“Seems like your little head needs some more knocking, Yuxin.”
Ye Feng flexed his wrists in front of Su Yuxin, grinning wickedly as he eyed her.
“Eek!!!”
Su Yuxin scooted backward on the bench like a startled rabbit, clearly still affected by Ye Feng’s earlier “disciplinary actions” in the changing room.
“I just wanted to get a little closer to you, Ye Feng-gege,” she pouted.
“‘A little closer’? Sticking your head out like that—were you trying to become a two-headed ogre or something?”
“Hehe~”
Su Yuxin knew her earlier antics had gone too far, but she couldn’t help it. Something about being alone with Ye Feng awakened an inexplicable urge in her to close the distance between them.
“Yuxin, you really need to reflect on yourself. I think I’ve spoiled you too much!”
“Mhm, exactly! So, Ye Feng-gege, you have to punish me properly for me to learn my lesson.”
As she spoke, she clasped her hands together in mock surrender, putting on her most pitiful expression.
“Go ahead, Ye Feng-gege. Don’t hold back because of our relationship. A bad girl like me deserves a good scolding.”
“Alright, enough of that. I know you’re a good kid at heart, Yuxin.”
“Ugh...”
The moment Ye Feng said those words, the mischievous glint in Su Yuxin’s eyes vanished instantly, transforming her from a sly fox into an innocent little bunny.
“You’re no fun, Ye Feng-gege.”
“I’m just telling the truth. You’re the most lively girl I’ve ever met.”
“Really?”
Su Yuxin immediately scooted back to Ye Feng’s side, tilting her head up with wide, earnest eyes.
“So… in your eyes, I’m a special girl?”
“Well...”
Ye Feng pondered for a moment. Everyone had their own quirks, so in that sense, sure, she was special.
“Yeah. You’re special, Yuxin.”
“Hehe~”
A goofy smile spread across Su Yuxin’s face, her joy impossible to contain whenever Ye Feng praised her.
“By the way, Yuxin, are you sure about all those clothes you bought?”
“Don’t worry, Ye Feng-gege! I already had the store deliver them to your place.”
“But it’s so much… Maybe we should—”
“Okay, break time’s over! Let’s keep moving forward!”
“Sigh...”
......
After walking through a long corridor, Su Yuxin led Ye Feng into a movie theater.
“Yuxin, are we… watching a movie?”
“Yep! There’s a new film I’ve been really interested in, and I’ve been wanting to watch it with you. But I never got the chance—until today!”
“You must really like this movie. What’s it called?”
“Nowhere to Run!”
“Nowhere to Run? Sounds like a thriller. Do you usually like that genre?”
“Not at all! Actually, it’s about...”
Su Yuxin nearly launched into an explanation but caught herself—no spoilers! Even though she’d already seen it multiple times, watching it with Ye Feng was different.
The film’s themes were crucial to her future with him, and this was her chance to gauge his reactions.
“It’s about…? Wait, have you already seen it, Yuxin?”
Ye Feng raised an eyebrow.
“Huh? No, no! I just watched the trailer and remembered some stuff. Do you want me to tell you?”
“Nah, it’s fine. We’re about to watch it anyway.”
“Okay then~ Wait here, Ye Feng-gege. I’ll grab some popcorn for us to snack on.”
“Let me get it. You’ve spent enough today.”
“I told you not to worry about that! Money doesn’t matter, because...”
Because we’ll be together forever eventually—what’s mine is yours, and what’s yours is mine~
“How about you take a break? I’ll handle the popcorn.”
“Mm… alright~”
Su Yuxin finally relented. According to her romance guidebook, love required effort from both sides—that’s what made it last.
Soon, Ye Feng returned with a giant bucket of popcorn and two sodas, just as the usher began checking tickets.
As if reading each other’s minds, Su Yuxin took the drinks while Ye Feng handed over the tickets from his pocket.
“Hehe~”
Noticing their seamless coordination, Su Yuxin flashed a small smile before passing her ticket to the attendant.
......
“Huh?”
Once inside the screening room, Ye Feng glanced around—aside from him and Su Yuxin, the place was completely empty.
“What’s wrong, Ye Feng-gege? Something the matter?”
Su Yuxin, unfazed, took a sip of her soda after settling into her seat.
“Doesn’t this seem weird to you? I’m starting to think we walked into the wrong theater.”
“Why? We double-checked the room number on the way in.”
“But there’s nobody here. The mall was packed, yet this place is dead silent.”
“Maybe it’s just an unpopular time slot. Think of it this way—we paid for two tickets but got the whole theater to ourselves!”
She tugged lightly on Ye Feng’s sleeve.
“Come on, sit down. The movie’s about to start.”
“...Alright.”
Maybe he was overthinking it. Her logic made sense.
“Here, Yuxin. You hold the popcorn.”
“Eh? You’re not having any, Ye Feng-gege?”
“I’ll nibble here and there. Not really hungry right now.”
“Okay… but pay close attention to the movie, alright? I’ll be watching you.”
“Uh…?”
Though puzzled by her wording, Ye Feng nodded. As long as the film wasn’t boring, he could handle most genres.
Click.
The lights dimmed, and the screening room fell into hushed darkness as the two focused on the screen.
and couldn't return to the real world. Finally, I gave up and decided to go with the flow, only to discover that writing a diary could make me stronger. Since no one could read it, Su Luo wrote freely, daring to pen anything and everything. Female Lead #1: "Not bad. This diary helped me steal all the protagonist's opportunities. I just want to get stronger." Female Lead #2: "I don’t care about reaching the peak of the cultivation world. Right now, I just want to enjoy the chaos." Female Lead #3: "What? Everyone around me is a spy? I’m the Joker Demon Lord?" ... It’s so strange. Why is the plot completely off track, yet the ending remains the same? Are you all just messing with me?!
