Chapter 108
"What's wrong?"
Listening to the tone of William Wei on the phone, it didn't sound like he was joking.
Samson Nan couldn't help but swallow.
"Luo Jia, Luo Jia!"
The voice on the other end of the phone said breathlessly.
"What happened to Luo Jia? Slow down and tell me."
He started to panic. Could something have happened to Luo Jia?
"She! She's going on a blind date!!"
"What... did you say?"
He was stunned for a moment and walked to the window.
"A blind date!!!"
William Wei's voice sounded ten times louder.
"..."
Samson Nan felt a ringing in his ears, rubbed them, and then put the phone back to his ear.
"No, you said she's going on a blind date... with who?"
"How would I know? She doesn't even know the person!"
"Then who told you?"
"Just now, Luo Jia called and told me!"
William Wei's anger grew, and he shouted into the phone.
"Well, you calm down first..."
"..."
There was suddenly silence on the other end of the phone.
A moment of silence.
"Samson Nan, what should we do?"
His tone weakened instantly, sounding low and powerless.
"What do you want me to do...?"
He scratched his head.
"After all, this is Luo Jia's own business... and we..."
"Hey, what do you mean by her own business?!"
Before he finished speaking, William Wei interrupted him.
"She's a young girl, and she's going to be alone with a stranger! What if... damn it, I don't dare to think about it..."
"..."
Are you her father...
Thinking that, Samson Nan spoke again.
"So, what do you want to do...?"
"Forget it, forget it, let's gather first! Let's discuss this properly!"
"Gather... when?"
"Immediately, now, now!!"
"It's already late now, my goodness."
He looked at the clock on the wall, and it was just a few minutes to twelve.
"Are you at home?"
"I am..."
"Then I'll be right up."
"Right up... huh?"
He paused for a moment, opened the window, and looked down.
...
Damn...
This person was already standing downstairs.
He loosened the scarf around his neck with his hands and exhaled a puff of warm air.
After looking up for a moment, he ran into the apartment.
"It's freezing outside~"
William Wei pushed open the door, rubbed his hands, and stumbled into the room.
"..."
Samson Nan sighed and looked at him.
"Can't we talk about it tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow? It'll be too late to talk about it tomorrow! That guy has already made plans with Luo Jia to watch a movie tomorrow..."
"Is that so?"
"Ah... hey, how can a guy ask a girl out after just meeting once? and Luo Jia, without even thinking, agreed..."
While William Wei bent down to change his shoes, he kept mumbling.
"..."
Samson Nan poured a glass of water and handed it to him.
"So... what do you want to do?"
"Tomorrow, we'll secretly follow them. I want to see what kind of person this guy is!"
"..."
We... we involuntarily included him in our plans.
"I think..."
Samson Nan thought for a moment and said again.
"It's probably better not to do something that will make her dislike us..."
"Dislike?"
William Wei put down the glass of water and turned to look at him.
"When you followed your sister to Lanhe Temple that day, why didn't I hear you say that?"
"..."
Samson Nan was instantly dumbfounded when he heard this.
How did he know about that...
"Bell Tong told me. That foreigner you pretended to be... what was his name..."
Samson Nan was speechless. He must have been really dumb to believe that Bell Tong would keep this confidential...
...
"Why? Is it because it's Lokar this time?"
"These are two completely different matters..."
"Oh, right, I should check how many years the girl from Weixing High School will be sentenced..."
"I'll go, I'll go to the head office!"
He had no choice, and helplessly scratched his head.
How ironic, he himself was being led by the nose by William Wei...
...
"Tomorrow is the weekend, you don't have to work, and I don't have classes. This is what they call 'timing'," William Wei sneered.
"Plus, I heard that guy is an overseas returnee, just came back to the country not long ago and is unfamiliar with the place. They call this 'favorable conditions,' and then..."
As he spoke, he tapped Samson Nan's chest.
"With you, it's 'people and harmony.'"
"What do you mean..."
"What do I mean~" William Wei cryptically said, walking towards the bathroom.
"Bathing, sleeping, see you tomorrow~"
"..."
Are they already planning to stay overnight...
An unknown man...
Well, it wouldn't hurt to go check it out.
...
...
The next day.
"..."
Jocelyn York stood on the square in front of the cinema.
She glanced at her watch.
Five minutes had already passed since the appointed time.
"You see, what was I saying?" William Wei raised the collar of his coat and zipped it up.
He hid next to the subway entrance about ten meters away from her.
"A man who is always late reflects that he's not a man of his word!"
"Hmm..."
Samson Nan responded, looking left and right. People around them kept looking their way.
It was understandable, two big men crouching around here suspiciously under broad daylight...
"He's here!"
He looked in the direction William Wei pointed.
A man with shiny chestnut hair appeared in their line of sight.
"Sorry for the wait~"
He smiled and walked up to Jocelyn York.
"No, I just arrived too..."
"Hehe, really?~"
...
"What an idiot~ Keep laughing, and your likability just dropped by 10..." William Wei muttered to himself, his eyes fixed on the front.
...
"Hehe, actually I arrived early~ I was bored so I bought a small gift." Ren Yusheng said, taking out an exquisitely wrapped box from behind him.
He opened the box, revealing a light-colored scarf inside.
"Try it on~"
"Well... thank you..."
Jocelyn York couldn't refuse and took the scarf.
...
...
"I can tell he's not an idiot at all..." Samson Nan whispered, looking ahead.
"Tch, he's got some tricks up his sleeve... this cunning fox..."
William Wei clicked his tongue, gnashing his teeth in irritation.
"Oh, they're going in, should we follow them?"
"Of course!"
He said, standing up and about to rush over.
"Wait! Let them go first, if we get too close, we'll be noticed."
Samson Nan quickly grabbed hold of him.
"..."
He turned around.
"You definitely have more experience in tracking, your strategy is better~ I'll listen to you!"
...
Why does that sound so awkward...
The two of them kept their distance from them, and also entered the cinema.
"Are you sitting in seats 33 and 34?" the ticket salesperson confirmed.
"Is that okay?"
Ren Yusheng turned his head and looked at Jocelyn York.
"I'm fine with it."
"Then let's go for seats 33 and 34~ Thank you."
He skillfully took out his wallet, paid the money, and smiled at Jocelyn York.
"I heard from my friends that this movie is pretty good. I hope you'll like it."
"Oh..."
Jocelyn York was somewhat hesitant in response to his proactive approach.
Feeling a bit uneasy, she nodded.
...
"Excuse me..."
The ticket seller looked up and was momentarily stunned.
Two men in heavily bundled coats suddenly appeared in front of him.
"May I, may I help you with tickets?"
"Ah..."
"Please choose your seats..."
"..."
William Wei looked around, then bent down.
He lifted his mask, leaned towards the seller's ear, and whispered mysteriously:
"The seats behind those two people just now."
"Huh? But..."
The ticket seller hesitated, looking at him.
This was the first time someone had requested specific seats like this...
"Please take your tickets..."
"Thank you~"
William Wei took the tickets and followed Samson Nan towards the theater.
"The two people just now..."
"Lower your voice..."
Immediately, a constant stream of whispers came from behind...
...
Well, they had come this far, so they couldn't worry about those things anymore.
...
...
"The movie is about to begin, please turn your phones to silent mode so as not to disturb the viewing experience..."
...
William Wei and Samson Nan waited for the lights to go out before sneaking into the theater.
After they found their seats, they sat down quietly.
In the row in front of them sat Jocelyn York and the other man.
...
In Jocelyn York's mind, she had never watched a movie alone with a man before.
Moreover, she had only known this man for less than 24 hours...
She felt a bit self-conscious, sitting up straight and clutching her bag on her knees.
"Let me hold your coat and bag for you, it must be uncomfortable to watch the movie like this."
Ren Yusheng gallantly reached out his hand.
"No, thank you, it's fine..."
She smiled awkwardly and shook her head.
...
William Wei sat behind her, silent, chin resting on his hand.
Samson Nan turned his head.
In the dim light from the screen, he could vaguely see William Wei's profile.
"..."
There were not many expressions on his well-defined face, silence enveloped him as he looked ahead.
His eyes, submerged in this dim space, stared unwaveringly at the moving images on the screen, or perhaps something else...
"Wei ge, you..."
"..."
"Hmm?"
His reaction was like he was a beat slower, a bit clueless as he responded.
"What?"
"Never mind..."
Samson Nan hesitated, glancing at him from the corner of his eye.
"If it's nothing, don't call my name, do you want to expose us..."
"..."
...
...
There didn't seem to be many people watching this movie, as the seats were sparsely filled.
Besides a few young couples, there probably wouldn't be anyone else who intentionally came to the cinema to watch this niche foreign soap opera...
But it had to be said, these foreign films had quite explicit scenes. Before half of the movie had even played, there were already kissing and bed scenes, making them both feel quite awkward...
Of course, the couples around them were not idle either. They held hands and kissed passionately...
...
Ren Yusheng looked at the big screen, his mind elsewhere.
"Luo Jia."
He turned his head and called her name.
His deep gaze looked over.
"Huh?"
The theater was pitch black.
She couldn't see the face of the person in front of her.
But the sound of breathing seemed to be getting closer...
"Wait..."
Bam!
At this moment, the backrest of Ren Yusheng's seat suddenly shook.
He was startled and turned around.
"......"
Suddenly, he froze in place.
These two guys behind were actually hugging each other...
...
"GAY...?"
He looked at them suspiciously and muttered to himself in a low voice.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, it's nothing..."
He twitched the muscles on his face and forced a smile at Jocelyn York, feeling a bit stiff.
Jocelyn York also turned around.
But the two people behind were tightly embraced, and with the dim lighting, their faces couldn't be seen clearly at all...
"She's looking this way..."
"Shh! Don't make a sound!"
...
What are these two people whispering about...
She stared at them, without shifting her gaze for a long time.
Staring....................
