Taking a taxi back, they arrived at the familiar intersection right at noon. Jiang Xueli stared at their intertwined hands. The gloom from the movie theater had vanished within minutes, replaced by a faint smile on her face.
"We have to head back to school this afternoon. Does that mean our date today is over? Are we both going home now?" Lin Zhengran asked.
Jiang Xueli was reluctant to let it end like this. It felt like such a short date. They hadn't really done anything... just slept through two movies. She didn't want to let go of his hand.
Seeing her looking so down, Lin Zhengran smiled and said, "Don't we have another date once your competition results are out? If you still want to watch a movie then, we can."
Thinking it over, Jiang Xueli realized he was right and slowly nodded.
