“Right, right…”

“I was just thirsty, Miss Zhao is keeping me company to share an order.”

“He ordered two milk teas and a serving of fries, which happens to be a combo!¹‘

Su Xuan explained as he took a seat beside Zhao Ruoxi.

Seeing Zhao Ruoxi still slightly miffed, he quickly continued, “I bought ‘Interstellar Canal.’ They say this movie has a strong sense of technology.”

“It’s perfect for us to watch.”

After this remark, Zhao Ruoxi’s anger dissipated. She had only been feeling a bit shy to begin with.

Fortunately, Su Xuan was concerned that he might come across as too eccentric and scare away his potential future wife. So, he adjusted himself quickly.

“I’ve heard from my colleagues that it’s pretty good.”

“But since I haven’t seen it myself, I don’t know how well they’ve done with the special effects.”

“If they’ve done a good job, that’s great. If not…”

As Zhao Ruoxi spoke, she raised her head, a hint of amusement in her eyes. “Then your ticket would be a waste.”

After all, when it came to watching a movie, especially a 3D film on the big screen, the special effects were what mattered most. This was especially true for the sci-fi genre they had chosen. If the movie’s special effects weren’t good, watching it would be a waste of time.

“We’ll see when we get there.”

Su Xuan shrugged, still unsure.

After all, he wasn’t the kind of person who was overly particular.

“If it’s not good, we can always leave and buy another ticket.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ruoxi immediately gave him an annoyed look.

“If it’s not good, we’ll just have to tough it out. We can’t keep buying tickets.

What if the next one is also not good? You’d be wasting money.”

As Zhao Ruoxi spoke, she sighed in resignation.

“You really…”

“Money isn’t an issue!”

Seeing the young woman ramble on, Su Xuan lowered his head and didn’t say anything more.

He couldn’t just admit that he had intentionally said that sentence just to get Zhao Ruoxi to chat with him. After all, if two people wanted to get closer, they needed to do things that would bring them closer.

Considering they often went several days or even more than ten days without seeing each other, just chatting on their phones wouldn’t be enough.

So, he felt that he needed to find an opportunity to see if he could bring Zhao Ruoxi closer to him.

Clearly, his approach was working.

Although the movie they were going to see still had some time before it started, they were both good at chatting. During this time, they talked about this and that, and even when the movie ticket reminder came up, they were both a bit caught off guard.

It was Su Xuan who suddenly stopped talking between them.

It was only then that they realized… was the movie already checking tickets?

Upon realizing this, Su Xuan and Zhao Ruoxi exchanged a glance, feeling a bit embarrassed.

This… they had been chatting so much that they almost forgot to pay attention to the time.

Fortunately, the movie theater’s ticket-checking announcement was quite loud.

“Let’s go.”

Su Xuan and Zhao Ruoxi shared an awkward look and then both chuckled.

Subsequently, Su Xuan picked up the remaining half of the fries, holding an iced tea in his other hand, and said to Zhao Ruoxi.

Zhao Ruoxi, holding the tickets, walked ahead.

“All right.”

In fact, their choice of movie was spot on; it was really enjoyable.

Even the sense of technology inside was top-notch.

Especially when they soared through the starry sky, wearing 3D glasses, they even felt as if they were inside that space themselves.

But there was one small issue…

They had chatted so energetically just before the movie started, and Su Xuan had consumed quite a few drinks.

Nature called.

No matter how good the plot was, it was hard to resist.

Su Xuan didn’t hesitate; he told Zhao Ruoxi and left the theater.

After washing his hands, Su Xuan finally felt alive again.

Darn it!

Next time, he thought, he would be a fool to buy drinks during a movie!

Su Xuan contemplated this as he was about to leave.

Unexpectedly, he paused for a moment, instinctively looked up, and stared at the mirror in front of him.

Actually, he was staring at the radar projected onto the mirror.

There was a red dot on the radar, slowly approaching him…

Su Xuan watched that red dot.

In his mind, there was only one thought: he just wanted to arrange a date with his blind date, so why did he have to be called in for overtime?

Darn it.

Su Xuan sighed.

He was in a state of relaxation now, and he decided not to join in on the commotion.

As long as this guy didn’t enter the cinema, he would call his colleagues at the police station to come and arrest him…

Before he could implement this idea, Su Xuan saw the person on the radar stepping through the cinema’s entrance.

Su Xuan:…

You just want to make me work overtime, don’t you?

Su Xuan closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

When he opened his eyes, they were filled with anger, and he walked directly towards the counter.

Muttering to himself:

“Darn it!”

“When there’s a way to heaven, you don’t go; when there’s no door to hell, you come barging in…”

“Disturbing my date…”

‘Til make sure you regret this, you jerk!”

At the cinema’s front desk, Zheng Kang took out the cinema card, glanced at the display screen behind, and selected a movie.

“This one, please. Give me the next available show.”

“Sure, sir!”

As the cashier at the cinema spoke, she started to select the showing for him. Zheng Kang was about to say something when suddenly, an arm appeared on his shoulder. Following that, a voice he didn’t recognize, but with a somewhat familiar tone, spoke.

“What a coincidence, you’re here to watch a movie too?”

Zheng Kang decided to withhold his initial remark, looked at the arm on his shoulder, and then at the approaching Su Xuan.

Frowning with confusion, he finally asked, “I’m sorry, but may I ask who you are?”

Su Xuan knew that the other person didn’t recognize him, and it was him who had approached.

But…

Does it matter?

It doesn’t matter!

“You don’t recognize me?”

“Come on, today’s perfect. I brought my girlfriend along, so don’t buy your ticket yet.”

“Last time, you said you wanted to see what my girlfriend looks like, right?”

“You even mentioned that I should treat you to a meal…”

“Just perfect!”

“After the movie, we’re planning to grab a bite. How about you join us?”

“Come to think of it, it’s been a long time since we, as buddies, met…”

As he spoke, Su Xuan started pulling Zheng Kang inside…

Initially, Zheng Kang felt it was a bit out of line for Su Xuan to suddenly appear and get so close. He even felt the urge to push his hand away in annoyance. However, after hearing Su Xuan mention “my girlfriend,” Zheng Kang, who had a penchant for other people’s wives or girlfriends, suddenly held back his words. For him, even if it was someone else’s girlfriend, it gave him a peculiar sense of excitement…

So, he took his movie card and smiled at Su Xuan.

“Old friend, it’s you!”

“Sure, it’s been a while. Let’s catch up…”

As for not recognizing this guy at all…?

Who cares!

They’re acquainted now, aren’t they?
