It's only the first step, don't rush to go out today

Little Chi’s words always left plenty to the imagination.

What kind of treatment could possibly be considered… high-end service?

Was he bringing a table over to Lin Yu so he could use it as a footstool?

It would be terribly uncouth to put one’s feet on a table meant for holding things.

However.

As it turned out, Lin Yu had simply been overthinking things.

After carrying over the table, Little Chi quickly began pulling things out of his backpack.

Hawthorn rolls, hawthorn slices, hawthorn fruit, hawthorn juice, hawthorn yogurt…

Lin Yu was completely dumbfounded. “???”

As Little Chi arranged everything, he muttered:

“How can you watch a movie without snacks and drinks?”

“We still have to compete later, after all.”

“So, when it came to snacks, hehe…”

“I picked things that wouldn’t take up too much room in your stomach, but would still help whet your appetite.”

Lin Yu stood there dazed for quite a while.

This…

This was what Little Chi meant by the highest level of treatment?

Fine.

Maybe taking out his own snacks and sharing them with Lin Yu already counted as the greatest sacrifice Little Chi could make.

It was just that these snacks…

How were they supposed to whet his appetite?

They were practically trying to punch a hole straight through his stomach!

He hadn’t eaten anything that morning, and now Little Chi was immediately stuffing him full of hawthorn products?

Would his stomach really be able to handle that?

“Little Chi, I think we should just watch the movie.”

“I’m really not used to enjoying this kind of service…”

“Give me one. I’ll pick something to eat!”

Lin Yu didn’t refuse outright.

He picked up the smallest hawthorn roll and weighed it in his hand.

After all, Little Chi had carried these all the way here.

Refusing to eat even one would be a little too discouraging.

Chi Qingchi seemed to have anticipated Lin Yu’s reaction.

There wasn’t the slightest trace of disappointment on his face.

Instead, he raised one finger and said:

“This is only the first step of the service!”

“Hmph, this is nothing. You really think I’m that shallow?”

“But you’ll have to wait until after the competition for what comes next.”

“Little Lin, you’re not in a hurry to go home, are you?”

Chi Qingchi stared at Lin Yu with eager anticipation.

There was no way Lin Yu could say he was in a hurry to go home at a time like this.

Who knew what kind of “special high-end service” he might miss if he did?

Lin Yu made an OK sign with his fingers and said:

“I’m not in a hurry at all. We can play as long as you want today.”

“You’ve certainly got my curiosity piqued.”

“If the gratitude-based service later isn’t as high-end as you claim, then this doesn’t count as repayment!”

“I’m going to make a note of it and hold it against you.”

Chi Qingchi nodded, picked up a bottle of yogurt, and sat down beside Lin Yu.

The two of them had a friendly discussion as they searched for a movie to watch.

It was called a cinema.

However…

The movies currently in theaters weren’t available in its movie library.

No private theater could afford to make that kind of investment.

Not now.

Not even ten years in the future.

In fact, even ten years from now, private theaters still wouldn’t necessarily have every old movie people wanted to watch.

They would only have access to whatever resources were shared by the platform supplying their movie library.

The place was no better than the on-demand theater before them.

It was pure piracy!

Whatever they wanted to watch could be found with ease.

There wasn’t the slightest pressure from copyright restrictions.

To accommodate Little Chi’s preferences, the two of them browsed through the anime movies in the library.

In the end, they chose a movie that wasn’t some live-action adaptation of a certain Notebook.

What movie they watched didn’t matter at all.

Lin Yu simply didn’t care what was playing.

The only thing he cared about was who he would be watching it with.
