When I was in Reply 1988

Chapter 824 Thousand Paper Cranes

He squinted his sleepy eyes and saw Paula curled up on the pillow.

Strands of hair lay scattered on the pillowcase, like silk threads in an ink painting.

Her nose twitched slightly with her breathing, and the neckline of her pajamas was askew, revealing half of her collarbone.

Dreaming?
I slept alone last night.

Li Renyong suddenly opened his eyes wide, propped himself up, and the mattress creaked.

what's the situation?
Why is Paula here?

"Wake up, what are you doing here?"

Paula didn't open her eyes, but burrowed deeper into the blankets like a cat, her knees hitting his thighs.

Hot and slippery, it's a familiar feeling.

"You two get up and eat."

Huili's voice came from the living room.

Paula opened her eyes, exuding a lazy aura.

She's sexy yet youthful, and very cute.

He smiled brightly when he saw Li Renyong.

Li Renyong asked, "What are you doing here? When did you arrive?"

Paula said, "I came back too late yesterday and was afraid of waking them up, so I came to your house. Your house is big, so it won't wake Aunt Huili. What, don't you want me to come over?"

It's great to have two homes; you can sleep wherever you want.

Li Renyong pointed to the door and said, "My mom probably already knew. She was referring to 'you guys...'"

Paula threw back the covers and said, "Let's go out to eat. I need to sleep for a while after we eat. There's nothing much going on today."

After saying that, he opened his arms.

Does this mean he wants a hug?
Are we really this bold in our expressions these days?
Little did he know that Paula had been taking exams recently, and her mental and physical state had been constantly tense.

After the exam, I felt completely relaxed.

Deep down, I long to be by the side of the person I love.

Otherwise, why would I have come here in the middle of the night?

Li Renyong froze for half a second, then pressed one knee against the edge of the bed and pulled her into his arms, his hand supporting the back of her head.

Do you need help putting on your shoes?

Paula sat on the edge of the bed, swinging her legs.

"want."

So cute.

You should know that Paula has a bad temper when she wakes up.

How come everything has changed now?

Could it be because Huili woke her up?

After putting on their shoes, the two went to the living room.

Huili had no doubts about Paula's presence there, nor did she ask any questions.

Breakfast was the same as usual: white rice porridge and perilla leaf pickles.

During the meal, Huili, as usual, asked about her plans after the exam.

Paula said she would spend her time at the exam center from now on, and work part-time at the prosecutor's office on weekends.

Strictly speaking, I can graduate this December as long as I complete the courses, thesis, and defense.

Before graduation, students will need to take the bar exam one last time.

After finishing his meal, Li Renyong returned to his bedroom and packed his schoolbag.

Today is the school anniversary, and everyone must wear the school uniform.

Paula helped him put on his coat, then turned him around and nodded in satisfaction.

"This looks much better."

Li Renyong picked up his schoolbag and said, "I'm leaving."

Paula waved her hand, went to bed, lifted the covers, and prepared to continue sleeping.

Li Renyong pushed open the door, and a cold wind blew in.

He saw Zhengfeng sitting cross-legged on the low kang (a heated brick bed), holding a glass bottle filled with colorful origami cranes.

It looks like they've been sitting there for quite a while.

Li Renyong slung his backpack over his shoulder and called out, "Good morning, Zhengfeng."

Upon hearing the sound, Zhengfeng slowly approached, his face full of hesitation.

Li Renyong laughed and said, "Just say what you want to say."

Zhengfeng said slowly, "Do you have any movie tickets left? I'd like to take some people to see it."

Li Renyong asked in bewilderment, "Didn't Deok-sun give you some last time? Didn't she give you any?" On the premiere day of "Joint Security Area," he gave each of his friends in the alley one copy, which was more than enough.

Zhengfeng shook his head and said, "I gave it to them, but I want to take other people to see it."

I don't even need to think, I know who this person is.

Li Renyong teased, "Oh~~~ Zhengfeng is in love. Do you want me to take you to the company? Maybe we can see the lead actor."

Zhengfeng quickly waved his hand: "No need, movie tickets are enough, preferably seats together."

Li Renyong said, "Okay, leave it to me. I'll bring it over tonight."

Tomorrow is Xianzhong Festival, which is also the premiere day.

Where can I get movie tickets now?
They're all sold out.

However, if you can't get a regular movie ticket, there's always the screening room in the movie theater.

Li Renyong and Zhao Junnan of CGV Cinemas are old acquaintances; a word from them is enough.

Brother Zhengfeng is so romantic; watching a movie in the screening room has a unique charm.

As long as you give prior notice and don't mess with the projection equipment, it will work perfectly.

Just then, Deok-sun came out yawning.

"Ah Yong, good morning, Brother Zhengfeng."

The two responded, "Good morning, Deok-sun."

Zhengfeng, holding the glass bottle, said, "This is for your good friend; it's a gift from me."

Deok-sun took it in a daze, and almost dropped it, probably because she wasn't feeling well.

"Get it."

Jung-bong was a little scared, wondering if it would be safe to have Deok-sun deliver it.

Deok-sun said earnestly, "Don't worry, I definitely won't fall this time."

Zhengfeng nodded and said, "Then I'll go back."

Li Renyong watched his retreating figure, then turned around and said, "Is it that heavy? It's all paper inside."

Deok-sun pouted and said, "Why don't you try it?"

Li Renyong said, "I'm not taking it. Do you want me to take you to school this morning? Paula came back last night and has a car now."

Deok-sun said, "There are still some people who haven't come out yet, let's wait a while."

Li Renyong smiled but did not answer.

Giving one is the same as giving two.

While waiting for others, Li Renyong glanced at Deok-sun a few times.

Perhaps because it was the school anniversary, she was wearing a girls' high school uniform on top and pantyhose on the bottom.

Deok-sun's pantyhose had a hole in them before, so she bought two more pairs.

Li Renyong made a quick comparison in his mind and realized that neither Paula's legs were as long nor as slender.

Soon, Jung-hwan came out of his house, his schoolbag bulging.

His eyes narrowed when he saw the glass bottle in Deok-sun's hand.

Perhaps thinking of something, he laughed again.

"Good morning, Jung-hwan."

The group greeted each other.

Li Renyong said sarcastically, "The person you're waiting for has arrived. Do you want to leave now?"

Deok-sun waved her little hand: "Let's go."

Jung-hwan hesitated for a moment.

There are two seats left on the bus. Should we wait for Sunwoo and Yoo Dong-ryong?

Before he could think for long, Deok-sun pulled him away.

The three got into the car, and Deok-sun and the others sat in the back seat, talking quietly.

Li Renyong stepped on the gas and slowly drove out of the alley.

Deok-sun placed the glass bottle at her feet and held it between her legs: "What's in your backpack? It's so bulging."

Jung-hwan's face turned slightly red.

He slowly took out a glass bottle and said, "This is for you."

Same glass bottle.

Jung-bong's glass bottle was full of origami cranes, while Jung-hwan's was less than half full.

Deok-sun opened her eyes wide, her gaze filled with disbelief.

"You expect me to carry two such big glass bottles to school?"
