The dim light from the screen danced on Xia Wan's face, while Cui Ziqi's peripheral vision was drawn to the couple embracing in front of him.
The girl was held in the boy's arms, and the boy kept comforting her while wearing a satisfied smile on his face, as if he was being needed.
Cui Ziqi couldn't help but think of Xia Wan throwing herself into his arms and acting coquettishly, and his ears suddenly felt hot.
He looked at the obvious joyful smile on Xia Wan's face.
He couldn't help but let out a soft hum.
"I don't have that kind of perverse sense of humor."
"How can this be called perverse humor?" A piercing scream came from the surrounding speakers, and Xia Wan had no choice but to move closer to Cui Ziqi while holding her popcorn.
"That's called romance, and it's also a way of expressing love. Look at that couple in front of us. The girl was eating popcorn with great relish while watching the horror scenes, which clearly shows she watches these kinds of movies quite often. On the other hand, her boyfriend didn't look too good from the moment he entered the theater. He must have been scared. The girl deliberately pretended to be scared to show her boyfriend that she was needed, which made him feel needed and reduced his fear of the movie. At the same time, she also took this opportunity to strengthen their relationship."
Cui Ziqi glanced disdainfully at the satisfied smile on the man's face in front of her.
He was scared and needed a woman to comfort him.
It's no use!
Just then, Xia Wan's voice, though low, was still clear and bright.
Do you ever feel this way? If I were afraid to run into your arms, would you feel needed and happy?
Cui Ziqi felt his ears go numb.
So cheesy.
"I'm not that bored."
Xia Wan pouted, knowing that this little pervert would spoil the mood.
It's not easy for a psychopath with emotional deprivation to suddenly develop normal human thinking.
"But you're quite observant; how long did you stare at that person?"
"They were sitting two rows in front of us. I saw them by chance and just observed them briefly."
“I remember your information showed that you studied finance in college.”
With just a quick observation, one can analyze the psychological activities of two people through their behavior.
She seems to be studying psychology.
Xia Wan understood Cui Ziqi's doubts and smiled, "I major in finance and enjoy psychology in my spare time. I know a little bit about it."
Before she transmigrated into the book, she majored in psychology in college.
The movie was filled with screams and shouts, but the two of them completely lost their interest in watching it.
Cui Ziqi looked at Xia Wan thoughtfully and said, "So you usually analyze my inner thoughts?"
That's why it's so easy to manipulate him?
Like today?
He signed the contract without asking why, and let her boss his people around.
The reason he unconsciously listens to her is actually because she is subconsciously controlling him.
The screen light shone on his face, and he lowered his eyelids slightly, a fleeting cold glint in his eyes.
Xia Wan, clutching popcorn, leaned back in her chair with a rather helpless expression.
"I wish I could guess what you're thinking. I'm just an amateur psychology enthusiast. I can observe simple psychological emotions, but I really can't see through someone like you who buries their emotions so deeply."
On the screen, a zombie leaps from a cascading ravine, almost jumping off the screen.
Xia Wan's hand holding the popcorn tightened slightly, and the sweat on her forehead gleamed with a chilling light under the flickering movie screen.
[Host, he seems to have believed it; the favorability rating and the level of corruption have stabilized.]
Xia Wan turned to look at Cui Ziqi with feigned composure. Seeing that he was staring at her intently, she suppressed her fear and gave him a smile.
Just like I don't understand your current behavior.
Xia Wan said in a low voice.
A look of confusion crossed Cui Ziqi's brows. "What's wrong with me?"
Xia Wan leaned on the armrest between the seats, slightly raising her eyes to lock onto Cui Ziqi's gaze.
"Just now at the dock, you were clearly curious about why I knew about your mother, and you were wary of me because of it, but you still kept your promise and took me to see a movie first. You didn't mention what just happened, as if you trusted me a lot, but you shouldn't have trusted me, right?"
Cui Ziqi's heart skipped a beat.
That's right, that's exactly it.
He finally understood where the inexplicable awkwardness in his heart had come from since he arrived at the movie theater.
He should suspect Xia Wan.
He should immediately interrogate Xia Wan about why she knows so much about his affairs.
He should be wary of Xia Wan's motives for approaching him without any reason, posing as his savior.
But he ignored all of this.
Or perhaps he didn't care deep down why she knew; it was a kind of escapist mentality, an escape from any kind of deception he couldn't face.
"Or perhaps..."
Xia Wan's voice flowed like a gentle stream into his ears, "You actually already have feelings for me?"
Cui Ziqi's pupils contracted sharply, and his fists, resting on his knees, clenched tightly, his nails digging into the newly scabbed flesh.
He could even see the panicked look in Xia Wantong's eyes, as pathetic and embarrassed as a stray dog.
The sound effects that foreshadow the next terrifying scene in the movie gradually build to a climax.
"ah!"
The intense screams seemed to extend from the screen into the theater, enveloping the entire cinema in an atmosphere of terror.
Amidst the screams, Cui Ziqi stood up, gave Xia Wan a deep look, and turned to leave.
Why did you leave?
Xia Wan paused for a second, then got up and chased after him, still clutching the popcorn.
After exiting the audience area, turn right and walk through a dimly lit short corridor to exit the theater.
