College life is very fulfilling, with various clubs and guest lectures providing students with opportunities to experience more than just academics. Additionally, campus activities are abundant, including a campus singing competition, followed by sports events, and the highly anticipated New Year's welcome party, which welcomes both the new year and new students.
Moreover, the school auditorium screens movies every week, with tickets costing only five yuan. This week, Xiangyu made plans with Lu Heng to watch a movie at school on Friday. However, she was so busy that she almost forgot about the appointment. Fortunately, Lu Heng reminded her the night before with an excited voice, making Xiangyu feel even more guilty. Xiangyu intentionally chose a light beige jumpsuit for the occasion, paired with a light khaki trench coat and khaki boots, topped off with a beige beret, giving her a fresh and elegant look. After admiring herself in the mirror behind the door, she applied a layer of lipstick her mother had given her during her previous visit. Satisfied with her appearance, she realized it was almost time and hurried out of the dorm building. Lu Heng was already waiting outside, looking even darker and thinner than last week. Seeing him, Xiangyu felt a pang of pity and reached out to link arms with him. "How long have you been waiting?" she asked. Lu Heng blinked at Xiangyu, his eyes fixed on her. "You look beautiful today," he said. Xiangyu lightly pinched Lu Heng's hand, scolding, "Silly." But inside, she felt pleased, smiling shyly as she lowered her head. "Let's grab something to eat first. Our school's halal restaurant serves really good food. Do you want to give it a try?" Lu Heng eagerly nodded.
"Xiangyu, you look beautiful today," Lu Heng said, taking out a lipstick from his pocket and handing it to Xiangyu. "It's such a coincidence. You applied lipstick for me, and I bought lipstick to give to you. We really are on the same wavelength." Xiangyu looked at the small lipstick in her hand, a CD, a very expensive brand. "Where did you get the money to buy such an expensive thing?" Lu Heng didn't know how to respond. "Just use it since it's a gift from me. I saved up for it." Xiangyu stopped walking, grabbing Lu Heng's hand and asking, "Did you save up your nutrition subsidies to buy lipstick and not eat properly?" "No, no," Lu Heng denied somewhat guiltily, "I eat well every day." "I really like it," Xiangyu interrupted him, pulling out a tissue from her bag to wipe off the lipstick on her lips. Then she lightly applied the lipstick Lu Heng had given her and asked, "How does it look?" Lu Heng stared blankly and simply nodded, "It looks very nice, even better than before." Xiangyu then took his hand again and said, "Let's hurry up and eat. Today, you need to eat until you're full, and I'll make sure you do."
The movie being screened today was "Notting Hill," starring the charming Julia Roberts and the dashing Hugh Grant, a lighthearted and romantic film depicting the love story between a Hollywood star and a bookstore owner in Notting Hill. As Xiangyu and Lu Heng watched the romantic story unfold on screen, they also experienced their own love story in reality, feeling satisfied and joyous. When it was time to send Xiangyu home, the two bid farewell under Xiangyu's apartment , feeling a hint of reluctance to part. Lu Heng bent down to embrace Xiangyu, kissing her lips softly at first, then deeply, smudging the lipstick on her lips. They kissed for a long time, reluctant to part, finally resting their foreheads against each other's, smiling foolishly.
