Chapter 67   – Popcorn and Ice Cola = Double The Pleasure (3)

She beelined toward the theater, but when she got to the window, Yan Shuyu learned that there wasn’t any scary movies that she had hoped for. There were, however, two romance comedies. One of them being the one that she had in mind originally, yet Yan Shuyu couldn’t even begin to fathom watching a romance comedy in the theater with just the two of them. So, she took the opportunity when the boss asked what she would like to watch in a perfect gentlemanly way and decisively picked an action flick that was just about to start, “Let’s watch this one. The rating is very high. Should be pretty decent.”

Zhou Qinhe chuckled, “Okay.”Then, he pulled out his luxurious black card and handed it over to the young girl in the ticketing booth.

Yan Shuyu had planned on politely expressing that she could pay for the tickets, but as soon as she saw the prices, she kept her mouth shut nicely. The tickets cost $100 each, no way she would pay for that.

She quietly put her hand over her purse and dared not pretend to be polite anymore. Inadvertently, she caught sight of the plastic bags still hanging on the boss’s exalted and elegant hand and shuddered. She quickly took the bags from him and said, “I can get those.”

Zhou Qinhe didn’t object this time but said to her tenderly, “There’s still 20 minutes before the movie starts. Why don’t you grab a seat over there, I’ll be over after I finished getting the tickets.”“Okay.” Yan Shuyu was just thinking that standing here with the boss would attract too much attention and misunderstandings, so she decisively went to look for a spot while carrying her bags.

She had barely just sat down when the text message from Yang Zifeng came over through WeChat. It was a picture of the front entrance of her son’s kindergarten along with a voicemail, “I am here already. Yuanbao should be out in a few minutes.”

Being nice on WeChat was free, so Yan Shuyu generously gave him a chicken leg emoji, “Thank you so much!”

“Wow, I am not used to you being so polite,” teased Yang Zifeng. “What about you? Which movie do you plan on watching?”

Yan Shuyu told him the name of the movie. Yang Zifeng, who happened to have recently watched it, sang its praises right away, “This was a great movie. Good taste, Yanyan!”

The two were just happily chatting away before Yan Shuyu felt a shadow cast over her from above. She looked up subconsciously and saw the boss, who has also got them popcorn and cola after the tickets, standing in front of her. From this angle, the man’s skinny and pointy chin, profound eyes, and tall nose were even more striking. As someone who valued appearances a lot, Yan Shuyu stared at him like a loser that she was.

Luckily, Zhou Qinhe had not yet realized how important looks was to Yan Shuyu, he only thought her shock was from the food in his hand and nonchalantly added, “I saw everybody else all bought snacks and thought we would stand out less this way. Do you not like these?”

Of course not! Yan Shuyu was the typical resident from the planet of I-Must-Have-Popcorn-When-I-Watch-A-Movie. She took the iced cola from the boss and immediately took a sip before she let out a sigh and said, “You are really good.”

Zhou Qinhe raised his brows, “Good at what?”

Good at flirting! But since the boss was not well versed in internet slang, she didn’t see the need to educate him. She surely didn’t want the boss to think that she was the flirty one.
