The movie hadn't started yet and the theater was dark.
Bo Chi took two steps, but since he couldn't see the road clearly, he decided to take out his cell phone and turn on the flashlight.
Just after she unlocked her phone, she accidentally stepped on empty air because she wasn't paying attention.
Bo Chi screamed subconsciously, but before his flailing hands could grab anything to hold on to, Yu Zhao beside him noticed the movement and held his lower abdomen firmly.
"Are you okay?" Yu Zhao let her hang on his arm, frowned and asked, "Did you sprain your ankle?"
Bo Chi was just in a false alarm. He patted his chest and stood up straight, saying with lingering fear: "It's okay. Thank you for helping me."
——Otherwise, if she fell face up on the stairs, she wouldn’t have to watch any more movies and could go directly to the plastic surgery hospital to register.
It was dark all around, and Yu Zhao couldn't see Bo Chi's face. He could only hear the girl's crisp and grateful voice.
Although it was the first time I heard the other person say thank you.
But it feels...not bad.
Yu Zhao curled his lips slightly and took the lead to take her to find a seat.
Shortly after the two sat down, the movie officially began playing.
Yu Zhao stared at the screen, but his mind was on the people around him.
After a series of speculations and tests, she had determined Bo Chi's thoughts.
This spoiled young lady seemed to have had a crush on her since some time ago?
Moreover, the means by which they pursue people are so childish and despicable that they are outrageous, just like those bad children in kindergarten. The more they want attention, the more they try to bully others.
Yu Zhao had no intention of being masochistic, and he responded with great hostility to those who had targeted him.
The only exception is the thin wing.
It seemed that ever since that glass of honey water, every time she met the girl's sparkling eyes, her heart would instinctively soften. She would forget all her negative emotions, and she couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips and smile unconsciously.
Such an unfamiliar reaction made her feel strange, but she was not disgusted.
But to say this is love is obviously an exaggeration.
Yu Zhao has never been in a relationship, and she has no intention of doing so. Compared to being intimate and obsessed with another person, she would rather spend her time working and saving the money she earns, using part of it for her mother's regular medical checkups, part of it to support her studies, and if there is any extra, she will use it in financial investment, so that she will not be idle.
So it is impossible for her to be with Bo Chi both emotionally and logically.
You have to find a way to reject the other party tactfully.
Yu Zhao stared at the screen thoughtfully for a while, then suddenly turned his head and leaned closer to Bo Chi, whispering, "Did you see it? This is a love story between two girls."
Bo Chi watched the movie without blinking, nodded and said, "I see."
Yu Zhao: "Don't you think it's weird?"
Bo Chi said as a matter of course: "I don't think so."
Yu Zhao suddenly felt mixed emotions.
Sure enough, the thin wings are really curved.
The roundabout choice of this drama was indeed a subtle hint to her.
Bo Chi was eating popcorn without noticing anything.
When she was still in school in real life, Yu Zhao took her to watch various dramas. Eighty percent of the dramas he chose were about two pretty sisters being affectionate with each other, which made her feel awkward and uncomfortable at first, but later she became calm and even wrote an 800-word fan fiction about the sweet and touching love between girls.
Although Yu Zhao's expression was a bit strange at that time...
But who cares? Even if they are sworn enemies who watch the same show together, they are still sworn enemies!
Bo Chi continued to crunch his popcorn, but Yu Zhao didn't want to wait any longer. He took a deep breath and said directly: "But I feel very weird. I have never thought about being with a girl..."
——She doesn’t even want to fall in love, she just wants to make money now!
Bo Chi finally pulled himself away from the movie and turned his head away in a daze.
The movement of her face turning to the side was so sudden that Yu Zhao did not react. She only felt a soft touch across her cheek. It was very light, but it made her heart skip a beat. She stepped back as if she had been electrocuted, and the side of her face that was touched quickly became hot.
Bo Chi didn't feel anything, and continued with what she had just said: "Why did you suddenly bring this up? Normal girls wouldn't have this idea, right? Wait, I just realized that most of the people watching this movie are girls. Could it be that you...did you bring me to watch this on purpose?!"
Yu Zhao pursed his lips. Even though his heart was beating wildly, he still had to remind her, "You chose the movie."
Bo Chi suddenly came back to his senses from his shock and said in an embarrassed and silly way, "Oh, right, I forgot."
After she made such a stupid move, the temperature on Yu Zhao's face gradually cooled. He exhaled deeply, and after feeling that his tactful refusal was adequate, Yu Zhao said no more and continued to watch the movie calmly.
When she saw the two female protagonists on the big screen, kissing each other with their fingers intertwined among the falling cherry blossoms, she suddenly raised her slender white hand, slowly wiped her cheek, and her thoughts gradually wandered.
She was still in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking, until the end of the film, when Bo Chi wiped his claws and stood up contentedly.
Bo Chi poked her in confusion: "Why don't you leave?"
Yu Zhao was awakened, and his snow-white cheeks flushed.
She stood up straight and walked out of the cinema with Bo Chi. The night wind outside blew and her chaotic thoughts were immediately suppressed.
"You didn't bring your bodyguards with you today, nor did you bring your friends. It's not safe to be alone at night. It's better to go back early." Yu Zhao didn't look at Bo Chi, and said softly: "Don't come to see me again in the future."
Bo Chi didn't understand her subtext and thought she was showing weakness after being bullied for a long time. He raised his pointed chin and replied arrogantly: "Are you teaching me how to do things?"
Yu Zhao: “…”
I almost forgot, this guy is not the type to be obedient.
She advised the girl to withdraw in time for her own good, but if she continued to pester her, she would be helpless against this young lady.
While feeling annoyed, Yu Zhao also felt a subtle sense of pleasure.
She was silent for two seconds, then said, "I still have to work. I'm leaving now."
Bo Chi looked at the dark sky, chased after him and said, "You also know it's so late, it's not safe to be alone, I'll be kind and reluctantly give you a ride."
She was really worried about Yu Zhao, but to Yu Zhao's ears, her words clearly sounded like a girl's obsession.
After giving Bo Chi a complicated look, Yu Zhao pursed his red lips, but in the end he did not refuse and acquiesced to the other party's following.
The night breeze is blowing, mixed with a hint of coolness.
Yu Zhao worked at a snack stand not far away, across an alley from the commercial street. The alley was long and narrow. There were lights originally, but due to years of disrepair, they had become intermittent, flickering and then suddenly going out.
Bo Chi originally wanted to maintain the demeanor of a young lady, but after being frightened by the silence and flickering lights all around her, she unknowingly moved closer to Yu Zhao.
Seeing her trembling and nervous, Yu Zhao hesitated to push her away, and instead hugged her shoulders, saying awkwardly and clumsily, "We'll be there soon."
Just as he finished speaking, there was a sound of a plastic bottle being kicked from the front.
Yu Zhao and Bo Chi stopped at the same time and looked over.
Deep in the dark alley, the man sighed in annoyance and simply stopped hiding and walked out carelessly. He seemed to have just drunk some wine, and his steps were a little shaky. The smell of alcohol on his body spread in the wind. His figure was relatively ordinary, but he was still taller and stronger than the two girls. The mask on his face was worn crookedly. He held a rusty iron pipe he picked up at random in one hand and dug his ears with the other hand. He shouted impatiently: "I don't want to use force today. If you know what's good for you, take out the money!"
Bo Chi couldn't help but muttered: "He didn't even prepare a QR code. Who carries cash when going out these days?"
Yu Zhao's eyelids twitched, and he couldn't help but press her head, suggesting that she should behave herself.
The alley was too quiet, and even though Bo Chi's voice was very low, the man could still hear it clearly. He was a little angry and swore, "You don't want to give it to me, right? I beat you up and you give it to me!"
Men who are drunk are particularly impulsive. Plus, most men have a violent nature in their bones, so he didn't say much nonsense, just raised the iron pipe and hit him.
Bo Chi was startled and found that Yu Zhao did not move. He instinctively raised his hand to push the other person aside, and then hurriedly stepped back.
The iron pipe passed in front of his body, but his thin wings were narrowly escaped without any damage.
Before she could be happy, Yu Zhao's face suddenly darkened. He quickly approached the man, raised his knee and knocked the iron pipe off the man's hand, then hit him in the face with his elbow. The man screamed in pain, and a lot of blood gushed out of his nose, dripping down the bottom of the mask.
He seemed to have been awakened by the beating, but out of face as a man, or perhaps because he looked down on women, he continued to hit Yu Zhao with his fists.
Yu Zhao took the attack calmly, fought back and forth for a few times, and successfully used a crotch-kicking move, which consumed 90% of a man's fighting power.
Seeing the other man fall to his knees, she picked up the fallen iron rod and was about to hit him again with the knife, but the man finally felt scared and staggered away limping quickly.
Seeing that he had finally left, Yu Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and came to Bo Chi, and asked sternly: "Who told you to push me?"
Bo Chi was stunned. Although he felt a little wronged by being scolded, he still said honestly, "I'm sorry."
Yu Zhao almost laughed out of anger, gritting his teeth and said, "Do you know that if you had reacted a little slower just now, you would have been hit! I stood still so I would have the confidence to fight back, you could just run away by yourself, why did you push me in the first place? Am I that important to you?!"
Bo Chi was originally timid and shrank his head, but upon hearing this, he immediately mustered up the courage to nod and affirmatively said: "Of course, to me, you are the most important person in this world!"
Her purpose in coming to this world is to cause trouble for her mortal enemy. The system also considerately helps her make the tasks in each world the opposite of Yu Zhao. If something happens to Yu Zhao, what tasks will she have to complete?
Yu Zhao's breathing gradually became rapid. She had been alone since she was a child and had no companions since she could remember. Even her mother, who had always loved her, regarded that ungrateful man as the most important person in her heart.
She had become accustomed to the loneliness around her and no longer desired anyone's love. Before, she even hated the girl in front of her.
But who would have known that there would come a day when the other party would disregard his own safety and push her away from danger, like a little sun, saying so frankly and passionately that she was the most important.
Yu Zhao found it ridiculous, as if his soul had been pulled out of his body, feeling light and unreal.
But this did not prevent her from having red eyes. She threw down the iron rod, hugged the girl tightly in her arms, and cursed with a sob: "You idiot... Don't do this again in the future!"
