Chapter 378 - A Date (V)
" So it was a girl…." Luo Dan commented unconsciously in a low voice, feeling embarrassed to assume that he was talking about her male friend. How stupid of her.
She knew that she wasn't in place to feel irritated regarding this situation. It's not like she is his girlfriend, however, this feeling wasn't particularly great either.
So what did he show her the movie that his 'female' friend recommended to him? So what if it was a 19+ rated movie with lots of kisses and bed scenes in which his 'friend' showed her passionate acting?
So what if he was in a dating scandal with the same girl some time ago?
SO WHAT? SO WHAT?
It's not like these things are related to her in any way. They're not in any relationship and she is in no position to feel sad about such things.
'Let's not be annoying and be cool about it.' She decided.
Luo Dan took a deep breath and stopped talking about his female friend. What does it have to do with her anyway? She sat there quietly and watched the movie without showing any expressions on her face.
The movie that was funny and interesting a while ago suddenly became boring and tiresome. The kiss scenes that were exhilarating and passionate a while ago suddenly seemed to be annoying and unnecessary fillers in the story.
"Why do they keep kissing all the time? Didn't they meet just a week ago? Can they be like this? How can they fall in love so easily? What nonsense!!" She voiced her opinion in irritation.
More than the strangely fast-paced story, she was more bothered by the way too many kiss scenes and Han Liang's dazed reaction whenever such a scene appeared.
Han Liang glanced at her and nodded awkwardly, " That's…right. Who…who falls in love so easily? That's truly nonsense," He supported her comment. However, deep down he couldn't help but think about how he fell for her at the first sight when he saw her in the elevator for the first time.
That was his first time to see her properly in front of him and not just pass by her in an award function or so. That was the day he realized that people do fall in love at first sight and those feelings can be as thrilling and serious as knowing each other for years.
" I thought it was a funny movie but all it has are kiss scenes. Ah, it's getting boring now." Luo Dan sighed in frustration. She wants to enjoy this da-movie appointment with him but she can't seem to control her overly sensitive emotions.
'Is it the PMS? Hmm….Seems like that's the reason for my mood swings.' She reasoned with herself inwardly.
Han Liang gulped nervously and nodded, " Exactly. There are way too many kiss scenes in this movie. Haha, I can't believe she filmed all these scenes. She previously told me that she isn't a good kisser. I can't believe that she shot all these scenes." He laughed and commented without thinking.
He wanted to say something cool but seeing Luo Dan's irritating expressions, he got nervous and spouted whatever first came to his mind.
"..."
Luo Dan was speechless to hear him commenting about the girl's kissing scenes. Was he focusing on those scenes so deeply that he is now even reviewing them?
A deep frown appeared on her forehead upon hearing him talking about his friend again. Why does he keep talking about her? Can't he read the room?
She let out a deep breath to cool down her head and not make remarks anymore. If this continues, they will end up fighting on their very first dat-appointment.
That's right.
It's better to be quiet and ignore such stuff and not embarrass herself further.

Han Liang noticed her long face and that she wasn't smiling or laughing at the funny scenes anymore.
Is she thirsty? He thought.
He pursed his lips seeing her making a poker face and tried to break the uncomfortable silence between them, "Would you like to drink some beer? Isn't it boring to watch a movie without-
" I am not thirsty. Thank you." She responded curtly, cutting his words in between. She was just waiting for the movie to end quickly.
" Ah, O…Okay." Han Liang, who was getting up to go downstairs to bring some beer cans, sat down again and glanced at her, reading her cold expressions.
What happened? Why does the air in the room suddenly become chilly? Did he make any mistakes? He wondered, feeling a bit discouraged about the whole situation.
Was the movie not interesting enough? He wondered.
_
The perfect timing that Han Liang was waiting to confess his feelings to Luo Dan never came. The movie ended but rather than things becoming comfortable between them, it became even more awkward and uncomfortable.
Luo Dan left right after the movie ended and didn't even stay for a cup of coffee after that. She even declined his offer to give her a ride home, even though she came in a cab. Does she hate the idea of being together with him in the same space that much?
Did she not like watching the movie with him? Or…was he being clingy? He wondered seeing her suddenly acting indifferent towards him. She wasn't even smiling like before anymore.
Wasn't this day supposed to be his happiest day? Where did he go wrong with all the arrangements?
While Luo Dan was fighting with the strange-new emotions of jealousy and frustration that were boiling inside her, Han Liang, on the other hand, was feeling down to see Luo Dan acting coldly and indifferent towards him.
Just like that, the first movie date of the two ended on a cold-uncomfortable note.
...
" You're back." As soon as Luo Dan closed the door behind her and entered the house, she heard Jia Fei's interrogative voice.
She pursed her lips and took a deep breath before going inside to face her annoying fate. She didn't look anywhere and straight marched towards her room, " Don't talk to me. I am already irritated en-."
" Irritated? Didn't you go on a date? How come you're in such a bad mood?" She heard a familiar voice.
She frowned and paused in her steps before she turned to look towards the couch where Jia Fei and Xu Nuan were sitting, with their legs on the couch and were munching on the chips that they were holding.
Luo Dan pursed her lips and glanced at Jia Fei who told the news to Xu Nuan before she could even come home. Jia Fei avoided her gaze and put a piece of chips in her mouth before saying, " Don't give me a look. I didn't say that you went on a date, I just told her that you were acting suspicious and wore a designer dress just to go out. That's it. Nothing else." She explained, leaving out a few details from the conversation that she had with Xu Nuan earlier.
Xu Nuan chuckled seeing her lying so easily and shook her head, " I didn't believe it earlier, but you indeed look gorgeous. I doubt that you just went out with friends."
At first, she ignored Jia Fei's words and came to hang out with her after hearing how lonely she was at home. But wasn't expecting her words about Luo Dan to be true. She does look like someone who just came from a date.
Luo Dan sighed and went to join them, " It wasn't a date. I just went to watch a movie with a friend, that's it." She said as she sat on the couch and snached the packet of chips from Jia Fei's hands.
" Hmmm….So it was a movie date." Jia Fei commented and teased her while watching TV.
" I SAID IT WASN'T A DATE. CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND SIMPLE WORDS?" Luo Dan said slowly in a low voice, emphasizing each and every word carefully, for her to listen and understand.
Xu Nuan chuckled to see them arguing like kids and passed Luo Dan a can of beer, " You're right. It wasn't a date. Why don't you have some beer in that case?"
" I don't want it. I am going to sleep." Luo Dan said tiredly. She was indeed tired, more emotionally than physically.
Xu Nuan noticed her haggard condition and insisted that she join them, " Only one can. After that, you're good to go."
" Come on. It's my first time coming to your place. Can't you do this for me? Hmm? " She asked cutely, in a nasal voice for which she was kicked by Jia Fei.
" Stop talking like that. Your boyfriend might like you doing this, but we hate it. Disgusting!!" Jia Fei said, rubbing her arms to soothe her goosebumps that she got after Xu Nuan acting cute and lovely.
