Chapter 638 Illusory Yet Real



Sitting in the back row, Guangyou felt a little embarrassed when he remembered his slip of the tongue.

Someone treated me to popcorn, and then I accused them of being bald.

Although he quickly changed his tune, judging from the bald man's reaction, he must have heard him.

Thinking of this, Guangyou glanced apologetically at the bald man. When he saw the bald man touching his head, which was so shiny it could be reflected light with a little wax, he felt even more embarrassed.

It seems I rubbed salt into their wounds with my words.

Actually, Guangyou didn't mean it. He just said it by accident and had no ill intentions. He still maintains the most basic respect for his teacher.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, this teacher is quite responsible. He even organized students to watch a movie on his day off. Although it may sound a bit exaggerated, his original intention was good.

It couldn't be that he organized this event because he didn't have a partner, could it?

Wait a minute, Kōyū paused for a moment, it didn't seem like that was impossible.

The thought had barely crossed his mind when Guangyou cut it off. He was definitely being petty and judging a gentleman by his own standards. The teacher certainly hadn't thought that way; he must have organized this event for the students' future.

These thoughts sprouted like mushrooms after rain, but before they could grow too tall, Guangyou quickly snapped back to reality, gave the teacher a deep look, and silently wished her well: "I was very rude just now. I hope your hair grows long enough to reach your waist..."

After saying that, Kwangyu added, "I'm definitely not saying this because of the popcorn and juice, but the popcorn is really delicious today."

After finishing his own mental exercise, Kwang-woo turned his attention to the screen, focusing intently on eating popcorn and watching the movie casually.

Boring times always seem to pass slowly. The movie was only a fifth of the way through when Guangyou was already feeling noticeably sleepy, which made him marvel that watching this movie was more effective than taking sleeping pills.

Fortunately, his past experiences had instilled in Guangyou excellent patience. Even though the movie didn't appeal to him, he still acted as if it was really good.

During the movie, Ai would occasionally turn her head to glance at Kōyū. She was thinking that if Kōyū really couldn't stand it, she would take him out of the theater early to watch another movie.

To Ai's surprise, when she turned around, she found that Kousuke was staring intently at the screen.

Upon seeing this, Ai's lips curled into a smile, her eyes sparkling, and it was unclear what she was thinking.

Ai quickly looked away and continued to immerse herself in the world created by the movie.

The two shows are broadcast back-to-back, with a short break in between, only ten minutes long, but enough for someone to go to the bathroom or something.

Perhaps because he had drunk too much juice, as soon as the movie ended, Guangyou said goodbye to Xiao Ai and then quickly left the screening room to head to the restroom.

On his way to the restroom, Guangyou was still thinking about whether those students would be waiting to teach him a lesson in the restroom, since he had accidentally said those words and attracted a wave of criticism.

I was already upset that the teacher made me watch this kind of movie on my day off, and then the teacher compared us to a child. How could I not be angry?

Even before the movie started, Kwang-woo felt that at least three people were looking at him with that kind of stern, almost punchable gaze.

As long as the person blocking his way isn't some particularly powerful individual, Guangyou is confident he can handle it.

But the truth is that Guangyou went into the restroom expectantly, but came out disappointed, as no one was blocking him inside.

He felt much better after soaking in the hot springs yesterday. Now he's looking for a punching bag. He originally thought there would be some troublemakers blocking his way, but there weren't any.

It was really disappointing.

Before returning to the screening room, Kōyū needs to replenish his popcorn, otherwise he'll be bored to death during the movie.

After buying the popcorn, Guangyou returned to the screening room, sat down in his seat, grabbed a handful of still-warm popcorn, stuffed it into his mouth, and made a "crunch crunch" sound, quietly savoring the sweet milky aroma between his lips and teeth.

The movie didn't appeal to him, but the popcorn was really good.

"Did you come here to watch a movie?" Ai took two or three kernels from her bucket of popcorn, chewed them, glanced at Kōyū, and teased, "Why do I feel like you came here to eat popcorn?"

"How could that be?" Guangyou said, stuffing a few more popcorn into his mouth. "We've already watched one show, haven't we? One bucket of popcorn per show, just the right amount."

"You always have so many excuses." Xiao Ai pouted. "These puffed snacks have no nutritional value, so it's better to eat less of them."

"Just this once," Guangyou said with a smile. "I'll try to eat less of this kind of thing in the future, so as not to worry you."

Hearing this, Ai couldn't help but roll her eyes at Kousuke and said, "You're making it sound like you decided to eat less for my sake, but eating less of this stuff is for your own good."

"My bad." Guangyou saw the theater go dark again and immediately changed the subject, "The movie has started, let's continue watching the movie."

The attempt to change the subject failed, and Ai added, "Be careful, or you'll regret it when you get sick from eating it."

"Mm." Kōyū nodded to Ai and said, "Don't worry, it won't happen."

Only after receiving a response did Ai turn her head back to look at the screen.

After the conversation ended, Kwang-yu turned to look at the screen.

The second part, which is also the last part of the package, is about to begin.

He'll be free once he finishes watching this movie. Then he can take Ai out for dinner, which would be great.

While thinking about where to take Ai to eat, Kōyū reached out towards the popcorn bucket, but stopped just before touching the popcorn inside.

Popcorn is indeed delicious, fragrant, crispy, and a little sweet, but Ai's concern cannot be ignored; after all, she's doing it for his own good.

Forget it, let's just focus on watching the movie.

...

When the two came out of the movie theater, it was just sunset.

The rows of buildings, and even the pedestrians on the road, were bathed in the golden light of the setting sun, as if they were draped in a golden coat.

Some of these pedestrians had just finished get off work, while others had spent the day playing outside and were just about to go home. Their steps either revealed fatigue or joy.

Strolling among the pedestrians, feeling the vibrant atmosphere of the city, Xiao Ai suddenly felt a little dazed.

I can now walk openly and honestly on the street like an ordinary person.

She can now go to the movies with other girls, just like any other girl.

Moreover... Ai glanced at Kousuke, then focused her gaze on their tightly clasped hands, and this person was none other than the boy she liked.

How could someone like her actually have someone she likes?

How could anyone like someone like her?

This has been going on for a while now. If it weren't for the warmth emanating from the other person's hand, Ai would have thought it was all a dream.

"If all of this is just a dream," Ai murmured, lowering her eyes and staring at the ground, "then I want to sleep like this forever."
