Chapter 52 Chapter 52 Who to go to the movies with
Jingjiang Dingtian Department Store, third floor.
The mall adopts a circular atrium design. Standing at the entrance of the cinema, Xing Kui can see the shops and people on the upper and lower floors, including many men's products stores.
She had actually thought about repaying Li Chengchuan's favor, such as buying him a gift or something, but that day Li Chengchuan clearly said "no thanks".
Generally speaking, you can't really not use something just because someone says "no". But after Jiang Yuming heard this, he told her very firmly: Don't do that. Li Chengchuan is a man of his word. Not listening to him will only make him angry.
The credibility of Jiang Yuming's words was questionable. Xing Kui went to consult Zhou Jing again with suspicion, and Zhou Jing said the same thing: Li Chengchuan never wastes time beating around the bush, and what he says is what he means.
It seems that this neighbor and landlord really doesn't need her to repay the favor.
Xing Kui withdrew her gaze from the men's goods store. The east and west walls of the cinema were lined with posters of the movies currently showing. There were action movies with multiple men in black fighting, comedies with the lead actors grinning... and the romantic film she had bought a ticket for, "Elegy of Love."
Xu Ye said he would come over, and she was waiting for him.
The poster of "The Elegy of Love" shows the heroine hugging a man and looking at another man behind him.
There is a slogan in the lower middle: I am waiting to have my soul touched.
A cup of milk tea was handed to her. The wheat-colored hand holding the milk tea looked so powerful that Xing Kui was afraid that Xu Ye would crush the milk tea. She looked at Xu Ye who she had been waiting for.
It's April, almost May. Today's high is 26 degrees Celsius. Xu Ye is tall and wearing a cobalt blue down jacket. A down jacket?!
The fluffy down jacket with a stand-up collar covered his face and concealed his body shape. He wore a hat, a mask, and puffy cotton pants. He was fully armed, just like a mistress who came to have an affair.
Xing Kui was stunned for three seconds, unable to believe what she saw: "Aren't you hot?"
The answer was obvious. The loose hair pressed down by the hat stuck to Xu Ye's forehead, wet, and the exposed skin on his face was all shiny.
It was hot, but what else could she do? This was Li Chengchuan's shopping mall. Didn't Xing Kui know Li Chengchuan's identity? How could she dare to ask him out here?
In order to prevent Li Chengchuan from hearing about his meeting with Xing Kui, Xu Ye even borrowed clothes from his roommate. He usually doesn't wear cobalt blue.
"Blue looks good on you."
Then he can wear it normally, ah no, Xu Ye stuffed the milk tea to Xing Kui: "Here."
Xing Kui noticed that he only bought one cup: "Thank you, don't you want to drink?"
There is a "G·PROMISE" logo on the milk tea cup, indicating that it comes from Jin Nuoyan. Even without looking at the label, you can tell from the appearance that this is Jin Nuoyan's flagship product: "Dream in the Sea of Clouds".
It is a sea salt cheesecake milk tea, which costs more than 30 yuan per cup. It is said to be very delicious. Xing Kui wanted to try it before but was deterred by the price. Unexpectedly, fate brought it to her in this form.
"I don't drink. I'm controlling my sugar intake." Xu Ye, who was covered tightly, said this. It was obvious that he wanted to put his hands in his pockets coolly, but the pockets of his down jacket were really too hot. His fingers rubbed on the edge of the pockets several times and finally dropped to the side of his legs.
"You're controlling your sugar intake at such a young age?" Xing Kui rarely meddles in other people's affairs. She was curious about Xu Ye's strange behavior of wearing a down jacket in a 26-degree Celsius temperature, but she didn't ask too many questions.
However, she had to pay attention to things related to the fake relationship. That day, she heard what Coach Xu Ye said. Xu Ye was extremely anxious about his athletic performance.
This might be the reason for his sugar control, but he ate cold drinks very quickly when she treated him to them yesterday. How strange! "The movie is about to start, how about we talk about it while we walk—"
Xu Ye: "I didn't come here to—"
"Xing Kui!" A stern, low voice belonging to Li Chengchuan came from the right of Xing Kui and Xu Ye.
Xu Ye's face suddenly changed, and Xing Kui's scalp tingled. Why was her neighbor and landlord Li Chengchuan here!
She turned her head and could vaguely see Li Chengchuan coming towards her. There was a wall between them, so she couldn't see clearly. Couldn't see clearly?
Xing Kui's mind lit up. She thought that from Li Chengchuan's perspective, he could see her complete side profile, the incomplete poster and the incomplete side profile of Xu Ye.
She immediately winked at Xu Ye: You, hide behind the poster.
Xu Ye obediently stepped back, turned in the blind spot of Li Chengchuan's sight, and turned behind the poster of "Love Song".
In the poster, the heroine is hugging a man and looking at another man.
Outside the poster, Xing Kui is looking at Li Chengchuan, with Xu Ye hiding behind him.
"Who was that just now?" Li Chengchuan walked to one meter in front of Xing Kui and stopped. Thanks to Xu Ye's outrageous appearance, he did not recognize his brother from a distance.
Xing Kui was so nervous that she clenched her milk tea. Then, she caught the inspiration and raised the milk tea: "Delivery boy!"
Is he the delivery guy, or the owner of the second movie ticket in Xing Kui's hand?
Oh no! Xu Ye looked up from behind the poster. Was Xing Kui really unaware that Li Chengchuan owned this mall? Brother Li could easily verify that he wasn't a delivery man by checking the surveillance footage!
It's even worse - when Brother Li checked the cinema's surveillance footage, he could see that he was hiding here right now!
Xu Ye was so annoyed that his intestines turned green. His first reaction was to listen to Xing Kui's words, and he forgot this point. It was strange. How could Xing Kui not know Li Ge's identity? Didn't they almost get a marriage certificate?
In front of the poster, the clueless Xing Kui was still laughing: "What a coincidence, landlord, why are you here? Are you coming to see a movie too? Which one are you watching?"
Li Chengchuan stared at her with his dark pupils, his gaze on her face always cold and gloomy. She felt so guilty that she couldn't continue, but she had to bite the bullet and speak.
After a while, Li Chengchuan's thin lips twitched, a smile that wasn't a happy one. His sharp eyes lowered as he gazed at the two movie tickets she was clutching. "Who are you going to see?"
The pause button was pressed on Xing Kui's open mouth.
After seeing the poster, Xu Ye also held his breath.
Li Chengchuan looked at Xing Kui who was unable to answer, and curled up his fingers hanging on the edge of his suit pants.
Whether the tall man just now was a delivery man, he could find out the answer by checking the surveillance camera outside the cinema.
He didn't even have to go to the monitoring room. He could just stand here and make a phone call. Within a minute, he could verify whether Xing Kui had lied to him.
It's just that he doesn't want to check.
As long as he didn't check, Xing Kui didn't lie to him.
"I'm going to see a movie with you!" Suddenly, Xing Kui, a clever little girl, came up with a clever idea and shouted in a high and soft voice. Her two blunt, round and clear eyes looked at Li Chengchuan with sparkling sincerity.
lie!
Earlier, Li Chengchuan received news that Xing Kui had bought two movie tickets. Chen Quan said that maybe Xing Kui wanted to invite him to see a movie to express her gratitude for the previous incident. To be honest, Li Chengchuan didn't think this was possible.
But he still couldn't help but look forward to it. As a result, he didn't receive any contact from Xing Kui on his phone for several hours. Now the movie is about to start, and Xing Kui said that she wanted to invite him to watch a movie. Can he believe it?
The person Xing Kui was really dating was most likely the one who had just escaped. Who was that person? Did Zhou Jing slip past his radar and return home? Or was there someone else approaching Xing?
Leng Mianmian's five fingers grasped Li Chengchuan's wrist, sealing his ability to think. Xing Kui took two steps closer to him, looking up at her clean face, and said sincerely: "Actually, I have always wanted to thank you for rushing over to save me that day.
But you said you didn't need to repay me, so I bought the movie tickets and was in a dilemma. I didn't know whether I should tell you that I didn't expect to meet you in the cinema. It was really destined. Would you, would you like to watch a movie with me?
I am willing, for richer or poorer, in sickness and health... until the end of my life...
Looking at Li Chengchuan's face, it was so sincere, like sweet mountain spring water, making people want to drink it again and again. Maybe Xing Kui didn't lie to him.
He was just overthinking it.
How could he doubt her when she said he and she were destined to be together!
Li Chengchuan's dark eyes reflected his beloved, and he believed in her blindly and unconditionally. He was so nervous that he clenched his back teeth. Xing Kui held his wrist, and the touch of their skin caused an electric current that shook his whole body, making his other limbs powerless.
After a while, he controlled his superior jaw and nodded downward.
"That's great! Let's go!" Xing Kui pulled Li Chengchuan and walked quickly towards the ticket gate. She didn't expect the landlord to be so easy to fool. If she tricked him into not having money to pay the rent this month, would he not have to pay it?
It was just a thought, she would never do anything evil. Xing Kui walked quickly, anxious to take Li Chengchuan away from Xu Ye's hiding place, and almost ran.
"Walk slowly and be careful with your legs." Li Chengchuan followed behind, controlling his pace to match Xing Kui's so that she wouldn't feel uncomfortable because of his fast or slow pace. His tightly pursed lips concealed a doting smile.
The two checked their tickets and walked into the dark cinema together. Behind the poster of "Love Song" that was taller than an adult man, Xu Ye stood straight and looked at them, his brown eyes unblinking and his heart beating steadily.
Brother Li took possession of the movie ticket that belonged to him, his.
He walked out from behind the poster, almost driven by instinct, raised the camera of his mobile phone to scan the QR code of the mini program on the wall of the cinema, and clicked on the movie that was about to open.
The best seats are gone, but there are still empty seats in the last row.
"I guess he's buying movie tickets."
Across the atrium from the entrance of the cinema on the third floor on the west side, in the shop on the fourth floor on the east side, Jiang Yuming held up his mobile phone and filmed the scene on the next floor opposite. His legs were longer than the resin models displayed in the shop.
With her upturned eyes narrowed and her lips curled in a playful smile, her face, which could be called a masterpiece of Nuwa's life, captivated everyone and made the male star on the poster on the glass wall of the shop look like an ordinary servant.
"You're boring." Zhou Jing's voice.
"Am I bored? I don't know who's the one who answered my call at 4am to watch me livestream him."
On the mobile phone screen, Zhou Jing was looking at the camera, with the background being a dim blue interior at four in the morning.
Jiang Yuming said sarcastically, "I want you to see with your own eyes. You once plotted against Xu Ye and cut off his heartbeat, and now you are personally promoting Xu Ye to become a strong rival. You are confident that you can defeat him in the future, but that's not certain."
"What about you?"
Zhou Jing coldly asked his good brother, "You are right next to Kuikui, but you don't hinder her. Are you less confident than me? You are so shameless to be the third one, but you don't even consider whether Kuikui, a decent and law-abiding person, can accept being the third one."
Jiang Yuming's face froze for a moment, then returned to normal after a few breaths: "No matter what, we have a consensus, don't we?"
They have a common enemy, Li Chengchuan. If it weren't for fate, Li Chengchuan, who almost went to the Civil Affairs Bureau with Xing Kui, might have been more threatening than anyone else.
Neither Zhou Jing nor Jiang Yuming dared to gamble on the severity of the threat. No matter what, they must not let Xing Kui's gaze fall on Li Chengchuan again.
In the last row of IMAX Hall No. 3, Xu Ye was sitting with a frown staring at the tops of the heads of a man and a woman in the center of the third row. He put his hands in the pockets of his cobalt blue down jacket, took out his vibrating cell phone, and glanced at it casually.
The hall was dark. A movie had already begun playing on the large screen in front. The heroine, having just woken up, wandered into the bathroom and uttered the first line of the entire film in a roar: "Chen Weihan! I've told you so many times, remember to wipe the toilet seat if you pee on it!"
The sound was very loud, and the plot close to life made many audiences in the cinema laugh. People around Xu Ye were laughing, but Xu Ye did not react at all, as if no sound entered his ear canal, and his dark brown pupils stared fixedly at the screen of his mobile phone.
He just received two messages.
All from Jiang Yuming, one: [Xing Kui doesn't know Li Chengchuan, she lost her memory in the car accident.]
2: [Thank me (winking eye emoji)]
The movie played rapidly in Xu Ye's pupils, faster and faster.
The heroine meets her soul mate...
Arguing with my current boyfriend...
Crying and howling in the rain in the storm...
The male protagonist is about to kiss but not yet...
"The accident that befell me changed my life, and I was completely unaware of it."
"I'm always smiling, so do you think I'm not in pain? I'm in so much pain that I'm trying so hard to smile."
"I'm in so much pain, can you hold me?"
"Hey, Xu Ye."
A clean face slowly became clear in Xu Ye's sight. It was pale due to the lack of energy and blood, like the most basic white cream cake. Xing Kui's soft voice brought back Xu Ye's soul and focused his eyes.
It turned out that the movie had ended unknowingly and Li Chengchuan had left. Xing Kui found him in the last row, followed Li Chengchuan and then turned back, bent down, stood in front of him, and called his name softly.
Xing Kui looked at Xu Ye in surprise. This young, leopard-like college student was in tears at this moment.
She wanted to speak, her tongue had just moved, but her lips had not yet opened when Xu Ye suddenly grabbed her shoulders and hugged her.
The hot and fluffy down jacket pressed against her shoulders. Xing Kui was so shocked that she forgot to blink. The same hot breath sprinkled on her neck, and after a few seconds, it suddenly withdrew along with her body.
Xu Ye placed his hands on her shoulders, tears welling on his cheeks, and said solemnly, "Let's date."
