There was an endless stream of people at the entrance of the theater. Seeing the disappointment in Gu Yian's eyes growing thicker by the minute, Mu Chuqing hurried to open the car door, unable to bear the sight of his disappointed state.
"Yian!" Mu Chuqing called out loudly.
Gu Yian suddenly raised his head, catching sight of Mu Chuqing, who was just a few steps away from him, his dark eyes now reflecting immense happiness.
He briskly walked toward her.
"You're here!"
After all these years, Mu Chuqing felt that it was the first time she had seen Gu Yian smile so bright and brilliantly.
That kind of happiness seemed to radiate from the depth of his body. As Gu Yian looked at her, that smile felt warm enough to melt snow and make a flower bloom.
Feeling her heart warmed, Mu Chuqing nodded her head.
Gu Yian exhaled a long breath, his face was relaxed.
"Chuqing, thank you for coming!"
Hearing this, Mu Chuqing's face stiffened before she said, "Let's watch the movie!"
"Hold on!"
Gu Yian turned to leave, and moments later returned with popcorn and can of coke.
"Let's go!"
Mu Chuqing was stunned and then giggled a while later. "You look like a man on his first date…"
"…" Gu Yian's faced turned slightly red. Mu Chuqing's words came to an abrupt end as she realized the underlying meaning of her words, and a trace of embarrassment flashed across her face.
Mu Chuqing felt a bit uncomfortable and secretly bit her lips, feeling at a loss for what to do.
Gu Yian smiled and stuffed popcorn and coke into Mu Chuqing's arms.
"Let's go. I have checked for reviews online for a long time, and this movie has a good reputation. The most important point is, your idol is one of the main leads!"
"What, Little Pig (nickname of the celebrity)?" Hearing this, Mu Chuqing suddenly clapped as she screamed a bit in her excitement. She looked at Gu Yian with satisfaction, and he just nodded repeatedly.
"I know what movie you're talking about, let's hurry!"
Mu Chuqing held the bag of popcorn and the can of coke and excitedly dragged Gu Yian.
The movie was indeed good. The theme revolved around environment protection, with some elements of humor as the selling point. There was also a touch of emotional and thought-provoking instances to balance the humor.
When the duo walked out of the cinema, they were hit by a rush of cold misty air.
"Wow, it rained just now!"
Mu Chuqing exclaimed at the entrance of the cinema as she wrapped her arms around her shoulder.
Gu Yian smiled and said, "But the timing is so coincidental, it stopped after the movie ended!"
"You're right!"
Seeing Mu Chuqing shivering slightly due to cold, Gu Yian wanted to take off his clothing to cover her from the cold, but he was only wearing a shirt today.
"Wait here for a while, I'm going to buy some milk tea!"
"Okay!" Mu Chuqing nodded.
As she watched Gu Yian leave, Mu Chuqing was pushed due to the crowd's movement and came at the end of the stairs.
The pavement at the cinema entrance was not smooth, and there was a big puddle of water at the end of the stairs. Mu Chuqing was directly shoved into the puddle, and water seeped into her shoes. At the same time, a car suddenly passed by, and water was splashed onto her body, drenching her from head to toe.
"Ah!" shouted Mu Chuqing, inviting sighs from the crowd.
"Chuqing!"
Gu Yian just happened to witness this scene as he came back with two cups of milk tea. He ran over and "saved" Mu Chuqing by pulling her out of the puddle.
He used his white sleeves to hurriedly clean Mu Chuqing's wet face and hair.
He apologized guiltily as he continued cleaning her.
"Sorry Chuqing, it's all my fault. I should have let you wait in the car… No, I shouldn't even have thought about that bad idea of buying milk tea!"
Mu Chuqing smiled and shook her head. "Who knew this will happen, accidents are bound to happen in life!"
Gu Yian stopped cleaning Mu Chuqing's hair and pulled her to his car.
"No, you'll get sick. I'll bring you to a hotel first. You go ahead and wash up, I will go get some clothes for you!"
Hotel?
Mu Chuqing was a little reluctant, but seeing the back of Gu Yian, she agreed since she was sure of Gu Yian's decent and modest gentlemanly character. Another reason was that she could not afford to fall sick with the current situation of her company.
There is usually no shortage of hotels near these famous theatres.
Within a few minutes, Gu Yian had already brought a disheveled Mu Chuqing into the hotel room.
Gu Yian did not enter the room but stood outside after swiping the room card. He then passed the card to Mu Chuqing.
"Get a good bath, what style of clothes do you want?"
Mu Chuqing was immensely thankful for the gentlemanly attitude of Gu Yian. She reached out to take the room card before replying, "Just a set of sportswear will do! Thank you, Yian!"
Guilt filled Gu Yian's eyes when he heard her. "Don't say that I'll feel even more guilty!"
"Okay!" Mu Chuqing nodded, Gu Yian could see her beautiful face was now slightly pale, her usually rosy lips turned purple. Her pink bra was faintly visible through her wet white shirt. He dodged his eyes, moving his gaze away from the sight as he turned around and coughed. "Hurry in. I'll let an attendant send the clothes in!"
Mu Chuqing could feel Gu Yian's gaze just now. She raised her hand to her chest and responded awkwardly.
Taking off her clothes and holding on to her equally wet underwear, embarrassment flashed across her face.
Her clothes were drenched with muddy rainwater, the germs and bacteria on them were unthinkable. If she wanted to wear them again, she would have to wash it through and through. However, she could not wear them while they are still wet.
After buying the clothes, Gu Yian went to the cinema's parking area and drove Mu Chuqing's car to the hotel.
After getting off the car, he glanced at the bag her was carrying, and a helpless smile hung on the corner of his lips.
Mu Chuqing's car was not a model he was familiar with, so he was not very flexible while controlling the key.
Carrying the bags to the hotel entrance, he turned to ensure the car was locked.
The moment he turned around, Gu Yian ran into someone, and the package in his hand fell.
"I'm sorry…"
"Master Gu!"
Just as Gu Yian was about to pick up the fallen clothes, he heard someone call him.
He looked up and saw Zuo Yi supporting a Caucasian with a burly figure. Seeing the Caucasian man's red face, he was probably drunk.
Sheng Yuchen was standing beside Zuo Yi, dressed in black and holding a woman with golden hair in his arms. Her hair was long and fluffy, so her face could not be seen clearly. The woman was also drunk, and her hand was indiscreetly roaming and caressing Sheng Yuchen's chest.
