[I'm off today, shall we go to the movies?] On Sunday, Li Hao sent a message to Xia Rui.

Xia Rui knew that she couldn't keep running away like this. She needed to find a suitable time to tell Li Hao the truth.

However, every time she wanted to speak, she couldn't say it. She was afraid of losing Li Hao, and afraid that this hard-earned relationship would be broken because of her family background. She was conflicted and struggling, not knowing what to do.

When she saw the invitation from Li Hao, her hesitation was temporarily put aside and she decided to enjoy the time they spent together.

Xia Rui dressed up carefully, put on her favorite dress, put on light makeup, and then arrived at the community where Xia Ying lived in advance and sat in the pavilion waiting for Li Hao.

Not long after, Li Hao arrived and took her to the cinema. It was her first time to be in a cinema owned by the Jiang Group.

Li Hao sent her several movies that were currently in theaters in advance for her to choose from.

In fact, Xia Rui had seen all these movies. She had watched them at home before they were released, so she chose a police and gangster movie that Li Hao should like.

The two entered the screening room, the lights dimmed, and Xia Rui walked behind Li Hao.

Suddenly, Li Hao turned around, stretched out his hand, and whispered, "Be careful." His voice sounded particularly gentle in the darkness.

Xia Rui was stunned for half a second, then smiled and gently placed her hand on Li Hao's palm, feeling the warmth of his palm. This was their first time holding hands, and although it was just a small action, it made Xia Rui feel extremely sweet. The deer in her heart was running around like crazy, and she almost screamed with excitement.

Li Hao took her hand and walked towards their seats, "Please make way."

The voice was so gentle. Xia Rui looked up at the back of Li Hao's head. She couldn't help but want to reach out and touch it.

The two walked to their seats and sat down. Li Hao still held Xia Rui's hand tightly, unwilling to let go.

The movie started, and the images on the big screen changed, but Xia Rui's attention was completely focused on Li Hao. She looked at his profile, and saw his eyes changing with the plot, and her heart was almost filled with this feeling of happiness.

"Why are you looking at me all the time?" Li Hao suddenly turned his head to look at her.

Xia Rui's face instantly turned red. She was caught peeking. She smiled sheepishly and whispered, "You are more handsome than the male lead in the movie."

The corners of Li Hao's mouth rose slightly, outlining a gentle arc. He held Xia Rui's hand tightly, as if he was afraid that she would slip away in this passionate love. He leaned close to Xia Rui's ear and asked softly, "Do you like it?

Xia Rui clearly felt the throbbing in her heart, and her heart was beating non-stop. She smiled with her lips pursed, and did not answer, but the smile in her eyes was like a bright star, shining in the dim screening room.

Li Hao chuckled softly, turned his head to look at the big screen, his eyes moving between the light and shadow, but he quietly passed his fingertips through her fingers and held them tightly.

Xia Rui looked down at the two people's interlocked hands, and her heart felt as sweet as if it was melted by honey. She was completely immersed in the feeling of happiness.

As the plot of the movie went through ups and downs, the audience kept roaring, but Xia Rui's eyes always stayed on Li Hao's profile. His outline was particularly clear in the light and shadow, and every subtle expression touched her heart.

As the movie ended, the lights came back on and the audience members stood up and left.

Li Hao said: "Let's wait until there are fewer people before leaving. It's a bit crowded now."

Xia Rui nodded and asked, "Is the movie good?"

Li Hao paused, a hint of embarrassment flashed in his eyes, and he answered truthfully: "To be honest, I didn't even watch it."

Xia Rui was stunned at first, then she smiled and said jokingly, "It contributed to the box office in vain."

Li Hao also laughed, and his laugh was very warm.

"What do you want to eat? I'll take you to work after you finish eating."

Xia Rui tilted her head slightly, thought for a moment, and then said, "I want to eat the noodles in that alley. Do you remember? We've been there together before."

Li Hao nodded and smiled: "Of course I remember. It's rare that you can eat half a bowl of noodles from that restaurant. I guess you really like it."

Xia Rui smiled and nodded. She had never had a big appetite and would always feel full after just a few bites of food. But the only time she ate at the noodle shop in the alley that Li Hao took her to, after eating there once, the taste of that bowl of noodles was deeply imprinted on her taste buds and she kept thinking about it.

The two walked hand in hand all the way to the parking lot. It had been two and a half hours since they entered the cinema.

Standing in front of the car, they naturally let go of each other's hands. At that moment, Xia Rui felt an inexplicable loss, as if she had lost something important. She looked down at her hands, where Li Hao's warmth was still lingering, but now it was empty.

Li Hao also felt this subtle change. He turned to look at Xia Rui and said, "Get in the car."

Xia Rui nodded, walked silently to the passenger seat and got in the car.

Li Hao got into the driver's seat and started the car.

Xia Rui looked at the night view outside the window and felt a faint sadness quietly spreading.

She had a strong desire in her heart, that is, to hold hands with Li Hao forever, walk through every spring, summer, autumn and winter, and see the prosperity and loneliness of the world. This emotion was so strong that it almost broke through her chest and made her unable to control herself.

Li Hao noticed Xia Rui's silence, and he asked softly, "What's wrong? What are you thinking about?"

Xia Rui turned to look at Li Hao and said with a smile: "I was wondering which kind of noodles to eat."

Li Hao smiled and said, "Don't worry, just order them all and leave the rest to me."

Xia Rui responded, still feeling a little melancholy, but she knew she couldn't stay immersed in this emotion, so she tried to adjust her mentality and make herself more positive and sunny.

The car slowly drove into the parking space in front of the noodle shop, and the two got out and walked into the store.

The noodle shop is small but clean and tidy.

"Captain Li, you brought your girlfriend here to eat noodles again." The boss greeted them warmly, as if they were old friends.

Li Hao smiled and did not deny it.

Sitting down at a table, Xia Rui looked at the various noodles on the menu, struggling over which one to order. She wanted to eat the signature noodles, and she also wanted to try the seafood noodles, and the beef noodles also made her excited.

"Signature noodles, seafood noodles, braised meat noodles, sour soup noodles..." he whispered to himself.

Li Hao looked at her tangled expression, with a doting smile on his face. He said directly to the boss, "Boss, give me one portion of the signature noodles, seafood noodles, braised meat noodles, and sour soup noodles."

The boss responded and turned to prepare the noodles.

Xia Rui looked at Li Hao in surprise and said, "You ordered so much, we can't finish it."

Li Hao said, "It's okay, I can finish it, you can taste the rest and give it to me."
