Chapter 72: Chapter 72: Can we kiss since it's just the two of us here?
```
Although Xie Xiao really wanted to, he still restrained himself.
His girlfriend already thought of him as a pervert, so he couldn't become an impatient pervert, could he? Your next journey awaits at m v|l-e'm,p| y- r
So he just reached out and gently pinched her cheek, as soft as he had imagined, and said softly, "I know, let's go watch a movie."
Luo Yanran blinked her eyes, watching him stand up straight, feeling a bit disappointed in her heart.
He didn't say he liked me, nor did he kiss me...
But her feeling of disappointment suddenly eased a bit when she saw Xie Xiao's hand reaching out to her.
She looked at that clean, slender hand, as if she was seeing the tissue he handed her the first time they met.
Luo Yanran reached out and took his hand, "Let's go~"
It's okay. It's okay if Xie Xiao doesn't like her that much; if she spends enough time with him, she'll make him fall in love with her!
If Xie Xiao knew that the one time he managed to control himself and not kiss her led her to fantasize so much, he would regret it to death.
He was actually super fond of her, which is why he was so restrained!
Right now, Xie Xiao was just thinking about getting to the movie theater quickly, yeah, to have his girlfriend make up for the kisses she owed~
This private cinema is called a cinema but it's actually not that big; it's more like a hotspot for young couples to check in on social media.
It's also nearby in this shopping district.
Xie Xiao had heard about it from Li Hua and others before but never thought he'd come here himself one day.
Mainly because he didn't expect to run into Li Hua and a girl from his class here?
He remembered this girl as a very quiet and demure one.
And now she was holding hands with Li Hua and they bumped into him and Luo Yanran.
The girl wore an embarrassed expression on her face.
Li Hua also looked a bit embarrassed, but more than that, he was curious!
It's true!
Xie Ge and Luo senior sister are really an item!
They came to the cinema together, holding hands?
What does that mean!
Li Hua's mind was filled with wild thoughts, but at this moment, his girlfriend's pinch on his waist was swelling up!
He forced a smile, "Xie Ge, what a coincidence!"
He couldn't help but glance at the hands that Xie Xiao and Luo Yanran kept holding.
Xie Xiao raised an eyebrow, "Quite a coincidence indeed, you guys are seeing a movie too?"
Li Hua waved his hands, "No, no, we've already seen it."
Under the pressure of his girlfriend, he whispered to Xie Xiao, "Xie Ge, you see, Wen Wen's family is pretty strict..."
Xie Xiao laughed, "Don't worry, I won't blab."
Li Hua sighed with relief and promised as he looked at him and Luo Yanran, "We won't say anything either."
"Hey, do say something," Xie Xiao clicked his tongue, "there are quite a few trying to steal my girl."
Li Hua let out an "Ah."
Luo Yanran, feeling a bit embarrassed but happy at the same time, realized that Xie Xiao didn't plan on hiding the fact that they were together...
This realization brightened her mood which had been somewhat gloomy because Xie Xiao hadn't responded earlier.
"Xie Xiao you..." Luo Yanran still pulled him a bit, "at school, there are a lot of teachers."
However, Li Hua assured, "It won't reach the teachers' ears, don't worry!"
He looked at Xie Xiao excitedly, "Xie Ge, I get what you mean now!"
In the end, Li Hua left with his girlfriend.
Xie Xiao was in a good mood, soon probably everyone would know that he and Luo Yanran were a couple.
He liked that.
Maybe it was because Zhou Mianmian had given him a psychological shadow; he just wanted the whole world to know Luo Yanran was his.
Luo Yanran glanced at him, "Aren't you afraid that everyone will find out?"
Xie Xiao countered, "Don't you want everyone to know?"
He indeed hadn't considered whether Luo Yanran might be unwilling. Xie Xiao pulled out his phone, "I'll talk to Li Hua..."
"I don't mind," Luo Yanran reached out and pulled down his hand that was about to touch the phone, "I really don't mind."
```
She revealed a slight smile and repeated, "I'm still a bit happy."
Xie Xiao looked at her smile and felt a slight sense of relief, "I thought you might be unwilling."
There was a bit of disappointment in his heart though.
Luo Yanran, however, pulled him through the door, "I wouldn't be unwilling; we're already together, I'm just afraid that the teacher might find out and it would affect us..."
Xie Xiao said in a low voice, "Afraid of what? We're making progress together. Isn't that right, Teacher Luo?"
Luo Yanran glanced at him, her eyes shining.
Upon entering, both were stunned by the sign above the reception desk.
It read, "Regulation cinema! Surveillance throughout the venue! Surveillance! Surveillance!"
From these repeated mentions of surveillance, Xie Xiao could imagine that many stories must have unfolded inside.
The receptionist was a young girl.
She sat up a bit straighter when she saw them approach.
Xie Xiao walked over with Luo Yanran in tow.
All the recent popular films were screened here.
The one starting soonest was in ten minutes, an art-house film.
Xie Xiao looked at Luo Yanran, "What do you want to watch?"
Luo Yanran wanted to say anything was fine, but the online dating guide had said that replying with 'anything is fine' could actually be annoying for guys.
So she pointed at the art-house film that was about to start, "Let's watch that one."
The young lady at the reception said, "Okay, someone will guide you into the theater in a moment. Do you need any movie combo?"
Xie Xiao ordered two colas.
He didn't order snacks because they had just had dinner and really couldn't eat anymore.
In the end, it was Luo Yanran who paid.
After paying, an employee led them to the door of a room, opened it, and said, "Please come in. Oh, and guests, please be aware that there's surveillance inside."
Xie Xiao chuckled, "We know."
The employee smiled awkwardly, waited for them to enter, then closed the door.
It was then that Xie Xiao took a serious look at this private cinema. The screen ahead was the same large size, but they had partitions on both sides.
It felt more like a separate little house, secluded from the sides.
In the middle was a connecting sofa, the kind that could be adjusted to recline,
and there were fresh flowers on the side, along with a tank of small goldfish.
For a cinema, this was indeed quite luxurious.
Xie Xiao cast a glance at the corner where the surveillance was indeed active, the light on.
Luo Yanran, curious, walked around the space. It wasn't big, but it was certainly private.
"This boss really has a mind for business," she remarked.
Xie Xiao nodded in agreement, "Indeed."
Just then, the lighting dimmed completely, signaling the start of the movie.
Xie Xiao took Luo Yanran's hand and led her to sit down on the sofa.
The sofa wasn't very big, and as they sat down, their bodies couldn't help but touch.
Xie Xiao sighed inwardly, what was this boss thinking?
No wonder he kept reminding them about the surveillance...
The large screen in front started to light up.
Xie Xiao turned to look at the person beside him, "Teacher Luo, do you remember you owe me a kiss?
Luo Yanran turned her head towards him, her eyes wide, "But there's surveillance here."
"I'm not planning to do anything," Xie Xiao chuckled, "You just said the mall was crowded, but now it's just the two of us here."
Luo Yanran's heartbeat started to race as she looked at the boy's face drawing near.
The movie credits had already begun on the screen.
She could only hear the sound of her own heartbeat.
Looking at Xie Xiao's upturned lips, her gaze then shifted to his face.
He didn't say where to kiss; a peck on the cheek would be okay, right?
