On Friday afternoon after getting off work, Yu Na threw all her worries aside and snuggled with Xiao Chen in the car for a while.
They went back to Huating No.1 to change clothes, then went out to see a movie.
Yu Na took out some makeup. "I want to put on some more makeup."
"No need for more makeup," Xiao Chen put his hand around her waist. "You look beautiful enough already."
"Don't try to sweet talk me," Yu Na poked his nose. "Wait for me, I'll be quick."
Xiao Chen had no choice but to sit on the sofa and wait for her.
Yu Na sat in front of the dressing table, carefully made herself up, completely ignoring her boyfriend on the sofa.
At first Xiao Chen sat properly on the sofa, but he didn't expect her makeup to take so long.
His sitting posture gradually became more relaxed until he was sprawled limply on the sofa.
Finally seeing that she was about to finish putting on lipstick, Xiao Chen immediately perked up and sat up straight on the sofa.
Just then, Yu Na also happened to turn her head back.
She had applied a soft focus look that made her already beautiful features look even more exquisite.
"How is it?" Yu Na carefully touched the curls she had just made at the ends of her hair.
"Beautiful," he stared at her for a long time before slowly saying, "I like it."
Yu Na smiled sweetly, hooked his arm and said, "Let's go."
"Wait a minute."
Xiao Chen took her makeup remover wipes from the dressing table and put them in her bag.
"What are you taking those for?" Yu Na asked amusedly. "I'll remove my makeup when I get back."
"Because I'm definitely going to kiss you later," Unlike before, Xiao Chen was direct. "I don't want your lipstick to smudge."
"...!"
Xiao Chen asked suggestively, "You're not going to make me walk around with lipstick marks right?"
...
The movie they were watching this time was a romance.
When it got to the kiss scene between the male and female protagonists, Xiao Chen got restless. He held Yu Na's hand and pulled it towards himself. "I think your makeup wipes can come in handy now."
Yu Na: "..."
There were still very few people in the cinema. They sat in a secluded corner where no one would notice.
Before Yu Na could respond, his lips were already firmly pressed against hers.
She held her breath.
She kissed back for a few seconds, then put her palm against his chest and mumbled, "Can we wait until we get home?"
Xiao Chen didn't go too far, only kissing her briefly.
Fortunately no one else was around to see them in the dark cinema.
After letting her go, Xiao Chen's voice was low and husky. "Let me try out how well your makeup wipes work."
Yu Na could still taste his minty flavor on her lips. She pursed her lips.
Then she took out the wet wipes from her bag and carefully dabbed them a few times.
"Just dabbing is not enough, you need to rinse too."
The movie wasn't over yet, but Yu Na pulled Xiao Chen to leave the cinema. She dipped the tissue in some water and helped wipe his lips too.
They didn't go back to finish watching the movie. The plot was predictable anyway.
The original plan was to watch the movie first, then go for hotpot.
But Yu Na suddenly changed her mind. "Let's go back and have hotpot at home instead."
"Go back home?"
"Yeah, it's more hygienic at home." While Yu Na said so, she was actually remembering the first time they had hotpot together at home.
Xiao Chen indulged her. "Alright, let's go buy ingredients from the supermarket first then."
The two of them went to the basement carpark, then drove to the supermarket they first went to buy hotpot ingredients previously.
They bought a lot of ingredients, then walked to the snacks section.
Yu Na stood in front of the shopping cart, holding two bags of chips in her hands, looking at one bag then the other, seemingly comparing them.
Xiao Chen stood behind her, gripping both handles of the cart, trapping Yu Na between his arms.
He looked at the two bags of chips she was holding, then simply threw both of them into the cart. "Why not just buy both?"
"Oh..."
Xiao Chen seemed to recall something. He asked, "Drink baby milk too?"
"..." Yu Na turned her head back. "Yes!"
"Let's go!"
After buying snacks, Yu Na looked at their very full shopping cart, satisfied. "Let's watch a movie using the projector tonight!"
"Sure." Xiao Chen had a suggestive look in his eyes. He casually picked up a suspicious small package from the shelf. "We'll be needing more of these then."
"..."
Yu Na punched his chest. "I said watch movie, just watch movie!"
Xiao Chen acted innocent. "I didn't say it had to be tonight."
...
Back home, Yu Na changed her clothes and removed her makeup first, did a simple clean up.
Xiao Chen was still preparing the ingredients. Just like last time, he arranged the ingredients neatly in orderly rows, seemingly obsessive compulsive about it.
Yu Na fished out a pack of candy from the shopping bag, then went over to Xiao Chen and squeezed into his arms. "Mr. Xiao—"
Xiao Chen was caught unexpected with a girl suddenly appearing in front of him. He laughed. "My hands are wet."
"It's okay." Yu Na opened the pack of candy and popped one into his mouth. "Let me feed you some candy."
His tone was suggestive on purpose. "Couldn't you just stand next to me to feed me?"
But her response was very direct. "Because I want a hug too."
He was helpless against her straightforward way of expressing herself. His heart melted into soft mush. "Wait until we're in bed tonight then I'll hug you properly, okay?"
"Mm..."
"Don't worry," he said. "There'll be more than just hugging tonight."
Yu Na hugged him tightly around the waist and obediently nodded. "Kisses too."
"Yes, and more."
...
After that, Yu Na stopped disturbing him and obediently went to sit in the dining room to wait.
She stared at Xiao Chen's figure, recalling the first time they ate hotpot together.
Back then, the thing she wanted to do most was to hold him tightly no matter what.
And now, that person had finally become her boyfriend, the boyfriend who coaxed her to sleep every night.
She could hold him, kiss him, and do everything she wanted to do.
After eating, showering.
Xiao Chen brought out the projector, and they picked out a classic romance movie to watch.
Yu Na bounced over to Xiao Chen and snuggled into his arms. "I've heard of this movie but never watched it. Is it good?"
"Very good," Xiao Chen hugged her from behind, his arms around her waist. His tone was suggestive. "Lots of kissing scenes."
Yu Na: "..."
She turned her head back. "What are you up to again?"
Xiao Chen thought: Every time you're so direct, this time I'll be direct too and catch you off guard.
He said: "When the kissing scenes come up, then I can kiss you."
"Baby—" Yu Na was even more direct than him. "You can kiss me anytime, no need to divide time slots."
Xiao Chen: ?
Now he was the one caught unprepared.
Yu Na kissed his chin. "Whenever you want to kiss me, just kiss."
Xiao Chen's eyes grew dark. "Really?"
"Yeah," She was extremely indulgent. "Because I'm your girlfriend."
As soon as she said that, Xiao Chen pressed his lips over hers.
And so, that classic romance movie became background music for them to snuggle against each other intimately.
Yu Na held Xiao Chen's hand, surrounded by his fiery breath and the sound of his breathing and the movie's dialogue.
She was immersed in him.
She didn't watch that movie at all.
Afterwards, lying in bed after cleaning up, Yu Na recalled the conversation Jiang Yu had with her during the early read period.
A sense of frustration slowly welled up.
Yu Na laid on Xiao Chen's arm. "Xiao Chen."
Xiao Chen had his eyes closed, but his other arm still pulled her closer to him. "Hm?"
"Do you think I failed as a teacher?"
"Why are you asking this all a sudden?"
"Just a random question, hurry answer me."
"How did you fail? If I were still in high school, I'd be dreaming to get you as my teacher."
"Then how do you think I did when teaching Qiao Rui questions?"
"Pretty good, I've listened in when you tutored him right? Why would I still listen to it if I wasn't interested?"
Xiao Chen felt something was off with her. He asked, "What's wrong? Did Qiao Rui say something about you?"
"No no." Yu Na quickly denied. "I just wanted to hear others evaluate me."
Seeing that Xiao Chen was still suspicious, she quickly changed the subject. "Xiao Chen~"
"Hm?"
"I want...more..."
This was the first time she initiated.
Xiao Chen laughed out loud. "Come!"
He said, "I'll try some new moves this time?"
"!!!"
...
The weekend flew by in the blink of an eye.
Xiao Chen didn't even go home at night, going straight back to Huating No. 1 instead.
On Monday morning, he wore athletic clothes and sent Yu Na to work first.
At the north gate of the school, Yu Na opened the door and alighted from the car.
Xiao Chen called her back, also getting out of the car. He handed her the soy milk. "You forgot this."
"Oh." Yu Na took the soy milk. "Bye then."
Xiao Chen looked around and didn't see any students wearing school uniforms. He breathed a sigh of relief, and when she wasn't paying attention, leaned down and kissed her forehead, "I'll still be here waiting for you tonight."
Her face flushed red, "Okay."
But neither of them expected that Jiang Yu had captured this moment.
He was a new student, and hadn't received his school uniform yet.
After they parted, Xiao Chen went back to his car and drove away.
Just then, Jiang Yu quickly snapped a photo of Xiao Chen's license plate number.
