Chapter 11 Do you believe in things like the past life and this life? (2)

 

Only then did Zhao Yinqing recall this matter. She paused for a moment and said, “Oh, I left after sending you the message.”

 

“Which theater are you at?”

 

“Jumei.” Zhao Yinqing said subconsciously, and then added, “What’s up?”

 

“It’s nothing, I’ll go find you.”

 

When the call was disconnected, Zhao Yinqing couldn’t even recover from his words, “I’ll go find you.”

 

What’s he looking for her for?

 

Aren’t there guests?

 

Why did they leave so soon?

 

Zhao Yinqing had a bunch of question marks on her forehead. She stuffed the phone back into her pocket, sat upright, and looked down.

 

72 minutes later, when the ending song played, Zhao Yinqing got up and walked out of the theater.

 

She went to the bathroom first before heading for the exit again.

 

Outside the ticket gate is a short indoor overpass with artificial tree trunks on both sides and red and yellow mushroom-shaped seats underneath.

 

Sun Lu was sitting on a yellow stool, his body folded at an angle, his elbows resting on his knees, and he was playing with his mobile phone.

 

Soft bangs fell on his eyebrows, and his lips were pursed into a straight line. She didn’t know what he was looking at, but his expression was very focused.

 

Sensing that people were coming out one after another, he raised his head and looked over, coincidentally meeting Zhao Yinqing’s eyes.

 

He put his phone away, stood up, and stood straight, waiting for her quietly.

 

“Did your friend leave?” Zhao Yinqing asked as she walked up to him.

 

Sun Lu said, “Mhm” and asked, “What did you eat for lunch?”

 

“Ate whatever.”

 

Sun Lu: “What are you going to do now?”

 

“Watch a movie.”

 

Sun Lu frowned and looked at her.

 

Zhao Yinqing said, “I’m really going to watch a movie. I bought tickets for two movies.”

 

“Where’s Dou Na?” he asked.

 

“Didn’t make an appointment.”

 

“Even so, you’re not going home?”

 

Zhao Yinqing gave him a puzzled look and said, “Why would I go home? Don’t you have guests?”

 

“So what if I have guests? Does it affect you going home?”

 

Zhao Yinqing’s expression soured, and she said, “What’s with that tone?  I was kind enough to make room for you, but I still did something wrong?”

 

Sun Lu’s expression didn’t look good either. He didn’t know whether he was angry with Zhao Yinqing or himself, but he just felt very uncomfortable.

 

He lowered his head, fished out his phone, and scrolled through it while asking, “Which movie did you watch?”

 

Zhao Yinqing pursed her lips and remained silent.

 

Sun Lu looked at her: “Zhao Yinqing!”

 

“What?!”

 

Sun Lu directly took the ticket from her hand.

 

《Spring Goes and Autumn Comes》 is a literary film, starring a popular actor. It was heavily promoted in the early stage, but after its release, the reputation was not very good.

 

Sun Lu pulled up the film and started choosing a seat, but found that all the seats next to Zhao Yinqing’s seat were taken. He didn’t say anything, just clicked a few times, and then turned around to his ticket.

 

When he came back, Zhao Yinqing noticed that he had two tickets in his hand.

 

Sun Lu said: “Sit with me later.”

 

Zhao Yinqing looked at him coldly and didn’t say anything.

 

Sun Lu was quiet for a few seconds, and suddenly said: “Sorry, I was impulsive just now.”

 

Zhao Yinqing raised her eyebrows in surprise. She didn’t expect to hear Sun Lu’s apology. In her experience, he had always dismissed her, so him apologizing was beyond her imagination.

 

As a result, Zhao Yinqing lost her temper.

 

There were still 20 minutes left before the movie starts, and they have to wait outside for at least 10 minutes before going in.

 

They picked two mushroom stools and sat down again.

 

Zhao Yinqing leaned her back against the tree trunk and scraped her feet on the ground. She couldn’t help but think of her previous life again.

 

The two of them had also watched a movie together before, but at that time, Zhao Yinqing had deceived him, because she knew that if it was her own invitation, this guy would definitely not come. 

 

So, she borrowed Ren Xue’s influence¹“东风” (Dongfeng) is used metaphorically to refer to Ren Xue’s influence or connections that were utilized to deceive someone into coming over. It implies leveraging Ren Xue’s assistance or favor to achieve a certain outcome. and deceived people into coming over.

 

Even now, she still remembers Sun Lu’s face, as dark as ink at that time. He really hated Zhao Yinqing’s tricks.

 

Coincidentally, that time was also a literary film, much like the one they are watching today, but she had already forgotten the name/title. 

 

Sun Lu was so angry that time that Zhao Yinqing originally thought he would leave her and walk away, but he didn’t. Although he was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, he still stayed and watched the movie with her until the end.

 

He just bought another ticket, far away from Zhao Yinqing’s seat.

 

Comparing the two, the current scene is really inexplicably ironic.

 

Zhao Yinqing looked down at the movie ticket in her hand, flipping it over several times, and said, “It’s a waste.”

 

Sun Lu glanced over and saw Zhao Yinqing’s side profile with his peripheral vision. Delicate and exuding a sweet cuteness, she resembled an exquisite and charming cake, sweet and delightful. 

 

He quickly looked away and said, “Wasting it is affordable.”

 

Ten minutes passed quickly, and the two of them entered the theater together and sat side by side.

 

At the end of the winter vacation, office workers have already returned to work and students are returning to school one after another. Hence, there aren’t many people watching movies at this time, and the seats in the outermost circle are basically empty.

 

Advertisements were played in turn on the big screen, and the lights inside the hall were bright.

 

In front, some young people were busy taking pictures, banging their heads together to get the right angle.

 

Zhao Yinqing twisted the ticket stub around and suddenly said, “Why did your friend leave so early?”

 

“She had something to do.”

 

“Let her come and play more in the future.”

 

Sun Lu let out an “mhm”.

 

The lights suddenly went out, the advertising screen disappeared, and the film officially began.

 

The heroine finds a letter from her ancestors telling her to go to a small town in Yunnan to look for the lady in the letter to fulfil her grandfather’s dream. During this period, she meets and falls in love with the hero.

 

The two generations met and got to know each other. They were originally people who had nothing to do with each other, but they happened to be intertwined together. It was a bit like the reincarnation of emotions.

 

Zhao Yinqing stared at the screen and asked Sun Lu, “Do you believe in things like the past life and this life?”

 

“No.”

 

He lowered his eyes slightly, and the cold light of the screen shone on Zhao Yinqing’s face. He didn’t know if it was because of the flickering projection of the screen, but her expression seemed to have some traces of time.

 

“How about you? Do you believe in it?”

 

Shaking her head, Zhao Yinqing said, “I don’t either.”
