"Want some popcorn?"
Yu Yunzhi and her group arrived a little later. By the time they got to the movie theater, almost everyone in their showing had already gone in.
There were still a few scattered people outside, probably waiting for other events, but no one paid attention to Yu Yunzhi and his companion.
The enclosed space was filled with the aroma of popcorn. On the way here, Yu Yunzhi glanced at the popcorn stand no less than ten times, which Shao Wenyan naturally noticed.
"I want to eat..." Yu Yunzhi nodded. It smelled really good, and popcorn was the perfect accompaniment to watching a movie.
She just had to wear a mask; she was afraid of being recognized if she took it off.
Without saying a word, Shao Wenyan went straight to the sales area when he heard Yu Yunzhi say he wanted to eat, and brought back a bucket of popcorn and a cup of cola.
I also picked up the movie ticket for "The Banquet Ends".
Yu Yunzhi was happy to see the popcorn, "What a pity, I can only look at it and not eat it..."
"Why?"
"It would be terrible if I took off my mask and someone recognized me. Last time, I was recognized because I was greedy for food." Yu Yunzhi's tone was full of regret, and he forced himself to turn his head away from the popcorn as if he were going to his death.
Last time was alright, it was on the street and the crowds weren't so dense. Now it's a movie theater, the population density is low, and it's with Shao Wenyan. If someone recognizes us, that would be terrible.
“Zhizhi, I booked the tickets for the very corner.” Shao Wenyan turned the little girl’s head, stuffed the popcorn she had been longing for into her arms, and coaxed her gently, “It’s very dark inside, no one will recognize us.”
Shao Wenyan knew Yu Yunzhi's concerns, so he took that into account when booking the tickets, choosing the most secluded corner seats.
Actually, he was quite... um... looking forward to his relationship being exposed...
He wanted everyone to know that Yu Yunzhi had a boyfriend, and that he was her boyfriend, so that no one could covet her anymore.
Otherwise, those boys would always try to get close to his Zhizhi and fawn over her, and there were quite a few of them, which made Shao Wenyan feel a sense of crisis.
However, for the sake of Yu Yunzhi's career, now is not the best time to go public.
If he could, he really wanted to tell the whole world that he belonged to Yu Yunzhi and that Yu Yunzhi was his girlfriend.
Yu Yunzhi was skeptical, but still dared not eat it. He held the popcorn in his arms and followed Shao Wenyan into the theater.
It was dark inside. Shao Wenyan walked ahead, holding Yu Yunzhi's wrist. There were also whispers of the audience around them.
When Yu Yunzhi and his group went in, the room was almost full, with only a few seats left.
Shao Wenyan bought tickets for two seats in the very last row, in the corner, and they even entered through the front door of the theater. This meant that they had to walk a long way around the theater to get to their seats.
As she walked, Yu Yunzhi kept her head down the whole time, her heart pounding in her chest. She could hear her heart pounding, afraid of being recognized.
Shao Wenyan appeared much more composed, steadily holding Yu Yunzhi's hand, and even apologized when he accidentally bumped into someone's foot.
It was later confirmed that Yu Yunzhi had obviously overthought things, because no one who passed by paid attention to the two young couples who arrived late. Even the person who apologized to Shao Wenyan just casually replied that it was okay and then left it at that.
It was dark inside, and everyone was anxiously waiting for the movie to start.
By the time they finally got to their seats, the screen had just lit up, but it was just an advertisement before the movie started; the actual movie hadn't started yet.
Shao Wenyan didn't let Yu Yunzhi sit next to anyone else, so that it would be easier for her to eat popcorn later.
Sitting next to Shao Wenyan was a group of four or five boys who had come to see the movie together. Judging from their conversation, they were probably high school students.
The movie commercials weren't over yet, and the group of boys were huddled together, whispering about how much of their winter break homework they had finished.
Shao Wenyan stopped paying attention and focused his attention back on Yu Yunzhi. After confirming that the surrounding light was dark enough, he removed the mask from Yu Yunzhi's face.
Yu Yunzhi was holding up her mask with one hand and stuffing popcorn into her mouth with the other. It was a bit inconvenient, but at least she could eat.
When her mask was suddenly removed, she looked like a startled rabbit and quickly covered her face with both hands. One cheek was still puffed out, and she hadn't finished chewing the popcorn in her mouth.
How could he be so bold?!
"It's okay, baby, no one's watching this side." Shao Wenyan picked up a piece of popcorn and held it to Yu Yunzhi's lips.
Seeing the popcorn being fed to him, Yu Yunzhi had no choice but to open his mouth and take it in, his lips accidentally brushing against his fingers.
He fed her one, and she ate one.
Just like she would scout out her surroundings before doing something bad, Yu Yunzhi looked around and, finding that no one was paying attention to her, dared to take the popcorn bucket and slowly start eating.
"It's starting! It's starting!"
The quiet conversations around them instantly ceased, and even the little boys sitting next to Shao Wenyan sat up straight, their eyes fixed on the big screen.
They fought tooth and nailed to get these movie tickets! Of course they're going to enjoy the movie!
As the familiar opening theme music accompanied the appearance of the film's theatrical release license, "The Banquet Ends" officially began.
It must be said that Director Yang has some skill; the film immediately grabbed the audience's attention at the beginning.
The film should use flashbacks; Yu Yunzhi guessed she might not appear until the middle.
Why hasn't Yu Yunzhi come out yet?
