Chapter 395: Chapter 395 - 389: Don’t Be Too Surprised

More than one person was taking sneaky photos. When Shi Su came out, she wasn’t wearing a mask, and it was clear she had been recognized by some of the passersby or fans in the crowd.

Firstly, she was afraid of being photographed. Secondly, Jing Jihan was injured, and she couldn’t push him away, especially since his voice just now was almost whispering in her ear. Those short two words seemed to vibrate through his chest and resonate against her eardrum, in a deep voice.

Flashlights occasionally flickered over there, and Jing Jihan practically hid her in his arms, taking her into the dark cinema hall.

Shi Su’s mind was completely blank the entire time; all she knew was to not move around. But once she was enveloped in darkness and surrounded by the deafening sound effects of the cinema, she suddenly realized what was going on.

At the same time, Jing Jihan glanced towards the door. It was too dark in there for the few who had rushed in to clearly identify anyone in the seating area. Noticing the petite woman still somewhat stiffly leaning against him, instinctively keeping her head down to avoid recognition, the man raised his elegant and clear brows slightly.

"Taking the risk of being photographed, sneaking out late at night with a co-actor to watch a movie?"

"..."

Shi Su immediately regained her senses, stepping back half a step out of his arms, keeping a certain distance from the man’s noble and stern aura. She quickly used the darkness to sneak into a corner away from the door while the fans from outside were still looking for her.

Wei Sinan had offered multiple times to take her out for dinner or a movie.

She had used various excuses to decline over the past two years.

Avoiding whenever possible.

When she couldn’t avoid it, she directly refused.

However, Wei Sinan had helped her before, keeping her secret, so she owed him a favor. Having owed him for so long, yet never acknowledging his gestures.

This time, since her first movie was premiering and he had also booked a showing for tomorrow, plus they were working in the same production crew, when he asked her out for a movie this time, she didn’t know how to refuse.

Besides, she had to give him face eventually.

"It’s my business." She didn’t explain and glanced towards the door. Not as many people had come in as before; earlier five or six people had been running around looking for her, but now it was just random people from the cinema going in and out to use the bathroom.

The biggest question wasn’t why Jing Jihan was there?

A severely injured person, not staying home resting late at night, coming all the way to a movie theater?

How did he even get there?

To avoid aggravating his back injury, he couldn’t keep his arm raised to drive, so it seemed unlikely he drove himself.

Shi Su’s gaze fell back on the man. In the moment her eyes met his seemingly calm gaze in the darkness, she suddenly remembered seeing him catch a glimpse of her phone’s WeChat when she left Kaixing Mansion.

She inhaled sharply.

What did he mean?

Was he there to catch her in the act?!

She and Wei Sinan were innocent, if there was any ambiguity, it would have shown two years ago. Shi Su sat upright without any need for him to catch her in the act?

Besides, what stance did he have to come here?

Jing Jihan said nothing, pressed down the brim of her hat again: "Want to go back?"

"Of course, I need to, I haven’t finished the movie yet."

"I meant go home."

"... Go home for what, the movie just started, not even an hour has passed, and I’m not here alone. I can’t just leave the person I came with. You can go back yourself, however you came, it has nothing to do with me." Shi Su turned to leave, then suddenly stopped, looking back at him: "Did you come here by yourself?"

Jing Jihan’s expression was indifferent: "Zhou He is your fan, had a crazy idea to watch a movie late at night, I was bored, so I came with him."

"... Huh?"

"Zhou He is my fan?"

The man showed no expression, and when he spoke earlier, he didn’t even blink. Now he continued walking inside, not intending to pursue the topic further.

Shi Su pouted, both angry and amused as she followed. Upon returning to her row, she was surprised to find that Jing Jihan’s seat was actually right behind her, and sure enough, Zhou He was there too.

Zhou He was holding a bucket of popcorn, engrossed in the movie, his expression indicating he was truly caught up in the plot.

Seeing Jing Jihan so calmly settle in the seat behind her, Shi Su raised an eyebrow, turned her head, and waved to Zhou He: "Hi!"

Zhou He quickly focused on Shi Su’s face, looked surprised, instinctively raised his hand, and dumbfoundedly responded: "... Hi."

Shi Su looked at Zhou He’s shocked and bewildered face, raised her eyebrows, then suddenly laughed and sat down without looking back.

Wei Sinan hadn’t noticed earlier; he only heard Shi Su greet someone behind and was about to turn around to look, but Shi Su had already sat back down. He turned his gaze to her: "You were gone for so long? Did you run into an acquaintance?"

"Yes, an acquaintance." Shi Su earnestly tucked the hair at her cheek behind her ear, intending to focus on the movie again, not wanting to chat too much in order not to disturb the audience.

Wei Sinan was curious about what kind of acquaintance, but seeing Shi Su’s reserved expression, he figured they weren’t that close, so he didn’t bother to get up and look back.

When the movie ended, neither Wei Sinan nor Shi Su hurried to leave; they stayed to watch the post-credits scenes and the rolling credits.

With most of the people in the theater gone and the lights on, Shi Su suddenly asked Wei Sinan: "Do you have a pen for autographs?"

Wei Sinan smiled at her: "Who do you plan to get an autograph from? Coincidentally, I rarely carry one, but after signing for fans visiting the set this afternoon, I just happened to put one in my pocket."

Saying that, he took out a gold signature pen from his pocket and handed it to her.

Taking the pen, Shi Su rummaged through her bag, found a photo of herself from an advertisement, signed her name on it, returned the pen to the person beside her, and stood up. Facing Zhou He, who was still sitting with Mr. Jing and hadn’t dared to move, she smiled sweetly: "Zhou He, thank you for your timely help the other day in sending me the bumper, here’s a thank-you gift."

Zhou He hugged his popcorn bucket, looking entirely innocent and bewildered: "Huh?"

"Ta-da~" Shi Su added a little musical flair, "Shhh—" extending her hand to give him the signed photo: "Don’t be too surprised, take good care of it, my signed photos are quite valuable now!"

Zhou He: "???

Right then, Wei Sinan turned to look at the two people behind, suddenly catching sight of Jing Jihan, and was as shocked as Zhou He: ????????

"Mr. Jing?" Wei Sinan was utterly shocked and instinctively greeted quickly.

Jing Jihan ignored him, turned his head to the still-dumbfounded Zhou He, and calmly said: "Your goddess personally gave you a signed photo, don’t get too excited, control your emotions."

Zhou He: "...???"
