Chapter 253: Chapter 253 Warning from the Figure in Red_1
"Sister Zi Mo’s here!"
Just as Su Xuan was being surrounded by several movie fans for autographs and photos, Ye Qianqian waved excitedly toward the cinema entrance.
A girl with a beauty score of over 95, dressed in a white dress, gracefully walked over—it was Su Zimo. She had been incredibly busy with work lately, pulling two or three all-nighters in a row. But as soon as Su Xuan invited her, she immediately set her work aside to come. She even made a special trip to a nearby boutique to buy a new white dress; otherwise, she would have arrived even sooner.
Yep. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Su Xuan. I have to treat this seriously!
Su Zimo first nodded at Ye Qianqian, then walked to Su Xuan’s side and linked her arm through his. "What’s our big tycoon showing off about now?" she teased. "Why is everyone swarming you for autographs and photos?"
She was still unaware of Su Xuan’s recent movie cameo.
"I told them I’m worth 500 billion," Su Xuan whispered with a grin. "They started worshiping me the moment they heard that."
"Hehe, I can tell you’re exaggerating. With 500 billion, you’d be in the top ten on China’s Rich List!"
Su Zimo had no idea about the recent surge in Su Xuan’s net worth and truly thought he was just boasting.
Su Xuan shrugged in feigned frustration.
Why does no one ever believe the truth?
Then, flanked by Su Zimo on one side and Ye Qianqian on the other, he was escorted into a theater like a royal guard protecting their charge.
By that time, there were already about twenty people inside. The movie hadn’t started yet, so the room was rather noisy. Ye Qianqian had actually wanted to arrange a private screening for the three of them to watch without being disturbed, but the cinema was too packed that day to get a private room.
As soon as the three of them took their seats, the three men who had vowed Su Xuan wouldn’t leave alive also entered with their tickets, taking seats near the front.
"There are too many people. It’s not a good place to make a move."
"Let’s play it by ear. Don’t be impulsive."
The trio glanced back at Su Xuan for a moment before turning to face the front again.
A few minutes later, the movie officially began.
When the title appeared on the screen, the entire audience erupted in laughter. It was just too ridiculous: *A Headbutt to Kill a Little Devil*. The name sounded like it had been chosen at random.
"Sister Zi Mo, don’t laugh." Seeing Su Zimo covering her mouth to hide a snicker, Ye Qianqian said mysteriously, "You’ll be in for a big surprise later. You might even cry, believe it or not."
"This type of movie is just for laughs," Su Zimo replied. "It won’t make me cry, will it?"
"I won’t spoil it for you," Ye Qianqian said. "You’ll understand once you watch."
With that, Ye Qianqian produced two buckets of popcorn and handed one to Su Zimo.
"None for me?" Su Xuan feigned disappointment.
"Haha, of course there’s some for you."
Ye Qianqian and Su Zimo exchanged a look before they began stuffing popcorn into Su Xuan’s mouth. "You’re a big tycoon, so we can’t let you get your hands dirty," they said playfully. "We’ll do the hard work of feeding you!"
Su Xuan’s mouth was quickly filled with popcorn.
"Have you no shame?!" a harsh voice suddenly boomed from the adjacent seats.
A muscular man in a tank top, flexing his biceps, scowled at Su Xuan. "Can’t you be a little more discreet just because you’re with two girls? Flaunting your relationship in public? And that crunching... do you have any manners at all?"
"Uh..."
Su Xuan’s eyes widened. Did I just unintentionally offend a lonely single guy?
He quickly gave Ye Qianqian and Su Zimo a meaningful look, and they began munching on the popcorn much more quietly. Given his status, he certainly wasn’t going to stoop to the level of the muscle-bound man criticizing him. Besides, this was Ye Qianqian’s cinema, and its patrons were her bread and butter. The customer is always right, after all.
"Here, honey, have some sunflower seeds!"
To his surprise, this muscular man wasn’t single at all. Next to him sat a woman with makeup caked on her face, who was also wearing a white dress. Her figure, however, was anything but flattering; the dress made her look like a barrel with a skirt tied around it.
CRUNCH! CRUNCH!
The muscular man cracked open each sunflower seed with his teeth and fed them to the woman, a truly disgusting sight. Not only did he feed them to her, but he also deliberately littered the shells on the floor, causing the other moviegoers to frown in disapproval.
"You’re the one who needs to watch your manners!" Ye Qianqian finally snapped, unable to hold back any longer.
"Mind your own business!" the muscular man shot back with an effeminate glare. "You started the public display of affection! Do you really have the nerve to criticize me?"
"Darling, let me give you another massage!"
Then, the muscular man took things even further. He grabbed his girlfriend’s foot, placed it on his lap, pulled off her shoe, and began rubbing it.
The moment the shoe came off, the scent of durian heated in a microwave wafted through the air. The stench was unbelievably acrid. Su Xuan, who bore the brunt of it, pinched his nose, completely losing his appetite for popcorn.
"Can you please put your shoe back on?"
"Have some public decency!"
"How can you take your shoes off with feet that reek like that?"
"Where do you get the nerve?"
The surrounding people couldn’t stand it either and began to reproach the couple.
But the man remained defiant. He even lifted his girlfriend’s foot to his nose, took a deep whiff, and said with an expression of pure bliss, "This smells as fragrant as my mom’s cooking!"
BLEGH!
Everyone in the vicinity nearly vomited.
As the film’s story began to unfold, everyone tried to endure the stench and focus on the movie. But the muscular man and his girlfriend engaged in even more "affectionate" activities. He ran his hand up his girlfriend’s thigh, which was as thick as an elephant’s leg, inching ever higher.
The girlfriend let out a moan of pleasure. "Damn, I could die from this!"
"Can you be quiet?"
"Are we supposed to be watching the movie or watching you two?"
"If you want to get off, do it at home, not here!"
The crowd couldn’t help but berate the couple again.
In response, the muscular man flexed his arm, showing off his bicep. "Anyone who has a problem can settle it with me outside!"
Seeing how unreasonable the man was, everyone fell silent. The mood for the movie was ruined. Some people even began to get up and leave.
Huh?
Su Xuan tore his attention away from the disgusting man and fixed his gaze straight ahead at something truly bizarre. A figure in red was standing in front of the screen, giving him a smile full of tender affection.
Then, the figure in red pointed to three people in the audience before making a throat-slitting gesture at him.
No one else could see the figure in red. Only Su Xuan.
What is she doing?
Deeply puzzled, Su Xuan looked toward the three people she had indicated and saw one of them turn to give him a sinister glare.
Realization seemed to dawn on Su Xuan. He furrowed his brow, then stood up. Inexplicably, he patted the muscular man on the shoulder and said coolly, "How about I take you up on that offer to go outside and ’settle it’?"
