“Brother Yun!”
Shen Shuyun looked towards the sound, and saw Ning Wan standing outside the school gate.
Today he was wearing a black leather jacket and dark jeans that were tucked into brown high-top leather boots. He looked lean and tall and completely handsome, with that youthful energy radiating all over his body, which made Shen Shuyun’s heart skip a beat.
“Coming,” Shen Shuyun walked out hurriedly from the school with his briefcase, “Have you been waiting for a long time?”
“No no, I just arrived.” Ning Wan said, pulling out two neatly folded movie tickets from his pocket, and looked down at his watch, “There’s still half an hour before the movie starts, shall we walk there?”
Ning Wan bought tickets for Everland cinema, the movie theater is open in a commercial building, right in the middle between the Third High School and Shen Shuyun’s home, the two walked fast and got there in less than twenty minutes.
Although the tickets were bought by Ning Wan, but the film was picked by Shen Shuyun. It was a newly released literary film.
Ning Wan already anticipated a headache from watching this kind of movie; he much prefers Marvel or interstellar exploration, the kind with special effects.
For people like him who do not have any literary cells to speak of, literary films are purely a pain.
But since Shen Shuyun wanted to see it, Ning Wan couldn’t help but accompany him.
He was a bit nervous though; it was his first time going into a regular movie theater, crowded with so many people in a dark hall, watching a movie.
He had actually never seen a movie in this kind of setting.
Generally speaking, when he wanted to watch a movie, he would go directly to a private cinema opened for celebrities on demand, or at most, he would take Luo Xiao to watch a movie with him.
The entrance of the cinema was filled with the aroma of popcorn, a sweet and creamy flavor, Shen Shuyun glanced toward the large glass box with warm lights, turned back and asked, “Want to buy some popcorn?”
Ning Wan was a little distracted and didn’t quite hear what Shen Shuyun asked so he just casually replied: ” Yeah, yeah.”
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Shen Shuyun went to buy the popcorn and came back holding a large bucket; he looked just like a college student, fresh and young.

Moreover, the woman sitting on his other side was covered in too much perfume, choking Ning Wan and making him want to sneeze.
“What’s wrong?” Shen Shuyun noticed Ning Wan’s abnormality and couldn’t help but ask, “You’re not feeling well?”
As he spoke, the lights in the cinema suddenly went out and the huge screen in the middle slowly lit up – it was the opening of the movie.
Ning Wan shook his head and said he was fine.
Perhaps because the literary film was not to Ning Wan’s liking, or maybe it was the pungent perfume smell but Ning Wan simply could not concentrate; not long after the movie started, his mind felt heavy and his vision got blurred and sitting in this 100 people filled theatre he could not help but drift to sleep.
Shen Shuyun was very engaged in the movie and just when the main plot came up he suddenly felt a heavy head on his shoulder, he slightly turned his head and saw Ning Wan buried in the nook of his neck, sleeping soundly with his eyes closed.
“Ning Wan?”
This soft call was overpowered by the sound of music coming from the cinema’s huge stereo.
Shen Shuyun took advantage of the light radiating from the screen to quietly examine the youth on his shoulder. He has a high nose, soft eyebrows and beautiful eyes, his face was both sharp and slender. The light and shadows that kissed his face outlined his three-dimensional features making them appear even more impressive.
He looked very adorable as he slept, leaning on Shen Shuyun’s shoulder like that, unguarded, his long, dense eyelashes fluttering slightly, his lips pursed, with a bit of an upward curve, like a small child.
Ning Wan let out a soft hum, moved his body to find a more comfortable position, and then continued his beautiful dream.
Shen Shuyun took his eyes off him and let out a soft smile.
It was only when the movie ended that Shen Shuyun woke the sleeping Ning Wan up.
“Ning Wan, wake up, you are drooling on me”!
Ning Wan rubbed his somewhat swollen eyes and shyly wiped the corners of his mouth, he then wore a silly smile and said: “Has the movie already finished?”
Shen Shuyun held his forehead and said: “You have been sleeping really deeply …… You are being like this yet you still say that you want to chase people ……”
The implication was clear… who can you chase really with this attitude?
Ning Wan’s face slowly reddened. He laughed dryly twice and wrapped his arm around Shen Shuyun’s shoulders:
“Let’s go, Brother Yun. Stop teasing me.”
The two of them went out of the cinema, However, neither of them expected that it would be raining so heavily outside.
The rain was pounding, slapping on the huge glass doors of the mall, making it hard to see what was outside; It was followed by a muffled thunder blast from the thick clouds, and the rain became more fierce and visible to the naked eye.
Both of them didn’t bring umbrellas, so they had to stand at the exit of the mall and stare blankly at the rain outside.
Ning Wan met Shen Shuyun’s gaze and said “: You wait for me here, I’ll go out and stop a cab.”
Shen Shuyun subconsciously wanted to stop him: “Hey, Ning Wan–”
Ning Wan did not listen, and went straight out the door to find a cab.
However, cabs are extraordinarily difficult to find on rainy days. There were a few occasional cars passing by outside, but they all had people inside.
On such a rainy day, it was almost impossible to stop a cab. So Ning Wan ended up drenched, the cold rain hit his face and body, and whenever the wind blew, his body would be so cold that he got goose bumps.
After staying for 10 minutes outside, Ning Wan wiped his face and went back to the mall to find Shen Shuyun.
Shen Shuyun saw that Ning Wan came back like a chicken falling into the soup, and could not help but feel some amusement.
He went up and helped Ning Wan pat the water on his body and comforted him: “Was it impossible to get a cab? Then why don’t we wait, maybe walk back and forget about it. Anyway, this place is not far from home.”
They waited for a while, but even though the rain was getting lighter, there was still no hint of it stopping.
Ning Wan rubbed his hands together to warm them up then pulled up Shen Shuyun, tilting his head and smiling at him: “Brother Yun, I am afraid the rain might become heavier again later, should we just run back home together now?”
Shen Shuyun’s hand was tightly squeezed by Ning Wan, the two people’s fingers were tightly clasped together, this knowledge caused Shen Shuyun’s face to burn, he didn’t even listen too well to what Ning Wan said, he just nodded his head and agreed carelessly: “Well, okay, okay.”
After Ning Wan got Shen Shuyun’s consent, he naturally took his hand to lead him outside and only let go of him when he reached the door.
Shen Shuyun looked at Ning Wan and saw him take off his leather jacket, then stretch his arms to spread the clothes over Shen Shuyun’s head, half holding Shen Shuyun and taking him towards home.
The rain was still falling, but Shen Shuyun’s head was safely covered.
Ning Wan tightly protected Shen Shuyun, standing in front of him by half a step, blocking the slanting rain and cold wind for Shen Shuyun.
He was half a head taller than Shen Shuyun, and from behind, it looked like he was holding Shen Shuyun in his arms in an extremely intimate position.
Shen Shuyun was somewhat flattered looking at Ning Wan and hurriedly said: “Ning Wan, you don’t have to do this, you better be covering yourself, don’t get wet ……”
Ning Wan’s hair got damp and turned into ragged strands stained on his forehead. The rain fell along his high brow bone to his eyelashes and condensed into drops of water on his eyelashes, it would then fall down at the blink of an eye.
His eyes were so determined, even through the dense curtain of rain, Shen Shuyun saw clearly that Ning Wan’s eyes were like a fire that would never burn out: “Brother Yun, let’s go home.”
Shen Shuyun looked up at the small piece of clothing that Ning Wan held up for him over his head and his heart that has been as still as water for more than 20 years suddenly at this time melted into an indefinable stirring – like a burning charcoal pot in winter, like a bowl of chilled plum soup in summer.
It was just the right amount of tenderness, enough to knock all his hard shells and break through.
“Good”, Shen Shuyun lips slightly curved into a smile, looking far ahead surrounded by heavy rain and blurred by various colors of light: “Home.”
