The younger sister set down the popcorn and said, "But to be honest, this guy looks really familiar." "You think so too?" The handsome guy’s eyes seemed to sparkle faintly. The younger sister nodded but didn’t think much of it. After all, in Rong City, there were plenty of elites, and celebrities from all over were gathered here; it wasn’t surprising to run into someone famous. But... thinking about that man’s particularly distinctive aura. As the younger sister lowered her head to grab some corn kernels, her gaze suddenly froze, staring at a magazine she had just bought today, lying underneath the counter. Unable to resist picking it up, she screamed, "Ahhh!" "What’s wrong?" In an instant, several busy employees behind the counter turned their eyes towards her. The younger sister raised the magazine and almost stammered, "Feng Chengjin! That man just now was Feng Chengjin! The CEO of Fengyi Company, the number one on Rong City’s rich list, Feng Chengjin!" The excitement drew a number of store employees to gather around, staring at the magazine cover showing a man in a Valen suit, supporting his chin with one hand, a pair of sharp eyes looking down arrogantly, exuding elegance from head to toe. A dark Armani suit and an Audemars Piguet watch highlighted his noble demeanor to the fullest. Especially captivating was that handsome face, showcasing what top-tier male beauty meant to perfection. Yet, even though the magazine cover looked astoundingly handsome, thinking about that cool, distant man from before, the crowd couldn’t help but exclaim in awe, "He is so handsome, even more so than the photo! How can one live !" As the crowd chatted, off in the distance, someone holding a camera overheard the murmurs of the group of employees, wondering if what they saw earlier was a figment of their imagination—two silhouettes—and a hint of gleeful depth flashed in their eyes. In the giant screen theater. From the moment Gu Zixuan sat down, she regretted today’s choice a little. Not to mention, the man next to her maintained his usual cold demeanor, not softening his expression much due to her decision. Listening as the music gradually rose just past the opening scene. She really never thought of herself as someone afraid of ghosts; after being scared by Feng Chengjin in the elevator last time, she just chalked it up as a coincidence. But at this moment, possibly the horror movie’s effects were too intense, with the faint and weak sounds as if coming from a deserted village’s old house, "Ah~~~," she couldn’t help but get nervous. She picked up her hot coffee drink, took a sip, and set it down. There was a faint gulping sound in her throat. In the darkness, Feng Chengjin, with arms crossed, noticed her action, let out a light snort, and turned his head away. Gu Zixuan felt awkward, embarrassed. The plot kept unfolding. Soon, everyone in the giant screen theater started to look tense, especially listening to the phone calls from ghosts, the people dying one by one, the scenes growing darker, as if the appearance of the ghost was drawing near. Many people began gasping and screaming at the slightest plot change. Gu Zixuan gripped the armrest tighter, feeling more and more uneasy. But when she looked at Feng Chengjin, he remained completely impassive, calmly watching the screen, even as many around them started screaming; he stayed the same. Causing Gu Zixuan to admire him, thinking perhaps they weren’t watching the same movie at all. In the depth, Feng Chengjin seemed to sense Gu Zixuan’s gaze, let out a light snort, and turned his face even colder. Realizing Feng Chengjin seemed intent on tormenting her endlessly today. Gu Zixuan felt so disoriented, like her heart was being scratched by a cat, more embarrassed, more ashamed. Forcing her emotions, she tried hard to calm herself, continuously reminding herself that this was a world of atheism. Finally, when her emotions settled for a while and she believed she could endure finishing this horror movie. As a latecomer walked in behind, their leg brushed past her scalp hair. The creepy touch, paired with the film’s timely abrupt ghost scene transition. "Ah!" As others in the theater screamed at the plot. Gu Zixuan let out an "Ah!" scream and couldn’t help but grab onto the person next to her. The sudden embrace, combined with a scream louder than those around, didn’t draw much attention. After all, in a horror ghost movie, it’s normal for several women to be scared. But in the darkness, Feng Chengjin lowered his eyes, watching Gu Zixuan, who was trembling, and slightly raised her eyes, becoming a bit more profound. Perhaps due to the seated height, Feng Chengjin originally sat with arms crossed, reclining in the chair, and with Gu Zixuan’s plunge, unable to hug his chest, she tightly hugged his waist instead. That head, which had angered him to the point of not sleeping well yesterday, was now buried within the crook of his arm. The trembling body, the close proximity, allowed a certain atmosphere to start subtly emerging in the dark environment after the initial fear. When Gu Zixuan regained her composure and lifted her gaze, she profoundly realized the abruptness of her actions. Especially Feng Chengjin’s gaze, naturally dark like ink. In the darkness, it appeared even more like two unfathomable deep pools. Makes one’s heart palpitate, a kind of indescribable attraction, and immersion. Her eyelashes trembled as Gu Zixuan stared, once again he sat upright, as she pounced, her cheeks seemed awkward, possibly blushing with shame, as she prepared to withdraw. In the air, however, Feng Chengjin’s gaze dimmed subtly, as his arm unfolded, reached for her back, flipped around, and pressed her into her seat, holding her in his arms without allowing a word. The next moment, before Gu Zixuanxin could feel her heart skip a beat and jump to her throat, he lowered his head and kissed her lips. Their lips met softly. That unfamiliar yet thrilling sensation swept through Gu Zixuan’s mind once again. Her mouth was filled entirely with his cold scent. His kiss seemed even more intense than the last, and precisely because of this intensity, the touch of his tongue felt as if it was setting the whole place ablaze, pushing that sensation into a denser realm. Gu Zixuan’s heart trembled, and as it leapt to her throat, he caught her hand in the darkness, placed it on his shoulder, and quickly guided her elbow to rest on the nape of his neck. She understood that he wanted her to embrace him. While her heart trembled, her thoughts were in a jumble, her palms sweating, unsure where to place them. Feng Chengjin didn’t seem to care about her thoughts, pressing her for a deeper kiss. Moving around her lips, he mapped out her shape with his, his other hand supporting her waist, arms wrapped tightly around her. If not for the armrest between them, Gu Zixuan felt he might have leaned over entirely, doing something more intimate without a doubt. Gu Zixuan found it hard to tell whether he was forcefully kissing her or they were simply sharing a kiss. All she knew was that his scent drew closer, until her whole world was enveloped by the clean smell of his shirt and skin. Get full chapters from novel-fire.ɴet Her entire body felt as if it was on fire, the heat and warmth rising continuously. Her heart pounded harder and harder, drumming against her chest in waves, trembling, tingling. A spark of electricity seemed to course through her spine, rippling through her entire nervous system. What was happening to her? What was he doing? Towards the end, the lack of oxygen blurred Gu Zixuan’s thoughts, leaving her only able to hear someone murmuring in the back row. "Look, there’s a couple kissing over there." "Hey, why do you care if others are kissing? You’re here to watch a horror movie without any kissing, what are you watching for?" "But aren’t they hugging too tightly? After all, it’s a public space..." "Even in public spaces, the lights are off, what does it bother you? Stop looking, stop looking, watch the movie." Gu Zixuan’s face turned even redder, red like it was about to drip blood, and she felt like she was about to melt... All the while, not knowing how much time had passed, Feng Chengjin withdrew his lips from hers... In the darkness, their eyes faintly interlocked. Gu Zixuan’s heart was trembling slightly, her lips swollen, gasping for breath, awkwardly realizing that at some point, she had followed his lead, wrapping her arms around his neck, her face flushed, uncertain what to say. Feng Chengjin glanced at her and spoke, "Still scared?" His clear voice sounded particularly enticing in the darkness. Gu Zixuan was momentarily stunned, looking at the plot she had lost track of, unable to immerse herself in the story either by sound or picture. Scared? She wasn’t even sure she could continue watching. Listening to her own pounding heartbeat. Blushing further, she quickly shook her head while lowering her gaze. Feng Chengjin’s eyes were dark and deep, gazing at her intently as he pressed his lips together. Pausing, he released her and returned to his original seat. He crossed his arms, regaining his aloof demeanor. The regal posture made it seem as though the kiss had never happened. That gesture made Gu Zixuan realize that part of him wanted revenge for being left on the mountain top yesterday and was also a desire to kiss her back, in part to relieve her fear. A ridiculous spark of laughter erupted inside her. She looked at him speechlessly. The little fury he displayed looked quite amusing, and Feng Chengjin cast a cold glance down at her, asking, "What! Do you have an opinion? Leaving me on the mountain for nothing?" Realizing that this was indeed his mindset, Gu Zixuan was so exasperated that the zoo in her mind was running wild, she even thought for a moment of hitting him. But looking at this occasionally immature man across from her and then thinking of enduring this bittersweet torture all day, realizing they weren’t on the same level of combat, she finally didn’t hold her ground, being taken advantage of again... Gu Zixuan deeply felt that if she pursued this debt, she might suffer an even greater loss. Ultimately, she could only sigh helplessly and amusedly, holding a deep breath to maintain her dignity, saying, "No opinion, wouldn’t dare have one." Seeing Gu Zixuan’s face of indifference and generosity. Feng Chengjin frowned, his lips tightening with displeasure, "From your tone, you’re not convinced?"
