Chapter 303 Watching a Movie Together
In the following days, Lu Jinye continued to be busy with company matters, while people kept coming and going from his home.
This suited Wen Ni's wishes, so that the two of them wouldn't be left alone, which would be quite awkward!
When she has nothing to do, she goes to the open-air balcony to tend to the flowers and plants or read a book, enjoying these rare leisurely days!
"Miss Wenni, it's so cold, please wear more clothes!" Aunt Chen would come over every now and then to remind her. "And is your hand injury alright? Don't overexert yourself!"
"It's okay, it's almost fully recovered." Wen Ni squatted on the balcony, raised her arm, which was still wrapped in gauze, and shook it.
"Oh my, it's the young people who recover so quickly!" Aunt Chen exclaimed with a smile, and hurried over, "Are you moving them inside? Come on, let me help you!"
"Thank you, Aunt Chen."
"Don't mention it!"
They were squatting on the balcony, busy with their tasks.
Outside the glass door, Lu Jinye, who had been in meetings all day, finally had a moment to catch his breath and stood at the corner of the corridor.
He put one hand in his pocket, took a drag of his cigarette with the other, and stared intently at Wen Ni's retreating figure!
What has she been busy with these past few days?
"Turning around with flowerpots, scribbling on books, sneaking food from the kitchen, chatting on the phone with Tang Zi, discussing lyrics and music with An Xi, looking for Lin Yi, Young Master Jin Bai, and, and me, playing ranked matches in the Matrix together..." Qin Yuan's voice grew softer and softer as she reported.
Lu Jinye paused, his hand holding the cigarette still in his hand, and glanced at her sideways. "Her arm is still injured, and you still dare to let her type on the keyboard?"
"...Well, Miss Wen Ni said she can use one hand just fine, it won't affect our chances of winning first place this season..." Qin Yuan's eyes darted around nervously, and she quickly added, "Oh, right! Besides that, she also stays up late watching dramas!"
"Doesn't she never watch TV?" Lu Jinye exhaled a smoke ring.
"Mr. Lu, do you know what show she's watching?"
What show?
"The drama you starred in!" Qin Yuan chuckled.
Lu Jinye, cigarette dangling from his lips, stood still, raising an eyebrow. "You're quite observant. Did she say anything about how my acting was?"
"No, she peeked at it herself." Qin Yuan crossed her arms, looking smug. "But I got her account and found some of her comments!"
“Not bad, you’ve learned your lesson.” Lu Jinye held out a hand. “Let me see it.”
"Here! These are screenshots I took after risking my life to hack her video account!" Qin Yuan handed over his phone.
Lu Jinye swiped the screen a few times, his expression gradually freezing.
[System notification: You have chosen Lu Jinye x Cai Wenyou (CP)]
[Crazy Little Nini's comment: The two male leads are a perfect match.]
[Crazy Little Nini's comment: First time watching a drama, leaving a comment. The two male leads have more screen time, I like watching it.]
[Crazy Little Ni Ni's comment: The male lead stabbed the second male lead with a knife. Their love-hate relationship was so satisfying to watch.]
"..."
"Um, Mr. Lu, it's possible I hacked the wrong account!"
Qin Yuan felt that his phone was about to be destroyed.
With a gloomy face, Lu Jinye turned off the screen and threw the phone back into Qin Yuan's hand.
"Save me two movie tickets for tomorrow afternoon."
"Huh???" Qin Yuan's mouth dropped open. "But didn't you already have work scheduled for tomorrow afternoon? And there aren't any movies to watch at this time of year. The Lunar New Year films won't be released until the first day of the Lunar New Year!"
"Finish all the afternoon's work before noon."
Lu Jinye stubbed out his cigarette and turned around. "Let's make a movie together, 'The Vanished'."
"Okay..." Qin Yuan agreed, then realized what was happening and muttered to herself, "The Disappeared Him? Wasn't that a movie from two years ago? Starring Lu Ye, with Cai Wenyou in a cameo... But that movie's been out of theaters for ages and hasn't been re-released! Where am I supposed to buy tickets?!"
"Are you stupid?" Barron appeared out of nowhere, then slapped him again. "With money, what can't you do?"
“...That makes sense.” Qin Yuan rarely agreed.
The next afternoon.
After enjoying a lavish meal at the villa, Wen Ni was half-coaxed and half-dragged by Balen into a large MAX giant screen cinema.
As soon as Wen Ni entered the mall where the cinema was located, she felt a chill run down her spine!
The shopping mall, which should have been bustling with activity, was now deserted, with all the shops having their shutters drawn.
I took the elevator up to the sixth-floor movie theater, and there was no one there either…
It was so extreme that there weren't even any ticket checkers...
Wen Ni held the movie ticket that Baron had hastily stuffed into her hand, and glanced down at the movie title on the ticket stub: "The Vanished Him".
That's a great name.
Everyone in the entire mall disappeared completely!
I reckon Barron arranged for the area to be cleared out.
Thinking this, she reluctantly took a step and walked alone towards the largest IMAX immersive sound hall in the cinema.
After she sat down in the middle of the theater
The screen lit up, and the lights in the entire venue gradually dimmed!
"I wonder what kind of movie this is? Why did Lu Jinye insist that I watch it in the cinema? Can't I watch it on my phone?" Wen Ni muttered, holding the ticket stub between two fingers.
"This way of watching the movie will be better." A familiar voice sounded beside her, and a figure sat down next to her.
Black clothes, black pants, black hat, black sunglasses.
This is Lu Jinye's standard travel outfit!
He was also holding a handful of popcorn and a cup of cola in his hand.
She originally thought he wouldn't come, after all, given his status, it would be very inconvenient for him to travel!
"Tsai Wen-yu is actually in this movie?" Wen Ni saw the credits flashing by on the movie screen and recognized the familiar face. "You two have acted together quite a few times!"
"Some people always like to ride on my coattails." Lu Jinye raised his eyes sensitively, turned his face away with some displeasure, and said in a sinister tone, "He only had a cameo role in this movie, and he was just cannon fodder whom I killed with a single blow!"
He emphasized the last two words.
"Oh~" Sensing the hostility in his words, Wen Ni silently raised the corners of her lips before pointing to the movie screen, "The movie has started, don't spoil it for me."
"I strongly recommend that you watch the performance clip at 59 minutes and 30 seconds carefully. It has a lot of dramatic conflict and is worth watching!" Lu Jinye said and then fell silent.
He leaned back naturally, but his eyes didn't pay any attention to the big screen. Instead, he turned his head to look at Wen Ni's profile!
The light on the screen reflected her, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, sometimes frowning, sometimes thinking along with the plot, and he took in all her micro-expressions.
He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and smile along with her, not wanting to look away for even a moment!
Time passed by, and the movie became more and more exciting.
Wen Ni did indeed take it to heart.
Every time she saw Lu Jinye's face on the screen, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, "He was born to do this job!" Whether it was his superior looks or his outstanding acting skills, he was truly exceptional!
On the screen, Cai Wenyou's character reappeared, but this time he was killed instantly by Lu Jinye, who appeared behind him with a sinister face, after only a few seconds!
The knife was still dripping blood, and Lu Jinye's smile on the screen was so intense that even Wen Ni couldn't help but want to curse, "What a fucking pervert!"
But damn, he's so cool!
With this thought in mind, Wen Ni suddenly remembered what Lu Jinye had said before the movie started. She hesitated for a moment, then looked down at the time displayed on her phone. It was exactly the 59th minute of the movie.
"Lu Jinye, you specially invited me to the movie theater, it wasn't just to see this scene, was it?" Watching him kill Cai Wenyou in the movie, just how much does he hate Cai Wenyou?
Wen Ni found it rather amusing; what a childish kid!
After he finished speaking, he received no response from those around him for a long time.
She turned her head in confusion.
But the person who had gone to so much trouble to bring her to the movies was now asleep with his chin resting on his hand and his eyes closed.
