Chapter 380: Chapter 380 Watching a Movie

Xiao Chen fell silent, his eyes shrouded in a thin mist, complex and profound, making his handsome and cold face even more inscrutable.

Xiao Dian cleverly ended the call after finishing speaking.

He sat in front of his desk for a long time, the cigarette in his hand burnt down to the butt, and yet he seemed not to notice.

The next day.

Yun Yue woke up late in the morning, abruptly sitting up with sharp, compelling eyes sweeping her surroundings before realizing she was in her own room.

She thought back to last night—had Xiao Chen hypnotized her?

Seeing the incense at the bedside that hadn’t burnt out, she recognized it as something sold in the market, used for aiding sleep.

She had slept especially soundly, not having those strange dreams.

After washing up, she wandered into the living room with a casual stride.

She was startled to see a familiar figure in the kitchen—Xiao Chen, with his sleeves rolled up and wearing an apron, was chopping vegetables with a knife.

Her eyebrows raised with slight interest as she walked over and stood opposite him, watching his proficient knife skills, leaning against the door frame, "You can cook?"

"Um, I’ve learned a bit. I’ve brewed some tea for you on the coffee table, and there are fresh strawberries and cherries. Have some to fill your stomach. Watch some TV, and the food will be ready soon." Xiao Chen finished chopping and turned to stir the dishes, showing that he truly could cook.

Yun Yue responded with an "Oh," turned, and headed to the living room. The coffee table had everything but sugar to eat.

She knit her brows—wild as could be—breathed out lightly, drank down the tea, and ate a strawberry that was neither too sweet nor too sour.

Then she walked back to the kitchen, leaning against the doorway again, "Need help?"

Xiao Chen glanced at her, "Sure, you can help me bring these two dishes to the table, be careful, they’re hot."

Yun Yue nodded, carried a plate in each hand to the table, and then, with nothing else to do, leaned against the doorway watching him.

Xiao Chen: "..."

A little while later, the last dish was done, and Yun Yue stepped forward to take the plate away.

Xiao Chen let out a soft laugh and poured the stewed soup from the casserole, using oven mitts to carry it out of the kitchen.

The simple assortment of four dishes didn’t look as good as those Xiao Feng made, but they seemed to smell all right.

"It tastes pretty good." She raised an eyebrow, which could be taken as a nod to her culinary skills.

The corners of Xiao Chen’s lips curved up, his eyes deep and his voice low and magnetic as he said, "I bought two movie tickets. After dinner, we’ll go to the movies, and then we can go to the amusement park in the evening."

"If you don’t like either of those, we’ve also got table tennis, bowling—you pick. In any case, you can’t stay home doing nothing these next few days."

Yun Yue opened her mouth but didn’t know what to say. She drank a spoonful of soup in silence, and then as if mustering courage, said, "Can I refuse?"

His face became serious, "You can, once you’re feeling better, you don’t have to go out."

He lifted his gaze, his expression slightly shifting, as he casually spoke while picking up food with his chopsticks, "Or you can consult me, your psychologist."

Yun Yue paused in her eating, resting her left hand on the table, her raised eyebrows showing an untameable wildness, her eyes deep and dark as she slowly uttered four words, "This won’t happen again."

"Alright, then you also need to promise me that this won’t happen again. Otherwise, I’ll have to use it again."

Xiao Chen knew she was warning him not to hypnotize her again like he did last night.

"Sure." Yun Yue agreed readily. Even though he had hypnotized her last night, she believed that he likely didn’t do anything else, just put her to sleep.

After finishing the meal, they went to the movie theater.

Yun Yue looked around at the empty theater, the movie already started, with only the two of them there. She turned her head in confusion, "...Is this what you meant by two movie tickets?"

Xiao Chen naturally pulled her toward the best seats in the house, his chiseled face exuding nobility, his chin nodding lightly, "I bought two tickets, but I rented out the entire theater."

Yun Yue: "..."

Having found their seats, he placed the popcorn and cola in the middle. This was his first time coming to a movie theater to watch a film; he usually watched them at home.

He had brought her out this time too, fearing she might fall back into that state if she stayed at home with nothing to do.

Halfway through the movie, the faces of the male and female leads suddenly filled the screen.

"..."

An inexplicably strange atmosphere pervaded the air.

In the empty screening room, they were the only two people present, and they could hear even the slightest sound.

At that moment, her ears seemed especially sensitive, catching the sound of his Adam’s apple bobbing.

"Sister Yue." Xiao Chen’s voice was husky and magnetic, tingling her eardrums and she could even feel the warm breath on her cheek as he spoke.

She turned, startled, "What... um..."

Xiao Chen, like a hunting wolf, had eyes that shone like the stars, as if there was a fire burning inside.

For a moment, Yun Yue’s brain went blank, and she blinked, forgetting how to react.

Xiao Chen locked eyes with hers, clear and innocent like a deer’s, and only felt his heart pound wildly, irresistibly alluring.

Yun Yue snapped back to reality and suddenly pushed him away, landing a punch on his chest.

"Cough, cough, cough." Xiao Chen coughed, clutching at his chest as his face turned red, unsure if it was because of pain or from holding back.

Yun Yue felt a touch of red creep up to her ears, seeing him cough with some difficulty, she awkwardly started, "Uh... sorry, I might have gone a bit too hard just now."

Xiao Chen clutched his chest, "Are you trying to murder your own husband?"

Yun Yue glared at him, teeth clenched, "...What husband? We aren’t even engaged yet."

The corners of Xiao Chen’s mouth curled up, in a very good mood, he whispered in her ear, "So you do want to get engaged? Tomorrow I’ll have mom pick out a good day, or we could just get married. What do you think?"

He added, "After all, you are of age now."

Yun Yue: "..."

No wonder he remembered her birthday on the ID so clearly; it was all part of his plan.

In the pitch-black screening room, where one couldn’t see their own hand in front of them, faces could only be made out with help from the screen in front of them.

At this moment, Xiao Chen possessed an indescribable longing, his eyes clouded with a dense mist, so deep they could pull one in.

Yun Yue, unable to win the argument, shifted topics directly: "Let’s talk about it later."

Xiao Chen’s lips curled into a satisfied smile as he straightened up to continue watching the movie.

He couldn’t be too pushy; today had already been quite good, and there would be other days.

After the movie, the two went to the amusement park.

But this time he hadn’t booked the entire venue, as amusement parks were more fun when crowded. However, he’d opened a VIP, so they didn’t need to queue for any attractions.

"Which one do you want to play?" Xiao Chen asked, holding her hand. They both looked better than stars themselves, turning heads in the amusement park and drawing the attention of a crowd of tourists.

"Are they stars? They’re way too attractive."

"Probably not, that man’s wearing fully customized attire, and that watch in his hand is worth twenty million. Although we can’t tell the brand of the woman’s clothes, they’re definitely high-end and unaffordable."

"But would such people come to an amusement park to play?"

Seeing the two of them get into a discussion, it really was their extraordinary demeanor and looks that stood out in the crowd, instantly attracting public attention. It was strange indeed if they didn’t draw attention and comments.
