The Optics Valley is very lively on Christmas Eve. Every business door is hung with colorful lanterns. Santa Claus has already been placed at the door of the Duomo Cathedral in the center of the Italian style street. Children hawking along the street are holding roses. It is a festive holiday.

The atmosphere permeated the faces of young men and women.

"Brother, give your sister a bouquet of roses."

A little girl with a round face timidly grabbed the corner of Gu Yun's clothes, looking pitiful.

"Sister, I have received a very big bouquet of roses today, thank you, honey."

Zhong Leyi held down Gu Yun's hand to express her refusal, touched the little girl's head, and two small pear dimples appeared at the corners of her mouth.

The little girl selling roses went to look for the next couple. Countless Christmas Eves for countless couples, countless hormones evaporated and rose on special days.

When he walked to the door of the milk tea shop, Gu Yun thought of something: "Do you want to drink milk tea?"

Zhong Leyi, who has always loved sweets, nodded like a rattle.

“Less ice or normal ice?”

The question here seems very natural. If you deliberately ask a girl if she can have an ice drink, it would be a bit too much.

"As long as there is less ice, we will have hot hot pot later. Too much contrast can easily spoil your stomach."

As expected, Zhong Leyi didn't react and was still mentally planning the feast she was waiting for.

OK, I can drink iced drinks, it’s not a big problem.

This wave has stabilized.

After packing two cups of milk tea, Gu Yun led Zhong Leyi to a hot pot restaurant. Zhong Leyi was a typical food addict. She obviously wasn't that good at eating chili peppers, but she was proud of this one.

In fact, no matter how beautiful, aloof, or different girls are, they are all the same when they fall in love. They love to eat, make fun, and laugh in front of the boy they love, and they also love to hug their boyfriend like a koala.

When eating hot pot, we have to sit in the same row, and when our boyfriend is playing on his mobile phone, he has to lean over and watch.

"Stop playing and chat with me."

Zhong Leyi shook Gu Yun's arm and pouted.

"You know, our teacher is really strict in class. He leaves so many homework assignments and writes reading notes."

"oh."

"There is a boy in the next class who chases my roommate Yu Tian, ​​but she thinks he is too chauvinistic and wants to take advantage of our old bj."

"oh."

"My mother asked me on the phone a few days ago if I had a boyfriend, and I told her that I did."

"Um...what did you say?"

Gu Yun was originally dealing with these trivial matters in school casually, but he suddenly realized when he heard these words. What is going on? Have you told your parents?

Doesn’t that mean my parents also need to know?

Turning his head and meeting Zhong Leyi's teasing gaze, Gu Yun realized that he had been teased.

"Ah, that's good. I'll buy some gifts when I get home during the Chinese New Year."

Gu Yun reacted quickly and immediately gave the best answer: "Then what did your mother say? Did she ask you to take your son-in-law home right away? As the saying goes, the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, and the more she looks at her, the more she likes him. By then you will fall out of favor."

"You think so, I won't tell my mother so early."

Zhong Leyi's cheeks turned red from being teased. She turned around and picked out a piece of beef from the red bottom of the Yuanyang pot, dipped it in some of the ingredients in her bowl, and then went through the motions in the chili seasoning: "Taste mine.

Exclusive recipe, delicious.”

Gu Yun looked at the red piece of millet and pepper on it, and a certain part of him, who was not good at eating spicy food, suddenly tightened.

Forget it, if a beautiful woman is kind to you, just eat it.

Gu Yun gritted his teeth and opened his mouth to eat this piece of beef. A spicy smell spread from the tip of his nose to the tip of his tongue and back to the tip of his nose, like a chase battle with his taste buds. But when he tasted it carefully, the pepper mixed with pepper

The deep-seated power of chili penetrates into the senses through the gaps, turning into beads of sweat, drop after drop.

"Hold!"

Gu Yun muttered silently in his mind that he shouldn't overdo it this time, and quickly found some tea and drank it in a big gulp.

Zhong Leyi was smiling at the side. She also picked up a piece of meat as it was, but deliberately did not dip it in the chili seasoning. She looked innocent and said, "This is not very spicy."

Gu Yun ate the green vegetables in the clear soup pot, thinking, just wait for me, thirty years from Hedong, thirty years from Hexi, don't bully young people into poverty.

It will be nice to see you till night.

After the two finished eating the hot pot, Zhong Leyi asked to watch a movie.

"We went to watch "The Girl We Chased Together". It is said to be very good-looking and has a high rating on Douban."

Gu Yun obediently went to the counter to buy movie tickets. Zhong Leyi had no difficulty in choosing in front of the big screen, and still wanted to watch a youth movie.

In the evening movie theater on Christmas Eve, most of the people around Optics Valley were probably gathered around. Gu Yun squeezed out of the crowd, holding two packs of tissues in his hand.

"Why are you buying paper towels?"

"Emmmm...Tissues are standard when watching romance movies. What if you cry later?"

"Tch, I won't cry!"

The movie was about to start, and the crowd started to get crowded after checking in. As soon as she stepped into Hall 5, Zhong Leyi was staggered by the crowd. She immediately wanted to reach out and grab something to steady her body, but she was surrounded by a pair of strong hands behind her.

.

Looking back, Gu Yun's whole body was wrapped around her, and her nose was filled with the fresh smell of Gu Yun's washing powder.

Amidst the crowds of people, the two people just staggered forward holding each other, tightly relying on each other.

This is indeed the case. Why do lovers come to the cinema to celebrate a festival?

Wouldn't it be the same to lie on the sofa at home and project it on a big screen?

Thinking back to the lengthy answer on Zhihu to "Why should I spend money to go to the cinema to watch a movie?", the Dolby surround sound giant screen effect to empathize with the audience... it's all meaningless.

What's really important is that in the dim light where they can't see each other clearly, the edge of the corner of the last row of the screening room gives people a faint feeling of a dark room, as if some subtle emotions are growing and taking root in their hearts.

A gentleman does not bully the darkroom.

But I don't want to be a gentleman.

The two people quietly sat down in the back row. Gu Yun raised the middle armrest to the highest position, so there was no longer any barrier.

For Gu Yun, this is a movie with no suspense. He knows the ending from the beginning, knows every plot in it, and understands every character in it. Like all people who are moved, he just wants to find out in it.

Look for yourself and find those parts of your life that are lost in the best times.

There is a Shen Jiayi in every boy's heart. Her name was dragged out by a past love for eight long years, and was brought to the big screen and in front of countless audiences, representing the person in their hearts who has not been wasted by reality.

, a place that has not been destroyed by the world.

The music of "Those Years" played, and Zhong Leyi beside her silently used up a pack of tissues.

Gu Yun didn't hand her the second package, but directly kissed her eyes.

Anyway, when it comes to love, if you are not serious, not brave, afraid of getting hurt and not decisive, no matter how many people love you, the story will always end unfinished. It is better to keep the passion in the movie.

, marching into battle with a brisk pace.

Because the road ahead is long, full of ups and downs and darkness at any time. If you don’t shine, how can that person see you?
