After listening, Rong Zhaonan nodded and went into the movie theater first.
Ning Yuan, however, was in no hurry and waited for the movie to start before entering the theater.
As soon as she entered the dark interior, she noticed that even for a midnight showing, the movie theater was almost full.
After all, "Romance on Lushan Mountain" was the first romance film after the Cultural Revolution, and the male and female leads were an overseas Chinese woman and a young man from Beijing.
Breaking the long-standing monopoly of model operas in cinemas and the taboo against discussing romantic relationships on screen, "Romance on Lushan Mountain" achieved tremendous success.
Ning Yuan glanced around the movie theater. Instead of going to the seat in front of her, she went to a seat in the middle.
Rong Zhaonan was sitting right next to her, and when the screen was lit, he raised his hand to her.
Ning Yuan sat down next to him, her gaze falling on the front row, where a rather thin woman was sitting—it was Su Xiaoli.
Worried that Su Xiaoli would recognize her, she had Rong Zhaonan enter the movie theater early and spent a dollar to have two seats switched so that he could sit behind Su Xiaoli.
After all, when they met last time, Rong Zhaonan stood in the shadows and didn't say a word, making him even less likely to be noticed.
While watching the movie, Ning Yuan kept an eye on the empty seat next to Su Xiaoli and noticed that even though the movie was halfway through, no one had come to sit there.
Su Xiaoli watched the movie by herself, and when she saw the touching parts, she would sob from time to time, showing that she was particularly sentimental.
Ning Yuan couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Su Xiaoli really did come to see a movie on her own whim, and it had nothing to do with Su Xueming?
Seeing that she was distracted, Rong Zhaonan suddenly lowered his head and whispered in her ear—
"There were only two empty seats in Su Xiaoli's row, one on the side and the other right in the middle. Movie theaters don't leave good seats unsold."
His voice was cool and deep, then lowered to a clear, magnetic quality, while his breath was hot as it brushed against her soft earlobe.
Ning Yuan's ears were the most sensitive, and she felt a tingling sensation. She pinched the muscle on his arm without any politeness: "Behave yourself and don't do anything reckless."
Don't try to flirt in the dark of the movie theater.
Rong Zhaonan pulled her halfway into his arms and chuckled, "Am I being dishonest, or is your Daoist heart wavering and your mind wandering?"
Ning Yuan leaned against his chest and shoulder, her nose filled with his scent, and muttered with a tingling sensation on her face, "Nonsense, I'm a materialist, I don't practice Taoism!"
She would never admit that she was easily charmed by his simple gesture.
The two watched the movie and talked at the same time, since the movie was loud enough to drown out their intimate whispers.
Until the end of the movie, the seat next to Su Xiaoli remained empty.
Ning Yuan was disappointed when, just as Su Xiaoli was being stood up, she suddenly saw a clean-cut figure wearing a mask outside the movie theater coming to pick up Su Xiaoli.
Even with a mask on, you can tell that person has a great figure and a good demeanor.
Ning Yuan was startled and immediately pulled Rong Zhaonan to follow.
Rong Zhaonan looked at her furtive appearance and rubbed his temples: "You're the one who said we've never had a proper date, so why is this date turning into catching someone cheating?"
While keeping an eye on the two people, Ning Yuan waved her hand dismissively: "Oh, catching someone cheating can be part of our date, right? How exciting! Nobody catches their partner cheating on a date normally."
Rong Zhaonan sneered, "You could be any more dismissive! Am I not as important to you as Chu Hongyu?"
Although he said that, Rong Zhaonan still followed Ning Yuan and secretly followed Su Xiaoli and that man all the way.
It's just that my wife has this kind of personality; whoever treats her well, she'll definitely treat them well in return.
The two followed him, and Ning Yuan noticed that the man was very cautious and never took off his mask the whole time.
Ning Yuan had only met Su Xueming twice, so she wasn't sure if the other person was actually Su Xueming.
Rong Zhaonan quickly identified the other person after observing for a while.
After all, they have developed the ability to accurately identify targets on the battlefield, especially since the enemy's camouflage is far inferior to that of the enemy on the battlefield.
but……
Seeing Ning Yuan deep in thought, a hint of amusement flashed in his cool eyes, but he didn't say anything.
I followed Su Xiaoli and her companion to a tenement building and saw them go up to the third floor.
Ning Yuan looked up at the room light that was on with disappointment and sighed, "There's nothing we can do. We can't see what they're doing in there."
For Chu Hongyu's sake, she still needed to be 100% certain whether the other party was having an affair before deciding what to do next.
Rong Zhaonan crossed his arms, bent his long legs against the wall, and said lazily, "I can help you find out what they're doing in the room."
Ning Yuan's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "Really?"
Rong Zhaonan looked at her with a half-smile: "Of course, but next time, Boss Ning..."
"Stop! I won't try weird things with you!" Ning Yuan glared at him with her big eyes, then turned and left.
Rong Zhaonan moved swiftly, blocking her path, and whispered something in her ear: "...You don't think it's going too far, do you?"
Ning Yuan suddenly grabbed her collar, her round face flushed, and looked at him with a complicated expression: "Didn't we just spend the afternoon together... When you were with me, didn't you have anything else on your mind?"
It's really strange. Why is this person so different from the imposing, cold, and decisive leader she saw on TV decades later?
Rong Zhaonan crossed his arms with a roguish air and said confidently, "It's my own little wife. What's wrong with me kissing and hugging her if I want to? When our brigade's little wives came to visit, they didn't even leave the camp for the first week."
Back then, he was just a naive young soldier. He didn't understand why the battalion commander and the others would have such lustful eyes whenever they saw their wives, and why they would go straight to the family quarters after training and refuse to come out.
After meeting her, he understood that soldiers naturally possess a strong yang energy, and even a sow could turn into a beautiful woman, let alone his own pretty little wife.
Before Ning Yuan could answer, Rong Zhaonan pinched her round cheek and grinned mischievously, "It's settled!"
Then, he suddenly crouched down, lightly touched the ground with his toes, and like a leopard, he actually climbed onto the water pipe and leaped to the third-floor window in just a few swift movements!
Ning Yuan was startled and almost screamed, but she quickly covered her mouth and stared in disbelief as he clung to the window.
So agile and nimble it's unreal!
Good heavens! This guy is really...
She immediately looked around warily, and found that no one was paying attention in the middle of the night, but she dared not let her guard down.
She was afraid he would fall, and she also regretted bringing him along, lest they be mistaken for thieves and arrested!
After waiting for more than forty minutes, Ning Yuan was extremely anxious and could no longer bear it. She frantically waved her arms at him, signaling him to come down.
With a few leaps, Rong Zhaonan nimbly climbed the windowsill and landed on the ground like a leopard.
Ning Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and grabbed him, saying, "Let's go, back to the movie theater, and drive back to school!"
Rong Zhaonan didn't drive just now because he was following Su Xiaoli and the others.
This time, Rong Zhaonan obediently let Ning Yuan pull him away.
Just as they stepped out of the alley, Rong Zhaonan suddenly said, "The two of them are having marital relations upstairs. Su Xueming lasts quite a while, but his technique is lacking."
Ning Yuan slipped and coughed.
She almost choked on her own saliva and nearly fell flat on her face.
Rong Zhaonan, quick-witted and agile, grabbed her by the back of her collar: "Why are you so surprised?"
Ning Yuan blushed with annoyance and glared at him sarcastically: "You—aren't you disgusting!"
Rong Zhaonan said with disgust and indifference, "I feel disgusted because of you. I didn't watch them take off their clothes, I just listened outside the window."
Ning Yuan: "..."
You've been eavesdropping for over forty minutes! I'd think you were a pervert!
but……
Ning Yuan couldn't help but clench her fists: "Su Xueming actually got together with that nanny, what a bastard!"
Rong Zhaonan calmly added, "Su Xiaoli is not just a simple nanny. She and Su Xueming grew up together as childhood sweethearts, and she is his wife."
