Accidentally provoking the spring tide

Chapter 65. There Will Be No Next Time.
The theater was quite crowded, mostly with young couples.

Jiang Jixu led Lu Lishen to their seats, where they happened to find a young couple kissing passionately, oblivious to everyone else.

She felt a little embarrassed, but she could only bite the bullet and sit down, trying her best not to look over there.

"Want some water?"

In the dim light, the man's voice sounded particularly suggestive, as if he had whispered those words in her ear.

The thought flashed through his mind, and whether it was psychological or not, Jiang Jixu felt a slight itch on his earlobe, as if something was gently brushing against it.

She couldn't help but raise her hand and rub it.

Lu Lishen saw the girl's actions.

"what happened?"

Jiang Jixu composed himself and said, "It's nothing."

The image appeared on the big screen.

The movie begins.

The young couple kissing nearby also stopped and watched quietly.

This is not the first time Jiang Jixu has watched this film.

But each time she revisits it, she gains different insights.

Watching little Julie use every method to get close to Bryce, Jiang Jixu couldn't help but think of his past self.

Like little Julie, she clumsily and stubbornly followed behind Ji Yanci.

The difference is that Bryce had actually fallen in love with Julie without realizing it all along. At the end of the movie, the boy made changes for the girl, while she never received any respect or love from Ji Yanci.

Jiang Jixu lowered his eyes and unconsciously turned the straw of his cola.

The movie ended, and white subtitles scrolled across the black screen.

Lu Lishen turned his head to the side.

The girl in the couple next to them had already started crying her eyes out halfway through the video, and the boy was gently comforting her.

Meanwhile, on their side—

Lu Lishen narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at Jiang Jixu, who was staring blankly at the ground.

"Miss Jiang, are you planning to watch the next show?"

"Then I need to go buy a ticket first."

Jiang Jixu snapped out of her reverie: "Sorry, I was daydreaming."

She stood up, straightened her clothes, and then picked up the trash beside her: "Let's go."

Lu Lishen's eyes were half-closed, and his bangs hung down, making it impossible to see the expression on his face.

"Ah."

Stepping out of the cinema, a cool breeze cleared Jiang Jixu's mind somewhat, and he also noticed the unusual behavior of the people around him.

Before she could ask, she heard someone calling her name.

Jiang Jixu looked in the direction of the sound and saw a familiar face.

He's a rich young master who usually hangs out with Lin Feng and Ji Yanci's group; his name is Wu Ze.

The man had a female companion in his arms. When he saw Jiang Jixu looking over, he raised an eyebrow and smiled, "I thought I had mistaken you for someone else."

"What, Miss Jiang, you're here to watch a movie too?"

Jiang Jixu nodded slightly, as if to greet him.

Wu Zechao looked around: "Why are you alone? Where's Ci Ge? Didn't he come with you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Jixu suddenly felt the atmosphere around him drop.

She paused, then subconsciously turned her head to look at Lu Lishen's smooth profile. His sparse eyebrows and eyes appeared even more aloof and cold under the streetlights.

As if sensing the girl's gaze, he looked down at her.

A faint shadow hung beneath his long eyelashes, and the aloofness and indifference in his dark pupils were forcibly suppressed when he met Jiang Jixu's gaze.

His tone was as calm as ever: "What's wrong?"

But Jiang Jixu sensed something was wrong.

Calmness is just a facade; the real lava lies beneath the frost.

"Miss Jiang, aren't you going to introduce her?"

Wu Ze's gaze subtly swept over Lu Lishen.

In fact, he had noticed the man standing next to Jiang Jixu from the very beginning.

After all, the other person's aura was too strong; he couldn't ignore him even if he wanted to. He just pretended not to see him, wanting to see what kind of relationship this man had with Jiang Jixu.

In fact, Wu Ze had a vague answer in his heart.

This is the time to go to the movies with someone of the opposite sex.

I understand everything I understand.

He just couldn't believe it.

This is Jiang Jixu!
Jiang Jixu, who had been chasing after Ji Yanci for over ten years, was someone Ji Yanci could send to fly abroad overnight to see.

How could she possibly go to the movies with another man behind Ji Yanci's back?
This is really incredible.

Wu Ze didn't believe it.

Before Jiang Jixu could answer, he chuckled and teased, "I heard from Lin Feng that you and Ci-ge had a fight recently?"

"You've known Ci Ge for so many years, you know his temper. You can only appease him. If you just soften your tone and say a few words of coaxing, this matter will be over, right?"

"Young couples may quarrel in bed, but they should make up before they get out of bed. Don't go too far and hurt your relationship, or you'll regret it later."

As he spoke, his man gave Lu Lishen a meaningful look.

Clearly, they were using the other party as a tool for Jiang Jixu to spite Ji Yanci.

"How about this, I'll go all the way and arrange a meeting for you. I'll call Brother Ci over, and the two of you can have a good talk. There's nothing that can't be overcome..."

As Wu Ze spoke, he took out his phone to send a message.

Suddenly, a girl's cool and calm voice rang in his ears.

"No need, Ji Yanci and I have already ended things."

Wu Ze almost dropped his phone.

"You, what did you say?"

He swallowed hard, forgetting even his female companion, and chuckled dryly, "Ha, I must have misheard! Don't worry, I'll call Brother Ci right now!"

Suddenly, a hand with distinct knuckles reached out from the side and pressed down on his phone.

Wu Ze frowned, looked at Lu Lishen in front of him, and clicked his tongue: "Who the hell are you? Let go of me!"

Lu Lishen's eyes were as black as ink, and his voice was calm.

"Didn't you hear what she said?"

"She and Ji Yanci have broken up."

"Damn it! Whether this is over or not is none of your business, you pretty boy, bastard!" Wu Ze cursed. "Let go! If you don't let go, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Lu Lishen raised an eyebrow, a hint of arrogant arrogance emanating from his eyes: "You're welcome?"

His other hand, which was hanging down, suddenly tightened.

But the moment I lifted it up, it was gently grasped by a warm hand.

Lu Lishen froze.

He looked down at Jiang Jixu, his Adam's apple bobbed, and the fierceness in his eyes vanished instantly. He looked incredibly obedient and called out "Sister" in a slightly aggrieved tone.

The speed at which he changed his expression left Wu Ze, who was standing to the side sensing danger and tense all over, dumbfounded!

"No, you pretty boy, why are you still—"

Has this person practiced Sichuan opera face-changing?!
So good at pretending!

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Jixu's light, cool voice rang out.

"Wu Ze, Ji Yanci and I have indeed broken up."

"But--"

Jiang Jixu interrupted him, a chilling glint in her round almond-shaped eyes.

"Furthermore, the gigolo you mentioned is my husband. We are already married. Please show him some respect in the future."

The girl showed no mercy, coldly replying, "If there's a next time, I won't be polite to you."

"let's go."

After saying that, she took Lu Lishen's hand and turned to leave.

Wu Ze was left standing there, stunned and bewildered in the wind.
