Why bother with dating when you already have a cat?

The small fish of today are not the same as they used to be; they should be viewed with new respect.

Ai Qing thought about it and decided there was no need to be so careful, so she nodded, took out her phone and said to Xiao Yu, "If anything happens, just call me."

"Yes, little fish will be fine!"

As Xiaoyu said this, she quickly ran down the steps, hoping to finish using the restroom as soon as possible and get back to watch the movie.

As a result, he was walking too fast. After going down the steps and turning into the exit passage, he bumped into Yao Qiang, who had just lifted the curtain and walked in.

Although the small fish braked immediately, a slight collision was still unavoidable.

"ah!"

With a snap.

The Coke in Yao Qiang's hand fell to the ground.

The liquid was spilled all over the ground, and it was clear that it was impossible to pick it up and drink it.

Fortunately, the collision wasn't serious, and neither of them fell.

"How do you walk like that?" Jiang Shuixian frowned, then looked at Yao Qiang. "Did you spill anything?"

"I'm so sorry, so sorry, so sorry." Xiaoyu was flustered after bumping into someone, not daring to look at their face, and kept bowing and apologizing, "I was walking too fast, it was an accident..."

"It's nothing." Yao Qiang looked at the girl in front of her. Her snow-white high ponytail was very eye-catching, making Yao Qiang a little dazed. After she came back to her senses, she waved her hand and said, "I didn't get spilled. It was just a cup of cola."

After saying that, Yao Qiang and Jiang Shuixian continued walking inside, not intending to linger any longer.

But Xiaoyu was clearly upset and quickly called out to Yao Qiang, "Um... Sister, where are you sitting?"

"Hmm?" Yao Qiang was puzzled for a moment, then turned to look at Xiao Yu, who was still looking down guiltily and didn't dare to look at her. Then she glanced at the movie ticket, "Row 9, seat 12, what's wrong?"

"I...I need to use the restroom first, then I'll buy you another Coke, okay?" Xiaoyu asked nervously.

Hearing this, Yao Qiang immediately laughed: "No need for all that trouble. I already said it's just a Coke. Go to the restroom."

"No, no, no, my brother always teaches me that if you do something wrong, you must correct it, apologize, and make amends," Xiaoyu quickly said. "Sister, just wait here for a moment, I'll be right back!"

After saying that, without waiting for Yao Qiang to refuse again, Xiao Yu hurriedly ran out of the passage and rushed to the toilet.

After coming out, I went straight to the ticket checkpoint, hurriedly took out my movie ticket, and asked if I could buy a Coke before coming in.

Since it could increase the cinema's revenue, the ticket inspector naturally didn't refuse.

Besides, this girl is easy to recognize, so I'm not afraid of forgetting her later.

So Xiaoyu ran smoothly to the lobby and ordered a new Coke from the front desk.

"Would you like to order a Coke separately?" the waiter asked.

"Yes, that's right, just one Coke."

"The single-person meal here is 30 yuan, and you can add a bucket of popcorn. Would you like to consider it?"

"No, no," Xiaoyu waved her hands repeatedly. "It's just a Coke, I'm in a hurry, could you please hurry?"

"Okay, okay." Seeing that he couldn't sell the product, the waiter took the order and brought over a Coke. "Pay by scanning the code here."

Xiaoyu opened her WeChat QR code, scanned it, immediately grabbed a Coke, and rushed to the ticket gate.

After successfully re-entering the passage, Xiaoyu found the entrance to Hall Six and hurriedly climbed the steps.

Fortunately, the movie didn't start for another minute.

"Row 9, row 9, um... it's here."

"Number 12, number 12, ah, we've arrived!"

Xiaoyu found seat number 12 and quickly bowed, offering the Coke in her hand with both hands.

"Sister, here's your Coke."

"Thank you so much, you've gone to so much trouble." Yao Qiang chuckled and accepted the cup, not expecting the girl to actually buy her another one.

"It's okay, it was my fault for bumping into you. It's what I should do," Xiaoyu said earnestly, finally looking up at the older woman in front of her.

Then she froze.

She bumped into someone in the passageway, but she was too embarrassed to look at the other person's face.

Upon seeing Yao Qiang's appearance, Xiao Yu froze on the spot, momentarily flustered.

Isn't this my brother's mother? I can't believe I'm only realizing it now.

Oh dear... I bumped into my brother's mother. What if my brother finds out? Will he scold me?

The little fish became worried.

Then she thought that her brother didn't really want his existence to be exposed to the people around him.

So the little fish immediately returned to its normal expression.

"What's wrong?" Yao Qiang looked at her strangely and immediately touched her face. "Is there something on my face?"

"No, no," Xiaoyu quickly waved her hand. "I just didn't expect you to be so beautiful, sister."

"Haha, you're so good with words, auntie is 46 years old." No matter what age a woman is, she will be happy to be praised for her beauty, and Yao Qiang is no exception. "You still call me sister, you're making me sound so young."

"Hehe." Little Fish chuckled twice, then heard the sound from the big screen. Turning his head, he saw that the movie seemed to be about to start.

"The movie has started, you should go back to your seat," Yao Qiang said.

"Okay, then... goodbye, sister!"

Seeing that the aunt seemed happy to hear her call her "sister," Xiaoyu immediately changed her mind and then turned around and slipped to the steps, hurrying back to the couple's seats.

Ai Qing had been looking at her phone the whole time, so as not to miss Xiao Yu's situation, so she didn't notice what was happening below.

Xiaoyu returned to her seat looking guilty. Ai Qing didn't think much of it, and simply pointed to the screen, saying, "It's starting."

"Mmm." Xiaoyu nodded, sat down next to Ai Qing, picked up a piece of popcorn, and put it in his mouth.

Ai Qing opened her mouth and ate it.

Seeing that he didn't react, Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness.

Since Ai Qing didn't find out, should we just not tell him?

Thinking this, the movie scenes appearing on the screen immediately caught Xiaoyu's attention.

In the 9th row, Yao Qiang kept watching the seat where Xiao Yu finally sat down, then looked at the couples' seats in the distance before finally looking away.

"What are you looking at?" Jiang Shuixian asked.

"It's nothing." Yao Qiang chuckled and shook her head, her fingers tracing the cool surface of the cola cup, a slight smile playing on her lips.

Chapter 114 An Encounter

For those who have not received nine years of compulsory education or have relatively weak basic scientific knowledge, it is easy to miss many details when watching The Wandering Earth 2.

Even Ai Qing, a college student, would miss many subtle foreshadowings and connections while watching.

This kind of movie, with its high information content, is perfect for watching two or three times, and after watching it, you can find various videos to unlock these details.

However, even if you ignore these things while watching the movie, the grand scenes depicted in the film, such as the space elevator, air battles, submerged underwater cities, the distant moon, global nuclear explosions, and the Earth beginning its wandering, are enough to make the audience feel as if they are there and experience the shock.

Little Fish doesn't really understand the various technologies and concepts related to technology here.

Every now and then, she couldn't help but ask Ai Qing a question.

"So, is the sun really going to explode?!"

"It's fake. Science fiction is just scientific fantasy. It's just people's imagination of the future, which is then portrayed through filming. It doesn't actually happen in reality."

"That...that elevator..."

"Call it a space elevator."

"Yes, yes, yes! A space elevator, that's amazing! Our chairs are shaking!"

"The movie theater chairs have a vibration function, which, when used in conjunction with the special effects and plot of the movie, will have a better effect and make people more immersed in the story."

"Are there elevators this tall in real life? They seem to be flying all the way up into the sky!"

"This space elevator is currently only a cutting-edge technological concept; there is no real one yet."

"How was this filmed?" Xiaoyu asked, somewhat puzzled. "How can you create a fake image when there's nothing real?"

"Special effects, computer-generated effects, combined with real-world assembled cabins, can achieve a lifelike effect, but building a real space elevator would definitely be ten thousand times more difficult."

"That little girl, has she moved into the internet?"

"You could say that way: her consciousness was transferred to that chip, and she was completely transformed into a virtual person."

"Then, are the characters in the games we usually play created in this way too?" Xiaoyu asked with concern. "Isn't that too cruel?"

"Don't worry... those are all completely fake. There is no technology yet that can truly transmit a person's consciousness to the internet."

The little fish has many problems.

Fortunately, they chose the last row of couple seats, and after several months of release, not many people came to see The Wandering Earth 2.

Most of the seats were in the first few rows. There were no people in the first two rows for Ai Qing and Xiao Yu, so Xiao Yu's voice didn't disturb the other guests.

When the film reached its finale, showing hundreds of astronauts from various countries standing on the moon, pressing the button to detonate a nuclear bomb one by one, and silently disappearing into space, Xiaoyu fell completely silent.

From initially chattering away for an hour, to gradually becoming more immersed and asking fewer questions, Xiaoyu fully entered this science fiction world and resonated with the people inside.

As the film nears its end, countless Tu Hengyu and Tu Yaya appear in countless small houses, eventually converging to form Moss's camera.

The lights above her head came on, but Little Fish was oblivious, as if she were still lost in the movie world she had just been in.

Ai Qing turned to look at Xiao Yu and realized that her eyes were filled with tears; she hadn't even noticed when she started crying.

She quickly patted her pockets but couldn't find any tissues. So Ai Qing reached out and cupped Xiao Yu's delicate face, gently wiping away her tears with her thumbs.

"Why are you crying?" Ai Qing said with a laugh.

Well, even Ai Qing herself couldn't hold back when she first watched it.

This was the second time. Seeing astronauts from various countries stepping forward to embark on a perilous mission to the moon, he couldn't control his emotions, even though he already knew the plot.

He just didn't expect that the little fish would cry.
