Chapter 49: Roar!

[I asked him to go to the movies :)]

When Ji Yu received the text message, she was drawing pictures with her boyfriend, and the two exchanged affectionate glances from time to time. There was no way that art students wouldn’t be affectionate.

“Wait for a bit, let me reply to a text message.” After Ji Yu informed her boyfriend hurriedly, she bowed her head and replied to Yao Yi.

[Good job, do you know what movie to watch?]

Yao Yi wore large red cotton pajamas with ripples of green lace on the side, she lay on the bed, and sent a message to Ji Yu seriously.

She laid on the bed, and earnestly sent a message to Ji Yu.

[No, I don’t know what to watch.]

Her mind had always been on mathematics, she didn’t recognize any movie stars, and Yao Yi wouldn’t go out unless her family took her out.

“Mom, I have something to do this weekend.” Yao Yi was still fiddling with her phone.

Lin Xiuyu was overwhelmed by her daughter’s bright red and green cotton pajamas, and didn’t notice for a while that Yao Yi was not studying, but instead playing with her phone.

“Yi Yi, where did you get your pajamas?” It was absolutely impossible for Lin Xiuyu herself to buy such old-fashioned and tacky clothes for her daughter, even as pajamas!

Yao Yi looked down at the warm pajamas, and replied defenselessly: “I bought it myself.”

“When did you buy it? Why doesn’t mom know?” Lin Xiuyu stood at the door, holding the cold doorknob, her heart getting colder, “Yi Yi, have you…become colorblind?”

Yao Yi glanced at her mother strangely: “Mom, color blindness is passed down genetically when you are born, not acquired.”

Lin Xiuyu breathed a sigh of relief, then walked into the room, sat beside Yao Yi, and stroked her head.

“Yi Yi, you are still young, you have to wear clothes that suit you, this set of clothing is not suitable for you.” Lin Xiuyu wanted Yao Yi to take it off.

But Yao Yi was afraid of the cold, although the cotton clothes were a bit ugly, but it was quite warm, so she didn’t want to take them off.

“Then let’s forget about it today, tomorrow mom will buy you something warmer.” Lin Xiuyu coaxed her helplessly.

“Okay.” Yao Yi was still a little reluctant, the cotton clothes were not cheap to buy.

Lin Xiuyu looked at her daughter, and her heart softened. She was so small back then, and now she has grown up. Although her aesthetics were a bit poor, she was still her mother and was by her side, so she could control her a little.

They were afraid that Yi Yi would always like this, bringing in some ugly things into the house when they were not paying attention.

“Yi Yi, what are you going to do on the weekend? Don’t stay at home and do your homework all the time, go to the mall with your mother to buy some clothes.” Lin Xiuyu thought that Yao Yi would be  staying at home during the weekends to study, so she tried coaxing her out.

Yao Yi hesitated for a while, but still refused: “I want to go watch the movies with my friends.”

As soon as these words came out, Lin Xiuyu not only didn’t regret it, but became happy: “Yi Yi wants to go out with friends? Then Mom won’t bother you.”

“Mhm.” Yao Yi sat cross-legged on the bed and nodded obediently.

Lin Xiuyu patted her daughter’s head once more, and finally left contentedly.

…

On Saturday morning, Yao Yi was still at home, and Father Yao passed by her room with a cup of hot tea: “Didn’t you invite friends to watch a movie?”

Yao Yi quietly covered the “Book of Love” with a math textbook, looked up and replied, “We’re going at night, you have to watch movies at night.”

“Mhm.” Father Yao thought there was nothing wrong with this, “But you can also play around during the day, aren’t there a lot of places around the cinema?”

“No.” Yao Yi shook her head, “It’s an appointment.”

Now that she said that, Father Yao couldn’t interfere anymore, and went back to the study on his own.

Yao Yi pulled out the “Book of Love” again and continued to read it.

She still remembered that it said that it was best to watch movies at night, preferably in winter. Mhm… Yao Yi counted with her fingers, now it was November, it counted as winter. It was already very cold.

Article 19 of the sixth chapter of “The Book of Love”: “Remember to bring a scarf. Before watching the movie or after watching the movie, touch her hand, ask her if she is cold, and then put the scarf with some body temperature on her.”

Yao Yi used a pen to draw a horizontal line under this passage, thinking carefully, but ignored that it was referring to “her”.

Scarf?

She had several, couldn’t she take two with her at night? But what was written in the book must have its own truth, so Yao Yi decided to choose the thickest and largest scarf.

After studying the chapter about movies thoroughly, Yao Yi suddenly remembered how she invited Fu Chuan that day. She seemed to be saying that she wanted to replenish spiritual food and promote cultural exchanges.

It seemed that the movie that they were going to be watching was not going to be very cultural.

Forget it, the book said that the movie should be light-hearted or scary.

Since Ji Yu recommended this movie, she must have a reason.

In the south, it got dark very quickly in November, and it got completely dark at about six o’clock.

Yao Yi prepared for a long time at home. At half past six, she picked out the thickest and longest scarf from the closet and wrapped it around her neck, then went downstairs.

Fu Chuan was already waiting outside.

Without the cover of the large school uniform, Fu Chuan’s slender figure was perfectly outlined by the jacket, with a narrow waist and long legs. Standing in the shadows, people couldn’t help but take a few more glances.

Although she couldn’t see Fu Chuan’s face clearly, she saw that he was wearing thin clothes. Yao Yi was overjoyed: The book was really powerful, it could even know that Fu Chuan would wear so little!

Yao Yi coughed in the distance, cleared her throat, and then prepared to implement Article 19.

The first step was touching.

Yao Yi approached Fu Chuan, and touched his hand without waiting for him to reply.

Hey, his hands were not cold at all, Yao Yi paused, but she reacted very quickly and planned to proceed to the second step.

“Are you cold?” Yao Yi, dressed thickly like a dumpling, raised her head and asked Fu Chuan.

Fu Chuan was suddenly touched by her, and he couldn’t reply immediately and stood there in a daze.

The book didn’t say not to wear a scarf if it wasn’t cold, Yao Yi spontaneously understood that she had put it on him no matter what, so she immediately took off her scarf.

The scarf was really long and thick, bright red, and very festive. The most important thing was that there were two little yellow tiger heads on it. When Yao Yi wrapped it around him, the two tiger heads rested on his shoulders.

Fu Chuan was still a bit tall for Yao Yi, and standing on tiptoe was a bit tiring, especially with such a long scarf.

“Bend down a little, I’m tired.” There was no mention of such a situation in the book, so Yao Yi played freely and spoke her true heart.

Fu Chuan bent down obediently, but his eyes were still blank, obviously not understanding what was going on. He still had two cups of hot milk tea in his hand, he had just ordered them.

“Is it warm? This is the thickest scarf I have.” Speaking of this scarf, Yao Yi was very proud. She felt that she had implemented the book’s directions perfectly and thoroughly.

After the scarf was put on, Fu Chuan straightened up and murmured softly, “Warm.”

It worked! Yao Yi smiled quietly and narrowed her eyes in pride. There were 20 chapters in the Book of Love, and it didn’t look too difficult. As long as she finished everything, she would definitely be able to date Fu Chuan.

Fu Chuan had no idea that Yao Yi was immersed in the fantasy of the two successfully dating, his grades dropping, and herself sitting on the first place throne.

“Milk tea.” Fu Chuan inserted the straw and handed it to Yao Yi.

“Thank you.” Yao Yi was interrupted by Fu Chuan, so she could only walk side by side with him to the cinema.

The movie theater was not far from Yao Yi’s house, about 20 minutes away by walking.

The street lights and the lights of the surrounding shopping malls made the night no longer dark, the road was brightly lit. At the same time, the conspicuous scarf Fu Chuan was wearing was also clearly illuminated.

In particular, Fu Chuan himself was eye-catching, no one could ignore him on the road. In the past, passers-by would first be attracted by his hair, and finally fix on Fu Chuan’s face.

Tonight, the eyes of passersby coming and going tonight first fell on Fu Chuan’s face, then they couldn’t help but move down to the scarf around his neck that looked… cute and fierce.

“Mom, look, tigers!” A child was held by his mother, raised his head and pointed at Fu Chuan’s shoulders and said excitedly, and mimicked a fierce look, “Roar!”

Fu Chuan turned his face to the side, his brows and eyes were full of helplessness, but he was reluctant to take off the scarf.

Yao Yi blinked her eyes, bent over and replied back to the child with the same roar.

The child joyfully shrieked and hid in his mother’s arms, then giggled.

Pedestrians showed kind smiles, and their attention was diverted from Fu Chuan.

Fu Chuan looked at Yao Yi’s rare playful side, and the corners of his lips curved slightly.

“It’s better to scare children.” Yao Yi said proudly, “Otherwise they will make trouble.”

Fu Chuan thought, ‘that was scary? It’s almost like teasing children.’

The movie they watched today seemed to have good publicity and reviews. The people standing at the door were all young lovers.

Yao Yi didn’t pay attention to them, but Fu Chuan noticed it.

“I heard that this movie is about high school, and we are also high school students, so we can learn a lot from it.” Yao Yi said it quite seriously, and she really thought so.

As she said before, they needed to add spiritual food and discuss culture. Yao Yi felt that no matter which movie, if it could be released, it meant it had a certain connotation and lesson. At that time, she needed to watch it deeply, and then discuss it with Fu Chuan to promote the relationship!

Unlike Yao Yi, Fu Chuan had watched many movies before. He was in poor health when he was younger, and he would always stay in the screening room for a day during recuperation. He had watched classic Chinese and foreign movies, and he had a high ability to discern whether a movie was good or bad.

Looking at the slogans and trailers outside the cinema, Fu Chuan frowned when Yao Yi wasn’t paying attention to him.

This movie… didn’t look very good, it was probably about some pain in the youth series.

When it was their turn to enter, Yao Yi took the initiative to say that she wanted to eat popcorn, and she went to buy it before Fu Chuan moved.

Yao Yi was in pain when she walked back towards Fu Chuan after buying.

So expensive!

A big serving of popcorn was enough for her to buy a thick book of math exercises.

The author has something to say: 

Yao Yao: Roar, I scare you to death!
