"I braved the rain that day, it was heavy rain, you know? I wanted to confess to her downstairs in her dormitory, thinking that she would be tempted."
"Then what?"
"She called my mother! My mother took me and talked with the class teacher for almost a month, saying that high school should focus on the college entrance examination and not fall in love prematurely. The whole school knew about it. I really..."
"Well, you really have to consider your grades in your senior year of high school at that time. I reckon this is the fourteenth time you have failed to confess your love. Are there any more in the future?"
Qiu Yuan found a napkin and handed it to Bai Xingchuan beside him. Now Bai Xingchuan no longer lived up to the arrogance he had when he met Qiu Yuan.
Qiu Yuan is a very qualified listener. Bai Xingchuan became more and more sad as he recounted his journey of pursuing Lin Wanxiang. When he finished speaking, his eyes were already red.
He still wanted to save face, and he really couldn't do it in front of so many people, losing control and crying.
But that was about it. He didn't refuse the napkin handed over by Qiu Yuan. He said "thank you" in a low voice and wiped away his tears again.
"No, I also have self-esteem. After that time in high school, I swore that if I confess to that woman again, I will be a dog! I will wait until she realizes that she has lost me before she comes to me again!" Bai Xingchuan said angrily.
"Then what?"
"She just forgot about me!"
Bai Xingchuan's words were really heartbreaking to hear. Qiu Yuan felt that if he were a little girl, he might have been crying until the pear blossoms were raining with rain.
"After being divided into two campuses, she wouldn't come to me at all if I didn't go to her. When I send messages, she always replies 'I understand' and 'oh'." Bai Xingchuan said, the more uncomfortable he became, "Why?"
Ah, I’ve known her for so long, why can’t we even chat on WeChat?”
It’s not that it’s impossible, but Wanxiang girl doesn’t know how to use WeChat at all. Girl… No, brother, if you write a letter to Wanxiang girl, she might reply. If it takes a long time to write, maybe you two will become friends?
"Have you never considered finding another girlfriend?"
Qiu Yuan took out another napkin and gave it to Bai Xingchuan. After wiping one napkin, he replaced it with the next one. He really looked like a little girl, but his movements were still relatively normal.
"I have thought about it, why haven't I thought about it! There will be many seniors who are interested in me when I enter school, and many female classmates in the same class will want to chase me." Bai Xingchuan's sobbing eased a little when he said this.
Maybe he found some self-respect or dignity as a man here.
Bai Xingchuan's appearance is indeed very good. Such handsome and sunny guys are very popular and sought-after in all major universities. Logically speaking, it is impossible for Bai Xingchuan to not find a girlfriend in four years of university.
"Then did you find it?" Qiu Yuan felt like Lu Yu who had a date with Lu Yu. He probably would have said, 'Really? I don't believe it' in his next sentence.
But Bai Xingchuan's answer was also unusually true.
"I thought about it, but we didn't talk about it for long and I couldn't talk about it anymore," Bai Xingchuan said.
"Why can't we continue talking?"
"Because they are not as beautiful as Xiao Wan." Bai Xingchuan's words were heartbreaking.
"When I talk to them, I always compare them with Xiao Wan, you know? Lin Wanxiang, since we have known each other since we were ten years old, I thought that all girls should look like her, but... I didn't...
The only women I've seen in ten years who are prettier than Xiao Wan, apart from my sister, are some celebrities."
This is a worry that Qiu Yuan will never have in this life!
If you think about it carefully, Bai Xingchuan's statement actually makes sense. When you have been following a beautiful girl with perfect looks since you were a child, you may be able to look at girls with only eight or nine points of looks after you stay for a long time.
It's hard to accept.
Maybe when Bai Xingchuan was trying to find some new girlfriends in college, all he could think about was comparing his new girlfriend to Lin Wanxiang.
As a result, they couldn't compare with each other, and they broke up unhappy.
This brother is acting like a licking dog and a devil.
After listening to his journey, Qiu Yuan had only one final comment: Brother, give me your sister's contact information!
It's a pity that Qiu Yuan didn't have this opportunity, because Lin Wanxiang had already returned to the two of them with the movie tickets.
"What's wrong with you?" Lin Wanxiang noticed that Bai Xingchuan's eyes were red now, as if he had cried a lot.
Bai Xingchuan choked up and didn't know how to answer. He didn't expect that he would break down in such a public place, but Qiu Yuan took the first step and gave him a step down.
"We just went next door and bought two chicken steaks. This brother ate too quickly and choked on the chili pepper, don't you think so?" Qiu Yuan said.
Bai Xingchuan glanced at Qiu Yuan gratefully and nodded quickly.
Although Lin Wanxiang was curious about where they bought the chicken steak, she didn't care too much now because the movie she wanted to watch was about to start.
"I have three movie tickets here. Because one of them was purchased as an extra, it is not for consecutive seats." Lin Wanxiang showed the three movie tickets in her hand to Qiu Yuan and Bai Xingchuan.
She was asking Qiu Yuan and Bai Xingchuan what to do about this matter.
Qiu Yuan and Bai Xingchuan looked at each other and could see each other's thoughts.
This time Qiu Yuan and he went out entirely because of Lin Wanxiang, so when watching the movie, he couldn't sit with the girl Wanxiang, but sat alone in the cinema like an outsider. That movie
will be meaningless.
And the most painful thing is that I have to endure Wanxiang girl and another person kissing me in the cinema.
Although Lin Wanxiang would never do this, it was unbearable! The man's possessiveness arose from Bai Xingchuan's heart at this moment.
There was actually another reason why Bai Xingchuan couldn't fall in love during college, and that was that when he thought about his childhood sweetheart, who he had been chasing for almost ten years, acting coquettishly in the arms of another man, he felt a tightness in his chest!
So Bai Xingchuan must hold the seat next to Wanxiang!
"Xiao Wan, let me sit down..."
"Let's draw lots." Qiu Yuan directly interrupted Bai Xingchuan's suggestion and said.
"Okay, draw lots."
There was a smile on Lin Wanxiang's face. She had actually made this decision early on, and she was just asking for the opinions of Qiu Yuan and Bai Xingchuan in a symbolic way.
So Lin Wanxiang reversed the order of the three movie tickets and gave them to Qiu Yuan and Bai Xingchuan to draw.
"You first?" Qiu Yuan made a gesture of invitation.
"I'll go first!" Bai Xingchuan was not afraid. He took one movie ticket from Lin Wanxiang's hand, and Qiu Yuan took the second one.
"There are 13 seats in six rows. Xiaowan and I are together."
Bai Xingchuan waved the bill in his hand as if to show off, but he knew that Wanxiang bought the seats in the sixth row first.
"What a coincidence, I am a 14-seat passenger in six rows."
Qiu Yuan also shook the bill in his hand, and Bai Xingchuan's original expression of 'I have won' instantly froze in place.
"This... Xiaowan, why don't you let him change with you?" Bai Xingchuan took the subway to Optics Valley early in the morning not just to watch literary movies with men!
"The movie has started, that's it. If you want to discuss the plot, we can discuss it after watching it." Lin Wanxiang glanced at the ticket with 10 rows and 13 seats in her hand. The movie had already started for almost five minutes.
Lin Wanxiang has wanted to watch this movie for a long time, and she doesn't want to miss the exciting parts of the movie because of these minor disputes.
"Resign yourself to your fate, brother, in her heart you are not as important as the plot of a movie."
Qiu Yuan saw the back of Lin Wanxiang walking towards the screening room, patted Bai Xingchuan on the shoulder and followed him towards the screening room.
Finally, Qiu Yuan, who was sitting in the screening room, leaned his body as much as possible on the left side, while Bai Xingchuan leaned his body as much as possible on the right side. Bai Xingchuan had a completely hopeless expression on his face.
He actually fantasized about being able to change seats or something after entering the screening room.
As a result, two couples sat next to Lin Wanxiang, a couple on the left and a couple on the right.
Bai Xingchuan asked bravely, but he was shot back.
"Don't be sad. I got a movie ticket for nothing. It's still very satisfying. Can't you eat the popcorn?" Qiu Yuan tried his best to enlighten this young man who looked like he wanted to die.
"Don't think about it, this movie is boring... I might as well sleep while watching this." Bai Xingchuan waved his hand to express that he really had no appetite for the popcorn.
"Boring? I remember, didn't this movie just come out?"
Qiu Yuan took a look at the receipt. The name of the movie was "Train to Winter", a very standard literary love movie, that's why so many young couples came to watch it.
But to be honest, not many people came to see it. The cinema in Optics Valley would be full every show as long as it showed good-looking movies, but this time, only less than half of the people were seated.
I checked this movie before Qiu Yuan came here and found out that it had just been released today.
"Because the screenwriter of this movie is my mother, Bai Ya, have you heard of it? She is the screenwriter of "Old Friend from a Distance"." Bai Xingchuan became a little more energetic when talking about his family background.
Now, give me your mother’s contact information!
"Never heard of it." Qiu Yuan really had no impression.
"It's normal that I haven't heard of it. My mother only wrote a few popular movies, and in the past few years, the box office of her movies has been increasing. I told her that this kind of vague literary and artistic movies can't make money.
At the box office, I'm afraid this movie will also be a big hit. Recently, my family is so poor that I have to go out to work part-time. Alas... why am I complaining to you about this? I fell asleep. Please call me when the time comes."
Qiu Yuan glanced at Bai Xingchuan. He really closed his eyes and started to take a nap in the cinema.
This is a textbook-level operation for a straight man.
Lin Wanxiang specially came to watch this movie at the premiere today, which shows that she is a die-hard fan of the screenwriter Bai Ya.
Being a die-hard fan means that no matter how artistic or confusing a movie your mom writes, she will most likely like it.
The reason why Wanxiang invited so many people to watch the movie is that she wanted to discuss the plot of the movie with people while watching or after watching it.
Wanxiang girl is not allowed to discuss it while watching it now. After watching it, she is definitely looking forward to discussing her feelings about the movie with her two male classmates.
"Can you at least let me finish the popcorn?" Qiu Yuan said, looking at this literary movie that made people confused from the beginning.
