“Going to the movies? Monitor, are you also here to see this cartoon?” Jane Webb asks Jay with doubt. She remembers that when she was in high school, Jay, as a monitor, always ranked in the top three in the exam. He was famous for his good studies.
Shouldn’t people who study so well look at something high-end, sophisticated and classy, like documentaries, exploring the earth or something? How can he watch cartoons?
Facing Jane Webb’s questioning eyes, Jay is embarrassed. How does he say to Jane Webb? Could he say that a big man like him likes to watch cartoons very much? The result is, of course, impossible.
“And you? What’s the matter? Why are you crying here alone?” Jay quickly changes the topic and asks Jane Webb.
When asked this question, Jane Webb suddenly becomes very disappointed. She lowers her head and shrinks there into a small group without speaking.
Looking at her reaction, Jayguesses a general idea. “Well, it’s OK. Don’t be unhappy. Look at you; you have cried away your makeup. As a girl, you should pay attention to your image. If you meet a handsome guy, your appearance will scare away him.”
Seeing that Jane Webb is in a bad mood, Jay helps her to arrange her hair while teasing her.
Jane Webb is a little embarrassed by what he said. She quickly takes out the small mirror from her bag and looks at her face.
She has put on makeup powder before going out! Her makeup hasn’t been washed away. When she is about to ask Jay, she see the proud smile on his face. She just realizes that she is cheated by him!
“Ah, monitor, how can you be like this?” Jane Webb stands there and stamps her feet angrily.
“Ha, ha, ha, I just see you are in a bad mood? Then, are you in a better mood now? But girls should pay attention to their image.”
Luca Webb rushes to the cinema and see this scene. Jane Webb sits there talking and laughing with a man. He just worries that she would be sad because he is late, it turns out that he thinks too much. Jane Webb feels that someone is sweeping her with fiery eyes.
Looking up, it turns out to be Luca Webb. Luca Webb is naturally ecstatic at that time. This can’t be her illusion, he really comes, and he doesn’t forget what he has promised.
Now she can’t care about the reservation. Like swallow comes back to its nest, she runs to Luca Webb in large steps, throws her into his arms and hugs tightly the man in front of her.
Jaylooks at the scene before him. What’s the situation? It seems that if he guesses correctly, the man hugged by Jane Webb should be the one she likes or her boyfriend?
When Luca Webb is hugged by Jane Webb, his anger and resentment disappears. He thinks that that man should be an ordinary friend. Otherwise, how can Jane Webb make such an intimate move apparently before him? It turns out that he thinks too much about everything.
“Well, how old are you? You are so unstable and run so fast. What if you fall down?” After Luca Webb confirms his liking for Jane Webb, his tone of voice becomes gentle.
Jane Webb has never seen such a gentle Luca Webb to her. In her opinion, all the tenderness and patience of Luca Webb have been given to Butler alone.
He always cold when being with her and doesn’t talk much. She can’t even see him smile. So seeing Luca Webb treats her so gently, she feels a little silly. Is this still the original Luca Webb?
“Why are you so late? The movie is almost finished. I thought you were not coming!” Jane Webb acts in a pettishly charming manner to Luca Webb, with some resentment in her tone. The movie indeed is almost finished.
“Honey, I have something to do at the moment. I come out late and leave the phone at home, so I can’t call you. If you want to see it, it’s the same if we come back tomorrow.”
Jay: I’m really full of this dog food.
Luca Webb rubs Jane Webb’s hair with some pet in his eyes. If she wants to watch it, he could books the whole theatre to be a private show tomorrow.
