DAY FIVE【 WATCHING A MOVIE TOGETHER】 

______________________________

______________________________

Taking the movie ticket, w.a.n.g Guangning stared blankly at Zhang Lingyi, “Are you sure you want to see this?”

It was actually the most terrifying horror film of the year.

But the reason for his paralysis was not because it was a horror movie, but rather…he had already seen it three times.

Zhang Lingyi nodded excitedly, “Shou shou, I have studied carefully and discovered that horror movies are the ‘little helpers in a.s.sisting couples to flirt’ and are like aphrodisiac tablets!”

“Aphrodisiac tablets?” w.a.n.g Guangning was speechless. Was there anyone who could tell him what exactly had happened during these last few days? How come horror movies became aphrodisiac tablets?

Zhang Lingyi nodded solemnly, “That’s right. All the guys who take girls out to watch a horror film have one objective — that is, to take advantage and embrace the girl when she becomes scared and starts trembling!”

w.a.n.g Guangning’s lips twitched, “Then if it’s the girl asking the guy out to watch a movie?”

“Of course, the main purpose is to pretend to be afraid then take the opportunity to drill into the guy’s arms.” Zhang Lingyi glanced at him, “This question, is it because a girl asked to take you to watch a horror movie?”

“No.” w.a.n.g Guangning replied resolutely.

The truth was, it wasn’t that it hadn’t happened before. Rather, it had happened multiple times.

Yes, the three times he had watched this horror movie was because he had been asked by girls. He thought about how the faces of those girls had been so expectant before the movie: “Waa, this looks exciting! We should watch this!” Then while watching the movie, they would scream and stare at him through the darkness with Bambi eyes that were more innocent and adorable than usual. Simultaneously, they would attempt to quietly hide into his arms without warning.

Fortunately, he had experienced this battle hundreds of times. While watching the film, he would fold his arms across his chest so the girls couldn’t take advantage of the opportunity.

The two people held the largest box of popcorn and c.o.ke then headed into the cinema.

The film was definitely worthy of being the best of the year.

The scenes were sinister and frightening, the plot was unexpected and the sound effects were top quality.

For Zhang Lingyi who was watching this for the first time, his blood was running cold. However, to w.a.n.g Guangning who no longer had the slightest amount of expectation towards the movie, he was calmly eating the popcorn.

Bang!

Crack~

The head of the girl in the film suddenly exploded and blood flowed everywhere. At the same time, w.a.n.g Guangning threw a piece of popcorn into his mouth, unperturbed. Just as he was chewing happily at the sounds of ‘cracking’, his line of sight was covered up by a large but slender hand.

“What are you doing?” w.a.n.g Guangning pulled Zhang Lingyi’s hand away.

“Ah, I was afraid you would be afraid!” Zhang Lingyi patted his own chest and said, “As a gong, I have to shoulder the responsibility of protecting you. Come into my arms!”

w.a.n.g Guangning could already face Zhang Lingyi’s convulsive actions that happened from time to time in an unruffled manner, so he only rolled his eyes and ignored him.

“Hey, cla.s.smate w.a.n.g. As a shou, can you please have some self-awareness?” Zhang Lingyi was completely dissatisfied with w.a.n.g Guangning who wasn’t cooperating with him, “Don’t you know why I carefully selected this horror movie? Wasn’t it all for this very moment?”

As he said this, one of his hands stretched over to embrace w.a.n.g Guangning’s shoulder and forced him into his arms, “Shou shou, quickly come into my arms!”

Unable to tolerate it any longer, w.a.n.g Guangning grabbed the box of half-eaten popcorn and threw it at Zhang Lingyi’s head. Then he said angrily, “I think you’ve been possessed by a ghost!”

The people sitting a few rows back were shocked by w.a.n.g Guangning’s sudden behaviour.

Zhang Lingyi took down the box of popcorn. He was feeling quite aggrieved with the fragrant and sweet popcorn on his head, “Shou shou, why won’t you act accordingly to the couple’s guide?”

w.a.n.g Guangning sneered, “Because my head hasn’t been stuck between the door before.”

“That hasn’t happened to me either.” Zhang Lingyi tried to defend his own intelligence.

“Then watch the movie properly.” w.a.n.g Guangning couldn’t even be bothered to roll his eyes so he turned back around to face the screen.

But Zhang Lingyi’s heart suddenly became more active.

The reason he had chosen this film was top learn how real couple’s flirted. In his original plan, w.a.n.g Guangning as the xiao shou would be scared and pale. When he burrowed his head into Zhang Lingyi’s arms, he as the mighty xiao gong who was like a brave warrior would lightly caress his chrysanthemum…wait, wrong…his back. Gently consoling w.a.n.g Guangning was the right thing to do.

Ah, such a harmonious picture, it would absolutely p.i.s.s off a gang of young girls ~

So why wouldn’t w.a.n.g Guangning cooperate with him?

After weighing over it for a while, Zhang Lingyi finally made the painful decision.

The plan could not be aborted, so since the other didn’t want to do it, then he would.

Hence, when the next horrifying shot came out, screaming girls could be heard from around the theatre. The girls sitting in the rows in front could also be seen leaning their heads on the guy’s shoulders.

And then…

Zhang Lingyi copied the meizi, and rushed into w.a.n.g Guangning’s embrace like a small bird, “Shou shou, I’m afraid!”

“……” w.a.n.g Guangning’s expression could no longer endure and finally cracked.

***

As they came out from the cinema, w.a.n.g Guangning’s expression had finally returned to normal. However, he stared strangely at Zhang Lingyi and said, “Do you want to go and check your head? I think you have some IQ problems.”

Zhang Lingyi angrily replied, “How can you say that, I’m someone who has received a scholarship!”

Sighing with regret, w.a.n.g Guangning said, “The important thing is that your behaviour does not match what a scholarship student should project!”

Zhang Lingyi felt wronged, “Wasn’t it all because you weren’t willing to come into my arms. I had even prepared for it!”

w.a.n.g Guangning was speechless.

After arguing for a while, the two prepared to go back when w.a.n.g Guangning’s phone suddenly rang. Picking it up, they saw that it was actually Yu Haining who they hadn’t seen for days.

“How can she still have the face to call?” Zhang Lingyi said in contempt.

w.a.n.g Guangning was also slightly stunned for a moment.

Before, it had always been him seeking out Yu Haining. She had never taken the initiative to contact him before, so he was surprised with the sudden call.

He originally had no intention of a.s.sociating with Yu Haining again, however, it was rare for Yu Haining to take the initiative to call. His curiosity finally exceeded his inner control and he pressed accept.

“Guangning~” Yu Haining’s sweet voice came through the phone line, like sugar threading around w.a.n.g Guangning, wrapping him in layers.

“What happened?” w.a.n.g Guangning’s voice was very cold.

She didn’t think that the first time she took initiative to call w.a.n.g Guangning’s phone, he would be so calm. Yu Haining was stunned for a moment, but she soon recovered and said softly, “I just came back shopping from outside. I’m at the subway and I have a lot of things I’m carrying. I’m too tired to keep walking, can you come and pick me up?”

“No.” w.a.n.g Guangning said coolly, directly hanging up the call.

“Tsk, you really didn’t give her any face.” Zhang Lingyi shook his head. Although he didn’t hear what Yu Haining said, he could guess a bit after seeing w.a.n.g Guangning’s expression.

“We already know what kind of person she is. Why would I want to foolishly let her use me, I’m not someone who has more wealth than common sense.” w.a.n.g Guangning had just finished speaking when Zhang Lingyi’s phone rang.

It was Yu Haining again.

“f.u.c.k, how come she was never so enthusiastic back when we were chasing her?” said Zhang Lingyi in disdain, “Now that we don’t bother with her anymore, she comes and finds us herself.”

Immediately afterwards, his eyes brightened and he glanced cheaply at w.a.n.g Guangning before accepting the call.

Yu Haining repeated what she had just said to w.a.n.g Guangning.

“Oh, okay. No problem, wait a few minutes, I’ll be there soon.” Zhang xiao cao was very warm.

After ending the call, Yu Haining was very satisfied. This what the kind of att.i.tude one should have towards a G.o.ddess. w.a.n.g Guangning even dared to hang up on her, she must give him the cold shoulder for a while.

At the side, w.a.n.g Guangning stared at Zhang Lingyi in puzzlement, “Don’t tell me you still haven’t given up on Yu Haining?”

“Of course I haven’t given up!” said Zhang Lingyi, “f.u.c.k, this young master is so big. The first time I chased a girl, I was unexpectedly played by her. If I don’t find a place to meet, how can I give up?”

“Then you’re going to help her carry her things too?”

“Of course not.” Smirking, Zhang Lingyi muttered a few words into w.a.n.g Guangning’s ear.

“This wouldn’t be a good idea.” Yet, w.a.n.g Guangning’s innermost conscience only felt a faint excitement.

“How can it not be a good idea, we’re not injuring her. We’re just letting her understand that she can’t play us guys just by relying on her beauty.” Zhang Lingyi replied while pushing w.a.n.g Guangning forward.

The subway was halfway between the cinema and F University, so Zhang Lingyi hurriedly pulled w.a.n.g Guangning towards it. From a distance, they could see Yu Haining standing at the entrance of the subway playing on her phone, with many large and small bags full of a variety of things placed at her feet.

“Go, you go first.” Zhang Lingyi let go of w.a.n.g Guangning’s arm and pushed him towards her.

“But it seems this doesn’t have any bottom line!” w.a.n.g Guangning was still a bit hesitant.

“f.u.c.k, you’re already pretending to be gay with me. Isn’t talking about a bottom line too late already? Go faster, quick ~”, Zhang Lingyi urged.

w.a.n.g Guangning considered it. He was already pretending to be gay with Zhang Lingyi, so this matter of a bottom line had basically already been broken. Hence, he was no longer embarra.s.sed and headed towards Yu Haining.

“Haining, I’ve come to pick you up.”

Yu Haining had been too immersed in playing her game so she hadn’t been paying attention to people around her. She was startled and lifted her head, only to be surprised once again at seeing w.a.n.g Guangning.

“Ah, Guangning, how come you came?” Yu Haining asked in astonishment.

“Weren’t you the one who called me?” w.a.n.g Guangning replied innocently.

“Didn’t you say you wouldn’t come?” said Yu Haining.

“Ha, I was just joking with you.” w.a.n.g Guangning adopted a posture as if her was going to pick a bag from the ground, “You called me, so how could I not come?”

“Wait,” Yu Haining quickly shouted out to stop him, wanting to find an excuse to prevent him from doing anything. Then she saw Zhang Lingyi running over towards them from far away as if he was flying. While sprinting, he yelled, “Haining, I’ve come.”

In the evening of winter, the sun’s rays were thin and there was also a cold wind that could be lightly brushed away. The corner of Zhang Lingyi’s jacket flipped over and his featured were elegant, unexpectedly producing a hint of sunshine.

At this moment, w.a.n.g Guangning seemed to hear a slight illusion.

In his ears, Zhang Lingyi’s shout automatically became — Guangning, I have come.

It was truly a scene that warmed the heart.

Yu Haining did not know how things had become like this. She had always been able to deal with being between the two xiao cao quite well.

Although they were both too young, and couldn’t give her wealth and brand named items like those well-established middle aged men, they were both greatly sought after men in F University. These two handsome guys chasing after her perfectly satisfied her vanity.

Her heart was actually slightly moved by them. After all, middle aged men had money, but none of w.a.n.g Guangning and Zhang Lingyi’s vitality and handsomeness.

Only, she was too greedy. She was reluctant to have to choose between them, and wanted to seize both.

Zhang Lingyi had already arrived in front of them and for a short period of time even seemed to be gasping for breath. Glancing at w.a.n.g Guangning, his brow suddenly wrinkled and his tone became poor, “Haining, how come he is here too?”

“This…” Everyone knew that w.a.n.g Guangning and Zhang Lingyi did not like each other. Even Yu Haining who could socialise well with others didn’t know what to do for a time, unable to deal with the changes.

w.a.n.g Guangning’s face also turned ugly, “Yu Haining, I didn’t think you were such a person.” Then he walked away violently.

“Guangning…” Yu Haining wanted to redeem herself, but Zhang Lingyi who was standing at the side also spoke, “Yu Haining, please don’t look for me anymore in the future.”

Finishing speaking, he flicked his head and elegantly walked away from the scene.

“Ha ha, this young master has finally expelled the resentment from my heart.” Zhang Lingyi proudly laid his hand on w.a.n.g Guangning’s shoulder.

w.a.n.g Guangning felt slightly uncomfortable and his shoulders were stiff. But then, thinking that since they were both grown men, there was nothing to be embarra.s.sed about so he let Zhang Lingyi do as he pleased.

The night breeze revealed a hint of coolness.

w.a.n.g Guangning asked, “Zhang Lingyi, why did you chase Yu Haining?”

“Ah, this~”, Zhang Lingyi gazed up, silent.

w.a.n.g Guangning waited for half a day for him to continue, then finally impatiently used is elbow to hit his arm, “Stop trying to draw out the climax, say it quickly.”

For once, Zhang Lingyi didn’t know how to express himself, “If I say it, you’re not allowed to explode.”

w.a.n.g Guangning narrowed his eyes, it seemed there was a hidden secret. Pretending he didn’t care, he said, “How could I be so stingy, quickly say it!”

“That…things are like this…” Zhang Lingyi scratched his head, “We’re already in our third year, right, so I thought it was the right time to start dating otherwise after another two years, university would be over and I would’ve missed the golden period…but ever since I was small, I’ve never had a crush on any girl. Originally, I was just going to date Zihui, but then I heard the news about you chasing Yu Haining…”

“f.u.c.k!” w.a.n.g Guangning felt a mouthful of blood blocking his throat, “You deliberately tried to steal Yu Haining from me?” If he dared to say yes, even if he was lying, w.a.n.g Guangning would beat him until he died.

“Oh, I didn’t want to initially. But think about it, you’ve competed with me ever since I entered F University. Although you have always been slightly inferior to me, it still shows that you are very good, so I also believed in your taste…Hey, stop hitting me. This is me complimenting you, alright?”

“f.u.c.k! You dare to say stop hitting you? I’m still so angry, you claim to be on the same level as me, yet I didn’t expect you to have such a vision…”

After arguing and messing around for a while, the two finally stopped.

Still angry, w.a.n.g Guangning ignored Zhang Lingyi.

“Hey, you also tell me. How come you liked Yu Haining~” Zhang Lingyi pretended not to see w.a.n.g Guangning’s anger and elbowed him.

“Hmph!” w.a.n.g Guangning turned his head around in a particularly arrogant yet loveable manner, ignoring Zhang Lingyi.

“Say it~” Zhang xiao cao was especially flattering.

w.a.n.g Guangning still ignored him.

“I’ll exchange a day of being gong with you if you tell me!” Zhang Lingyi struggled to make this decision.

w.a.n.g Guangning’s eyes lit up, “Three days!”

“Two days.” Zhang Lingyi showed an unyielding expression.

“Deal!” w.a.n.g Guangning laughed, his eyes bright.

He already had such an outstanding appearance, and such a smile was very radiant, seeming to expel the coldness of the winter.

Zhang Lingyi heard his heart jumping heavily, and he was suddenly a little nervous.

The turbulence resulted from such a strange emotion caused him to become overwhelmed and he could only quickly divert their attention, “Quickly say it then!”

“Let me think first!” w.a.n.g Guangning stared at the sky from a forty-five degree angle. Only after a long time did her say slowly, “I liked her because she was pure and beautiful.”

“……” Although Zhang Lingyi did not say it, his eyes vividly expressed his utmost contempt.

f.u.c.k!

Pure and beautiful?

Just these two words had cheated his away his ident.i.ty of being gong for two days. He really wanted to shout, “I want a return!”

However, as a real man, he did not end up saying such tasteless words.
