Chapter 1362: Watching a Movie

It was because of this piece of news that they all unanimously chose to keep silent, just greeting them warmly like they would a female guest; now Zhou Qi and Xiao Rou left together, and the gossip-loving hearts that had been burning for so long instantly started pounding.

Everyone looked unanimously at An Rui; he was the only one who might know anything about this.

An Rui watched their departing backs and sighed silently to himself, thinking he was over this by now, turns out he wasn’t.

"Brother Rui, what’s going on here?"

Someone couldn’t help but ask, An Rui shot them a look: "Come on, guys, what’s that gossip about, let’s go inside."

Over there, Zhou Qi first took Xiao Rou to a shop they liked, which had an upstairs and downstairs layout.

Xiao Rou immediately shook her head before even entering.

"Don’t like it?"

"It’s too big."

Big?

Zhou Qi was surprised, although it had two floors, it really wasn’t that big.

Xiao Rou seemed to have read Zhou Qi’s mind: "For a milk tea shop, this is too big."

This kind of layout is more suitable for a café or afternoon tea restaurant, but that’s not what she wanted to do; she just wanted to open a milk tea shop like the ones near the school entrance.

Xiao Rou shared her thoughts with Zhou Qi, and now it was Zhou Qi’s turn to be silent.

He’d heard this news from Zhou Chengchen, so he hadn’t fully understood Xiao Rou’s idea, and went about it entirely based on his own subjective judgment, resulting in a misunderstanding.

Zhou Qi rubbed his nose: "Sorry, I didn’t know, all the ones I found are like this, I’ll have people look again."

Xiao Rou hurriedly waved her hand: "It’s my fault for not clarifying, actually I don’t have much to do now, I can look for myself."

"No worries, I’m quick on this side."

Because Zhou Chengchen wanted to get involved in this matter, Xiao Rou didn’t overthink it, assuming Zhou Qi was helping Zhou Chengchen, so she wasn’t overly polite and nodded: "Thanks."

"No trouble at all, shall we get something to eat first? I’ll take you back afterward."

All the ones Zhou Qi found were of this type, so there’s no need to continue viewing any further; thus, they just found a place to eat.

Zhou Qi didn’t take Xiao Rou to any upscale restaurant, just found a nicely set private eatery where they had a simple meal.

Finally, Zhou Qi got up to settle the bill, and upon returning, he saw Xiao Rou looking out the window at a massive movie promotion poster.

Zhou Qi said nothing more, Xiao Rou pulled her gaze back once she saw him return: "Shall we go?"

"Let’s go."

Exiting the restaurant, crossing the road, they were heading towards the parking area when Zhou Qi suddenly spoke: "Want to watch a movie?"

"Huh?"

Across from the restaurant was a shopping center, with a cinema on the top floor; Zhou Qi chuckled: "Just realized I haven’t watched a movie in a long time, want to go together?"

"Sure."

Xiao Rou nodded.

"What do you want to watch?"

They reached the top floor, and since it was mealtime, there weren’t too many people in the cinema; in a while, it would surely be crowded.

Zhou Qi stood in front of the ticket counter, turned to ask: "What do you want to watch?"

"Anything."

Xiao Rou was gentle; she wasn’t indecisive, but the movie she wanted to see was an animated film, which might seem childish to Zhou Qi.

As Zhou Qi was the one who suggested watching a movie, Xiao Rou naturally felt the decision should be his.

Zhou Qi paused for a moment, pointed to the nearby seating area: "Alright then, you go wait over there; it’s crowded here."
