Chapter 79: Chapter 78: An Extra Hand

Right up until they started checking tickets for the movie,

Gao Yuan still hadn’t figured out what surprise Lin Wanyu had prepared.

’I ought to pry open her little head and see what kind of weird ideas are rattling around in there,’ he thought.

After they entered the theater,

he followed the two of them up the movie theater stairs all the way to the last row, where Lin Wanyu took a left.

When Lin Wanyu stopped, Li Mengqing, who was behind Gao Yuan, pushed past him and sat in the innermost seat.

Gao Yuan looked at Lin Wanyu, confused.

’Why did she pick seats so far off to the side?’

’The prime viewing spots in the middle are still empty!’

"What are you spacing out for? Sit!"

Lin Wanyu pointed to the seat next to Li Mengqing, rolled her eyes at Gao Yuan, and spoke in a commanding tone.

Gao Yuan could only follow Lin Wanyu’s orders and sit down.

Their seating arrangement ended up with a man sandwiched between two women.

The seats next to them remained empty right up until the movie started, and even the row in front of them was vacant.

The film on the screen was Yu Hewei’s latest movie, *Solid as a Rock*. Given the film’s popularity and the appeal of a veteran actor like Yu Hewei, it was strange for so many seats to be empty.

He had no idea this was all Lin Wanyu’s doing. In the car, she had bought ten movie tickets.

The tickets for the four seats in front of them and the three seats beside them were now lying quietly in a trash can in the lobby.

Besides, the seats they’d chosen were just too far off to the side. What respectable person would pick these spots?

*Solid as a Rock* was a realistic drama with a dark visual style, so the light from the screen was extremely dim.

At first, the three of them were diligently watching the movie and eating snacks.

At some point, Gao Yuan noticed the armrest between his and Lin Wanyu’s seats was gone.

Lin Wanyu was hugging his arm, leaning against him.

Gao Yuan didn’t think much of it. ’She can get comfortable however she wants!’

But a moment later, he felt a small hand on his leg, tapping lightly and slowly moving its position...

Gao Yuan hissed through his teeth, forgetting all about the movie as his eyes darted around.

Fortunately, everyone else was engrossed in the film, and with the dim lighting, no one was paying attention to him.

Or perhaps someone had noticed, but it was so pitch-black that Gao Yuan couldn’t see them anyway.

"Movie theaters have infrared cameras," Gao Yuan whispered, leaning close to Lin Wanyu’s ear.

"I know. What am I doing?"

Hearing Lin Wanyu’s words, Gao Yuan almost went crazy.

’You call this nothing?’

’What more do you want to do?’

Lin Wanyu was one step away from pulling his zipper down.

Seeing that Lin Wanyu was ignoring him completely, her eyes glued to the screen, Gao Yuan decided to just go back to watching the movie.

And what do you know, watching the movie like this, Gao Yuan wasn’t the least bit sleepy.

He was in a constant state of excitement; he just couldn’t quite remember the plot.

After watching for a little while longer, Gao Yuan simply closed his eyes.

’This is too stimulating!’

He had gone to the movies with ex-girlfriends before, and knowing about the infrared cameras, he had always just watched the movie obediently or taken the chance to pretend to sleep and catch up on rest.

Afterward, he would just parrot a few thoughts based on clips he’d seen on TikTok to fake his way through it.

But now, he was simultaneously feeling pleasure, torment, and extreme excitement.

’So this is the real joy of watching a movie!’

Unfortunately, Gao Yuan’s imagination was too limited.

He had greatly underestimated Lin Wanyu’s plans.

As he closed his eyes and feigned sleep, Li Mengqing glanced at him quietly, her gaze meeting Lin Wanyu’s sly look in the darkness.

The next moment, a down jacket was draped over him. He opened his eyes to see that Li Mengqing had taken off her jacket and tossed it onto him.

Looking at Li Mengqing, who was watching the movie with rapt attention, Gao Yuan couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. ’Sister Qing is still the honest one!’

ZZZIP...

The faint sound of a zipper being pulled could be heard.

Gao Yuan could feel his zipper being slowly pulled down, but he kept his eyes shut.

’Doesn’t Lin Wanyu want to play?’

’The jacket’s covering everything, so let’s play!’

’It feels so good to experience the joy of a movie theater for the first time!’

The movie continued, and as a tense and exciting scene unfolded, a few gasps could be heard from the audience.

Gao Yuan couldn’t help but let out a low groan himself.

Suddenly, he felt an arm on his left leg.

Then he felt two small hands occasionally intertwining, sometimes teasing, sometimes gripping tightly...

He wanted to open his eyes, to look at Li Mengqing, to know what she was thinking!

In the past, she had only ever flirted with him in private messages, and she hadn’t done even that for the past few days.

’Today, how could she...’

Ultimately, he thought about all the things Li Mengqing had secretly done for him recently, and the way she had bitten her lip in the garage today.

Gao Yuan chose to keep his eyes closed.

’Anyway, I’m asleep right now!’

’I don’t know anything!’

After some time, Gao Yuan felt everything return to how it was at the beginning.

Lin Wanyu was still hugging his arm.

The only difference was that Li Mengqing was now leaning on his left shoulder.

Gao Yuan kept his eyes closed. This time, he was genuinely a little tired and drifted off to sleep without realizing it.

"Wake up!"

"You big lazybones!"

Gao Yuan was groggily shaken awake by Lin Wanyu.

He rubbed his eyes and looked around.

The movie was over, and many people in the theater were lining up to leave.

Li Mengqing picked up the down jacket from Gao Yuan’s lap and put it on.

Gao Yuan stretched, and the three of them joined the line heading out.

As they reached the exit corridor, Gao Yuan overheard a guy in front of them say to the girl beside him, "Honey, I just saw a guy watching the movie with two girls. He had a down jacket spread over him. I wonder what they were doing!"

"Maybe we should watch another movie."

"What is wrong with your head? Theaters have cameras, and they’re super clear!"

The girl gave the guy’s waist a hard pinch. He instantly yelped in pain and sidestepped, which was when he saw Gao Yuan’s group right behind them.

The guy froze for a second, then quickly grabbed the girl and hurried away.

Naturally, Gao Yuan and the two women saw the whole thing, but they all pretended they hadn’t and continued to walk out slowly.

"It’s already five o’clock. Let’s go to the supermarket to buy groceries!"

"Already bought them. We’re going straight home!"

Lin Wanyu once again rejected Gao Yuan’s suggestion.

"When did you buy them? What did you get?"

Gao Yuan was confused again. They had been together all day. How could he not know if they had bought anything?

"Oh, don’t worry about it. Everything has already been arranged!"

’It was "everything has been arranged" yet again!’

’Just how many things has Lin Wanyu arranged today?!’

This time, Gao Yuan couldn’t be bothered to think about it. He wouldn’t be able to guess anyway, and even if he did, he’d just have to accept it. So what was the point of even trying?

After what had just happened in the theater, there was a tiny bit of awkwardness between the three of them, but Gao Yuan could feel a subtle change in the way Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing looked at him.

As they exited the elevator and were approaching their car, they saw a man and a woman standing in front of it, along with a livestreaming tripod!
