This made no sense at all. Even if they had never dated, they could watch movies together.
But when she thought of Ye Ling’s illness and how it might have been there for many years, she felt a heartache. She felt sad and kind of bad for him. But after a while, she thought that she had indeed discovered a treasure.
“Is there a problem with that?” Ye Ling asked rhetorically.
He had never been to the movies before, really.
His illness would act up every night for a period of time, and he would turn into a bloodthirsty devil. He had violent tendencies, and he could not control his emotions. How would he dare to go out alone?
Going out would only hurt others around him.
Butler Luther would only lock him in the castle.
“Sure…” Shen Qianshu said softly. “Of course, it’s fine. Master, I will teach you everything you have never experienced before. Today, I will show you how it is like to go on a date with a girlfriend.”
Ye Ling’s amber eyes seemed gloomy. He had something to say, but he kept quiet.
“I know now.”
“Oh right, I forgot that you’re smart. You are quick at learning.”
“You’re here.”
This sounded so out of place, but Shen Qianshu understood him. With her around, he could learn anything and everything. He could also learn nothing. This had many meanings. But as someone who was good at awkward small talk, she knew what he meant immediately.
How boring, but what a domineering Master.
Shen Qianshu grabbed some popcorn and stuck her arm beside his mouth. “Popcorn for you?”
He smelled a sweet aroma.
Ye Ling frowned. He was not used to this, and he did not like greasy sweet tastes. Ever since he met Shen Qianshu, he realized that sweet smells would bring him joy. Shen Qianshu loved sweet snacks, and when he went out with her, he would eat some desserts too.
Ye Ling opened his mouth and ate all the popcorn.
So crispy, so sweet. It tastes pretty good, and it smells so nice. It is hard to describe it.
“Is it nice?”
“So-so!”
The movie had not started, and Shen Qianshu pulled Ye Ling to the seat. Shen Qianshu realized that Ye Ling had been eating the popcorn secretly. He ate very little. Once in a while, he would eat one piece of it. After a while, he would take one again. Finally, he got addicted to it.
“Is it nice?”
Ye Ling remained expressionless, but he behaved like a child in preschool who had been caught doing something bad by the teacher. He sat in a well-behaved manner as if he had never done anything at all. That made Shen Qianshu really happy, and she almost broke out in laughter.
She really broke out in laughter.
“Master, I’ll go get you some cola.”
How could there be popcorn but no cola? At first, she felt that Ye Ling did not like cola and popcorn, but now, it seemed uncertain. It could just be that no one had let him try them before. How could anyone watch a movie without popcorn and cola?
She went to the beverages shop, and Ye Ling finished one-third of the popcorn.
“Master, for you.” Shen Qianshu passed him the cola with a lot of ice added. Eating junk food was not a problem. Ye Ling was feeling thirsty from all the popcorn, and he drank some cola. He felt that it was really great.
“Is it great?”
Ye Ling nodded.
So this is what going on a date feels like.
“Whenever Xiaojuan, Tong Hua, and I come to the movies, we have to get a big tub of popcorn and two large colas. It really feels great.” Shen Qianshu spoke of her past experiences. “So I love coming to the movies. Every time I go to the movies, I go with them. It feels really great.”
Ye Ling nodded expressionlessly.
Shen Qianshu thought to herself, Great! He liked it!
