Therefore…

System: [Qi Shan has been kicked from the group . ]
Su Ye pitied them and attempted to stealthily ask: [Boss, shall we pull Fei Bai back into the group?]
Huo Beichen: [No need . ]
Su Ye saw that there were only two people left in the group and could only stay silent . After a while, Su Ye sent another text: [When missus mentioned that she is poor, was she hinting for you to give her some allowance?]
When Huo Beichen saw this text, he turned his head sideways and saw her fixated on the screen . Ning Meng’s spirit had obviously left her, and he went into a panic . So, this was what it was about .

The movie that they were watching was a romantic film . Ning Meng initially had a heavy heart, but as she watched the movie, she was slowly drawn in, especially during the first physically intimate moment between the male and female leads . The scene was focused on their kiss, and the whole hall was so silent that one could only hear the sound of people breathing .
Ning Meng felt embarrassed as she held her breath during that scene . She subconsciously looked toward Huo Beichen, but his line of sight was dully focused onto the screen as if he was not affected by the scene at all . His level of self-control was quite shocking .
Ning Meng drank some bubble milk tea and noticed that a couple was sitting beside them, intimately holding on to each other . Although Huo Beichen and her were just sitting next to each other, they looked as clearly separated as when clear water and muddy water were next to each other . Another person could have fit in between the gap of space between them .
‘Why are you sitting so far away?’
As she thought about this in her heart, a large warm hand suddenly reached out and held onto her hand .

She was startled and abruptly turned her head . Huo Beichen continued to calmly keep his eyes on the screen . It was as if the hand holding onto hers was not his hand, and Ning Meng lowered her head . Her seat was pitch black, and she could not see anything . She lifted her head again and the movie was showing a passionate kiss between the couple . The scene lasted only for a few seconds, but she felt as though a century had passed .
Her hand was suddenly held tighter, and she felt that her heart was also held tightly at the same time…
Ning Meng let out a cough, pretending to want to brush her hair and let go of his hand . After she had adjusted her bangs, she used both her hands to hold onto her bubble milk tea, not loosening her grip on the drink until the movie had ended .
As Ning Meng and Huo Beichen were leaving the cinema, her expression did not look quite natural . She looked at the sky and then said, “It’s late, let’s go home . ”
Huo Beichen replied instead, “Wait . ”
He took out his black credit card and handed it to her . “This is my secondary card, there is no limit . Go ahead and use it . ”
She laughed out loud, “There’s no need for this! Lord Chen, I’m quite tired today . I’ll go back home first~”
Huo Beichen saw that she was keeping her distance and wanted to maintain it that way . He mulled over it for a bit and finally withdrew his hand . “Fine . ”
They both went home respectively, and Ning Meng took a shower and lay on her bed . She turned over and closed her eyes, but all she could envision was the word ‘one’ . The expression in her eyes intensified as she thought about this . She could not stop thinking about it and finally, she admitted to being overwhelmed by her thoughts .
She held up her phone and updated her status on Moments in WeChat: [One does not mean the one and only and for this one lifetime . ]
