Huh? Watching a movie? Isn't that something couples do?
She had lived here for five years, but she had never watched a movie alone with Song Kaicheng.
"Kaicheng Ge, don't you have to go to work this afternoon?" Shen Xi blinked, reminding him.
"The company isn't busy lately, and I've arranged everything. Didn't Mayor Abel say to accompany you the whole time?" Song Kaicheng looked at her with a smile.
Accompany her the whole time? Did Kaicheng Ge misunderstand?
Mayor Abel had only said for Kaicheng Ge to accompany her the whole time when she went to see him for treatment, not to accompany her all day.
Although she loved watching sci-fi films, she felt it would be awkward to sit with a man who had confessed his feelings to her and been rejected.
Suddenly, she remembered the email Jian Fan had sent her, which she hadn't read carefully yet.
"Kaicheng Ge, I want to go back and deal with K City's..." Before she could finish the word "business," Shen Xi suddenly saw Su Chengyu pushing the door open from outside, and her voice stopped abruptly.
He was followed by two men in black, who looked like bodyguards.
At this moment, she wasn't wearing a mask. If he saw her, it would be trouble.
Shen Xi immediately lowered her head and stood up sideways. "Kaicheng Ge, weren't you going to watch a movie? Let's go quickly."
"Okay." Song Kaicheng felt as if he had gone from hell to heaven. He stood up excitedly and walked to her side.
He didn't even consider why her attitude had suddenly made a 180-degree turn.
Shen Xi naturally hooked her arm through his and walked towards the staircase.
As soon as they entered the elevator, Su Chengyu realized something was wrong.
He had scanned the lobby earlier and seemed to have seen a familiar profile.
There was a woman who looked very much like Yin Xi.
Had she not died? Had that wicked woman Shen Xi lied to him?
But what about that tombstone?
"Do you see where those two people went?" Su Chengyu pointed to where Shen Xi had been sitting and asked the bodyguards behind him in a low voice in English.
Only by finding the woman from earlier could he uncover the whole truth.
One of the bodyguards replied, "They got into the elevator."
Upon hearing this, Su Chengyu immediately rushed towards the elevator entrance and saw that the elevator had stopped on the sixth floor.
He immediately pressed the button for another elevator and headed straight for the sixth floor.
Upon arriving at the movie theater lobby on the sixth floor, Shen Xi said, "Kaicheng Ge, you get the tickets first, I'm going to the restroom."
As Shen Xi reached the restroom corridor and peeked out while leaning against the wall, she saw Su Chengyu rushing into the lobby and looking around.
She immediately withdrew and covered her pounding chest.
After a while, when she peeked out again, she saw Su Chengyu slowly walking out of the lobby with a disappointed look on his face.
Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief and walk into the restroom.
A few minutes later, when she came out, Song Kaicheng had already bought the tickets and was waiting for her at the ticket gate.
He was also carrying a large bag of snacks and drinks.
Shen Xi strode over, had her ticket checked, and entered the theater.
Her hanging heart finally settled down.
Soon, the movie began.
The film was exquisitely produced, with stunning visuals, truly deserving the name of a sci-fi blockbuster.
However, Shen Xi couldn't focus on watching it, her mind in turmoil.
She wondered what she would do if she encountered Su Chengyu again when she left.
Then she thought of Qin Siye. He hadn't contacted her since they parted last night, and she didn't know what state he had left her home in.
Song Kaicheng had been by her side all morning, so she hadn't had a chance to call him and ask.
Just then, her phone suddenly received a WeChat notification.
Shen Xi slowly took it out to check. It was Qin Siye.
She immediately dimmed the screen, turned her body to the side, and tapped it open. The message displayed the following words: "Xi Xi, where are you now?"
Shen Xi secretly glanced at Song Kaicheng, hesitated slightly, and finally replied, "At the Imperial Capital Building."
A moment later, the other party sent two words, "Which floor?"
Shen Xi replied, "The sixth floor."
This time, the delay was a little longer. After about half a minute, Qin Siye sent her a message, "You're not watching a movie with Song Kaicheng, are you?"
Shen Xi thought about it and decided to put some pressure on him, replying, "You guessed right."
He was currently eating and living at her place, and it was a bit too much that he hadn't contacted her for so long.
But after waiting for a few minutes, there was no reaction from Qin Siye.
