The Protagonist Just Wants to Fall in Love [MTL]

Chapter 206 Alpha

We booked the same restaurant as before. The window seat had a good view. We had dinner together. It was still early, and it had just gotten dark.

　　After the meal, Huo Yanxi noticed that Wen Yao spoke less and was absent-minded, as if he had something on his mind. He looked fine and had his usual bright smile on his face.

　　"Do you have anything to do when you return to school tonight?" Huo Yanxi asked.

　　"No more." Wen Yao said, "School has just started, so I'm not busy."

　　Huo Yanxi: "It's still early, do you want to go to the movies?"

　　"Okay." Wen Yao agreed straightforwardly.

　　Huo Yanxi frowned. If it were before, Huo Yanxi might not have noticed so quickly that something was wrong with his mood, because Wen Yao didn't seem to have anything abnormal. But now that they had been together for a long time, he could quickly detect that subtle feeling.

The two men left the restaurant and got into the car, and the driver in front started the car.

　　Wen Yao thought that what Huo Yanxi meant by watching a movie was going to the cinema, but he didn't expect the car to drive directly to an apartment building. Wen Yao followed Huo Yanxi out of the car. He had never been here before, so he guessed that this was Huo Yanxi's residence, which was not far from his school.

　　I walked in and got on the elevator, which went directly to the floor.

　　The lights were on in the quiet corridor. Wen Yao looked at the man's broad shoulders, which made his black shirt look great. He had a mature masculine charm. The door opened, and Huo Yanxi groped for the light in the room, and the living room lit up.

　　"Come in." Huo Yanxi put his coat aside and bent down to put down a pair of slippers.

　　The room also maintained Huo Yanxi's consistent simple style. The table and the sofa were empty. At first glance, it didn't look like anyone lived there. The cup for drinking water was the one Huo Yanxi took out from the cabinet.

　　"Is there... any wine?" Wen Yao asked.

　　When Huo Yanxi said it was in the refrigerator, Wen Yao put down the cup in his hand and opened the refrigerator. There were quite a few cans of beer and some mineral water drinks inside, and nothing else. Huo Yanxi was too casual in his life.

　　"Brother Huo, don't drink this all the time." The man holding a bunch of beer said, "It's not healthy."

　　"...Put down what you are holding and talk to me." Huo Yanxi glanced at the thing in his hand indifferently.

　　In fact, the drinks and beer were filled in two days ago.

　　"Didn't we talk about going to a movie?" Wen Yao changed the subject.

　　Huo Yanxi: "This way."

　　Huo Yanxi took Wen Yao into the screening room at home. In the dimly lit room, with the curtain down, Wen Yao sat down on the leather sofa and put the beer on the table.

　　"What movie do you want to watch?" Huo Yanxi asked.

　　Wen Yao: "It's a comedy."

　　The projector started working. The sofa was spacious enough for an adult man to lie down on it. When the prelude of the movie began, Huo Yanxi went out for a while and came back with a few bags of potato chips and snacks and placed them on the table.

　　The two sat down side by side. Wen Yao didn't touch the snacks much. He opened a can of beer and took a sip.

　　The movie began. Whether intentionally or not, the movie began with a story about a con man who received a job assignment and infiltrated a company. When the movie progressed to the point where the boss almost caught the con man and was fooled by the con man again, Wen Yao heard Huo Yanxi's sneer, which was definitely not a pleasure.
