    Lucy replied without even looking at him, “I’m popping popcorn.”


    Matthew looked confused. “Popcorn? You can make popcorn in the microwave?”


    Lucy turned to look at him in shock. “Why can’t you make popcorn in the microwave?”


    The two of them stared at each other, puzzled by the differences in their understanding.


    When Matthew did not understand something, he would always try to -figure it out. That was the


    principle he lived by. However, seeing as Lucy had no intention of answering his question, he simply


    waited with Lucy beside the microwave.


    If someone were toe in, they would be greeted by the couple waiting by the microwave like two


    obedient dogs.


    Three minutes went by quickly. Lucy took out the paper bag from the microwave, but it was a little


    hot, so she quickly put it down and pinched her earlobes.


    Matthew worriedly blew on her fingers after she took out the popcorn.


    “Wifey, if you want popcorn, just ask someone to make some for you. Why do you have to do it


    yourself? Look at you now. You’ve burned your fingers.”


    Lucy smiled at Matthew. “Matt, are you stupid? Don’t you remember? I told you that I don’t like


    having helpers around, so you sent them all

    home.”


    Only then did Matthew remember that he did indeed do that. He looked at Lucy disapprovingly and


    said, “In that case, you should tell

    me next time. I’ll do it for you.”


    Lucy remembered thest time he cooked for her and started to feel all warm inside.


    “Alright, I’ll tell you next time. I know it’s just microwavable popcorn, but you should try it.”


    Then, she opened the bag full of freshly popped corn.


    Matthew tasted it out of curiosity and was pleasantly surprised to find out that it did not taste much


    different from the ones sold


    outside.


    “I didn’t know popcorn could be made in the microwave. I always thought you needed a popcorn


    machine.”


    Lucy happily stuffed her mouth with popcorn. “There’s microwavable popcorn. You just have to pop


    it in the microwave for three minutes It’s considered junk food, but it’s really convenient.”


    She nodded with satisfaction. “Okay, we can watch the movie now.”


    When she took Matthew’s hand to go to the home cinema, he said in surprise, “You made popcorn


    just to watch the movie?”


    Lucy said matter–of–factly, “How can you not have popcorn when watching a movie? Even if you


    don’t have popcorn, you should still have some kind of snack. It doesn’t feel right to me if I don’t


    have something to chew on.”


    Matthew had a warm and fuzzy feeling inside. He happily followed her into the home cinema, and


    they cuddled together on the couch. while enjoying the movie and the popcorn.


    It was a romanticedy film. There were not many extravagant scenes, but the plot was


    ridiculously melodramatic.


    While watching, Lucyined to Matthew, “What kind of plot is


    that? Why can’t they just live their lives peacefully?”


    Matthew rarely watched romanticedies, so he could not help but be engrossed in it. After


    hearing herint, he subconsciously retorted, “How do you know that these things won’t


    happen in real life? It’s not entirely impossible.”


    The two people bickered and argued endlessly.


    Life itself was a movie. One would not expect it, but oftentimes, the reality could be even more


    dramatic than in the movies.
