The two stood at the entrance of the movie theater, surrounded by a large crowd of people. Zhou Yanchen, sitting in a wheelchair, instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Lu Yan didn't want Zhou Yanchen to be surrounded by so many people, "Let's go back."

She wasn't really going to see the movie in the first place.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan frowned and looked at her.

Their eyes met across the distance, but Lu Yan did not back down.

Zhu Jingru watched with amusement.

Is Lu Yan the first person to challenge Zhou Yanchen?

Ironically, Zhou Yanchen acted as if he couldn't do anything about her.

When Lu Yaguang heard that the movie wasn't going to happen, his face immediately fell. He stared longingly at the screen, looking like he was about to cry, but he stood obediently to the side without crying or making a fuss.

Not far away, staff members were urging everyone to enter the venue.

Lu Yan went around behind Zhou Yanchen and pushed the wheelchair toward the car.

Zhou Yanchen closed his eyes briefly, pursed his lips, and turned to look at Zhu Jingru. "Go buy the tickets."

Zhu Jingru was stunned for a moment, and almost burst out laughing when he came to his senses.

Zhou Yanchen, you've finally met your match.

Lu Yan stopped, biting her lower lip triumphantly to suppress the wildly upturned corners of her lips, bent down and leaned her face towards Zhou Yanchen, knowingly asking, "Mr. Zhou, are you going to see a movie?"

Zhou Yanchen lifted his eyelids and glanced at her. "What do you think?"

Lu Yan chuckled twice, turned her wheelchair around, and said to Zhu Jingru, "Dr. Zhu, let's go inside first."

There are two steps in front of the movie theater. Last time, Wang Jin, Zhou Yanxing, and the others carried it up together, but today only Zhu Jingru came.

Zhu Jingru was worried that the two of them wouldn't be able to lift it, but when Lu Yan easily lifted the other side of the wheelchair, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

Is she definitely a lesbian?

After they were carried up, Lu Yan pushed Zhou Yanchen while Zhu Jingru went to buy tickets.

Seeing Lu Yan standing firmly beside Zhou Yanchen, He Yuejin froze on the spot, unable to move.

Zhu Jingru bought the tickets and thoughtfully bought snacks for Lu Yaguang. He strode over and said, "Let's go."

Lu Yan handed the popping candy to Lu Yaguang. Lu Yan glanced at it in surprise and said, "Thank you."

Zhu Jingru touched his nose guiltily, "It's nothing, it's nothing, it's what I should do."

Who told him to secretly have someone investigate her? If she tells Zhou Yanchen later, he'll skin him alive.

Watching the group chatting and laughing not far away, He Yuejin suddenly felt like an outsider.

He tried to compose himself and walked over with a polite smile to greet them, "Mr. Zhou, Dr. Zhu."

They are all military family members and often visit each other, so they all know each other.

After exchanging greetings, the group quickly entered the screening room.

Because Zhu Jingru and Zhou Yanchen arrived too late, only the front and back rows were left when they bought tickets. Knowing Zhou Yanchen's temperament, Zhu Jingru directly bought tickets for the very back row.

After entering the screening room, He Yuejin considerately offered to switch seats with Zhou Yanchen, but Zhou Yanchen refused.

Lu Yaguang didn't need a ticket and didn't care where he sat, so he sat in front with Lu Yan and He Yuejin.

Zhu Jingru pushed Zhou Yanchen to sit in the last row.

After we took our seats, the movie started very quickly.

Zhou Yanchen's gaze remained fixed on Lu Yan's back.

She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Lu Yaguang sitting on her lap.

Lu Yan quickly felt sleepy, but she pinched herself hard, and the pain instantly woke her up.

She wanted to test whether Zhou Yanchen liked her, not that she really wanted to have any intimate interactions with He Yuejin.

Noticing her subtle movements, He Yuejin didn't say anything, keeping his eyes fixed on the curtain in front of him.

Zhu Jingru, who was sitting behind Lu Yan, looked at his brother who was staring so intently that he was practically drilling a hole in Lu Yan's back, and asked a question.

"If you're so bothered by them sitting together, why didn't you agree to switch seats with them earlier?"

Zhou Yanchen didn't reply, but his gaze shifted away from Lu Yan's back.

Zhu Jingru joked, "Should I switch Comrade Lu Yan's seats?"

Zhou Yanchen gave him a cold glance.

Zhu Jingru laughed, "Alright, alright, I won't change it."

Zhou Yanchen calmly withdrew his gaze, slowly tightening his grip on his knees, his eyes involuntarily falling on Lu Yan once more.

As if noticing him, Lu Yan turned around.

The screening room was dark, with only a faint light emanating from the screen.

The two were three or four rows apart, and everyone was looking up at the movie intently, yet they spotted each other with remarkable tacit understanding.

Lu Yan could clearly feel her heart racing.

The moment their eyes met, Zhou Yanchen wanted to look away, but he didn't; he just stared straight at her.

Lu Yan turned around, fidgeting with her hands.

After Lu Yan turned away, Zhou Yanchen also slowly withdrew his gaze, concealing the emotions in his eyes.

Zhu Jingru turned to look at him. "Zhou Yanchen, when did you become a coward?"

"Where did that man who dared to fly a fighter jet and fight the enemy at the age of twenty go?"

Zhou Yan's gaze remained fixed straight ahead, his voice devoid of any warmth: "Dead."

Zhu Jingru immediately fell silent.

Zhu Jingru turned his head to one side, feeling the air around him thinning, and loosened his collar in frustration.

He really wanted to leave!

Lu Yan didn't know what the two were talking about behind her. When she turned around again, she found that Zhu Jingru had turned his face away. A moment later, Zhu Jingru stood up and left.

Zhou Yanchen was left alone there. The light was too dim for Lu Yan to see the emotions in his eyes, but she could sense his loneliness and her brows furrowed involuntarily.

He Yuejin's voice rang in my ears, "If you want to go, then go."

No need to keep looking back.

Lu Yan was only focused on Zhou Yanchen and didn't notice the disappointment in He Yuejin's voice at all.

She placed Lu Yaguang on He Yuejin's lap. "Yaguang, you stay with your godfather for now. I'll go check on Uncle Zhou in the back."

Lu Yaguang nodded obediently, "Mom, you go ahead."

Leaving her seat, Lu Yan crouched down and walked to the back.

Zhou Yanchen's mind was still replaying Zhu Jingru's words when suddenly, a familiar fragrance wafted over.

Zhou Yanchen felt a chill run down his spine and looked up to see the girl who had appeared in front of him at some point.

Lu Yan smiled at him and said, "Mr. Zhou, I'm here."

In the darkness, the girl's eyes shone brightly. Zhou Yanchen felt as if everyone around him had disappeared, and all he could see were their faces, and all he could smell was their scent. It was as if the whole world consisted of just the two of them.

The coldness in his eyes suddenly melted away, as if stubborn ice had met magma and instantly turned into water.

Zhou Yanchen's breathing tightened as he tried his best to control his emotions, leaning back slightly to avoid Lu Yan hearing his deafening heartbeat.

Lu Yan took a step and sat down in Zhu Jingru's seat. Their coats touched, and Zhou Yan silently moved away from her.

He had just moved a little to the side when Lu Yan moved closer to him again.

With nowhere to retreat, Zhou Yan frowned at her and said, "Stay away from me."
