The cinema was crowded in the evening, with Huo Shiyan holding Shen Xinglan's hand in one hand and a bucket of popcorn and two cups of fruit tea in the other.
Shiyan led her through the crowd to their seats, smiling as he asked, "Do you want some fruit tea?"
"Sure." She agreed verbally, but her hand reached for the popcorn.
Huo Shiyan chuckled and shoved the popcorn into her arms, punctured the fruit tea with a straw, and handed it to her before taking the popcorn back.
Shen Xinglan happily accepted, alternating between bites of popcorn and sips of fruit tea.
Huo Shiyan tenderly watched her profile and scanned the front row, spotting a familiar figure.
"Look." Huo Shiyan whispered to Shen Xinglan. Following his gaze, she widened her eyes in surprise.
In the second row beneath them, Shen Xingyao sat upright, Xiu Qingyue at his side.
"Shush." Shiyan chuckled. Was this considered an accidental encounter?
