The autumn sun is shining, and the wind is rolling the leaves.
Cullinan drove out of North City University steadily, gradually speeding up, and merged into the endless stream of cars.
Su Jia sat on the back of the chair, turned her head and looked out the window, with a mobile phone in one hand and a perfume bottle in the other.
Her eyes were fixed on the non-stop horses along the street, and she didn't keep up with her chaotic thoughts.
Her ears echoed over and over again what people around her called "Jia Jing".
Jiajing Jiajing, Su Jia's Jia.
Su Jia's meticulously drawn eyebrows and eyes showed a shallow curvature without her being aware of it.
She lowered her head suddenly, opened the perfume bottle, sprayed it on her wrist twice, and then tapped it behind her ear.
After finishing all this, Su Jia raised her eyes and found that Ji Xuanyi was staring at him with his head tilted, his deep eyes showed a cynical look.
Su Jia's ears were a little hot: "Well, I didn't wear perfume when I went out today."
In fact, she doesn't have this extravagant habit at all, and she can't bear to part with such expensive high-quality perfumes.
Ji Xuanyi looked at the small light brown mole on her left ear, and his fingers felt itchy again, and he touched his thigh one after another.
He said "oh", and the ending tune was meaningful.
Cullinan drove directly to a popular business district.
It was half past eleven, and the two went to the mall for dinner.
The restaurant was chosen by Ji Xuanyi, a high-end Spanish restaurant.
It was another place that challenged Su Jia's wallet ability, but she gritted her teeth, considering that she could earn a lot of money as a tutor for Li Mengxin, so she went in reluctantly.
At the end of the meal, she went to check out, and was told by the clerk: "Mr. Ji is our senior member here, and all consumption is billed."
Su Jia was quite confused, and turned back to look for Ji Xuanyi: "Didn't you ask me to treat you? No matter how you choose the place, I don't need to pay for it."
"Forgot." Ji Xuanyi wiped the corners of his lips with a tablecloth, and replied solemnly, "Forget it this time, next time."
Su Jia: "..."
She looked at him suspiciously, not knowing whether it was true or false.
Su Jia deliberately said: "Old people are different."
Ji Xuanyi let out a "hiss", and lazily raised his eyes: "Children, please don't imitate villains and engage in personal attacks."
Su Jia was stabbed by Ni Lin, and said anxiously: "I am eighteen years old and three months old!"
Ji Xuanyi couldn't help but bend his lips when he saw her fur covered in fox fur.
Su Jia glared at him, got up angrily, and walked out of the restaurant.
Ji Xuanyi's legs are superior in length, and he strode to catch up: "Yes, you are not a child, you are just a few years younger than me."
Su Jia corrected: "You are a few years older than me."
Ji Xuanyi didn't understand the difference between the two, but he raised his lips even more after hearing her emphasis.
Su Jia tilted him angrily: "Smile, laugh, laugh all day long."
The curvature of the corners of Ji Xuanyi's lips was set at a certain value. Thinking back carefully, staying with this half-grown girl would indeed always make him laugh involuntarily.
Especially when teasing her into a frenzy and being at a loss for what to do.
Ji Xuanyi felt that he was a bit out of shape, he clenched his fist and coughed, and asked, "Where do you want to go next?"
Su Jia was called out by him. He didn't have any plans. He was about to say whether he should go back to school or not, when two girls passed by.
They discussed fiercely: "I really like the few movies released recently, I must find time to watch them all."
"Yes, especially the ghost movie. I heard that everyone who has seen it said it was good."
Su Jia's eyes glowed, and she asked the people next to her, "Would you like to see a movie?"
Ji Xuanyi hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Do you want to see it?"
"Think about it." Su Jia said straight away, otherwise she wouldn't have suggested it.
It also happened to be worth the meal with a movie.
Ji Xuanyi replied softly: "Okay, I will watch with you."
Su Jia's eyelashes trembled slightly, she glanced at him in a panic, and immediately took out her mobile phone to buy a ticket: "What genre do you like to watch?"
Ji Xuanyi doesn't like any type: "Whatever."
Su Jia looked around and said excitedly, "Let's make a horror movie!"
The corners of Ji Xuanyi's eyes twitched unconsciously, but seeing how excited she was, he pondered for a moment and replied, "Okay."
Su Jia immediately checked the specific shows, and sadly found that there were not many shows in the afternoon in the nearby theaters, and the ordinary halls were almost fully booked, leaving only a few bad seats here and there.
She made a mistake and frowned.
Ji Xuanyi saw something wrong: "What's wrong?"
Su Jia went to look at other halls, and there were only a few moderate seats left in the Dudu couple hall.
She said the status quo with a little embarrassment: "Only couple halls are available."
Her voice was extremely soft, and Ji Xuanyi curled his lips when he heard the three words that made her feel embarrassed, and said without thinking, "Just order this."
Su Jia scratched her bangs: "The lovers hall is... is..."
After murmuring for a long while, she couldn't say a reason, as if she couldn't speak.
Ji Xuanyi stared at her with blue pupils: "Are you guilty?"
Su Jia immediately became unhappy. He raised his head and chest, and said emphatically, "Why am I guilty? That's all!"
Ji Xuanyi smiled without saying a word.
The movie started half an hour later, and the two took the elevator to the ninth floor.
Ji Xuanyi asked quietly: "Aren't you afraid of watching horror movies?"
Su Jia shook her head resolutely: "It's all made up by people, it's pseudoscience, there's nothing to be afraid of, the really scary things are all in reality."
"You're only eighteen years old, you've been in school all this time, what kind of reality have you seen?" Ji Xuanyi smiled lightly.
Su Jia was stunned for a short while, and suddenly smiled brightly again: "Yes, I haven't seen it before."
Ji Xuanyi looked at her slightly stiff face, feeling a little weird.
Arriving at the cinema, Su Jia got the tickets and bought two sets of milk tea and popcorn.
She was surprised that Ji Xuanyi was quite unfamiliar with these things, especially the self-service ticket machines, and he stared at them for a long while full of novelty.
Su Jia rolled her eyes and asked in disbelief, "You haven't been to the cinema, have you?"
It is indeed the first time for Ji Xuanyi to come here. He doesn't often watch movies. Even if he wants to watch them occasionally, he can just use the home audio-visual room.
"Um."
Surprised, Su Jia blurted out: "The movie theater is a must-have place for couples to date."
Ji Xuanyi felt that this sentence was tricky, and raised his eyelids to look at her: "What do you mean?"
Su Jia stuffed popcorn into her mouth and said vaguely, "It's nothing, I heard you had a girlfriend before."
She turned her head to one side, dodged her eyes, and her words became more and more emboldened, her voice murmured like a mosquito.
They were sitting in the rest area waiting for the movie to start. Ji Xuanyi leaned back in his chair and looked at her idly: "Inquiring about me behind my back?"
"No." Su Jia denied, "I just heard about it."
"There are indeed so many," Ji Xuanyi is used to casually, and never hides what he does, "but do you have to go to the cinema after you have a girlfriend?"
Su Jia ate popcorn silently, her logic seemed to have a loophole.
Ji Xuanyi narrated in a low magnetic voice: "I'm not like you kids, who can sit down and eat hotpot together just after we meet."
Su Jia suddenly turned around and wanted to eat hot pot
She has only gone out to eat hot pot with a few roommates recently.
And in that hot pot game, because of an accident, Li Shuo and other boys got stronger.
Su Jia felt that Ji Xuanyi was acting strangely, and asked, "What do you mean?"
Ji Xuanyi's tone of voice: "Remind you, you have to be vigilant outside before you know him. You know he is a man or a ghost. What's his purpose?"
The movie ticket was checked ten minutes in advance, and there were already staff there calling for the couple hall to check the ticket.
Su Jia stared at Ji Xuanyi for a few seconds without blinking, then leaned back to avoid him.
Ji Xuanyi frowned slightly: "What are you doing?"
"I suddenly thought of something." Su Jia's fox eyes were full of cunning, "Uncle Ji, we haven't known each other for long, and I don't know whether you are a human or a ghost, and what purpose you have."
Before she finished speaking, she got up with popcorn and milk tea, and ran desperately towards the ticket gate.
If it's half a beat slow, Xiao Ming will explain here.
Ji Xuanyi was baffled by her questioning and actions, smiled suddenly, and followed the fleeing little fox.
Su Jia got to the end of the ticket checking line. When she saw Ji Xuanyi approaching, she subconsciously stepped forward, as long as she stayed a step away from him.
There was a young man in the front row. Just as her steps were about to move, Ji Xuanyi grabbed her arm, and a stern voice sounded in her ear: "Stand still."
The heat in early autumn continued in midsummer, Su Jia was wearing thin short sleeves, and when he pulled her like this, the skin exposed outside the fabric actually touched his palm.
The man's palms were rough, and there were thin calluses on the fingertips. Su Jia's delicate skin was obvious to the touch, his back stretched to a straight line by reflex, and goose bumps spread all over his body.
Ji Xuanyi withdrew his hand quickly, just to signal her not to move.
All over Su Jia's body, the attention of tens of thousands of nerves was still concentrated on the left arm, which could not be withdrawn for a long time.
"You dare to hate me, but you want to run away again." Ji Xuanyi thought that her anomaly was because she was afraid of being dealt with by him, and said angrily, "Little coward."
There were people watching the movie all around, Su Jia reckoned that Ji Xuanyi would not do something outrageous in public, so Xu Xu calmed down.
She lowered her eyes and murmured weakly, "Just be cowardly."
Ji Xuanyi couldn't help smiling when he heard it, "I'm still so confident."
Su Jia: "Just be upright."
After checking the tickets, she went to the theater, not daring to look at Ji Xuanyi's changing expression.
The seats in the couple's hall are all double sofas, and Su Jia and Ji Xuanyi share one.
At present, the theater is brightly lit, and Ji Xuanyi looked at her seriously, without saying a word, but the sense of oppression from being several years older and experienced in shopping malls spread silently.
Su Jia was uncomfortable, feeling like he was sitting on pins and needles, and coughed lightly to remind him: "The movie is about to start." It was time for him to watch the big screen.
Ji Xuanyi remained motionless: "I'm afraid that some mischievous person will run away again."
Su Jia: "..."
Fortunately, the movie started soon, all the lights went out, and the screen on which the picture appeared shifted the focus.
This horror film is similar to other films of the same type. The opening chapter is the horror sound effects and special effects that exaggerate the atmosphere.
Su Jia prefers this type, eating popcorn while watching with relish.
Ji Xuanyi's words have disappeared since the beginning of the movie, and he sat quietly beside him.
Unknowingly, he approached Su Jia, stretched his strong right arm, and put it on the back of the chair behind her.
The perfumes that the two of them used were of the same tone, and the entangled smell was strong. Su Jia sensed his approach and moved to the other side involuntarily.
The movie theater where it was being shown was dim, and out of her corner of her vision, Ji Xuanyi's state was not quite right.
His usually beautiful eyes stared blankly at one point, his nerves seemed extraordinarily tense, and a few blue veins appeared on his smooth forehead.
Su Jia withdrew her hand to get the popcorn, and called softly, "Ji Xuanyi?"
Ji Xuanyi ignored her, as if he couldn't listen to a few words at all.
Su Jia was worried, and sat closer to him, wanting to call out again.
Suddenly, Ji Xuanyi tilted his upper body, completely fell on her body, and put his hands on her shoulders.
Su Jia stared wide-eyed in horror, the popcorn in her hand was scattered on the ground, the hairs all over her body stood up, and her first reaction was to push the person away.
She exhausted all her strength to get rid of him and run away.
The movie theater was filled with horrific and wailing ghosts, Ji Xuanyi was a little confused, caught off guard by such a push, slammed his back on the sofa, and gradually regained consciousness.
He shook his head a few times and got up quickly.
Ji Xuanyi ran out of the theater, calling Su Jia's name while looking around.
In the end, someone was found in an inconspicuous corner.
Su Jia changed from the bright and lively past, her body was clearly clean, but she looked like a drowned chicken in a mess.
She curled up in the corner of the wall, her hands wrapped around her knees, her small face was buried in it, trembling.
Helpless and pitiful.
Things were far beyond Ji Xuanyi's expectations, he squatted in front of her first, and called as gently as possible: "Su Jia."
Su Jia didn't give him any response, and buried his head even lower.
Ji Xuanyi yelled again, but after still getting no response, he tried to pull her arm: "Get up first, your legs will go numb after squatting for a long time."
However, the moment Ji Xuanyi touched his fingertips, Su Jia violently shook him away, his eyes were scarlet, and he roared violently and coldly: "Don't touch me!"
