After finishing a call with her sister, Wang Ling imdiately opened WeChat, found the chat with her old classmate, and sent a voice ssage.
"Su Yue, my sister will be back in a day or two. When she is, let’s go grab a drink together..."
About half a minute later, Wang Ling received a text reply from Su Yue: "Mm."
"What are you up to?" Wang Ling asked.
"Watching a movie!"
"What? You went to a movie without ? I’m so hurt!"
"Next ti, we’ll go together."
Wang Ling looked at Su Yue’s reply with a suspicious expression. "Su Yue, you’re not watching this movie alone, are you?"
Inside the cinema, in the dimly lit theater, Su Yue glanced at Lin Li, who was engrossed in the movie beside her, and quickly replied to the WeChat ssage from her old classmate.
"I’m by myself!"
Lying on her bed, Wang Ling looked at the ssage from Su Yue and thought to herself.
’That’s not right! Knowing Su Yue, she’s not the type of person to go to the movies alone.’
"Why would you go to the movies by yourself? That’s so not like you."
"Why can’t I go to the movies by myself?
I suddenly felt like seeing a movie, so I ca out to see one on my own. That’s perfectly normal!"
"Fine! But next ti you want to see a movie, rember to invite . It feels so pathetic, you going to the movies all by yourself..."
"What are you talking about? Plenty of people who co to the movies are by themselves!"
...
After she finished chatting with her old classmate, Su Yue put her phone back in her bag and looked around.
In the dim theater, the audience was mostly made up of couples, which was obvious from their intimate behavior.
"What are you looking at?" Lin Li noticed Su Yue wasn’t focused on the movie. He turned to her and asked, confused.
"Lin Li, look at that corner." Su Yue leaned close to Lin Li’s ear, whispering as she pointed to a corner in the front right. An extrely intimate couple was sitting there.
As Su Yue drew near, her orchid- and musk-like fragrance washed over him. While she whispered, the warm, moist breath from her rosy lips tickled Lin Li’s ear.
His heart skipping a beat from Su Yue’s casual gesture, Lin Li quickly pulled his head back to create so distance. Then, he looked in the direction she was pointing.
"Tsk... Seriously, those two are pretty bold!" Lin Li looked at the corner Su Yue had indicated and saw a couple wrapped around each other, feverishly making out.
In truth, scenes like this weren’t uncommon in the dim theater. It was probably a result of the atmosphere.
Lin Li had been focused on the movie, but after Su Yue’s interruption, he found he could no longer concentrate on the film in front of him.
"Lin Li, what’s wrong?" Su Yue asked, seeing him looking distracted.
"Su Yue, let’s get out of here."
"But there’s still a part of the movie left. We’re leaving already?"
"Even without seeing the last part, I already know how it ends. The protagonist will get beaten to a pulp by the final boss, who will then stand over him spouting a bunch of nonsense. Finally, the protagonist will have a sudden burst of power and turn the tables on him."
"Alright! If you don’t want to watch anymore, let’s go."
Lin Li and Su Yue then got up, left the theater, and headed out of the cinema.
...
At nine o’clock at night, because of the pleasant weather, there were still many people out for a stroll on the streets.
At Tianli Square, Lin Li and Su Yue, having just co out of the cinema, passed by a milk tea shop that was doing booming business.
A long line of custors was queued up for milk tea. Just then, Su Yue said, "Lin Li, let’s get so milk tea!"
"Sure! I’ll go buy it... What kind do you want?"
"You bought the movie tickets and popcorn tonight. Let treat you to the milk tea!"
"Okay, then I’ll just have the original flavor."
"With nothing in it?"
"Mhm."
Su Yue went to line up at the milk tea shop, while Lin Li sat on a bench by the street to wait for her.
’At ten tomorrow morning, I still have to go to Guangqi Road in Dongwu City to ambush that guy surnad Zhou.
’After Su Yue gets back with the milk tea, I’ll walk around with her for a little while longer, and then I should head back.
’I need to rest up tonight and get my energy back so I can teach that guy a lesson tomorrow.’
Lin Li had clearly blacklisted the guy who was posting "missing person" notices everywhere, trying to find him for revenge. He swore he would teach him a lesson.
’Before I go to Guangqi Road to ambush that guy, I’ll find Wang Gui first and order another batch of pearls... Huh? Why is there a Spiritual Energy Wave over there?’
Lin Li was contemplating his plans for the next day when he suddenly perceived a faint Spiritual Energy Wave coming from a short distance away, near the musical fountain.
But right now, there was no one near the musical fountain. How could there be a Spiritual Energy Wave?
The Spiritual Energy Wave—First Rank Middle Stage—was on the move. Lin Li’s Perception locked onto the faint wave as it moved rapidly from the front of the musical fountain toward a trash can by the side of the road.
"Is that...?" Lin Li saw a young man with purple-dyed hair in front of the trash can, hugging it as he vomited.
Next to the purple-haired young man was a girl with blonde-dyed hair.
