In order to catch the plane, she had to get up early. After lunch, she couldn’t hold back her yawns. Unfortunately, it was seen by Fu Ting Chuan who forced her to go to his room to catch up on her sleep.
Jiang Tiao, “.....No need.”
Fu Ting Chuan, “Do you want me to hold you and take you upstairs?”
Jiang Tiao, “No! I’ll go to sleep now!”
Probably his bed is too soft and his breath is too gentle because she had a good sleep.
When she woke up, it is 5 in the evening.
The dark sky outside shows that the night is about to consume the world.
When she came downstairs, Fu Ting Chuan and Xu Cheare sitting next to each other in the living room playing video games on the TV. To make the screen clearer, the lights were turned off casting the entire room in darkness except for a wall lamp…..
Jiang Tiao vaguely remembered Xu Che choosing a game to play before going upstairs to sleep. She asked, “Have you been playing the entire afternoon?”
Both of them nodded at the same time while Xu Che answered, “Yes.”
This is one of their favorite recreational activities on their day off! When there are more people around they would play cards or mahjong but since there are only two of them today, they can only play video games.
Jiang Tiao facepalmed, “.....” Men really are men.
Fu Ting Chuan immediately put down the black controller and look at Jiang Tiao, “Freshen up. We’re going out.”
It seems that Fu Ting Chuan isn’t a game addict. Between games and his girlfriend, it’s clear what is more important.
“Come back early! There’s still the Starlight Awards tomorrow–––” Jiang Tiao closed the car door as she heard Xu Che yelling across the yard.
Jiang Tiao, “.....”
The engine started and the G65 steadily set out on the road. Extreme off-roading cars are destined to make sitting uncomfortable on the road.

The engine started and the G65 steadily set out on the road. Extreme off-roading cars are destined to make sitting uncomfortable on the road.
Even if there are no bumps, the seats are hard and solid making it uncomfortable. Jiang Tiao asked, “You like these types of cars?”
“Yes.” Fu Ting Chuan nodded.
“Have you ever taken it out for a ride?” She knows he understands what she is asking. Buying this type of car, it is only reasonable to take it over the mountains, lakes, and forests to enjoy the scenery.
“No,” Fu Ting Chuan added, “There is no time.”
“Driving it around Beijing, wouldn’t you be contributing to the smog problem?” Jiang Tiao teased.
“En.”
“I didn’t think you would drive this kind of car, just like how I didn’t think you would know how to cook.” He gave her many surprises including him sitting next to her now and becoming her “chauffeur.”
“What kind of car do you think I drive?” Fu Ting Chuan asked.
Jiang Tiao thought about it and decided to poke fun at his age, “I thought you would drive an S-class car. However, you will not be driving and instead, you have a designated driver while you sleep in the back. After all, your age is big and your body can’t stand the bumpy ride of an off-road vehicle.”
As she said this, she didn’t bother trying to hide her smile.
This girl. Fu Ting Chuan peeked at her, “Age is big?”
The car turned a corner and easily cross the main road.
“Yes, could it be…..Hey!” The woman was suddenly interrupted.
The person next to her suddenly steps on the gas pedal causing the car to rush forward at full momentum.
Moving faster and faster.
The engine roared and the wind whistled in her ears. Even if the window isn’t open, there is a sense of chill on her face.
The seemingly flat road makes it feel like myriads of small waves transmitted to the bones.
The flowers and trees outside the window were zooming past them.
Heavens–––Too scary––––
Jiang Tiao tightly sat in her seat and don’t dare to look up front, “Slow down….slow down…..”
As they neared the entrance, Fu Ting Chuan release the gas pedal and the car gradually slowed.
When Jiang Tiao’s spirit slowly came back to her, she punched him in the shoulder, “Why did you drive so fast! So scary!”
Fu Ting Chuan said as a matter of factly, “When your age is big, it is necessary to drive fast to feel a sense of excitement.”
Jiang Tiao, “......” She knows she’s in the wrong now.
Fu Ting Chuan looked at her and smiled, “I bought this car because….when I am not filming, I will take my wife and children out for a scenic tour.”
The car is warm. Jiang Tiao didn’t say anything and her face became hotter and hotter.
Fu Ting Chuan asked again, “Jiang Tiao, do you like road trips?"
“I like it…..just don’t have time….” She lightly replied…..only hearing the “wife and children” part. He seemed as if he is probing her out, trying to find out her inner thoughts.
“I also like it.” Hearing such an answer, he smiled and seemed more composed.
……
They drove for a long time. Around 7 o’clock, they finally arrived at their destination. Fu Ting Chuan slowed down and approached the brilliantly lit and arched door.
It is already dark outside. Through her hazy eyes, Jiang Tiao vaguely saw a few big characters: Maple Garden Drive-In Theater.
She immediately sobered up, “We’re watching a movie?!”
“En.” Fu Ting Chuan replied.
Jiang Tiao turned to him, “What if someone recognizes you?” She is always worried.
“Yes.” Fu Ting Chuan nodded.
“Have you ever taken it out for a ride?” She knows he understands what she is asking. Buying this type of car, it is only reasonable to take it over the mountains, lakes, and forests to enjoy the scenery.
“No,” Fu Ting Chuan added, “There is no time.”

“En.” Fu Ting Chuan replied.
Jiang Tiao turned to him, “What if someone recognizes you?” She is always worried.
The man’s face is basked into the night. He slowly turned the steering wheel and calmly appeased, “Don’t worry.”
Under the cover of the night, Fu Ting Chuan smoothly bought tickets for the drive-in theater.
He handed two movie tickets to Jiang Tiao. She looked down and saw: Field A, 19:50 “The Martian.”
“We’re watching the movie in the car so no one will see me.” Fu Ting Chuan rubbed her head as if he is trying to relax her heart.
Fu Ting Chuan found a good parking space and parked there. Tall cars will automatically park in the back, otherwise, they will block the other cars. This is the basic etiquette of drive-in theaters.
Fu Ting Chuan turned off the headlight and the engine.
He stirred in his seat. He pulled out a plastic bag from the back seat and put it in front of Jiang Tiao.
What? Jiang Tiao looked up.
Fu Ting Chuan turned on the interior lights to let her see clearly. It is a bag full of snacks: potato chips, dried fruits, beef jerky, fruit jelly, etc. Anyway, there are all kinds of snacks that girls usually like to eat….
Fu Ting Chuan knit his brow and explained, “It’s all junk food, not very healthy but it isn’t a problem to eat occasionally. Drive-in theaters have this advantage. You stay in your own car, not seen by others and there will be no one dissatisfied with the sound of chewing.”
“So, little girl, eat.” He pulled out a bag of snacks and tore it open for her.
Heng, Jiang Tiao took the bag and let out of laugh.
She tightened the bag in her hand as her voice trembled, “Fu Ting Chuan….you are really good.”
“I know. No need to emphasize it.” He smiled and the girl’s sorrows are immediately destroyed in his embrace.
“Eiyo,” Jiang Tiao whispered, “Truly narcissistic.”
That’s right, Fu Ting Chuan smiled. He doesn’t want this girl to shed tears because of him but to smile more. He feels happy watching this.
