Chapter 1768: Younger Generation Side Story (32): Movie, Sharing a Home, A Kiss in the Dark (2)

Yan Chi spoke and turned to look at the screen, lowered his head, and took a sip of cola. That was the one she had just touched, how could he...

Jiang Ruan turned her head to look at the screen, but felt her heart racing, as if it would leap out of her throat. The soda she drank just now seemed to have flowed to her heart, and her whole body felt electrified, anyway, it was all buzzing sounds.

Her throat was dry and itchy, wanting to drink some water to soothe it, but it felt like the more she drank, the thirstier she became.

In the darkness, she even felt the heat on her lips had spread to her limbs, her face burning uncomfortably. She raised her hand to pull up her mask, leaving only her eyes exposed to stare at the screen, wishing she could bury herself in her clothes.

She was always worried Yan Chi would do something unexpected to her. Clearly, it was a movie she had been anticipating for a long time, yet she didn’t know what the entire film was about.

However, Yan Chi was seriously focused on the screen and didn’t do anything else. When the film finished and the lights in the theater came on, Jiang Ruan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling she was overly neurotic, seemingly expecting something. Yet Yan Chi hadn’t done anything.

The movie ended, and everyone left the screening room. For a moment, there were quite a few people. During the movie, nothing happened, but after it ended...

Yan Chi held her hand.

"Watch the steps, walk slowly."

Actually, their relationship was at a stage where both knew each other’s feelings, just cautiously probing and understanding. Otherwise, no girl would let a man she didn’t like hold her hand casually.

Jiang Ruan bit her lip, letting him lead her out of the cinema.

It was already past midnight, and as the night wind blew, Jiang Ruan shivered uncontrollably, instinctively tightening her grip on the only warm source she could hold...

Yan Chi’s hand!

"Cold?"

"Really cold." Jiang Ruan shrunk her neck.

"Then let’s go home."

Home... going home?

The dialogue, the tone, why was it so much like a newlywed couple?

Simply insufferable.

Jiang Ruan felt a warm rush in her heart, letting him lead her back. Passing the entrance of the community, the security guard sat in the guardhouse, watching the two return hand in hand, his eyes lit up.

Usually, Jiang Ruan would bring others over to play, and they didn’t pay much attention, but hand in hand, it was the first time...

After they left, the security guard muttered:

"I’ve watched her grow up, didn’t expect she already started dating. This young guy, looks nice, tall, seems reliable."

To elders, it doesn’t matter if he’s aloof and taciturn, as long as he’s steady and reliable to be entrusted to. Yan Chi’s looks are really too steady, too reliable.

"She must be in her twenties, dating is normal. I originally thought she was close with that child from the Qi Family, and both families are familiar, maybe they’d bond through marriage. Seems I overthought it. I wonder if Fourth Master knows."

"Should know, the two go in and out together."

The security at Yi Garden has always been tight-lipped, chatting privately among themselves. They don’t like to gossip, so this matter hadn’t yet reached Jiang Chengsi.

Jiang Chengsi was also not asleep yet, his routine reversed night and day for years, always sleeping late. But Si Qingxiao had woken up and found him still leaning on the headboard, looking at some documents.

"Why aren’t you asleep yet?"

"Am I disturbing you?"

"No." Si Qingxiao turned over, "That girl Ruan is really something, every time she goes to Taotao’s place, she never thinks of calling home. Those sisters together must be having crazy fun."

"As long as nothing happens, she seldom gets to reunite here, Taotao has time too, so let her stay for a couple of days." Jiang Chengsi is inherently easy-going, not strict with the children.

"If something happens, it’ll be too late for you to manage."

"With Taotao there, what could happen? Plus, our daughter is so well-behaved, you know that." Jiang Chengsi is quite confident in this.

...

It was too late then, couldn’t let him drive back home in the middle of the night. More importantly, Yan Chi directly said he worried about her illness recurring, so tonight he didn’t plan to leave.

So Jiang Ruan took him to Jiang Chengsi’s room, opened the wardrobe, "These are my dad’s clothes, left here from when he stayed. Find any that look pleasing and fit, just pick one."

Yan Chi examined the wardrobe, his head aching a bit.

"When are these clothes from?"

"Probably from when my dad was young, the styles aren’t outdated." Fashion trends cycle every few years, recently retro styles started trending again, anyway, Jiang Chengsi’s clothes don’t look out of place now.

Yan Chi pulled out a studded jacket...

"Your father was quite fashionable when he was younger."

Jiang Ruan coughed twice, more than fashionable, he was a trailblazer of fashion!

When Jiang Chengsi stayed here, he hadn’t started internship or work, the clothes were quite stylish, and included many biker jackets, completely different from Yan Chi’s style.

"There should be more normal clothes." Jiang Ruan coughed.

"I’ll find it myself." Yan Chi looked at the pile of clothes, feeling an inexplicable helplessness.

His taste in aesthetics really is...

Indescribable!

Thinking Si Qingxiao is into fashion designing, her tastes naturally impeccable, he really can’t imagine how the two clicked and bonded back then. After all, in Beijing, stories about Jiang Chengsi are still good.

In his youth, he was a dashing roguish loner, a wild and untamed stallion.

How could Jiang Chengsi know now, just nearby, Jiang Ruan had already brought the "wild man" home, and this "wild man" continually questioned his taste and aesthetics, reluctantly wearing his clothes.

**

Jiang Ruan originally thought she wouldn’t sleep well that night, considering Yan Chi stayed in the same house, she even worried her family might come by unexpectedly, locking the main door from the inside.

Perhaps due to taking medicine for her illness, she slept soundly through the night, waking at over eight in the morning.

Going downstairs, she saw Yan Chi had already made breakfast, and the clothes he wore...

Almost made her burst out laughing!

Yan Chi’s headache returned; this outfit definitely wasn’t his style, he felt awkward wearing it himself.

Jiang Chengsi is quite picky, his clothing style isn’t something most can pull off.

"Looks bad?" This was the best outfit Yan Chi could match together, in his aesthetic, the most normal set.

"It’s okay; your face is nice." Jiang Ruan said, then snickered, she never noticed how tricky her dad’s clothes were before.

Actually, Yan Chi didn’t look bad, probably not used to changing from suits to another style, appearing awkward.

"After this meal, come with me to buy clothes." Yan Chi straightforwardly said.

Jiang Ruan laughed heartily, agreeing, yet realizing soon after, "Aren’t you going home to change?"

Yan Chi stared at her seriously, "Who told you I’m going home?"

"..."

Coming to another’s house, how did he manage to be so blatantly confident?

"Ruan Ruan."

"Hmm?"

"Do you want me to leave?"

Jiang Ruan coughed twice, "We’re near my house, my dad and them might come by, if they find out..."

"So what? We’re not doing anything shady."

Jiang Ruan felt he was truly bold, though thinking about it, it made sense, they aren’t having an affair, but the most dangerous places are often the safest.
