Fan Mingyu and Fu Xinyu looked at each other, then laughed. Fan Mingyu said, "But there's no rule that says you can't buy these if you're not a couple. Don't worry about these details, okay?"
Shang Lin, "Okay, it's me..."
"Hey, isn't that Xu Feifei?" Fu Xinyu suddenly lowered his voice, then tilted his head to show Fan Mingyu, "Her fiancé."
Shang Lin subconsciously looked over and, sure enough, saw the man in the wheelchair. Xu Feifei was shopping and didn't see them, but the man in the wheelchair did.
Shang Lin felt a bit overwhelmed. Was this some kind of "fate"? He wondered if Xu Feifei's crazy idea even knew about her fiancé.
As soon as Xu Feifei finished shopping, Lu Xianyu gestured for her to look at Shang Lin and the other two, saying, "They're all your classmates, aren't you going to go say hello?"
Xu Feifei then noticed Shang Lin, Fan Mingyu, and Fu Xinyu. She was fine when she saw Fu Xinyu, but she felt very awkward when she saw Shang Lin and Fan Mingyu. She didn't really want to go up and say hello.
But Lu Xianyu had already turned his wheelchair and gone ahead, so Xu Feifei had no choice but to follow.
Fu Xinyu winked at Fan Mingyu, what did that mean? Why did they even come here? They didn't want to have any contact at all, okay?
Fan Mingyu gave a fake smile, then immediately stood up and said to Lu Xianyu, "Brother Lu, what a coincidence!"
Fu Xinyu also stood up and reluctantly called out, "Brother Lu."
Shang Lin stood up as well, but he just smiled.
Lu Xianyu looked at Xu Feifei and said, "Aren't you going to introduce this student?"
Before Xu Feifei could speak, Fan Mingyu said first, "This is Shang Lin, the top student in our grade."
Lu Xianyu raised an eyebrow slightly and looked at Shang Lin seriously, saying, "So impressive!"
Shang Lin smiled slightly, "Just a coincidence."
Lu Xianyu was still looking at Shang Lin. "What a coincidence! What time was your movie?"
Fan Mingyu answered quickly, "Fifteen minutes left. Brother Lu, what about you guys?"
"It's time for us now, so we'll be going now. We'll talk again another time."
Fan Mingyu: "Okay."
Fu Xinyu: "Okay, goodbye."
Shang Lin still had a smiling face. Judging from this, this man must have found out about Xu Feifei's crazy idea! Otherwise, why would he be staring at him like that? It couldn't just be out of curiosity, could it?
Fan Mingyu had obviously thought of this as well, and quietly asked Shang Lin, "Lu Xianyu won't target you, will he? His family is a wealthy and powerful family in this city. People like us from small families only know him, and we can't even exchange a single word with him!"
Shang Lin said nonchalantly, "No, a man like him wouldn't even consider me."
Fan Mingyu was a little anxious, "How can you be sure? After all, he's six years older than Xu Feifei, there's a generation gap, okay? People our age are actually easier to get along with."
Shang Lin wanted to say, "Really, I don't know how. Even if I did, I could handle it. You don't need to worry."
But Fu Xinyu spoke first, "What are you two whispering about?"
Fan Mingyu quickly said, "It's nothing, it's almost time, let's go in."
Fu Xinyu immediately grabbed some popcorn and a sugary drink, "Let's go, let's go, I wonder how scary this horror movie is?"
Shang Lin really wanted to say, "Suspense and horror films usually focus on suspense, with horror just being a side effect."
However, saying this would be tantamount to spoiling the plot, which would be pointless. Besides, with such enthusiastic young people, how could I possibly dampen their enthusiasm?
However, when Shang Lin and his two companions entered, they were dumbfounded, because so far, there were only the three of them in the room. Fan Mingyu immediately laughed, "Isn't this what they call having the whole place to themselves?"
Shang Lin laughed along, "Yeah, mainly because we have a better grasp of the timeline." How many people would brave the cold to watch a midnight horror movie during the Lunar New Year?
Fu Xinyu felt a little awkward listening to Shang Lin, but there wasn't really anything wrong with it. As expected, the thought process of a top student was different from that of ordinary people.
However, their "wish" to book the entire theater was not fulfilled, because just as the movie started, two more people came to the back row. Due to the lighting, they couldn't tell whether the two people were male or female, or tall or short.
Of course, none of this mattered to them. Shang Lin and the other two had already started watching the movie seriously. As soon as the movie started, there was an old building with a gray or grayish-white background, which was particularly depressing.
This building is a dormitory building of a certain school. The students living inside are of different grades and have different academic backgrounds. Most importantly, everyone is busy but lacks the vitality that young people should have.
This was Shang Lin's first time seeing a movie, and he found it quite novel. However, he didn't like the oppressive atmosphere of the scenes. Just then, his phone beeped with a message notification, so he took it out to check it.
Xing Tian: Sect Master, where have you been? Why haven't you come home yet?
Shang Lin: I'm watching a movie with Fan Mingyu and Fu Xinyu.
Xing Tian: Surprised emoji! Oh my god, Sect Master, you actually went to see a movie?!
Shang Lin: Smiley face emoji, what's wrong with me watching a movie?
Xing Tian: I just felt that wasn't something you would do.
Shang Lin:?
Xing Tian: That doesn't suit your style at all. No, I should say, you actually waste time going out to have fun! When are you coming back? It's not safe this late. Who will pick you up?
Shang Lin: No need, the movie is only a third of the way through.
Xing Tian: So when the movie is almost over, who will you ask to pick you up?
Shang Lin: Okay, okay.
Xing Tian: Sect Master, have fun, bye-bye!
Shang Lin: Goodbye emoji.
After considering the end time, Shang Lin still sent a message to Hu Tangdi, reminding him to at least get Fan Mingyu and Fu Xinyu home safely, since they had watched a horror movie and didn't want them to be frightened. Who says only children are easily scared?
When Hu Tangdi received the message from Shang Lin, she was just as shocked as Xing Tian. She even confirmed it several times before agreeing to come and pick her up, otherwise she was really worried that she might have been deceived by some evil spirit.
Shang Lin looked at his phone, feeling both amused and exasperated. It was clear how important preconceived notions were. After checking the other messages and finding none that required a reply, he put his phone away and continued watching the movie.
At this point in the film, someone has already died, and the search for suspects has begun among the people in the dormitory building. The background environment and the accompanying music have a bit of a horror movie feel to them, and suspense is indeed the key element.
Fu Xinyu clearly noticed the problem as well, and lost interest, because this was completely different from the horror movies he was used to!
On the contrary, Fan Mingyu watched with great interest and even whispered to Shang Lin, "Who do you think is the murderer?"
