Chapter 297: Chapter 141 Su Huai, Why Did You Just Arrive!_2

If Mr. Tongzi is giving out benefits to the brothers, and you could only choose between Benefit A, which is 1% of Douyin’s shares, or Benefit B, a chain of Yida movie theaters, which would you pick?

Su Huai would definitely choose the latter, even if the theoretical market value was 10 billion less.

Gu Jiuyue couldn’t imagine that her 19-year-old peer and good friend would be audacious enough to set her sights on someone’s movie theater chain, so she asked with both confusion and curiosity, "Do you like movies?"

I like collecting protection money from the entertainment industry...

With a quirky smile on his face, Su Huai casually replied, "I haven’t had much time to watch them before, but I plan to watch a few more in the future."

Gu Jiuyue took it seriously.

She nodded in agreement with a deep sense of camaraderie, "I also didn’t have time to watch movies before, my family wouldn’t allow it... How about we go watch a movie later?!"

Her tone sounded as if she was about to undertake a great adventure, inviting her friend to join her in the thrill of the unknown before setting off.

"Haha!"

Su Huai couldn’t help but laugh out loud, happily agreeing, "OK, let’s do that!"

He himself didn’t feel any overwhelming sense of indulgence emanating, but Wu, Andy, and the young nurse up front, who were all ears, couldn’t help but smile at the sweetness of it all.

Gu Jiuyue looked down at her phone and opened it, staring at the minimalist interface with a frown.

"How do I check the movie listings?"

Su Huai glanced at her phone and said with a smile, "You can just ask Siri."

Gu Jiuyue immediately did as suggested, mumbling into her phone, "Siri, Siri, please help me find the movie listings for today!"

She was completely oblivious to the poor Siri that was already spinning in circles and added cheerfully, "Oh, and I’m in Hainan, Sanya!"

Then Siri replied, "I need to turn on your... Sorry, I can’t perform that action right now. Would you like me to open the built-in browser?"

"Huh?!"

⊙o⊙

Gou Huai watched as her eyes widened in shock and her lips puckered into a round shape. He almost died laughing.

Her phone was completely clean of any entertainment apps, making things too hard for Siri.

Of course, Gou Huai didn’t just watch for the amusement.

In a rough voice, he took over the conversation, "Please wait, Princess Yueyue, your male Siri will be at your service shortly!"

Seeing Su Huai open up the Taopiaopiao app on his phone, Gu Jiuyue finally realized what was happening and slapped him lightly in annoyance.

"You’re so annoying!"

The slap was so light, it was more like a push, and then, not even a second later, she leaned in curiously with her little head.

"Ah, so you need to download a special app to watch movies outside...

Without thinking, Su Huai replied off-the-cuff, "You don’t do that at home?"

Gu Jiuyue immediately nodded, "Right, at home you just say it out loud!"

Good grief, look at how this family has spoiled Gu Xiaojiu!

"Being friends with you is really worrisome."

Su Huai made a teasing comment, which she took seriously, and began to explain in a hurry.

"It’s okay, it’s okay, from now on, when I go out, I’ll bring an extra assistant. She can handle everything for me, and you can ask me for anything too!"

Isn’t this too good to be true?

The joy of being a kept man was so real and stark in front of Su Huai that it made him sigh.

Low EQ: Wow, it’s so good to be friends with a rich, beautiful woman!

High EQ: "Why bring an assistant? I can take care of you. It’s most comfortable and free to hang out in the city with fewer people."

Gu Jiuyue was extremely happy, trying to keep her lips pursed, but she just couldn’t press down the smile.

Finally, she replied cheerfully, "That’s a deal, let’s hang out together when we get back to the Imperial Capital—just the two of us!"

This wasn’t going to work.

That’s what Wu thought to herself, but she hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand, afraid she would laugh out loud.

As the person closest to Gu Jiuyue, Wu hadn’t seen her mistress so happy in a long time. When was the last time? She probably had to think back a few years...

The three silent sugar-craving spectators watched as Su Huai quickly found today’s movie showtimes listed on the screen.

"A Chinese Odyssey Part Three!"

Gu Jiuyue spotted a poster and exclaimed excitedly.

At this moment, her demeanor was completely different from the sharpness she had earlier when easily seeing through Wang’s intentions.

Su Huai felt an invisible yet strong pull.

She wasn’t doing it on purpose, but both of her personas were incredibly charming—who could withstand that?

Any man under 30, knowing her, was doomed!

’Thank goodness I’m rounding up to 40 soon...’ Su Huai muttered to himself.

He knew the truth well—he was not just joking—the hack was the key, not the age.

If it hadn’t been for Mr. Tongzi, he still couldn’t have handled it.

Alright, no ifs, buddy, you’re the man she couldn’t get no matter how awesome you are!

After a round of smug self-mockery in his heart, Su Huai teased her on purpose, "Want to watch?"

"Yeah!"

Gu Jiuyue nodded directly, without playing any guessing games, her face full of anticipation, "I’ve seen both A Chinese Odyssey Part One and Two, they were quite touching."

"Cut it out, it’s not the same thing."

Su Huai pointed to the film information for her to see, "Starring Han Geng, Tang Yan, He Jiong, Xie Nan, directed by Liu Zhenwei... Just seeing the list makes my scalp tingle."

A hint of confusion appeared in Gu Jiuyue’s eyes, "Is it going to be that bad?"

"99% probably."

"Why?" Gu Jiuyue tilted her head, "Isn’t Liu Zhenwei the director of A Chinese Odyssey Part One and Two?"

She was genuinely asking for advice, but Su Huai didn’t know how to explain.

With such a creative team, whom should he discriminate against?

Forget it, treat them all the same...

And so, Gou Huai struck with a blow, annihilating everyone.

"A Chinese Odyssey can’t be considered Liu Zhenwei’s work, it’s Stephen Chow’s. Ever since those two movies, Liu has directed nothing but a series of crazy, nonsensical, lousy films..."

Continuing his tirade from the director to the seventh male lead, Su Huai only stopped when he ran out of people he recognized.

He didn’t even spare Wu Jing, who was present at that moment.

Never competent with dramatic roles, then playing a nonsensically crazy Monk Tang, I remember the first time I watched the movie, Su Huai was so flabbergasted that his toes almost curled into a three-bedroom apartment.

Gu Jiuyue listened obediently with her cheeks propped up, smiling through Su Huai’s rant, though it was unclear what exactly she found amusing.

When Su Huai had had his fill of ranting, she casually pointed to the next movie, "What about that one?"

Su Huai saw it was "Passing by Your World," starring Deng Chao, Yang Yang, Bai Baihe, and Zhang Tianai.

And her finger, ironically, landed right on Yang Yang’s name.

What does she mean by that?

Wants me to roast him?

Boy, do I have a vocabulary for that...

Su Huai ventured cautiously, "Who’s this? Looks familiar."

Gu Jiuyue responded seriously, "The newest male idol of this year! Last month he starred in ’Just One Smile Is Very Alluring,’ even Tingting and Chen Lan are nearly infatuated with him."

Gou Huai couldn’t discern her true intent because her mood was simply joyful, without any complexity.

But knowing Gu Jiuyue...

Princess Yueyue definitely didn’t chase stars, and her impression of Yang Yang was just limited to "having been briefed by the girls"; she couldn’t be wrong.

"Him?..."

Gou Huai scoffed disdainfully, ramping up the shade.

"I know him, just a little fresh meat that came from idol dramas, stone-faced, pretending to be handsome, always shoving his hands in his pockets, gazing up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, showing off his chiseled jawline, and saying: Don’t cry, I’ll only care about you..."

As he spoke, Gou Huai even performed for Gu Jiuyue.

Lifting his head toward the car ceiling, he stretched his chin forward as if to touch her face with his jawbone.

Then with a deadpan face, he looked mournfully downward and feigned calm while barely concealing his amusement as he said, "Gugu, I’ll just be friends with you. Don’t ask who they are; they aren’t worthy."

"Pfft!"

"Bang, bang!"

Sprayed with laughter, everything sprayed...

Except for Wu, who didn’t look back while driving, Andy, who turned to watch his antics, burst out laughing on the spot, the little nurse immediately covered her face, knocking against the car seat, and even Gu Jiuyue, who seemed the calmest, suddenly grabbed his arm, bowed her head, her shoulders shaking...

Gou Huai was both smug and in pain, his expression contorted.

Damn it, her fingernails are really hurting me!

Yet he didn’t give up and continued to tease Gu Jiuyue, wheezing and chuckling for mercy, "Stop, stop, let go of me! Isn’t it enough that I’m not being slick anymore..."

Gu Jiuyue just couldn’t hold back anymore and leaned her head onto his shoulder, giggling uncontrollably, her face flushed red.

In fact, she didn’t even know which part of his antics hit her funny bone, but she just found it hilarious.

Blood rushed to her cheeks, bringing heat and a breathless sensation.

She used to dislike this feeling, but today the little princess realized her heart was beating in a strange, fresh, and lively way that was new to her.

Is this what it feels like to have a fun, good friend?

Su Huai, why did it take you so long to show up!
