Chapter 692: Youthfulness and Longing

onverging into a dark cloud on the horizon, were the prelude to a raging storm. 。。"In front of me, Teacher Cheng is like Yama, the god of hell. And in the picture, Zhuo Yu'an is also like Yama. I can'...Although Tinglan didn't have the courage to fall in love early, wasn't every young girl a little infatuated

After her parents left, she quietly retreated back to her room. From the closet, she secretly took out the dresses she never got the chance to wear, carefully laying them out on her bed. One by one, she tried them on in front of the mirror, her heart filled with a little bit of excitement as she looked at herself reflected back. The girl had rosy lips and white teeth, her eyes sparkling with a smile. She looked familiar yet different.

Actually, she has many beautiful dresses, all bought for her by her father or mother when they were on business trips. She just hasn't had the chance to wear them. Although it is November, the weather in Qining at this time is warm enough to wear a single layer.

Finally, she quietly chose a dress with a slightly collegiate style. It was both youthful and feminine, paired with canvas shoes, making her radiate charm.

Zuo Yu'an didn't know if she would come. He had asked her in class before, but she hadn't given a clear answer.

But he still waited for her at the entrance of the cinema early, just in case, what if she came

A youthful boy, with clear and bright eyebrows and eyes, and three-dimensional features that are neatly arranged. He is wearing a white shirt and jeans, carrying a backpack on one shoulder, standing at the entrance of the cinema, attracting everyone's attention. From time to time, passing girls glance at him, and even some bold girls come over to ask for his contact information.

"Sorry, I'll wait for you."

When he refused someone, he would politely distance himself without making the other person feel embarrassed. It was a rare level of sophistication and politeness for someone so young.

When Tinglan reached the cinema entrance, she saw him just as he was when he refused others. The closer she got to him, the more uneasy she felt. She should have waited for Cheng Chen to come together, it was all her fault for being so eager to rush over.

It was as if they shared a telepathic connection, just moments ago, Zhuo had been aloof and rejected everyone...

Yu An suddenly turned his head and saw her. His eyes seemed to stop for a moment, and the tips of his ears began to flush ever so slightly.

She stood there, radiant in a flowing dress just like the first time they met. The light emanating from her was dazzling, captivating his gaze. He tightened his grip on his shoulder bag and walked towards her.

Hearing him approach, Tinglan's heart pounded despite there being no connection between them. Her voice trembled almost uncontrollably.

"Well, Lu Kuo went to pick up Cheng Chen."

"Hmm." The feeling of his heart being struck directly left Zhu Yu'an momentarily speechless, like a bewildered boy who didn't know what to say.

Two people walked side by side from the doorway into the hall.

"Want some popcorn" Zhuo Yu'an finally found a topic to talk about.

Tinglan nodded gently, "Okay." In her heart, she was hoping that Cheng Chen and Lu Kuai would appear soon. Otherwise, she felt a bit like wanting to run away before the show started. Looking at his back as he bought popcorn at the counter, her heart was about to jump out of her chest.

When Zhuo Yu'an came over, he not only had a bucket of popcorn in his hand but also two cups of cola.

Ting Lan took the popcorn and held it to her chest. Having something in her hands, at least, could distract her a little. The oppressive feeling wasn't as strong.

We waited for a while, the movie was about to start, but Lu Kuo and Cheng Chen hadn't arrived yet.

"Come in. Lu Kuo texted that he couldn't make it, and Cheng Chen's family won't let her out."

"They aren't coming" Tinglan heard this and didn't really want to go either. It felt kind of awkward just her and Zhuo Yúan watching together, what if they ran into classmates or parents She wouldn't know how to explain it.

"Don't want to watch" Zhuo Yu'an saw the disappointment in her eyes after hearing that Cheng Chen wouldn't be coming, and he respected her decision.

Look.

She wasn't disappointed, just nervous. It was her first time going to the movies alone with a boy, who wouldn't be nervous

Two people checked their tickets and entered.

This movie was chosen by Lu Kuò, and it definitely suits his taste. It's a particularly absurd and funny film.

From time to time, bursts of laughter could be heard in the cinema. However, only Ting Lan and Zhuo Yuān sat side-by-side without a smile on their faces.

Because both of their minds weren't on the movie at all, they were focused on each other.

Ting Lan picked up popcorn one by one and popped them into her mouth. Beside her, Zhuo Yu an sipped cola through a straw, taking small sips. This was his first time drinking carbonated beverages, and it tasted much better than he had imagined.

He took a few sips and then put it down on the drink holder.

But Tinglan had eaten too much popcorn and was feeling a little thirsty, so she naturally picked up the drink and took a sip, unaware that it was the same bottle Zhu Yu'an had just finished drinking from.

Zuo Yu'an wanted to stop her, but it was too late. He saw her sucking on the straw he had just used, taking large satisfied sips.

Zuo Yu'an felt his throat dry and his heart racing. The youthful fire within him burned with a maddening intensity, the more he tried to extinguish it, the hotter it blazed, threatening to consume him entirely.

When Tinglan set down her drink halfway through, she suddenly realized that her own bottle was on the other side. She had been drinking from Zhuo Yunan's.

She stole a glance at him, seeing that he was sitting upright, his eyes fixed on the screen before him. Taking advantage of his distraction, Tinglan secretly swapped their drinks, thinking she had done it without a sound.

Even poked Zhuo Yu'an on the arm, "Why aren't you drinking your drink"

At first, Zhuo Yunan was flustered with excitement. But when he saw her little gesture, he found himself charmed by her cuteness. He readily took the cup of drink and sipped it.

His

His lips looked very good, and his profile was stunning too. As he sipped through the straw, it happened to be a silent scene in the movie. The entire cinema was uncharacteristically quiet. Tinglan could even hear the very faint sound of him swallowing as he drank. Tinglan's face flushed red, and then she suddenly remembered that she had probably sucked from the same cup just now.

This...she suddenly remembered a line from the idol drama she was watching recently: indirect kiss.

"Heavens... how could she possibly think that"

Ashamed and embarrassed, it's all the idol dramas' fault.

The entire two-hour movie passed with her lost in thought. She didn't hear any of the dialogue, and even after leaving the theater, she couldn't remember the name of the film.

She drank more than a cup of fizzy drink, and the popcorn was also unconsciously eaten by her almost completely.

As the two walked from the cinema all the way to the square outside, Tinglan suddenly let out a burp, the aftereffect of drinking too much carbonated beverages.

It felt like her throat muscles were spasming. She tried to control it, but she couldn't. Every few seconds, she'd hiccup, her face turning beet red in front of Zhuo Yu'an. It was so embarrassing, it felt like the Pacific Ocean wasn't big enough to contain it.

"See... uhm... see you later..." She just wanted to get away from his gaze as quickly as possible. After saying goodbye, she grabbed her bag and ran out in a flustered retreat.

Unbeknownst to her, as she turned, an electric scooter zipped past her. Behind her, Zhuo YUAN grabbed her arm just in time, narrowly avoiding the scooter.

She was pulled into Zhuo Yu'an's arms as if by a current. Startled, her hiccups became even worse, burying her face in his chest and each one making her tremble uncontrollably.

Zhuo Yu'an held her tightly and showed no intention of letting go. However, since she hadn't hiccupped at all, Zhuo Yu'an gently patted her back.

Back.

This went on for several times, and after how long she couldn't tell, she finally stopped hiccuping, but her face was red as can be.ty, she didn't intend to abandon Zhou Ming and run away first. It was because Zhuo Y uan had said there would be a surprise waiting for her when she got home in the morning on her way to work. 。She w...
