10: Small actions in the movie theater

The next morning, at 7:30.

Yu Heng was woken up by his phone's ringtone.

Then came three WeChat messages from Ning Yutong:

"Wake up!"

"You promised to spend today with me!"

"If you don't reply, I'm coming to knock on your door! (｡•ˇ‸ˇ•｡)"

Yu Heng rubbed his eyes, checked the time, and irritably ruffled his hair.

Ning Yutong had indeed sent him a message, asking him to go shopping with her, and Yu Heng had agreed.

Tsk, he'd forgotten about it.

He leisurely replied, "Just woke up. See you at the entrance of Tianyang Plaza in half an hour."

Ning Yutong replied instantly: "Okay! I'll wear my new dress for you to see! (๑‾ ꇴ ‾๑)"

Yu Heng put on a hoodie and sweatpants and left the house.

The weather had already turned cooler.

The residential area was very close to the mall, just one intersection away.

Walking to the west gate of the mall, Yu Heng saw Ning Yutong wearing a light pink dress, standing at the entrance of Kuanguang Supermarket.

"Yu Heng! Over here!" She jogged over, her skirt gently swaying in the breeze. "Do you think my new dress looks good?"

She spun around in front of him, her 36E chest subtly trembling with the movement.

Yu Heng subconsciously glanced at it twice: "It's alright."

"What do you mean 'alright'!" Ning Yutong pouted. "Let me tell you, when I bought this dress..."

Just then, Yu Heng's phone vibrated twice in his pocket. He took it out to check the message.

Ning Yutong reached out and cupped his face: "Look at me, look at me! You should look at me when I'm talking to you!"

Yu Heng was startled by her sudden action.

"I'm looking, I'm looking." He pulled her hands away.

"Let me tell you, when I bought this dress, the sales assistant kept praising how good I looked, saying that this dress had no straps, and most people couldn't pull it off!"

"Haha, then you certainly have an advantage." Yu Heng laughed.

Ning Yutong giggled and hooked her arm through his: "Let's go, let's go, we'll eat breakfast first!"

At the soymilk shop, Ning Yutong insisted on squeezing onto the same side as him.

"Go sit opposite." Yu Heng pushed her shoulder.

"No, I want to be closer." Ning Yutong smiled sweetly.

Yu Heng took a sip of soymilk and pursed his lips.

Ning Yutong wasn't like this when she was in high school, and Shen Yueling wasn't as cold as she is now before that incident happened.

Do girls' personalities change drastically when they reach their 'spring' period?

That's more like a dog.

After breakfast, Ning Yutong dragged him to shop at the mall.

From the cosmetics counter on the first floor to the women's clothing store on the third floor, she insisted that Yu Heng wait outside the fitting room while she tried on clothes.

"How about this one?" Ning Yutong lifted the curtain and came out wearing a tight-fitting camisole dress.

Yu Heng glanced at it: "Too revealing."

"How can it be!" Ning Yutong spun around in front of the mirror. "It's so pretty! Don't you think it's pretty?"

She suddenly ran up to him, looking up at his face: "Look at me, tell me seriously!"

Yu Heng was forced to take half a step back, his back against the wall: "Pretty, pretty, buy it."

Ning Yutong chuckled and returned to the fitting room.

Yu Heng stood bored at the entrance, playing on his phone.

"Does this one look good?" Ning Yutong leaned out, holding a light yellow dress up against herself.

"It's alright." Yu Heng didn't even lift his head.

"You didn't even look!" Ning Yutong walked over and pulled his arm. "Look at me, be serious!"

Yu Heng had no choice but to look up: "It suits you well."

Only then was Ning Yutong satisfied. She went in to change, came out, and spun around: "How is it?"

The dress indeed suited her, the waist was cinched just right, and the neckline revealed her delicate collarbones.

Mainly, this one didn't emphasize her chest. Ning Yutong's size was too big, sometimes making it appear awkward.

"Not bad." Yu Heng nodded.

"Then I'll buy this one!" Ning Yutong said happily, then leaned closer and whispered, "Is it your type?"

Yu Heng raised an eyebrow: "Does what I like matter?"

"Of course it matters!" Ning Yutong said righteously, "A woman adorns herself for her admirer!"

Her words were too direct, and Yu Heng didn't know how to respond for a moment.

After buying the dress, Ning Yutong dragged him to several more stores, and before they knew it, it was almost noon.

"I'm hungry, and so tired." Ning Yutong rubbed her stomach. "Let's go eat hotpot!"

Inside the hotpot restaurant, Ning Yutong sat on the sofa chair and sighed: "My waist hurts from all the walking!"

"Anyone with two watermelons hanging from their chest would have a sore waist." Yu Heng laughed.

Ning Yutong blinked at his words, looked at him, and only after a while did she react: "Oh!"

Yu Heng looked at her flushed cheeks and grinned: "You're just saying it's not true, right!"

"Why have you become so improper now..." Ning Yutong lightly pushed him, muttering softly.

They had been deskmates for so long, and Ning Yutong had worn cooler clothes in the summer before.

He hadn't reacted much before, partly because he was younger then, and partly because he truly didn't have such thoughts.

But now it was different; such a stunner was so familiar with him, why pretend to be proper?

After lunch, Yu Heng checked the time; it was only a little past two in the afternoon: "Where to next?"

Ning Yutong tilted her head in thought, her eyes lighting up: "Let's go see a movie!"

"Alright." Yu Heng shrugged indifferently, "Anyway, I'm with you today."

At the cinema, Yu Heng bought a couple's seat.

The couple's seats were two connected sofa chairs, with no armrest separating them.

Ning Yutong sat next to him, placing the popcorn between them.

Not long after the movie started, Yu Heng's hand became restless.

He first pretended to casually place his hand on the sofa chair.

Then slowly moved it towards her side.

Ning Yutong was focused on the screen until Yu Heng's palm gently rested on her thigh.

"What are you doing...?" she whispered, but didn't move away.

"Don't mess around... we're watching a movie..."

"I'll watch mine, you watch yours."

When the movie ended, the lights came on brightly.

Ning Yutong hurriedly stood up: "Um... I'm a bit tired, I'm going home first."

"I'll see you off."

"No, no!" Ning Yutong quickly waved her hand, "I can go back by myself."

The first thing Ning Yutong did when she got home was go to the bathroom.

She needed to change her underwear!

...When Yu Heng returned home, Liu Jianfen frowned as soon as he entered the door and asked, "Where have you been again? Haven't seen you all day?"

"I went out to play with someone, didn't I tell you?" Yu Heng said.

"Was it a boy or a girl?" Liu Jianfen pressed.

"What's the difference between a boy and a girl? Mom, I'm in college!"

"Even in college, you can't just let yourself go. Don't go fooling around outside!"

"I know, Mom!" Yu Heng stretched. "Where's my sister-in-law?"

"She's in the room coaxing Xiao Hui. Perfect, go call her out for dinner!"
