Jiahui didn't come down after 10 minutes, and of course she didn't let Qi Zihao wait for 100 minutes.
About 20 minutes later, a girl wearing a white sportswear walked down the corridor, stood in front of him cutely, and said a little shyly: "Did I keep you waiting for a long time?"
Qi Zihao stared blankly at the beautiful school girl in front of him, feeling that his heart was about to explode.
He was speechless.
Jiahui's face turned red as she was stared at by Qi Zihao.
"Hey hey hey!"
At this moment, a thirteen- or fourteen-year-old girl in yellow suddenly jumped out from behind Jiahui, baring her teeth and claws at Qi Zihao, whose brain was shutting down: "Are you a fool? What are you doing here?"
Qi Zihao was startled and took a step back instinctively, as if waking up from a dream: "Uh"
Jiahui grabbed the girl in yellow and introduced, "This is my sister Nihui. She wants to come with me, okay?"
Jiahui's younger sister looks 40-50% similar to her, but has an eccentric personality. She is obviously the kind of person who is very courageous and not easy to mess with.
"Boy, do you want to date my sister? If you want to date me, you have to please me first, otherwise"
She breathed through her nostrils and looked at Qi Zihao sideways, with an expression like "I'm a little girl."
Jiahui looked helpless, obviously helpless about her sister.
Qi Zihao was finally not too stupid. He came to his senses and said quickly: "No problem, then let's take sister Nihui with us."
"cut!"
Nihui pouted and said, "Don't call me so affectionate. I'm not your sister. Where can I go to play at night?"
Even though Nihui was several years younger than him, Qi Zihao was still a little frightened when he looked at her, and quickly said: "Shall we go watch a movie? "A Chinese Ghost Story" was released tonight, starring Lu Chen and Filia Chen."
He inquired through a friend that Nihui had recently become obsessed with a TV series called "Blue Life and Death Love", which was being broadcast on the satellite TV station. The male and female protagonists in the TV series were played by Lu Chen and Filia Chen.
So Qi Zihao specifically searched for information about these two stars on the Internet, and then learned about "A Chinese Ghost Story".
Jiahui was pleasantly surprised: "It's great, I just wanted to go see it!"
"Watching a movie again, corny!"
Nihui murmured, seeming reluctant. She would rather go to the video arcade or the skating rink.
How could Qi Zihao care about her feelings? When he saw that Jiahui liked her, a big stone finally fell to his heart.
Of course there is a small problem here.
That is, he only booked two movie tickets online, and he doesn’t know if they are still available at this time.
Fortunately, technology is now advanced and smartphones can be installed with ticket booking apps, so Qi Zihao used his mobile phone to book an additional ticket for Nihui in the taxi.
Tickets for "A Chinese Ghost Story", which was officially released tonight, sold well. He was also lucky enough to catch the last train and grabbed one of the last two tickets. Of course, it was impossible to sit next to the one he originally booked.
But this is exactly what Qi Zihao hopes.
However, he soon discovered that his idea was completely wrong.
After arriving at the cinema to pick up the tickets, Nihui snatched away the two adjacent tickets, leaving Qi Zihao with the newly ordered one, leaving him messy and speechless in the wind.
After all, Qi Zihao was not a fool. Under such circumstances, he did not stupidly stay in the corner and watch. Instead, he discussed with others and paid a price to change seats, and finally sat next to Jiahui.
This made Nihui look at him somewhat differently: "Aren't you stupid?"
Qi Zihao smiled and scratched his head. He looked at Jiahui, his eyes full of joy.
Jiahui blushed again when he saw her and whispered, "It's time to watch a movie."
The lights in the theater dimmed, the opening scene of the movie appeared on the big screen, the voices of the audience disappeared, and everyone's attention was focused...
People in Xiangjiang like to watch movies, and the quality of the audience is usually relatively high. Everyone will consciously keep quiet while watching movies, and their mobile phones will be set to vibrate mode to avoid disturbing other people's viewing.
Qi Zihao looked around and found that the theater with nearly two hundred people was full, and most of the audience were couples.
He couldn't help but steal another glance at Jiahui.
But Jiahui's eyes were only fixed on the screen.
Qi Zihao's attention then turned, he readjusted his sitting posture, and began to enjoy the video.
The first thing that appeared on the screen was the logo of Jiayang Pictures. This logo was not very familiar to Hong Kong audiences, and the logo of Lu Chen Studio that appeared next was even more unfamiliar.
After the brief credits, the movie officially started. A close-up of an old stone monument appeared on the screen. The three characters "Lanruo Temple" appeared in the audience's sight one after another. The background was an ancient temple shrouded in night.
Coupled with the rendering of the soundtrack, a desolate and eerie atmosphere quietly came over, which made the audience's hearts lift.
Qi Zihao, who was originally a little distracted, was also attracted.
The story of "A Chinese Ghost Story" unfolds here. A scholar stays overnight in an ancient temple, a beautiful woman quietly appears, and what seems like a routine encounter turns out to be the beginning of bloodthirsty killings. In just two minutes, the audience is brought into a mysterious and bizarre world.
in the world.
Against the background of brocade cloth as red as blood, four handwritten calligraphy characters of "A Chinese Ghost Story" jumped out on it, and the theme song of the movie "The Road Follows the People" played.
The protagonist Ning Caichen then appeared on the stage, a down-and-out scholar trudging in the wilderness, and his miserable situation formed a perfect fit with the theme song.
Qi Zihao chose to watch "A Chinese Ghost Story" entirely because Jiahui liked the starring role in the film. He himself did not like to watch such fantasy-themed movies, but preferred to watch Hollywood blockbusters.
So he didn't have any expectations for the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story" itself. No matter whether it was good or bad, as long as Jiahui was happy, it would be worth the more than 100 yuan he just spent on the movie ticket.
Yeah, there's also Coke, popcorn, and potato chips.
However, after just a few minutes of watching the beginning, Qi Zihao's interest in watching the movie was piqued, especially the theme song full of ancient charm, which touched his heartstrings and made him involuntarily put himself into the protagonist.
"The road of life is like a long road with beautiful dreams,
The road was windy and frosty, and my face was dry.
How many directions can dreams take in this world of mortals?
Looking for the center of crazy dreams and love, the road is endless!
Life is a dream and a desire,
There were faint tears in the dream,
Where to go to find the direction in my heart,
The wind seemed to be sighing in a dream at the vastness of the roads and people.
…”
Looking at the wandering scholars on the screen and listening to the theme song with melodious melody and distant lyrics, Qi Zihao's mind was no longer on Jiahui sitting next to him.
As for Jiahui, she was staring at the screen without blinking. ——
