Chapter 17: Inspired Quan Ruifeng
"Understood! Let's go then."
The movie tickets had already been bought, it would be a waste not to watch the movie, and she hadn't watched a movie for many, many years. Xia Xian was very proactive and wanted to go to the movies with Quan Ruifeng.
It was just that she was holding a rose in her hand, which was too eye-catching and attracted the attention of everyone passing by. She was a little uncomfortable with this, so she stepped back and asked Quan Ruifeng quietly.
“Can I throw away this bouquet of flowers?”
"No, our goal is to draw everyone's attention."
Quan Ruifeng refused succinctly, looking at Xia Xian with a disdainful look, as if to ask, "What else are we doing now?"
Yes, this is indeed their purpose.
Since that’s the case, Xia Xian should try to get used to it!
She was holding flowers, and the ambiguous atmosphere she exuded was too obvious. Even though Quan Ruifeng didn't say anything, he was handsome, and the two of them looked particularly well matched when standing together.
The ticket collector at the movie theater saw the young couple coming over and naturally assumed that they were a couple, so he pointed to the right.
"The movie 'By the Water' is in the theater on the right. We have to wait another half an hour before it starts."
"On the Other Side of the Water" is a love movie, and many young couples watch it. Xia Xian took the movie ticket and took another look at it for confirmation before saying this.
"We are watching "Spring Seedlings", not "By the Waterside". Can we go in now? Or do we have to wait a while?"
"Hey, you want to watch Spring Sprouts? Then go in. It's on the left."
The ticket inspector took the tickets with surprise and looked at them before letting the two in. Xia Xian and Quan Ruifeng could still hear the ticket inspector mumbling softly when they entered.
"When dating, instead of watching romance movies, you watch movies about the development and struggle of rural medical and health care. How boring."
·····
Xia Xian also realized that this was what the movie was about. Xia Xian also wanted to ask Quan Ruifeng what he was thinking? Didn't he say that he should do the whole thing? Although she liked to watch all kinds of movies, was this movie something that people who wanted to date liked to watch? What if Haiying saw through her flaws?
Xia Xian looked at Quan Ruifeng with her sharp eyes, and her big black and white eyes silently conveyed her condemnation.
Quan Ruifeng turned his head, avoiding Xia Xian's gaze, and stepped into the movie theater first, leaving Xia Xian with only his tall back.
"It's my first time chasing someone. I have no experience."
"I'll watch "The Waterside" tomorrow, and "Young Men in War" the day after tomorrow."
Quan Ruifeng's steady voice sounded in front.
These three movies were recently released. Quan Ruifeng doesn't care what they are about. He watches one a day. There's nothing wrong with chasing after them, right?
It's impossible for people to watch the same romantic movie for three consecutive days when they are dating someone, right?
Quan Ruifeng thought casually.
Xia Xian held her forehead with her hand. So he planned to watch movies for three consecutive days. Was he trying to boost the movie's sales or was he pursuing someone?
She took small steps to catch up, but in order to avoid embarrassing someone, she said considerately.
"As you say."
Anyway, the guidelines have been basically formulated, and there will definitely be some effects. Let's just be casual about some places.
After entering the movie room, although the light was not bright enough, I could still tell that most of the audience were older, middle-aged people. The young people sat together in groups of three or four of the same sex, and there was almost no combination of a man and a woman sitting together.
So when the two of them came in like this, everyone's curious eyes moved around them, until the curtains were drawn and the room became dark, everyone quieted down.
The two of them watched the movie very seriously, each one enjoying it very much, but they were like strangers and didn't say a word the whole time.
The two didn't start talking until they left the cinema.
"Where are we going now? To the department store?"
It's still early now, and breaking up like this doesn't conform to the normal blind date process for men and women.
"Well, go shopping and buy whatever you like."
It is normal for a man to take a woman shopping during a blind date to show his strength. Quan Ruifeng was afraid that Xia Xian would be embarrassed to buy things, so he told her in advance.
But Xia Xian didn't feel comfortable letting him spend money, after all, they were acting, so the two of them just wandered around the department store, going up and down, shopping on both floors, and counting a lot of steps.
If a pretty girl or a handsome young man walks on the street, people will take a look at them but would be embarrassed to look at them for too long. However, if it is a combination of a pretty girl and a handsome young man, people will look at them casually.
The lady selling skin care products at the counter saw that the two of them had been shopping for a long time without buying anything, so she couldn't help but greet them.
"Girls, boys, what do you want to buy? You've been walking around for so long. Why don't you come over to my place and take a look? I have lipsticks, perfumes, and vanishing creams. They're all Shanghai brands and are really good!"
"You look so pretty, you will definitely look even better if you use it. You will charm the boy next to you!"
The eldest sister is witty, humorous and talkative, and she dares to joke even to Quan Ruifeng's cold and handsome face.
Xia Xian thought that it would not be a good idea to continue shopping like this, so she could just buy something and be done with it. She brought money and tickets, and she hadn't used skin care products for many years. Later, her skin became dark, yellow and rough. Even though she was young now, she still needed to take some maintenance in advance. She had to be nicer to herself!
Xia Xian touched her fair and smooth face, walked over and said cheerfully.
"Give me two boxes, no, four boxes of vanishing cream, and nothing else."
She also gave a box to her mother and two sisters-in-law. She hadn't bought anything since she returned home, so she would go see if she could buy some meat later.
She took a leave of absence before getting married, and now she doesn't have to go back to work, but she still has last month's salary and the thirty or so yuan from the Chu family plus a few bills, so she is well off. In addition, she also has gold bars, so she doesn't have to be too stingy with herself.
Xia Xian is well aware of one thing: if you don't know who to give the money to, it's better to spend it yourself and enjoy life while you can!
"Oh, four boxes at once. Okay, little girl, you have a good eye! Two yuan a box, eight yuan in total, and you need an industrial ticket. Our vanishing cream is very moisturizing! You will definitely like it!"
The eldest sister first praised Xia Xian, but when she talked about money, her eyes were clearly looking at Quan Ruifeng.
How can you go out with a girl and let her pay?
Quan Ruifeng was also very considerate. Without waiting for Xia Xian to take out the money, he paid the bill first.
"Hey, hey, hey! I'll give it to you! I don't mean to ask you to buy something for me, I want to buy it for myself and bring one to my mom and sister-in-law!"
Xia Xian hurried to stop him, pursed her lips, already feeling embarrassed, as if she was trying to take advantage of Quan Ruifeng.
"Silly girl, what's wrong with asking your boyfriend to show off? He can also buy things for your mother and sister-in-law. Your family will definitely have a better impression of him!"
The eldest sister was an experienced person and knew that Xia Xian was thin-skinned. She felt embarrassed so she refused to take Xia Xian's money and quickly took Quan Ruifeng's money.
"Okay, go on shopping, young man. Don't always wait for a girl to say what she wants. It'll make her feel embarrassed. You can buy her whatever she likes. Boys should take the initiative!"
She took the money and also gave Quan Ruifeng a lesson. She didn't think Quan Ruifeng was stingy, she just thought he was young and naive. Xia Xian was shy, so it was no wonder that they only bought some vanishing cream after shopping for so long.
"Um."
Quan Ruifeng nodded with a cold face, looking thoughtful.
Quan Ruifeng understood, Quan Ruifeng could no longer control himself!
