Accidentally provoking the spring tide

Chapter 64. My wife will mind.
Perhaps because of the ambiguous atmosphere just now, Jiang Jixu felt that there was another meaning behind those words.

She touched her burning face and wondered if she had been reading too many of the novels Bai Xiaoxiao had recommended to her lately. How could her thoughts have taken such a turn without her noticing, making her feel all gloomy?

……

After dinner, the two went to the movie theater.

Jiang Jixu can be considered a semi-senior film enthusiast.

I look at basically all kinds of products.

But because she didn't know the other person's preferences, she chose a re-released classic romance movie.

Lu Lishen went to pick up the movie tickets, and when he came back, he was carrying popcorn and a can of cola.

Jiang Jixu was stunned for a moment, then quickly got up to take it.

"Why did you buy so many?"

"Isn't this a standard part of watching a movie?"

The dim lights in the cinema shone on the man's smooth and handsome profile, and the interplay of light and shadow revealed a touch of gentleness.

He gently avoided the girl's outstretched hand.

"It's a bit cold, let me hold it for you."

Jiang Jixu's gaze fell on the glass wall covered with water droplets, and if he listened carefully, he could indeed hear the sound of ice cubes colliding inside the glass.

She pursed her lips, lowered her head, and rummaged through her bag.

Lu Lishen watched as she took out a light blue handkerchief from her bag, folded it into a long strip, and wrapped it around the cup of cola.

The girl admired her masterpiece, her eyes crinkling with joy.

"This way, your hands won't feel cold when you hold it."

The man gazed at the few white petals embroidered on the handkerchief, a slight smile playing on his lips, his voice deep and magnetic.

"Yes, it's much better now. Madam is very clever."

Jiang Jixu's ears turned red, and she glanced at her phone to cover it up.

"It's time to go in."

"it is good."

Lu Lishen followed behind her with graceful steps. His black coat accentuated his tall and straight figure, and every move he made exuded a cool and noble aura, like the moon in the sky or a lotus in the snow, unapproachable by anyone.

But the two cups of cola and a bucket of popcorn carried in those well-defined cartoon hands instantly brought people back to the mundane world.

It adds a touch of everyday life and realism.

There were quite a few girls around peeking, and some were even taking pictures with their phones.

Jiang Jixu could faintly hear the whispers of conversation.

"Wow, he's so handsome! Is he a new artist signed by some entertainment company?"

"Never heard of her, but her proportions are amazing! Those long legs... ahhh, I'm in love!!"

She thought to herself, no wonder Jiang Wang always complained about Lu Lishen being a "womanizer" after they went out together.

However, with such a face, it would be difficult not to attract unwanted attention.

The thought had barely crossed Jiang Jixu's mind when he heard a nervous and charming female voice behind him.

Hello, sir!

She paused for a moment, then turned around.

A girl stood next to Lu Lishen, holding her phone, her eyes sparkling as she looked at the man, and said shyly and nervously, "I... I want to be friends with you, can you give me your contact information?"

Jiang Jixu's gaze met Lu Lishen's in mid-air.

She hesitated for a moment.

Should I leave now?
However, before Jiang Jixu could make a move, she heard a man's cold and deep voice in her ear.

"I'm sorry, I'm married."

The girl who had approached him paused, her gaze unconsciously falling on his fingers.

Lu Lishen lowered his eyes and spoke in a much gentler tone: "My wife and I just got married, and we haven't had time to pick out our wedding rings yet."

"Oh... I see. Well, I'm sorry to bother you..."

The girl's cheeks flushed red, and she lowered her head, trying to leave in a panic.

But the man called out to her.

"Please wait a moment."

The girl stopped in her tracks, looking bewildered, and turned to look at him: "?"

Lu Lishen was polite and courteous.

"Could you please delete some of the photos on my phone? My wife will mind."

As he spoke his last sentence, he softened completely, as if pink bubbles would float around him the next second. The girl's face instantly turned bright red, seemingly even more excited than if she had gotten his contact information, and she said rapidly, "Okay, okay! I'll delete it right away."

As he spoke, he picked up his phone and fiddled with it for a while, then turned the screen around to prove his point.

"Deleted everything, including recently deleted files!"

Lu Lishen said gently, "Thank you."

"You're welcome!" the girl clenched her fist and said loudly, "I wish you and your wife a long and happy life together!"

The man paused for a moment, then his expression softened completely, and his voice seemed to be filled with honey: "Thank you, we will."

Then, he turned around and walked towards Jiang Jixu, who was standing there in a daze not far away.

"Mrs. Lu?"

Jiang Jixu snapped out of her daze, her cheeks burning, and after a long pause, she could only manage to utter "you".

Lu Lishen sighed, seemingly unintentionally:

"If this situation happens again, it will be a bit troublesome to explain without a ring, and other people may not believe it."

The man lowered his eyes, staring intently at her, a hint of a smile playing on his lips.

"so……"

When is Mrs. Lu planning to get me a replacement ring?

Jiang Jixu was somewhat dazed.

Lu Lishen's words disrupted all her plans.

She gazed at the man's long, slender, jade-like fingers and nodded absently.

Indeed, those hands would look great with rings on them...

While he was still in a daze, Lu Lishen had already freed one hand, palm facing up, but his face still had a calm and indifferent expression.

He said, "If we don't have a ring, we'll use something else as a substitute."

Jiang Jixu felt the resentful gaze directed at her by the man, and surprisingly, she understood its meaning—

If you had been holding my hand, that wouldn't have happened.

The girl remained silent for a while.

Take his hand.

The moment their palms touched, Jiang Jixu's breath hitched slightly.

She could clearly feel the heat emanating from his skin, a warmth that was also somewhat scorching.

Lu Lishen's lips curled up imperceptibly.

"Let's go."

After checking the tickets, Jiang Jixu held the ticket stub in his hand and joked, "Should we keep this as a souvenir? After all, it's the first time we've watched a movie together."

Lu Lishen raised an eyebrow and said slowly, "So Madam values ​​our time together so much."

"..."

Jiang Jixu stared at him in disbelief and asked sincerely, "Have you ever been beaten up?"

The man lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said seriously:

"I'm a good student in the teacher's eyes, how could I get into a fight?"

Jiang Jixu looked at him and couldn't help but complain:
Just how thick-skinned are you?

Lu Lishen humbly replied, "Just average, third in the world."

The two looked at each other, and after a long while, they both burst out laughing.

"Let's go, the movie is about to start."

The man's voice carried a faint smile.

"Ah."

Jiang Jixu nodded, leading Lu Lishen forward while checking the theater on the ticket stub in the dim light, "The third theater... is over here."

Lu Lishen lowered his eyes and looked at the two hands that were naturally clasped together.

Fingertips moved slightly.

I wanted to use more force, but I restrained myself.

He gazed at the girl's retreating figure, his eyes gradually deepening, his long eyelashes trembling slightly.

Wait, wait, wait...
