For Charlie, resting at home was better than sitting there watching this crap. The past few days had really worn him out.
He didn't enjoy this film at all. He tried to maneuver his body into a more comfortable position.
He just wanted the film to be over. It was hard for him to sit there and watch this boring stuff.
The film was warm and sweet.
Bella's attention was partly on the film and partly on Charlie.
Throughout, he showed no emotion. He stared at the screen as if he hadn't seen what the couples were doing around him.
Bella's breast heaved. She thought for a while and leaned boldly on his shoulder.
Her heart almost fell out of her chest as she leaned toward him, but there was no reaction from him.
Maybe it was his personality, she thought. He was cold and passive by nature.
Bella felt her face was burning. Instead of pushing her away, Charlie let her lean on him.
Bella was pleased, though Charlie did not hold her in his arms.
The film wasn't over yet. Charlie suddenly made a move, and Bella's head slipped from his shoulder.
She was stunned and then looked up at him. Charlie said frostily, "I'm just adjusting my position. It’s a little sore." Bella said nothing more, maintaining her posture and blushing. She was naturally timid and uptight, especially in his presence.
She remained in this state until the end of the film. It was over ten o'clock when the film was over. She was hungry and said she wanted something to eat.
Charlie said nothing and went to the nearby night market with her. The night market was bustling with people, and excitement permeated the air.
Bella chose a table and wiped the chairs.
