Chapter 132 Are you out of your mind?
It's an animated film...
Although it's based on real people, the main character is a dog, and there are also several cats.
No wonder Qin Ce said he didn't know what movie it was, and Qiao Xing doesn't know either.
You could call it an anime, but it's actually filmed with live-action footage; you could call it a drama, but the main characters are animals.
Qiao Xing glanced at the man beside her, wanting to ask him why he wanted to buy the movie.
But she held back, because she sensed that Qin Ce wasn't in a good mood.
Qiao Xing rubbed the tip of his nose and focused on watching the movie. Actually, it was quite awkward. The animals that were the main characters weren't 3D modeled; they were real animals filmed with post-production dubbing.
The director may have wanted to make a comedy, but the plot isn't funny at all.
The ending was intended to be emotional, but the buildup in the beginning was insufficient, so it failed to evoke any emotion.
The movie is two hours long, and there were originally seven or eight people, but three of them left halfway through.
Even after the movie ended, Qiao Xing still didn't know what the movie was trying to express.
She glanced at Qin Ce sheepishly.
Qin Ce's face darkened; he couldn't tell Qiao Xing that he had also been deceived.
The people in the trailer are clearly real people, but when the two are dating, those animals cause trouble and lead to a lot of hilarious accidents.
When I got to the movie theater, I found out that the plot in the trailer was the only scene featuring that couple, and they weren't even the main characters.
The two walked out of the screening room in silence, the atmosphere somewhat heavy.
Not wanting to hurt his feelings, Qiao Xing lied and said, "The movie was pretty good."
Qin Ce glanced at her. "Really?"
"Yes, those animals are very cute."
Qin Ce fell silent. He had been thinking about it since last night, but reality had dealt him a heavy blow.
Successfully wasted two hours.
Instead of warming up their relationship, it made the atmosphere even more awkward.
"Let's eat." Qin Ce didn't want to recall the plot of the movie; he didn't believe that such a thing could be made to launder money.
Qiao Xing nodded. She hadn't even had breakfast before coming to see the movie with him, and she was indeed hungry.
"Let's go to the hospital after we finish eating."
"I'll go." Qin Ce had no expectations for today's date anymore and would rather do something more important.
"Then I'll go with you."
"Need not."
He refused decisively, giving Qiao Xing no chance to discuss it. Perhaps because his tone was too cold, Qiao Xing swallowed the words that were about to come out.
Qiao Xing had no idea what he was thinking. He was fine while watching the movie, but something was wrong when he came out.
Perhaps this movie holds some important meaning for him?
There were restaurants in the mall, and Qin Ce chose one that looked crowded, thinking that with so many people, there was less chance of something going wrong.
"You like hot pot too?" Qiao Xing was a little surprised. She had wanted to eat hot pot for a long time, but she just didn't have the time.
Qin Ce paused, glancing at the surrounding tables, and sure enough, they were all hot pot restaurants.
He glanced at Qiao Xing again and saw that she was smiling, with a hint of expectation in her eyes. He nodded silently.
"Um."
“That’s great. You wouldn’t eat the dishes I cooked before that had chili peppers in them. I thought you didn’t like spicy food.”
"..."
Qiao Xing quickly followed the waiter to an empty seat and sat down. She picked up her phone to scan the QR code to order.
She looked up and asked Qin Ce, "Should we order the hot pot broth medium spicy or extra spicy?"
"...I'm glad you like it."
"Then let's order medium spicy, too spicy is bad for the stomach," Qiao Xing said, ordering a spicy hot pot.
She also ordered some vegetarian dishes and several plates of sliced beef, which were her favorites.
Qin Ce always had that casual attitude, so Qiao Xing ordered casually, ordering him pig brains, duck intestines, and beef.
Qin Ce's face paled as he heard the names of the dishes she ordered. Of all the dishes, she had managed to select exactly the ones he hated most.
It's easy to imagine that this meal will be the most painful meal of his life.
In the end, he couldn't resist and scanned the code to order two servings of vegetables for himself.
Before long, the dishes they ordered were served. Qin Ce looked at the huge lump of chili peppers in the pot, and his composure was almost about to crumble.
Qiao Xing was very attentive, constantly putting food into his bowl, saying, "The pig brain is ready, here you go."
Everyone around her liked to eat this, but Qiao Xing had never dared to try it, so she ordered a separate serving for Qin Ce.
Qin Ce tried his best to calm himself down, raising his hand to stop the food she was offering him. "I can do it myself."
"It's nothing, just consider it a thank you for what happened last night," Qiao Xing said, placing another piece of duck intestine into his bowl.
Qin Ce pursed his lips, picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of duck intestine, and hesitated several times before he could bring himself to eat it.
So he put down the duck intestines and picked up the beef instead, um... spicy beef.
He took a bite and drank two glasses of water.
When Qiao Xing said "medium spicy," he wasn't referring to just any kind of spiciness; he meant the kind that could kill you.
After finishing the hotpot meal, Qin Ce's face was deathly pale. When he stepped outside the mall and the light shone on him, his whiteness became even more frightening.
Qiao Xing noticed it too, and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Your face is so pale, are you feeling unwell?"
Qin Ce shook his head slightly, "It's nothing, I just got hot from eating hot pot. You take a taxi home first, I'll go to the hospital."
Are you really okay?
His forehead was covered in a lot of cold sweat, and he looked like he might collapse at any moment.
"I'm really fine." Qin Ce said in a calm voice, hailing a taxi. "You can go home first."
Qiao Xing was pushed into the car by him. She leaned against the car window and looked back at him.
He had already turned and walked towards the parking lot.
Qin Ce sat in the car, and his usually cold and stern face finally broke down, revealing a look of pain.
He clutched his stomach, his hands trembling as he started the car, gripped the steering wheel, drove out of the parking lot, and headed straight for the hospital.
He wasn't going to see Lin Yu; he was going to the emergency room.
Upon examination, a stomach ulcer and damage to the gastric mucosa were found.
The doctor looked at his X-ray and asked, "Do you have a stomach problem?"
"Um."
"You have stomach problems and you still eat such spicy food? Are you trying to kill yourself? Do you also smoke and drink?"
Qin Ce pursed his lips, remained silent, and tacitly agreed.
The doctor was suddenly speechless. "Well, young people are willful. I've met several like you before. No matter how I try to persuade them, they won't listen. You'll understand in the future."
The doctor typed away on the keyboard, prescribing several bottles of IV fluids for him. "Go get the medicine, and go for the IV infusion on the 17th. You'll need to have it for at least five days. Remember to come every day, with at least eight hours between each infusion."
Thank you.
Qin Ce propped himself up on the chair, took the prescription from the doctor, and went out.
Sitting in the taxi, Qiao Xing couldn't stop thinking about his pale face from earlier, and how he seemed to be forcing himself to speak.
She was still a little worried.
Qiao Xing took out his phone to call Qin Ce, but his phone was switched off.
Qiao Xing originally wanted to call Yang Han, but found that she didn't have his number, but she did have Jiang Wang's number.
She messaged Jiang Wang and asked for Yang Han's phone number.
Jiang Wang didn't hesitate and readily handed her the phone.
Qiao Xing dialed Yang Han's number, and Yang Han's voice came from the other end of the line.
Hello, who is this?
"Hello, Yang Han, this is Qiao Xing."
"Wow! Sister-in-law?" Yang Han's tone suddenly changed, instantly shifting from serious to playful. "Sister-in-law, why did you suddenly decide to call me? Is there something you need my help with?"
