"..." Adrian Zhekova asked with a dark expression, "How long have you been holding it in to be like this?"
The little guy was clutching his stomach, looking desperate, so he must have been holding it for quite a while.
At least half an hour, maybe even an hour.
The little guy clutched his stomach, stomping his feet with anxiety, "I drank too much Coke! I wanted to pee during the movie, but didn't want to miss the exciting parts, so I kept holding it in."
Thinking that he had already held it in for more than 20 minutes, he couldn't give up now, so he held it for another 20 minutes.
As it became more and more difficult, he glanced at the time.
There was still about half an hour left before the movie would end.
He'd endured this long already, he couldn't give up now.
So he gritted his teeth and kept holding on.
As a result, he persisted until the movie was over.
The little guy finally relaxed.
Now that he was relaxed, it was even harder to hold it in.
