Chapter 90 He held my hand?
Pei Yi'an watched intently as well.
However, beneath her calm exterior, her heart was far from tranquil.
In absolute darkness and with stunning surround sound, the senses are amplified to the extreme.
She could clearly feel Ye Fan's presence beside her—his breathing rhythm, his posture of leaning forward or backward slightly with the plot, and even the lingering fresh scent of soap after his bath, mixed with the smell of the afternoon sun, faintly discernible.
When the scene of the father and daughter parting in the movie appeared, and Cooper looked at his crying daughter Murphy in the five-dimensional bookshelf, and the ethereal and sad melody of "Cornfield Chase" played in the background, Pei Yi'an's eyes were slightly moist.
Her emotions also fluctuated, and an indescribable feeling surged in her chest.
Just then.
The movie scene shifts to a giant ocean planet, where towering waves sweep in with a destructive sense of oppression, and the IMAX sound effects vibrate so loudly that the seats resonate!
Pei Yi'an subconsciously felt a pang of heart palpitation, and his body tensed slightly.
Almost at the same moment.
A warm, dry hand, with tentative hesitation, gently and quietly covered the back of her hand that was resting on the armrest of the chair.
Ye Fan also felt the person next to him freeze instantly, and he thought she was frightened by the shocking scene.
Without thinking, he reached out and gently placed his hand on the back of her slightly cool hand, wanting to convey some comfort and strength.
"Don't be afraid."
He turned his head slightly and, amidst the deafening sound effects, whispered something in her ear.
Pei Yi'an's body trembled violently!
It wasn't fear, but rather being completely struck by the sudden touch from Ye Fan and the warm breath on her ear!
A powerful electric current surged from the back of his hand, which was covered by the current, through his entire body and straight to the top of his head!
Her heart felt as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, pounding wildly as if it would leap out of her chest!
He...he held my hand?
In the darkness, Pei Yi'an's cheeks instantly burned, as if on fire.
She dared not move, and even held her breath.
The hand that covered the back of her hand was warm and strong, as if it possessed some kind of magic, firmly captivating all her senses.
She could even feel the lines on his palm and the blood rushing beneath the skin of the back of her hand.
The movie was still showing a thrilling escape, but all she could feel in her world was the burning sensation on the back of her hand and the lingering words of "Don't be afraid" in her ear.
After Ye Fan said "Don't be afraid," he didn't immediately withdraw his hand.
It was originally just a subconscious gesture of comfort, but when his palm touched Pei Yi'an's cool and delicate hand, a strange and soft sensation instantly came over him.
He paused for a moment, then belatedly realized the intimate meaning behind the gesture.
Oops!
He instinctively wanted to pull his hand back, but the slight coolness his fingertips felt and Pei Yi'an's instant stiffness made him hesitate again.
He could sense Pei Yi'an's nervousness and even imagine her flushed cheeks.
A subtle emotion welled up inside me.
Forget it, so be it.
He steeled his resolve and didn't immediately pull away. Instead, he loosened his grip slightly, making the covering even gentler, as if it were only a temporary pause.
The movie's visuals were still stunning, but half of his thoughts drifted to the hand he had "accidentally" grasped beside him.
Her hands... mmm! So soft...
Pei Yi'an felt Ye Fan's hand relax, and the powerful pressure instantly disappeared, replaced by a gentle, continuous warmth that softly enveloped the back of her hand.
He didn't take it back!
This realization did not calm her heartbeat; instead, it made it beat faster and more erratically, as if a herd of deer were rampaging through her chest.
An unprecedented mix of sweetness and shyness welled up in my heart.
She carefully, almost holding her breath, tried to keep the hand he was covering still.
however.
Without her own awareness, her fingertips subtly and tentatively flicked back, quietly touching the edge of Ye Fan's fingers.
This extremely subtle response, like a faint electric current, was instantly transmitted to Ye Fan.
Ye Fan's heart skipped a beat!
He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but the extremely light touch from her fingertips was crystal clear.
In the darkness, the corners of his mouth involuntarily curved upwards into a slight arc.
He made no further move, nor did he release her hand. He maintained this gentle, slightly ambiguous posture and continued watching the movie.
What was originally just a gesture of "comfort" has now quietly given rise to an indescribable, innocent yet sweet flutter of emotion.
......
Only after the thrilling scene on the ocean planet subsided and the scene shifted to a relatively peaceful setting did Pei Yi'an seem to awaken from some kind of dream.
She very slowly, with a hint of shyness and immense reluctance, gently withdrew her hand from Ye Fan's palm.
Her movements were unusually gentle, as if she were afraid of breaking some invisible taboo.
Ye Fan also withdrew his hand, his fingertips still feeling the delicate touch and cool temperature of her skin.
Neither of them spoke, their gazes refocusing on the giant screen. But in the dim light of the theater, a silent, subtle atmosphere flowed between them, as if even the air itself had become quieter.
That atmosphere was more profound and elusive than the vast universe depicted in the movie.
As the movie ended and we walked out of the theater.
Night has quietly fallen, and the city lights are just coming on.
Are you hungry?
Ye Fan looked at Pei Yi'an beside him; her cheeks still seemed to have a lingering blush under the lights outside the cinema.
"Yeah, a little."
She responded softly, her voice even softer than usual.
The darkness seemed to offer her a protective layer, making her more relaxed than during the day, but the excitement she felt in the movie theater still lingered in her mind.
Ye Fan suggested:
"Shall we go to the ancient city now?"
"it is good."
Pei Yi'an responded softly and followed beside him.
The ancient city of Nanzhou is the beating heart of this city.
The bluestone path meanders forward under the warm yellow light of lanterns, flanked by old arcade buildings that are mottled yet still retain their charm.
The shops are lined up one after another, selling a wide variety of Minnan specialty snacks, handicrafts, tea and incense.
The place was bustling with noise—shouting, bargaining, and tourists' laughter mingled together, creating a vibrant and lively atmosphere.
The air was filled with the aromas of various foods: the fresh sweetness of seafood, the caramelized fragrance of fried food, the rich aroma of braised dishes, and the refreshing sweetness of sugar syrup...
Every breath felt like entering a warm, colorful world.
The two walked side by side through the crowd, their shoulders occasionally brushing lightly, as if this silent intimacy had become exceptionally natural at that moment.
"What would you like to eat?"
Ye Fan asked, his gaze sweeping over the fragrant stalls:
"This is a food paradise."
Pei Yi'an's gaze lingered among the bustling stalls.
Unlike Tang Yanning, she wasn't easily excited or exclaiming. Instead, she smiled slightly, carefully observing every aspect of the local life, as if even her breathing carried a gentle sense of discovery.
finally.
Her gaze fell upon a stall selling sea worm jelly.
The crystal-clear sea worm jelly is served in a small bowl like jelly, sprinkled with bright green cilantro and bright red chili oil, looking especially tempting under the light.
