I found a cell phone from ten years ago.

Chapter 52 Double Eleven for Two
At around 5 pm, Li Xu and Xiao Yu walked out of a McDonald's.

"It's still early, why don't we go see a movie?" Li Xu glanced at Xiao Yu and suggested.

Xiao Yu listened, shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's talk about it next time. I have something to do at the Student Union tonight, so I have to go back early."

Xiao Yu is an English major, specializing in translation. She is not only the monitor of her English Class 4, but also a key figure in the Normal University Student Union.

According to Yu Enxin's insider, the boy who pursued Xiao Yu the most was the vice president of the student union.

"Today is Singles' Day. Do you really have the heart to let me spend the holiday alone? Can't you have some pity on a single person like me?"

Li Xu deliberately made a pitiful expression and said to Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but burst out laughing.

She really didn't expect that Li Xu could do such a thing.

After stopping her laughter, she said jokingly, "Then why don't you find a girlfriend as soon as possible? Then you won't have to spend the holidays alone."

Just when Li Xu was wondering what she meant by this sentence.

Xiao Yu glanced at him again and said with a smile, "Then you can only watch one more movie. You can't make any more requests."

"Okay, let's go quickly!" Li Xu said with a "surprised" smile.

Li Xu found a nearby movie theater, which was also on Zhujiang Road, just like the McDonald's they had eaten at before.

Entering the cinema, Li Xu looked at the movie posters on the big screen and turned to Xiao Yu, "What movie do you want to see?"

"I'll listen to you." Xiao Yu said with a slightly playful smile.

Li Xu couldn't help but look at her with amusement, as this was his catchphrase today.

"How about watching My Sassy Girl 2?" He chose a newly released romance movie.

When watching movies with girls, it's either a horror movie or a romance movie. Given Xiao Yu's personality, a horror movie probably won't work, so let's just choose a romance movie.

Li Xu first went to the ticket office to buy two movie tickets, and then went to buy a large bucket of popcorn and two glasses of freshly squeezed juice.

After returning, he handed Xiao Yu some popcorn and a glass of juice, then said, "The show will start in less than 20 minutes. Why don't we check our tickets and go in first?"

Xiao Yu seemed to suddenly remember something and said with a hint of regret, "If I had known I would come to see a movie, I should have brought my student ID. Student tickets are half price."

After hearing this, Li Xu didn't know what to say.

You're a rich girl, aren't you? The taxi issue before was fine, but why are you even calculating the cost of a movie?

As if sensing Li Xu's thoughts, Xiao Yu glanced at him and continued, "No matter how much money you have, you can't squander it carelessly. You still have to save where you can."

Li Xu smiled and made an expression of being taught.

He had previously gifted Xiao Yu a stuffed animal, and she had reciprocated with a branded belt worth over 800 yuan. This wasn't stinginess on her part; it was the kind of spending that honed her savings and spent accordingly.

As the old saying goes, “Don’t skimp on what you should spend, and don’t squander what you should save.”

He has indeed become a little arrogant recently. Even before he made a lot of money, he started to ignore small amounts of money.

After checking their tickets and entering the screening room, Li Xu took Xiao Yu to the back row and sat down next to each other in the middle.

The screening room was quite small and the attendance rate was not high. There were only about 10 people sitting there sparsely, making it seem very empty.

"Why are you looking at me?" Seeing Li Xu staring at her with his head tilted to the side, Xiao Yu asked with a somewhat uncomfortably smile.

"This is the first time in my life that I watch a movie with a girl." Li Xu smiled and said with some emotion.

Xiao Yu looked at him with a meaningful smile and said, "I find that you are really good at coaxing girls. No wonder..."

She suddenly stopped talking here, and looked at Li Xu with a complicated look.

Li Xu was a little confused by her and didn't quite understand what she meant.

After waiting for a while, the lights in the screening room gradually dimmed, the big screen lit up, and the movie began.

"My Sassy Girl 2" is not a South Korean movie, but a domestic movie marketed as a sequel to "My Sassy Girl".

As soon as Li Xu saw the beginning, he had a vague feeling that this was probably a bad movie.

Xiao Yu held the popcorn bucket, watching the big screen while taking a bite of popcorn from time to time. Noticing that Li Xu was looking at her, she pushed the popcorn bucket towards him, indicating that he should eat together. Li Xu grabbed a few popcorns and put them in his mouth, chewing while observing Xiao Yu's expression.

He stretched out his arm and placed it on the back of the chair behind Xiao Yu, tentatively hugging her shoulders.

After trying several times, he finally made up his mind and gently put his arm on her shoulders.

But the next moment Xiao Yu turned around and looked at him with a half-smile, as if he could see through his thoughts completely.

Li Xu smiled awkwardly and had to retract his arm.

……

After watching a 90-minute movie, Li Xu didn't even know the plot, and his mind was completely focused on Xiao Yu.

First he tried to put his arm around her shoulders, then he tried to hold her hand, but both attempts ended in failure.

After the movie ended and they walked out of the theater, Xiao Yu noticed that Li Xu was about to say something, so she chuckled and said, "We agreed before that you can't make any more requests."

"Okay, then let's take a taxi back." Li Xu said with a helpless smile.

Half an hour later, the taxi stopped in front of the south gate of Normal University (East).

After getting off the car, Li Xu said to Xiao Yu, "Let me take you back to the dormitory."

Xiao Yu glanced at him, chuckled, and declined, "No, it's quite close. I can go back by myself."

She lived in the dormitory in the east district, very close to the (east) south gate, only about a hundred meters away.

"Okay then!" Li Xu nodded and did not insist.

Watching Xiao Yu walk into the school and his figure gradually disappear into the night, Li Xu sighed lightly and turned to leave.

After watching the movie, Xiao Yu became a little cold towards him.

Li Xu also understood where the problem lay. He was a little too impatient. He wanted to get started when it was the first time they watched a movie.

However, today was generally a success. I asked Xiao Yu out, had dinner, and watched a movie. It can be considered a date. At least I didn't spend Singles' Day alone.

Li Xu did not go back to Yingcai College directly. Instead, he bought a set of navy blue bed curtains (two curtains + a top) at a nearby supermarket outside the school. Then he returned to the dormitory with his laptop and the newly bought curtains.

There were only Xu Haoyang and Shen Qiang in the dormitory.

"Brother Xu, why did you come back so early today? Didn't you go on a date?" Xu Haoyang said immediately when he saw Li Xu coming back.

Then, he noticed the laptop in Li Xu's hand, "Brother Xu, did you buy a computer?"

"Brother Xu, what computer did you buy?" Shen Qiang also came over.

Li Xu put the laptop and the curtain on the desk and asked casually, "Why are there only two of you in the dormitory? Where are the others?"

"Guan Fu seems to have a date with a girl. I don't know what He Weichen and Zhao Jiazi are doing." Xu Haoyang said.

"Brother Xu, today is Singles' Day. Didn't you make an appointment with Xiao Yu?" he asked curiously.

"We were just saying that you might not come back tonight." Shen Qiang also said with a smile.

Li Xu ignored the two gossipy guys, picked up the bed curtain set, unpacked it and planned to install it.

At this moment, he felt his cell phone vibrate. He took out his old Nokia and saw that there was a new text message.

Luo Jiahui: "Is there anyone to accompany you? If not, I will reluctantly take pity on you and spend the holiday with you!"

Where did Luo Jiahui get his cell phone number?
The strategy to conquer Xiao Yu is a bit difficult. Since Luo Jiahui has come to me on her own initiative, I might as well practice on her.

Thinking of this, Li Xu put away his phone and walked out of the dormitory.

"Brother Xu, you just came back. What are you doing now?" Xu Haoyang asked from behind.

"Of course I'm going on a date. Am I going to spend the holiday here like you two single guys?" Li Xu said, and left without looking back.
