Chapter 16.5 (2/2)
“Nothing. What could have happened? What are you doing?”
“Watching DVD. 窈窈美眉 (pinyin – yao yao mei mei). What about you?”
“Looking at the moon.”
Yang Wei Qi laughed over the phone. “Have you seen the G.o.ddess of the moon sister, Chang Er?”
“No. Only see the b.u.mpy surface of the moon. I think Chang Er has not place up there to live.”
“Maybe she lives on the back of the moon. The one we can’t see. Do you use a telescope? How do you see the moon?”
“Without a telescope, I can imagine.” Zheng Xie move the phone to the other ear: “You are watching the movie ‘She Is All That’? You actually will watch youth movie. But the movie is so old.”
She is All That is a 1999 American teen romantic comedy, a modern adaption of the 1964 My Fair Lady movie. It is one of the most popular teen movie in the 1990s which reached No. 1 in the box office within first week of release. For more information: She Is All That Movie
“Watching an old teen movie may seem superficial and light but it somewhat is naïve and yet distinctive.” The playful Yang Wei Qi say via the telephone. “Zheng Xie, you also have watched this movie? Does not seem to be your type.”
“I have not watched it. Just heard about it.” Zheng Xie say. “Did the movie have a good ending?”
“Of course. To watch teen movie is to relax. Who would want to watch a sad ending?”
“Oh!” Zheng Xie swallow the remaining words that he wanted to say. He continue to look up at the moon, trying to determine the speed of the movement.
They did not hang up the phone. He is waiting for Yang Wei Qi to say goodbye. After a while, Yang Wei Qi said: “Zheng Xie, this upcoming National Day holiday, if you have got nothing to do, we go slightly further away for a short holiday.”
“Good. What do you want to go?”
“No matter where. As long as it is not crowded. We go and celebrate.”
“What is there to celebrate?”
“Celebrated that we have known each other for a period of time. We have actually known each other for a month. I sometimes felt that it is very magical.”
