On the rewards for successfully defeating a boss

Finally, everyone went to the carousel to calm down, prepared to eat a little and go directly to the cinema. While eating, they could also study the list of films showing in the cinema.

"A romance or a thriller?" Ke Wu swiped the screen with his hand, and the movie poster changed with his movements.

"What do you think of the cartoon, the Minions?" Yu Wangxi pointed at one of the posters, where the yellow little figures were huddled together.

"I want to watch a suspense movie." Lin Xixi raised her hand.

"Well, also Xiao Wang, um and Yi." Sun Cheng had been through a lot today and just wanted to stay in the relaxed atmosphere for a while. He puffed out his lips and spoke with difficulty, not even waiting for the chicken drumstick in his mouth to be swallowed. His speech was unclear, as if his language system was damaged. Everyone watched in confusion as his cheeks moved violently for a while, and after swallowing it all, he said, "I think the Minions are okay too."

"I want to go see this, a romantic film. Just the two of us." Qi Yu leaned his head against Ke Wu's shoulder, his voice soft and coquettish. Their overly affectionate expressions filled almost every moment, and everyone was already accustomed to the couple flaunting their affection wherever they went.

It can be seen that Ke Wu has no resistance to his behavior and was coaxed into nodding after a few words.

"She becomes a married woman when she's older." Seeing Ke Wu's trapped state, Lin Xixi couldn't help but whisper.

"Don't envy me too much." Qi Yu happened to catch her words and immediately replied with a smile.

"What do you want to see, Xiao Qian?" Chi Mu picked up a piece of pork ribs and put it in Chen Qian's bowl. Chen Qian didn't say anything for a long time and just watched the fun. He lowered his head and saw the pork ribs in the bowl. He said thank you and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Hmm?" The ribs weren't big, and they were moved to the right side to press against his face, creating a bulge so it wouldn't affect his speech. "I heard that recently released one is pretty good. It's called something like 'Kill.'"

"Then Chen Qian and I will go watch that movie."

"I want to go too! I want to see it too." Lin Xixi raised her hand again.

In the end, the seven of us decided to watch different movies in three groups, so that no one would have to accommodate anyone else, and the time was similar, finishing in about ten minutes.

Qi Yu and Ke Wu bought their meals first and went in first. Sun Cheng and Yu Wangxi received their set meals and started queuing up to enter.

They were a bit slow here as there was a queue in front of them which delayed them a bit. Lin Xixi saw that it was still early so she went to the bathroom. Chen Qian was holding some popcorn while waiting for Chen Qian to buy the ticket.

"We came late and there are no triple seats available, so someone has to be left alone." Chi Mu came back with three tickets in his hand and said embarrassedly.

"Is that so? Then I'll sit alone?" Chen Qian weighed the two boxes of popcorn, feeling a little regretful.

"Oh, I can sit alone, you two can sit in a row." Just as Chi Mu was about to say something, a hand reached in from the side, took away the single-seat ticket, and interrupted him.

Lin Xixi's eyes flickered between their faces, and she winked at Chen Qian discreetly before continuing, "Suspense is about being left alone, startled. Now it's time to check your tickets, let's go."

Then he left very abruptly, leaving Chen Qian confused and full of questions.

Chen Qian hadn't seen the seat location at first, but after he sat down, he realized that there were three rows between them. Lin Xixi walked to the fourth row and then walked in, while they walked all the way to the seventh row.

"I didn't expect this movie to be so popular." Chen Qian couldn't help but be amazed at the distance. He couldn't even choose the three closer seats.

Suspense movies are always full of shocking shots, which frequently cause screams, especially from the men around.

She was clearly half a head taller than him, and she had been very calm in the haunted house just now, not reacting at all when being chased by ghosts. But now she kept leaning against him, making a jump scare and squeezing closer to Chen Qian.

Towards the end of the film, there's a thrilling chase scene where Chi Mu practically disappears into Chen Qian's arms. Chen Qian wraps one arm around his shoulders, patting him occasionally and covering his eyes with the other. The distance is so close that Chen Qian can't help but be distracted. He can feel the brush-like lashes fluttering gently in his palm.

My palms are itchy, and my heart is itchy too.

I didn't expect Chi Mu to react so strongly to this kind of movie. It's a bit of a contrast...

At the end, they gathered again in the hall. Lin Xixi was chatting enthusiastically about the content of the movie, but Chen Qian didn't dare to join in the conversation. His attention was all on the people and he didn't pay much attention to the screen.

Chi Mu changed the subject several times in a row. Chen Qian guessed that he was timid and didn't want others to know, so he was shy and didn't talk about this with Lin Xixi.

When we returned to the hotel at night, we were all exhausted both physically and mentally.

Before they parted, Sun Cheng said that he and Yu Wangxi almost fell asleep in the theater, but fortunately, they were awakened in time by the laughter of children in the room.

After taking a shower, Chen Qian planned to enter sleep mode as quickly as possible. He tried to ignore the sound of water in the toilet and buried his head in the quilt.

However, there are always times when the more you want to fall asleep, the more you can’t fall asleep.

Chen Qian tossed and turned until the sound of water gradually stopped and he finally felt a little sleepy. He wanted to use the sleepiness to fall asleep, but the even sound of footsteps drove away his sleepiness.

I felt a little irritated and complained about the noises around me in my heart. I was too lazy to even move.

Just lie there quietly until you fall asleep.

This was Chen Qian's original plan.

The moment something soft and damp touched his lips, Chen Qian felt that he had never been so clear-headed.

what happened?

Are you asleep? Are you dreaming?

Chen Qian pinched his leg secretly and felt pain.

Not a dream? Not a dream...

Didn’t drink? Didn’t drink…

No mushrooms either!

Chen Qian tried hard to maintain his posture and dared not move. He went from wanting to sleep to pretending to sleep, and his muscles were stiff. Thinking back on the past few months, Chen Qian's mood was much more complicated than the day he heard Chi Mu call.

He didn't even know how to react.

He used to study novels at night, and knew all the plot points where the protagonists missed out due to misunderstandings or lack of a mouth. So he felt he should expose this, but now his heart rate was through the roof, and his heart was pounding so hard that he almost shouted "80, 80", making him stiff and at a loss.

Hey, slow down, slow down.

At least wait until you calm down...

By the time we had waited, it was already dawn.

Lin Xixi looked at the huge dark circles under his eyes and couldn't help asking, "Did you... sneak into Yu Wangxi's house last night?"

"What? No."

"Oh~ So it is..." The imaginative tone took eighteen turns, and the ambiguous eyes passed Chen Qian and went straight behind him, giving Chen Qian an expression of "I understand everything".

Chen Qian looked back and saw Chi Mu, who looked energetic, full of energy, and in a good mood. Having suddenly become a voracious reader, Chen Qian understood what was hidden in that omission and whispered to Lin Xixi to stop the erotic thoughts spreading in her mind: "Don't let your imagination run wild. I just didn't sleep well."

"I know, I know. Of course you can't sleep well." It was obvious that Chen Qian failed. For the first time, he hoped that Lin Xixi could be a mute, and it would be even better if she was also blind.
