A Girl Conquers the World Through Her Tears
Chapter 35

The crowd was a bit crowded. Lin Jianzhi felt dizzy as she was pulled along to walk forward, with all kinds of strange thoughts popping up in her mind.

She always felt that people around were looking at them, making her extremely nervous!

Fortunately, she soon realized that everyone was actually looking at Zhu Liheng. The sudden appearance of such a handsome guy in the movie theater had caused a minor spectacle.

She looked up again, it was Zhu Liheng's back and shoulders.

Lin Jianzhi's face turned red, her heart almost overflowing with happiness.

She lowered her head to look at their tightly held hands, hidden in the bustling crowd, inconspicuous.

Just holding hands, yet it felt like they were doing something forbidden.

Both thrilling and blissful!

Zhu Liheng kept pulling her along, taking her into the theater.

On the way, Lin Jianzhi suddenly stopped for a few steps.

Zhu Liheng turned back and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lin Jianzhi looked at the lights on the ground and shook her head, "Nothing."

The two let go of each other's hands when looking for seats. As they let go, Lin Jianzhi also felt her heart let go. The tense atmosphere disappeared, replaced by a touch of loss.

After finding their seats, the two sat down and the movie started shortly after.

It was then that Lin Jianzhi realized that this turned out to be a romantic film.

It started out pretty normal - the male and female leads met, all kinds of misunderstandings happened by chance, interspersed with some humorous plots.

Lin Jianzhi laughed along, eating popcorn and drinking soda.

But after half an hour, the atmosphere began to turn weird. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ ɴøvᴇlFɪre.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

The male and female protagonists in the movie...

Started kissing!

Not only that, but it was also in a quiet, dead of the night setting.

The huge screen gave some close-up shots.

Lin Jianzhi's whole face turned bright red!

She could even feel herself emitting heat all over, and Zhu Liheng was sitting so close beside her.

She felt the plot had reached a point where things were kind of awkward between them.

In order to ease the embarrassment, Lin Jianzhi tremblingly tried to reach for her drink to have a few sips.

Who knew, she reached in the wrong direction!

Her drink was on the right side of the cup holder, but she reached out with her left hand.

Her left hand collided with Zhu Liheng's right hand, almost knocking over the drinks!

Lin Jianzhi quickly pulled her hand back as if frightened, and hurriedly grabbed her drink on the right to start chugging it down.

While drinking, she stared straight ahead, trying her best to forget what had just happened.

Just then, a couple sitting in the row in front suddenly hugged and even kissed each other.

At the same time, the movie screen happened to give a close up. The sounds in the theater were already loud to begin with, and most of the audience here were couples.

Lin Jianzhi felt intimate whispers of couples everywhere around her.

In such an atmosphere, she was filled with unease.

Watching a romantic film with her crush, this this this... the ambiguity level was through the roof!

She also wondered what Zhu Liheng's reaction was at the moment?

Lin Jianzhi suddenly became very curious and couldn't help but glance at him from the corner of her eyes.

Who knew, with just one glance, she saw that superior side profile of his, merely a dozen centimeters away from herself.

In fact, if she leaned in slightly, she could kiss him.

In the dark environment, no one would know...

She was going crazy!

More and more thoughts kept popping up in her mind, making her heart race as if it was pounding.

Romantic movies really knew how to set the atmosphere, with that kind of feeling coming one after another.

Lin Jianzhi slumped back in her seat, curling up into a little ball.

Suddenly, Zhu Liheng took a deep breath.

Lin Jianzhi was so scared she immediately sat up straight!

What happened? Why did he need to take a deep breath? Did something happen?

Immediately after, she felt the person next to her lean over.

But he was blocked by the armrest between the seats.

Lin Jianzhi sat there stiffly, not daring to move an inch!

Then she heard Zhu Liheng sigh, and he sat back again.

Lin Jianzhi: "???"

Ah!

She was going mad!

Just then, the little couple in front began again, with occasional giggles from the girl.

Snap!

Suddenly, Zhu Liheng flipped up the armrest that was between them. Turned out it could be lifted.

Lin Jianzhi: "!!!"

She turned to him in horror, and came face to face with Zhu Liheng's approaching face.

Zhu Liheng asked, "Do you like watching this?"

How could Lin Jianzhi answer? She hadn't really paid attention to the plot at all, only knowing that the protagonists were interacting from time to time.

This movie was really...

How could she brazenly say she liked watching it?!

Fortunately, Zhu Liheng seemed to just want to casually chat with her about the movie, and did not make any extra moves.

On the contrary, it was Lin Jianzhi who had thought too much, intoxicated by his pleasant voice.

The bizarre yet intimate atmosphere lingered on for a long time.

Finally the movie ended, and Lin Jianzhi almost died from embarrassment.

The lights in the theater had not fully turned on yet, and people around started getting up to leave.

Lin Jianzhi just wanted to get out of there quickly. She couldn't stay in this atmospheric setting, afraid she might do something reckless in a moment of impulse.

Seeing her get up, Zhu Liheng also stood up.

The floor lights were not turned on, and the steps below were still a bit dark.

Actually, Lin Jianzhi couldn't see clearly, she could only follow the crowd. But on one step, she suddenly missed it!

"Ah!"

She let out a soft cry.

The next second, the person next to her suddenly pulled her into an embrace, her whole body enveloped.

The voice was right by her ear, "Do you have night blindness?"

When they entered earlier, Zhu Liheng had noticed that Lin Jianzhi had to look down very carefully with each step. In the visible light that normal people could see, she only saw darkness.

Lin Jianzhi was completely nestled in Zhu Liheng's arms, her forehead pressed against his shoulder. She felt the hot breath by her ear.

She quietly buried her face down low, her voice as soft as a mosquito buzz, "Yeah."

Then, Zhu Liheng's arms tightened around her as he walked her out.

Lin Jianzhi's whole body trembled, unable to control the emergence of various movie scenes in her mind.

How did they suddenly end up hugging each other like this?

The smell in their breaths was so strong.

It wasn't until they walked out of the theater that Zhu Liheng let go of her. Lin Jianzhi didn't dare look up either, and had no idea what to say or do now. She just kept her head low all the way out of the movie theater and into the car.

Zhu Liheng was silent the whole time as he quietly drove the car.

Lin Jianzhi secretly glanced at him a few times, both expectant and nervous, with thoughts filled of the hand-holding and embrace from earlier.

Didn't you feel anything after watching the movie?

Would something continue from this?

It was past 11 pm, and the streets of Yanching City were very spacious. But Lin Jianzhi was reluctant for the night to end just yet...

She still felt a hint of unfinished business...

Zhu Liheng remained silent as he drove all the way to the hotel parking lot where they were staying.

Lin Jianzhi kept her head low. "Thank you for driving me back."

She had just opened the car door to get out.

Zhu Liheng suddenly said, "Lin Jianzhi."

"Huh?" Lin Jianzhi looked over in shock.

Her hand was still resting on the car door, not knowing whether to push it open or put it down.

Zhu Liheng looked at her calmly, "How long will you be staying in Yanching?"

Lin Jianzhi's heart raced faster, "Three days."

Actually there were only two more days left. The plan after tomorrow was to leave this place and travel to other cities.

She had lied.
