Chapter 462: The Secret Between Me and Stars (1)

"That's enough, Nan Nan. It was me who invited Sister Xiaoye. I'll get angry if you continue to provoke her!" Liusu couldn't stand the noise around her. She dragged me with one hand and Dong Xiaoye with the other, and walked towards the entrance, "Let's get inside first. It might be quieter inside. It's so noisy and hot here, I don't understand why you want to wait here."

"Your idol is coming soon. Don't you want to wait for him?"

"I like watching his movies, not him. Wait for him? Who does he think he is?"

"I like this response, but... you didn't say this to me just to make me happy, did you?"

Liusu's cheeks were flushed, most likely I was right, "Don't flatter yourself. I just can't stand the heat and the noise. If we continued to wait here, I might puke because of your narcissistic talk before he showed up."

Her insincere denial because of embarrassment is so cute...

"Yeah, he is a disgusting guy, so it is normal that you want to puke after seeing him..."

"Who?"

Dong Xiaoye turned her head, leaving the back of her head to me, and said, "I wasn't talking about you, but if you like to assume that I was talking about you, I don't mind."

This damn woman definitely wants to pick a fight with me. Did I offend her? It seems like I did But even if I did, she didn't have to keep belittling me incessantly, right?

"Ow, ow, ow, ow" I stopped suddenly, clutching my abdomen and bending over, startling Liusu.

"What's wrong? Nan Nan, are you alright?"

I teasingly glanced at Dong Xiaoye, who was also equally panicked, and said with a playful smile: "I'm fine. It's just that it hurts down there again. Let's hurry up and find a place to sit inside. I almost forgot that my vital part was severely injured by a certain someone."

Liusu knew that I was deliberately messing with Dong Xiaoye. Feeling both amused and annoyed, she hit me in the chest. On the other hand, Dong Xiaoye's face flushed, and surprisingly, she did not say anything to me; there was even a flash of worry that I did not understand in her eyes.

In order to prevent piracy at the movie premiere, the entry check of the audience to the cinema was very troublesome.People had to go through detectors for inspection. Cameras and video equipment must all be left behind before they could enter the venue. When it was about our turn, I couldn't help asking Dong Xiaoye: "You didn't bring your gun, did you?"

Dong Xiaoye obviously knew what I was worried about. She irritably replied, "If I had a gun, would you even be alive now?"

Is this what a bodyguard should say... But I'm relieved after hearing what she said. There were so many reporters here, if the security detected a gun on her, we would be the news headlines instead of those stars.

Our seats were in the middle of the auditorium, a little to the front. The aisle was on the left side of Dong Xiaoye. It was convenient to enter and exit, and the location was quite good. I originally wanted to switch seats with Liusu and let her sit next to Dong Xiaoye, but sensing the tension between us, and wanting us to make up, Liusu simply refused my request.

Sitting next to the cold-faced Dong Xiaoye, it made me feel very awkward to have any intimate conversation with Liusu. I guessed Liusu was also thinking the same. For fear of leaving out Dong Xiaoye who was in a terrible mood, she just chatted with her and ignored me instead. I was so bored that I could only relieve my boredom by eating the snacks I had just bought. After a while, I finished a bucket of popcorn completely. This made the two girls very angry, and as a result, I was kicked out by them.

"Miss Chen, when will you arrive? Now that all the audience have already entered the venue, we can start the event if you are not here..."

When I was buying popcorn, I heard this rather furtive voice. As I looked around curiously, I discovered that behind the pillar with the movie poster, there was a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes wiping his sweat and talking on the phone to someone. I had seen this person during the entry check. One of the staff members called him 'Manager'. Presumably, he was someone who was in charge of the cinema.

"Yes, yes, I understand, makeup artists and everything are already ready. We are just waiting for you... What? Something happened to Miss Tong? What happened? Not feeling well? But two hours ago you said that no one would be absent and that they would be there on time... Okay, okay, 30 minutes, right? I know what to do, as long as Miss Tong can come, it will be fine... Damn it! She hung up?!"

The manager angrily stuffed the phone back into his pocket, and grumbled in a low voice: "Those fucking celebrities! Just because people call them stars, do they really think they are the stars in the sky? Do they know how much shit we have to deal with when they are late!?"

At the moment, most of the audience were waiting for the stars to appear on stage; there weren't many people like me who ate all the popcorn before the movie even started and then ran out to buy it again. When the manager turned around, he immediately noticed me looking at him while eating a bucket of popcorn. There was a flash of panic on his face, but he strolled off pretending nothing had happened.

"Did you go to Mars to buy popcorn?" Dong Xiaoye grabbed the popcorn bucket, stuffed a handful of it in her mouth, and said, "If I knew you wouldn't come back for a long time,

I would have gone with you just now, lest you cause trouble again. "

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Am I such a troublemaker?"

Liusu took over the three big cups of drinks I was holding, took one from the bag and gave it to Dong Xiaoye, and explained on behalf of her, "Sister Xiaoye didn't mean that. She just thought you were too slow. Do you know what time it is? It's 6:27, the stars will come out in three minutes."

"They won't be able to come out in three minutes," I said as I sat between the two of them, "It will be at least half an hour, or longer."

Liusu was dazed, "How do you know?"

"I have superpower. I can predict the future."

Dong Xiaoye disdainfully said: "Don't listen to him, Liusu, he's talking nonsense."

I shrugged, "You'll see if it's nonsense or not."

Dong Xiaoye snorted, and just when she wanted to say something to me my cell phone rang.

"Nan Nan, put your phone on silent mode when watching a movie."

"Oh," I responded. Looking at the caller ID, I couldn't help feeling guilty, "Hello, Yuan Yuan..."

It was almost time for dinner, but I was sitting in the cinema with Liusu. If Chu Yuan knew about this, her face would definitely be even colder than Dong Xiaoye's.

"Elder Brother, can Dongfang and I go home later?"

Unexpectedly, this girl wasn't questioning me where I was now, but cautiously asking me if she could go home late.

"Go home later?" The implication was that she hadn't gone home yet, "Why? What are you two doing outside at this time?"

"Nothing!" Chu Yuan suddenly and loudly refuted me. Then she gave a dry cough and lowered her voice, "Dongfang said, she wants to eat barbecue at the food stall..."

Before she finished her words, I heard Dongfang's voice, "Why is it me who wants to eat, not 'you'?"

"Go away," Chu Yuan seemed to have driven Dongfang away, and then asked softly, "Elder Brother, is it okay?"

Relying on the support of my old man, Chu Yuan had always acted arbitrarily and never asked for my permission. It was very rare for her to ask for my permission once, so I couldn't bring myself to refuse her.

In addition, she said that Dongfang wants to eat barbecue at the food stalls... Regarding Dongfang's matters, I feel a little guilty in my heart. Although there was nothing wrong in sending her back home, it was still a very cruel thing to do. If her mother really wanted to send her to France, she would not be able to taste the unique and delicious food in the Bei Tian city's food stall.

"Okay, but stay out too late. Just go to the food stalls at the entrance of the night market. It's lively and very safe there. You should know which stalls I'm talking about. I've taken you there once. A few stall owners know me, so they should be able to remember you as well. Go to their stalls to eat, it's cheap there, and they will take care of you both for me..."

"I'm not a kid!"

"You are not a kid, but you are a girl. Be a good girl, okay? Bei Tian city hasn't been safe recently, so don't make me worried."

"Okay, okay, I know. You are more annoying than mom." This bratty girl complained and then hung up.

Dong Xiaoye was dissatisfied, "Little Chu, I don't mind you expressing your concern for your little sister, but you can't just casually slander us police officers. You tell me, how is Bei Tian city not safe?"

I forgot that Dong Xiaoye was a policewoman, and what I said just now was obviously doubting her ability to protect the citizens of Bei Tian city, "You have been following me everywhere, and you still want me to explain the safety issue?"

"You" Dong Xiaoye was at a loss for words. "Your case is different. This is not a public security issue, but you are a troublemaker! "

Seeing that we were arguing again, Liusu hurriedly intervened, "Sister Xiaoye, don't be too harsh on Nan Nan, okay? He didn't do anything wrong, did he? And you, Nan Nan, Sister Xiaoye is right, You are doting on Yuan Yuan too much. It's not that there's anything wrong with caring about her, but you can't limit her freedom just because you care about her. Girls need their own space more than you men do."
