MTL - The Sweetest Thing In the World-Chapter 8 summer rainstorm
Soon the movie tickets were checked in, and the two sat down. Min Yue took out the 3D glasses that she had bought before collecting the tickets, wiped them with a wet towel, and then wiped off the water with a dry paper towel before handing them to Xu Mai.
Xu Mai thanked him, and took out a bottle of disposable disinfectant. "Remember to wash your hands before you eat later."
The movie theater is tightly sealed, and the ventilation is entirely dependent on the air conditioner. It receives a large number of customers every day, and the cleaning staff only sweep the floor. As for the seats, it is impossible for someone to wipe them.
This theater has not been open for a long time, and the sanitation is acceptable, but for some old theaters, every time Xu Mai finished watching, there was a layer of dust hidden under his fingernails, so he got into the habit of carrying disinfectant with him.
"Okay, thank you master." Min Yue took it and put it on his lap. Master's occupational disease is a bit serious, and his degree of cleanliness is even more exaggerated than his own.
The hall was completely dark, the screen lit up, and the commercials began to play. Xu Mai took out a large silk scarf from his handbag, spread it around his shoulders.
"Is Master cold?" Min Yue asked.
"One thing, the weather forecast says that there will be heavy rain today, and the temperature may drop." Xu Mai replied softly.
"Will it rain? When I went out, I saw that the sun was quite bright."
"The forecast is not necessarily accurate."
The auditorium slowly quieted down, and the feature film started. The two stopped chatting and put on their glasses to enjoy the film.
The movie is really good, the pace is fast, and the plot is very attractive. Because astronomical scientists are invited as consultants, there are not too many loopholes in the logic of the background setting. The post-editing is very good. The magnificent interstellar battle scenes are accompanied by passionate music, which makes people feel passionate.
When I get excited, my body gets hot, and then I feel that the air conditioner in the cinema hall is turned on too hard, making it a bit cold.
Min Yue was wearing a suspender skirt, and her skin exposed to the air was stimulated by the heat inside and the cold outside, causing a lot of goose bumps. Min Yue couldn't help crossing her arms, rubbing against each other to generate heat.
Suddenly, an object with body temperature gently covered him.
Min Yue lowered her head to see that it was the silk scarf around Xu Mai's shoulders. Warm and smooth to the touch, it is a satin woven from silk.
Because it is wide, it is nearly two meters long when fully unfolded, so it can cover two people without feeling narrow.
An ink lotus leaf stalk leisurely leaps on the satin surface, and stretches along the plain white silk to the tip of Xu Mai's hair.
The fierce interstellar battle is over, the invading party is defeated, and the spaceship is driven away. The bulkhead reflects the moonlight, and the stars and silver lights are reflected in the vast night sky.
Xu Mai noticed that the people around him were looking at him, so he also turned his head to look at him.
The black lenses reflect the light from the screen, like the whole Milky Way falling into the eyes, clear and bright, and see through to the bottom.
There seemed to be fireworks exploding in her mind, and Min Yue lowered her gaze, her heart pounding like a deer.
The enemy fleet fled farther and farther until it disappeared. The night sky returned to tranquility, and the full moon quietly embossed in the deep night. The aborigines on the planet walked out of their homes in twos and threes, looked up at the full moon, held hands, shoulder to shoulder, feeling the peace, tranquility and beauty.
The soundtrack is as soothing as a gurgling stream, and the couples are infected by the atmosphere, head to head, and the two hearts are drunk together.
Min Yue quietly pinched a corner of the silk scarf and held it in the palm of her hand.
After the movie was shown, the wind suddenly picked up, the clouds were dense, and it rained in an instant. Many people did not bring umbrellas, and gathered at the gate of the shopping mall to wait for the rain to stop.
Min Yue wanted to take a taxi, but the number of people calling for a taxi increased sharply in this weather, and the app showed that no one was taking orders. Xu Mai came out of the bathroom and saw that she hadn't left yet, so he asked, "You didn't drive here?"
"I didn't buy a car."
"Then I'll send you off."
Min Yue reported the address of the community. "By the way? Will it trouble you too much..."
Xu Mai said: "It's okay, I'll see you off."
The two took the elevator to the second floor of the shopping mall to pick up the car. Xu Mai's car was a white SUV, just like her own, clean and not a speck of dust could be seen.
Min Yue climbed into the co-pilot and fastened his seat belt. Xu Mai turned on the radio, the radio station was reporting the road conditions, the heavy rain hit the rush hour, and as a result, the city was blocked everywhere.
Xu Mai didn't talk much, the two of them sat in silence for a while, and Min Yue broke the embarrassment by asking, "What time did Master come home last night?"
"It's more than 1 o'clock."
"so late!"
"Well, I slept for a while after you left, which wasted time." After a pause, Xu Mai said again: "Thank you for the porridge, it's delicious."
"No, I have to eat anyway. Does Master usually cook by himself?"
"almost not."
Min Yue guessed that she wouldn't do it either, she was usually so busy at work, she definitely wanted to rest after work. "I seldom cook. It's not easy to cook alone, and it's annoying to wash vegetables and dishes. Does Master usually order takeaway?"
"No, I eat in the cafeteria, or buy some bread and biscuits from the supermarket."
Min Yue was stunned. Could it be that she was eating unpalatable food every day, no wonder she was so thin.
The raindrops fell on the car windows, knocking out a crisp melody. In the rain that covered the sky, there was a long queue of cars, moving forward slowly. Xu Mai turned off the radio and played the music CD he had recorded. The soothing piano notes blended with the soft sound of rain, and it was hypnotic after listening for a long time.
Min Yue got up early, spent most of the day studying, and didn't take a nap. At this moment, her eyelids were drooping, her head was bit by bit like a chicken pecking at rice, and finally fell asleep completely.
A few hundred meters away from the traffic light intersection, Xu Mai shifted into neutral, pulled up the handbrake, turned around and saw Min Yue's forehead pressed against the car window, sleeping very uncomfortable, so he untied the driver's seat pillow and tied it to the back of the passenger's seat On the bed, she reached out to straighten her head and leaned firmly on the pillow.
Min Yue slept comfortably, her eyebrows relaxed, and the corners of her mouth raised.
Xu Mai turned off the music, saw that the brake lights of the car in front were off, released the handbrake, slowed down the car, and followed. Afraid of waking Min Yue up, he controlled the starting and braking very steadily along the way.
When driving to Min Yue's community, it was still raining heavily. Xu Mai was afraid that she would get caught in the rain, so he planned to send her to the underground garage, but the guard saw that it was an unfamiliar license plate, and had to ask someone to report which building and room number he was looking for, otherwise he would not let her go.
Xu Mai had no choice but to wake Min Yue up. "Min Yue."
She was too deep in sleep to move.
Xu Mai patted her hand lightly. "Min Yue, wake up, you're home."
Min Yue took a long breath, slowly opened her eyes, and said in a sleepy tone, "Master?"
"Which building is your home, and what's the house number?"
"Building 23, 1601."
Xu Mai repeated it to the guard, and also reported Min Yue's name. The guard checked it correctly, gave her a temporary parking card, and finally let her go.
Min Yue woke up physically, but her consciousness was still not clear. She stared out the window for a long time before realizing that this was her own community.
Xu Mai drove into the basement floor, followed the signs to find Building 23, stopped in front of the elevator shaft door, and pressed the door unlock button. "you arrived."
It happened to be meal time, Xu Mai sent him back from such a long distance, it was really unreasonable not to invite someone to have a light meal. So Min Yue invited: "Master, come to my house and have a taste of my craft."
Xu Mai declined: "Don't bother me, I will make arrangements later."
"Then thank you master for sending me back. Goodbye master." Min Yue jumped out of the car, took two steps, turned around and lay back on the car window.
Seeing that she still had something to say, Xu Mai rolled down the passenger window. "What's wrong?"
Min Yue blushed, feeling rather embarrassed. "Master...I have been studying at home today, I really didn't plan to go out to play..."
"It's okay, work and rest."
Seeing that Xu Mai didn't blame him, Min Yue made an inch of it and said, "Then I'm on the operating table. If I don't perform well, can Master not criticize me?"
Xu Mai said decisively: "Impossible."
Min Yue's eyelids drooped, and she waved goodbye resentfully, still muttering: "I can see clearly, Master's gentleness is short-lived, and Master's sternness is eternal."
He read it so loudly, it was clearly intended for himself. Xu Mai laughed heartily, raised the window and drove away.
