Gabriel walked closer to her and noticed that she kept staring at him as if she was trying to confirm something. “Why are you looking at me like that?” asked he.
“I’ve seen you here before.” she blurted out.
Gabriel frowned slightly.
Knowing that he would not believe her, she described the situation. “You came to the movies with a very beautiful girl.”
Gabriel gave a soft hum and passed the popcorn to her. He then glanced at his watch. “It’s almost time. Let’s go in.”
The drink that he had just bought was a little hot, so held it for her, just like a considerate and qualified boyfriend.
As soon as the movie started, the lights went off. It was so dark that nothing could be seen except for the lights on the big screen.
The female lead of the movie was played by Jocelyn White. It was a fantasy movie. Serenity hugged her popcorn and ate it while watching it. Occasionally, she would feed some to Gabriel.
Gabriel had been holding the hot drink in his hand the entire time. Eating popcorn made her thirsty, and every few minutes, he would bring the hot drink to her mouth. She would take a sip from his hand though her eyes were glued to the big screen, watching it with great interest.
The film was one hour and twenty minutes long so it was only nine o’clock when they left the cinema. Gabriel went to get his car while she waited at the same spot.
A few minutes later, the car stopped in front of her. She opened the door and sat in before putting on her seatbelt.
The car didn’t start immediately. Gabriel looked ahead as if he was ruminating about something. She turned her head to look at him. “What’s wrong?”
“I had a girlfriend when I was in university,” said Gabriel suddenly.
Serenity looked at him blankly. She did not know why he would mention this.
She had seen half of the photo in his study, so she knew that he had a girlfriend in the past.
“You said you saw me at the cinema. It should be true.” Sensing her gaze, Gabriel looked back at her. His deep eyes were calm. “1 accompanied her to watch a movie once.”
Serenity did not say anything, letting him continue.
“Everyone has a past,” said Gabriel slowly. “I’m no exception.”
“Why are you telling me all this?” asked she, looking at him blankly.
“I told you because 1 didn’t want you to guess wildly,” said he.
Serenity hesitated for a moment. Then, she pursed her lips and asked, “Then, do you still love her?”
Gabriel’s brows were calm, his voice was faint. “I have you now. Moreover, it has already been six years. So, you don’t have to worry.”
They were fine until now as the atmosphere became heavier when they talked about this topic. She switched it to something else. “Where are we going next?”
“Don’t worry, I’ve got something else lined up for you.” Gabriel started the engine.
When the car stopped at the entrance of Culpor University, she looked at him in surprise. When she saw him get out of the car, she followed him. “What are we doing here?”
In the past, she had been so desperate to get into Culpor University, all for John Grant. So she was no stranger to this place. The camphor tree outside the school gate was still there and it seemed to be much thicker than three years ago. Even the guards at the gate had not changed.
“Should we go in?” asked she.
Gabriel held her hand and walked towards the food street near the school.
“Maybe next time. It’s already late today.”
It was a Friday and many of the students around were those who boarded at the university. There were all kinds of food stalls on both sides so the smell was mixer. It was not very pleasant.
However, Serenity missed this atmosphere very much. It was as if she had returned to the year when she was nineteen years old..
