As soon as he said it, Guangyou wanted to slap himself.

What was I just saying?

With such a quick reaction, will Ai think she's that kind of person?

Thinking of this, Guangyou quickly explained, "It's not what you think, please don't misunderstand."

"What are you thinking?" Ai seemed not to understand Kousuke's words, and teased him with a look of disdain, "You look quite serious on the outside, but all you think about is this kind of thing..."

As she spoke, Ai made a few mouth gestures to Kousuke, without making a sound, but Kousuke could understand them.

If he only heard that sentence, Guangyou would think that this girl was cursing him.

However, after seeing the playful expression on Ai's face, which seemed both angry and amused, Kōyū realized that she was just joking.

"You've misunderstood," Kōyū explained to himself. "I never thought about those things..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ai interrupted, "Oh? So that means I'm not good enough for you to think about those things?"

"...."

Upon hearing this, Guangyou fell silent instantly.

Is the narrative changing so quickly?

So, is it possible to think about it or not?

A woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea; the ancients were right!

Ai noticed all of his reactions, and she really wanted to know how Kousuke would respond to that.

"Squeak~"

Just then, the bus back to Tokyo slowly pulled up in front of the station.

"Phew..." Guangyou secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The car arrived just in time, saving him from the predicament.

"Consider yourself lucky." Ai said to Kōyū as she walked towards the car. "I'll let you off this time. Get in the car first."

"Should I thank you?" Kwang-yu looked up at the bus stopped in front of him and asked, "Or should I thank this bus for arriving in time?"

Ai, who had already boarded the bus, stopped walking further in, glanced at Kōyū, and said, "It's up to you, but aren't you getting on the bus?"

"How could that be?" Kōyū walked up to Ai and said, "We agreed to go see a movie, and I won't go back on my word. Come on, let's go inside and find some seats."

As he spoke, Guangyou walked towards the back seats of the bus. Uncle Maoli was also on the bus, and it was best to avoid things like holding hands.

Anyway, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

Following behind Kousuke, Ai looked at his back and murmured, "I should be thanking you."

...

Aside from being stuck in traffic for almost an hour, the journey was quite smooth.

By the time the group returned to the office, it was past lunchtime.

Upon returning to the agency, Kwang-woo immediately went to the third floor to change his clothes; he was still wearing his hiking gear.

This outfit is okay for everyday wear, but it's obviously not suitable for him on a date.

After changing his clothes, Guangyou greeted Uncle Mori, who was waiting for the variety show on the second floor, saying, "Uncle, I won't be back for dinner tonight."

Before Uncle Mori could respond, Kōyū went downstairs to Ai, who was waiting for him, and smiled, "Let's go, I'll take you back to change your clothes, and then we'll go see a movie."

"Mm," Ai nodded in response.

Chatting and laughing all the way, the two quickly arrived back at Professor Agasa's house. Ai went to change her clothes, while Kousuke waited outside.

He thought he would have to wait for more than half an hour, since the girl needed to put on makeup and such, but he only waited for ten minutes.

Ai was wearing a black dress with a red coat over it, and her face was lightly made up, which was actually just a light-colored lipstick.

This makeup look is practically considered bare-faced for a girl.

"Let's go." Ai glanced at Kousuke, who was lost in thought, and asked with a smile, "Have you decided which movie theater to go to?"

This is another point that Guangyou can't understand. Logically speaking, this kind of movie shouldn't be very popular. There are plenty of classic movies, and it's not their turn to be re-released.

Even if it were to be re-released, there probably wouldn't be that many theaters showing it, but reality slapped Kōyū in the face.

On his way back to the agency, Kwang-yu checked on his phone and found that 90% of the cinemas in the area would be re-screening the movie.

"Let's go to the same place as last time," Kōyū said, naturally taking Ai's hand. "It's only a ten-minute walk from here."

"good."

...

When the two arrived at the cinema, there was still more than half an hour before the movie started.

Originally, Kōyū planned to take Ai to have lunch and then go shopping, but traffic jams delayed them a lot.

They hadn't had lunch yet, so after buying the tickets, Kōyū took Ai to a nearby restaurant and they ate a tonkatsu (fried pork cutlet) rice bowl.

Both are fried pork cutlet rice bowls, but Mrs. Tamagawa's are so much better than this one, they're worlds apart.

The fried pork cutlets here have too much batter, making them a bit mushy, and they weren't marinated, so the flavor didn't penetrate.

However, it's cheap, you can get a serving for 500 yen.

After finishing lunch, Guangyou and Xiaoai returned to the movie theater to prepare for ticket inspection and entry. There were still five minutes before the movie started.

The two entered the screening room, and Guangyou noticed that there were fewer people than last time, probably because of the theater, but there were still quite a few. Looking around, at least half of the rooms were occupied.

Most of them were men who wore glasses, and judging from their hair volume, most of them had science backgrounds.

From the entrance to his seat, Guangyou heard no fewer than ten people complaining, which could be summarized as, "Why not use a good holiday to rest, but instead come to the cinema to watch this kind of movie?"
