Rebirth after the college entrance examination

Chapter 211 Talented men and beautiful women
There were quite a few people watching the movie on the weekend.

Xia An was dressed similarly to other boys her age, carrying two bottles of drinks and a large bucket of popcorn, following behind Tang Wan as she searched for a seat.

After sitting down, Tang Wan took the popcorn bucket from him and munched on the pre-movie ads on the screen like a hamster, telling Xia An to help herself if she wanted some.

Xia An didn't eat it at first, but ate it after the lights were turned off.

Reaching out, he pinched two kernels from Tang Wan's bosom, then two more, and finally slipped his hand inside her clothes to pinch two more, making the popcorn smell even milkier.

Tang Wan ignored him completely and let him do whatever he wanted.

The opening scene of "A Match Made in Heaven" features Gao Yuanyuan and Shawn Yue's chance encounter.

The story takes place in a quaint little town, where Qin Xiaoyou, a deaf-mute girl, meets and falls in love with Yang Le, a handsome young traffic policeman. It's an ordinary story, but the camera work and framing are quite beautiful and romantic.

The second part is similar, a love story between two young Japanese people.

The two stories are roughly about two people from different worlds who come together because of love.

Girls love watching this stuff, but Xia An is indifferent to it.

But when couples watch movies, the movie itself isn't important. What he enjoys is the intimate and exciting little interactions with Tang Wan in the dark, surrounded by a bunch of people.

At first, Xia An only groped Tang Wan's chest while he was getting popcorn. Later, Tang Wan seemed to get into the mood and lifted her buttocks to let him lean down from behind when he was groping her from behind.

In winter, with so many clothes, no one can see you.

Despite enduring the cramps in her fingers, Xia An continued to do so with great enjoyment.

A short while later, Tang Wan bit her lip, glanced at him with teary eyes, got up and went to the bathroom. She didn't come back when the party ended.

Xia An took the barely drunk beverage and went out to find her, only to find her sitting on a bench by the door, lost in thought.

Xia An sat down next to her, put his arm around her, and whispered with a smile, "Is it pretty?"

Tang Wan glanced at him and shook her head: "It's not good-looking."

"Is it exciting?"

"Ah."

Tang Wan wasn't ashamed at all; instead, she smiled mysteriously and asked him if all couples were like this.

Xia An said, "Didn't you see? Those two on the side are biting each other."

Tang Wan sighed, leaned against him, and said, "I really wish I could live like this forever."

Xia An had nothing to say; it was indeed true that he was too much of a womanizer.

An ordinary person would be incredibly lucky to meet even one in ten Tang Wans, but he was still not satisfied.

The movie theater was well-air-conditioned, and Tang Wan felt hot, so she took off her scarf and draped it around Xia An's neck, revealing a deep V-neck cream-colored wool sweater that looked fair and felt soft to the touch.

With her legs crossed, Tang Wan took a sip of her drink, watching couples walk by and blend into the crowd. Her gaze was vacant, as if she were observing other people's lives, or perhaps her own.

"It seems like more and more people are going to the movies these days," she muttered to herself.

Xia An nodded. "When we were kids, nobody went to the movies. We didn't want to watch movies even with school or factory receipts. But times have changed. Watching movies is not just about watching movies; it's a huge industry. People can't just keep their heads down and not spend money. They still need something to pass the time."

Tang Wan turned her head and asked, "Is this your original intention for starting a cinema chain?"

Seeing Xia An nod, he asked again, "You really didn't do this to promote some pomelo girl?"

Xia An smiled and shook her head. She had been spending too much time with Tang Wan lately, which made her feel anxious and insecure. It might also be due to her period approaching, a sensitive period for a girl's physical and psychological state.

In short, the young woman in front of us, Miss Tang, has transformed from a strong woman into a little girl.

Xia An tightened her grip on the slender waist that could be encircled by her palm.

"I want to promote you. Do you want to be a star?"

"never."

Tang Wan snorted and turned her head away.

He paused, then asked Xia An, "Are we considered a perfect match?"

Xia An laughed, "Good heavens, you can even ask such a question? If it's not about the two of us, then who in the world can?" Tang Wan asked, "If I hadn't taken the initiative back then, would we be from two different worlds now?"

She was probably thinking about the movie they just watched. Xia An shook his head and calmly told her, "It started with lust at first sight, but ended with intense true feelings."

Tang Wan said, "I can do it."

Xia An said, "I can too."

Tang Wan pursed her lips, no longer arguing, and said softly, "You know what? I've never told you this, but after I fell asleep at your house the first time, I had a dream. I dreamt that after leaving the bar that night, I jumped into the river and died. I didn't see you, and none of this happened after that."

Xia An was stunned.

Tang Wan was still muttering, "I've been acting a bit petty lately. Don't be impatient, it might pass in a while. I'm afraid this is all a dream, a dream I had while I was soaking in the icy river before I died. I'm so scared."

Xia An turned to the side and hugged her tightly, touching her hair and her back. The feel of the wool coat was real, and the scent of her hair and body was also very real.

Tang Wan's warm breath was clearly felt on her neck.

Xia An said, "Don't be afraid, I'll never swim again. And you're not allowed to go diving either."

Tang Wan chuckled, pushed him away, looked at him intently, and said, "Let me have a child, our child."

Xia An said, "Okay, shall we go back and give birth now?"

Tang Wan spat, "There's still a movie to go. We agreed to have a good time."

……

A persona is really important; people start laughing as soon as Zhao Benshan appears.

Xia An has watched this movie many times, and even more than a decade later, it is still the best road movie in his heart.

Uncle Benshan's acting skills, in particular, are truly superb.

The story is both lighthearted and emotional, and Tang Wan was deeply moved by it. She laughed for a while, then burst into tears, and then laughed through her tears again.

In his presence, Tang Wan seemed more real than he was; how could it all be a dream?
In the end, just as his hometown was in sight, Old Zhao encountered a mudslide. He could only rely on his willpower to overcome nature and finally returned to his hometown with his dead coworkers, only to find that his hometown had been destroyed and the villagers had all moved away.

Tang Wan choked up and couldn't breathe, so Xia An patted her back for a while.

Sobbing could be heard throughout the theater. Xia An looked around and found that most of the boys had the same expression as him, which was inexplicable.

After the performance, the lights came on, and the audience gradually got up and left. Tang Wan didn't move. She had to avoid people to wipe her tears, take off her mask to touch up her makeup and lipstick, and was the last to leave.

But when the two stood up, they found a woman sitting alone in the last row in the distance, bent over and leaning on the back of the seat in front of her, dressed in black, trembling silently, clearly crying.

Tang Wan and Xia An exchanged a glance and quietly left.

Tang Wan went to the restroom, and Xia An waited for her at the door. As Xia An finished the last sip of her drink, she caught a glimpse of a slender, forlorn figure walking out of the theater.

Upon seeing it, he was horrified.

He choked on his drink and coughed repeatedly, but still managed to call out, "Hey!"

Lin Jiajia turned around, her eyes red-rimmed. She was stunned when she saw Xia An, then walked over.

Wearing brown boots, black pants, and a black coat, Lin Jiajia, dressed entirely in black, gave off the vibe of a widowed stepmother.

“No…” Xia An frowned as she looked at her sad face. “If I hadn’t lost my memory, didn’t we call each other at noon?”

Lin Jiajia pursed her lips and nodded.

Xia An: "I remember you told me that you and your grandma were still playing in Sanya."

Lin Jiajia nodded.

Xia An raised her hand to wipe away the tears that suddenly slid down her cheeks.

Tell me, what exactly happened?

Lin Jiajia took half a step forward, but before she could speak, a voice came from behind Xia An:
"Sister Jiajia?"
