Chapter 27: Movie Roadshow
Chapter 27: Movie Roadshow
Seeing that the other party was going too far, Mo Xunhuan raised his hand and slapped her thigh, saying angrily, "Get lost. I came to see a movie, not to have an affair with you."
"I'm here to watch a movie too, but... I thought I'd chat with you a bit~" Su Qi lifted his chin and quickly kissed him.
"Then you'd better not bother me!"
Mo Xunhuan was speechless. He pushed her away and turned to open the door to leave.
However, at that moment, he heard his own fierce voice and Su Qi's pleas for mercy from behind.
"What did you do?" Mo Xunhuan turned around abruptly and saw Su Qi holding a phone, playing a recording.
Do you remember that night?
"Damn it!" Mo Xunhuan angrily stepped forward, turned off the recording, and deleted it.
Then he raised his hand, intending to slap her, but when he saw her delicate and pretty face, he hesitated and instead slapped her on the head.
"I never expected you to be so shameless. Su Qi, you've gone too far. Do you think I'll like what you're doing?" Mo Xunhuan was extremely disappointed in her.
Su Qi, who had been scolded, also stopped smiling. She grabbed Mo Xunhuan's hand, pulled him into her arms, and stared straight into his eyes.
"Then tell me, do I still have a chance to win your love?"
This question stumped Mo Xunhuan, and his initial anger gradually subsided, replaced by a sense of powerlessness.
"Look, you can't even answer my question, yet you still try to morally condemn me."
Su Qi forcefully wrapped her arms around Mo Xunhuan's waist, turned him around, and pinned him against the wall. Her breasts pressed tightly against him, exuding extreme pressure.
"I know what I did was shameless, but I've tried my best to restrain myself. You have no idea how deep my feelings for you are, you know nothing, all you care about is that idiot Lu Xiaoxue, you've never considered my feelings at all." After saying that, Su Qi leaned in and kissed him hard.
There was no gentleness, no warmth, only vengeful oppression, and then she left.
With a bang, the emergency exit door slammed shut, leaving Mo Xunhuan alone, leaning against the wall, letting out a heavy sigh.
"Honey, the movie tickets are about to be taken."
"Okay, I'm coming right now."
Three minutes later, the movie "Red Moon" officially started checking tickets, and the three entered the cinema and sat down in their seats.
Coincidentally, Su Qi, wearing a baseball cap, was sitting on the other side of Mo Xunhuan, making it even more difficult to see his appearance in the dimly lit movie theater.
Mo Xunhuan frowned, turned to look at Lu Xiaoxue, and said, "Wife!"
"What's wrong?"
"Should we change..." Mo Xunhuan was about to say when he felt Su Qi grab his clothes.
After hesitating for a moment, Mo Xunhuan ultimately didn't suggest changing seats. "It's nothing, let's see!"
"oh!"
After glancing at Su Qi with a sidelong glance, Mo Xunhuan took out his phone and sent her a message.
Mo Xunhuan: If you don't want me to change seats, then stay put.
Su Qi: Okay ❛‿˂̵✧
The movie starts soon after, telling the story of a young female detective who gets unexpectedly caught up in a bizarre incident while investigating a case; it can be described as a suspenseful action film.
The female lead, Han Xiyue, is incredibly beautiful and cool. She remains calm and collected throughout the film, is exceptionally intelligent, and delivers excellent action scenes. The special effects in the movie are also very good.
For Mo Xunhuan, this movie deserves a rating of 8 or higher. The only thing that bothered him was that the female lead was Han Xiyue, the national film star with whom he had a period of ambiguous relationship during his university days.
Looking at the other person's handsome and refined face, Mo Xunhuan couldn't help but recall the past.
"Honey, Senior Han's acting is amazing, and her action scenes are fantastic too. Plus, she's so beautiful!" Lu Xiaoxue whispered to Mo Xunhuan.
"Yes, it's really good, but we're watching a movie now. Let's talk about it when we get back," Mo Xunhuan reminded him.
Lu Xiaoxue has this kind of personality; she's easily impatient and needs Mo Xunhuan to remind her.
In contrast, the daughter was much more well-behaved, sitting on her mother's lap and watching the movie attentively.
drip...
Just then, the phone rang again.
Su Qi: Why did you bring your daughter to watch this kind of movie?
Mo Xunhuan: I didn't want to either, but she insisted on coming. This girl really likes Han Xiyue, and she's very bold.
Su Qi: Indeed, this little girl is much more capable than her mother. But speaking of Han Xiyue, I remember you and her should have...
Upon hearing the other person mention Han Xiyue, Mo Xunhuan promptly turned off her phone and glared at her.
Realizing she had misspoke, Su Qi took off her mask and stuck out her tongue at him apologetically.
"Hmph!" Mo Xunhuan snorted and turned his head back to continue watching the movie.
Time passed slowly, and without Su Qi's interference, Mo Xunhuan was completely immersed in the movie's plot. It was arguably the best movie he had seen in years.
There are no complicated dialogues, no inexplicable plot skips, and no clichéd forced moments of elevation.
Bizarre, fantastical, action-adventure—it's incredibly exhilarating.
As the movie ended and the lights came on, Mo Xunhuan prepared to get up and leave with his family.
But just then, a round of applause suddenly rang out, and a shocking scene unfolded.
"I'm telling you, it's Han Xiyue!"
"Oh my god, it really is her, the nation's best actress Han Xiyue!"
"Ahhh... It's my idol, my goddess Han Xiyue! This is such a wonderful surprise!"
Amidst the astonished cheers of the crowd, Mo Xunhuan watched as the film crew walked from the doorway to the front desk and greeted everyone present.
Clearly, the audience members present were very lucky, as this was a promotional event for the film's creators.
"Hello everyone, I'm the director of this film..."
"Hello everyone, I'm the second female lead in this movie..."
"Hello everyone, I am Han Xiyue, the actress who plays the female lead in this movie!" Han Xiyue introduced herself while holding a microphone, her eyes fixed on the audience in the screening room until she locked onto a familiar face.
Similarly, Mo Xunhuan in the audience was also shocked. After not seeing each other for many years, their reunion under such circumstances was too coincidental to be true.
It's important to know that movie roadshows are held randomly across the country, in so many provinces and cities, and Mo Xunhuan rarely goes to the cinema, probably no more than ten times a year.
Han Xiyue only makes one movie a year. Given all these coincidences and chances, the probability of them meeting is extremely low.
"Honey, it's my senior! My senior is here!" Lu Xiaoxue exclaimed excitedly, pulling Mo Xunhuan along as she raised her hand and cheered loudly.
"Senior, it's my senior!"
