Chapter 119: It Seems Your Hand Has Warmth Now
Oh my god, I have completely lost my composure! I am literally shrieking right now—this is just too sweet!
I used to think Gu Zhenzhi was a master of flirtation, but now I realize Ruan Cha is even better. An accidental stumble, an accidental closeness, and an accidental brush against his throat—no man could possibly withstand that!
The moment Gu Zhenzhi heard Ruan Cha’s words, fireworks went off in his mind with a deafening boom.
His breathing turned ragged, his heart raced, and his self-control slipped further away with every passing second.
His gaze darkened.
As he lowered his head, he met the girl’s eyes, which were misted with a faint, playful smile. His heart skipped a beat.
It felt as though all the air had been sucked out of the space around them.
Gu Zhenzhi swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing twice.
His throat felt parched.
The two were mere inches apart.
The temperature in the air seemed to rise by several degrees.
Ruan Cha sensed the sudden rigidity in Gu Zhenzhi’s body.
She pinched his fingers, whispering, "Brother Zhizhi, your hands seem to have warmed up~"
As she spoke, she raised their hands, which had been hidden and tightly intertwined beneath the seat, exposing them completely to the camera.
The moment their fingers, locked in a lover's grip, were revealed:
The live comments exploded:
"Ahhhhh! I’m dying, somebody save me! They are way too sweet!!"
"My mouth is stretched so wide I think it’s going to reach my temples—oh my god, this is an absolute sugar overdose!"
***
Help, help! They are so sweet and cute, I really can't handle this!
...
Watching Ruan Cha lift their joined hands, Gu Zhenzhi immediately pulled his hand back, breaking their grip. "Rest for a moment, we’re almost there."
Only then did Ruan Cha obediently close her eyes. She curled up on the car seat, shifting and shuffling for a long time before resting her head on Gu Zhenzhi’s lap, finally drifting off to sleep, satisfied.
Gu Zhenzhi looked out the window.
His slender, jade-like fingers drifted unconsciously toward the spot on his throat that Ruan Cha’s lips had grazed just moments before.
He stroked the area lightly and absentmindedly.
It was as if, by doing so, he could still feel the touch of those lips.
Soft and warm.
...
When the car arrived at the cinema, Ruan Cha and Gu Zhenzhi had just stepped out when they saw another production crew vehicle pull up behind them.
Soon after, Xirui Ke and Sheng He walked over, side by side.
Xirui Ke shot a provocative look at Gu Zhenzhi.
He never would have expected this.
He had just copied Gu Zhenzhi’s entire dating plan!
Gu Zhenzhi didn't care about them in the slightest, and Ruan Cha’s attention was entirely focused on Gu Zhenzhi, so Xirui Ke’s look—which he thought was incredibly arrogant—went completely unnoticed.
No one paid him any mind.
***
Xirui Ke’s heart shattered into pieces.
In the end, it was just a one-man show...
After entering the cinema, Gu Zhenzhi went to collect their tickets. With time running short, the two went straight to check in.
Xirui Ke and Sheng He followed closely behind them.
Five minutes later, the movie officially began.
Ruan Cha looked up at the big screen with wide, expectant eyes.
As the music slowly began to swell, Ruan Cha heard:
"Spring has arrived, and all things are waking up. On the vast African savanna, it is once again the season for animals to breed..."
Ruan Cha’s once-bright, round eyes gradually went blank.
Xirui Ke and Sheng He, who had just sat down ready to watch a blockbuster sci-fi epic, saw herds of cattle, rhinos, and ostriches appearing on the screen one after another. They stood up in silent, mutual agreement and walked out without a moment’s hesitation.
Hearing the commotion behind him, Gu Zhenzhi glanced sideways at Ruan Cha.
The girl had already bent over, crouching low as she began to sneakily crawl away along the empty aisle...
"Where are you going?"
Gu Zhenzhi stretched out his long arm, leaned over, and grabbed the girl’s slender ankle...
