Lu Zhiyuan’s breathing grew heavy; this scene was incredibly stimulating for him. Gu Ci felt a strong sense of proximity between them.
“Who taught you that?” Lu Zhiyuan asked hoarsely, his eyes bloodshot.
“I was just teasing you. I’m self-taught,” Gu Ci’s sweet words flowed effortlessly. “I miss you. I can’t sleep or rest properly. It’s very painful…”
“That sounds familiar.” Lu Zhiyuan pinched her waist. Gu Ci smiled and dodged, playfully allowing him to pinch her.
Gu Ci became furious. She glared at him and struggled in his arms.
Lu Zhiyuan tried to control himself. “Don’t move!”
Gu Ci noticed that he was burning hot, causing her face to flush.
“Did you copy romantic lines from the internet to deceive me?”
Gu Ci was left speechless.
Lu Zhiyuan lowered his head and bit her shoulder. Gu Ci hit him. “That’s very uncomfortable.”
“It’s good that you realize it’s uncomfortable.” Lu Zhiyuan hugged her tightly and took a deep breath. He bit her shoulder, leaving a mark. Despite his anger, he had good self-control. After calming down, he warned, “If you dare to play games again, I’ll teach you a lesson.”
“I won’t dare to do it again.” Gu Ci obediently promised not to provoke him.
“Do you truly miss me?”
“Yes!”
Lu Zhiyuan mocked, “Weren’t you and Zhou Li thrilled to escape and livestream? Your fans have taken over the internet. You’re the nation’s sweetheart, hehe.”
Gu Ci sincerely replied, “Third Brother, you’re every girl’s dream. You’re the nation’s first love.”
She wasn’t lying. When Lu Zhiyuan played on the field, he had the charm of a first love. At night, he portrayed the male lead in the horror story “Don’t Talk to Strangers.”
Lu Zhiyuan felt better after being comforted. The anger and jealousy that had consumed him for the past few days were largely pacified by Gu Ci’s sweet words.
Gu Ci asked, “Are you done with your training today?”
“Yes!”
“Shall we go watch a movie?”
The last time they watched a movie, Lu Zhiyuan had always felt that Gu Ziyu was a third wheel. Since Gu Ci invited him, there was no reason for him to decline. He looked Gu Ci up and down and said with a serious face, “Change your clothes.”
“Is there something wrong with my outfit?” Gu Ci chose the sexiest dress from her wardrobe.
Lu Zhiyuan leaned closer with a wicked smile. “Only I am allowed to see you in that.”
He would want to gouge out the eyes of anyone who dared to look twice.
Lu Zhiyuan went upstairs to take a shower. Seriously, this was his first date with Gu Ci. He dressed in a designer outfit—a low-cut black silk shirt with a silver wolf head hidden beneath his chest, giving him a slightly wild look. He wore black casual pants, tucking his shirt into his waist, and paired it with black and white casual shoes. His legs were incredibly attractive.
Lu Zhiyuan combed his hair in front of the mirror, sprayed perfume, and put on his watch.
Li Jiang couldn’t help but think even a peacock’s courtship isn’t as ostentatious as yours, Third Young Master.
Gu Ci and Lu Zhiyuan had a telepathic connection. They both wore white shirts tucked into black trousers and matching casual shoes. They could pass for a poster couple no matter where they stood.
Both of them wore masks in the cinema. Gu Ci took the initiative to hold Lu Zhiyuan’s hand, intertwining their fingers like any other couple. She had booked tickets for the 3 o’clock show, and they arrived ten minutes early. Gu Ci took Lu Zhiyuan to buy boba tea.
“I’ll have a strawberry milkshake. What about you?”
Lu Zhiyuan didn’t bother choosing; it was too sweet for his taste. He glanced at the other couples, each with their own cup of milk tea, and selected the most expensive one.
In Third Young Master Lu’s opinion, among competing products, the expensive one must be better than the cheap one.
After getting their boba teas, Gu Ci took a photo and sent it to Gu Ziyu. She wasn’t one to flaunt her love, and neither was Lu Zhiyuan. On their first date, both of them felt inexplicably shy.
Perhaps it was because Gu Ci’s height, dress, and demeanor were too eye-catching. Lu Zhiyuan was used to being in the limelight, but Gu Ci wasn’t. She had developed the habit of hiding in the crowd during her time in prison, not accustomed to being in the spotlight.
“What’s wrong?” Lu Zhiyuan sensed her unease.
Gu Ci didn’t expect him to perceive her subtle emotions. “I’m afraid you’ll be recognized.”
“So what if they recognize me?”
“The adoration of those billions of girls will be shattered. Your fans might go after you.”
“I don’t rely on my fans to make money.” Lu Zhiyuan felt proud and defiant. “I’m a world champion. I don’t need fans.”
Gu Ci had booked a couple’s lounge, which was spacious, secluded, and offered privacy. As they settled into their seats, the movie hadn’t started yet. Gu Ci asked, “Do you like the boba tea?”
“It’s not good.” Lu Zhiyuan found it distasteful and didn’t drink it.
Gu Ci turned her head, following his straw, and took a sip. “It’s very sweet.”
Her hair brushed against Lu Zhiyuan’s face, making his heart flutter. Lu Zhiyuan exclaimed, “Gu Ci…”
“What?” Gu Ci raised her head and was kissed by him. Gu Ci’s heart trembled, and she responded with a gentle kiss. Lu Zhiyuan licked his lips. “That’s quite sweet.”
Gu Ci blushed. Lu Zhiyuan seemed to savor the moment. “Let me try yours.”
She handed him her boba tea, and Lu Zhiyuan purposely followed the lipstick mark as he took a sip. He spoke with a double entendre, “This one is quite sweet too.”
Gu Ci held her boba tea and took a sip. “Yes, it’s very sweet.”
The movie they watched was a romantic one. At the beginning, Lu Zhiyuan had the intention to mock it. The male and female leads met, and the female lead fell from a tree, accidentally colliding with the male lead. They ended up hugging each other, rolling on the grass, and kissing.
Lu Zhiyuan was left speechless.
Forced sweetness, like artificial candy being shoved into his mouth.
As the plot progressed, the main characters misinterpreted each other, reconciled, and repeated the same cycle. Lu Zhiyuan silently cursed the producers. Besides the visually appealing scenes, there was nothing of value. He felt drowsy. Gu Ci observed as he reclined in his chair and fell asleep, unable to contain her laughter.
This was too rushed.
She should have chosen an action movie instead. As expected, he would doze off during a romance film. He knew he couldn’t watch a romance movie, yet he insisted on it.
In the second half of the movie, the male lead got into a car accident while chasing the female lead. The surround sound startled Lu Zhiyuan awake, and he found himself witnessing a car crash scene.
“Such bad luck!” Lu Zhiyuan remarked.
Gu Ci suppressed her laughter. She hooked her pinky finger with his and scratched his palm. A sound was heard from the neighboring seats. Lu Zhiyuan caught a glimpse of a couple kissing in the dark cinema. Their sounds were quite obvious, and he could even hear the girl’s giggles.
Lu Zhiyuan turned to Gu Ci and asked, “Why don’t they get a room?”
The ambiguous sounds from the adjacent seats abruptly ceased.
Gu Ci was left speechless.
She facepalmed and thought to herself, “Lu Zhiyuan, if I watch a movie with you for a third time, I’m a dumbass.”
The guy next to them whispered, “What’s it to you? This is a couple’s lounge. If you have the guts, you can kiss your partner too.”
Lu Zhiyuan, brimming with youthful energy at the age of 20, was ready to retort. He replied mockingly, “I’ll pay for your hotel room. Can you shut up now, little brother?”
Gu Ci held his hand and intertwined their fingers. She spoke softly, “Don’t be stubborn.”
“He insulted me.” Lu Zhiyuan was filled with arrogance. “Who else dares to insult me besides you?”
“Go back to sleep..”
