lu yinxi was a little disappointed.

she thought that fang zicheng was going to take her out to play.

it was their first date. lu yinxi was full of anticipation. she had already thought about it. later, she would go out and buy him a pair of knitted gloves as a souvenir for their first date.

she had already prepared the money, but fang zicheng said that he had to do homework that night.

ever since she found out that fang zicheng could hear her inner thoughts, lu yinxi would try her best not to whisper to him. therefore, fang zicheng had no idea what she was really thinking.

the night was very cold. the cold wind blew in her face, and lu yinxi’s nose was cold. her nose was already running. fang zicheng passed the milk tea to her and said, ” it’s still hot. i didn’t know what you liked to drink, so i bought you some ginger tea. ”

lu yinxi held the milk tea in her hands and thought,”even if i don’t like drinking ginger tea, i will love it from today onwards.”

fang zicheng heard what lu yinxi said in her heart and was in an exceptionally good mood.

he was in a good mood and suddenly felt that doing homework was boring.

fang zicheng stopped in his tracks.

lu yinxi also stopped.

“what’s wrong?” lu yinxi raised her head and looked at the back of fang zicheng’s head. fang zicheng turned to look at her and said, ” we still have a long way to go. let’s do our homework next time. tonight, we’ll go to the movies. ”

as for doing homework or whatever, it’s better to do it next time.

lu yinxi’s eyes lit up. “alright.”

there was a movie theater nearby. it wasn’t large, only one floor, and had six broadcasting rooms. when they arrived at the venue, fang zicheng asked lu yinxi to choose what she liked. lu yinxi wasn’t someone who liked to watch movies.

she told fang zicheng, ” you pick. i’m fine with anything. ”

“that’s good.”

fang zicheng did not back down.

he went through the films that were to be released that day and finally chose the least viewed documentary. the documentary’s name was “the gate of life,” and it was a record of pregnancy.

this documentary had actually been released for many years. before this, it had always been shown on the website as a tv series.

lu yinxi had never seen this film before, but fang zicheng had heard of it.

“let’s look at this, what do you think?” although lu yinxi had allowed fang zicheng to choose his own film, fang zicheng still had to ask for lu yinxi’s opinion. lu yinxi was quite curious about the film, so she nodded and agreed.

it was almost christmas, and there were many popular movies being screened recently. the number of people who chose to watch this documentary was pitifully small. there were too many popular movies, and in order to make money, the cinema only arranged for this documentary to be screened once.

lu yinxi and fang zicheng were lucky enough to be in the screening of the movie.

fang zicheng had a habit of buying a bucket of popcorn when he watched movies. although there was a screening room at home and his parents would occasionally take them out to watch movies, fang yusheng would buy a family bucket every time they went to the cinema to watch movies.

fang zicheng thought that he would have to buy popcorn if he brought his future wife to watch a movie.

the two of them held a bucket of popcorn, while fang zicheng held a cup of coke in his other hand. lu yinxi secretly brought the unfinished milk tea into the screening room. lu yinxi thought that the movie was about the things between a newborn baby and its mother. she didn’t expect the content to be so shocking and even infuriating.

it described the dangerous scene of a mother’s life and death when she gave birth, as well as the joy of the whole family when the newborn was about to come. there was a child who was heartlessly abandoned by his father and given up on treatment because of physical problems. as for his mother, her eyes were filled with tears, but she did not fight for her child.

what could he do?

the child was not healthy. they had spent money and effort to save the child, but the child would only be a burden in the future. a family that could have been considered to have an acceptable financial condition was now going down the path of destruction because of a child …

they had no choice but to abandon it.

there was a mother who gave birth to a pair of twins. they were premature, and they were only twenty-odd weeks old. the child’s parents were true-blue farmers who were poor to the point of poverty. the child was born prematurely and needed to be kept in a thermos for a period of time. in such a large hospital, the daily expenses would be in the thousands.

to the first poor family, it was no different from a blow to the head.

lu yinxi watched as her honest father went around borrowing money to keep her two daughters alive. she was greatly shocked.

fang zicheng was also entranced.

when he saw what the parents in the documentary did for their children, he was reminded of his own parents. in the early years, his family had put in a lot of effort for him because of his emotional deficiency.

he still remembered the time when fang zikai had fallen into the lake, and he had decided to leave him to die. although he had jumped into the lake to save his brother, fang zicheng still felt ashamed for his cold and emotionless self.

they were a family. just like in the documentary, they had been living together ever since they were in her mother’s womb. they had grown together from two fertilized eggs to two little babies. they had descended into this strange world at the same time. there was no relationship that could be more intimate than this.

and he, at the moment when his brother almost died, watched him sink to the bottom of the lake.

fang zicheng realized how cold-blooded he was.

after the movie, the two of them left the screening room in silence.

lu yinxi was thinking about her parents. when she was born, had her parents been as happy and excited as the documentary had recorded? her parents had passed away when she was very young. lu yinxi really couldn’t remember what her parents looked like.

at this moment, fang zicheng suddenly said, ” i want to tell you something. ”

lu yinxi stopped thinking and looked up at fang zicheng. ” tell me. ”

” i’m sick, ” fang zicheng said.

lu yinxi almost thought that fang zicheng was scolding himself.

just as she was about to ask fang zicheng what was wrong with him, he continued, ” i’ve been different from others since i was young. i can’t understand feelings, like sadness, excitement, sadness, sympathy …”

“i don’t understand your emotions, and i can’t feel your emotions, so i can’t resonate with you. in the medical field, this is called emotional deficiency.”

lu yinxi was stunned. “emotionless?” lu yinxi had heard of this disease before. as far as she knew, emotional loss was just like depression. it didn’t sound scary, but people with this disease had the highest suicide rate.

lu yinxi’s expression changed slightly. ” then you … ” she wanted to ask why he liked her since he had an emotional deficiency. she was afraid that she would hurt fang zicheng, so she hesitated.

fang zicheng replied,’other than my family, i’m only willing to be good to you. you may have forgotten, but we’ve known each other since we were young.”

lu yinxi was stunned.
