Chapter 119 - Are They Gonna Kiss Now?
Xu Nuan and Han Zihao were sitting inside the theatre on the right side corner seats with popcorn and drinks. Xu Nuan had the popcorn basket in her lap as she was putting them one by one in her mouth while looking at the large screen.
Her eyes were wide open as she watched the movie in amazement as she wasn't expecting it to be so interesting. Han Zihao who was sitting beside her glanced at her with his knitted brows.
He looked around and realized that almost the whole theatre was empty and only a few people were sitting there...with their kids.
After all, she bought the two tickets for the movie which was showcasing at the kids' section. He thought that she bought the tickets for that (r-rated) movie and he was kinda nervous about it thinking if she was thinking of something else.
However, her actions were so unexpectable that even he was left dumbfounded. Who would have thought that she would choose a kids movie for their first dat...movie appointment.
He frowned as he looked behind him and noticed a couple was sitting there with their daughter. Who brings kids out for a night show? He wondered.
He looked around and noticed some other couples were there just like them. However, unlike them those couples were quite cosy and seemed like they were taking advantage of the darkness to enjoy their moment.
The theatre was almost empty with only a few couples so it seems like that many couples came here since the other theatre was quite crowded.
He turned to her and saw her watching the movie attentively, " You really want to watch this movie?" he asked when he couldn't take his curiosity anymore.
She doesn't look like a type to watch kids movies but since the movie has started, her eyes have been glued to the large screen.
Xu Nuan who was munching on the popcorn was surprised when she questioned her.
She replied while turning to the screen again after glancing at him, " I don't watch such movies usually. However, I don't want to watch that stupid movie. Did you see the synopsis of that movie? It was so ridiculous. They loved each other but didn't express their love so they ended up being separate? But they meet again after years and get together?"
" Hah! I hate those kinds of men who can't even take their decisions and don't know what they want. And I am sure there is gonna be a one night stand plot as well. Those are the worst. I don't want to curse while watching so I just bought the tickets for this one." she said while sipping on her drink.
Han Zihao frowned hearing her words, because her description felt as if she was talking about him. He pursed his lips and gulped nervously as he was not sure if she hated him the same way for being frustratingly slow.
" Well, that movie does seem boring...now." he said awkwardly agreeing to her description. He also turned his attention back to the screen and tried to focus on this..beautiful movie.
-
Han Zihao was looking at the screen tiredly as it's been more than half an hour but this movie is such a bore for him. However, whenever he glances at her in between, she appears to be so into the movie that she literally forgot his existence beside her.
It's as if she literally came here to watch a movie.
His mouth felt empty so he reached out to eat some popcorn from the basket which was in her lap but he frowned as he couldn't find them. After a few moments his eyes widened when his hand didn't go inside the basket but fell down and touched something else.
-
Xu Nuan, who was looking at the screen with utmost focus, almost jumped in shock when she felt Han Zihao's hand touching her thigh. Although she was wearing the dress, she could feel the warmth of his hand and the way it caressed over her clothes, searching for something.
She felt her body freezing as she felt his hand going up causing her to wriggle on the chair. However, he stopped moving as by now he also realized what was happening.
"....."
"....."
Both turned to look at each other with their widened eyes in shock as they were not expecting this unexpected incident to happen.
Han Zihao saw her shocked, accusing gaze as he panicked and explained, " I..I didn't mean it. I was just looking for some popcorn." he denied, horror apparent in his eyes, although she couldn't see his blushed cheeks, his quivering nervous voice made it obvious to her.
This time she wasn't calm either. She was equally shocked and taken aback. His sudden action made her forget about the movie fully.
" Ah, pop..popcorn. That...I finished it already. Do you want me to buy more for you?" she said panicking, not knowing what she was saying.
She tried to keep her cool but her ears turned red when she heard her own voice. ' F*ck. Since when I started to use my nasal voice?' she wondered while cursing herself inwardly.
Han Zihao also blinked at her as her voice...was quite a surprise to him. It was the first time she acted cute to him...and he actually liked it?
Embarrassed Xu Nuan was caught off guard when the light turned on as it was the interval break. She blinked when his panicked face came in her sight, making her feel even more embarrassed.
Both of their faces were blushed as they were staring at each other with their widened eyes.
" Mommy, see. Uncle and Aunty look like a couple from a drama. Are they going to kiss now?" the girl who was sitting behind them said while pointing a finger at them when she spotted them on her way to the restroom.
Xu Nuan and Han Zihao were surprised hearing the girl's words and realized that his hand was still on her lap causing him to experience the second wave of panic and he immediately took it away.
Xu Nuan's face was now burning as if she was sitting in front of the furnace and similarly, Han Zihao tried to keep his cool by looking away from her.
The girl's mother frowned and reprimanded the girl for saying this and commented before urging her to move, " People these days have no shame. Even the kids section is not safe for kids anymore. Shameless." she shook her head helplessly.
Xu Nuan who was trying to hide her embarrassed flushed face as the woman's words fell into her ears. She couldn't help but scoff as the woman's words were a huge insult to her.
What did she mean shameless? They didn't even do anything. They paid for it and they have every right to watch it. Even though they don't have a kid, can't they watch the kid's movie?
Moreover, they haven't even done anything yet. The accusation was wrong and unfair.
She was about to stand up, when Han Zihao placed a hand on hers, stopping her from waging a war at the lady.
Instead he turned to the girl who was looking at her mother curiously and was laughing upon hearing her words said, " Little girl, what's your name?" He asked gently, surprising Xu Nuan.
The girl's mother was about to say something when the girl smiled brightly seeing the handsome man asking her name, and replied shyly, " Lia...Mo Lia."
Han Zihao smiled and said, " Lia, nice name. Uncle and aunty were not kissing but talking. Also, pointing at someone is not a good habit. Your mother might not teach you, but your teachers must have told you, didn't they?"
The girl who was smiling brightly pursed her lips, tears filled in her large eyes because of guilt as she stared at him.
" I am sorry. Miss said that it's not a good habit to point at people. I won't do this again." She said while blinking her eyes.
Her mother frowned as she heard her daughter's words and glared at the man who made her cry.
She was about to say something when he pulled out something from his pocket and passed it to her daughter, " Here. It is a voucher for the kid's section in this mall. You can go there and play games as much as you want. It's a reward for you to be a good girl." He said while smiling.
The girl happily took it while her mother stared at the strange man in confusion. What is he? Who is he? Who gives vouchers randomly?
She took the voucher and looked at it, it's w exclusive 7 day free voucher. She remembered that there is a new playing section for kids but it's only an hour ticket is so expensive but he gave her not one hour but 7 days free voucher.
She pursed her lips and raised her brows before saying, " I also apologize for being rude." She nodded at him and left while holding onto her daughter.
"...."
Xu Nuan stared at Han Zihao dumbfoundedly as she can't imagine he gave her a voucher after scolding...wait...correcting her?
She wasn't sure how she should be feeling right now.
