At one o'clock in the middle of the night, Du Jingxiu arrived at the cinema on time.

Stuffing the movie ticket into the side pocket of his jacket, he picked up a snack he just bought in one hand.

That's the bad thing about going to the movies by yourself - things can get out of hand sometimes.

Du Jingxiu looked at the glass of Coke left on the counter, sighed, and planned to pour the two snacks into a box, and free one hand to hold the drink.

However, just as he was about to move, someone helped him.

"senior."

Du Jingxiu froze.

The voice was so familiar that he knew who it was without turning around.

Although I don't think about it day and night, it always touches the heartstrings from time to time.

Sure enough, Pei Youli was holding a bucket of popcorn and a cup of hot milk tea on her wrist, watching him with a smile on her face.

A mouse gray brown coat, sky blue jeans, and a creamy white sweater with a little bit of neckline exposed, because the static electricity is inseparable from her curly black hair.

"you……"

"I'm going to watch a movie."

Du Jingxiu was speechless.

"Shi Xun has a job and went abroad. I am bored at night, so I go out to eat and watch movies."

Seeming to know what he was going to ask, Pei Youli explained the reason why she appeared here.

There are too many people during the day, if artists want to watch a movie quietly, they usually choose night.

Or private theaters and drive-in theaters.

"Ah..." Du Jingxiu paused for a few seconds, "What are you looking at?"

Pei Youli immediately said: "Parasite."

"Parasite" is the pinnacle of Korean movies in recent years. It just won the Palme d'Or in Cannes some time ago, and was also shortlisted for the Oscars, and the probability of winning the best film is very high.

Du Jingxiu is working hard to develop in the direction of an actor, and whenever he has time, he will come to the cinema to study the acting skills of the seniors.

"Did Senior watch this too?"

Pei Youli looked up at the film list, only "Parasite", Doraemon and a horror film will be shown tonight.

He's not here to see...

Meeting her gaze, Du Jingxiu quickly explained: "I also watched "Parasite"."

"Then let's go in together?" Pei Youli took a step forward, "Actually, Doraemon is pretty pretty."

Although it is an anime movie, it is very interesting and conveys some thoughts that only adults can understand.

"Actually... I've read it," Du Jingxiu replied softly, "This one is Adventures on the Moon."

Pei Youli smiled, and found her location according to her memory.

Du Jingxiu stood beside her, hesitating slightly.

The seat numbers on the tickets were a little far apart, but there were only the two of them in the entire auditorium.

Do you want...together?

"Senior, just sit here." Before Du Jingxiu finished tangling, Pei Youli generously invited, "We can watch together."

Du Jingxiu's gaze froze on her clear eyes.

Pei Youli really didn't know anything about his thoughts, Wu Shixun probably never told her.

"……it is good."

Du Jingxiu put away the snacks in her hand, pulled out the chair and sat down.

"Well, I can still be a companion."

Pei Youli put the popcorn bucket in the middle, then handed him the Coke.

"Thank you."

Du Jingxiu thanked politely.

Pei Youli glanced at him.

I don't know if it's because of his quiet personality, this senior always gives her a feeling of restraint and alienation.

She turned her head and plunged the straw into the milk tea.

The movie starts soon.

Neither of them was the noisy type in private, and there were only movies and breathing in the screening room.

Du Jingxiu tried her best to focus on the big screen, but she was always unconsciously attracted by the people around her.

Pei Youli has been eating.

The light from the screen reflected her nails, clean and clear.

"Senior, don't you eat?"

She turned her head slightly, meeting his gaze.

"……eat."

Being caught peeking, Du Jingxiu suddenly felt a little guilty, and immediately lowered her eyes, avoiding Pei Youli's gaze.

The popcorn is caramel-flavored, crunchy and soft, melting slowly in the mouth, very sweet.

"It's delicious."

"There are not many people at night, and the counter is nothing but chocolate."

"Ah."

The atmosphere began to turn cold again.

Du Jingxiu was annoyed, she was usually too quiet, and couldn't find a topic to talk to even with her.

Time passed by, and he didn't know how he survived.

"That senior is called...Song Kanghao?"

In the Korean entertainment industry, Chungmuro ​​actors have the highest status, and the "Troika" is at the top.

Song Kanghao is one of the "troika".

However, he was a little far away from Pei Youli, she only knew this senior's face, even his name was just seen on the credits list.

"Well, it's him, who has acted in many excellent works," Du Jingxiu recalled, "such as "Sorrow"."

"Ah! His Royal Highness and his ruthless father!" Pei Youli suddenly realized, "I just said, I seem to have seen him somewhere."

His Royal Highness and the ruthless father?

It is also appropriate.

Du Jingxiu couldn't help laughing: "Actually, senior Cui Yuzhi's acting skills are not bad."

"Indeed," Pei Youli nodded in agreement, "I've seen his "The Witch"."

At three or four o'clock in the middle of the night in winter, the sky is darker than when it came.

The breath generated by the cold temperature slowly drifts upwards.

"You go home?"

"Well, what about you, senior?"

"I'm going home too."

To be exact, back to the dormitory.

It was too late, and the front door of the cinema was not open. The two came out from the back door and took a detour to get a taxi.

"Oh?" Pei Youli saw something inadvertently, and raised her finger to share with him, "happy... birthday?"

She was stunned, and turned her head in surprise: "Today is senior's birthday?"

Du Jingxiu looked in the direction Pei Youli pointed, it was Chinese fans who supported him.

Birthday... yes, it's past midnight.

This movie theater is near the largest shopping mall in Seoul, and there are more than one side screens for support.

The huge photo was lit up in the dead of night, and he was moved for no reason.

Pei Youli joked with a smile: "It's been eight years since I debuted, senior is so popular."

Du Jingxiu was slightly embarrassed: "It's nothing."

As soon as these three words were spoken, it seemed that he was not very humble.

He added: "It's actually fine."

Wait, how do you feel... the meaning of showing off is more important?

Pei Youli "thumped" out of joy.

This senior is so dumb.

"Get in the car." After beckoning for a long time, Du Jingxiu finally stopped a taxi, "I'll take you home first."

Pei Youli wanted to decline, but it was not a gentleman's job to let a girl go back by herself, he insisted.

The driver was a bit older, but recognized the two of them.

"Perhaps... you are from redvelvet..."

Pei Youli suppressed and nodded politely: "Yes, yolee, hello."

"Sure enough, I'm not mistaken," the driver uncle smiled kindly, "My daughter has bought a lot of your albums."

Through the rearview mirror, he looked at Du Jingxiu: "Is that your boyfriend? He looks... a little familiar."

It is indeed easy to be misunderstood for a female artist who claims to be single to ride in the same car with a boy late at night.

"No," Pei Youli denied, "I'm a good friend."

Worried about being recognized, Du Jingxiu pressed her hat.

however--

"Senior, let's go into the room and sit for a while."

Pei Youli didn't seem to worry about the driver's misunderstanding deepening at all, and he would speak out and invite politely.

The latter was silent for a few seconds: "Is it inconvenient?"

"It's okay, I happen to be a little hungry and I need to eat," Pei Youli explained, "Isn't senior also hungry?"

Just now in the car, she heard his stomach growl a few times.

Du Jingxiu didn't refuse anymore, and followed Pei Youli out of the car.

There is a lot of space in the house, with a wide blanket on the sofa and two dolls.

Wu Vivi was at home, and saw a familiar figure running over actively wagging his little tail.

It also recognized Du Jingxiu, so it didn't bark much.

"Senior, sit down."

Pei Youli made him a cup of hot tea.

The hot tea is first astringent and then fragrant, and the warmth spreads to the heart along the fingertips.

Du Jingxiu waited in the living room for a while, then walked into the kitchen.

"You want to make a cake?"

"Well, soon, it's more suitable for breakfast," Pei Youli smiled at him slightly, "And, of course, I have to eat cake on my birthday."

With limited materials and tools, she couldn't do it very beautifully. She simply mixed flour, eggs, milk and sugar, and beat them.

The cake embryo was put into the oven, and Pei Youli washed some fruit.

“The neighborhood is green.”

"Because I was complained by the owner before."

"You are the only one on this floor?"

"Well, it's more convenient."

"Wu Shixuan... how does he treat you?"

Du Jingxiu couldn't hold back, and asked this question.

Having entered the private space of his younger brother and her, he suddenly wanted to know more.

Pei Youli was puzzled: "Senior, why do you ask such a question?"

"...Shixun is usually very naughty in the dormitory," Du Jingxiu casually found an excuse, concealing his true inner thoughts, "I'm afraid he will trouble you."

The tone is like an old father who is about to hand over his son.

"So that's how it is." Pei Youli smiled, considering the adjectives, "Shi Xun...he's a little childish occasionally, but he's very sincere."

He worked very hard to take care of her.

"...That's good." Du Jingxiu pursed her lips and replied mechanically.

"Senior often watch movies by himself?" Pei Youli asked.

"Yes," Du Jingxiu answered truthfully, "Often."

"Why?" Pei Youli was curious, "Don't you feel lonely?"

"Just get used to it," Du Jingxiu said softly, "Watching movies by yourself... can escape some things."

Pei Youli asked back: "Escape?"

"Yes," Du Jingxiu usually doesn't talk too much with others, but at this moment, the object is Pei Youli, and he inexplicably wants her to know him better, "I don't know how to solve this matter."

Pei Youli, who was listening patiently, thought of herself.

I ignored the driver just now because she was leaving.

So even if there is a scandal, it will not have any substantial impact.

The world is about to return to zero, but Pei Youli can't say goodbye.

Whether it's redvelvet or Wu Shixun.

According to Du Jingxiu, if you don't say goodbye...it should be a good way to deal with it.

"Ding--"

The oven issued a reminder, Pei Youli put on a thick glove, and took out the cake.

"Senior, try it!"

"That's right! I remember there are candles!"

Pei Youli frantically rummaged around the coffee table, and finally found a few here and there.

Du Jingxiu looked at the cake.

No cream, no frills, just plain.

However, she did it.

"Make a wish."

Pei Youli turned off the light.

The lit candle flame swayed slightly above the cake, and Du Jingxiu's eyes didn't blink for a moment.

Will making a wish here really come true?

"Senior, hurry up, the candle liquid is about to fall onto the cake—"

"Little Li."

Pei Youli was startled: "What?"

"sorry."

Du Jingxiu raised her eyes.

Through the hazy yellow light, he gazed at her tenderly.

"Sorry, I didn't visit you in the hospital during that time."

Why did you bring this up all of a sudden?

Pei Youli was a little confused, but she still replied: "Senior didn't go, it's nothing."

Du Jingxiu shook her head lightly, the corners of her lips had a bitter taste.

He clasped his hands together and closed his eyes.

I hope you will be happy every day without me.

This is the only wish I can't express.
