Lin Jianzhi felt the temperature of the air around her rising, every pore of her skin was giving off heat, as if she had entered a heating jar and was being roasted.
And the reason that made her feel this way was because Zhu Liheng was getting closer and closer.
She was so sensitive now that she could jump up at the slightest sound!
Zhu Liheng also seemed to feel the tension of the person next to him, but he didn't move away because of it. Instead, he reached out his hand...
Lin Jianzhi shuddered directly!
Who would have thought, Zhu Liheng just handed over the dessert on the table.
Lin Jianzhi: "......"
It was a strawberry ice cream.
She ate it in small mouthfuls, afraid to look at the person next to her.
Zhu Liheng supported himself with one hand and looked at her from the side, asking: "What are you hiding from?"
Lin Jianzhi: "!!!"
Zhu Liheng's eyes swept over her hair, down to her drooping eyes that kept trembling.
"Look at me," he seemed to command.
Lin Jianzhi was about to cry. She forced herself to lift her face and make a normal human expression.
It was just polite eye contact, chatting, talking.
Why was she so afraid?
She made a series of mental preparations and looked up nervously at Zhu Liheng.
His eyes were really bright, so bright that even in such dim light, they were still very spirited.
But...
He was too close!
So close that in his eyes, Lin Jianzhi could even see her own reflection.
She felt hot all over again, and her cheeks were incredibly red.
Zhu Liheng stared at her and asked, "Where do you want to go later?"
When dating, chasing girls, what should you do?
He came in a hurry and didn't do his homework. He could only ask Lin Jianzhi for her opinion on the spot.
Lin Jianzhi's mind was completely blank without any plans. She was even more nervous and couldn't think of anything. She was almost blown crazy by the smell of Zhu Liheng surrounding her, losing her ability to think.
Moreover, Zhu Liheng's voice was so close and soft, tingling her ear like a feather tickling her.
She really felt like she was going crazy!
Seeing that she couldn't speak, Zhu Liheng simply made the decision directly: "Then let's go see a movie."
Lin Jianzhi lowered her head again: "Okay."
Zhu Liheng said, "Let's go, I'll pay the bill first, you check on your phone to see what movie you want to watch."
He hadn't watched a movie for a long time and wasn't sure what new films were currently showing.
Lin Jianzhi followed him with her head down. At the same time, she quickly took out her phone to check.
At the front desk, the smiling waiter reported the amount: "Sir, your total consumption is eight hundred, let me scan you."
Zhu Liheng very naturally took out his mobile phone to pay.
But Lin Jianzhi was stunned beside him!
How could it be so expensive?
There were only two people, not many dishes, how could they spend eight hundred yuan?
For Lin Jianzhi, who had just graduated from high school, this was unbelievable.
And when she thought of her previous words in the car, boastfully saying that she would treat him, how could she afford it?
Looking at Zhu Liheng again, he was paying very calmly.
Lin Jianzhi's eyes suddenly dimmed. She suddenly remembered the dinner party Zhu Liheng had taken her to before.
The senior sister named Ruan Tang sitting at the dinner table had revealed a lot. Zhu Liheng kept winning prizes, not scholarships, but various paper awards.
And working with such influential figures as Professor Xiong, Zhu Liheng had his own research lab in Yanling.
He had an income, and it was not low.
But Lin Jianzhi had nothing. She relied on her parents for food and shelter. In her coming university years, the possibility of her making her own money was slim.
Just one meal, and she already felt somewhat hesitant.
The gap between the two of them was probably very big from the beginning, and now it would only get bigger and bigger.
How could she catch up?
She's not good enough!
Lin Jianzhi was depressed the whole time, and did not notice the content on the bright phone screen, which happened to be a romance film.
Zhu Liheng understood when he looked back after paying the bill.
Dating and chasing girls, you should indeed watch romance films. The other people who said watching horror and mystery films were probably joking around.
The two returned to the car.
Lin Jianzhi was very silent. She quietly fastened her seat belt, her mind full of inferior emotions.
Zhu Liheng didn't say anything either, but looked at the showtimes, bought two tickets, and drove to the theater.
On the way, he asked, "It ends at 11:30, and it will be almost 12 o'clock by the time I send you back to the hotel. Is that okay with you?"
"Yeah." Lin Jianzhi answered in a low voice, depressed.
Zhu Liheng glanced at her strangely.
The white dress had a large butterfly bow on the hem, which was very cute and chic.
Matched with her good girl personality, the little dress looked very attractive on her.
Lin Jianzhi knew Zhu Liheng was looking at her, but she was in no mood to think too much now.
Her heart was almost filled with inferior emotions!
When they arrived at the cinema, Zhu Liheng went to get the tickets, while Lin Jianzhi cheered herself up and took the initiative to buy drinks and popcorn.
She had been thinking a lot on the way. If the two were really incompatible,
then calmly accept this brief encounter. At least the happiness she felt today was real.
The movie started at 9 o'clock, and there were still more than 10 minutes to wait.
Lin Jianzhi handed the popcorn and drink to Zhu Liheng and asked quietly, "Do you often go to the movies?"
Do you also often take girls to such expensive restaurants?
She didn't have the courage to ask the question behind.
Whether on the way to the restaurant or to the cinema, she noticed that Zhu Liheng didn't use navigation and seemed very familiar with the route.
It meant he had been here before.
Who did he come here with?
His expertise in ordering food and taking care of girls, with whom did he gain such experience?
Where would Zhu Liheng know she had so many strange thoughts in her mind? He just answered normally: "I haven't been watching much lately, but I often watch movies when I have free time."
Lin Jianzhi became even more disappointed and bit her lip to ask, "Who do you usually watch with?"
If he said girl names, or showed inclination in that direction,
she would definitely not have any more illusions about him after today.
Zhu Liheng answered, "With my teacher, Professor Xiong."
Lin Jianzhi was stunned.
She looked up blankly at Zhu Liheng who had said this.
Even because of this extremely unexpected answer, her expression looked incredibly dumbfounded, even a little silly.
Zhu Liheng: "My teacher likes to eat in that private kitchen. He often asks me to go with him. If there is a sci-fi movie, he must come to watch after dinner."
Yeah, watch while scolding.
Scold the director, screenwriter, actors.
As for the plot, he would criticize it from beginning to end for being unreasonable.
A towering figure in quantum mechanics still insisted on evaluating entertainment sci-fi movies from a professional perspective.
"Oh..." Lin Jianzhi nodded blankly.
The loss of mood from before was relieved a lot in an instant.
She even felt somewhat fortunate and surprised?
Lin Jianzhi felt that she was thinking too much!
The movie was about to start and there were quite a lot of people, crowded together.
Little Lin Jianzhi was almost squeezed away. At the critical moment, a big hand reached over and pulled her into his arms.
Zhu Liheng even grabbed her hand and frowned, "Don't get lost."
