Chapter 36 The So-called Date
Xuanzhe's life was full of initiative and affirmative answers. He felt that Wen Shuang must like him very much, otherwise she wouldn't be so busy running around, booking seats and buying movie tickets. Wen Shuang didn't know this, otherwise she would definitely pull Xuanzhe's collar and shake him twice: "Wake up, I'm just worried that you're used to being served by others when you travel, and you'll become a third-level disabled person as soon as you open the app!"
Besides, Wen Shuang had just received some coupons from a certain group, so she had to make the best use of them.
The Western food they had for lunch was not very good, but Wen Shuang liked the unlimited steak. It was a bit like synthetic meat, but cooked to perfection. Xuan Zhe ate a piece, then wiped his mouth with a tissue modestly and spit out the last piece that he couldn't swallow.
Perhaps in this one-sided pursuit, his requirements for Wen Shuang were too high. Dating requires money. How much is Wen Shuang's monthly salary? Xuan Zhe thought for a moment and "pa pa" gave Wen Shuang, who was feasting on the other side, two labels: pitiful!
"I'll give you a raise starting next month." Xuanzhe took a sip of lemon tea and found it too sweet, so he asked a passing waiter to replace it with boiled water.
Wen Shuang was hit by the sudden pie and saw stars: "Ah" Why did they mention salary increase out of the blue?
"No, why would I get a salary increase for no apparent reason?" Wen Shuang said uneasily, "I feel unworthy of it."
Xuanzhe thought that this man, a prodigal son who had turned over a new leaf, would definitely not accept charity, so he made up a lie: "Helping me translate some things is a bonus."
Wen Shuang smiled happily: "No problem!"
After the meal, Wen Shuangjie paid the bill, which was more than two hundred yuan, plus a discount of one hundred and fifty yuan. The young man was very happy as if he had gotten a huge bargain, but he didn't know that Xuanzhe was already very worried about his living conditions.
Forgive the domineering president who is out of touch with reality. He is not pretending to be cool, he really doesn’t understand.
The cinema wasn't far from here. The two men walked over to help themselves to their food. Their striking appearance attracted many glances from passersby. Two little girls holding ice cream cones passed by and said, "Hey! That girl in white looks like Wen Shuang."
"Really? Really?"
Wen Shuang heard it with her sharp ears, and before the other party could react, she grabbed Xuan Zhe's wrist and rushed to the stairs. Fortunately, Xuan Zhe was strong overall, otherwise he would have fallen today.
Xuanzhe didn't blame Wen Shuang. He thought to himself that he really liked me and didn't abandon me when I was in trouble.
"Didn't Zhu Lian teach you how to disguise yourself when going out?" Xuanzhe asked.
"I still need to pretend," Wen Shuang panted, took out her phone, scanned the code to redeem the ticket, "I'm just an unknown person."
Xuan Zhe felt a little embarrassed, thinking that this person really didn't care about his situation online at all. Zhu Lian opened a Weibo account under the name of Wen Shuang, and his fans increased dramatically every day. Yesterday morning, Cao Nanyu mentioned it and said that the number of fans had exceeded three million. What a concept! The total length of the footage before and after was no more than half an hour. Even if it was just for sex, the data was still quite scary.
It was also strange. When Wen Shuang went to buy Coke and popcorn, Xuan Zhe's phone dinged twice. It was Wen Shuang's Weibo that was updated. "He" followed Jiang Ning. This was the first official interaction between this CP since the hype. Almost half a minute later, Jiang Ning followed back.
[Oh my god! Those two men have officially announced it!]
The huge words seemed to be poking into President Xuan's eyes.
Xuanzhe frowned fiercely, tightened his grip on the phone, and immediately sent a WeChat message to Zhu Lian: What are you doing all this nonsense in the name of Wen Shuang?
When Zhu Lian received the message, he was teaching a newcomer a lesson, spitting saliva everywhere. Then he stood up straight, as if Xuan Zhe was right in front of him. Then his face was full of smiles, just like those girls who are obsessed with couples nowadays. After sobbing in his heart for a while, Zhu Lian typed: Mr. Xuan, this has been agreed with Jiang Ning and the program crew. After all, Wen Shuang still has to participate in the recording next week.
Xuanzhe: I will let Wen Shuang manage Weibo later.
Then this will become one of Xuanzhe's most regretful decisions!
Zhu Lian was so smart that she naturally knew why President Xuan suddenly cue her. Jealous men are the cutest!
"Coming, coming." Wen Shuang asked Xuanzhe to help hold the popcorn while she ran straight to the ticket inspection area with two cups of Coke, urging, "Hurry up, there are only three minutes left."
Compared to the interstellar movie next door, the horror genre was obviously less popular. When Wen Shuang and the others entered, there were slightly more people sitting in the back. They found two seats in the middle of the fifth row and were very satisfied to see that there was no one around.
"Put this on." Wen Shuang took out a pair of black glasses from his pocket and handed them to Xuan Zhe.
Xuanzhe reacted, "3D"
"Yeah." Wen Shuang winked cunningly: "You are not scared anymore, are you?"
"What are you thinking about?" Xuanzhe put it on.
The film starts off eerie. Wen Shuang couldn't drink the ice cola she bought because it was hot, but after a few minutes, she couldn't drink it. Xuan Zhe seemed quite contented, and his sipping movements with the straw were particularly handsome. Suddenly, he made a grimace, and some female hero behind him shouted with such force that Wen Shuang shuddered.
Xuanzhe leaned closer, his voice low and deep, and he could hear a faint smile, "Scared."
"No!" Wen Shuang refused to admit it, "I watched horror movies every day in college!" It was just that while watching them, she needed to open her phone and "Macabaka" for a while to make sure she was still in this warm world.
This was the first time for Xuanzhe. With his elite education, there was no such thing as watching horror movies to relax him. However, he had a high standard and did not believe in these things at all. After the initial shock wore off, he felt that the ghost faces were too ugly and disgusting.
As the plot progressed, while others were frightened half to death by the ghost faces and terrifying special effects, Xuanzhe was already able to calmly analyze the plot. He leaned closer again and whispered, "Do you know who is behind this?"
Wen Shuang trembled: "Ghost"
"..." Xuanzhe was helpless: "Where are the man-made ghosts in domestic horror movies?"
"Who is it?"
"It's the most inconspicuous old lady who is in charge of the fire. It's impossible for people to see unnatural scenes when they are awake. Moreover, so many people saw it together. It's likely that they were hallucinating. The old lady who is in charge of the fire must have tampered with their diet because she prepared three meals a day. The limp is just a trick of the weak. It was said before that her son died a long time ago, and Master Chen beat a teenager to death ten years ago. You should connect the dots," Xuanzhe suggested.
Wen Shuang: "..." Your analysis is really
So angry!
This is the same feeling as having your story spoiled!
Wen Shuang took a deep breath, "Mr. Xuan, aren't you afraid at all? This...Ahhh!!!" A sudden ghost face made Wen Shuang and the heroine behind her shout together, and then the whole screening room was screaming.
Xuanzhe stared at the movie screen for two seconds. He only saw the mouth moving but heard no sound. Guess he was deaf.
Xuanzhe leaned to the other side, too lazy to pay attention to these lunatics.
The final secret revealed was exactly the same as what Xuanzhe said, which was the revenge of the old lady who was in charge of the fire.
"But that's not right." Wen Shuang suddenly came over and asked in a low voice, "How do you explain the young lady's inconsistent personality?"
Xuanzhe has recovered his hearing recently and said lazily, "Dual personality."
As soon as the psychologist appeared, Wen Shuang suddenly felt bored. What a rubbish the movie was! Xuan Zhe had guessed it all.
Even so, Wen Shuang had a layer of cold sweat on his back when he came out of the screening room. Even though he knew it was man-made, the scene was rendered very well, and it was impossible not to be scared.
Xuanzhe glanced at the young man and suddenly said, "Actually, I think this movie has its merits. The housekeeper was hanged, and the neighbors heard the sound of his toes hitting the wall. If you lived alone, just imagine... Oh, I forgot you live alone, so I won't say anymore."
Wen Shuang: "..." You've finished speaking!
Wen Shuang felt terrible after being reminded by Xuanzhe. Xuanzhe treated her to dinner that night. The theme was the aquatic life from the last time they met Dilanda, and the great white shark under his feet was still swimming freely. Wen Shuang complained bitterly, wondering whose date was like his. First he was scared by a horror movie, and then he had to tremble in fear on the glass.
This kind of occasion is Xuanzhe's domain, so naturally he would meet some acquaintances. Wen Shuang was startled when she saw Lei Wenxu, and when she saw Yu Feng behind him, she was even more stunned.
Yu Feng was very different from the last time they met. His former gloom and decadence had disappeared, and the return of his career made him cheerful and energetic. Dressed in a black suit, he looked no less impressive standing next to Lei Wenxu.
"Mr. Xuan." Lei Wenxu had been getting along well with Jiang Suqing recently, so naturally he could talk to Xuan Zhe. He looked at Xuan Zhe calmly. It was the first time he saw a man in this look, dressed casually, looking several years younger. Then he looked at Wen Shuang, whose style matched his, and smiled: "You...did I disturb you?"
"No." Xuanzhe said calmly.
Yu Feng's face looked a little ugly. He stood aside and gave Wen Shuang a look. Wen Shuang understood and went to find him.
Xuanzhe and Lei Wenxu saw clearly the little actions of the two, but did not point it out.
"You!" Yu Feng wanted to curse but worried that the occasion was not right. "Are you in your old habit again? This time you're going for something big. Do you know who Xuan Zhe is? Be careful that there won't be even a corpse left after this!" Yu Feng thought that Wen Shuang had hooked up with Xuan Zhe by any means necessary.
Wen Shuang understood what Yu Feng meant, and her heart warmed slightly. She explained in a low voice: "It's not what you think..."
Lei Wenxu glanced over there and said, "So, President Xuan is taking his subordinates to dinner."
Xuan Zhe said calmly: "No, Wen Shuang is pursuing me." He always said it over and over again in a nonchalant manner, not caring whether it was shocking or not.
Lei Wenxu: “…” He lives up to his last name.
Yu Feng wanted to say something, but Wen Shuang accidentally saw a crack in the glass under Xuan Zhe's feet. The crack then expanded and spread little by little, and snowflakes burst! And the white shark was swimming towards them with its tail swinging.
"Xuanzhe!" Wen Shuang suddenly roared, and felt the blood in his body run cold! He rushed forward regardless of everything and pushed Xuanzhe away at the first moment.
The violent movement frightened Lei Wenxu, who was confused as to what was going on, and he stepped back repeatedly.
A cannonball flew into his arms, and Xuanzhe caught it steadily. He found that the young man was always startled recently, and he looked around but saw nothing.
"What's wrong?" Xuanzhe patted Wen Shuang's shoulder gently, as if afraid of disturbing him.
"It's cracked!" Wen Shuang said with difficulty: "The floor is cracked!"
Xuanzhe: “…”
"That's a special effect." Xuanzhe said in a deep voice, with an inexplicable soothing tone.
Wen Shuang paused and turned back stiffly. The floor was as smooth as new, without any cracks at all.
Does he like me so much? Xuanzhe's eyes moved slightly.
Wen Shuang lost her parents and didn't dare to look at Yu Feng and the others' expressions. She instinctively looked for a safe place and buried her head back in Xuan Zhe's arms. She said sullenly, "My heart will fail sooner or later." I've been through so much today!
Xuanzhe smiled and said, "I'm here, I can't be scrapped."
Lei Wenxu narrowed his eyes and looked at the scene, his tone melancholy, "Mr. Yu, let's eat somewhere else."
Yu Feng also looked embarrassed, "I'm full, how about drinking directly?"
Lei Wenxu: "Good suggestion."
