Chapter 91

"Wu..."

"Don't cry~ it's just a movie."

Walking out of the cinema, the boy beside her was still comforting his girlfriend.

The movie, called "Dying Leaves of Love", probably told the story of the protagonists meeting, knowing each other, falling in love in high school, and eventually going their separate ways.

Overall, it was a youth film without many surprises, and the ending could not be considered a happy one, leaving many regrets.

Many girls in the cinema were crying, and even after the movie ended, they were still sitting in the theater unwilling to leave.

"Little one, why didn't you cry?"

Samson Nan glanced at Raina Nan beside him.

"What is there to cry about?"

She thought for a moment, tilted her head to look at him.

"Hey... you're not cute at all~"

"..."

She was speechless and ignored him.

Although the movie label said "tearjerker," she couldn't shed a tear.

Especially when the movie was nearing the end, and the scene came to the day of graduation, where the male and female leads met again under the red maple tree where they first met. Without any dialogue, they smiled at each other and turned their backs, walking in opposite directions. That was when people in the cinema started crying...

The ones who cried probably lamented the beautiful process of this relationship but not having a complete ending.

But in her eyes, the ambiguous attitude of the female lead from beginning to end was the trigger for the ultimate tragedy.

Whose fault was that...

"What are you thinking?"

"Nothing."

She paused and snapped back to reality.

"Next time, I'll take you to see a horror movie, and I guarantee you'll cry~"

"I'm not watching!"

She pouted. Maybe she could cry while watching a horror movie, but it would be from being scared...

"It's already 6 o'clock."

Samson Nan glanced at the time.

"What do you want to eat?"

"I don't know..."

"Oh right~ there's a place over there that sells really good beef rice, Viagra took me there last time~ do you want to go?"

"Beef..."

She hesitated. Who goes on a date to eat beef rice...

"Um, sure..."

She still said that.

"Forget it, let's go for Japanese food."

He thought for a moment and said that.

"Huh?"

"After all, it's a date. We can't be too casual, right?"

"..."

After he said that, her face blushed slightly, and she muttered softly, looking to the side.

"I told you it's not a date..."

"Tsundere?"

"What... You, you're the tsundere!"

Blushing, she kicked his shins.

"Ouch! Little one, are you a soccer player? Always using your feet!"

"Who told you to talk too much..."

"Is it not allowed to speak the truth?"

He lowered his eyelids and glanced at her.

...

"Raina Nan?"

At this moment, a voice came from behind.

She turned around.

"Oh~ it really is you! I thought I was mistaken!"

"Huh?"

She paused for a moment, looking at the two girls in front of her.

They seemed familiar. Were they people she knew? She quickly searched for their names in her mind...

"Chen Xue, Xiao Hui...?"

"Bingo! You got it right, haha~ I thought you wouldn't remember!"

"Long time no see..."

"Who is she?"

Samson Nan quietly asked beside her.

"Middle school classmates."

She whispered.

Honestly, she was grateful that she didn't get their names wrong.

These two people were wearing light makeup, and their hair was dyed a light brown color. They had various delicate pendants and ribbons on their wrists and necks.

She hadn't seen them since middle school graduation, and now, when she looked at them, she felt that their appearance was quite different from how they were back then...

"I heard you and Roxie Lin are in the same high school?"

One of the girls asked.

"Yes, we're in the same class."

"Oh, that's so nice!"

"Yeah, when I first entered high school, I didn't know anyone in the class. It was super difficult."

"Is that so..."

The two of them had changed their way of speaking.

"Hey~ Is this handsome guy... your boyfriend?"

The girl looked at Samson Nan beside her and covered her mouth, giggling.

"Boyfriend..."

She paused for a moment, suddenly realizing something.

"No!"

"Really~?"

The girl smirked and pointed between them.

She lowered her head and realized that their hands were still holding together...

"No, this is..."

She hurriedly said, trying to break free from his hand.

"?"

She exerted a little force, but found that his grip tightened.

She looked up and saw his profile.

There was no significant change in his expression, calm, looking ahead.

A moment of silence...

"Let go."

She spoke softly.

Though it was quiet, it was clear enough to be heard.

"..."

He remained silent.

Turned his head and looked at her like that.

For a while.

Then he released his hand.

No more words, but the displeasure in his eyes could be seen even by others...

"Well, um..."

One of the girls felt the atmosphere was strange and spoke softly.

"We have something to do, so we won't disturb you~"

"Let's play together next time... Raina Nan~ Bye bye~"

After the two girls finished speaking, they nodded apologetically.

"Goodbye..."

She stood still and watched the two disappear from her sight...

"..."

She sighed and turned around.

"What are you doing?"

She glanced at him out of the corner of her eye.

"Not happy."

He turned his head and said.

"I just don't want others to misunderstand..."

"Well, I don't deserve you after all~"

"What are you saying..."

She whispered, not daring to look into his eyes.

"Never mind, let's eat, let's eat~"

He said and walked ahead on his own.

"Oh..."

"Split the bill later~"

"Huh?"

She paused and caught up with him.

"Why?"

"Why?"

He turned around and looked at her expressionlessly.

"May I ask, Miss Raina Nan, are we on a date?"

"Huh?"

She was puzzled, looking at him.

After a while, she spoke softly again.

"No..."

"Then am I your boyfriend?"

"Neither..."

Her voice became softer and she pouted, looking to the side.

"But you are my older brother..."

"I'm sorry, there is no law in my country that says an older brother must pay for his younger sister's meal~ Thank you"

"What..."

She simply didn't know what to say to his argument.

"I, I didn't bring that much money!"

The pocket money she brought couldn't afford sushi...

"No money? Then sorry, please go next door for beef rice bowl~"

"You!"

"What about me?"

"You just like to bully me... what kind of skill is that..."

She clenched her fist and muttered softly.

"No no no~ I don't have time to bully you now~ because I'm going to eat okonomiyaki, tuna sashimi, and conveyor belt sushi soon~ bye bye"

He said, quickened his pace, and walked ahead.

"..."

She stood still for a moment, then after thinking for a while, she followed him.

With her head down, she followed behind him in silence...

The two of them walked for quite a while without saying a word.

"Oh!"

He suddenly stopped abruptly.

Her forehead bumped into his back.

"Why are you following me?"

"I'm too lazy to argue with you... you stupid idiot"

She covered her forehead and muttered softly.

"..."

He didn't look back at her.

After a while, his lips trembled slightly.

"Aren't you just a stupid idiot?"

"..."

So he admitted it...

"..."

Clearly, she didn't understand anything...

Stupid big brother...

...

After a brief silence, she spoke again.

"But... I actually quite like it..."

Her voice, faintly piercing the air, reached his ears.

"A stupid big brother like you..."

...

His shoulders trembled slightly.

He turned his head and looked at her from a distance.

"What did you just say?"

"No, no, don't get me wrong... When I say I like it..."

She immediately realized something and her face turned red all the way to her ears.

She waved her hands nervously.

"Just... um?!"

Before she could react, he had already rushed towards her and embraced her.

"Big brother?"

Strength came from his arms.

Unable to move.

Perhaps due to the height difference, her toes were almost off the ground...

...

He didn't speak, remained silent, and refused to let go.

People passing by them looked over and whispered something with smiles on their faces.

"Big brother, it's uncomfortable..."

She patted his back in pain.

...

Only then did he seem to suddenly come back to his senses and slightly loosen his arms.

Hesitant, he let her down.

"Cough cough..."

She patted her chest, still out of breath.

...

Samson Nan took a step back.

"Sorry..."

Covering the corners of his mouth with his wrist, his cheeks were slightly flushed as he looked to the side.

"But... I'm really happy..."

...

Even though she had clearly said that it wasn't what she meant...

...

"Stupid..."

After a while, she glanced at his profile with the corner of her eye and muttered softly.

She turned her head slightly, not letting him see the smile on her lips...

...

Did it get communicated slightly this time?

...

"Hey~ suddenly got energetic again~ Little one, which Japanese restaurant do you want to eat at?"

He smiled relievedly and placed his hand on her shoulder.

"No more splitting the bill?"

"Splitting the bill is too formal, aren't we together~"

You didn't say that just now...

"Hmph~"

She snorted softly, quickened her pace, and walked ahead.

"Wait for me!"

He also jogged and followed.

...

...

When they returned home at night, it was already 10 o'clock.

After dinner, they went to the pet store and bought a new dog house and a bunch of toys for Wai Wai.

Time passed quickly. Unconsciously, it was already this late...

Feeling exhausted, she entered her room and closed the door.

Collapsed onto her bed.

At this moment, her phone beeped twice.

She picked it up.

It was a message from "Bloom In Summer".

"Little fish, did the date go well?"

She looked at the words on the screen for a while, then threw the phone aside.

Hugging her pillow, but not feeling sleepy at all.

With a smile on her lips, she buried her head in the pillow.

...

August 31st.

The last day of summer vacation.

The first date in her life, accomplished.
