Even as a "normie," I'm completely oblivious to it.

In fact, Qi Xinye didn't tell us everything; for example, she didn't mention the most important details.

She carefully selected this movie; the male and female protagonists are childhood sweethearts, and the female lead is a little older than the male lead. In the end, the two went through many hardships before finally getting together.

Yes, childhood sweethearts will definitely win!

There was still a little time before the ticket check, so Yu Zhe went to the front desk and bought some more popcorn. The receptionist was really amazed by him, saying that no one in the movie was as good-looking as him!

So when he returned…

"Xiao Zhe...did you buy the extra-large portion? We can't possibly eat that much."

Qi Xinye stared speechlessly at the enormous bucket of popcorn in Yu Zhe's hand, which was almost overflowing and teetering on the edge.

Yu Zhe steadied the popcorn in his hand, shook his head and said, "No, I ordered a small portion just now. I don't think either of us can eat that much, but the receptionist gave me this one and charged me for the small portion."

"You bought it at the manual counter... Okay, then it's fine, I understand."

"what?"

Qi Xinye knew perfectly well that whenever Xiao Zhe bought something himself, the shopkeepers would always subconsciously give him a lot more than he should have.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. They're starting to check tickets. Let's go. We can pack up any leftover popcorn to take with us later," Qi Xinye said.

"Okay, but who can finish all this...?"

It's difficult to even hold.

So the two of them followed the group and went into the movie theater.

But now, in the movie theater waiting area, there are two adorable little ones looking at each other, caught in a dilemma.

Those were Lu Ling and Lu Yao, who had been secretly protecting Yu Zhe's safety until just now.

Today, they were both dressed in their everyday clothes, not their maid outfits. They were wearing identical casual clothes and sunglasses, so it was really hard to tell them apart at first glance.

"Sister, what should we do? The young master went into the movie theater. Did you install surveillance cameras inside?"

"That...isn't illegal...?"

Silly sister, installing surveillance cameras in public places without permission is illegal.

"What should we do then? The protection can't be interrupted. How about we go in too?"

"agree…"

Lu Ling led Lu Yao to the self-service ticket machine and asked, "Sister, do you remember which seat the young master bought?"

"Four rows...ten..."

"You don't need to say anything, I know."

Then why are you asking me?!

Lu Ling simply wanted to persecute her sister.

She glanced at the real-time seating information displayed on the machine. Although there were quite a few viewers for this movie, the theater was large, so there were still empty seats. In particular, it seemed that the young master had deliberately chosen the fourth row, which had the fewest people, so there was no one in the seat next to him.

Alright, this time there's no need for secret protection. Just sit right next to protect it. Isn't that better?

I never expected that this escort mission would allow me to watch a movie with the young master. It's amazing!

Are you happy, sister?

"?"

land

Yao felt that sometimes... she really couldn't keep up with her younger sister's thought process.

41. Enjoy the movie!

Lu Ling selected two seats at the self-service ticket machine, completed the purchase, took out the movie tickets printed by the machine, and handed one of them to Lu Yao.

"Let's go, sister, the movie is about to start. Since we're going to watch a movie, we should at least watch the whole thing, right?"

"Aya...wait..."

"Hmm? What's wrong, sister?"

Lu Yao called her over because she had something to say. She had just looked at her movie ticket and then at the floor plan on the self-service ticket machine.

It was obvious that the Qi family's main house was to the young master's right, and Lu Ling's ticket was to the young master's left. However, the ticket that she had just handed to me was separated from the young master by Lu Ling.

"Aya... I want to... change."

"Want to switch seats with me?"

"Um…"

"Haha, sister, you're joking."

"Ok?"

How could her younger sister so blatantly bully her older sister?

Just as Lu Yao was about to say something, Lu Ling continued, "Oh, sister, don't take it so seriously. We need someone to sit next to the young master, right? If we really switch tickets, you'll definitely feel bad. At worst, we can just switch seats halfway through the movie, and that'll be fine, right?"

I feel bad about it, but how can you feel bad about it...?

However, if the positions were reversed in the second half, Lu Yao felt that these words were acceptable.

The movie was about to start, so Lu Yao didn't say anything more and followed Lu Ling into Theater 1.

………………

Yu Zhe, before the pre-movie commercials had finished, ate a lot of popcorn, adhering to the principle of not wasting any. Of course, Qi Xinye did the same.

You know what, eating too much at once really does make your throat feel cloyingly sweet.

I want to drink some water now, but I didn't buy any before entering, and it seems like a hassle to go out now...

Just as Yu Zhe was wondering whether he should go out to buy bottled water, a water bottle was handed to him from his left.

Huh? Wasn't the left side empty when I bought the ticket?

Yu Zhe would never accept anything from a stranger, so he glanced to the side in confusion.

Good heavens, what he saw startled him. The theater lights were already off, and there were two girls sitting next to him, both wearing big sunglasses. How could it not be scary?

Seeing this, Lu Ling responded softly.

"Young Master, it's us..."

Yu Zhe also answered softly, "Lu Ling? And Lu Yao?"

Lu Ling removed half of her sunglasses and looked at Yu Zhe from below. Lu Ling also imitated her action to show her identity.

"Why did you all come along... Oh well, watching a movie together is fine too. Is this water for me?"

"Yes, this was made according to the recipe given by Miss Zixiao, and the amount of goji berries is just right."

"Is it actually Zixiao's health regimen...?"

Not only that, not only did Zixiao provide the recipe, but this cup also belongs to Zixiao! Oh, I see. It seems Zixiao has already instructed Lu Ling and Lu Yao.

Yu Zhe took the cup and placed it in the slot next to the chair.

Qi Xinye, unaware that Lu Ling and Lu Yao were over there, put the popcorn aside and took out a water cup from her bag, asking Yu Zhe for directions.

"Xiao Zhe, did you eat something sweet? Would you like some water? There aren't any other cups here, but if you don't mind, you can use my cup."

It took her a lot of courage to say those words.

And this was an opportunity that was seized at the last minute!

Unexpectedly, Yu Zhe took the water cup out of the slot again, pointed at it and said, "No need, Sister Ye, this is a full cup of mine too."

"A water cup?" Qi Xinye was confused. "Xiao Zhe, you didn't bring a water cup when you came in... Where did you get it from?"

"Wasn't this all arranged by Zixiao?"

Yu Zhe sighed, leaned his head back in his chair, and brought Lu Ling and Lu Yao into Qi Xinye's view.

"These are Lu Ling and Lu Yao. Sister Ye, you should have seen them at my and Yu Che's birthday party last time, right? Oh! The movie is starting. We'll talk about this later. Let's watch the movie first."

Qi Xinye nodded to the two sisters, who responded politely, and then each quietly watched the movie.

There wasn't really a need to say too much. The two sisters just needed to protect Yu Zhe. As for Qi Xinye, she was just a little surprised by their efficiency, even managing to deliver water cups before her.

Zixiao, was this something you expected?

The movie started off quite normally, a story of childhood sweethearts, and the sweetness of the story was even more overwhelming than the popcorn we had just eaten.

Qi Xinye was still a little resentful that she hadn't been able to deliver the water cup earlier. Even though she was the eldest daughter of the Qi family, she was still a girl after all. Influenced by the atmosphere of the movie, she gently reached out her hand to Yu Zhe and finally slowly took his hand.

Xiao Zhe and I were childhood sweethearts...

When Yu Zhe turned his head in confusion, Qi Xinye's face was so red it was almost bleeding, but the light was too dim for Yu Zhe to see.

"Xiao Zhe...can we look at it hand in hand...?"

"Of course, you can!"

Yu Zhe squeezed Qi Xinye's hand in return. It was soft. It must be that Sister Ye was reminded of some things from her childhood after watching the movie.

From the moment Yu Zhe grasped her hand, Qi Xinye began to "greedily" feel the warmth of Yu Zhe's palm.

Yu Zhe was watching the movie, but Qi Xinye would occasionally look away from the screen and stare at Yu Zhe's profile. For a long part of the movie, she lost interest in watching the plot and could only focus on Yu Zhe.

But the movie continues.

The sudden change in art style is about the female lead and the outsider.

The story involves a man who has a connection with aliens, gets abducted by them, and then travels thousands of miles to chase after his wife.

Yu Zhe couldn't help but complain to Qi Xinye in a low voice.

"Wow, Sister Ye... isn't this plot too cliché? How did it become so popular? Actually, I think it would be good to continue with the story of life on Earth from the beginning."

Qi Xinye gave Yu Zhe a meaningful look and said, "You said you like passionate things, but that's not true at all. Xiao Zhe said he likes passionate things just to prove that he has masculinity. In fact, he likes ordinary, mundane daily life."

But this movie...

Qi Xinye explained in a low voice, "If you look at the comments online... it'll be here soon. Xiao Zhe, you'll see for yourself."

After Yu Zhe turned his gaze back to the screen and looked at it for a while, he understood.

If you can't win with the plot, win with the special effects!
