Chapter 24 Shen Xinzhu Visits
This man seems a bit dangerous.
"Which of these movies do you want to watch?"
Huo Jincheng led her to the family cinema to pick a film.
Lu Xingzhi took out a romance movie from the United States. She had always heard it was very good, a classic, but she had never seen it.
She thought about watching it.
Actually, she heard about it from her dad.
Dad said that because of this movie, he met mom, got to know her, and then fell in love.
Later, she searched for the film and couldn’t find it online, nor could she buy it.
This movie is already over twenty years old.
Looking at Huo Jincheng’s collection, it should be the original version!
Indeed, having money has many advantages.
"Is it okay to watch this?" Lu Xingzhi asked.
"This isn’t the Mandarin version, and the subtitles haven’t been translated into Chinese." Huo Jincheng spoke rather tactfully, even though Lu Xingzhi’s English was good, she might not fully understand everything.
"Oh!" Lu Xingzhi just responded.
Huo Jincheng was a bit troubled. Should they watch it or not?
He tentatively asked, "Shall we watch this then?"
"Okay." She still wanted to watch this.
She knew what Huo Jincheng meant, but she could communicate effortlessly with foreigners in English.
While watching the movie, Huo Jincheng noticed that Lu Xingzhi’s English was indeed quite good.
But then, Lu Xingzhi suddenly felt embarrassed.
She hadn’t expected there to be scenes beyond just kissing.
Her eyes awkwardly shifted elsewhere, and turning back, she saw Huo Jincheng staring fixedly at her.
"Why are you watching me instead of the movie?" Lu Xingzhi whispered.
"You’re prettier!" Seeing her blush, Huo Jincheng wanted to tease her more. "Are you shy? It’s just a movie, not a live version, and certainly not in 3D. Do you want to see that?"
Lu Xingzhi shook her head repeatedly, "No need."
"Haha..." Huo Jincheng laughed at her.
He had actually watched this movie twice.
By the end, the male lead died, leaving the female lead to live alone.
"How was it? Did you like it?"
"Sigh!" Lu Xingzhi just sighed.
"What’s up? Wasn’t it good?" Huo Jincheng asked.
"No." Lu Xingzhi didn’t know how else to put it.
Huo Jincheng didn’t speak, just looked at her.
"Actually, the male lead dying at the end was better. I think if they really lived together, they might still end up separating." Different life levels, two days aren’t enough for someone to truly love another person, right!
It’s precisely because he died, and for her, that she would always remember him.
"Things aren’t always certain." Huo Jincheng stroked her head, "Don’t overthink, it’s just a movie, different from real life."
"Yeah! I know."
After watching the movie, they returned to their room, and Lu Xingzhi remembered what she had said to Huo Jincheng before watching the movie.
Forget it, she’ll talk about it later!
--
When Lu Xingzhi was usually staying at the villa, suddenly Shen Xinzhu came over.
When Zhuo Yixiang called her downstairs, she saw Shen Xinzhu elegantly sipping coffee on the sofa.
Today she wore a black gauzy dress and black diamond-studded heels.
Seeing her come down, Shen Xinzhu smiled slightly at her.
"Miss Lu, we meet again."
