I Want a Lifetime with You
Chapter 64

Shi Nuan smiled. She quickly placed her bowl nearer as she saw Fu Chengyan getting some food for her. "I'll help myself!" "Eat up!" Fu Chengyan said with a smile.

Shi Nuan enjoyed her food as she hadn't had the chance to enjoy such a meal for a while, but the girl noticed that Fu Chengyan ate little. Shi Nuan realized that Fu Chengyan didn't really enjoy spicy food, so she silently noted that.

After their meal, they left the restaurant and walked downstairs. A couple who just came out of the movie theater discussed a movie they had just watched, "Hey! You promise to watch the movie with me, but you fell asleep?."

"It's not my fault! Girl's love watching movies like these where everyone misunderstands each other. Something like that doesn't happen in actual life."

"Well, movies draw inspiration from life but are more dramatic; it definitely wouldn't be completely realistic! But I don't care. You said you'd watch it with me." "Pfft..."

Shi Nuan couldn't help herself, but laughed after the couple had walked farther away.

Fu Chengyan was standing next to Shi Nuan. He raised his lips while seeing her unable to control herself. "What are you laughing about?"

Shi Nuan turned to him and shook her head gently. "The girl wanted her boyfriend to keep her accompanied. It doesn't really matter if the guy watches the movie, as long as he isn't too half-hearted about it." "Hmm?" Fu Chengyan's narrow eyes sparkled slightly, and he looked at his watch. "It's still early, so let's watch a movie!"

"What? A movie?" Shi Nuan was stunned. We were talking about that couple? Why is this happening to us now? A movie with Fu Chengyan?

Shi Nuan couldn't picture that at all. "You want to watch a movie with me?"

"Yeah. Is there a problem?" Fu Chengyan said before giving Zhou Zheng a call. "Get me two movie tickets, and yes, we're at Shengwei. What movie?" Fu Chengyan fell silent for a moment, then dragged Shi Nuan by the hand and walked towards the fifth floor as there were many posters of new movies. Fu Chengyan took a glance and said, "Hmm, two tickets for 'I Like You'!"

"Mr. Fu, are you sure that you want two tickets for 'I Like You'?" Zhou Zheng was horrified.

"You have something to say about that?" Fu Chengyan asked. Zhou Zheng immediately shook his head. "Not at all, Mr. Fu. I'll get you the tickets at once. Are you going to watch the movie right now?" "Yeah, around this time!" Fu Chengyan said and hung up the call. Shi Nuan stared at him for a moment. He looked back at her in amusement. "Why are you giving me that look?"

Shi Nuan returned to her senses. "No reason. Are you sure you want to watch 'I Like You' with me?" she asked doubtfully. After all, this was all rather unbelievable, especially when Fu Chengyan mentioned the movie's name.

"Is there a problem? Don't you girls enjoy this type of movie" Fu Chengyan asked with a smile.

Shi Nuan was speechless while she pursed her lips slightly. "To be honest, you don't have to go along with me. I never said that I wanted to watch a movie."

"You didn't say no either," Fu Chengyan replied and glanced down at his phone. Zhou Zheng had just sent him the verification code for their tickets. Fu Chengyan frowned slightly. "Didn't you say girls want to be accompanied? Those two were a couple, but we're husband and wife. Isn't this a proper reason for me to accompany you?"

Fu Chengyan reached out to hold Shi Nuan's hand. Shi Nuan was stunned and wanted to retract her hand, but she ignored it and went with the flow.

Fu Chengyan walked to the self-service counter while holding her hand. He frowned as he stared at the machine in front without budging. Someone behind the queue grew impatient and exclaimed, "Hey, are you getting the tickets or what? Don't hold us up if you're not!"

"Sorry about that. We're getting them now!" Shi Nuan quickly apologized to the person behind, then tiptoed and whispered to Fu Chengyan's ear. "Don't tell me you don't know how to retrieve the tickets!"

Fu Chengyan looked sideways as a hint of darkness surged in his eyes, but he said nothing, merely casting a glance at Shi Nuan. For some unknown reason, Shi Nuan found him rather amusing. She grabbed Fu Chengyan's phone from his hands, looked at the numbers, and entered them into the ticketing booth system.

When the tickets were released, Fu Chengyan quickly took them before Shi Nuan could and walked away while dragging her along.

Shi Nuan followed Fu Chengyan out from the crowd while being held onto by him. The girl starred at Fu Chengyan's back as her lips curled slightly.

She suddenly felt that getting along with Fu Chengyan was not a bad idea at all. Besides...

"What are you thinking about?"

Fu Chengyan's clear voice interrupted Shi Nuan's thoughts. Shi Nuan smiled slightly and shook her head. "Nothing. But there's still 30 minutes until the hall opens, so let's walk a bit. We don't have to go far." "Sure!" Fu Chengyan smiled. "We'll take a stroll nearby then."

Fu Chengyan placed the movie tickets in his wallet and held Shi Nuan's hand once again. Shi Nuan still felt slightly uncomfortable, but Fu Chengyan raised an eyebrow and looked at Shi Nuan from above. "May."

"Yes? What is it?" Shi Nuan looked up towards Fu Chengyan.

"We're married, but I know you're still not used to our relationship being this way."

"I'm sorry. It's my problem!" Shi Nuan responded in shame.

"No, it's not your problem." Fu Chengyan said while placing both his hands on Shi Nuan's shoulders. He bent down slightly, trying his best to look at her with a gaze. "You don't need to feel burdened by our marriage. If you're not used to our relationship, we can always start from the very beginning!"

"What do you mean by beginning?" Shi Nuan was puzzled.

Fu Chengyan smiled and held onto one of Shi Nuan's hands. He lifted it slowly and interlocked their fingers. Giving their hands a little shake, he said with a smile, "As Lovers. We can start as a couple and do what usual couples normally do together."

"What? Are you sure?" Shi Nuan asked suspiciously.

"I'm sure." Fu Chengyan nuzzled Shi Nuan's cheek with his other hand. "You don't need to feel burdened. We'll go one step at a time. All you need to know is that we're a couple, so whatever lovers do, I'll do it with you!" Seeing Shi Nuan appear in such a daze, he couldn't help but shake his head. "Don't look at me in this way. I won't be able to resist myself from kissing you."

Shi Nuan's face reddened as she looked away. Feeling at a loss, she clasped her hands together and frowned slightly. "Stop teasing me."

Fu Chengyan smiled. "Alright."

He let go of Shi Nuan's shoulders and went back, holding her hand. "Let's go take a stroll and let our food digest."

In reality, they took a little stroll. The timing wasn't the best, so they merely walked around the fifth floor for a while before heading into the movie hall.

Fu Chengyan went to get some popcorn and coke before entering the hall, just to be like an actual couple.

While carrying the bucket of popcorn, Shi Nuan glanced sideways at the man next to her. She gulped as she saw two cups of Coke in his hands. "Honestly, you don't have to..."

"Shhh!" Fu Chengyan placed his index finger over Shi Nuan's lips. "Let's go in."

Since it was nighttime, it's perfect for couples to enjoy a movie date. The hall was practically full when the two walked in. Shi Nuan and Fu Chengyan's seats were at the end of the hall, so they had to walk a distance to make it there.

After taking her seat, Shi Nuan finally let out a sigh of relief. "It's been years since I last came out for a movie. I didn't expect the theater to be packed at this hour!"

"Yeah," Fu Chengyan said as he helped Shi Nuan hold her purse. He then handed a drink to her. "Are you thirsty?"

Shi Nuan shook her head. "I'm good!" But she still took a sip.

"This place is near Jing University. There are many students here with a school nearby," Fu Chengyan said. Shi Nuan looked around. True enough, the hall was filled with young couples. She replied with a smile, "You're right. But students nowadays sure are braver than we were back then. They show up so boldly."

"Hmm? Did you date during college?" Fu Chengyan asked. Shi Nuan cast a sideways glance at him and pursed her lips, asking, "Is that wrong? Did you not date anyone during your college days?" Fu Chengyan laughed softly and patted Shi Nuan on the head. "You sure are savvy."

Shi Nuan pushed his hand away. "It's not about being savvy. I'm telling the truth here! Who doesn't have their own past?" She then turned to Fu Chengyan, exclaiming, "There's no way you've never dated anyone during college!"

Fu Chengyan's lips curled into a smile. He placed his fingers on the armrest and took the chance to hold Shi Nuan's hand. "What are you doing?" Shi Nuan asked while blushing.

"Focus on the movie!"

Shi Nuan wanted to say more, but seeing that Fu Chengyan's gaze was now on the huge screen, there was nothing else she could do. Her hand was being held by Fu Chengyan and that man even squeezed her knuckles slightly.

Shi Nuan's body jerked a little as though an electric shock traveled through every vein of her body. The tingling sensation was something new to her.

With Fu Chengyan holding onto her hand like that, Shi Nuan couldn't focus on the movie at all. She could only think of how to get her handoff. Yet, every time she tried to retract her hand, Fu Chengyan would tighten his grip. It was as though he was doing it intentionally.

Shi Nuan bit her lip. "Let go of me."

"Don't make a fuss!" Fu Chengyan said softly. He played with Shi Nuan's fingers before laughing softly, "I wasn't even 18 when I went to college. Did you forget?"

Shi Nuan turned to look at Fu Chengyan in shock. Amidst all the lights and shadows, she couldn't stop her heart from pounding erratically when she gazed upon Fu Chengyan's chiseled face.

Shi Nuan's chest tightened as the two main characters interacted in the movie, but she felt her fingers gripped even more tightly.

Fu Chengyan then placed her hand on his thigh and tapped her fingertips gently. "May, girls like this type of movie? Domineering CEOs?"
