Chapter 58 So you really haven't considered marriage?
In the movie theater, Chen Mo continued watching the film, but he found it increasingly difficult to concentrate.
Because Su Xiao was crying so intensely on the side.
He also had to hand the other person tissues from time to time.
During the climax of the movie, a chorus of low sobs filled the theater.
Su Xiao, who was next to him, was sobbing so hard that her shoulders were shaking and tears were streaming down her face.
Chen Mo sighed and simply handed over the entire pack of tissues.
"I'll give you everything."
Su Xiao sobbed, asking in a questioning tone, "Why aren't you crying?"
"I don't need it."
"Th-thank you..."
Chen Mo looked at her tear-streaked face and suddenly found it a little funny.
But I held back after thinking about it.
If I laugh now, I'll probably get beaten up.
The movie has finally ended.
As the lights came on, the audience members in the theater gradually got up and left, many with red eyes.
Su Xiao sat in her seat for a long time without moving.
Chen Mo turned to look at her and found that her eyes were swollen like walnuts, her nose was red, and she looked pitiful.
"Are you alright?" he asked.
"Um……"
Su Xiao nodded and said, "It's just that after watching it... I felt a little sad."
"understand."
Chen Mo stood up and said, "Let's go, let's go out for some fresh air."
The two followed the flow of people out of the screening room and into the cinema lobby.
Su Xiao went to the bathroom to wash her face, and when she came out, her eyes were still red.
But it's much better now.
"I'm sorry."
She walked up to Chen Mo and said somewhat awkwardly, "I'm not usually like this, it's just... this movie was so touching."
"It's nothing. Being this engrossed in a movie shows that you're very emotional."
Chen Mo smiled and teased, "But if you cry like this, people who don't know better might think I'm bullying you."
"..."
Su Xiao smiled too, although her eyes were still red, her smile had returned to its usual brightness.
"Shall we go eat now? It's on me. Order whatever you like."
"Just find any roadside food stall."
Chen Mo said, "I think you're hungry from crying too, you need to replenish your energy quickly."
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
The two walked out of the movie theater side by side, preparing to find a place to eat.
Just as they were leaving, Shen Qingyue and Cai Yanyan happened to walk into the cinema.
Cai Yanyan, holding Shen Qingyue's hand, looked at the posters in the hall with great interest.
"Qingyue, you seem to have really high praise for that movie, 'Love Letters to Grandma.' Should we watch it?"
"casual."
Shen Qingyue had little interest; all she wanted to do was finish watching the movie and go home to sleep.
"Then let's look at this one."
Cai Yanyan pulled her to the ticket office to buy tickets for the 7:20 show, which started in ten minutes.
The two bought popcorn and cola and sat in the rest area to wait.
Shen Qingyue took out her phone, intending to deal with work emails as usual, but Cai Yanyan snatched it away.
"Once you're off work, stop looking at work-related things."
Cai Yanyan stuffed her phone into her bag and said, "Take a good break, or you'll really become a workaholic."
"..."
Helpless, Shen Qingyue could only lean back in her chair and stare blankly at the people coming and going.
Her gaze unconsciously swept across the cinema entrance, then suddenly fixed on a certain spot.
There, a man and a woman who had just walked out looked somewhat familiar from behind.
The man was tall and straight, wearing a simple white T-shirt and jeans.
The woman was not tall, with long hair draped over her shoulders. She tilted her head slightly as she walked, as if she were talking to the man next to her.
That figure from behind...
Shen Qingyue's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously sat up straight.
But just then, the other person walked out of the cinema and disappeared from her sight.
"What are you looking at?"
Cai Yanyan followed her gaze and saw only an empty doorway.
"It's nothing."
Shen Qingyue looked away, but some doubts remained in her heart.
The clothes and the figure from behind just now really looked like Chen Mo from my company.
But... how did he get here?
And there was a woman next to him?
"It's time to go in."
Cai Yanyan glanced at the time, pulled her to her feet, and said, "Let's go, the movie is about to start."
"oh."
Shen Qingyue suppressed her doubts and followed her into the screening room.
Perhaps she misread it.
Moreover, even if the other person is going to see a movie, it's impossible for it to be such a coincidence that they're in the same theater and at the same time.
She must be too tired and her eyes are playing tricks on her.
Shen Qingyue told herself this as she sat down and prepared to concentrate on watching the movie.
But for some reason, I always felt a little uneasy.
……
Outside the cinema, Chen Mo and Su Xiao had found a decent-looking food stall.
The shop is small, but very clean.
Several tables were set up at the entrance, and they were full of people; business was booming.
"This is the place, shall we?"
Chen Mo pointed and said, "There are a lot of people, so it looks like it should taste good."
"it is good."
Su Xiao nodded, and the two found a seat towards the back.
The owner came over with the menu and greeted them warmly, "What would you two like to eat? Our grilled fish and barbecue are both very good."
Chen Mo pushed the menu towards Su Xiao: "You order, I'm easy."
Su Xiao didn't stand on ceremony. She took the menu, looked at it, and ordered a few signature dishes, as well as some barbecue.
"What would you like to drink?" she asked Chen Mo.
Chen Mo casually replied, "Beer, ice cold."
"Then I'll have beer too."
Su Xiao said, "I haven't had a drink in a long time, but I'll make an exception and have a drink with you today."
"Aren't you driving?"
"It's okay, just call a designated driver."
"Alright."
After we ordered, the owner went to prepare the food.
The two sat at the table, and for a moment they were silent.
Su Xiao took out her phone, looked at the photos she had just taken, and suddenly asked, "Chen Mo, do you think it's okay for us to lie to our families like this?"
Chen Mo paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "There's nothing we can do about it."
"yes……"
Su Xiao sighed, put down her phone, and lamented, "My parents are pressuring me too much. Every time they call, they ask about the progress. I had no other choice but to come up with this idea."
"understand."
Chen Mo nodded: "My mom is the same way. She can't wait for me to get married tomorrow and have a baby the day after tomorrow."
"So...you really haven't considered marriage?"
Su Xiao looked at him with a hint of probing in her eyes and said, "Or maybe we could seriously date someone."
"I haven't considered it yet."
Chen Mo was silent for a few seconds, then shook his head: "I think it's fine as it is now, I'm free and can do whatever I want."
"Too……"
Su Xiao lowered her head, fiddling with the tissues on the table, and lowered her voice.
"Actually, I haven't thought about it, but my family is pressuring me, and sometimes it's really annoying."
"Let's just deal with it like this for now."
Chen Mo smiled and said, "After a while, when they really start pressuring us, we'll say it's not appropriate to be virgins."
"Um."
Su Xiao looked up and smiled, "At least I don't have to go on blind dates and meet those weird people."
"Same to you."
At this moment, the owner brought over the grilled fish and barbecue.
The aroma is irresistible, making one's mouth water.
"Here, eat first."
Chen Mo picked up his chopsticks, took a piece of fish and put it in Su Xiao's bowl, saying, "Have some energy. You look exhausted from crying today."
"You still dare to talk back!"
Su Xiao blushed, glared at him, but her eyes were full of laughter.
This was the first time she had ever cried in front of a man.
Although it wasn't because of the other person.
