I smiled as I listened to Janet speak, not saying much. Cecil was also very quiet. His gaze was gentle. It was a kind of gentleness that I couldn't describe.
When ordering dishes, Cecil carefully asked if I had any dietary restrictions. But before I could say anything, Janet answered Cecil's question for me.
Actually, what Janet said was not what I liked. It was just that every time I ate with her, she would order whatever she liked to eat, and I would accommodate her. That was why Janet thought that she knew my food preferences.
I liked spicy food, but Janet didn't like them at all. I liked to eat meat, but Janet only ate chicken and fish. I liked food with a stronger flavor, but Janet only ate vegetables and lightly cooked food.
I didn't want to cause any trouble in front of others, so I didn't say anything and just went along with it.
We finished a meal in a harmonious atmosphere. I didn't eat much, but Janet was very satisfied with this meal.
Just as we walked out of the restaurant, Janet gave Cecil a signal with her eyes.
Then, she said to us, "I have something else to do. You two can have a walk together or do something else."
Looking at Janet's receding figure, I felt a bit anxious. I subconsciously looked at Cecil, who smiled at me kindly. He suggested watching a movie.
When I looked at Cecil's handsome face and warm smile, my heart suddenly skipped a beat. I said to myself in my heart, Maybe he'll be a good choice.
There was a small episode when Cecil and I were choosing a movie. He asked me what type of movie I wanted to watch, and I said I didn't mind. I let him decide.
It was a normal conversation, but Cecil was surprised. I saw him smile lightly and say, "You and Janet are quite different."
I thought to myself, Is he implying that I'm not an independent girl? But he doesn't seem like he means it.
In the end, we chose an action movie that Cecil liked. I didn't usually come to the cinema to watch movies, and I didn't have any particular preferences, so it was fine for me.
At least, one of us could watch what he liked, and that was good enough.
The movie started. It was a big Hollywood production with impressive scenes. But to be honest, I usually watched this kind of movie just for fun and didn't have much of a feeling about it.
