After the thank-you dinner, the clock in the living room pointed to eight o'clock.
The movie ticket Jiang Qingzhou bought was for 9:30 p.m., and the location was Kyoto International Cinema, which was a little far from him.
The two of them plus a driver, the three of them were seen off by the Jiang family.
Took the elevator and left.
Passing by the supermarket at the entrance of the community, Jiang Qingzhou asked Hai Shengjun to pull over while he went into the supermarket to buy some fruit juice drinks.
"Juice can sober you up. I bought a lot of flavors... apple juice, fresh orange juice, pineapple juice, blueberry juice, peach juice, mango juice, grape juice, banana juice, grapefruit juice, pear juice..."
Jiang Qingzhou said as he picked up the shopping bag and placed it on his lap, then he listed dozens of different flavors of juice he bought for Huo Jinyu to choose from.
"Which flavor would you like? Apple juice, orange juice, or..."
Jiang Qingzhou's tone of voice suddenly paused. He caught a glimpse of Huo Jinyu holding his forehead with one hand and turned his head to look over.
The moment their eyes met, Jiang Qingzhou saw Huo Jinyu's thin lips slightly opened, and she uttered a word coldly to him.
"Quarrel."
Jiang Qingzhou: "..." Is he noisy? Just a few words normally.
Hai Shengjun, who was driving, was caught off guard and leaned forward, almost hitting his forehead on the steering wheel. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and made adjustments almost subconsciously, sitting up straight again.
He concentrated on driving, but in his heart he once again mourned for the worrying emotional intelligence of the Fourth Master. Young Master Jiang had good intentions in buying him some juice to sober him up, but the Fourth Master actually complained about the noise.
If you can’t speak, you don’t have to speak.
Having a mouth... doesn't necessarily have to be used for talking.
When he went out, the old man, the eldest master, the second master, the third master, and the two eldest daughters of the Huo family called him to a corner separately, gave him instructions and death orders.
Tonight, he will report every move of the Fourth Master and Young Master Jiang to the masters and ladies after he returns.
Hai Shengjun was already having a headache. How should he explain himself when he returned home that night? The Fourth Master was the true ancestor of the Huo family, and he didn't know whether he would be criticized.
He only knew that if the report he presented did not meet the minimum expectations of the masters and ladies, he would definitely be criticized first.
Alas! The sadness of the working people.
I hope Master Jiang can be magnanimous and not mind the Fourth Master's outspokenness. He can testify that the Fourth Master just said what he meant. The Fourth Master actually...
"—Headache? Did my loud voice disturb you? I also bought some honey water, which can relieve headaches."
Hai Shengjun was suddenly alerted when he heard Young Master Jiang's gentle and caring voice. Young Master Jiang was neither angry nor blaming him.
She even turned around and reflected on whether her loud voice disturbed the Fourth Master, and then unscrewed a bottle of honey water and put it to the Fourth Master's mouth. What a narrow-minded person—
Be a living Bodhisattva in this world.
“Sweet…”
Huo Jinyu uttered two more words and leaned his head back on the headrest. The whole action meant that he didn't like sweets.
"If you're a little thirsty, just drink a little..." Jiang Qingzhou gestured with his fingers and coaxed her softly, "I looked at the ingredient list, the first one is pure water, and the second one is honey."
"The honey should have been dissolved by water, so it definitely won't be very sweet... Take a sip and try it. If it's really sweet, we won't drink it."
Huo Jinyu took the honey water with some doubt, and took a closer look at the ingredient list. He found that purified water was indeed ranked first, and then he took a tentative sip from the glass bottle.
Took a sip and stopped drinking.
"Sweet." He didn't like it.
Jiang Qingzhou took the honey water and returned it to him, stared at Huo Jinyu who was leaning on the seat again with his eyes closed, and said softly: "You need to rest more because of your headache, or... let's go see a doctor tomorrow, there's no rush anyway."
At the dinner table tonight, his uncle and aunt toasted Huo Jinyu a lot. There were four empty bottles on the wine cabinet, and Huo Jinyu drank at least one-third of them, and that was just white wine.
There was also champagne and red wine, and Huo Jinyu drank some of both.
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Huo Jinyu suddenly opened his eyes again, snatched the honey water from Jiang Qingzhou's hand, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Today."
With a "puff", I couldn't help it.
For some reason, Jiang Qingzhou felt that Huo Jinyu's action of gulping down the honey water just now, which seemed heroic but was actually arrogant, was particularly funny.
In fact, he coaxed him with soft words for a long time, but the young master thought the honey water was too sweet. After taking a sip, he refused to take a second sip.
He stopped coaxing and said he would watch a movie another day. But this time, he drank the whole bottle of honey water in the blink of an eye.
Do you have to be so hypocritical
Seeing that Huo Jinyu's eyes were narrowed dangerously when looking at him, Jiang Qingzhou stopped laughing and explained in a gentle voice: "What I meant just now is that you can come out to watch a movie in the future. You don't have to go out today when you are not feeling well. If you want to watch it, I can accompany you anytime in the future."
Huo Jinyu snorted: "I'm fine. If the wine you bought wasn't so low-grade, I wouldn't have had a headache from drinking it."
Jiang Qingzhou was shocked: "Are you stupid? Why do you want to drink when you have a headache?"
Huo Jinyu was also shocked. His expression changed in an instant, and he angrily asked, "What did you say about me just now? Huh?"
Jiang Qingzhou uh... covered his mouth and shook his head violently.
"No...nothing..."
"Didn't say anything?!" Huo Jinyu yelled even louder, "Do you think I'm deaf? Ah!"
Jiang Qingzhou was just about to find an excuse to get away when Hai Shengjun, who was driving in front, suddenly turned around and said in a rather surprised tone: "What did Young Master Jiang say just now? Why didn't I hear it... Fourth Master, did you drink too much tonight and are you hallucinating?"
Huo Jinyu: “…???”
Jiang Qingzhou: “…” Yeah! Yeah yeah yeah yeah~~~
With someone testifying for him, Jiang Qingzhou was so confident that he didn't need to find another excuse. He just pointed out Hai Shengjun's words and said, "I said I didn't say anything, but you still don't believe me. - Don't drink so much next time. Everything should be done in moderation. Drinking too much can easily cause trouble."
Huo Jinyu said unhappily: "If you don't pour me some wine, I can drink so much."
"." Jiang Qingzhou was embarrassed, as if... it really was.
He sat next to Huo Jinyu, and every time Huo Jinyu finished his drink, he would refill his glass. Since the uncle and aunt kept toasting and thanking him, Jiang Qingzhou couldn't help but refill Huo Jinyu's glass.
After a while, I ended up drinking too much.
Turn around and come back again.
This time, Jiang Qingzhou was in the wrong again. He explained in a low voice: "You have helped my family a lot recently. My uncle and aunt just want to thank you so much..."
"You could have just told me, or given me a look that said you couldn't drink anymore. Is that so hard to do?"
"Are you hinting at this, or are you mocking me... that I can't do this?" Huo Jinyu's handsome face turned completely dark and gloomy.
In short, it doesn't look good.
After a few seconds of silence, Jiang Qingzhou's face suddenly turned red, and he stammered, "I... I didn't mean that. I didn't say you... I didn't say you... Don't deliberately misinterpret my meaning, okay?"
He said no, but how come Huo Jinyu said it became no...
I don't know how Huo Jinyu did his reading comprehension. He had to make a very serious word lean towards something nonsensical.
"And you said you didn't, you—"
"You can do it! Very good, very good... That's enough!"
Jiang Qingzhou interrupted Huo Jinyu repeatedly. He didn't want to argue with Huo Jinyu about whether it was possible or not. The good topic was diverted.
"That's more like it." Huo Jinyu snorted and said disdainfully, "You think you can get me drunk with just that little bit of wine?"
Jiang Qingzhou: "...???"
After being stunned for a moment, Jiang Qingzhou suddenly reacted -
He was the one who had the wrong idea.
Huo Jinyu was talking about wine, nothing else. Instead, his mind was full of…
What a social death.
The rest of the journey was surprisingly quiet in the car.
At nine o'clock, we arrived at our destination.
In front of the main entrance hall of Kyoto International Cinema with flashing neon lights.
People come and go, shoulder to shoulder, and there is noisy voices everywhere.
As soon as Huo Jinyu appeared in her noble and gorgeous attire, she immediately attracted the attention of almost everyone at the entrance of the cinema.
On weekends and Sundays, most of the people who can come to the cinema to watch movies can be divided into the following types. One is the young couples who are holding hands and are in love sweetly. This type of young couples accounts for the largest number of people; one is the parent-child family with parents and children. There are also many such combinations of parents; and there is also a random combination generation mode, such as students, friends, besties, brothers, and company group building... There are also many people in this type of combination.
A lot of people meant noise and bustle. They watched Huo Jinyu walk into the studio as if she was walking on the red carpet of an international fashion week.
The crowd suddenly burst into an uproar.
"Holy shit! Where did this super handsome guy come from? Does a guy like him really exist?"
"Is it some big star from some production crew who's here to promote the show?"
"Ahhh—he is so handsome, so handsome, so handsome that I am attracted to him..."
"I'll walk over and pretend to fall... Can we do a love waltz and spin around..."
"The manager next to him is also very beautiful, a cool and elegant beauty, a real flower on the mountain top."
"Emm... I feel like they look so good together. What's going on?"
"The bodyguard in black following behind them is also very handsome and has a nice body."
"Oh my god! I estimated the amount of clothes he was wearing... It must be worth tens of millions."
"—It's so terrifying!!!"
“… … ”
Jiang Qingzhou listened to the gossip of the crowd. The voices were too mixed and there were too many people, so he couldn't hear clearly. He just felt that it was a bad idea.
He thought he should wear a mask when going out and didn't really want to be the focus.
I quickly looked down at my phone, then looked up at the sign above my head.
He had just found the route map to Screening Room No. 2 and took a few steps when a girl stumbled unsteadily and cried "Ouch!", falling heavily between him and Huo Jinyu.
Jiang Qingzhou's eyes twitched.
There is really no technical content in this fall.
It’s adulterated to the extreme.
Huo Jinyu didn't pause for a second, and walked past the girl. Jiang Qingzhou hesitated and stopped where he was. Out of politeness, he bent down and asked, "Are you okay?"
Before the word "ba" fell, Huo Jinyu turned back in a flash, grabbed Jiang Qingzhou's wrist and pulled him up, and shouted at Jiang Qingzhou in a low voice: "You are blind, don't you see that she is trying to scam me? I have seen many people like this, and once they stick to you, they are like sticky candy that can't be shaken off."
Jiang Qingzhou: “…” A young master like Huo Jinyu actually knows how to be sticky. How amazing!
So down to earth.
Girl: “…” Suddenly, a black pot lid appeared out of nowhere, and the handsome guy’s image was instantly shattered.
How could a weak girl like her have any bad intentions? She just wanted to have a romantic encounter with a handsome guy, but she didn't know -
There is no romantic encounter to be seen, but she is labeled as a sticky candy.
This guy has such a vicious mouth and speaks so hurtfully... I hope he can never find a girlfriend in his life, he deserves to be single for the rest of his life!!!
Huo Jinyu was directly pulled away by Jiang Qingzhou, and the two of them successfully arrived at the entrance of Screening Room No. 2.
Jiang Qingzhou thought it was still early, so he pointed to the sales area on one side of the screening room. Various small food shops were lined up, with a wide variety of goods piled on the shelves and counters.
"When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Let's buy some food and bring it in."
Huo Jinyu had no objection.
Jiang Qingzhou turned around and took another look at the projectionist's entrance, and suddenly he said with emotion: "It's my first time watching a movie, I feel so excited."
It can be considered as... In both his past and present lives, it was the first time that Jiang Qingzhou went to the cinema to watch a movie properly. He felt an indescribable joy and uncontrollable excitement in his heart.
When Huo Jinyu heard Jiang Qingzhou's words, his eyebrows raised, the corners of his lips curled up, and he felt inexplicably happy in his heart.
To commemorate the first time, Jiang Qingzhou bought a lot of snacks, such as what is necessary for watching movies -
Potato chips, shrimp crackers, popcorn, cola, Sprite, milk tea, melon seeds, seaweed, biscuits, nuts, spicy strips, chocolate, dried fish, beef cubes, maltose... etc. etc.
Huo Jinyu lowered his eyes and glanced at the puffed foods in the shopping cart. His lips were pursed into a thin line and he lowered his head and sighed.
He picked up those puffed foods and looked at them carefully one by one. Every time he looked at the ingredient list of a product, Huo Jinyu frowned a little. Without saying a word, he put those puffed foods back on the shelf with rude movements.
Anyway, if you see too many additives in the ingredient list, just don’t buy it.
He also looked at the snacks on the shelves and picked out some imported snacks that were barely acceptable.
Concentrating on shopping, Jiang Qingzhou felt that he had bought almost everything, so he turned around and went back to push the shopping cart that had come into Huo Jinyu's hands without knowing when.
The words “I’ve bought them, let’s go check out—” got stuck in my throat.
Jiang Qingzhou couldn't believe it, his eyes widened: "Where are the potato chips and shrimp crackers I bought?"
How come there is not a single bag left
He remembered that he selected a lot of flavors and put them in the shopping cart.
“…Where are my Coke, Sprite, melon seeds and spicy noodles?” Where did they go
If only one bag or one kind was missing, Jiang Qingzhou would definitely not notice it, but the key point is that so many were missing at once, and anyone with eyes could see it at a glance.
All of them, not a single pack left.
Huo Jinyu had no expression on her face and said slowly, "I threw all those things away for you."
"?" Behind the ice-blue lenses, a pair of black pearl eyes blinked gently, and then blinked again. There was a big doubt in the big eyes. Jiang Qingzhou said depressedly, "Why did you throw it away for me? I chose the flavor for a long time."
I finally have the chance to go to the cinema to watch a movie, and I must make up for the regrets of two lifetimes in one go.
Moreover, these snacks are standard when watching movies.
Huo Jinyu said word by word: "Eat less junk food."
I never expected to get such a glorious explanation from Huo Jinyu.
Jiang Qingzhou opened his mouth and said, "I don't eat it every day. I come out once in a while and eat a little bit... It's okay, right?"
"No!" Huo Jinyu said in a tone that would not allow Jiang Qingzhou to refuse, "Da Zhang has instructed that you cannot eat those foods that are not nutritious and unhealthy."
Jiang Qingzhou: “…” How come he didn’t know there was such a doctor’s order
His expression was subtle and he paused.
Jiang Qingzhou tried to convince Huo Jinyu with reason, and said eagerly: "I have been discharged from the hospital for half a month, so I don't need to follow the doctor's advice anymore, right?"
"I'm the breeder," Huo Jinyu said with a tough attitude, not backing down at all. "I have the final say on what you can and can't eat."
OK! You're the boss!
You have the final say.
Jiang Qingzhou picked up the bucket of popcorn in disappointment. Fortunately, he didn't throw it all away. It was probably because the popcorn was fried on the spot and was a healthy edible food.
Little did he know that Huo Jinyu didn't see the ingredient list on the outer packaging of the bucket of popcorn. If he had seen it, he would definitely not leave him... a single grain.
After all, in Huo Jinyu's eyes, the oil used to pop popcorn would undoubtedly be classified as unnutritious and unhealthy.
So, it’s another beautiful misunderstanding!
"I'll have someone buy the ingredients and cook for you when we get back." Huo Jinyu reached out and patted the top of Jiang Qingzhou's head. The soft and smooth hair felt particularly good to the touch.
He spoke in a very soft and gentle tone with his head slightly lowered, as if he was patting a small animal's head, and his accent was deliberately slow, giving people a rare feeling of tenderness and doting.
The young master has always been accustomed to doing things his own way and never cares about other people's opinions.
Jiang Qingzhou couldn't do it. He felt the burning gazes cast at him and Huo Jinyu, and his cheeks seemed to be burning with flames. He pulled down Huo Jinyu's hand and patted it on his head, then clapped his hands.
Pursing her lips, she thought for a moment and explained, "Actually... I don't really like eating these foods that are neither nutritious nor healthy. I just thought it was the first time I came here to watch a movie, so I should go with the occasion."
"Is that so..." Huo Jinyu dragged out the last syllable and changed his tone, "Which flavor do you like? You are only allowed to take one bag."
There are unexpected twists and turns.
Jiang Qingzhou's eyes suddenly lit up and he turned to pick out potato chips from the puffed food section.
"50g, small bag."
Behind him, Huo Jinyu shouted again, accurate to the gram.
Jiang Qingzhou didn't even turn his head and gestured "OK" with his backhand.
After selecting and choosing, I paid the bill and entered the venue five minutes early.
Jiang Qingzhou carried a bag of snacks and walked into the screening room shoulder to shoulder with Huo Jinyu. The seats he bought were in the middle and back rows, which were consecutive numbers, so the field of view was wide and the viewing experience was okay.
Find your seat number and sit up straight.
Many audience members who also wanted to watch the movie came into the screening room one after another. Most of them were young people, and they came in groups of three or four.
Perhaps because today is the last night of the weekend, Sunday, the theater No. 2 was already full with only two minutes left in the film.
"Martial Arts Immortal Path"
This is the name of the movie Jiang Qingzhou is watching today. It tells the story of a gifted man with extraordinary sword skills—
Tian Congyun is the male protagonist of this movie.
At the beginning of the movie, the male protagonist encounters an evil cultivator who is slaughtering a village while he is out for training. The evil cultivator uses all kinds of cruel and heinous means to kill the people of more than a dozen nearby villages. He collects the resentment of those innocent people when they die in vain and raises corpse beasts.
It is the bounden duty of those who practice Taoism to uphold righteousness, avoid evil, eliminate demons and defend Taoism.
The male protagonist was naturally no exception. He broke into the bloody lair of the demon cultivator alone with a sword.
The protagonist's cultivation had already reached the Golden Core Great Perfection realm at that time, and he was only one step away from reaching the Infant Realm, while the demon cultivator had just broken through to the Demon Core realm not long ago.
There was a huge disparity in strength between the two. The male protagonist could have killed the evil demon cultivator with one sword, but the demon cultivator was too shameless. Knowing that he could not beat the male protagonist, he captured the innocent people in his lair who had not been killed by him yet, and threw them into the blood pool where he raised corpse beasts. Then, when the male protagonist jumped into the blood pool to save people, he ran away.
After the hero rescued those innocent people, he was exhausted. However, the evil cultivator escaped again at this time and stabbed the hero in the heart from behind.
One of the protagonist's golden elixirs was pierced and crushed on the spot. If the elders of the protagonist's sect had not arrived in time, the protagonist's life might have been lost to the evil cultivator.
Although the hero was rescued by the elders of the sect, his golden elixir was shattered, and he has no chance of becoming an immortal ever since.
The hero fell from the clouds to the mortal world overnight, from a prodigy of swordsmanship who was admired by everyone, to a sickly and useless person.
When the former glory was gone, the hero experienced the darkest time in his life, and at the same time, he also encountered his light—
His fiancée has always been by his side without any regrets, no matter whether he is a genius or a loser.
As long as he is still him, her feelings will not change.
With the encouragement of his fiancée, the hero rekindled his Taoist faith. His golden elixir was shattered and he could no longer practice swordsmanship, so he switched to martial arts, constantly tempering his body, and finally achieving immortality through martial arts.
Became the number one in the world of immortal cultivation.
The plot of the movie has been shown. The male protagonist, who has become a sickly and useless man, is encouraged by his fiancée and step by step rekindles his Taoist faith and turns to martial arts.
The heroine was sincerely happy that the hero could rekindle his Tao heart. The hero hugged the heroine back, and then -
The movie's interlude with beautiful melody and touching lyrics echoed throughout the screening room.
The man and woman and the heroine kissed each other.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Qingzhou reflexively lowered his head and went to find something to eat.
Just as he touched the bucket of popcorn, he accidentally caught a glimpse of a young couple sitting next to him.
His pupils trembled, his hands shook, and some popcorn spilled onto his body.
Me me me me me… Shit!
They actually kissed each other.
"Why are you so startled?"
A familiar voice rang in his ears, and Jiang Qingzhou moved himself towards Huo Jinyu without thinking, and secretly pointed his finger at the young couple sitting next to him.
Huo Jinyu glanced at him and said with a tut, "Isn't it just being intimate? Look at how useless you are."
Jiang Qingzhou blurted out the words before he could even think of them: "You talk as if you've been kissed by someone else."
Huo Jinyu: “…”
Those amorous peach blossom eyes suddenly blinked, and a picture suddenly jumped out before his eyes.
That was in Jiang Qingzhou's hometown, in a fitting room at a shopping mall, when he accidentally—
