Yu Ning walked to Yan Shuangxi's side, smiled at Chaochao first, and then greeted Yu Ci with a gentle smile.
Those dark, bright eyes curved into the shape of a crescent moon. "It's been a long time, Yu. It's such a pity I haven't seen you in the library since then."
When she spoke the last five or six words, Yu Ning's pleasant voice lowered slightly. This subtle change in tone would go unnoticed by anyone who wasn't listening carefully.
But standing opposite him was Yu Ci.
He clearly sensed the slight dissatisfaction in Yu Ning's tone, raised his eyebrows slightly, but pretended nothing was wrong.
But Yu Ning, who wore a faint smile on her face but was inwardly cold, was thinking—
So this lucky older brother is Yu Ci.
"Hehe, Sister Yu, I knew we'd meet again!"
Chaochao squinted her almond-shaped eyes and chuckled happily a few times.
The sound of "Sister Yu" made Yan Shuangxi jealous. Even when Chaochao called her Sister Yan, she didn't smile this happily. Yan Shuangxi, who had turned into a lemon spirit, looked at the little dumpling, then at Yu Ning, as if she had discovered their affair:
"Chaochao, do you...do you know Ningning?"
Yu Ci's eyes flickered slightly; this was also something he was concerned about.
"yes."
This time, Yu Ning answered for Chaochao. The girl smiled sweetly, her clear eyes sparkling with light. "I've seen you before when I was working part-time. I didn't expect to run into you here."
As soon as her gentle, clear voice came out, Chaochao's lively little face instantly became wooden, and a question mark on the top of her head was about to pop out, trembling between her two little pigtails.
Is that my older sister's voice?
How come I've never heard of it?
"Oh, I see."
Yan Shuangxi clicked her tongue in regret, tears welling up in her heart. It felt like everyone in the world except her was running into Chaochao... Oh no, she was running into her right now!
"Shuangxi, the movie is about to start if you don't get your tickets soon."
Yu Ning looked at her deskmate, who was dejected one second and overjoyed the next, and tugged at her sleeve, gently reminding her.
Observing Yu Ning's gentle and kind demeanor from the front lines, Chaochao was deeply shocked and took a small step back.
Is this gentle-spoken young lady the same Sister Yu who humiliated the conman uncle?
Sister, how come you have two faces?
It's no wonder the little girl was so shocked; it's because Yu Ning's kind and understanding persona at this moment was completely different from the image of the fierce girl who could fight against many enemies in her memory.
"Oh right, I almost forgot again if you hadn't mentioned it."
Yan Shuangxi hurriedly went to the ticket counter.
While the other two weren't paying attention, Yu Ning silently turned to the side and put a finger to her lips at the little dumpling below who was staring at her dumbfounded.
Then, while smiling, he made a throat-slitting motion.
Don't tell anyone, or you'll be in big trouble.
Chaochao, facing the threat of having her throat slit: "…………"
Yu Ci lowered her dark eyelashes slightly, and her thoughts began to race as Yu Ning recounted how she met Chaochao.
He remembered that Chaochao had said that she and her "older sister" who was studying in Yingchuan met at a dessert shop.
So, everything makes sense now.
As Yu Ci was pondering, she suddenly felt her little hand tighten. Looking back, she realized that the little dumpling who had been standing beside her had quietly retreated two miles away, her expression one of shock as if she had suddenly seen a raging flood.
Yu Ci: "...?"
Currently, besides him and Chaochao, the only other person present is Yu Ning, who is smiling and waiting for Yan Shuangxi to return with the tickets.
Yu Ci's gaze shifted discreetly between her and Chaochao, while his other fingertip quietly tapped the edge of his trouser leg.
However, when he saw Yan Shuangxi running back excitedly with two tickets in his hand, his thoughtful gaze froze slightly, and then a polite smile appeared on his handsome and flawless face.
"Time is tight, so we won't chat any longer. See you at school, Yu."
After saying that, he took the dazed Chaochao's hand and prepared to leave.
Seeing the boy turn around without hesitation, Yu Ning's clear, smiling eyes suddenly flickered, so quickly that it seemed like an illusion to onlookers.
Hey! Yu Shen, we watched the same movie!
When Yan Shuangxi returned with the tickets, she glanced at the identical tickets in the hands of the two people and exclaimed in surprise.
She was so excited to see Chaochao that she didn't even think to ask them what movie they were watching. Turns out it was the same one! Ahhh!
The moment Yan Shuangxi finished speaking, Yu Ci's departing figure was forced to stop.
Just one step away.
Yan Shuangxi was overjoyed.
Because she discovered that not only was she in the same theater as Chaochao, but they were only two rows apart! Two rows! What an incredibly small probability that was, a probability she couldn't even calculate with math! Doesn't this prove the fate between her and Chaochao?
Haha, God! You really are my master!
In the dim light of the theater, Yu Ning, too lazy to pretend anymore, lazily drooped her eyebrows and led her classmate, who was laughing so hard she was out of her mind, to the front row.
The movie begins after a classic dragon logo animation.
Chaochao and Yuci sat in the best viewing area. In the huge giant screen theater, apart from the screen in front, the projector overhead, and the decorative ambient light strips, there was no other light. All the audience's faces seemed to float and sink in the water, sometimes bright and sometimes dark.
At this moment, Chaochao was completely sunk into the sofa chair, with a bucket of popcorn bigger than her head between her two short legs. Her bright black eyes were intently watching the movie, and she was completely absorbed in it, whether she understood it or not.
Although the movie being shown is a light comedy with a humorous atmosphere, there are always unexpected close-up shots that zoom in.
For example, the gaping maw that suddenly appeared with a loud bang startled Chaochao so much that her little hand trembled, and the popcorn she had just picked up fell back into the bucket with a "plop".
As the most delicious child in the world, I can't stand seeing these big mouths that look like they can eat a lot.
