Those Sweet Times
Chapter 63-2

“Basement is good, basement is good.” Yue Yingying was quite happy with Lin Chuyan’s unexpected progress. Then she noticed that her husband was frowning: “Why aren’t you happy about it?”

“I’m thinking, Chuyan……” Lin Xueyuan pointed at his own temple while talking: “Something isn’t quite right in here.”

“What do you mean?”

Lin Xueyuan came closer to his wife and whispered to her ear.

Yue Yingying grew worried after he finished. “Why is he so silly? Letting a girl see him like that, what would she think of him?”

“That’s exactly what I’m thinking. It’s so silly.”

“Do you have a picture of him? Let me see it.”

“No……”

Yue Yingying was a little disappointed, but asked another question: “What do you think they’re watching now?”

This piqued Lin Xueyuan’s interest. “It must be a love story.”

Lin Xueyuan was right. Lin Chuyan and Xiang Nuan were watching a love story.

The name of the movie was <Flipped>, a classic love story between two teenagers, callow and innocent.

The family movie theatre in the basement was compact and dim. In a space like this, the darkness seemed to shrink the distance between people.

Lin Chuyan sat right next to Xiang Nuan. Illuminated by the movie screen, he turned to the side from time to time to check Xiang Nuan’s expression.

She seemed absent-minded. Her eyes weren’t focused on the screen.

Lin Chuyan was a little disappointed…...it seemed that Xiang Nuan’s mind would wander when she watched a love story with him.

In the movie, the boy and the girl were planting a tree together. As they shoveled dirt onto the roots of the tree, the boy’s hand overlapped over the girl’s.

Lin Chuyan’s heart slightly quivered and his hand began moving towards hers.

Xiang Nuan suddenly slapped her lap: “I remember now!”

Lin Chuyan was shocked by her.

“What do you remember now?” He asked in a low voice, with some frustration in the edges.

“I remember where I’ve seen your father before.”

“On TV? In a magazine?”

“No.” Xiang Nuan shook her head: “I saw him once at the bank of the lake at the main campus. He was on the phone at the time and very angry. He scared Waiwai Xuezhang and I. Your father apologized to us very politely and said that he’s angry because of his son. He said his son……” Xiang Nuan stopped in the middle of her sentence. She recalled the words his father had said: “He’s quite shameless.”

Lin Chuyan didn’t expect this to happen. He already felt that it was somewhat difficult to repair his image in Xiang Nuan’s mind. Now even his own father had made things more difficult for him.

Xiang Nuan found the entire thing rather humorous and giggled as she looked at Lin Chuyan: “No one knows a son better than his father.”

Lin Chuyan crushed the popcorn in his hand.
