Chapter 278 - 278, Cinema PK
She sat there, engrossed in her phone…
“Baby Wanwan!”
Su Wanwan was taken aback and quickly looked up.
Standing before her was none other than Mo Weiyi.
No longer reliant on crutches, she was wearing a long dress patterned with marigolds, a light tasseled shawl over her shoulders. Her makeup was exquisite, and her curly hair hung loosely over her shoulders. She looked stunning.
“Are you here to watch a movie with your boss, Mr. Huo? How coincidental, Xiaobai and I are also here to watch a movie. Let’s sit together! Aren’t you not a fan of romance movies?” Mo Weiyi approached and sat down next to her.
“Ah?” Su Wanwan looked puzzled, “What romantic movie?”
“Aren’t you here to watch ‘Hello, Zhihua’?”
At this moment, Huo Jingshen came over, only to see Mo Weiyi standing there, eliciting an involuntary twitch of his eyebrows.
“Mr. Huo!” Mo Weiyi greeted him jubilantly.
Huo Jingshen raised his eyebrows, “Your leg healed?”
And he thought to himself: she recovered this quickly? Does this mean she’ll keep meddling in my wife and I’s business?
Mo Weiyi, unaware of his thoughts, cheerfully replied, “Thank you for your concern, Mr. Huo. I had my cast removed a few days ago, but I still need to avoid strenuous activity.”
Casually nodding, Huo Jingshen turned to Su Wanwan, “Let’s go.”
“Wait!” Mo Weiyi called out, “Are you going to watch ‘Hello, Zhihua’? Let’s watch it together.”
Huo Jingshen swiftly responded, “No.”
He thought about how it was bad enough having her linger over his wife as it was, and today was a rare opportunity for him and his wife to spend time alone together. Hecouldn’t allow her to interrupt their plan.
However…
“What tickets did you buy then? I’ll have Xiaobai return ours and purchase tickets for whatever you guys are watching.” Thinking she was being considerate, Mo Weiyi didn’t notice Huo Jingshen’s face darken at her words.
He replied, “That won’t be necessary.”
“No trouble at all.” After she said that, Mo Weiyi immediately took out her phone to make a call, “Xiaobai, we won’t be watching ‘Hello, Zhihua’ anymore. We’ll switch to another movie, wait a moment.”
She put down her phone, “Mr. Huo, what movie did you buy tickets for?”
Huo Jingshen didn’t want to disclose.
“Mr. Huo?”
With that, Su Wanwan voiced the question, “What did you buy?”
Reluctantly, Huo Jingshen showed them the tickets.
“Evil Dormitory Night Horror.”
His initial plan was to scare Su Wanwan so much that she wouldn’t dare return to the dormitory again…
“What’s the seat number?” Mo Weiyi asked again.
Huo Jingshen thought to himself ‘Why so many questions!1
but didn’t want to answer.“Mr. Huo?”
Su Wanwan tutted, “Weiyi is asking you a question.”
Huo Jingshen gave her a cold stare.
What a naive girl!
Su Wanwan looked confused at his frosty stare.
Mo Weiyi quickly called out to the person on the other end of the call,” ‘Evil Dormitory Night Horror,’ Xiaobai, buy two tickets.”
After hanging up, she started to worry, “Will it be really scary? I can’t handle horror movies.”
Huo Jingshen scoffed, “Then why did you buy it?”
“That’s because I want to watch it with Wanwan,” Mo Weiyi replied in a sweet, pampered tone that usually left men weak-kneed. However, it didn’t work on Huo Jingshen, who maintained a grim expression and curt responses.
His reply was, ” I don’ t want to watch it with you two.”
By now, even the oblivious Mo Weiyi could sense Huo Jingshen’s sour mood.
Feeling awkward, she said, “Mr. Huo, come on, it’s such a coincidence that we’re all here together and we’re all friends…”
“Okay, okay.” Su Wanwan quickly pulled Huo Jingshen aside, “Didn’t you buy popcorn and soda?”
“Why buy that junk food? It’s unhealthy, you should eat less.” Huo Jingshen responded with a parental tone.
Su Wanwan rolled her eyes, “How boring it would be to just sit and watch a movie.”
It’s sure to be more fun with snacks and drinks… who knew…
“It won’t be boring.” Huo Jingshen lowered his voice, trying to convey something more, “There are plenty of things to do, baby. Want to try them with me, hmm?”
He had purposely picked the furthest row and the innermost seat so he could engage in various activities with his baby.
Su Wanwan,
Try your sister!
Pervert!
When they entered the theater and had just settled down in their seats, Mo Weiyi came over with a tall, aloof man in tow. “That’s great, there’s no one next to you guys. We’U sit here, it saves us the trouble of swapping seats.”
Su Wanwan cheerfully agreed, “Sure, sure.”
Huo Jingshen,
What a pair of dimwits!
**
So, when the movie started, Huo Jingshen was forced to sit by the wall in the innermost part of the row. Su Wanwan sat next to him, and next to her was Mo Weiyi, with Xiao Yebai on the outermost edge.
Looking around, the theater was indeed full of couples, and their reasons for being there were not entirely for watching the movie.
As the movie began, Huo Jingshen leaned back and crossed his arms, waiting for his darling Su Wanwan to cry out and tremble in fear, eventually seeking refuge in his arms.
However…
Compared to the sporadic screams filling the cinema, it was eerily silent next to him, void of any reaction!
About ten minutes later, he turned his head and saw Su Wanwan leaning back with her eyes closed, fast asleep.
Huo Jingshen:
As expected, he couldn’t count on this girl to react like other women!
He reached out to pinch her nose but was interrupted…
“Ahhhhhhhhhh!” A hysterical scream filled the theater.
The screams of the crowd escalated, echoing around the room.
Startled, Huo Jingshen paused, and Su Wanwan instantly woke up.
“It’s so scary, Xiaobai, I’m scared…” Mo Weiyi was clutching Xiao Yebai’s arm, burying her entire face into it and trembling under her shawl.
