It snowed in Haishi that year. The snowflakes fell all over the city, but as soon as they touched the ground, they melted into water.
Jennie's flight was just a few days away. Now that winter break had started, she and Lisa were practically glued to each other every day.
For a couple about to be separated, every second together was precious.
After dinner one evening, the two of them walked hand in hand on the streets of Haishi. The cold wind blew, turning the melted snowflakes into dampness that seeped into their bones.
There was a private cinema at a street corner with dim lights. Jennie said, "Let's go watch a movie."
Lisa took her hand and nodded obediently.
The private cinema had individual small rooms where you could choose the movie you wanted to watch. Lisa opened the door to their room a crack and walked in with popcorn and two cups of cola.
Jennie still held the remote control in her hand and asked, "What do you want to watch?"
The young man put down what he was holding and said, "Anything is fine."
Jennie didn't expect him to answer anything specific, so she said, "Okay, let me choose."
The light from the screen reflected in the girl's eyes, and she frowned as she pondered, seeming to have a difficult time making a decision.
Lisa handed her a glass of Coke and said, "Take your time, it's okay."
Jennie took a sip and suddenly relaxed her furrowed brows. "They even have Harry Potter here, which I loved watching when I was a kid, especially the third one. I've watched it several times."
She turned her head, full of excitement. "Shall we watch Harry Potter?"
"Sure," Lisa nodded gently.
"But," Jennie's voice gradually lowered, muttering softly, "they don't have the first and second ones."
The theater was dimly lit, and the surroundings were quiet.
"You like the third one, right? Why don't we just start from there?" Lisa suggested.
Jennie turned her head, her lips moist from just finishing her cola.
"Have you seen Harry Potter? I'm afraid you won't understand if you start from the third one," she said.
Lisa's heart skipped a beat, and a smile spread across his usually cold features.
"I have seen it," he lied.
The girl's eyes lit up with excitement. "Great, then let's start with the third one!"
The screen suddenly went dark, and the room was pitch black. Their breathing intertwined like vines outside the window.
Lisa felt the warmth of the girl's body gradually spreading to his heart through their touching arms.
It was a kind of warmth that made him addicted and at peace. His fingers trembled slightly, and finally he slowly raised his arm and embraced the girl in his arms.
The screen lit up with a faint light, and the movie began.
Lisa watched absentmindedly, but the girl in his arms was watching very seriously.
The third part of Harry Potter was the turning point where the fairy tale was buried in darkness.
Although Jennie had watched it several times, her memories were already distant, and the ups and downs of the plot still made her heart hang and then fall.
