After the swimming pool event, Shou Ren bought a lot of plants to be deliver to this place. With those tall plants, he can cover the view and have some shade. Li Tong is wondering why is he buying so much plants for the pool. When the pool guys come over to clean the pool, he have LI Tong go to the market to get things for the apartment. Or the day that she goes to school.
The day Li Tong finds a near empty fridge, she packs up her recycled bags and prepare to leave the house. Shou Ren runs out of his room and says that he needs to get something so he is bring her out wherever she wants to go. They got into the elevator.
"Do you want to go supermarket or the market?"
"Where do you usually get those things?"
"Depends but what do you want to get?"
Shou Ren crack his head for an answer he then sees the poster behind her.
"Ice cream. I am dying for some ice cream."
"Well you can tell me. You don't need to follow. What brand do you want?"
"That's the problem. I am fussy. So it is better i come along."
At the supermarket, Shou Ren push the cart to follow her. She knows what she wants to get and where to find them. She did not forget his ice cream, it takes him a long time to choose one. After paying for it, they walk out with the bags in their hands. She spot a movie that she wanted to watch and stand infront of the poster for awhile. "Do you want to watch? We can come back later to watch it."
"No it will come on TV ..."
"That will be 2 years later. Come on it will be my treat."
She look at him with delight and they walk to a self buying machine. Unfortunately most of the tickets are sold only left mid night and front left seats available.
"Let's watch another day with center seats. It's too front. I will be staring at the actor's nose."
They choose another date and purchase the tickets. She skip to the car with the bag of food in hand. After getting into the car, she keeps looking at the tickets. Before Shou Ren starts the car, she blurt out loud "So this coming Tuesday will be our movie date!" Shou Ren got a shock and accidentally press on the horn. She got started too and look at him. Shou Ren clear his throat and nod his head repeatedly and start the car. Her face got red and turn on the radio.
Back home, they put away the things they have purchase and each goes back their rooms. Shou Ren when close the door, he lean back and smile. "She is so cute" While Li Tong is frustrated at what she had said. "He probably thinks i am a hilly billy who haven't been on a movie." Unhappy, she takes out her violin from her violin case and play a fast music note in her little space.
On the day of the movie, they enter the theatre with food and drink. As the movie goes on, he notice that she is shivering. Shou Ren push up the divider between them. He place his arm on her right side and push her near him. He whisper in her ears"If your hands are cold put them in my pocket." What he meant was his pockets of the coat. Instead she dig her little hand into his pants. He is started for awhile. Looking around if anyone is staring but of course they are in the dark theater no one can see except the faces. Li Tong is leaning onto his chest watching the movie. For a while, she is comfortable with the warm body that she is leaning on. After awhile she can hear that his heart is beating fast. She look up to see him watching the movie. She wants to remove her hand from his pocket but it makes him feels uncomfortable as her chest keep rubbing on his side. For a while she try to get her hand out finally she gives up and watch the movie without moving much. After the movie end, we stand up and she can remove her hand. Massaging her own hand while walking behind Shou Ren, she nearly hit onto other people. In the end, Shou Ren have to hold her by the shoulder and walk. They did not talk even though they reach the apartment. Instead, each say good night and disappear in their own room.
Inside her own little room, she stare at her desk infront of her bed. There is an apple and orange on it. "We are different people like apple and orange. Dont think too much, Li Tong!" She put the cover over her head. While Shou Ren is trying to hold down his own feelings and erection. He stands in the cold shower breathing in and out. Her hand in his pocket while in the theater had nearly waken up his monster. He was busy trying to suppress it and wishing the movie will end soon. That's why he was walking and driving fasting than usual. Walking out to his bed, he slump down the bed. "Goggle! Music!" classical music is played. He groan. "Goggle rock music" the music switch. He sing to it and roll around his bed. He mumble in his breath 'how am i suppose to sleep with him swollen. God! Help' Shou Ren continue to roll around and get off bed. He tried to do push up and sit up. Dragging his tired body, he stare down his member. He gives up and goes to bed. In his dreams are endless and he wakes up with panda eyes.
At the table, his breakfast cum lunch box is ready. Li Tong is already cooking for her own lunch for the afternoon class. He clear his throat as he walk out. "Good morning Mr Tian." She did not sound like her chippy greetings but she still smile. "Morning." He open the fridge and look for fruit juice. He spots apples and oranges on the glass bowl on the counter. He cut them up and put it in the blender. Li Tong who is watching him ask "Do you think they can be mixed?"
"Why not? They are the best when together."
She open her eyes wider and push up her glasses. Indeed apple and orange always looks good together . She smile as she cook her lunch. While Shou Ren drags his feet to the main door. "Don't forget your lunch box!" She comes running with the bag and accidentally push him to the door. Her head lands on his chest and left her makeup powder on his black shirt. She try to dust it but he catch her hand. "It's ok. As long as you are not injured it's fine. Don't be so clumsy in class as well. Not everyone is like me." Her glasses had slide down her nose while looking at him. Shou Ren push it up gently. They stand up straight and wave goodbye. She close the door and lean on it. She smile and hum a tune as she walk to the kitchen. While Shou Ren is tired but he is happy. He look at the powder stain on his shirt in his car mirror. He is not mad at all. He is happy it is there.
