Chapter 173
After checking her appearance one more time, she took her purse and left the house in her car.
Last night, the two of them had arranged to meet at the mall and meet in front of the cinema complex a few minutes before the movie was going to start.
Seeing that there is still time before their appointment, Zhang Li Xue decided to walk around the mall to window shop. Then, she went to the cinema complex ten minutes before her meeting with Mu Zhen Yu.
As she approached the cinema, Zhang Li Xue was able to find Mu Zhen Yu from a distance.
Zhang Li Xue stood rooted at her spot.
She could not help but rethink of the matter that has been in her mind for these past few days.
Zhang Li Xue raised her hand and placed it on her heart.
Just as she had thought. Her heart did not flutter when she saw him.
.....
A faint smile curled on her lips as the thought came to her mind.
Just in time, Mu Zhen Yu raised his head. Their gazes met and Mu Zhen Yu waved his hand at her.
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Li Xue began to approach him. “Brother Zhen Yu, have you waited for too long?”
“No.” Mu Zhen Yu shook his head. “I only got here. Come on. Let’s go in. Do you want some popcorn and a drink?”
“Mmm... That would be great too.”
“Then. Wait here for a while. I will go and buy them first,” Mu Zhen Yu said. “Caramel popcorn and mineral water, right?”
Zhang Li Xue laughed. “That’s right.”
Fortunately, there were a lot of counters opened at the snacks station. Mu Zhen Yu went to queue for snacks and returned to Zhang Li Xue’s side in less than five minutes.
He passed the popcorn bucket to Zhang Li Xue and watched as the girl took a bite of a piece of popcorn. “How does it taste?”
“It’s sweet.”
Mu Zhen Yu smiled. He glanced at the screen and saw that it was time for them to enter. “Come on. Let’s go in.”
Zhang Li Xue trailed after him and entered the hall together. They found their seats and quickly sat down.
“It has been a few years since the last time we saw a movie together, hasn’t it?” Mu Zhen Yu spoke.
“Mhm... The last time we saw a movie together was in high school. Later, you moved away to G Country to pursue your study.”
There was a sad smile on Mu Zhen Yu’s face when he heard her words.
These days, he could feel that Zhang Li Xue had stayed the same, yet, she was not someone who he was familiar with. Mu Zhen Yu began to wonder if his decision to continue his study in G Country was a good one.
However, Mu Zhen Yu thought that he should not give up.
After years of separation, he still liked Zhang Li Xue.
Moreover... his reason to choose to pursue his study in G Country in the past was because of this girl.
He was aware that the male member of the Zhang family was making it hard for him to pursue this girl. Other than her troublesome little brother, there were also those triplets who would often appear each time that he wanted to spend time with Zhang Li Xue.
Although Zhang Li Xue often appeared very low-profile, Mu Zhen Yu was aware that her background was not that simple. The Zhang family might be involved in the hotel business. However, they had a few strong backers behind them.
Mu Zhen Yu decided to pursue his study in G Country to make himself a better man. He wanted to prove that he was worthy to stand by Zhang Li Xue’s side.
The lighting in the hall dimmed, hiding the look on Mu Zhen Yu’s face.
“It’s starting soon,” Zhang Li Xue whispered. She leaned comfortably in her seat and began to munch on her popcorn.
Mu Zhen Yu watched the girl beside him for a while. Then, he leaned over and whispered, “Let’s go for lunch together after the movie. I have something to say to you.”
Zhang Li Xue had long guessed that the reason Mu Zhen Yu had asked her out was that he had something to say to her. Therefore, she was not surprised when she heard his words.
“Alright.” Zhang Li Xue flashed a smile. “I also have something to say to you as well.”
There was a hint of surprise on Mu Zhen Yu’s face. He could not help but wonder just what Zhang Li Xue wanted to tell him.
However, he did not get to ponder this matter for a long time.
The movie started and the two of them began to focus on the screen.
The movie that Mu Zhen Yu had chosen was an action movie produced by NEXT Entertainment. The male lead looked dashing and the plot was flawless.
What the audience liked the most was the flawless effect in the movie. It could be seen that the post-production team had done such a good job.
The hint of romance in the movie made the audience satisfied. The leads had such good chemistry and it was not anything vulgar.
The theme song of the movie came out as the credit end rolled. The song was written and sung by a popular veteran singer, Huo Yun Chen.
Hearing the man’s voice and the lyrics made the audience feel touched. The song was very suitable for the movie.
As everyone began to leave the hall, Mu Zhen Yu turned to Zhang Li Xue and whispered, “Should we go now?”
“Oh.” Zhang Li Xue nodded. “Let’s go.”
The two of them exited the hall while discussing the movie together. As they finally arrived at the lounge area, Zhang Li Xue patted Mu Zhen Yu and spoke, “Brother Zhen Yu, I needed to make a quick stop at the restroom.”
Mu Zhen Yu turned in the direction of the restroom and nodded. “Alright. Go ahead. I’ll wait for you here.”
