Chapter 17 Watching Movies

Ke Yici was holding a bucket of popcorn and a pack of shrimp crackers, and Wen Ling was holding two glasses of iced Coke. The two walked sideways to their seats one by one, bent over and sat down, and both let out a comfortable sigh. sigh.

Wen Ling handed Ke Yici a cup of Coke, Ke Yici put the popcorn bucket in the middle of the seat, took the Coke and placed it on his right.The commercials and fire protection videos were playing on the screen. Wen Ling put his hand into the bucket, put a piece of popcorn into his mouth, and chewed it.When the dragon logo appeared on the screen, Wen Ling stopped chewing for fear of disturbing others, and the popcorn slowly melted in her mouth.Ke Yici took a sip of Coca-Cola and glanced sideways at Wen Ling's state. The other party was engrossed in the direction of the plot and didn't notice Ke Yici's sneak peek at all.

The film is called "Finch", and it is about years of environmental pollution caused by human beings to hollow out the atmosphere, and the ultraviolet rays scorched the earth and caused the end of the earth.A terminally ill engineer hides in an underground bunker, builds an AI robot, and teaches it to take care of a puppy for him.

The one-day-old robot looks silly, and the engineer told the robot that since there is no protection from the atmosphere, the daytime temperature is as high as 70 degrees Celsius, and neither humans nor puppies can be directly exposed to solar radiation without protective measures.

Wen Ling watched intently, and put popcorn into his mouth one by one.Ke Yici's mind was not on the movie at all, and he stared at Wen Ling unscrupulously in the dark theater environment.He was thinking about how to hold Wen Ling's hand naturally for the next two hours without looking deliberate. His eyes fell on the popcorn bucket. He stretched out his hand and pulled it away when Wen Ling's hand entered the popcorn bucket. Points at the touch of your fingertips.Wen Ling didn't notice Ke Yici's small movements at all. He fixed his eyes on the big screen, watching the engineer drive away to Los Angeles with the puppy and the robot, and passed by the gang of robbers on the road, feeling lingering in his heart.

Ke Yici's attempts failed, and the courage he had finally summoned disappeared. He slumped his shoulders, rested his chin with his right hand, and watched a movie with his left arm on the armrest.The plot has already progressed to the second half. The earth's atmosphere has been corroded by pollutants into a cheese-like shape. Los Angeles is just under a piece of residual atmosphere. The engineer stretched out his hand and tremblingly reached into the sun, but he was not burned by ultraviolet rays.The background music was relaxing and soothing. The engineer took out a parasol from the RV, put on a crisp white suit, stretched out the beach chair, and sat under the umbrella to chat with the robot.

At this moment, the engineer was terminally ill, coughing continuously without saying a word.

Wen Ling stopped holding the popcorn, and slowly placed it on Ke Yici's arm. Both of them were wearing short sleeves. The air-conditioning in the theater was sufficient, and their warm skin was touching. Ke Yici shuddered excitedly.Wen Ling thought that Ke Yici was blown cold by the air conditioner, so he got closer to the other party. The warm palm covered the cold back of his hand. Ke Yici was motionless and his limbs were stiff. meaning.

The engineer on the screen died of illness, and the robot drove to the Los Angeles Bridge with the puppy.The water surface on the bridge is wide, and the photos left by countless travelers are pasted on the railing. The robot sticks the postcard of the engineer on the handrail, and leads the puppy to an unknown distance.From near to far, the camera is fixed on the magnificent Los Angeles Bridge.

Scrolling subtitles played on the screen, and Wen Ling gave Ke Yici his warm left hand one second before the lights in the theater came on.When Ke Yici took back his palm, he seemed to be a restarted robot, and finally regained control of his limbs and mouth. The puppy in his heart whimpered and barked endlessly.But he could only stumble out a few barren words: "Ah, that, the movie, yes, the movie is over."

Wen Ling nodded. He stood up, holding a half-drunk Coke bottle and an empty popcorn bucket, and said, "Let's go."

"Let's go." Ke Yici rubbed his cheeks in a little embarrassment, secretly hoping that he would not blush.

In Wen Ling's eyes, Ke Yici's cheeks were no different from steamed crab shells. He pursed his lips and pressed down the corners of his lips that were about to turn up.Following the crowd out of the theater, he looked back at Ke Yici deliberately. The other person's face was not as red as before, but the combination of calm expression and red ears was still very funny.

Wen Ling couldn't hold back her smile, turned her head and looked ahead, half a step ahead of Ke Yi's resignation, and her brisk steps revealed his happy mood.A toilet sign appeared on the left hand side of the theater entrance, and the two turned in tacitly. After Wen Ling solved his personal problems, he pushed open the door of the private room and walked to the sink. Ke Yici was washing his face frantically.

Regrettably seeing the blush on Ke Yici's ears fade, Wen Ling turned on the faucet to wash his sweaty palms, and the phone in his pocket vibrated.Ke Yici handed over a napkin, Wen Ling took it and wiped his hands, took out his phone, and the screen showed that Wen Ruixue was calling.

Wen Ling swiped the connect button, and Wen Ruixue's voice came: "Brother, are you free now?"

Hearing Wen Ruixue's low and tired voice, Wen Ling said, "Yes."

"I'm at the Jinshui Fifth Road Police Station." Wen Ruixue said, "Can you come pick me up?"

"Okay." Wen Ling responded, hung up the phone, and walked out of the bathroom with a serious expression on his face.

Ke Yici followed him out without knowing why, and asked, "What happened?"

[My sister is at the Jinshui [-]th Road Police Station, I don't know what happened. 】Wen Ling gestured anxiously, 【Can you drive me there? 】

"Okay, the elevator is over there." Ke Yici held Wen Ling's shoulders and said calmly, "Don't worry, Xiaoxue can call you, which means she still has the ability to move." He pulled Wen Ling towards the elevator , Press the down button, "The police station encounters many things every day, not only vicious incidents, but also many trivial matters. I have hosted two seasons of police promotional programs, believe me."

Ke Yici's words relieved Wen Ling's anxiety, the elevator opened, Ke Yici stepped into the car, and raised his hand to press down on the second floor.Ke Yici's car was parked in the fifth parking space to the right of the elevator door. Wen Ling trotted to the right of the vehicle, opened the door and sat in the co-pilot, and put on his seat belt. Ke Yici took out his mobile phone to navigate, started the car, and drove out. underground garage.

Half an hour later, Ke Yici drove to the gate of the police station, put Wen Ling down first, and went to find the nearest parking space.Wen Ling stepped into the office hall in a panic, looked around, and saw Wen Ruixue listlessly sitting on a chair against the wall.

"Xiaoxue." Wen Ling ran over, pulled Wen Ruixue to stand up, and checked her sister up and down to see if she was injured.

"Brother, I'm fine." Wen Ruixue said, she reached out her hand to wipe off the sweat from Wen Ling's forehead, showing guilt, "Did I interrupt your play schedule with Brother Ci?"

"No." Wen Ling shook his head, and he gestured 【What happened?Why are you at the police station?Do I need to talk to my parents? 】

"Let's go out and talk." Wen Ruixue pulled her anxious brother out of the police station, and met Ke Yici who ran over after parking the car. She said in surprise, "Brother Ci is here too?"

"Let me take a look." Ke Yici said, "I'm worried about you two children."

Wen Ruixue didn't even bother to find a coffee shop. She stood on the corner of the street and said, "A man called me a few days ago and asked me to meet my biological parents at a coffee shop nearby."

Wen Ling frowned, and Ke Yici was puzzled.

"When I arrived at the coffee shop, there was only a middle-aged man, about this tall," Wen Ruixue gestured. "He claimed to be my uncle, and he spoke Henan dialect. He asked me to go home with him." She took out her phone and took the picture Show Wen Ling the photos and a recording, "I recorded them all, and I will send them to you later. If one day they find me and take me away by force, you can use these evidences to call the police."

Wen Ling stared at the photo. He has practiced drawing for many years and has an amazing talent in recognizing images. He can find clues similar to Wen Ruixue in the facial features of the man. The eyebrows and nose of the man are very similar to Wen Ruixue.

"What date do you start school?" Ke Yici asked.

"I went back to Beijing with my brother, and I started school a day later than him," Wen Ruixue said.

"Don't go out alone during this time." Ke Yici said, "Is there surveillance in the store?"

"Yes." Wen Ling said.

"Don't go out of the scope of the surveillance cameras. If you can't, close the store." Ke Yici said, "Stay at home, don't run around, and tell your parents about this." He took out the car keys, " Let's go, I'll take you home first."
