Since the meal was free, Bai Xiaoruo and Ji Ziqian could leave at any time after they were full.
Next, they went to the movie theater. As soon as they entered the door, Ji Ziqian experienced a sharp pain in his stomach, so severe that he couldn't straighten up at all.
Ji Ziqian immediately thought of the complimentary plate of wasabi fish that the waiter served at the end.
That wasabi fish must be poisonous.
I can't take it anymore, my stomach hurts so badly.
"Brother Ziqian, what's wrong?" Bai Xiaoruo looked at him worriedly. He looked unwell, as if he was feeling unwell.
"It's okay, it's okay..." He forced a smile at her. "My stomach is a little upset. You go inside and wait for me. I'll come find you soon."
"Okay then, come back soon."
"good."
Bai Xiaoruo took her ticket from the automatic ticket machine at the movie theater and stood by waiting for Ji Ziqian to return.
There's still a while before the movie starts, so there's no rush to go in.
As she waited for Ji Ziqian to return, a soft, large hand gently patted her shoulder from behind.
Bai Xiaoruo was startled and turned around. It was the giant Rilakkuma that she had encountered in the restaurant corridor earlier.
She breathed a sigh of relief, thinking she had encountered some bad people. "Oh, it's you. What are you doing here?"
Without a word, it suddenly pulled out a beautifully packaged bouquet of baby's breath from behind its back and gave it to her.
Bai Xiaoruo was somewhat flattered. "It's so beautiful. Is this... for me?"
Xiongxiong nodded.
"Well... thank you." Bai Xiaoruo lowered her head and sniffed. There was a faint fragrance, not like the scent of flowers, but it smelled quite nice. "You are the second person in the world to give me flowers. I like them very much, thank you so much."
Xiongxiong paused for a moment, then wrote a short passage in crooked handwriting on a drawing board and showed it to her—[Who was the first man to give you flowers?]
"Oh, it's Brother Ziqian. Every year on my birthday he gives me a lot of unique gifts, all of which are related to gardenias. So I especially like gardenias."
What gifts do I give her every year?
Xuan Mingyu, inside the bear-patterned coat, thought for a moment. He had only celebrated her birthday once. Although he had prepared a cake and a ring, he hadn't thought of sending flowers.
It turns out she likes gardenias; I shouldn't have given her baby's breath.
"Look, this bracelet is a birthday gift from Ziqian this year. Isn't it pretty?" Bai Xiaoru proudly shook her wrist. She had been wearing this bracelet all along and thought it was especially beautiful and liked it very much.
Hsien Ming-yu recognized the bracelet at a glance.
He saw this chain on her wrist the night she celebrated her birthday in the US. She lied to him and said she bought it herself. He never expected that she would tell the truth now. It was actually a birthday present from that guy!
Did Ji Ziqian also go to the United States at that time?
Just how many things has this girl been hiding from me?
If I had known, I should have not only had someone put laxatives on that plate of wasabi fish at the restaurant, but had poisoned it to kill him!
Xiongxiong continued writing on the drawing board—[Do you like him?]
"Huh?" Bai Xiaoru didn't know how to answer for a moment. She smiled and shook her head. "No, I'm not good enough for him."
Xiongxiong continued writing—[Why aren't you good enough? You're great.]
"Sigh, that's just your opinion. I don't think I'm any good. Ziqian is a very outstanding person, but I... I've been divorced, I've had an abortion, and my health... In short, I'm really terrible."
Xiongxiong gripped the pen with difficulty, her crooked handwriting filling the entire drawing board—[Have you ever thought about going back to your ex-husband? Do you still love him? Why did you two get divorced?]
"No, I don't plan to go back. There's no possibility between us anymore, and it's not like I still like him... There are many reasons for the divorce." Bai Xiaoruo sighed and continued, "He never truly loved me. He betrayed our marriage and had an affair... That woman was pregnant with his child and came to persuade me to divorce him. I... I can't keep clinging to her, right? So... it's over. I'm doing quite well on my own now."
His child? What child did he have?
Who is the woman she's talking about? Is it Su Yuluo?
Only at this moment, taking advantage of the bear outfit, was Xuan Mingyu finally able to get Bai Xiaoruo to reveal what was on her mind.
It turns out... she thought he had betrayed her, that he had a child with someone else, which is why she cried and made a scene demanding a divorce...
Bai Xiaoruo, are you an idiot?
Don't you know what kind of person I, Xian Mingyu, am?
If I really wanted to be with someone else, I would have divorced you without hesitation and kicked you out long ago. How could I... still love you so deeply that I wouldn't be able to let you go even after the divorce...
"Xiao Ruo!"
Ji Ziqian had already finished running to the toilet and returned. Xiongxiong turned around and left before Bai Xiaoruo could call out to it.
What a strange bear! It asked so many strange questions, then suddenly appeared and then suddenly disappeared.
Ji Ziqian immediately noticed the bouquet of baby's breath in Bai Xiaoruo's hand. "Xiaoruo, what are these flowers...?"
"Oh, someone else gave it to me. I don't know them."
"I see..." Ji Ziqian didn't think too much about it. "Let's go in and watch the movie."
