20 A Perfect Movie (1/2)

20 A Perfect Movie

'After several hours of shopping

He Xinyan and Gu Yechen finally exited the shopping mall with Gu Yechen holding several bags in each hand.'

'He Xinyan watched as Chen Xiao helped carry the bags onto the trunk of the car and gulped. This shopping experience was very. . . weird. It was almost as if she was shopping with the bank itself.'

'Even when she just took a second glance at an item

Gu Yechen would immediately buy it. So He Xinyan didn't even know most of the stuff they had bought.'

'She sat back down in the car and slowly put on her seatbelt.'

'”What movie do you want to watch?” Gu Yechen asked as he scrolled through the list of movies.'

'”Any. . .”'

'---'

'He Xinyan sat down on the bench with a large tub of popcorn in her arms as Gu Yechen went to go line up for the movie tickets.'

'She swung her legs forward and back as she chewed on the crunchy popcorn. Gu Yechen was very conspicuous in the line of people because of his tall height and extremely attractive face.'

'He Xinyan noticed a girl around her age from the line next to Gu Yechen pull out her phone and take a picture of him. He Xinyan pouted unhappily as she took a sip of soda. Her boyfriend was way too attractive.'

'Although their relationship was still considered fake

there was still a feeling of annoyance when she saw other women fangirling over her partner.'

'She grabbed the bottle of coke and hugged the large tub of popcorn to her chest before standing up and running over to Gu Yechen.'

'”Why did you come over?”'

'He Xinyan smiled sweetly

”I'll wait with you.”'

'Gu Yechen looked down at the little girl still eating popcorn and smiled. Why was she so cute?'

'The two of them walked into the dark movie room and heard the sound of ads being played on the big screen right now.'

'Up until now

He Xinyan still didn't know what movie Gu Yechen had chosen

but she trusted his decision.'

'A few minutes later

the movie began playing

and He Xinyan's hand that was reaching for popcorn froze when she saw the movie title.'

''Empire: A Documentary of Country Z's History''

'”. . .” He Xinyan wanted to run out of the movie theater right now. Did Gu Yechen really just pay to come in and have a history lesson?'

'”Is this the movie you picked?” He Xinyan asked.'

'”Yes

is there something wrong?” Gu Yechen leaned towards He Xinyan

and even in the dark

He Xinyan could see his attractive facial features.'

'”. . . No. . .” He Xinyan turned back and leaned back on the movie seat. Gu Yechen didn't eat the popcorn so she moved the entire bucket onto her lap and began to focus on eating.'

'Unfortunately

there wasn't enough popcorn in the bucket to last her through the full two-hour documentary

and she finished halfway through the movie.'

'He Xinyan placed the empty bucket on the floor and turned to look at Gu Yechen. How was he surviving?'

'She looked at the black and white screen and tried to focus

but her eyelids slowly got heavier and heavier

until they closed.'

'---'

'The lights in the movie theater opened again and the few people watching slowly got out of their seats and walked out.'

'Gu Yechen turned his head around and saw He Xinyan sleeping soundly next to him. Her mouth was open and her hair was slightly messed up from rubbing against the chair.'

'Gu Yechen smiled and watched her sleep for a while. Watching her sleep was much more interesting than watching the documentary. . .'

'Until the movie screen had completely turned black after the long list of credits

Gu Yechen stood up and took off his black suit jacket.'
