Yan Yincheng and Xu Zixi still went to the same cinema as last time.
It was the peak time and the cinema was even more crowded than last time. They were accidentally bumped into by passers - by every few steps. With great difficulty, they squeezed into the ticketing area, only to find that the queue was already very long.
To have a happy and wonderful family day, Yan Yincheng didn't call Wei Shu and the bodyguards this time. He and Xu Zixi went out alone with their kids. Without any help, they had no choice but to join the ticket - buying queue with the kids resignedly.
This was their second time coming to the cinema. Different from the first time, they were now engaged. So they were no longer as reserved as before.
While waiting in the queue, Yan Yincheng's big hand tightly wrapped around Xu Zixi's small one. He almost half - hugged her in front of him, with a cold face, strongly asserting his sovereignty to those who were whispering about their family around them.
Humph, he wasn't deaf. He heard those men drooling over his woman. Give up, his Zixi was already taken!
The closer they got to the counter, the stronger the aroma of popcorn became. Yan Yincheng's stomach couldn't help growling. With his sharp hearing, he immediately held his breath and looked around warily. Only when he found that Xu Zixi was concentrating on talking to the two kids did he feel relieved.
Finally, it was their turn. Xu Zixi bought four movie tickets skillfully. Then she smiled at the ticket seller and said, "One jumbo popcorn, two small buckets of popcorn, and four Cokes. Thank you."
Yan Yincheng felt his ears getting a bit hot and his heart filled with a sweet feeling. He didn't expect that before he even opened his mouth, Zixi had already bought everything, and it was a jumbo - sized popcorn. Well.
After paying with Yan Yincheng's black card, Xu Zixi turned around and saw the man looking hungry but trying to act serious. She almost burst out laughing on the spot. Her Acheng was just as gluttonous as Yuan Xiaoxu when he was craving something.
On the way to the screening hall, feeling the crowded crowd, Yan Yincheng complained, "Why can't we go to a cinema where only two people can watch movies?"
What for? So you can do something indescribable when there's no one around? Xu Zixi rolled her eyes at him impatiently and said, "The kids are going to kindergarten tomorrow. They need to get used to the complex environment in advance. Besides, it's lively with more people, right, babies?"
The two kids were skipping and jumping happily on their short legs. Xuanxuan nodded in agreement, "Yes, baby likes it lively!"
Xuxu nodded with a mouthful of popcorn, "Yes, like popcorn and Coke!!"
Yan Yincheng had no choice but to shut up aggrievedly.
Xu Zixi's seat was next to Yan Yincheng's, and the two kids sat on each of their sides. After they sat down, the movie started soon.
Accompanied by a cute and cheerful piece of music, a vast expanse of blue ocean appeared on the screen. Seagulls flew over the sea. Then several pink dolphins leaped out of the water, and the splashes fell on the camera, forming the name of this environmental - themed cartoon.
"Deep Blue Dream Island".
The protagonist of the cartoon was a fish living deep in the sea. It had many companions and lived in a very beautiful place. It used to live care - free with its companions. But one day, it gradually noticed that the number of its companions was decreasing. At first, it and its companions didn't take it seriously. It wasn't until its best friend disappeared that it realized something was wrong.
In order to find out the truth, it bravely ventured into the sea alone. After going through all kinds of perils, it finally learned the reason for the disappearance of its companions - the evil two - legged beasts on land had spread a message saying that their kind of fish tasted extremely delicious, had high nutritional value, and could prolong one's life if eaten.
This message scared the fish. It wanted to swim back and tell the news to its companions. But accidentally, its tail made a splash and was noticed by the two - legged beasts on the shore. The two - legged beasts started chasing it.
Fortunately, the little fish had many friends in the sea. Killer whales, pink dolphins, Grandpa Turtle, and the giant squid all helped it escape the pursuit of the two - legged beasts. In the end, the little fish led its companions to a beautiful uninhabited island to live, where they no longer had to worry about being caught and eaten.
The story was actually very simple, but it boasted a beautiful and cute painting style. The humorous and witty lines always made the audience laugh. Even adults could watch it with great interest.
Xu Zixi couldn't help laughing while watching the movie. By chance, she turned her head and saw that her Mr. Ocean was also looking very interested - but not because of the movie, but because of the Coke and popcorn.
Xu Zixi had an idea. She took out her phone and snapped a picture of him putting popcorn into his mouth. Hearing the shutter sound, Yan Yincheng stopped his action and said seriously, "You're taking a picture of me? It's so dark here. You can't take a good picture. Delete that one just now. We'll take another one when we get out."
Xu Zixi put away her phone. Looking at the popcorn beside him, good grief, he had already eaten most of the jumbo - sized popcorn.
Trying not to laugh, she said, "I won't delete it. I'll keep it so Mom and Aunt Yan can see. It's the best evidence that you don't need to be picky about food at all."
But was the popcorn in this cinema really that fragrant? She had tasted it last time and it wasn't that good.
Xu Zixi watched the movie and involuntarily started grabbing popcorn to eat. As soon as it entered her mouth, her tongue was filled with a cloyingly sweet taste. After swallowing it, she muttered, "It's just so - so."
However, her hand still uncontrollably reached for the popcorn, but what she grabbed wasn't food, but a... familiar palm.
His fingers intertwined with hers. Maybe it was the sweet popcorn playing tricks, but her heart started pounding. She looked up blankly. Beside her, the tall figure leaned towards her, and his breath became clearer.
The sweetness left by the popcorn was covered by another kind of sweetness. The taste buds transmitted that sweet taste to the bottom of her heart, and the pleasant dopamine was secreted rapidly, making Xu Zixi smile with her eyes bent.
Their foreheads touching, the man asked in a low voice, "Is it delicious?"
Xu Zixi said mischievously, "Not delicious."
Then, she tasted that sweeter and more cloying taste again. Just as they were immersed in it, the chair behind them was kicked.
"Hey, can you sit properly? You're blocking my view!"
This sudden voice startled Xu Zixi. She quickly pushed the man in front of her away. Just as she was about to apologize to the person behind her, she suddenly realized that both she and Yan Yincheng were extremely familiar with this voice.
She turned around. Their eyes met. After the person saw Xu Zixi's face clearly by the light of the screen, he stammered,
"E - Eldest Miss!"
