We ordinary people also need to fall in love.

"Ah, I'm so full." Chen Qiuhe lay back in her chair, rubbing her stomach with one hand, and sighed with a satisfied look on her face.

"You didn't wipe your mouth clean, here." Xie Shu's gaze fell on Li Mubai's face, and he silently handed him a piece of paper.

"Okay."

Li Mubai quickly took the paper, lowered his head and carefully wiped it, then asked somewhat uncertainly:

"Is it clean now?"

"It's clean." Xie Shu replied softly.

"Tsk tsk, you even need our Shu Bao to teach you something as simple as wiping your mouth." Chen Qiuhe said to Li Mubai with a teasing look.

"There will always be times when even the best plans can go wrong."

"One memorial? We do indeed only have one memorial here."

"Chen Qiuhe, do you think Xie Shu and I laughed because of your lame joke?" Li Mubai thought to himself.

"By the way, Qiuhe, do you have any plans later?" Xie Shu turned to ask her, her long hair falling down her shoulders.

"Yes, I have."

Chen Qiuhe sat up straight and counted on her fingers for them:

"First, we'll go to the fifth floor to watch a movie during the Spring Festival; second, we'll stroll around the third floor; then, we'll go to the central square to watch the fireworks show; finally, we'll all go home."

Chen Qiuhe has indeed improved; she's even using English essay sentence structures in her speech. But why does she have to go to so many places? What time will she get home? Li Mubai wondered.

He then looked at Xie Shu, wanting to hear what the other party planned to do first.

Xie Shu withdrew his gaze, thought for a moment, and then looked at Li Mubai.

"Class monitor, are you going?" Li Mubai asked directly.

"Let's go together, otherwise it'll be so boring for me to be alone!" Chen Qiuhe brought up the excuse of being bored by herself again.

"Okay." Xie Shu hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

Li Mubai should go too. I don't think he's ever been to a movie theater before. It would be good to have the chance to experience it.

"Qiuhe, are there still seats available if we book tickets now?" Xie Shu asked.

"Don't worry, I've already booked three tickets in advance. The last game is about to end." Chen Qiuhe waved her phone.

It turned out to be premeditated. Chen Qiuhe's move was too ruthless; he and Xie Shu had unknowingly fallen into the trap.

Li Mubai originally wanted to take the elevator down, since he had taken the elevator up first, and it was close to the hot pot restaurant, but Chen Qiuhe suggested taking the escalator.

The escalator in the mall was hard to find; it took them half a walk to find it. Li Mubai was the first to step onto the escalator.

He remembered seeing a short video that said gentlemen and ladies walk in front when going downstairs and behind when going upstairs, and now he could put it into practice.

The escalators are like two misaligned lines, each heading towards its own destination.

Li Mubai withdrew his gaze and stared intently ahead.

"Sis, what are you looking at?" Mei Zhixia asked curiously.

"It's nothing."

After everyone left, Mei Zhixia immediately put on a teasing expression and whispered in Mei Yulu's ear:

"Sis, do you have a crush on that guy from earlier? Want me to get his contact information for you?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Mei Yulu chuckled lightly, then urged:

"We're all hungry after watching the movie, let's go eat, Zhixia."

……

"Li Mubai, do you know the girl who just came upstairs?"

Chen Qiuhe asked, and Xie Shu also looked at him.

"I don't know him."

"Then you'd better be careful. I've been reading a novel recently, and the female lead turns into a yandere just by glancing at the male lead who's passing by, and she..." Chen Qiuhe said with a mysterious expression, sounding very serious.

There aren't that many yandere people in real life. If you really encounter one, you should call the police.

However, when Li Mubai was in his first year of high school, a girl from another school asked for his contact information. She seemed to be a junior high school girl. He gave her his contact information, but made an excuse that he didn't have his phone with him, so he didn't accept her friend request.

Chen Qiuhe took three movie tickets, one for Xie Shu and one for Li Mubai, and also got a bucket of popcorn and three cups of cola.

"Li Mubai, come help me carry this," Chen Qiuhe said.

Li Mubai took the popcorn in his left hand and a cup of cola in his right.

Watching Chen Qiuhe and Xie Shu enter the venue one after another after having their tickets checked, he found it difficult to take the ticket out of his pocket since he was holding things in both hands.

I should have kept it in my pocket.

"Let me get you the Coke," Xie Shu said.

"OK, thanks."

On his first time entering a movie theater, Li Mubai naturally followed behind the two.

Chen Qiuhe chose three seats in row 5, from seat 1 to seat 3. She sat down first, Xie Shu sat in seat 2, and Li Mubai had to sit in seat 1.

In the past, when I read novels, there were always those plots where the male and female protagonists went to the movies together. The male protagonist wanted to watch a horror movie, while the female protagonist wanted to watch a romance movie. In the end, she couldn't persuade the male protagonist and chose the horror movie.

During the movie, a ghost suddenly appeared, startling the female lead. She trembled and grabbed the male lead's arm, and then the atmosphere became ambiguous.

"Li Mubai, why don't you sit in the middle? I want some popcorn," Chen Qiuhe said, sticking her head out.

...Being bossed around at school is one thing, but being bossed around outside of school too?

"I can take it," Xie Shu said.

"How can that be, Shubao? We need to focus on watching the movie."

"Fine, maybe Chen Qiuhe will pay for the movie tickets anyway," Li Mubai thought for a moment and finally compromised.

"I'll get it. Class monitor, shall we switch places?"

"Okay." Xie Shu hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

After we changed seats, the lights in the movie theater suddenly dimmed, and the screen began to display images.

It's not a horror movie. Come to think of it, how could there be a horror movie during the Spring Festival? It has to be a family-friendly film.

Chen Qiuhe nudged Li Mubai, indicating that she wanted some popcorn. She took out a piece and popped it into her mouth.

Li Mubai also tried one, but it wasn't as delicious as he had imagined; it was cloyingly sweet.

He then took the popcorn to Xie Shu and said in a low voice:

"Class monitor."

Xie Shu took a popcorn out of the popcorn bucket with her fingers and gently put it in her mouth.

Next, Li Mubai took on the task of passing popcorn back and forth. Fortunately, there wasn't much popcorn, and he was able to relax and focus on watching the movie after he finished eating it.

The story of two bears and a bald man is playing on the big screen. It used to be much better, but in recent years the creativity has become increasingly exhausted.

Li Mubai glanced at Xie Shu and found her watching intently, the flickering light casting shadows on her face.

He glanced at Chen Qiuhe on his right; she was wearing glasses too.

Is this movie really that good?

Li Mu Bai refused to believe it and refocused his attention on the big screen. Before he knew it, his eyelids were getting heavy, and he slowly drifted off to sleep.

When Li Mubai woke up again, he checked the time and found that more than an hour had passed and the movie was almost over.

Xie Shu suddenly moved closer to him and asked in a low voice:

Was the movie good?

"Uh—can I say I fell asleep, class monitor?" Li Mubai said embarrassedly.

To fall asleep while watching a movie with someone is truly a heinous crime, Li Mubai thought to himself, condemning himself.

"snort--"

Xie Shu suddenly smiled slightly, and then said:

"I saw it, that's why I asked you."

Li Mubai was stunned for a moment before he realized what was happening.

Xie Shu is so mean. He saw him asleep and deliberately teased him. Isn't the answer to whether he's good or bad already obvious?
