Half of the planned trip had passed.
She helped Wang Zijun with the computer, went to his fake workplace, and had lunch. It was only one o 'clock in the afternoon.
Outside the restaurant, Jiang He shrunk her neck and didn't pinch the little bear anymore. After all, this guy had just taken her to a big meal and was busy barbecuing meat.
The cold mist was faintly discernible in her mouth and nose. The sun was already moving west, and it warmed her body. Xu Qing held her hand and looked around. They couldn't drink milk tea now, so they could go shopping and watch a movie together.
The movie theater was a bit far from here, and they could walk there after lunch. It would save money and help digestion … He told this plan to Jiang He, and Jiang He readily agreed.
There was nothing she could do if she didn't agree. If he asked her for her opinion, she would probably say "let's go back to playing games."
"It's so easy to raise such a silly girl." Xu Qing sighed. "If it were those rich girls, they would definitely stamp their feet and say they can't walk …"
"Is there something wrong with his girlfriend's legs?"
"… You don't know what it means to be a spoiled child?" Xu Qing was surprised.
Seeing her frown, Xu Qing thought for a while and stamped his feet. "Oh no ~ Ahem, that's about it."
"I want to hit you." Jiang He was silent for a while and said what she was thinking.
"Just a demonstration. Do you want to try?"
"Like what you did just now?"
"Yes, stamp your feet, and then shake your body … Never mind, the bear will break if you pinch it again. Let's skip it. Let's not talk about this."
Xu Qing mourned for the little bear in her hand, and at the same time worried about himself … Well, in Jiang He's eyes, the bear was his substitute.
Half an hour later.
The two strolled to the movie theater. Xu Qing, who had been talking since the morning, felt thirsty. He didn't look for milk tea, but went to the store to buy two bottles of mineral water, stuffed them in his pocket, and took Jiang He into the theater.
"Can't we read it at home?" The clever Jiang He scanned the surrounding posters and could already tell what this place was for.
"It's not the same. This is a date."
Xu Qing shook his head. "Besides, the feeling at home and here is different. Watching you at home is like doing a mission. That kind of mentality is wrong. This is pure relaxation. Although it has the purpose of complementing the humanities for you, it shouldn't be like that …"
Jiang He was too serious about everything. After pondering for a long time, he felt that it was better to experience the outside world through practice.
Being cooped up at home was ultimately just an armchair strategist. Experiencing it personally was the fastest way to assimilate … That was why he brought her out on a date.
There was no delay on either end.
"Do you want to go to the toilet?" he asked.
"I …" Jiang He was stumped.
Although she had lived here for almost half a year, Xu Qing's question still made her a little uncomfortable.
"Nope."
"Go on for a while. Otherwise, you'll have to run out when you start watching … You'll have to sit in there for an hour and a half." As Xu Qing spoke, he had already pulled her towards the toilet. "If you don't want to go, I will. Wait for me here and don't run around."
"Then I'll go for a while." Jiang He lowered her head and went into the women's toilet.
In just two minutes, Xu Qing had already done it neatly with his masculinity. He wiped his hands with a tissue and waited at the door for a while. He estimated that Jiang He would need a while, so he went to the side to buy popcorn.
He didn't like sweet things, but he felt that something was missing if he didn't bring a bucket of popcorn to the movie.
There weren't as many people in the afternoon as there were at night. Occasionally, when a movie was about to start, some people would come in in twos and threes. They were probably shopping outside while waiting, and then they would come in at the right time.
Xu Qing had already chosen the movie. After getting the tickets, he took Jiang He to sit in the corner of the hall and waited for them to enter. He handed the popcorn to her while he fiddled with his phone.
"What are we going to watch?" Jiang He didn't have the habit of lowering her head. Her phone was just a smaller version of Baidu, and she often forgot to bring it with her when she went out.
"There's only one movie that suits you at this time of the year."
He took out two tickets from his pocket and handed them to Jiang He.
As for what movie to watch, he had a rough idea when he was studying on the computer that day. Foreign movies were not suitable for her at the moment. It wasn't a good thing for Jiang He to watch all kinds of white, black, and brown people, as well as monsters with blue eyes.
Horror movies, nonsense movies, sci-fi movies, and ancient costumes were also meaningless. Instead, they would make it more difficult for her to understand them because of cognitive problems. Since those dark and swarthy people existed, maybe blue-skinned aliens and indescribable mermaids were also real.
In her cognition, this was very likely.
Comedy movies were not bad, but those that were too exaggerated and inexplicable were not helpful for her understanding of social relations and humanities.
Movies like Charlotte's Troubles also had a natural threshold — before watching the story, Jiang He still had to understand what rebirth was.
It was not good to be too serious, and it was not good to be too exaggerated. She had to be close to the reality of small people and life, and it had to be easy to resonate with. It was best to have that kind of atmosphere if she watched it in the cinema … At first glance, there were many such movies, but after careful screening, it was really difficult to find one.
Xu Qing had also considered movies like "Mountains and Rivers, Old Friends". Director Jia's movies were pretty good, but the cinemas did not have them. Secondly, what she needed now was to understand the meaning of the existence of movies and change her attitude when watching movies. She could not treat it like watching the news and study seriously with a straight face …
If it was too serious, there would not be the slightest bit of empathy and resonance, which was the opposite of her purpose of experiencing the various aspects of modern life.
After thinking about it, Xu Qing could only try to bring Jiang He to experience the atmosphere, to sit in the same cinema with a group of people, to see how others treated the movies, so that she could have a correct understanding of this thing.
"We will be in a big dark room, sitting in the back row. During the process, don't talk loudly … If it's not necessary, it's best to watch quietly and not make a sound."
Seeing that it was almost time, Xu Qing reminded her softly, "If there's anything you want to say, wait until we come out. This bottle of water is for you … Can I hold your hand while watching the movie?"
"Do we need to hold hands while watching the movie?" Jiang He asked.
"No need, but of course it's best if you can hold hands … I can feel your emotions. It's dark inside, and you can also feel that I'm by your side."
"… Do you want to touch my hand?"
"Yes." Xu Qing said confidently.
"Lecher!"
"I'm just asking. If you don't want to, then don't hold my hand … I'm seriously asking for your opinion. How can you call me a lecher?"
Xu Qing was full of nonsense. "Also, lecher is a good person. I've told you many times … Next time, you should use the word 'pervert' to express what you mean."
"Pervert?" Jiang He repeated. For some reason, she felt that this word was very suitable.
"Yes, that should be what you mean, but I'm not a pervert …
Can we hold hands? After all, we are boyfriend and girlfriend, and we just held hands all the way here. This is called a date. "
Looking at Xu Qing's sincere eyes, Jiang He wavered.
Holding hands and touching hands … seemed to be the same?
They just held hands for so long, and she was held by his hand the whole time.
