Chapter 34

Sitting on the subway to Xidan, I couldn't remember the name of the horror movie that Shi Lei and I watched five years ago.I didn't know the name of the movie when I watched it.I never asked Shi Lei, and I think she probably didn't know either.The subway was fast, and it was only 01:30 in the afternoon when we arrived in Xidan.As I walked in the direction of the cinema, I wondered how to pass the half hour.But when I was about to reach the place, I saw Shi Lei who had been waiting there for a long time under the huge sign of Xidan Cinema.Seeing her brought tears to my eyes.She was dressed exactly the same as the day I met her at the movie theater five years ago.She stood there very quietly, looking in the other direction.Her beauty made many people who walked by her look back frequently.I stood where I was and relieved my sad emotions, and after I stabilized, I continued to walk towards her.

I was almost at her side before she found me.She immediately showed her charming smile when she saw me.She smiled and said, you came very early.

I asked her, when did you come?
She smiled and said, I was standing here when I called you.

I said, why don't you make an appointment earlier?
She smiled and said, because the movie doesn't start until two o'clock in the afternoon, I'm afraid you will be bored if you come early.

I smiled and said, Shi Lei, do you just want me to feel guilty?

She smiled and said, Bao Beining, he finally understands Shi Lei a little bit.

I smiled and said, your goal has been achieved.

Shi Lei took my hand and walked into the cinema.I did not refuse.

I asked her, what movie?
She said excitedly, horror movie, "Chain Saw 3".

In addition to watching the TV series "Tokyo Love Story", Shi Lei also loves watching horror movies.She loves all things thrilling, even risking her life.Before she went to Japan, I asked her, do you want to make horror movies when you become a director in the future?She stared at me for a while, then smiled and said, yes.Just make a horror movie!During my four-year relationship with Shi Lei in college, I watched countless horror movies with her, all of which were watched in the dilapidated movie theater at school.So when it comes to horror movies, I will think of those scenes where I stare at the screen nervously with Shi Lei in the dark, and if something scary suddenly comes out, I will scream with Shi Lei.I remember when I was a sophomore, the movie theater of our school showed a super scary Hong Kong movie, and many people took their partners to watch it.When the film was halfway through, there was already a lot of crying in the cinema, most of which were girls crying, and occasionally there were a few wolf howls.Shi Lei has been trying not to cry.After playing for a while, someone in the theater led the subject out in a panic, and if the show continued, there were basically no people in the theater.Few couples can persist until the end, but Shi Lei and I persisted until the end.After watching the film, my right hand and Shi Lei's left hand almost grew together, and it hurt for several days after I let go.

After we bought the tickets, I asked Shi Lei what he would like to eat.She doesn't eat anything.

I said, what are you doing?
She smiled and said yes.

I said, why?
She smiled and said, to relive the old dream, everything should be the same as possible.

Shi Lei and I sat in the dark movie theater, I sat on her left, she sat on my right.After the movie started, Shi Lei suddenly said that he was very cold like he did five years ago.I thought for a while, and finally turned to look at her.I found that she was looking at me just like five years ago, a pair of still bright and dark eyes.I stared into her eyes and said, is it cold?She said it was cold.I said, you can put your hands in my pockets.After finishing speaking, I turned my head and continued watching the movie.A few seconds later she put her left hand into my right pocket, I didn't respond, and went on watching the movie.This movie called "Chain Saw 3", when I saw half of it, I suddenly became excited.I remembered that the movie I watched when Shi Lei and I met five years ago should have been "Saw 1" or "Saw 2".It turned out that it was meaningful for Shi Lei to lead me to watch this movie.I quietly turned my head to look at Shi Lei, she looked at it seriously.The hand in my pocket will move suddenly with the sudden tension of the plot.And I can no longer devote myself to a horror movie like I did five years ago, and further forget the hand in my pocket.I thought about it for a long time, almost as long as I finished a movie, and when the movie was coming to an end, I finally decided to put my right hand into the right pocket and hold Shi Lei's left hand.There was no scare segment, and I started off with a tight grip, full of pathos.It was still a very delicate and smooth hand, and just like that, I watched the horror movie while holding her hand.After watching it, the lights on the roof of the cinema suddenly turned on like five years ago, and I still saw a beautiful girl with her hand still in my pocket.She looked at me with a smile, I thought she would smile and say to me like five years ago, you have to be responsible for me.But she didn't.She smiled and said to me, thank you.

Come out of the movie theater and stand on the bustling street.I asked Shi Lei if he was hungry.She said she was very hungry.I said let's go eat then.She smiled and shook her head at me.I asked her why.She smiled and said that we didn't eat after watching the movie on this day five years ago.I remembered five years ago, after Shi Lei and I watched the movie, she smiled and asked me to be responsible to her.I said how to be responsible.She said I'll give you a week to think about whether you want me to be your girlfriend.Before you consider the result, please hand over your ID card to me.At the entrance of the dilapidated movie theater at my school five years ago, I obediently took out my ID card and handed it to Shi Lei, and she left with my ID card.Five years later, when Shi Lei asked me for my ID again with a smile, I hesitated and took out my wallet and handed her the ID.But this is not the ID card five years ago.This is the second-generation ID card that was replaced uniformly by the country. Shi Lei looked down at my ID card for a long time, and she said to me, the photo on your ID card is more handsome than the previous one, which looks like a prisoner.After she said this, she smiled and raised her head. Instead of putting my ID card in her pocket like five years ago, she returned it to me.I caught it in a daze, and Shi Lei suddenly smiled and said, let's break up here.

At the gate of Xidan Cinema that day, Shi Lei said that she would leave first as she did five years ago.However, she doesn't want me to see her off.She told me to turn my back and turn around in 2 minutes.If she turns around early, she won't leave and will follow me for the rest of her life.I turned my back, Shi Lei left without saying anything.When I turned around 2 minutes later, Shi Lei had quickly disappeared into the crowd.
