Chapter 304 Saying One Thing and Doing Another
[Master Lu has been busy with the company's affairs lately, working very late every day, but he still thinks about you. He finally has some free time today, so he wanted to take you out for a walk to relax!]
On the way here, in the car, Baron said this to her.
Wen Ni was lost in thought, staring quietly at Lu Jinye's handsome and peaceful sleeping face amidst the eerie movie background music...
"Why is Miss Wen Ni staring at our Master Lu?"
Qin Yuan, who was guarding the exit, turned his head and looked at Lu, the protagonist who was constantly slashing people on the screen. He felt the hairs on his body stand on end.
"What was Mr. Lu thinking? Choosing a movie about a psychopathic killer for a date!"
“People who work in the arts tend to have somewhat abnormal thought processes.” Baron surprisingly agreed with Qin Yuan’s words.
"But it's alright. In my opinion, Miss Wen Ni's thought process isn't exactly normal either. The two of them are a perfect match!" Qin Yuan whispered.
"That makes sense!" Baron nodded vigorously. "Little Qin Yuan, you're absolutely right!"
It's rare that the two of them could actually reach a consensus on the same thing!
Inside the stadium
Lu Jinye's arm, which was supporting his cheek, swayed slightly, and he gradually deviated from his course, falling towards the side where Wen Ni was sitting.
Without even thinking, Wen Ni, who had been watching him, leaned her shoulder against him, so that his drooping head rested on her shoulder!
His breathing was steady; he was still sleeping soundly.
Long eyelashes, a straight nose, and thin lips slightly parted—quiet, obedient, and heartwarming!
[Could you try liking me?]
Lu Jinye's words echoed in Wen Ni's mind once again.
A tingling sensation, like an electric shock, ran through her heart!
He quickly looked away and turned his head to look at the movie screen, trying to appear calm!
She couldn't concentrate on what was happening in the movie anymore.
She only knew
Whether on screen or in real life, Lu Jinye is such a dazzling presence that no one in this world could dislike him!
The lights in the movie theater came on after the movie ended.
Seeing Lu Jinye's sleepy-eyed appearance after waking up, Wen Ni pursed her lips and smiled to herself.
With one hand holding the unfinished popcorn, and the other hand, wrapped in bandages, she picked up a hat and placed it on Lu Jinye's head, her voice flat and emotionless, "Awake? Let's go!"
"..." Lu Jinye frowned and straightened his hat.
Watching Wen Ni's retreating figure as she walked down the steps, he wiped his face in frustration and chased after her!
"Hmm... Was the movie good?"
Overall, the plot is good and the acting is good.
"You watched the 59-minute segment too?" Lu Jinye asked somewhat cautiously.
He just hopes that Wen Ni will stop pairing him up with Cai Gou!
"I saw it." Wen Ni nodded with her back to him, paused slightly, and then said, "The scene where you proposed to the female supporting character was also very well acted; you clearly put your heart into it!"
"Huh? Proposing to the female supporting character? But the scene at 59 minutes was clearly Cai Wenyou's scene..."
Lu Jinye was taken aback at first, then his face lit up with delight, and he quickened his pace to keep up with her. "So you like watching scenes with a lot of romance? I'll have Baron go back and see if there are any more..."
"No need for that."
Wen Ni turned around and slapped the popcorn bucket into Lu Jinye's arms, the aroma of popping popcorn filling his face.
Then Wen Ni turned around expressionlessly and walked out of the cinema lobby!
"What's wrong?" Lu Jinye was a little confused.
"Mr. Lu, no offense, but who wants to watch your romantic drama?" Baron walked up to Qin Yuan with his arm around her shoulder, looking at her with a disdainful expression. "Have you been too busy lately? Have you lost your mind to say something so unromantic?!"
"Hahaha! I think you're the one who's lost your mind, aren't you, Baron?" Qin Yuan couldn't help but chuckle, pointing at Baron. "How dare you talk to Master Lu like that! Want your salary docked?"
"I was just speaking without thinking because I genuinely cared about Master Lu, so he won't hold it against me!" Baron immediately smiled and smoothed things over. "Right, Master Lu?"
"right."
"See? I told you Mr. Lu has a broad mind!"
"but……"
Lu Jinye uttered two words slowly, then turned to look at them, "Why didn't you come out and remind me sooner?"
"Huh??" Barron's smile froze, three question marks appearing on his forehead.
"Deduct money."
After uttering those two cold words, Lu Jinye tossed the popcorn bucket into their hands and chased after Wen Ni in the direction she had left without looking back.
"No. Wait a minute, I didn't say anything, so why am I being penalized?" Qin Yuan was on the verge of tears, feeling utterly wronged!
Baron grabbed a handful of popcorn and stuffed it into Qin Yuan's mouth. "Brothers share the good times and the bad! Eat up, it's free, eat as much as you can, it's a bonus!"
"Damn it!" Qin Yuan cried, grabbing a handful of popcorn. "You dog Baron! I'll never forgive you!"
"..." It's already like this, so what can we do?
The group took the elevator to the cinema's underground parking garage. On the way back, Wen Ni and Lu Jinye rode in the same car, with Baron driving.
During this time, Lu Jinye glanced at her several times, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
"Do you have something to say to me?" Wen Ni noticed him keenly.
"Are you angry?" Lu Jinye leaned closer to her, one hand on the back seat.
His tone was low but sincere: "I didn't fall asleep on purpose while watching the movie. It's just that my work schedule has been quite full these past few days, and I haven't had much time to rest. I felt very safe next to you, and I fell asleep without realizing it. As for the romantic scenes in the movie, I acted exactly as the script said. Even if it seemed genuine, it was all fake and doesn't count!"
"Why are you explaining this to me?" Wen Ni suppressed the corners of her lips and turned her head away from him. "How close you are to people on and off screen is your work and your private life. You don't need to explain it to anyone."
"I haven't had any ambiguous relationships with anyone off-screen." Lu Jinye craned his neck, trying to gauge her expression.
"What are you going to say to me? I'm not interested." Wen Ni kept her head turned to look out the window, her tone indifferent.
"Really not interested?" he asked.
"certainly."
"But I think... I smell a strong scent of vinegar?" Lu Jinye suddenly leaned forward, his nose resting on Wen Ni's neck, and took a deep breath!
The light, almost imperceptible touch made Wen Ni shrink back, tickling him. She then raised her hand and pushed against his chest, turning her head to glare at him playfully. "What are you doing? What's with all this jealousy? Don't overthink things here!"
"You woman, you're such a hypocrite." He pressed his advantage, grabbing her wrist and his thin lips were just an inch away from touching her earlobe.
The hot breath he exhaled almost burned half of Wen Ni's face!
She appeared calm on the surface, but her mind was in complete turmoil!
She didn't know what was wrong with her.
Ever since Lu Jinye broke the ice that day, she has subconsciously paid attention to his words and actions, watched the dramas he acted in, and noticed everyone he came into contact with.
Now, just seeing an intimate scene in a movie and feeling the intense love conveyed by the emotions makes her feel uncomfortable!
It's like having something that rightfully belongs to you taken away by someone else.
But how could Lu Jinye belong to her?
She clearly shouldn't have such thoughts.
When did she start to get so deeply involved that she couldn't even distinguish between truth and falsehood, or recognize herself anymore?
"I'm just a little curious about some things," she blurted out, barely managing to extricate herself from the quagmire of her confusion.
"What are you curious about?" He finally released her reddened ears and stared intently at her cheeks!
"Isn't it said that art imitates life? So, how many girls have you proposed to?"
