First Romance Episode 5 Recap
> First Romance Recap
To get closer to Yan Ke, Xiong Yifan specially chose the classical music course. Having caught a cold, she was sighing at her reflection in a trash can when, as if that wasn't enough misfortune, her hair got tangled in Bai Yuze's bag strap. The more tangled and anxious she got, the tighter her hair became tangled. Bai Yuze had no choice but to pull Xiong Yifan to his classroom, where they separated amidst the laughter of the whole class.
The embarrassed Xiong Yifan quickly left, accidentally dropping her meal card, which let Bai Yuze know who this girl, who seemed to have fallen from the sky, really was. This little incident made Xiong Yifan late; everyone had already formed groups.
In order not to affect Xiong Yifan's final exam score, or perhaps due to an instinct to get closer to her, Yan Ke declined his roommate's invitation and proactively chose to be in the same group as Xiong Yifan alone. Xiong Yifan's mood was like a sudden rain stopping and the sky clearing; she was incredibly happy. The part-time job Ding Ming took on was due. Anxious to develop the photos, she came to the school's darkroom.
Looking at the nearly perfectly composed photos in the room, she couldn't help but exclaim in admiration and awe. Just as Ding Ming was about to sit down to develop photos, she accidentally got something in her eye and couldn't open her eyes, so she could only grope in the dark for the washing basin. A voice of reprimand sounded in front of Ding Ming.
Bai Yuze skillfully washed Ding Ming's eyes, put in eye drops, and helped her sit on a chair outside the darkroom. It wasn't until Bai Yuze left that Ding Ming could barely open her eyes; she couldn't even see his back, but the other person's gentle voice and actions had taken root in her heart. Afterwards, no matter where or when, Ding Ming would always stare blankly.
Even though she hadn't seen him, she was sure the other person must be a handsome guy, wondering who that gentle "male god" could be. In the library, Xiong Yifan stared at Yan Ke, unable to get enough of looking at him. The two of them were in the same group working on the group assignment.
Yan Ke was focused on introducing the origins of classical music, but Xiong Yifan's heart and eyes were completely filled with the man in front of her; she didn't hear at all what he was saying. Sunlight shone down on their heads. The gentle light made Yan Ke look even more gentle and handsome, making it hard for Xiong Yifan to pull herself out of her inner joy and absorption.
It wasn't until Yan Ke asked if she was willing that Xiong Yifan finally came back to her senses. While she was still figuring out what was happening, she was pulled into the cinema by Yan Ke. Xiong Yifan looked at the movie ticket Yan Ke handed her; the three characters "《钢琴家》" (Pianist) were written on it. She subconsciously wondered why Yan Ke would want to watch a movie he had already seen again.
It turned out that during high school, Xiong Yifan had personally seen Yan Ke go to the cinema with a girl named Tang Tang. At that time, Xiong Yifan had been stood up by Ding Ming at the cinema. When she saw Yan Ke, she subconsciously followed behind him. It wasn't until she was reminded by a staff member that she had entered the wrong screening room that she learned the movie Yan Ke was watching was indeed "The Pianist".
Now, Xiong Yifan felt as if her beautiful dream had come true. She really walked into the cinema with Yan Ke, sat together watching the movie, just like on a date. Their hands were on the armrest, just a hair's breadth away from touching. They had no mind to watch what the movie was actually showing; their entire hearts were secretly focused on each other.
Xiong Yifan's pounding heart made her unable to resist lifting her finger and placing it on the back of Yan Ke's hand. The moment she touched his skin, Xiong Yifan recoiled as if she had been electrocuted, afraid that she would scare Yan Ke away in panic again, like before. The difference was, the former Yan Ke was at a loss because he thought he liked men.
The current him was very clear that he liked girls, and his previously restrained heart burned again. He already had a driver's license but still wanted to learn driving; he had already seen the movie but wanted to watch it again. This was proof that Yan Ke wanted to go on a date with Xiong Yifan in a roundabout way.
