"Is your dad working overtime?"
"Don't worry. They won't find us."
Xiaoxiao stuck her head out and looked left and right. Obviously, she was also worried that her old father would suddenly appear from some intersection on a patrol motorcycle or a car.
Although she was worried, she still held Xu Shi 'an's hand.
Xu Shi 'an looked around. Even though he was thick-skinned, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
Although they had been holding hands since elementary school, Xu Jin was always there, so they didn't feel anything. After junior high school, they didn't spend much time alone with each other. It was different now.
"We can't have puppy love." Xu Shi 'an squeezed her fingers.
"Yes, we can't have puppy love." Xiaoxiao nodded.
The two agreed that they couldn't have puppy love. Then, they walked hand in hand to Jiangcheng Square.
"I should have brought Jin. I said I wanted to go to Godmother's place."
Xiaoxiao was still worried that her parents would tell them that she was actually out with Xu Shi 'an. She thought about it and said, "Why don't we go to Godmother's place first?"
"My sister doesn't like to come out. It's okay. Even if they call, my parents will fool them. They will know that we are out. " Xu Shi 'an didn't plan on going back to the store to put on an act. His parents and Xu Jin were well aware of what was going on. Continuing to pretend would be like burying one's head in the sand. There was really no need for him to do so.
He trusted his father and mother very much. They had both agreed to enter the top 15 in the class. They had paid such a painful price in exchange for playing with Xiaoxiao for an entire day. If his father leaked the information, it would be equivalent to breaking the agreement between them.
The spirit of the contract couldn't be broken. Anyway, his father knew everything about them. They just had to be thick-skinned.
Holding Xiaoxiao's soft hand and listening to the music from the roadside store, Xu Shi 'an was in a good mood.
He had an urge to sing.
But he had to hold back. They were not in the bathroom now.
He had prepared for this day for a long time. Not only did he save a lot of pocket money, but he also asked Xu Qing for a cinema card. If he didn't want it, he would only have enough pocket money to watch a movie and eat popcorn. Now, he could use the points in Xu Qing's card and the free quota to buy popcorn and movie tickets. He could go shopping and eat with Xiaoxiao with his own money.
Moreover, Xu Shi 'an was already very satisfied without Xu Jin, the third wheel.
"I promised my dad that both of us will be in the top 15 next time," he said to Xiaoxiao.
"Ah?"
Xiaoxiao was taken aback.
"We have to get good results. Only then will they turn a blind eye to us and even cover for us." At such a young age, Xu Shi 'an had already seen through the ways of the world. "If my sister goes out to play, she can have anything she wants. That's the reality."
"Then your dad … oh no, my godfather said that if we do that, we can have puppy love?" Xiaoxiao was very surprised about this.
"Uh … it should be possible." Xu Shi 'an thought about Xu Qing's smiling face and said with certainty, "He won't care too much, but we can't fall in love at such a young age."
Puppy love was bad, but he and Xiaoxiao weren't bad at all.
Xiaoxiao, who was already in middle school, was shorter than him by more than half a head. Her black hair was loose and swayed as she walked. Xu Shi 'an licked his lips. There was an unknown emotion in his heart, but his body was honest. He held Xiaoxiao's hand and walked on the street. They leaned against the roadside and looked at the stalls on both sides.
Now that they couldn't go to those fancy shops to buy accessories, the roadside stalls were not bad. They could buy hairpins or bracelets. Xu Shi 'an knew his ability very well.
On the weekends, Jiangcheng Square was crowded with people. It was much more lively than usual. The two of them, who usually wore school uniforms, were like birds that just got out of the cage, looking around for something new.
Walking around, Xu Shi 'an, who had money in his hand, always wanted to spend it. However, Xiaoxiao only looked at him and then pulled him to the next stall. The sun slowly rose above their heads. When the two of them were about to eat, they bought a pretty little book clip.
The movie was in the afternoon, so they weren't in a hurry. They ordered at KFC and found a seat by the window.
"Next time, let's eat there." Xu Shi 'an gestured across the window. It was a western restaurant. It was much more expensive than the KFC here. It would take a long time to save money.
He looked at the two people in black who were sitting by the window with their backs to the outside. He secretly calculated how much money he needed to save.
"Don't you think that back looks a bit familiar?" Xiaoxiao followed his gaze and moved closer to the window.
"Do I?"
Xu Shi 'an looked carefully. "It looks like it, like in that movie …" He thought for a moment. "Have you seen' This Killer Is Not Too Cold '?"
"No."
"It's an old movie. It's not showing in the cinema. Come to my house when you have time."
Hearing his words, Xiaoxiao retracted her gaze and moved it to Xu Shi 'an's face. She looked at him and smiled.
Go to my godfather's house and watch a movie with Xu Shi 'an …
Xu Shi 'an had already turned his head to look at the KFC's queue number screen. It wasn't their turn yet.
He held the cinema card in his pocket and thought about sitting in the cinema with Xiaoxiao in a while. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and his slightly immature face showed happiness.
Influenced by Xu Qing, the sister and brother had also watched a lot of movies. Xu Jin watched the most and was also very interested in foreign movies. Although Xu Shi 'an was not as good as Xu Jin, in front of Xiaoxiao, he could also read a lot of movies. Well, reading a lot of movies was also very good, Xu Shi' an thought.
At the age of first awakening of love, there was no secret love, and there were not too many melancholy feelings. Simply eating KFC together was already all the happiness.
In the afternoon, they went to the cinema. Xiaoxiao followed Xu Shi 'an, who was familiar with the place, and inadvertently envied him for a moment. She rarely went out to play, and she was not like Xu Shi' an, who was taken to watch movies and go shopping by Xu Qing since he was a child.
But Xu Shi 'an gave it to her again. Xiaoxiao clenched her fists and turned her head to look at the dark cinema. Xu Shi' an put a finger on his lips and made a shushing gesture, indicating that she should not destroy the environment of the cinema.
It was "Ice Princess" on the screen. Xu Shi 'an didn't know what girls liked to watch. He had asked Xu Jin before, but Xu Jin's answer was something like "Inception" or "Isolation Island", which was obviously not what normal girls liked to watch. So he chose this movie on the weekend.
Fortunately, Xiaoxiao seemed to like it very much, but she was not very obedient. She always grabbed his hand and scratched his fingers.
Before he knew it, the movie was over. Before the lights were turned on, Xiaoxiao seemed to have secretly kissed him. Xu Shi 'an was caught off guard and sat there in a daze for a moment. He turned his head and was about to say something when he glanced at the two men in black in the back row. It seemed that he had seen them twice today.
"Hey, doesn't that man look like my father?" Xu Shi 'an asked Xiaoxiao to look, ignoring the lingering feeling on his face.
"Really …" he said in surprise. The cinema was a little dark, so he couldn't see clearly. Xiaoxiao took back her hand holding his.
"Godfather."
Xiaoxiao took a few steps forward to greet him. She was a little reserved, and there was still a shy look on her face as if she had been caught doing something bad.
？？
Xu Shi 'an widened his eyes and looked at Xu Qing and Xu Jin who was beside him.
Everyone else had already stood up and left, but the father and daughter were still sitting there.
"You got the wrong person." Xu Qing took out a pair of sunglasses from his pocket. Xu Jin, who was beside him, also put on his sunglasses.
After thinking for a while, she covered her head with her hood.
"You really got the wrong person."
