Chapter 123 Are you two just getting along?
The four-person trip they had agreed on suddenly turned into a solo "date" between Xia Qingxi and Lu Jingchen. Xia Qingxi was still a little uncomfortable with the situation.
Lu Jingchen did not show any objection, and even when he heard Mai Miao say that they were not going, his cold eyes flickered.
Perhaps affected by their mood, they rode faster than usual. Soon, they arrived at the door of the cinema, checked their tickets at the door, and went in directly.
They arrived relatively early, and it was not yet time for the movie to start, so there were not many people in the theater. Xia Qingxi and Lu Jingxie found their seats according to their ticket numbers, but after they sat down they realized that their seats were not connected. Lu Jingxie's seat was on the left side of the corridor, and there was a person between him and Xia Qingxi's seat on the right.
Xia Qingxi didn't care, anyway, they could watch the show wherever they sat. However, Lu Jingchen frowned slightly and said to Xia Qingxi in a deep voice:
"Wait a minute, I'll go buy two more tickets."
"No, there shouldn't be any tickets for sale now." Xia Qingxi stopped him hastily. She thought that since they already had seats, it was totally unnecessary to buy more tickets just to sit together. She looked at Lu Jingchen and added:
"It doesn't matter, we can watch the show the same way even if we sit separately."
After hearing her words, Lu Jingchen frowned even more.
At this time, someone next to them wanted to go inside, and Lu Jingchen happened to block the way. He hesitated for a moment, but still sat down and made way, but his face was really not very good.
Passing by Lu Jingzhen was a man and a woman, who were obviously a couple. The man was holding a brown paper bag, while the woman was empty-handed and followed him with a smile. After
checking the seats, the woman's smile immediately disappeared and she complained unhappily:
"Why did your friend give you two separate tickets? Is he teasing you on purpose and doesn't want us to sit together?"
"How is that possible? Look at the numbers on the tickets, they are clearly connected. Who knew there would be odd and even numbers?" The man also looked helpless.
At this point, the woman had no choice but to sit down reluctantly. Suddenly, her eyes fell on Xia Qingxi. She looked around and suddenly came up with an idea. She bent down and whispered to her,
"Comrade, can you please change seats with us? Your seat is right between me and my partner. Can you sit in the seat next to me? This seat is closer to the center and you can see the screen better." She pointed to the seat to the right of Xia Qingxi.
"Oh, OK." Xia Qingxi agreed and was about to move forward. Lu Qie, who was standing next to her, was so shocked that his eyebrows were almost wrinkled. If she moved forward again, she would be two seats away from him.
Seeing that she was really going to move, Lu Jingchen didn't hesitate for a second, and suddenly reached out and held her, saying in a calm voice:
"You sit next to me, and leave the other two seats for them."
"Ah, you are together." The woman finally reacted and said with a smile: "That's perfect, that's perfect."
When Xia Qingxiang sat next to him, Lu Jingchen's brows slowly relaxed.
The four people finally sat down in pairs.
The movie hadn't started yet, and the woman sitting next to Xia Qingxiang was very talkative. She looked at her and explained:
"Our tickets were given by a friend, and somehow the seats are separated."
"Oh, our tickets were also given by a friend." Xia Qingxiang replied.
"Ah." The woman was a little surprised and asked hurriedly, "Isn't your friend Xiao Wu too?"
Xia Qingxi realized that their tickets were given by Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu should have bought four tickets, but because he had to work overtime, he gave two to himself and the other two to them. The tickets were consecutive, but the seats were divided into odd and even numbers, so he made a mistake.
"It was Xiao Wu's girlfriend Mai Miao who gave it to them." Xia Qingxi explained.
"Oh, I didn't expect you're an acquaintance." The woman laughed, then took the brown paper bag from her boyfriend's hand, opened it, took out the plums inside and started eating. Noticing that Xia Qingxing next to her had nothing in her hands, she enthusiastically handed the paper bag to her and said,
"Come, eat the plums."
Xia Qingxing waved her hand and said no, it's not that she didn't like to eat them, but she had to spit out the pits after eating for a while, and there was no place to throw them here, which was very troublesome.
"Oh, why are you being polite? Xiao Wu's friends are our friends." After saying that, she grabbed a handful and stuffed it into Xia Qingxing's hand.
While she was talking, the plums were in Xia Qingxing's palm. Now it was not easy to return them, so she took them and said "thank you" politely.
The woman waved her hand to indicate that it was not necessary, then looked at Lu Jingchen beside Xia Qingling, and said to her with a smile:
"This is the first time for you and your partner to watch a movie, right?"
Xia Qingling did not expect her to guess so accurately, and a look of surprise and confusion appeared on her face.
"Haha..." The woman laughed heartily, looked at her boyfriend beside her, and said to Xia Qingxi:
"When he and I went to the movies for the first time, he was so stupid that he didn't buy anything. He just sat there and watched. The people around him were all feeding each other, but he didn't care whether I was hungry or thirsty. He just stared at the screen and smiled foolishly. After watching a movie, I didn't want to date him anymore."
After hearing what the woman said, Xia Qingxi realized that the men and women who entered the cinema all had some food and drinks in their hands. In order to avoid embarrassing Lu Jingxie next to her, she was about to say that she didn't like snacks, but Lu Jingxie suddenly stood up and said to her:
"I'm going out for a while."
After hearing the words "I don't want to be with him anymore", Lu, who had been sitting aside and remained silent, was startled, his expression slightly changed, and he stood up.
Xia Qingying thought he was going to the bathroom, so she didn't ask any more questions and nodded.
After he left, the woman next to her suddenly whispered in Xia Qingying's ear:
"Your date is so handsome." After that, she laughed again: "You are also good-looking, and we are a good match!"
Xia Qingying didn't know what to say for a moment. She has never been a person who likes to make friends easily. She was a little uncomfortable chatting with strangers in a familiar manner, so she politely replied:
"Thank you."
"You two just got together, right?" The woman blinked at Xia Qingying and asked.
"No." Xia Qingqing hesitated for a moment and said truthfully: "We are married."
"Huh?" The woman said in surprise:
"It doesn't look like it, haha, I feel that your relationship is just like when he and I first got together, we are not familiar with each other, haha..."
Xia Qingxi smiled awkwardly. Strictly speaking, she and Lu Jingxi were not even in a relationship yet.
After a while, the woman's boyfriend leaned over and started chatting with the woman. Xia Qingxi stopped talking and sat quietly in her seat.
At this time, three young men dressed in slovenly clothes suddenly walked in from the door. The one walking in front was wearing a vest, with one finger hooked on the shirt on his shoulder, and a pair of frog glasses on his nose.
He looked defiantly, raised his head and glanced at the crowd, his eyes immediately fell on Xia Qingxi who was sitting there alone, after staring for a while, he suddenly raised his hand, pushed the toad mirror under his nose, and carefully looked at Xia Qingxi with his small eyes, then looked at his younger brother behind him and said:
"Hey, it's a coincidence that you came here today." Then he raised his chin in the direction of Xia Qingxi, with a malicious smile on his face, pushed the toad mirror up, and walked towards Xia Qingxi.
When he arrived next to Xia Qingxi, the man sat down on the seat of Lu Jing, leaned his face over, and asked with a smile:
"Big sister, are you watching a movie alone?"
