Chapter 83: Watching a Movie

“Grandpa wants to talk to you.” Lu Qingyun handed the phone to Ling Yao.

Ling Yao nodded and took the phone, “Hello, Grandpa Lu! It’s Ling Yao.”

A hearty laughter came from the other end of the phone. The voice was full of energy,

“Yaoyao, when are you coming to Grandpa’s house with Qingyun? Grandpa will prepare some delicious food for you.”

“Okay, Grandpa! I’ll come see you after I’m on break.” Ling Yao could feel Grandpa Lu’s happiness through the phone.

“Okay, then you should call Grandpa more often. If that boy bullies you, tell Grandpa. Grandpa will beat him up for you.” Grandpa Lu laughed happily.

Ling Yao couldn’t help but laugh too. She glanced triumphantly at Lu Qingyun, “Okay, Grandpa! I’ll remember that.”

Lu Qingyun smiled and took the phone back. He chatted with Grandpa Lu for a few more minutes and hung up.

“Let’s go watch the movie.”

“Okay.”

The two of them arrived at the cinema. Although it wasn’t Sunday, the cinema was packed with people, bustling with activity.

“Wait for me here. I’ll be right back.” Lu Qingyun saw popcorn being sold nearby and told Ling Yao before going over.

 He had already bought the movie tickets when he picked up Yaoyao.

Lu Qingyun bought popcorn and two bottles of soda and walked towards Ling Yao.

“Wow, what a beautiful girl! Come watch a movie with your brother.” Two men wearing floral shirts, looking like hooligans, walked up to Ling Yao.

Ling Yao didn’t even give them a glance. No matter what era it was, men like that were everywhere, like rats.

“She’s got a bit of personality. Your brother likes that. Hahaha…”

 One of the men said, reaching out with his hand to take advantage of Ling Yao.

Ling Yao was about to take action, but a foot kicked the man hard, sending him flying.

Lu Qingyun’s face was ashen as he looked at the man on the ground, his eyes filled with a chilling aura, “Scram, or you’ll die!”

The two men were so scared that they didn’t even dare to breathe. They stumbled and crawled towards the exit.

“Are you okay?” Lu Qingyun looked at Ling Yao with concern.

Ling Yao shook her head, “I’m fine. Let’s go in.”

They walked into the screening room. The movie had already started. The only light was the big screen in front. Everything else was pitch black.

“Be careful. I’ll hold your hand.” Lu Qingyun was worried that Ling Yao wouldn’t be able to see and might trip. He reached out and took her hand.

The moment his palm felt her softness, his heart pounded like thunder, and his ears turned a faint red.

His eyes had been specially trained. Even in the pitch black, he could see everything around him.

Feeling the warmth of his hand, Ling Yao’s hand trembled slightly. The words she was about to say were swallowed back down.

 Since she had the space, she had been reborn, as if she had been transformed.

 Even her five senses were far more sensitive than ordinary people. Even in this dark cinema, she could see clearly.

Lu Qingyun tightened his grip on Ling Yao’s hand, a joyful smile on his lips.

Ling Yao glanced at Lu Qingyun and smiled faintly. Lu Qingyun’s hand was warm and strong, giving her a sense of security.

They arrived at their seats, and Lu Qingyun reluctantly let go of Ling Yao’s hand. He handed her the soda.

Ling Yao took the soda, and her fingers accidentally brushed against Lu Qingyun’s.

A jolt of electricity ran through their fingertips, like a lightning bolt straight to their hearts, causing their heartbeats to speed up involuntarily, as if they were going to jump out of their throats.

Lu Qingyun rubbed his fingers. A happy smile spread across his lips.

Ling Yao lowered her head and took a sip of soda, pretending to be nonchalant as she watched the movie.

The movie was touching and exciting. When it ended, it was already dark outside, and a light drizzle had started.

“Wait for me here. I’ll go get the car.” Lu Qingyun said and ran out.

Ling Yao watched Lu Qingyun’s back, a slight smile curving her lips. Perhaps she could give it a try with him.

Soon, Lu Qingyun drove the car over. He opened the car door, opened his umbrella, and walked to Ling Yao, “Let’s go.”

“Okay.”

Lu Qingyun drove Ling Yao to her doorstep and handed her the umbrella. He looked at her reluctantly,

 “I’m going back now. I’ll pick you up after school tomorrow.” He only had a three-day break.

He didn’t want to waste a single minute or second with Yaoyao.

“You keep the umbrella. I’ll be home. I don’t need it.” Ling Yao pushed the umbrella back to Lu Qingyun.

“Go inside quickly. I’m leaving.” Lu Qingyun didn’t take the umbrella.

He smiled at Ling Yao and turned to walk towards the entrance of the alley with long strides.

Ling Yao watched Lu Qingyun’s back, a sense of reluctance rising in her heart.

“Yaoyao, is that you?” Ji Yanting’s voice came from inside.

“It’s me.” Ling Yao looked away and pushed open the door to go inside.

Back at the guesthouse, Lu Qingyun took a shower and lay in bed, staring at the ceiling.

A smile occasionally appeared on his lips. He was happy today. He felt that he and Yaoyao were closer.

Unconsciously, Lu Qingyun fell asleep.

In his dream, the girl he had been thinking about appeared before him.

She lowered her head and kissed his forehead, slowly moving down to kiss his lips…

Her fingertips traced his chest, causing a shiver to run through him…

Lu Qingyun woke up from his dream, blushing, as dawn approached. He glanced at his pants and sighed, shaking his head.

 He couldn’t believe he had that kind of dream. It was embarrassing to even think about.

He sat up, changed into a clean pair of pants, and then resignedly took his pants to the bathroom.

Rubbing his pants, Lu Qingyun remembered the scene from his dream.

 A surge of lust uncontrollably surged towards a certain place.

He shook his head vigorously, trying to shake those embarrassing images out of his mind, but they became even clearer.

Ling Yao walked out of the schoolyard. She didn’t see the familiar car.

Just as she was wondering, she saw Yang Guofu walking towards her.

“I’ve decided. I agree.”

Ling Yao smiled and nodded, “Then we’ll go look at storefronts this Sunday.”

“Okay.” Yang Guofu was very happy. He didn’t know if this decision was right, but since he had made it, he chose to believe Ling Yao.

“Also, about the housing, go to Longteng Pharmaceutical and find Zhao Kun. Tell him I sent you. He’ll arrange it for you.”

She had already told Zhao Kun about this. She knew Yang Guofu would choose her.

“Longteng Pharmaceutical?” Yang Guofu was surprised. He knew about Longteng Pharmaceutical, of course. It was the leading company in Yuncheng.

Ling Yao nodded, “Don’t worry. I’ve already spoken to Zhao Kun. Just go find him.”

“Okay.” Yang Guofu still couldn’t believe it, but since Ling Yao said so, he would try it.

As soon as Yang Guofu left, a jeep slowly stopped beside Ling Yao.

The door opened, and Lu Qingyun, wearing a white shirt and black trousers, got out of the car. He was cool and noble, exuding an imposing aura.
