While Gu Xinghe was pondering what Teresa was dealing with...
"Sir, is this seat next to you taken? May I sit here?"
A familiar voice rang in Gu Xinghe's ears.
He turned his head and saw Teresa, who had invited him to the theater.
At that moment, she was wearing a large top hat.
Just like when he first met Theresa, his face was obscured by the brim of his hat.
The light brown sun hat is more suitable for everyday wear than the one I wore when we last met.
Top hats are undoubtedly more formal in a theater setting right now.
The wide-brimmed women's hat is off-white overall, with only a black outline around the brim.
The hatband is decorated with a black bow ribbon.
The simple style of the dress accentuated Teresa's elegant demeanor.
At this moment, only Gu Xinghe, who was extremely close to her, could clearly see her face from the angle he was looking up from his seat.
"certainly."
The tickets to the Golden Apple Theater were a gift from Teresa to Gu Xinghe.
The seating arrangement was naturally pre-arranged, and the two were well aware of it.
But neither side chose to expose the truth at this time.
Upon hearing this, a sweet smile appeared on the girl's face.
Today she wore a pure white long dress in the same color scheme as her hat.
The layers of tulle skirt do not look heavy; in fact, they have a light and airy feel to them.
The first layer of the long dress features a hollowed-out lace pattern, imprinted with the pattern of the Saint Cecilia flower.
Apart from a top hat, Theresa wore no other jewelry.
If he had to add an accessory, Gu Xinghe felt that a lily would be the most suitable to adorn her ear.
At this point, after agreeing, Gu Xinghe lowered the seat for Theresa.
Theresa also lifted her white gauze dress and sat down.
Due to the theater's internal structure, in order for audiences on the second and third floors to hear the performance on stage.
The theater's interior design amplifies every sound a speaker makes.
Therefore, at this moment, every audience member who had already entered was speaking very softly, almost as if whispering.
How was my gift?
Theresa leaned close to Gu Xinghe's left ear and whispered in his ear, almost in a breath.
Although it was as faint as a breath, the sound transmission was close to bone conduction, allowing Gu Xinghe to hear the pauses and pronunciations of the sentence very clearly.
The scorching breath sprayed onto my earlobes, turning into a weak electric current that flowed from my earlobes to the back of my neck and then spread down my spine.
A subtle yet real tingling and itchy sensation spread throughout the body.
For a moment, Gu Xinghe felt his thoughts drifting away.
When it came to gifts, he didn't know exactly what Teresa was referring to.
Are they tickets to the Golden Apple Theater?
Are they the same two unprofessional bodyguards from last time who were later clearly under mind control?
But just as Gu Xinghe was wondering how to answer.
"It turned red."
As Teresa spoke, she gently kneaded Gu Xinghe's earlobe with her fingertips.
Despite having undergone several enhancements to his physical attributes, he still finds it difficult to control the body's natural physiological responses.
Men's earlobes are obviously not as soft as women's.
"The gift is... theater tickets?"
Gu Xinghe's voice was somewhat hoarse.
"Speaking of which, could this be considered a date?"
Gu Xinghe suddenly braced his left hand on the armrest of the seat between the two of them, and stroked Theresa's face with his right thumb.
Theresa was clearly startled by his words and his sudden action.
Their faces were now very close, their moist breaths mingling on each other's faces.
"W-what happened?"
There was a pause and hesitation in Theresa's voice.
"Your face turned red too."
Gu Xinghe nodded and continued.
"It's even."
Upon hearing this, Theresa's expression was a mixture of amusement and exasperation.
How can this be considered even?
"Speaking of which, have you changed your bodyguards again?"
I don't think I've seen the person who just notified me before.
Gu Xinghe looked at the people sitting around him and Teresa who clearly didn't seem to be normal spectators.
These "ordinary audience members" gradually appeared and sat down after Teresa took her seat.
Although their expressions seemed normal, it was noticeable that their eyes kept falling on him.
At the same time, their figures occasionally blocked the view of those around them who were looking at Gu Xinghe and Theresa.
Besides the bodyguards all dressed in black uniforms, there were clearly quite a few plainclothes officers protecting Theresa at this time.
And it seems that it is because they are all protected by others.
At this moment, apart from Gu Xinghe, no one recognized Teresa's identity, and no one bothered them.
"Yes, after all, I said I wouldn't let anyone bother us again."
In this sense, although the number of guards has increased compared to the previous two.
But compared to the previous protection that was closer to surveillance, Theresa's statement seems to imply that these are people who can be trusted.
After trying to hear their thoughts, Gu Xinghe's heart skipped a beat.
Gu Xinghe.
In the voices of these people, he heard them calling him by his name.
It wasn't some disrespectful warning; instead, Gu Xinghe detected a strange mix of madness and respect in it.
The phrase "as if Gu Xinghe" represents a different meaning in their vocabulary.
Pressing down Teresa's mischievous hand, Gu Xinghe decided to skip this somewhat bizarre topic.
"By the way, was that mystery guest you invited to the Golden Apple Theater's 100th anniversary celebration?"
"Guess? If you want to know the answer, you'd better look forward to the next performance."
That being said, Gu Xinghe already knew the answer to the riddle in advance.
Then, his thoughts began to wander.
The girl who led him there was obviously also a player participating in the [Golden Apple Theater] instance.
Could these players happen to have a side quest to find out the identity of the mystery guest before the show starts?
Thinking of this, Gu Xinghe suddenly realized—
Perhaps his previous fantasy of buying a hundred or so theater tickets to unlock the game wouldn't be so easy to achieve.
The instance cannot be opened simply by buying a theater ticket.
Perhaps it requires a special location, and also a special event.
For example, this special performance commemorating the centenary.
The dazzling lights shining from the theater ceiling slowly dimmed, and the surrounding audience's conversations gradually quieted down.
The Golden Apple Theatre's centennial celebration special is now ready to begin.
Gu Xinghe noticed that the band was already ready in the orchestra pit.
It's likely that this performance will feature special musical accompaniment.
