Taijie is not always brightly lit at night. Some clothing stores that open in advance turn off their lights early, causing some parts of the street to look a bit deserted.

However, Tang Xu and Qin Zheng were not planning to go deeper into Taijie Street. There were basically many people in the shallower part of the street. After all, there was a lot of passenger traffic in this area.

According to the plan set by Tang Xu and Qin Zheng in advance, they planned to go directly to the movie. After all, if they didn't go to the movie, it would be too late for them to go home after the movie was over.

"Want to watch this youth-themed animated movie called "Lonely Sakura"? The name sounds rather sad. The "Pipilong Show" next to it is a new theatrical version. Do you want to consider it?"

Tang Xu made final confirmation to Qin Zheng beside him, while Qin Zheng glared at him, looking a bit coquettish.

"You are not a child. Besides, parents usually bring their children to see Pipilong. We..."

"We can also take the dragon cub to see it, right, dragon cub?"

Tang Xu lowered his head and looked at his feet, only to find that the dragon cub had disappeared at some point.

He looked around and soon spotted the dragon cub at a roadside vendor selling fried potato chips.

"See, it doesn't have to worry about us at all. It can get food wherever it goes..."

Tang Xu spread his hands with an indifferent expression on his face.

The dragon cub was squatting next to the uncle who was frying potato chips. The uncle had already turned gray on his temples. The only thing that remained unchanged was that he was still selling fried potato chips on Tai Street. It was already a time-honored brand that was self-propelled in human form.

The uncle took a round box, filled it with some potato slices, and placed it in front of the dragon cub.

The dragon cub was not polite and quickly started eating.

"You little guy, why are you still so energetic after so many years? I'm already old, hey..."

The uncle, who had a vaguely old look on his face, smiled with a little sadness. The dragon cub stopped eating potato chips and patted the old cloth shoes on the uncle's feet with his front paws as a gesture of comfort.

"The young couple who used to bring you here often have their children grown up now, right? That girl is really beautiful. In all my life, I have never seen a girl more beautiful than her."

The uncle sighed, and the dragon cub barked softly, looking at Tang Xu who was discussing something with Qin Zheng at the entrance of the cinema in the distance.

"So it's him. This kid looks so much like his dad."

The uncle smiled and looked at Tang Xu in the distance. At this time, two girls happened to come to buy potato chips, and he quickly greeted them with a smile.

After sending the two young girls away, the uncle looked back and found that the dragon cub that was eating potato chips at his feet was gone, and the fried potato chips in the small round box were empty.

"Little guy, you eat quite quickly."

The old man, who already looked a bit older, bent down and was about to throw the disposable small round box into the trash can. When he picked up the round box, he found a hundred-dollar bill folded in half underneath the box.

The uncle picked up the bright red one hundred yuan in confusion, rubbed it gently in his hand, and immediately looked around, but did not see the dragon cub again.

"You little puppy, you are so particular..."

On the other side, Tang Xu and Qin Zheng quickly booked tickets online and then walked into the cinema side by side.

There are still fifteen minutes left before the movie starts, so I have just enough time to spare.

The two of them first went to the self-service ticket machine to collect tickets, and Tang Xu bought fruit tea and popcorn at the counter before preparing to pass the ticket gate.

"Hall 8."

The staff at the ticket gate whispered to the two of them. They nodded and walked straight inside.

Tang Xu and Chang Le had been here to watch movies before, so Tang Xu was relatively familiar with the environment inside, and he quickly found where Hall 8 was.

Moreover, the two of them were lucky enough that Tang Xu also bought a seat in the middle of the cinema.

The two people were seated next to each other. After sitting down, they quietly waited for the movie to start.

When the cinema suddenly fell into darkness, movie titles began to appear on the big screen.

The production standards of domestic films are really getting higher and higher...

Beyond Tang Xu's imagination, Tang Xu was surprised just by the youthful title sequence.

Under the blue sky, white clouds, grassland and sea, the gentle breeze blew through the corners of the students' school uniforms until they spiraled into the sky.

This kind of youth campus film seems very relaxing. After all, Tang Chu and Qin Zheng are high school students themselves, and Full Stop High School is a humanized high school that would not look out of place even if it was filmed in the movie.

When Tang Xu reached for the popcorn, he happened to touch Qin Zheng's hand.

When the two of them bought popcorn, Qin Zheng originally said she wouldn't buy it because she had already eaten enough for dinner.

But Tang Xu insisted that there must be popcorn when watching a movie. This is a special family ritual, so he bought a bucket.

Of course, the task of holding the popcorn bucket was ultimately handed over to Tang Chu.

When the two people's fingers came into contact in the popcorn bucket in the dark, according to common sense, they should have withdrawn quickly, but neither of them moved away.

A few seconds later, Tang Xu realized that the back of his hand was held by Qin Zheng.

He turned his head in surprise, and with the light reflected from the big screen, he could barely see Qin Zheng's expression.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and then she pulled Tang Xu's fingers until she brought them to her lips. Finally, she opened her mouth and bit the popcorn sandwiched between Tang Xu's fingers.

Everything seemed to go naturally, but when his fingers touched the girl's delicate lips, Tang Xu's hand still trembled subconsciously.

After that, Qin Zheng put Tang Xu's hand back into the popcorn bucket, as if nothing had happened, and continued to concentrate on watching the animated movie on the big screen in front of him...

However, Tang Xu could already feel his heart pounding because of Qin Zheng's actions just now.

Oops, she is so good...

Tang Xu only had this idea in his mind. He had no intention of watching the movie on the big screen in front of him, so he could only pretend to be calm.

Since it is an animated movie, although it focuses on youth themes, some children will also come to watch the movie.

Most of them gathered together in twos and threes. Next to Qin Zheng was a boy who looked like he was in the fifth or sixth grade of elementary school. He should have come with his companions.

It's just that when the little boy was watching the movie quietly, he would turn away from time to time, and he didn't know why.

Qin Zheng noticed this, followed the boy's gaze and turned her head, and found that sitting behind the boy was a boy about the same age as Qin Zheng, except that he had bright yellow hair and was dressed more like an idle member of society.

The boy was watching the movie in the most comfortable way with his legs stretched out, and from time to time he discussed the progress of the plot with the female companion beside him, without any intention of controlling the volume.

When he occasionally shook his legs, he would kick his feet behind the little boy's seat, causing the boy discomfort. However, the boy was still young after all. When he looked back and saw the other person's appearance, although he was unhappy, he still felt uncomfortable.

Too timid to speak.

"This classmate, could you please stop kicking the back of the child's chair so that he can't watch the movie?"

Although Qin Zheng had controlled the volume to a very low level, it still attracted the attention of other nearby viewers.

Of course, Tang Xu also heard Qin Zheng's voice. He turned around and looked at the other party's clothes and careless look, and he had a general idea.

"Is he your brother?"

The boy with yellow hair asked Qin Zheng, and Qin Zheng shook his head gently.

"Then why do you care so much?"

The other party showed an obviously unreasonable attitude. Qin Zheng was speechless for a moment. Just when he didn't know what to say, Tang Xu's voice came slowly from the side.

"You're less than 1.7 meters tall, how can you pretend to have long legs in a movie theater..."

The yellow-haired boy's behavior in the cinema had long aroused dissatisfaction among other spectators. Hearing the sarcasm in Tang Xu's words, the surrounding spectators also burst into laughter in twos and threes.

"What did you say? Tell me something else?"

The boy with yellow hair felt embarrassed when he heard the laughter around him, so he got angry and raised his tone a bit.

The female companion on the side quickly pulled him and repeatedly advised him not to be impulsive.

"I said you are less than 1.7 meters tall and you would bully children in the cinema. What's wrong, did you hit a sore spot?"

Tang Xu held his shoulders with his hands, his eyes filled with contempt, and he looked indifferent when he spoke.

"Okay, if you have the guts, just wait."

After all, it was in a public place, and the other party didn't want to do anything bad, so he said harsh words and at the same time said nothing amidst the advice of his female companion.

Qin Zheng looked at the little boy next to him. He was wearing black-rimmed glasses and sitting quietly on his seat without buying any snacks or drinks.

It was obvious that he seemed a little timid because of the quarrels that had just occurred around him, and he straightened his back and no longer leaned on the seat.

Qin Zheng took the popcorn bucket held in Tang Xu's arms and stretched it towards the little boy.

"Take it and eat it with your friends, it'll be fine."

With a smile on her face, she comforted the little boy in a low voice, and at the same time stretched out her palm to gently rub the boy's little head.

Tang Xu looked at Qin Zheng's gentle actions beside him, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Qin Zheng is like a little sun, always bringing warmth to those around her.

When the movie ended, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.

There was no way, Tang Xu and Qin Zheng came out of the house too late.

Fortunately, tomorrow is the weekend, so there is no need to rush to school.

There were almost no people on Tai Street, and it was extremely deserted at this time.

After the two people walked out of the cinema, they prepared to leave Taijie and go home.

"Don't you need to find the dragon cub?"

Qin Zheng looked around and whispered to Tang Xu.
