Chapter 198 Tender and Chilly

The crowd swamped at Lu Jinye, standing in his way. The ticket taker was jaw-dropped at this sight!

Who is this movie star?

Why are the fans crazy over him?!

The people surrounding Lu Jinye had no idea who he was. But they were enthusiastically asking for a

photo and requested his signature anyway.

It was too late when Mu Zhi realized this. Lu Jinye had been completely fenced in by the crowd, and it

was a mission impossible to bring him out of what seemed like hundreds of bodies.

Regardless, Mu Zhi bit the bullet and squeezed through the crowd viciously. She ultimately managed to

seize Lu Jinye’s hand, pulling him away, and dashed towards the movie hall.

All she could do was to put all hopes on the ticket taker to block out the mysterious group of fans that

came out nowhere!

On the other hand, like an overly calm psychopath, there was no sign of anger on Lu Jinye’s face.

He was not in a rush, languidly heading into the hall.

“Hey hey, you guys, you need to get a ticket to get in here!”

Mu Zhi went through great lengths to finally accommodate Lu Jinye in the movie hall, but she could still

hear the bellowing coming from the ticket taker.

The movie was coming off the screen soon, so not many had purchased the ticket to the movie in the

first place. However, after the ordeal that just occurred, the tickets to the movie were almost sold out.

Many fans bought the tickets just to be able to share the movie hall with Lu Jinye.

The movie was almost starting when Mu Zhi and Lu Jinye found their seats in the hall, and they were

the only two inside.

However, little did they expect that it had barely been minutes before the hall was flooded, albeit mostly

by fangirls.

The usually-empty first row of the movie was also full at this moment!

Mu Zhi’s jaw… Almost dropped to the floor.

She scanned the area in awe and then said in shudders, “What the heck, this is too scary.”

Mu Zhi acknowledged that Lu Jinye was a handsome work of art. But she was certain that the women

who usually threw themselves at him were only doing it for his money.

But now… She was astounded.

Had she taken his looks for granted?

In the dimly lit movie hall, where the source of the light was only the movie screen itself, Mu Zhi stole a

glance at Lu Jinye.

He rocked his usual poise with a dash of smugness, not caring about what was happening around him.

Lu Jinye put up a pretentiously gullible front as he teased Mu Zhi, “What is it? Surprised by the power

of my charms?”

Mu Zhi silently plugged her mouth with a handful of popcorn.

The Titanic was a tear-jerking romance movie, where couples were supposed to engross themselves in

the story of Jack and Rose. But instead of feeling like Rose DeWitt Bukater, Mu Zhi felt like she was

Rose’s mother, Ruth.

The ladies who were lucky enough to secure a seat around Lu Jinye would intermittently brush past

him by pretending like they were going to the toilet, making Mu Zhi, or Ruth, the obstacle in their self-

imaginary love story with Lu Jinye.

Mu Zhi could take it no longer.

At her current age, it had been a while since she was struck by jealousy. Thanks to Lu Jinye, she had

relived the jealousy which she had not felt since she was a teenager.

In the past, when Mu Zhi and Lu Junnian were dating, they would frequently stumble upon juniors of

their college who confessed their love for him. She would later carefully handle her relationship with Lu

Junnian, afraid that he would be stolen away from her.

But Lu Jinye was even worse.

In the end, she decided that she had enough.

Around forty minutes into the movie, Mu Zhi dragged Lu Jinye off his seat and pulled him out of the

movie hall.

It did not seem to bother Lu Jinye. It appeared that he had enjoyed it.

After getting into the car with Mu Zhi, he acted like a naïve man, “What is it? Why aren’t we finishing

the movie? Are you worried that my charms are too potent?”

Mu Zhi massaged her temples to soothe her light headache, then peered at him, “Why did you

suddenly ask to see the movie? Did you just want to flex your charms?”

Lu Jinye pouted his lips.

“I just want to go on a date with you, but… I didn’t expect to screw it up.”

He said in a genuine attitude.

Mu Zhi almost believed in Lu Jinye.

She was a little touched by his gesture.

Upon pondering briefly, she said, “Then let’s move our date back home. We shall see a movie when we

get home, and then have dinner after.”

She couldn’t bear to risk dining out with Lu Jinye anymore.

Who knew what else would happen on an ordinary date with Lu Jinye?

Gazing outside the car window, Lu Jinye had no quarrel with her suggestion.

Thus, he nodded in agreement and brought Mu Zhi home.

Mu Zhi searched for a movie, then played it in the TV room.

The sound system at Lu Jinye’s TV room was superior to that of the movie hall. The experience was

comparable to that of IMAX.

Unfortunately, there was a fly in the ointment. Mu Zhi was confident that she had chosen a romance

movie. However, Lu Jinye had the uncut version at home, and there were plenty of suggestive scenes.

Mu Zhi was responsible for the movie selection.

During the steamy sections of the movie, Mu Zhi instantly flushed red.

Her face turned even redder when Lu Jinye glanced at her with a playful smirk.

She cleared her throat and defended herself, “I haven’t seen the movie before. I didn’t know that these

scenes are a part of it.”

In response, Lu Jinye uttered something that almost made her choke on her saliva. “It doesn’t matter

even if you have. You don’t need to explain yourself. After all, you’ve witnessed my charms, it’s normal

that you want to surmount me.”

What on… Earth?!

Surmount!

Mu Zhi could feel her ears burning.

When she turned to look at Lu Jinye, she found him staring back at her affectionately.

“Umm… Do you feel warm? Let me bring us two glasses of iced watermelon juice.”

Mu Zhi could feel the awkwardness in the air. She hastily stood up and prepared to bolt.

However, Lu Jinye seized her hand and then breathed into her ear, “You never used to lay these subtle

groundworks before having your desires fulfilled.”

It was purely a misunderstanding.

No groundwork was laid to anything whatsoever.

Mu Zhi felt the need to explain, but Lu Jinye had leaned in too close. She could feel the strength

draining out of her body.

The warmth of his breath fanned the surface of her skin.

Mu Zhi was almost touching Lu Jinye’s lips when she cranked around.

His lips were tender and chilly.

Just what she needed to quench the heat of her body in this instance.

Before she could make a move on him, Lu Jinye had already started pouncing on her.
