Chapter 445 - Watching a Movie (2/2)

Xiao Luo tried to be composed and took off his mask without responding to Su Li’s stare. “Our food has been served,” he announced.

However, the waiter holding the tray of food walked past their table, and he was evidently not serving their table yet.

Ugh…

Xiao Luo felt so foolish, and he promptly decided to play with Su Xiaobei. He rubbed her tiny nose and cheeks, then patted her head, and she appeared to be enjoying that.

“Humph.”

Su Li looked away from Xiao Luo as she wasn’t very comfortable with him sitting so close to her. Although it was not very natural, she could smell the scent that belonged to a man from such close proximity; she was not too resistant to it at all.

When Luo Pingxiang returned from buying a face mask, all the side dishes and ingredients had arrived and simmered to perfection.

Upon opening the lid, a fragrant aroma exploded from the pot and stirred their appetites. Xiao Luo picked some prawns, beef slices, and a chicken thigh for Su Xiaobei and said to her, “Xiaobei is growing up, so you have to eat more meat.”

“Okay, Daddy.”

Su Xiaobei nodded obediently. She had a larger napkin tied around her neck, which made her look really adorable.

“It’s delicious and nutritious, a perfect combination of meat and vegetables that is so refreshing. It’s truly a tasty dish. Mr. Xiao Luo, your recommendation is great.” Luo Pingxiang praised Xiao Luo’s decision after tasting the food.

Xiao Luo smiled and did not speak.

“Why are you praising him? He didn’t cook this, it’s this shop that deserves the credit,” Su Li carped, raining on Xiao Luo’s parade.

“…”

After they were done with dinner, they walked around in Huijin Tower to help with digestion and booked four movie tickets. It was a foreign movie with an educational theme, and it was suitable for families. They did not see Guan Yilin and the rest of her friends again.

Once they were at the cinema, Su Xiaobei became very excited, and she stared at the gigantic screen with her eyes wide open. She had virtually no resistance to any form of animated films.

“Su Xiaobei, do not yell and cheer later regardless of how excited you are, alright?” Su Li reminded Su Xiaobei to be well-behaved in the cinema.

“Why, Mummy?” Su Xiaobei asked, feeling a little confused.

“You should always consider others’ feelings when you are in public and not only care about yourself. If you are the source of nuisance to other people who are watching the movie, then you are at fault, and you ought to apologize to others,” Su Li said.

“Hmm, okay, I got it, I will not yell,” Su Xiaobei replied. She took Su Li’s advice to heart, although she seemed to be still confused.

Xiao Luo patted her head and praised her.

When the movie just started playing, there was a commotion in the front row. A man was speaking on the phone loudly, then he started munching on his popcorn and laughing loudly. He also called again and took a snapshot of the silver screen, probably uploading it to his social media. His selfish act was very inconsiderate to the people around him, and some started to complain.

“Daddy, didn’t Mummy say that we should not be noisy in the cinema?” Su Xiaobei whispered at Xiao Luo’s ears.

Su Li coughed, and had the lighting in the cinema been brighter, anyone could tell that her cheeks were blushing red. She was feeling awkward and angry at that man in the front row.

“Maybe he had forgotten about it, Daddy shall remind him.”

Xiao Luo smiled and touched the back of the seat that man was sitting on lightly; his inner force penetrated through the seat and flowed to a specific spot on the back of that man. The noisy man who was yelling and laughing earlier was suddenly in a state of silence and stasis. He was leaning forward slightly and seated upright, a posture typical of movie-goers. Nobody noticed if anything was odd.
