Crossover Anime: Miss, please don't do this, I still have a silly cat to raise.

After sitting down according to the seat number, Banai was both secretly pleased and speechless.

Well, she was secretly pleased because not many people watched the movie; apart from her and Lu Nan sitting in the back row, there were only a few children in the front rows.

And they even sat there obediently waiting for the show to start; that's practically like having the whole theater to themselves.

If Hanami really came here just to see a movie, then this is an incredibly lucky start.

But the frustrating thing is that Banami didn't come here just to watch a movie.

She made thorough preparations to take down Lu Nan this time!

Her handbag contained a charger, a phone, and a small box; her left pocket held her identification; and she was even wearing her signature underwear. Her preparations were quite thorough.

Even if I can't do it tonight, I'll make this guy confess his feelings to me in person!!

Therefore, ever since she made an appointment with Lunan, Banami has been researching online how to win over the man she likes, whether she is at home or at school.

Although some of the suggestions from netizens were quite strange, she still adopted many of the ones that seemed useful.

And today, I, Banami, am going to use one of the three holy places for dates—the movie theater—to successfully win that person's heart! To make him confess his feelings to me!

While it's not a romance film and can't create atmosphere or convey emotions through eye contact, nor is it a horror film and can't fake fear or create physical contact, but...

Banami suddenly fell silent. It seemed that her strategy guide didn't mention how to approach a children's movie like "Peach Blossom Hero vs. Chrysanthemum Monster"!

No, it seems the plan ended before it even started.

Banami covered her face in despair. What was the point of dressing up so carefully and making great mental preparations before bringing out her identification and the small box?

I can't exactly say later, "Oh, this children's movie scared me to death! I'm really afraid the chrysanthemum monster in it will come out at night and kidnap me, so Lu Nan, don't go home tonight and sleep with me..." How could I possibly do something like that?!

Damn it! What should I do, what should I do...

Lu Nan looked at Banami, whose expression had been as interesting as a traffic light ever since she sat down, and was a little confused.

What's this guy thinking? Why is he so conflicted?

Never mind, let's watch a movie first~

Chapter 276 Blueberry Flavor

As Banami bit her finger and frowned in thought, she didn't even notice that the movie had already started.

Lu Nan, who was next to her, was completely immersed in the movie, looking very serious and even forgetting to eat his popcorn.

While unconsciously eating popcorn, Banami was carefully considering what method to use to win over Lu Nan.

It wasn't until her fingers touched the bottom of the popcorn bucket and searched around but couldn't find a single piece of popcorn that Banami realized how much time had passed.

She was a little annoyed. She should have known better than to think so much. Even if there wasn't a chance, she could have at least watched a movie with Lu Nan.

Although it's a bizarre movie like "Peach Blossom Knight vs. Chrysanthemum Monster,"...

As Banami was still pondering, she suddenly felt her left hand being tightly gripped. Somewhat bewildered, she looked up at Lu Nan and discovered that he had been crying uncontrollably for some time.

Banami's brain completely shut down; even if you gave her three more brains, she still wouldn't understand what was going on.

"Um, Lu Nan...?"

Banami asked cautiously, looking at Lu Nan with some concern, "Are you alright?"

Lu Nan shook his head, wiped away his tears, and looked at Peach Blossom Hero on the screen, who was dragging his broken body to fight against the Chrysanthemum Monster. His hands clenched even tighter involuntarily: "Peach Blossom Hero, you idiot... Why, why didn't you go back and rest! Saving the world and all that..."

Listening to Lu Nan's mutterings, Banami was even more confused. Wait, what's going on?!

I'm a little confused, but Lu Nan is holding my hand right now! His hand is so big and warm... Ouch, that hurts! This guy is holding me a little too tight!

Seeing that Lu Nan was somewhat speechless, Banai pushed him away and whispered, "You pinched me too hard."

Although it's nice to be led around, isn't this guy a little too excited?

Lu Nan nodded absentmindedly, his eyes never leaving the big screen, his mind preoccupied with whether Peach Blossom Knight could escape this pursuit.

Her other hand had already started moving unconsciously. At first, Banami was a little sad when she saw Lu Nan raise his hand, but the next second she was even more confused.

Lu Nan then spread her fingers apart and intertwined them, holding them tightly.

The way Banami looked at Lu Nan seemed to be trying to figure out if this guy was using the excuse of watching a movie to secretly express his feelings.

But the result disappointed her. Lu Nan's eyes were fixed on the big screen, completely oblivious to what was happening on their side. Although they were indeed holding hands, he wasn't even blushing or out of breath...

Okay, he was indeed panting heavily, but it was because he was so anxious seeing Peach Blossom Knight being chased. Was it really necessary? He was practically crying from worry...

But looking at her right hand, which was intertwined with Lu Nan's, Banai couldn't help but praise Peach Blossom Knight in her heart. "You're amazing, Peach Blossom Knight! When I get out, I'll definitely give you a five-star review!"

But the next second, Lu Nan let go of her hand, raised his hands high and exclaimed, "Peach Blossom Hero is awesome! He can even run away from that! That's amazing!"

Looking at her lonely right hand, Banami wore a polite smile. "Five-star review, or you can pay in installments. You useless chrysanthemum monster, can't you chase me a little longer?"

Seeing a slight headache, Banai rubbed her temples, reached out and unwrapped a lollipop, stuffing it into her mouth. She had originally prepared it for Lu Nan, but seeing him like this, she figured he probably wasn't in the mood to eat it. So she decided to have one herself to replenish her sugar levels, as she felt like she didn't have enough brain cells.

Savoring the sweetness in her mouth, Banami looked at Lu Nan's serious expression again. Her gaze also shifted to the big screen, and she began to feel curious. Was this movie really that good?

What could possibly excite someone like Lu Nan like this?

Before long, Banami was completely engrossed in the movie, watching it intently and even forgetting to eat the candy in her mouth.

I was completely fooled by the movie's title; it's actually so good...

The room fell silent for a moment. Everyone, from Lu Nan and Banaijian to the children in the front row, was watching the movie intently.

However, as the plot unfolds, the tranquil atmosphere is about to be shattered.

As everyone watched the final battle between Peach Blossom Knight and Chrysanthemum Monster, their hearts were in their throats. Even Banami and Lunan's hands were clasped together again without either of them knowing.

Finally, seeing Peach Blossom Hero fall, Lu Nan couldn't hold back anymore. Just then, a child in the front row stood up and shouted in a tearful voice, "Come on, Peach Blossom Hero! Get up!"

Immediately afterwards, the children around him also stood up and joined in the support, followed closely by Lu Nan.

Banami stared blankly at Lu Nan, who had stood up. Although the movie was good, was this...?

Lu Nan looked at Banai sitting to the side and pulled her up.

After that, Banami didn't remember exactly what happened, only Lunan's serious profile, his somewhat watery eyes, and his face that suddenly turned joyful.

Peach Blossom Hero won the final battle, drove away the Chrysanthemum Monster, and protected world peace.

Lu Nan cheered and gave Banami a high five, then hugged her tightly.

Banami, still somewhat bewildered with her arms slightly outstretched, couldn't quite understand why things had turned out this way, but...

She gently wrapped her arms around Lu Nan.

This is fine too, isn't it?

Before long, Lu Nan opened his arms and began to enthusiastically recount the exciting plot to Banami, gesturing wildly.

Banami listened quietly, looking into Lu Nan's eyes as he recounted the parts of the story she had missed because she was distracted.

Banami suddenly understood what "liking" really meant. It meant that she didn't actually like the movie that much, but Lu Nan liked it a lot, so she found it interesting.

When you like someone, even after the movie has ended, you still can't bear to leave. You just want to sit with them in the same spot, even if it's just to review the plot one last time.

Suddenly, Banami realized why she had arranged to meet at the movie theater, and why the movie theater was one of the three most popular dating spots.

Because here, it's like taking a world tour with your loved one, experiencing a fantastical story together, and afterwards, when the person you love enthusiastically shares the story as they saw it with you...

His radiant appearance.

Banami quietly looked at Lu Nan, then took Lu Nan's hand and pressed it against his as Lu Nan looked on with some lingering desire.

Lu Nan was stunned. So the lollipop was blueberry flavored.

Chapter 277 Things Went Wrong

Lu Nan couldn't quite remember how much time had passed, only that the dimly lit room had become brighter, that the ending theme song had ended, and that the faint blueberry taste in Banami's mouth had disappeared...

Banai loosened her grip on Lu Nan's neck, stepped back a little, and reached out to wipe away a glistening drop of liquid from Lu Nan's lips. Her eyes behind her glasses held a satisfied yet teasing look: "Now do you know what a lollipop tastes like?"

Lu Nan opened his mouth, unsure of what to say. He suddenly turned to look at the front row, where several small heads were poking out from the seats, seemingly watching them.

"Big brother, are you two boyfriend and girlfriend?" A little girl, noticing she had been discovered, boldly asked.

“They must be a couple if they kissed! My parents say only married couples can kiss!” a slightly older boy retorted.

The children seemed to be discussing something very important, and Lu Nan was about to lose his temper. Meanwhile, the culprit, Banami, was thoroughly enjoying the children's speculations. He was just short of going up to them, handing them candy, and telling them to talk more if they could.

Lu Nan practically fled, dragging Banami along as they left under the curious gazes of the children.

Stepping out of the movie theater, I noticed that the sun was already setting, casting a reddish-pink hue over half of the sky.

Lu Nan looked at Banai behind him, who was in a great mood and even humming a song. He didn't know what to say. He knew that this guy's intentions were not pure, but he didn't expect him to be so bold. There were children involved, and he just went straight for them? Wasn't he afraid of corrupting the children?

When Banami noticed Lu Nan staring at her, she pointed meaningfully to her lips: "Not enough? Want some more?"

As she was saying this, she tried to move closer, but Lu Nan helplessly pressed down on her shoulder: "There are so many people here, don't do that."

Banana's eyes lit up: "Does that mean we can do it somewhere where no one is around?"

Lu Nan was speechless for a moment. What's wrong with Banami today? Why is she so brave? Do you know you're out of character?

Banami chuckled and said, "Just kidding~"

But only Banami knows whether it was a joke or not.

Banami bumped into Lu Nan and said with a smile, "Are you going to pick up Daimyo now?"

Lu Nan nodded and waved his phone: "Yeah, I've already booked a taxi."

Banami smacked her lips contentedly: "Okay, be careful on the road~"

Banami waited until Lunan got on the bus before leaving.

As for the original plan? That doesn't matter anymore.

She is content and happy now; that's enough for her.

That's enough of what happened tonight. I already know what I wanted to know. It's so easy to guess what someone's feelings are.

As for confessing your feelings...

Banami looked at the schedule on her phone, checked off a few items, and then looked at the words "Ferris wheel" in the memo with a constantly changing expression, finally filling with a smile.

She enjoyed this moment of naivety, impulsiveness, and budding emotions, like the bittersweet taste of a fine wine before it fully matured.
