Chapter 129: Chapter 129

They walked quite a distance.

"Let’s watch a movie," Elias Lancaster said.

"Is there a cinema here?"

"Did you buy the tickets already?"

"We can buy them on site." Elias Lancaster led her through an alley to the other side.

They saw a wooden sign with the simple words "Cinema" on it.

She thought they were going in.

But Elias Lancaster took her hand and led her to a nearby milk tea shop.

Serena Keaton realized their destination and her face lit up with happiness; if her hand wasn’t held, she would have jumped with joy.

As they entered the shop, Serena Keaton looked at the menu and ordered two cups of jasmine milk green tea, full sugar, hot.

After ordering, the staff gave them a receipt and asked them to wait for a moment.

"Is there any good movie out recently?" Serena Keaton asked. "What type do you like?"

Elias Lancaster replied, "I’ll go with whatever you choose."

Serena Keaton took out her phone to check for good movies or new releases recently.

But after a while, she didn’t find any movie she felt like watching.

Just then, a staff member came over with a bag, "Hello, your tea is ready to go."

As Serena Keaton reached out to take it, a big hand grabbed the bag before her.

Elias Lancaster took a cup from the bag, punctured it with a straw, and handed it to Serena Keaton.

Serena Keaton took a sip, her face filled with satisfaction. So delicious.

Then, imitating Elias Lancaster, she took out the other cup from the bag, inserted a straw, and handed it to him.

Elias Lancaster accepted it, took a sip, and said nothing. Holding the milk tea in one hand and Serena Keaton’s hand in the other, he left the shop.

He’s never been fond of sweet things, but for the sake of his beloved, he didn’t mind indulging a bit.

Serena Keaton took another big sip, her taste buds delighted. It was so good; she really liked the flavor.

Girls usually like sweet things, and Serena Keaton was no different.

She remembered the first time she had milk tea, back in high school, brought to her by Nathan Sawyer.

Back then, she thought it was too luxurious.

But now, she felt it was just right and tasted great.

Maybe because of the company she was with.

Serena Keaton sipped her tea little by little along the way, finding it more addictive with each sip.

Elias Lancaster held her hand and bought tickets for the next available movie, a horror film.

He guided her through ticket inspection into the cinema, finding their seats along the way.

A few minutes later, the movie started, and the lights in the theater dimmed, leaving only the flickering screen light.

Serena Keaton sat down, sipping her sweet milk tea and munching on the popcorn and fries that Elias Lancaster fed her.

Having never been to the movies before, Serena Keaton curiously looked around the theater.

Aside from the huge screen in front, there wasn’t anything particularly special.

Gradually, numerous couples filed in.

The movie began, the sound so loud it was like someone shouting into a loudspeaker right next to her ear.

Serena Keaton sat in the chair, her mouth moving non-stop like a little bunny, constantly nibbling.

She reached to offer Elias Lancaster a piece of popcorn, which he accepted, even playfully taking her fingers into his mouth.

In the darkness, Serena Keaton’s face reddened, grateful for the dim lighting that kept others from noticing.

After that, she stopped feeding Elias Lancaster.

The movie had started; Serena Keaton fixed her eyes on the screen ahead.

This horror movie wasn’t scary at first, and Serena Keaton felt she could handle it without fear.

The screen began to show terrifying scenes.

Suddenly, an image with a dismembered head and body...

Screams erupted across the theater.

Many girlfriends leaned in fear into their boyfriends’ arms.

Elias Lancaster hoped his beloved would also seek the comfort of his embrace.

He glanced at the person beside him.

His beloved was busy, if not sipping tea, then munching popcorn.

Not a trace of fear in sight!

Serena Keaton sensed his gaze, looked over, and thinking he wanted popcorn, offered the tub.

He didn’t move. She lightly nudged him, and only then did he grab a piece and toss it into his mouth.

He sighed softly. Why was his beloved so unique?

According to the internet, watching a horror movie is great for a date; when the girl gets scared, she snuggles into the guy’s arms, and feelings intensify.

Seems you can’t always trust the internet.

Elias Lancaster felt a bit frustrated. Content orıginally comes from 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝙣𝙚𝙩

Even until the movie ended, Serena Keaton was engrossed and excitedly discussed the scary parts with Elias Lancaster.

Elias Lancaster regretted not choosing a different time slot, perhaps for a romance film.

They walked out hand in hand after the movie.

Walking along the path, Elias Lancaster suddenly stopped and glanced toward a corner.

Serena Keaton curiously followed his gaze.

She noticed a couple in the corner passionately kissing.

She quietly turned her head to another corner, only to find another couple doing the same thing.

Isn’t the point of dating to properly enjoy each other’s company?

Were they going out just to find a new place to kiss?

She silently withdrew her gaze, sipping her milk tea. Looking up, she met Elias Lancaster’s intense stare.

It seemed to say, I want that too.

Serena Keaton blinked, giving him a look as a warning not to act rashly.

Elias Lancaster suddenly leaned forward.

Serena Keaton’s heart skipped a beat, "Not out here..."

Before she could finish, she felt the softness of lips on hers.

But Elias Lancaster quickly pulled away.

Elias Lancaster knew his beloved was very shy.

A stolen kiss was enough.

The rest could wait for the night; once in bed, she wouldn’t be able to resist him.

Happily, he took her small hand and headed forward.

Serena Keaton thought he would...

Turned out, this man had self-control.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

Elias Lancaster found a restaurant and ordered two steaks.

Serena Keaton gazed out the window at the lively scene, filled with passing couples.

Mostly college students.

She looked back at the man across from her, watching him sanitize the utensils.

The steaks were served quickly.

He moved her steak in front of him and cut it into small pieces.

Serena Keaton observed his graceful movements, his handsome face, and noble demeanor, admiring the sight like a painting of a beautiful man dining.

They enjoyed their lunch, the view outside full of life and quite relaxing.

After lunch, Elias Lancaster ordered her favorite strawberry cake.

She took a bite, and the strawberry aroma spread instantly in her mouth.

Once they were rested, the two strolled to the riverside.

Serena Keaton noticed the tandem bicycles, pulling Elias Lancaster over to them, "Elias, I want to ride this."
