oops my coward

The advantage of being near the cinema is that I can take a nap until I wake up naturally. I touch my phone and see that it is still early, so I have time to take a good shower.After watching the movie later, I have to drop by Mao Cafe to apply for a waiter job. Of course, I should dress well. According to Chen Jiaming's words, it is called "beautiful and beautiful".

Fortunately, he went to a meeting and was not in the dormitory, so he didn't have the opportunity to complain about me.

When I arrived at the appointed gate, I was surprised to find that Ishikawa was already waiting with two glasses of fruit juice, with a tall and straight figure, but his head was hanging down.As if feeling something, he suddenly raised his head, and when he saw me approaching, he immediately showed a very happy smile, and quickly converged on the slightly upward arc of the corner of his mouth.

"Why did you buy the juice?" I blurted out, then realized that I was asking too much stupidly, "No, you... spent a lot of money."

"It's hot." He shook his head and forced a cup into my hand.

I looked down, and there was a heart-shaped label on the cup, which said "Grapefruit with less ice and whole sugar". I couldn't help laughing and asked, "Isn't it more ice?"

Shi Chuan bit his straw, and replied vaguely: "It will be cold." As if he was not the one who swore that it was hot just now.

Okay, I'm very easy-going, especially for the things others give me, I have to be grateful. "Hey, it's so sweet, this store is good." I took a sip, a little surprised.

After hearing this, the people beside him seemed to be relieved, and became more and more happy: "Yeah."

I bought movie tickets online, and Ishikawa and I walked to the movie theater together, only to find that there was a long queue in front of the ticket machine.Ishikawa quickly glanced around, and volunteered: "I'll get it!" Then he pointed to several rows of benches in the hall, "Go sit and rest!"

I declined a few words, but unfortunately he was unmoved, so I had no choice but to agree and send him a QR code later.It will take some time before I can enter the venue. I was bored and noticed that popcorn was sold here, so I picked the not-so-sweet milk flavor.When Shi Chuan squeezed out from many couples and girls walking together, I handed it to him: "Taste it, I'll buy it if it doesn't taste good."

Shi Chuan obediently grabbed a small handful and ate until his mouth was covered with caramel: "Mmm, it's delicious."

"Is it? The milky one is not too sweet, it's very fragrant." I chose this one after fully considering the slight difference in taste between the two. I was so cute by the way he was eating, I twisted a few and stuffed it into my mouth. inside.

Click and click.

Click click.

Click and click.

Before the opening, I went to buy a big bucket again, otherwise the bucket just now would not be enough for the two of us to eat unconsciously.As the main force eating popcorn, Ishikawa blushed a little, and was so stared at by me that he didn't dare to pay, so he turned his face and looked at the promotional posters on the side.

"There will be a horror movie released in a few days...made in China?" I also leaned over, and after seeing it clearly, my tone became a little more disgusted, "Most of the time, it ends up with neurotic hallucinations and other routines. Not scary."

Shi Chuan's face was slightly stiff: "Yes, is it?"

I bit the popcorn in my mouth, and a milky aroma filled my mouth instantly: "Are you afraid of ghosts?"

"Haha, no, I'm not afraid." He almost stuttered, his ears were red as hell.

Looking at his face, I couldn't hold back my smile, so I had to feed myself another handful of food: "It's okay. It seems that we can go in, let's go!" Changed the topic along the way.

Hearing this, Shi Chuan seemed to relax a bit, and his footsteps were a little hasty: "Well, funny movies are still good."

It’s true that there is no silver 300 taels here. I secretly thought it was funny, and I couldn’t help but think that the guy who recorded the live scene before was also afraid of ghosts. I was confused for a moment, and decided to temporarily put aside the doubts about whether the two are similar.

Because it is a youth comedy film, most of the audience are young men and women. Occasionally, a family of three can be seen. The parents are not very old, leading a noisy child.I subconsciously avoided it and let them pass by first. Hey, luckily they were not in our row.Ishikawa suddenly asked: "Do you like children?" He thought that I kept staring at children because he thought children were cute.

I quickly denied it: "No, I only like obedient children, the kind from other people's homes." While talking, I found our place smoothly. It was at the back of the middle, and there was a small aisle next to it, so it was quite convenient to enter and exit.

Shi Chuan replied half-understood and didn't ask any further questions, but his expression was obviously much more relaxed.

As soon as I sat down, I heard the voices of some girls around me talking and laughing a little bit, maybe because we were the only boys in this small place, so they felt a little uncomfortable.What a sin, I muttered under my breath, and turned to stare at the big screen where the ad was playing.After a while, the lights slowly dimmed, and the opening credits began to play, and a huge production company logo and the name of the movie appeared. At the same time, there were several screams from the auditorium.It seems that this movie has a good reputation?There was a lot of cheer so early on, I took some from the top of the popcorn bucket and created a little hole.

Ishikawa next to him seemed to be very nervous, his mouth almost never stopped, he took small sips of juice, and occasionally touched some popcorn with his hand, which further expanded the depression.

Facts have proved that the film is well shot, and after I watched it intently for 10 minutes, I was already a little immersed in the plot.I just heard the "rustling" sound of grabbing popcorn from time to time. I turned my head and glanced, and found that Ishikawa was still tense, as if he was not used to the dark environment, and the corners of his mouth were tightly pursed from the side.Seeing that he was about to knock down the popcorn bucket, I hurriedly gave him a hand, and said in a low voice, "Uncomfortable? You didn't even get one of them just now, you just lost your mind."

His reaction was extremely fast, he looked down, tried to pretend to be ignorant and retracted his fingers, but in the end, he accidentally touched the back of my hand, which made him tremble violently.

I watched him go from dazed to frightening myself the whole time, and I was almost amused. Fortunately, I remembered that I was in the movie theater and dared not make a sound.

Then he said in a slightly aggrieved tone, "I'm sorry."

"What are you apologizing for? Don't watch it if you feel uncomfortable. Let's go." I put away my joking mood and spoke seriously.

Ishikawa shook his head, indicating that it’s okay to continue watching, and then stopped talking to me, and kept his eyes on the screen.

Afterwards, the plot of the movie changed from the campus life of a group of young people to the emotional entanglement between the two male protagonists and the female protagonist, as well as their efforts and difficulties in participating in the music audition. Laughter and tears flew together, and the whole screening hall often There were screams and exclamations.In the spirit of going back to report to Chen Ma, I watched the movie very seriously, but I also noticed that whenever the two male protagonists had any rivalry scenes, the girls around shouted extra excitedly, and the atmosphere was more intense than when the female protagonist appeared. too much.

Immediately afterwards, I myself began to wonder, why are the two male protagonists so ambiguous?Obviously there is also a heroine who is beautiful, has a good figure, and has been working hard to participate in the competition!

This question lingered in my mind until the end of the movie, and we walked out of the auditorium with the crowd.It was very bright outside, Ishikawa squinted his eyes subconsciously, took the empty popcorn bucket from me and threw it into the trash can.I was still struggling, and finally couldn't help asking him: "Ishikawa, what do you think of this movie?"

He was silent for a moment, and said a lot of things about the plot and the picture, but didn't mention what I cared about.

On the contrary, a few girls passed by us, chatting unscrupulously about how well-suited the two male leads are, about the blond-haired and blue-eyed Tsundere Gong and the black-haired and black-eyed honesty, a set of suits, making it seem like they just watched it Youth funny movies are like gay porn movies.I withdrew my gaze and looked at Shi Chuan again, and he also looked back at me with doubts in his eyes.

There was another deliberately suppressed scream from the side.

I belatedly realized that the two big men were looking at each other at the entrance of the movie theater. It was so infuriating, especially when they were surrounded by girls with big brains.After reacting, I hurriedly dragged Ishikawa to the cat cafe that was originally planned, and I didn’t forget to make insinuations on the way, wondering if I was the only male who thought the movie was very gay.But Ishikawa replied very honestly: "The ending is pretty good. The heroine shouldn't be with them in the first place. The two heroines only regard her as a younger sister."

"Okay." I gave up.

The cat cafe has not yet officially opened, so I knocked on the door and explained to Ishikawa that I was looking for a part-time job while waiting.He nodded and said he would accompany me: "I hope it's not a lie." This guy is quite vigilant.

The door was opened by a simple-looking young man who claimed to be the boss, and happily welcomed us in.His wife, sitting at the bar cleaning coffee cups, smiled at us, looking pretty. "Our husband and wife have just returned from resignation, raised several cats, and officially opened the business after recruiting enough people..." He introduced the situation of the store while looking at me, and he seemed to curl his mouth in satisfaction.

The boss looked at Shi Chuan who had been silent since just now: "Are your classmates also applying for the job?"

I also turned my head.

Shi Chuan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "I don't work part-time." Then he added, "I can come to patronize."

There was a look of disappointment on the face, but the boss immediately cheered: "Okay!" He got up to get the part-time contract, and then asked the lady boss to bring us a newly made dessert, "Haha, I just made too much, and you can give me some by the way." Opinion!"

I smiled and took two plates of exquisitely presented cakes. I was not in a hurry to eat them, and took care of the people around me who seemed to be depressed.In fact, you can guess the reason after a little thought. After all, the work content of the waiters is mainly to entertain guests, and the mouth needs to be smarter. Ishikawa's personality is really not suitable.But I couldn't understand his appearance, so I patted his arm to show comfort.

"Huh?" Ishikawa stared fixedly at the place I had photographed, stretched out his hand to touch it, and then suddenly realized, "I, I'm just a little—I'm not sad, really."

"Okay, okay, let's eat the cake, this is given to us by the boss."

The cake was all eaten, and the simple and easy interview was over. Before leaving, the proprietress asked me about my size and said that the shop would provide work clothes.I felt a lot more at ease, and said casually: "I will buy you a watch when I get my salary." Ishikawa didn't want me to pay the full amount before, but after the dispute, I was very guilty and had to agree to the super discount price he proposed.

"Don't worry." Ishikawa shook his head, "Don't be too tired."

When he said this, his expression was very serious. I lowered my head and suddenly felt my face burn. I couldn't help but wonder if there was wine in the cake?

……

It was past seven o'clock in the evening when I returned to the dormitory. I took the packaged fried rice noodles and put the one for Chen Jiaming on his desk.This guy is still sleeping, maybe the meeting was too exhausting, until I turned on all the lights and the room was bright, he slowly woke up: "Hey, have you finished watching the movie?"

"Of course." I ate and broadcast the video for dinner, but my mood was not as happy as it appeared on the surface, "I watched it with Ishikawa—"

Before the words fell, there was a sudden sound of rolling on the bed, and then the sound of climbing down the ladder.I turned my head, met Chen Jiaming's sad and indignant expression of "everything is a foregone conclusion", and calmly added the second half of the sentence, "The movie is very good, but very basic."

Chen Jiaming covered his face: "I'm really discerning, from now on you can change your name to Meng Mosquito Incense."

I tried my best to maintain my calmness on the surface: "Stop it. At present, for the time being, I have a little affection for him, that's all."

"Sooner or later you'll fall in love." He said meaningfully. "Whatever you want, I'll go to dinner."

"Go quickly."

I took a few sips of pho, but I didn't taste anything.After talking with Chen Jiaming just now, I also understand the reason why he wanted me to watch this movie. It was nothing more than to see how I felt about the relationship between the two male protagonists in the movie.As he wished, I felt very sympathetic, and by the way, I also noticed that my perspective on Ishikawa was very sympathetic.

Maybe this is fate, I let out a long sigh, and decided to think carefully about my future after filling my stomach.
