying tickets?” he asked as he walked in.
“Not really,” Lin Lu shook her head, admitting in a soft voice, “I just wanted to sit in the back, didn’t want to have strangers lying next to me.”
“Oh—, so that’s it.” He drawled in an elongated tone, “Then you sit on the inside.”
After they were seated, Cheng Zhu began to feel the temperature inside the VIP hall.
As he expected, it was a bit chilly.
After all, there were more people in the other halls, sitting closely together, which made it warmer.
The VIP hall had fewer people, the sofa seats took up more space, and the distance between rows was wider. The air conditioning that was just right in other halls often felt a bit too cold in this one.
After sitting down, Lin Lu, still in her dress, didn’t feel cold for the moment. Instead, she felt a bit nervous.
Couples were a high percentage of the cinema-goers, all sitting in pairs.
At this moment, a young couple in front of them had already started to feed each other popcorn with practiced ease.
The guy mechanically ate without much reaction.
Why is it said the flirting stage is always the most thrilling?
Because each bout of intimacy is a brand-new experience.
Lin Lu sat upright and proper as Cheng Zhu started to adjust his seat, looking for a more comfortable reclining position.
She glanced at Cheng Zhu and then, following his lead, adjusted her seat to be just like his.
At that moment, two girls who were seated to Cheng Zhu’s left arrived.
After they settled in, Cheng Zhu naturally moved his body slightly towards Lin Lu.
He did it with perfect grace, not getting too close.
The lights in the hall dimmed at this moment; he comfortably lay down and started watching the pre-movie commercials.
It wasn’t until the lights went out that the girl started to feel more at ease, occasionally sneaking peeks at Cheng Zhu with her peripheral vision.
One advantage of a movie date is that, when men and women interact, they can’t do so at a normal volume or they will disturb others and seem ill-mannered.
Cheng Zhu considered himself to be part of the well-mannered crowd, so he leaned slightly towards Lin Lu before whispering with a chuckle, “What are you looking at?”
Having been caught sneaking a peek, Lin Lu felt a bit annoyed but stubbornly denied it, “Who’s looking at you!”
She even cleverly engaged in some sophistry, “It’s you who were peeking at me, right? How would you know where my eyes were looking if you weren’t peeking at me? But I wasn’t looking at you!”
“Wow!” Cheng Zhu pretended to be surprised, as if she had gone off to some training camp.
“Is that so?” Cheng Zhu partly turned, looking straight at her.
In the dim light, their eyes met for a few seconds.
“It’s… it’s just like that!” Lin Lu’s voice was light, but her tone was firm.
“All right then.” Cheng Zhu didn’t argue with her and instead looked down to take a sip of his cola.
For some reason, Lin Lu felt her face heat up and she took a big gulp of her cola, thinking to herself in irritation:
“Why does he have to be like that? I just casually looked at you, so what if you felt it, did you have to mention it!”
The movie “Go Limpidly” started right at that moment.
This was a domestic road movie that had achieved high box office revenues, which was rare.
In the context of 2014, a box-office revenue of over a billion was quite impressive.
At this stage, Xu Zheng and Brother Bo still had strong box office draw, so even the VIP hall was filled with people.
The movie started off with many funny moments, and since Lin Lu was easy to amuse, she watched with genuine delight.
As for the plot, it involved a character played by Huang Bo who was divorced and cuckolded—suffering great pain.
Then, a character played by Xu Zheng took him on the road, promising to help him seduce women and have romantic adventures during the 3,000-kilometer trip.
Cheng Zhu had seen this movie on TV in a previous life, and it had been several years ago.
Now, seeing it again, he found it fresh.
Many actors who later became quite popular had been extras or minor characters in this film.
For example, Big-head Lei and Shen Teng, among others.
Lin Lu watched with great focus, gradually becoming more relaxed and getting used to lying fairly close to a person of the opposite sex.
But, the cinema was really a bit too cold.
She glanced at the people sitting in front of them; couples had started to snuggle up to each other for warmth.
For some reason, seeing this prompted her to glance at Cheng Zhu again.
As he looked down, she quickly turned her head away, pretending she wanted some popcorn.
Just then, Cheng Zhu also reached for the popcorn.
In the darkness, their fingertips lightly touched.
One was warm, the other cool.
“Ouch, my Baby Lu’s hands are freezing!” Cheng Zhu thought to himself.
He leaned slightly toward her and asked softly, “Are you cold? Your hand is so chilly.”
Lin Lu, still caught up in the strange feeling of their physical contact, instinctively nodded.
“You should’ve said so earlier. I think wearing two layers is a bit warm,” Cheng Zhu teased her, then he took off the oversized denim shirt he had just bought downstairs, draped it over her without giving her a chance to refuse.
Once she was covered with the denim shirt, Lin Lu felt like it still held his warmth and scent, causing her body to slightly shrink, while her hands clutched it tightly.
“Aren’t you cold on your legs?” Cheng Zhu looked down at her exposed, well-proportioned legs below the hem of her skirt.
Her skirt was already knee-length, and when she sat down, the hem naturally rose up slightly, revealing more of her smooth thighs.
“She even wore little leather shoes and ankle socks, a real treat for leg enthusiasts,” he thought.
“Cold, yeah, but can’t cover it,” Lin Lu said, holding up the shirt and speaking softly.
“If you take off your shoes and put your feet on the chair, won’t that cover them?” Cheng Zhu looked at her as if she was being silly.
“Wouldn’t that mean taking off my shoes?”
“What? Do they stink?”
Angry, Lin Lu lightly punched him, gritting her teeth, “My feet are fragrant!”
“Your kind has the smelly trotters!” As she kicked off her little leather shoes and curled her legs up, crossing them.
This action made the hem of her skirt shift again, revealing more thigh skin while also leaving the back of her legs somewhat exposed.
Thankfully, she acted quickly and covered up with Cheng Zhu’s oversized shirt.
“Phew! Saved! It’s so warm!” she sighed inside, snuggling further into the shirt.
Aside from the newfound warmth, that strange feeling began to spread in her heart again.
On the other hand, Cheng Zhu continued to watch the movie attentively, yet his arm rested on his extra-large cup of icy cola.
Speaking of which, his body was quite resilient, not particularly susceptible to cold, and he didn’t feel chilly even in a short-sleeved shirt.
But with the cup full of ice, resting his arm on it still felt extremely cold.
Lin Lu, huddled under the shirt, quietly asked him, “Aren’t you cold?”
“Why would I be cold?” Cheng Zhu spoke the truth.
Another ten minutes went by, and Cheng Zhu told the warm Lin Lu, “Look over there, someone’s kissing!”
“Ah! Where, where!” The impulsive Lin Lu immediately got excited.
Cheng Zhu pointed toward a corner where indeed a couple was absorbed in their make-out session, kissing passionately.
She expected it to be just a peck, like a dragonfly skimming the water.
Who would have thought they were so bold!
“You’re watching so intently?” The mischievous Cheng Zhu started again.
As Lin Lu raised her hand to hit him, Cheng Zhu naturally lifted his forearm to block, and her palm gently tapped against his wrist before immediately feeling its coldness.
Nonsense, wouldn’t it be cold after being pressed against iced cola?
“You’re so cold!” Lin Lu couldn’t hold back.
“No, not at all.” After touching it, Cheng Zhu began rubbing his wrist with his palm, frowning.
Sincerity is our signature; honesty is our policy.
Then he wrapped his arms around his chest and resumed watching the movie.
“She must be really cold; she surely feels it,” the girl thought.
“Right, right, she wouldn’t have noticed when she just took the shirt off.”
“I’m just starting to feel okay under the shirt!”
“And the guys around here are all freezing too.”
Her mind was quite active.
Lin Lu took a glance at his profile, which had a blurred, enchanting feel to it in the dim light of the screen.
“What’s up?” Cheng Zhu asked.
“Come over here,” Lin Lu immediately turned her head away, her eyes fixed on the big screen, but she spoke to Cheng Zhu.

Cheng Zhu moved a little bit closer to her.
“Come closer.”
He moved a bit more.
Finally, Lin Lu also decisively shifted a bit towards him.
There was still a certain distance between the two, not like typical couples stuck together.
After moving closer, Lin Lu pulled up the denim shirt and draped it over Cheng Zhu while still keeping her eyes glued to the screen, her gaze steadfastly not wavering as she said in a very soft voice,
“I’ll share half with you.”
