Chapter 70 Part 1
Under the pale light of the movie theater, the youth’s skin was as white as jade, and there was scarlet red blood on the corner of his lips. It was just like the blood flowing from the smile on the little girl’s mouth at the end of the film.
—“Aaaaahhhhh!”
The movie was really scary and it was too realistic. The moment Zhang Man looked at him, her mind began to constantly echo the line: “When it’s this dark, you never know whether it’s a person or a ghost sitting next to you.”
He… he can’t be a ghost, right?
Her logic was crushed by fear, and she screamed. She jumped out of his arms like she was shocked by electricity. She pulled back into her seat far away from him, trembling.
The two girls in the seats in front of them were already in a state of fear. When they suddenly heard a scream, they were immediately so scared that they also screamed.
“Aaahhh!”
“Aaaaahhhhh!”
“…”
Within a few seconds, there was a series of screams echoing in the small room. Some girls screamed until their voices were hoarse and cracking.
The lady in charge of the cleaning afterwards walked in carrying a bucket and mop and thought, the audience is so scared this time.
The girl in the red dress was scared to the point her heart was beating irregularly. She remembered that someone was screaming in the seat behind her just now. She turned around to search and quickly identified the culprit.
She patted her throbbing chest and looked at Zhang Man with an unkind gaze, “… you scared me. What are you yelling for?
Zhang Man finally reacted and lowered her head in embarrassment.
The youth gently raised his hand and wiped the blood from the corner of his lips. He put his arms around Zhang Man and said with a smile in his voice, “Sorry, my girlfriend is a bit scared.”
That frightened girl wanted to say one more thing. When she took a look… Uh, sh!t, isn’t this guy too handsome?
Thus, she swallowed the accusation that she was about to say and let it go. She did not want to argue with the handsome guy.
Zhang Man apologized while embarrassed. She took the youth’s hand and quickly walked out of the movies.
She didn’t look up until she reached the brightly lit street.
Wait! Just now she screamed because she saw blood on his lips.
She pulled him under a street lamp and patted his head to make him bend down.
When they were about the same height, she put her right hand up and lifted the youth’s chin. She lightly touched the corner of his mouth with her thumb.
There was a bit of blood on her fingers.
“Li Wei, why are you bleeding from your mouth? It really scared me just now.”
The youth felt a slight pain from his lips, and he felt a bit helpless. “… what do you mean?”
Zhang Man carefully went through her memories.
Whenever there were some horror scenes in the movie just now, she seemed to have instinctively bit down to release her inner fear.
And did she bite on?
Soft and warm… and her hands were around his neck. After her view was blocked for a long time, she tilted her neck to see the scene clearly…
Uh… and she bit his lips and he bled.
Zhang Man’s face immediately turned red.
She hugged the youth and buried her head in his chest, afraid to look at him or let him look at her face. It was too cruel.
“Does it hurt, boyfriend?”
She made a mistake and didn’t dare to call him by his name.
The youth’s chest rose with delight. His hand loosely went around her back. “Mm, it hurts.”
Zhang Man muttered in her heart something she was too embarrassed to ask, why didn’t you react from the pain?
Didn’t she bite him for at least a few minutes? She did it a lot, and if he had brought it to her attention at that time, then he wouldn’t be bleeding
She rubbed into his chest in frustration.
The youth took hold of the girl in his arms and looked at her seriously. “It hurts a lot, I need you to blow on it.”
Zhang Man: “…”
Why did his expression not change when he said something so cheesy?
But as the culprit, she had no right to refuse. She leaned forward and gently blew on the wound on his lips.
After blowing for a long time, she took another serious look at it.
“I’ve read that saliva can kill bacteria and reduce inflammation…”
He finished speaking and leaned down to her with a smile.
…
The spring night was alluring, and N City had entered its busy season. People who did not like to go outside during winter, went out in groups on this soft spring night. The square outside the movies was crowded with many people.
The square was close to the sea, and down from the stone walkway was the beach.
People were strolling barefoot on the beach. A group of children holding small shovels and plastic buckets were playing in the sand.
In one small area, there was loud music playing. A group of aunties were neatly dancing with red fans, making twists and turns.
Li Wei and Zhang Man walked down the steps holding hands and walked along the beach.
There was a vendor selling kites by the beach. It was the type with many small lights strung on top so that it could be seen in the dark.
There were already several people flying kites by the sea.
Throughout the year, summer was always filled with lightning and thunderstorms, autumn did not have any wind, and winter was too cold… Spring was the most suitable season for kite flying. It had enough smooth sea breeze to lift a kite well.
There was a ten year old nearby flying a kite in the shape of a peacock. The peacock was shining brightly in the sky with a green tail.
It quickly caught Zhang Man’s attention.
The spring breeze steadily lifted the peacock higher and higher, until in the end, the string the little boy was holding onto was all released.
To be honest, she had never played with kites since she grew up.
She couldn’t remember if she did it as a child. She probably didn’t want to play with anyone, and once she grew up she just thought it was a child’s toy.
Soonfter, something was suddenly in her hands.
She looked down. It turned out to be a swallow kite.
The youth had a gentle smile as he rubbed the top of her head. He said, “Man Man, if you keep looking, people will think you’re going to steal the kites.”
Zhang Man was surprised. How could he know what she wanted to do?
