Chapter 71: Guns, Flowers, Cinema

(I’m sorry, I didn’t expect pushing Yu Xiaodi over would cause such a strong reaction from some friends, so I apologize to everyone first! Secondly, I’d like to say, this isn’t a realistic novel, it’s a typical urban fantasy novel with male tendencies found on start-up platforms, so please don’t say things like "if it were you..." etc. If you really like realistic stories, you’d naturally go for something like "Dwelling Narrowness". Everyone comes to this platform to read books primarily to relax after work or study and to pursue happiness, not to find depression, so don’t be so entangled, stay calm. If it were truly realistic, could there be a harem where everyone is pure? Besides, Li Yan was married from the beginning, not just now, apart from protecting Nian Yufei early on, he’s never been a saint when it comes to gender issues, right? Yu Xiaodi has always been proactive, the two of them almost couldn’t hold back once before. In reality, Christmas and Valentine’s Day are often when girls first book a room with their boyfriends the most, on special days emotions become a bit special, birthdays are also special days for girls, they don’t just suddenly fall.)

Haha, still the same words, everyone stay calm and happy, enjoy reading. If you don’t like a particular female lead, then just skim through it, skip those Chapters. Happy weekend to everyone, and thank you for continuing to support Mixed. — Old Lai, the above, written temporarily and not included in the charges)

When leaving after dinner, Li Yan stood up first and noticed that on the seat Sonia just occupied, there was a phone left behind! The phone was placed on the edge of the seat, covered more than halfway by the tablecloth falling from the dining table. So Xiaodi didn’t notice after she greeted her and sat down.

After seeing this, Li Yan used it as an excuse to look around, let Xiaodi go ahead, then followed her around that way, and while passing by, he casually picked up the phone. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

If Sonia came back to look for her phone, dialed the number, and it rang on him inside the restaurant, that would definitely be an awkward situation, but Li Yan didn’t believe she accidentally left the phone, it was intentionally left for him.

After leaving the restaurant, and then the hotel, Sonia’s shadow was nowhere to be found, maybe because she was discovered, so she left Li Yan’s vicinity, sending others to watch him, or perhaps maintaining a greater distance, waiting to follow from outside using binoculars.

No matter the reason, Li Yan dared not take it lightly. It was supposed to be a relaxing day, but now he had to be extremely cautious.

If they were not far apart, he could timely detect the enemy, but if from a more distant location using a sniper rifle, it could be very dangerous. When driving away from the hotel, he was always cautious, making sure the car didn’t stay visible in one view for too long.

Regarding what Xiaodi said beside him, he didn’t have much energy to joke, simply responding to her under the pretense of focusing on driving.

Upon arriving at that cinema they’ve been to a few times, through observation along the way, Li Yan confirmed they weren’t being followed. This made him relax a bit, but when buying tickets, he still paid attention to the people and environment around him. Then he accompanied Xiaodi to buy a lot of snacks, looked at posters together, waiting until the movie was about to start, then took Xiaodi inside.

Returning to the place where they watched a movie together for the first time, Xiaodi still felt pretty good. What specific movie it was wasn’t important anymore, the key was who she was watching it with.

"Remember? It was here that you were mesmerized by me!"

"Hmph, got caught in a small trick, how could I forget? I can only blame myself for being too honest, never expected you to be like a little delinquent the night before, and turn into an innocent high school student the next day, also with a wig, exaggerated prescription glasses, and cunningly drugged the straw." Li Yan was a bit resentful, he truly wasn’t on guard at the time.

"Hehe, thinking back, it was pretty fun. What if we get some handcuffs, and when we get back to the hotel, you let me cuff you for fun, okay?"

Seeing her excitement, Li Yan was speechless for a moment.

"I’m really curious how you unlocked the handcuffs, can you teach me?"

"No way, it’s a secret, it requires talent, can’t teach you."

"Come on, teach me! In case I get captured by bad guys one day, I can rescue myself too."

Xiaodi was just finding an excuse, but this sounded a bit alarming to Li Yan!

’Miss Yu, I like you very much, perhaps we could become friends.’ He just wishfully understood this as Sonia indicating she wouldn’t get Xiaodi involved, would treat her as a friend. But couldn’t this be understood as Sonia hinting that she wanted to capture her?

"Don’t say such things, I won’t let any bad guys catch you. Alright, the movie is starting." Li Yan dismissed her a bit, gestured her to watch the screen, then said to himself: "The morning show really doesn’t have many people."

As he spoke, his eyes glanced around, surveying the sparse audience in the theater.

"Making a movie, doing some background checks?"

"Haha, something like that!"

The lights dimmed, and the movie began to play. Xiaodi leaned against Li Yan, unpacking snacks for herself and Li Yan to eat. At this moment, she felt very content, this was truly enjoying the movie-watching process! Like that time when Chen Xiaoen was sitting on the other side, it was very uninteresting indeed.
