Chapter 20: midnight

In the night cafe, several girls stand in front of the TV with drinks, talking
"This captain is so dumb."
"Puff, three words without leaving the phone, I don't know who to call."
"So anxious, who else can be besides girlfriend, stupid."
Jiang Yan stood in front of the TV screen and heaved a sigh of relief.
He's fine.
A quarter of an hour later, when an unfamiliar phone number came in, Jiang Yan hesitated for a moment, then picked it up.
"Have you gone back?" Lu Lin's voice was quick.
It seems that I finally borrowed the phone.
Jiang Yan sat on a high stool, dangling the milk tea bottle with her fingertips, and prolonged her tone: "Of course, am I still waiting for you."
"That's good." Lu Lin seemed to be relieved.
idiot.
"I saw the news. Brother Lu Lu is now a hero."
"It's long ago." Lu Lin's tone was a little joking: "I just know."
Jiang Yan felt his emotions relax, so that was all right.
She said distressedly: "Hurry up and eat. It's been a busy night, so hard."
"Yeah." Lu Lin paused, then asked: "Have you eaten?"
"I'm home long ago, and today my mother made a fragrant oily stewed pork knuckle."
"Is it delicious?"
"good to eat."
Thinking of braised pig's feet, Jiang Yan grumbled in her stomach and made a solemn protest.
Jiang Yan clutched her belly and said intimately: "Then Lu Lu, go home, after a busy night, take a hot bath, go to bed and rest, good night."
"good night."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yan sighed on the side of the seat of the milk tea shop.
He didn't say anything about the appointment next time, and Jiang Yan certainly wouldn't mention it.
The WeChat message entered the screen of the phone, and it was Tang Ge.
"Tell me, you have already gone home."
Jiang Yan made a [crying] expression.
Tang Bi: "Day..."
Tang Bi: "Just saw the news, Lu Lin that bastard!"
Jiang Yan: "Work is important, life is critical."
Tang Bi: "[Zuo Hem] You are caring now, and people may be able to appreciate your affection."
Jiang Yan: "I'm going back, the phone is dead."
Tang Bi: "..."
Tang Bi: "I'm still in the movie theater now, Jiang Yan, your uncle! Isn't it crazy? I can't wait until people don't know who to go back, and who to show me the bitter drama, I really convinced you."
Tang Jia was so anxious to speak directly, hating iron for nothing, "Which cinema, I'll come to pick you up."
"No need." Jiang Yan pressed her voice: "I'm already in the car, bye, do you love you?"
Quit WeChat as soon as possible to save this guy from talking endlessly.
As soon as Jiang Yan walked out of the milk tea shop, she saw Lu Lin hurrying into the shopping mall building.
…coming? !
Lu Lin looked left and right, looking around.
Jiang Yan turned around instinctively to leave.
"Jiang Yan." His voice was low, and he called her from a distance.
Jiang Yan's nose was slightly sour, and she turned and smiled at him: "I think about it, I still have to come to see the Midnight Show, otherwise I won't be able to sleep tonight, I am Agatha's diehard fan..."
Lu Lin's eyes were fixed on her, she couldn't tell her lies anymore, and simply changed the subject: "Why are you here again?"
"Come and have a look, I bought tomorrow's ticket." Lu Lin explained.
Of course, it was against his will. He just didn't believe Jiang Yan. What mother made braised pig's trotters so fragrant and delicious. The truth never needs extra explanation, let alone the details to corroborate.
"Tomorrow, who else will my brother watch the movie with?" Jiang Yan asked deliberately.
Lu Lin thought for a while and said, "I have an appointment with Jiang Zhongchen."
Jiang Yan grinned and said, "He has an exam tomorrow."
"that…"
He looked at her expectantly.
"Then I will watch a movie with my brother on behalf of Duaner, okay?"
Lu Lin nodded: "It's not impossible."
Jiang Yan followed Lu Lin and walked into the elevator with him. With her hands in her bag and her head down, the smile from the corner of her eyes could not stop overflowing.
Just watched the wave after wave of lovers walking out of the elevator, looking at the smiles on their faces, it turned out to be such a happy taste.
Jiang Yan realized it.
Lu Lin stood in front of the cinema counter, looking up at the movie timetable on the screen.
"When will you be free tomorrow?" Lu Lin asked back.
"Whenever I..."
Jiang Yan changed her mind and immediately changed her words: "I have time in the morning. I can't wait to see the earliest and earliest one."
"Okay, then buy the morning game."
"Then we can go to Juquan Building for lunch at noon. The roast chicken is very fragrant. In the afternoon, we will go to the Martyrs Memorial Hall next door. We can have a meal together at night. After that, we can go to the river to see the night scene. What do you think of my brother?"
Jiang Yan kept breathing and looked at Lu Rin expectantly after speaking.
The corners of Lu Lin's mouth twitched.
It's really...crambling his whole day's schedule tomorrow.
"I'm going to buy tickets first." Lu Lin didn't answer immediately, and went to the counter to buy tickets first.
Jiang Yan waited anxiously on the side, took out her mobile phone to watch the schedule of tomorrow's movie, wondering if she would be too deliberate just now.
It should be alright, quite natural.
Lu Lin bought the ticket and Jiang Yan asked, "Is it tomorrow morning?"
"The other sessions are full, only in the morning there are places."
Jiang Yan smiled and was satisfied.
"Are you hungry?" Lu Lin raised his head and asked her.
What are you doing? Would you like to have supper? Jiang Yan was overjoyed and was about to nod, but she heard Lu Lin continue to say: "If you are not hungry, I also bought two tickets for the midnight show, not the one you want to see. It’s a literary film, it’s okay if you don’t want to watch it..."
"Yes!" After Jiang Yan blurted out, she looked at the ceiling and said casually: "Then what...think about it, what film?"
Lu Lin took out the ticket: ""A Life with a Cup of Wine", a road movie, an old movie, I've seen it before and think it's not bad, I didn't expect there will be a midnight show."
"What are you talking about?" Jiang Yan asked, grinding him.
Lu Lin patiently said: "It's about the wine journey of two middle-aged men. There is a line in it. I think it is very good, saying,'We can all see the discouraged ourselves, the self-destroying ourselves, the complaining The night is too long...'"
Lu Lin paused and looked at Jiang Yan: "Will you feel bored if I say this."
Jiang Yan shook his head again and again, and these words came out of his low-mellow and magnetic voice. It was a pleasure to hear them.
Lu Lin and Jiang Yan walked to the coffee table, the surrounding lights gradually dimmed, and the streets at midnight were lonely and empty. His low-mellow voice slowly said:
"Not everyone is full of self-confidence all the time. It seems to others that no matter how good people are, they are deeply buried in humbleness and loneliness. What's more, there are always more ugly ducklings than white swans in this crowded and noisy world. However, that's it. Hold on, be more humorous, relax, and be brave, and you can walk over, and there will be a moment of toasting a little boozy and blooming your unique brilliance."
Jiang Yan was still stunned when he finished reading.
At this moment, Lu Lin, the thin light of midnight struck from the top of his head, and a soft circle enveloped his hard face, adding a bit of warmth and depth unique to the night. In the dark, he was like a gentle beast, closing his eyes and falling asleep.
Seeing her in a daze, Lu Lin asked, "Or, you want to go back to sleep soon."
"I want to sleep with you..." Jiang Yan was suddenly shaken: "No, I mean yes, this movie is very good, let's watch this."
Lu Lin raised his eyebrows slightly.
Jiang Yan was secretly shocked, so risky and risky, almost shameless.
The literary film at midnight shows an atmosphere and a sentiment.
There are not many people in the smallest auditorium. The red seats are arranged in rows of seven floors, with two aisles on each side.
A couple sat in the most aside position. Apart from that, only Lu Lin and Jiang Yan were holding popcorn.
Lu Lin chose the middle position and sat down.
Soon, the surrounding light dimmed, and the movie began to show slowly.
It is indeed a very chronological film. The pace at the beginning was very slow. Inside and outside the siege, the trivial and trivial homework, the frustration of the two men, all unfolded in the slow narration deliberately by the director.
Jiang Yan watched the movie seriously, and then began to doze off seriously.
"You waited for me all night."
Lu Rin's whispering voice suddenly came into his ears, and Jiang Yan was already half-dreaming and half-awake: "Huh?"
"I haven't come after time, you should go back."
He stared at the movie screen, the dim dim light enveloped the outline of his profile.
Jiang Yan's head couldn't help but tilted towards his broad shoulders.
A familiar and light fragrance puffed his nose, and Lu Lin felt heavier on his shoulders.
It turned out that she was about to fall asleep.
"I think, wait another five minutes, maybe my brother will come." She sniffed, her voice gradually faint: "At the airport three years ago, I waited for many, many five minutes, but you didn't come."
After a long time, until her breathing became quieter, Lu Lin said in a deep voice, "I came that day."
He stood on the side of the road at the end of the wilderness, looking up at the white plane slowly rising, the bitter wind like a sharp blade, slashing him.
In the huge roar, he yelled at the plane: "Get out!"
Then he bit his lower lip, forcing himself to withdraw the tears in his eyes.
He does not cry.
There are many hurdles in this life. When he was a child, his family was in trouble, his parents were divorced, his grades were bad, he was punished for fighting in high school, and almost dropped out of school...
I was stumbling and stomping until now, I didn't realize that there was a big deal, it was a bad life, and it was not worth a tear.
The man does not flick when he has tears.
Without her, it was just a broken liver.
