Amber hurriedly took off her glasses and turned to look, only to find that Jared's head was pressed against her shoulder.
She shook her shoulders and whispered, "Jared?"
The man didn't respond.
Amber poked her head forward and saw his closed eyes and quiet face in the light emanating from the big screen.
Was Jared asleep?
Amber was a little surprised as well as speechless.
Was the movie really so dull that he fell asleep?
Yet, this film billed itself as a spy drama while the actual plot actually revolved around a love story.
The theme might not even appeal to ordinary men, let alone Jared.
"Since you don't like this genre, why did you choose to watch this film?" murmured Amber. She looked at the man's sleeping face and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
But she didn't intend to wake Jared up. The movie had just started for half an hour, and there was still an hour and a half before it ended. If she woke him up, he would undoubtedly fall asleep later. So, she might as well just let him sleep.
Amber reached out to gather Jared's coat around him.
Although the movie room had heating, people would also feel cold when they fell asleep.
She didn't wear a coat, so she only gathered Jared's own coat to keep him warm.
Then Amber put on her glasses and continued watching the movie.
The moment she turned her head to the big screen, the man sleeping on her shoulder suddenly opened his eyes.
Jared didn't move his head but only looked down.
His lips lifted slightly when he saw that his coat was buttoned up.
He had indeed fallen asleep just now, but Amber had also awakened him.
However, he didn't open his eyes because he wanted to see if Amber would directly wake him up.
To his surprise, she didn't do that but let him sleep, buttoned up his coat for fear that he would be cold, and she even gently repositioned his head to rest more comfortably on her shoulder.
Amber's warmhearted action made Jared want to open his eyes immediately and hug her.
But he couldn't. In Amber's eyes, he was asleep. If he opened his eyes, she would instantly realize that he was deliberately testing her reaction by pretending to be asleep, and she would be pissed off.
It was better not to open his eyes.
However, it didn't mean that he couldn't hug her.
At the thought of it, Jared suddenly lifted his right hand and put his arm around Amber's waist.
Amber was stunned, and her body subconsciously stiffened.
Anyone who was suddenly taken into one's arm would definitely be shocked.
However, it was only she and Jared here now, so it was obvious who held her around the waist.
The corner of Amber's mouth twitched. She looked down and saw Jared's right arm was firmly around her waist.
He was awake all the time, wasn't he?
Otherwise, how could his arm be firmly around her waist?
If someone were asleep, his arms would hang down relaxed when he held others' waist but wouldn't hang around firmly.
He had almost tricked her!
"Wake up!" Amber nudged Jared. "Stop pretending to be asleep."
Jared didn't move at all, not showing any signs of waking up.
Amber frowned. "Jared, are you sure that you want to go on pretending? If you don't wake up, I'll throw you out."
Jared still didn't move.
Amber observed him for a while. His face was still calm, his eyelashes didn't flutter a bit, and even his breathing was slow and regular. He looked like he had fallen asleep.
Amber wasn't sure if he was asleep or not.
