The inside cinema lights has been dim. All cast, managers and staff walk their way out of the cinema. One of the staff who headed out first parked the car in front of the entrance door so the cast and managers don’t have to walk all the way to the parking lot

It will turn to midnight in less than 5 minutes. All decides to head straight back to the hotel. Li chen and Angelababy drove out first followed by Ya wen and Zhengkai. Yan lin, Lucas and Yuqi still have to wait for Yuqi’s manager who needed to use the restroom first

The later it gets, the colder the wind it becomes outside, “After you?” Yan lin insist Yuqi to go wait inside the car to get some warmth. He then give hand signals to Lucas telling him to follow Yuqi while he waits with his manager and Lucas’s outside for Yuqi’s manager

Because Yuqi enters first, she went and sat at the back right side seat. Lucas who's behind her take the left side. Yuqi can’t help herself from yawning back and forth ever since she stepped out of the movie studio. It’s an indication she might fall asleep before Yan lin’s manager can even start the car

Having a sudden flashback to the moment when they headed back from the music studio, Lucas takes off his sweater and gives them to Yuqi, “Here” he says, “so you don’t bump your head like the last time” he smiles

“Thank you” she accepts his grey color sweater bundling it making it into a small pillow for her head to lean on, “Wake me up when we arrive yeah?” she asked leaning her head sideways

“Depends on my mood” He let out a huff with a little smirk

“Really?” Yuqi sigh heavily reaching out for Lucas’s right arm to give a good pinching but got dodge by him quickly

“Soft hand you got here Yuqi” he still holding on to it

Yuqi lift her head back and turns to him, “Can I have my hand back please?” she says pulling it back

“Just trying to block a deadly pinch” Lucas letting loose his grip

Yuqi turns and leans back her head to Lucas’s sweater, “Good blocking” she then shuts her eyes, “I'm going to sleep now. Don’t try to kiss me”

“Song yuci..” He gasped, “are you flirting?” he deepens his voice

“Kidding Lucas, Kidding” she sighed once more before finally falling asleep

3 minutes of waiting. Yan lin and Lucas’s manager finally see Yuqi’s manager coming towards their way, “It’s kinda creepy when they dim out the lights” Yuqi’s manager pants from taking little runs from the restroom all the way to the entrance door, “feels like a gang of zombies can jump out at any moment from one of the doors”

“Zombies?” Lucas’s manager titters then teases, “how old are you?”

“Sorry for that” the cinema employee apologizes, “Basic rules from the cinema management. Must dim all lights at 11PM”

“Oh no no. don’t apologize. I should be the one too for exaggerating such thing” Yuqi’s manager replied

****

Driving to the cinema needed 20 minutes, driving back only took around 15 minutes. Yan lin’s manager successfully found and took a short cut along the way. As soon as the car arrives at the hotel, Yan lin’s manager drive straight to the parking garage and parked in a position like it was before. Close to the two sedan’s that was used by the others

Lucas who stayed awake throughout the way, wakes up Yuqi like she requested earlier. He grabs her left shoulder, “we’re here” and shakes it gently

Yan lin’s manager turns off the engine car and catches up with Yan lin, Lucas’s and Yuqi’s manager who is already waiting outside. While Lucas waits for Yuqi to go out first

Still feeling like she only regain half of her consciousness back from her quick sleep, Yuqi takes Lucas’s sweater with her and stumbles, again, for trying to get up from where she sits. Not wanting Yuqi to fall forward on her knees, Lucas grabs on to her shoulders, “be careful” he says making her fall back beside him only 5 inch apart from where he stayed sitting

Not aware of their distance, Yuqi gets back up, “Thanks” she says to Lucas and catches up with the others leaving Lucas who still sitting not really sure what he just felt seconds ago

“Lucas. Come on” his manager exclaims from one of the passenger doors

“Oh sorry” Lucas heard his manager calling and not wanting to not overthink about it
