The school beauty is aloof? Whatever, she has a younger sister.

Chapter 195 The same trick won't work on different people.

For the rest of the time, Zhang Muchen watched the movie while casually kneading Chu Youting's fair and delicate hand.

His movements were unhurried, his fingertips gently circling in her palm.

"Let's watch...a movie. My hands...are much warmer now..." she said softly.

"It's nothing." Zhang Muchen smiled and leaned closer. "I'll massage it for you a couple more times. You're welcome."

"..."

Little Yuzu silently turned her head to look at the screen, her cheeks already burning red.

As the movie progresses to the halfway point, the relationship between the male and female protagonists gradually becomes complicated, and misunderstandings and estrangement begin to emerge.

Chu Youting lowered her head, picked up a piece of sushi, and slowly chewed it.

Because her other hand was still being held in Zhang Muchen's palm, she ate with extra care, afraid of dropping crumbs.

But the feeling of having your hand squeezed and pressed while you're eating sushi is indescribably wonderful.

"This bastard...it feels pretty good to squeeze him..."

She stole a glance at Zhang Muchen, then quickly looked away, her body unconsciously relaxing a little.

"Little Yuzu, the other hand."

"Oh"

She responded softly and obediently extended her other hand as well.

Tsk tsk.

Zhang Muchen smiled happily.

And so, while watching the movie, he held Chu Youting's fair and delicate hand, gently kneading and turning it from time to time.

When he was hungry, he would softly call out "Little Yuzu." The girl would then quietly pick up a piece of sushi and carefully hand it to him.

Her face was red, but she didn't say a word, like a kitten being gently stroked.

It's even more obedient than my Ragdoll cat, Kaka.

Zhang Muchen nodded silently in his heart.

This movie was worth the ticket price.

After the movie ended, Zhang Muchen leaned against the wall at the cinema entrance and waited.

He glanced down at his phone; it was 1:40 PM.

He had arranged to meet Sister Yang at 2 PM, and with half an hour to spare, he was already starting to plan how to slip away.

At this moment, Chu Youting came out of the restroom and stood in front of him with her arms crossed.

"I...I'm all better." She looked up at Zhang Muchen, her voice soft. "Where...are we going next?"

Zhang Muchen paused slightly, raised his hand to scratch his cheek, and then looked at her seriously: "Little Yuzu, I have some things to do this afternoon... so I can't stay with you any longer."

Chu Youting paused for a moment, blinked, and neither asked why nor showed any disappointment.

She simply nodded: "Um... okay."

"You go ahead with your work. I'll treat you another time."

Hearing this, Zhang Muchen's eyes crinkled into a smile, and he gently patted the top of her head: "Okay, it's a deal then, you treat me next time."

Chu Youting lowered her eyes, and a blush slowly crept onto her cheeks.

"Let's go, I've called a ride-hailing car for you."

"Thanks……"

Outside the cinema, the sunlight was warm.

Zhang Muchen opened the back door, and Chu Youting got in.

"Bye-bye, Little Yuzu." He waved to her from outside the car door. "Remember to text me when you get home, bye~"

"Bye...bye-bye." Little Yuzu raised her hand through the car window.

The car door closed, and the car slowly drove away.

Zhang Muchen stood there watching the car disappear into the distance. Then he took a deep breath and hailed a taxi.

"Driver, to Wanda Plaza."

Wanda Cinema was packed with people.

Liu Wuyang took two tickets from the self-service ticket machine and handed them to Zhang Muchen.

"Still this movie?" he muttered under his breath as he took the ticket.

"What did you say?" Liu Wuyang raised an eyebrow. Although Zhang Muchen's voice was soft, Liu Wuyang still caught his mumbled words.

"you saw it?"

"No, no, no," Zhang Muchen immediately shook his head. "I said, 'It's alright, this movie.' I've seen the trailer, and it seems pretty good."

"Besides this one, there are only war movies and Marvel movies left. I don't like any of them, so I chose this one."

“Sister Yang’s choice must be the most suitable.” Zhang Muchen smiled and went along with it. “Besides, it’s a youth romance film, which is perfect for my vibrant and youthful age.”

"Youthful exuberance?" Liu Wuyang raised an eyebrow, her gaze lingering on his face for a second.

You little rascal, you're really something else.

There are tons of girls around you, which one of them wouldn't be smitten with you?

She withdrew her gaze, slightly composed herself, and her expression returned to calm.

"Let's go, the movie's about to start." She glanced back at him as she walked. "We agreed to meet at two, and you're only getting to the mall at two? Are you that busy?"

Ha ha.

Of course I'm busy, I just finished spending time with Xiaoyouzi, okay?

However, he only thought these words to himself, his face still showing an innocent expression.

He scratched his head and explained with a smile, "I overslept, Sister Yang."

Liu Wuyang didn't say anything more, turned around and handed the movie ticket to the ticket inspector.

Zhang Muchen, carrying a large bucket of popcorn and two cups of cola, obediently followed Liu Wuyang into Cinema No. 5.

The two sat down near the center, in dim light, with only the screen light flickering on their faces.

They arrived at just the right time; the familiar dragon logo lit up the screen as soon as they sat down.

However, Zhang Muchen's lips twitched slightly as he looked at the green certification mark.

This movie held absolutely no appeal for him...

After all, he had just watched the whole thing with Xiaoyouzi two hours ago.

Even reviewing the old to learn the new doesn't happen this quickly.

Since the movie is boring, then...

Zhang Muchen's gaze shifted slightly before landing on Liu Wuyang's crossed legs.

Black stockings encased her long, slender legs, their lines flowing smoothly. Her thighs were full and shapely, her calves slender and well-proportioned—every detail was just right.

The stockings were smooth and had a natural sheen, clearly not something you'd find on the street.

Zhang Muchen's gaze swept over them lightly, a thought quietly rising in his mind:
I want to touch it~
But if you touch it now, you'll probably get a broken bone, right?

Zhang Muchen held back.

He reached up and touched the popcorn on his lap. At that moment, Liu Wuyang also reached up and grabbed a handful.

"Oh?" Zhang Muchen glanced at it out of the corner of his eye.

Why don't we try the same approach we used on Xiaoyouzi? Maybe it'll work on Yangjie too.

Without making a sound, when Liu Wuyang reached into the popcorn bucket for the second time, he casually slipped his hand in and gently touched the back of her hand.

Liu Wuyang tilted her head, glanced at him, and said nothing.

Not long after, she reached for the popcorn again. This time, Zhang Muchen used the same trick, lightly brushing against it.

"Hmm?" Liu Wuyang frowned slightly.

"This popcorn is so soft, and it even moves," Zhang Muchen said, turning his head to the side.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Liu Wuyang raised her hand and reached out to his waist without any politeness, pinching his soft flesh hard with her fingertips.

"Sigh~"

Zhang Muchen almost cried out.

"I was wrong, I was wrong, Sister Yang."

Liu Wuyang snorted coldly: "You brat, behave yourself."

Zhang Muchen clutched his waist and huddled in his seat, silently reflecting on his actions.

Sigh, just as I expected...

This trick only works on soft, tender little pomelos.
