Inside the movie theater.
Once Su Yun had made up her mind, she pinched a piece of popcorn between two fingers and held it right up to Chu Feng’s mouth.
She’d had a bit of a mischievous thought, but the moment she actually fed him, she lowered her head shyly, unable to look at Chu Feng beside her.
Only then did Chu Feng notice the piece of popcorn being offered to him—and the girl’s smooth, fair arm beside it.
At that moment, he even felt like he was living in a beautiful dream.
A peerless beauty sitting beside him was actually feeding him!
He leaned closer and opened his mouth, taking the popcorn from the girl’s fingers.
After chewing for a moment and swallowing, he smiled and said,
“Everything tastes better when Xiao Yun’er feeds it to me.”
After speaking, Chu Feng looked at Su Yun, her face flushed with shyness. A swell of pride rose in his heart. A girl as stunning as her was willing to feed him, and that made him feel unbearably pleased with himself.
……
Peace Cinema, office.
Su Yun’s dad glanced casually at the security monitors.
Then he spotted a familiar figure on one of the screens.
Who else could it be but his daughter, Su Yun?
Su Yun’s dad leaned closer, carefully studying the footage.
His daughter was sitting on the same couch as a man.
That was one of the theater’s couple seats!
Could his daughter be dating someone? No way. She’d always been so reserved. Whenever a guy pursued her, she turned him down.
That was why he’d kept this from her and planned to set her up on a date.
Nearby, Su Yun’s mom was still chatting animatedly with Xiao Fang, the young man who was supposed to meet Su Yun.
Su Yun’s mom said, “Our Su Yun is wonderful in every way. She’s pretty, slim, kind, and thoughtful. It’s just that her social circle is too small, and she doesn’t like meeting strangers. That’s why she hasn’t found a boyfriend.”
Su Yun’s mom continued, “So I thought I’d ask one of her old classmates. Maybe there’d be a chance—at least you already know each other.”
“Auntie, I’m a little embarrassed to admit it, but I pursued Su Yun back in high school. She turned me down then, saying she wanted to focus on her studies,” Xiao Fang said.
Xiao Fang was incredibly excited about meeting them today.
It was Su Yun, after all!
Back in school, she’d been the undisputed campus goddess, admired by countless boys. But no one had ever managed to win her heart.
And now, he actually had a chance to go on a date with Su Yun.
Sure, for now he was only meeting her parents, but it was only a matter of time before he met Su Yun herself.
And if things worked out…
Xiao Fang pictured Su Yun’s breathtaking face and perfect figure. He imagined spending every day with her after they got married, sharing their nights together. He grew even more thrilled at the thought of meeting her.
“Beep, beep, beep—” The walkie-talkie crackled to life.
“Someone’s illegally filming in Theater A06. Xiao Fang, go take care of it.”
“Got it.”
“Uncle, Auntie, I need to take care of something. I’ll be quick. Wait here for me—I’ll be right back,” Xiao Fang said.
“All right.”
……
As soon as Xiao Fang left the office, Su Yun’s dad hurriedly pulled Su Yun’s mom over to the monitors.
“Look. Isn’t that our daughter?” he asked, pointing at the girl on the screen.
“What are you talking about? Why would our daughter be sitting in a couple’s seat at the movie theater…”
Su Yun’s mom immediately denied it. But when she took a closer look, she realized the girl’s face and figure looked exactly like her daughter.
That couldn’t be right.
Their daughter was famously well-behaved. She’d never gone on a date with a man—not even gone out to eat with one.
Let alone gone to the movies alone with a man, and sat in a couple’s seat, no less.
But judging by her figure and face, that had to be their daughter.
“Old Su, do you have a secret daughter you’ve been hiding from me?” Su Yun’s mom asked, eyeing him suspiciously.
“Don’t be ridiculous. I’m telling you, that’s our daughter,” Su Yun’s dad said.
“You’re right. Without my genes, you couldn’t have had such a pretty daughter,” Su Yun’s mom teased.
As the two of them were talking,
the girl on the monitor moved. Their precious daughter had actually reached over and placed her hand on the man’s.
And once she’d placed it there, she didn’t pull away.
Then their palms met, and their fingers interlaced tightly…
Since when had their daughter become so forward?
She was actually reaching out to hold the man’s hand.
Before this, she wouldn’t even agree to meet up with a guy, let alone hold hands with one.
All she ever did was stay home.
If their daughter had been this proactive sooner, she’d probably have been married off long ago. Would they still have needed to set her up on a date?
Before Su Yun’s dad and mom could recover from their shock,
the girl on the monitor moved again.
She pinched a piece of popcorn between her slender fingers and held it to the man’s mouth.
The man didn’t refuse. He ate it right away.
Su Yun’s dad and mom, watching the monitor, were stunned all over again.
Their daughter was actually feeding another man! Since when had she gotten so good at flirting?
“Jingya, you’ve never fed me like that…” Su Yun’s dad couldn’t help complaining.
“Is that what matters right now? Our daughter’s finally fallen in love!” Su Yun’s mom said excitedly.
“No, I’m still not entirely convinced that’s our daughter,” Su Yun’s mom added.
“I’ve got it,” Su Yun’s dad said.
Then he said, “We can call Xiao Yun. If that really is her, we’ll see her answer the phone on the monitor.”
“Right! You’ve still got some sense in that old head of yours.”
“Beep, beep, beep, beep—”
……
Inside the movie theater.
Su Yun fed Chu Feng popcorn, one piece after another.
Once she’d fed him the first piece, the rest became almost routine.
“Brrr, brrr—” “Brrr, brrr—”
A continuous buzzing came from the black shoulder bag beside Su Yun.
She stopped feeding him for a moment, wiped her fingers with a tissue, then picked up her phone to check who was calling.
Oh no. It was Mom.
Nervously, she pressed the answer button.
“Xiao Yun, where are you right now?”
“I…I’m…at a friend’s house, hanging out.”
They were in a public place like a movie theater, so Su Yun spoke as quietly as she could and made up an excuse on the spot. She couldn’t exactly say she was doing a mission at the theater to save the Earth, could she?
“Oh? Then why does it sound so echoey over there?”
On-screen, the Iron Light Giant and the monster Gezhila had started fighting, and the sound effects were loud…
“My friend…just got a new projector and speakers. The movie looks really good…” Su Yun could only keep making things up.
“All right, I’ll let you go, then.”
……
Theater office.
At the very moment the call ended, the girl on the monitor stopped answering her phone, too.
It was obvious: the girl on the screen had to be their daughter.
“It really is our daughter! She really is dating someone!”
“And she didn’t even dare tell us she was going to the movies. They must be boyfriend and girlfriend,” Su Yun’s mom said.
“What about the date with Xiao Fang?” Su Yun’s dad asked.
“Forget the date! Our daughter already has someone she likes.”
……
Inside the movie theater.
Su Yun kept feeding Chu Feng pieces of popcorn, enjoying the rapid rise in her humiliation points.
Ding-dong! A follow-up main quest has been triggered. Host, sit beside Chu Feng and rest your head on his shoulder for the rest of the movie. Upon completion: +300,000 humiliation points and one special reward—Cavern Civilization intelligence (1).
