Chapter 71: Guns, Flowers, Movie Theater 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

(I’m sorry, I didn’t expect pushing down Yu Xiaodi would cause such a strong reaction among some friends, so I want to apologize first! Secondly, I want to say that this is not a reality-themed novel; this is a typical male-oriented urban YY novel from Qidian. Please don’t say things like "If it were you..." blah blah blah. If you really like reality, you would naturally go read something like "Dwelling Narrowness". People come to Qidian to read mainly for relaxation during breaks from work or study, seeking happiness, not depression, so don’t be so hung up, just stay calm. If you really want reality, could there really be a perfect harem in reality? Also, Li Yan was already married from the start, not just now, and aside from early days protecting Nian Yufei, he’s never been a saint regarding male-female issues, has he? Yu Xiaodi has always been proactive; they almost couldn’t resist once before. In reality, Christmas and Valentine’s day are when girls are most likely to check into a hotel with their boyfriend for the first time. On special days, people’s emotions become a bit special, a birthday is also a girl’s special day, it’s not a sudden fall from grace.)

Haha, as always, stay calm, be happy, and have a pleasant read. If you don’t like a certain female lead, just skim through, skip those Chapters. Wish everyone a happy weekend, thank you for continuing to support Mixed. — Old Lai, the above was written temporarily and is not included in the charge.)

When they finished eating and were about to leave, Li Yan stood up first and noticed that there was a cell phone left in the spot where Sonia had just been sitting! The phone was placed at the edge of the chair and covered more than half by the tablecloth hanging down from the dining table. So after Xiao Di greeted her and sat down, she didn’t notice it.

Seeing this, Li Yan found an excuse to look around, letting Xiao Di walk in front, then followed her around that side, and picked up the phone smoothly as they passed by.

If Sonia came back looking for the phone and called the number, with the phone ringing on him in the restaurant, it would definitely be an awkward situation, but Li Yan didn’t believe she accidentally left her phone; this was probably deliberately left for him.

After leaving the restaurant and the hotel, there was no sign of Sonia again, perhaps because she was found out, so she left Li Yan’s vicinity and had someone else keep watch, or maybe maintained a greater distance, waiting outside to track using binoculars.

Whatever the reason, Li Yan didn’t dare to take it lightly. Today should have been a relaxing day, but now he must be very cautious.

If they’re quite close, he would notice the enemy in time, but if they’re at a greater distance using a sniper rifle, it could be quite dangerous. As he drove away from the hotel, he constantly kept an eye out, ensuring the car was not in the same frame for too long.

For what Xiao Di was saying on the side, he didn’t have much energy for jokes, and just, under the excuse of needing to concentrate on driving, casually responded to her.

When they arrived at the cinema that they had visited a few times, Li Yan was sure there was no car following them through careful observation along the way. This put him a bit at ease, but while buying tickets, he still took note of the surrounding people and environment. Afterwards, he accompanied Xiao Di to buy lots of snacks, looked at posters together, and only when the movie was about to start did he take Xiao Di inside.

Returning to the place where they could be said to have watched a movie together for the first time, Xiao Di was in good spirits. The specifics of what movie it was were not the main point now; what’s important is watching it with whom.

"Do you remember? It was right here that I charmed you!"

"Hmph, caught off guard, how could I not remember? It’s just that I was too honest, never expected you to be a little delinquent one night, and turn into an innocent high school student the next day, even with a wig and exaggerated glasses, and even sneakily drugging me with the straw." Li Yan still felt a bit aggrieved; he indeed had no guard at the time.

"Hehe, it was actually quite fun thinking about it. Why don’t we get some handcuffs, later at the hotel, you can cuff me for fun?"

Seeing her excitement, Li Yan was speechless. Play with handcuffs? An SM thing?

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

"No can do, it’s a secret, it also requires talent, can’t teach you that."

"Teach me, please! What if I get captured by bad guys one day, I can save myself too."

Xiao Di was just finding an excuse, but hearing it, Li Yan indeed felt slightly uneasy!

’Miss Yu, I really like you, maybe we’d become friends.’ He previously chose to believe Sonia meant she wouldn’t involve Xiao Di and would treat her as a friend. But how else could it also imply Sonia was hinting at capturing Xiao Di?

"Don’t say things like that, I won’t let bad guys capture you. Alright, the movie is about to start." Li Yan brushed her aside, gesturing for her to watch the screen, and then muttered to himself, "There really aren’t many people at the morning show."

As he spoke, his eyes roamed the theater, scanning the sparse audience inside.

"You’re making a movie, and at the same time spying?"

"Haha, sort of!"

The lights dimmed, and the movie began to play. Xiao Di leaned against Li Yan’s shoulder, unwrapping snacks for herself and Li Yan to eat. At this moment, she felt utterly content—this is really enjoying the movie experience! Unlike that time when Chen Xiaoen sat on the other side, which was utterly boring.
