At ten past nine, Gu Ningyue and Ling Tianyou sat in the pitch-black cinema.
"The reviews for this movie seem pretty good," Gu Ningyue whispered while holding the popcorn.
Ling Tianyou nodded, "Yeah, the promotion was spot on."
The theater was packed, and in front of them was a couple, snuggling intimately.
They seemed to be newly in love.
Watching the couple being so affectionate, Gu Ningyue inexplicably blushed a little.
As the movie started, Ling Tianyou suddenly, stealthily, took Gu Ningyue's hand.
His hand was warm and strong, giving her no chance to pull away.
The originally cool fingertips were warmed, causing her heartbeat to quicken a bit.
Throughout the ninety-minute movie, Ling Tianyou tightly held her hand in his palm, as if she would slip away the moment he let go.
The popcorn in her lap was almost untouched; as the movie ended, Gu Ningyue couldn't help but resent her own lack of self-control.
