Pei Zhen thought of himself as the best man of the century.
He was good-looking, responsible, perceptive, and very attentive.
Even if Fu Sichen had really offended half the entertainment circle, he’d find a way for Fu Sichen to have a sense of achievement so that he wouldn’t think of himself as useless.
“Only…” Where warming the bed was concerned, everything was ready with one exception. Pei Zhen rubbed his chin, and a look of guilt came over him. “I recently… hmm, anyway, don’t you worry. I will carry out my duties as a man.”
Fu Sichen could only smirk. “Huh, making sure that it wouldn’t be painful for me?”
“That’s right!” said Pei Zhen.
Fu Sichen was speechless.
He wanted to say, that’s right my foot!
Fu Sichen felt that, to an extent, he was also at fault for allowing the misunderstanding that Pei Zhen had.
He hadn’t been clear with Pei Zhen, he hadn’t drawn the lines, and he was too subtle in his expression. He should have been more aggressive and just topped the guy from the start.
“Hungry?” Pei Zhen held Fu Sichen’s hand and gave it a swing. “You came over in such a rush, so you must be hungry.”
“It’s okay. I’m not hungry yet.” He had a million thoughts in his head, however the moment he looked at Pei Zhen, he couldn’t help but soften. “Pei Pei, do you want to watch a movie?”
The dating strategy—Fu Sichen, the newbie to falling in love, had borrowed advice from the interactive encyclopedia.
There were thousands of strange and intriguing dating ideas in the encyclopedia. However, there was no escape from the classic progression of having a meal, watching a movie, and then… hitting the bed.
Fu Sichen didn’t bother to come up with any noble or grand reasons. In any case, his ultimate goal was the last step.
Because of that, he skipped the ‘having a meal’ step and grudgingly slowed down so that they could go through the ‘watching a movie’ step—which was already very gentlemanly of Fu Sichen.
Pei Zhen initially felt that watching a movie was quite meaningless, but on further thoughts—given their current status—going to a shopping mall was only asking for trouble. So, he nodded his head to the movie suggestion.
The two took a side street to the cinema. En route, Pei Zhen even voluntarily bought a bottle of Cola.
“How could we watch a movie without Cola?” Apart from Cola, Pei Zhen was hugging a packet of Spicy Strips. “It’s no fun not having popcorn.”
Fu Sichen glanced at the packet of Spicy Strips that Pei Zhen had just pushed into his arms. In the end, he pursed his lips and smiled, saying nothing.
When they reached the cinema, they picked a show and bought tickets. When Fu Sichen reached into his pocket for his credit card, Pei Zhen instead quickly paid with his mobile phone. “Let me pay, I’ve got money.”
Fu Sichen fell silent.
Great. The little brat had completely bought into the idea that he was providing for Fu Sichen.
If it weren’t for the fact that the movie was starting, Fu Sichen would have given Pei Zhen a good earful.
The movie, which they had so carelessly chosen, turned out to be a horror film.
To create a scary atmosphere, the cinema had put in considerable efforts and decorated the entry passageway to make it look eerie and dark.
The dark created a sense of panic, but the dark also provided opportunities for boldness.
While they had to suppress themselves in public and refrain from holding hands, there in the dark, Fu Sichen’s fingertips brushed over Pei Zhen’s, teasing and stroking—it didn’t take Pei Zhen long to succumb.
The latter reached out with his hand, curling his little finger around Fu Sichen’s, and gradually they settled down, palm to palm.
The sweet taste of being in love.
There was a sizeable crowd in the theatre, and because Pei Zhen and Fu Sichen bought their tickets last-minute, they found themselves in quite remote seats.
Fu Sichen was delighted they ended up in a little forsaken corner.
Who cared about the movie? In the dark, holding hands, exchanging kisses without fear of things heating up—it was the perfect lead-up to what should come next!
