Chapter 83
Shen Tang was seeing a movie with a male for the first time.
She didn't expect the tickets Gu Huaian's friend had given them to be for a horror film.
After the two entered the theater, they discovered there were hardly any people inside, only a dozen or so couples.
Their seats were in a prime central location.
Shen Tang settled into her seat with popcorn and Coke in hand, and glanced over at Gu Huaian beside her.
[Oh my god, I'm not going to get scared later am I!]
Hearing her thoughts, stone-faced Gu Huaian clenched his fists tightly. He would definitely keep an eye on Shen Tang, and leave early if it got too frightening.
The movie soon started, and Shen Tang watched with gusto as she snacked.
Gu Huaian beside her was looking rather pale.
Shen Tang reached over and grasped his hand, leaning in to softly ask: "Are you scared?"
Scared? How could a man admit to being scared? Let alone with Shen Tang next to him.
Gu Huaian shook his head. "Not one bit."
"Oh," Shen Tang responded. "But you look so pale."
"I was born this way."
Shen Tang sighed and shook her head. Keep pretending then.
The most stubborn part of his entire body was his mouth. Even the sky could collapse and his mouth would be there to prop it up.
Gu Huaian: "......"
He wanted to say...nevermind, it sounded dirty, best leave it unsaid.
Men really did share many similarities, being stubborn for instance.
Shen Tang withdrew her hand, but he gripped it tightly.
Oh well, hand holding it was then. It wasn't costing her anything.
Gu Huaian didn't pay attention to the movie plot at all, completely focused on the feeling of her soft hand in his own. He couldn't help but grow nervous:
Was he holding too tightly? Were his palms getting sweaty...? Fôllôw new stories at novelhall.com
Who would have thought he'd have such worries one day.
Gu Huaian pressed his lips together and sneakily glanced at the other couples in the theatre. Most had the girl looking fearful and the guy comforting her, and one couple was even boldly making out.
Gu Huaian: "......"
This was a public place, the security cameras could see everything clearly, yet they didn't care at all?
Noticing Gu Huaian's gaze, Shen Tang gave a knowing look. She pulled his head down onto her shoulder and put her arm around him.
"Don't be scared, it's all fake."
Gu Huaian: "......"
After hesitating a moment, he maintained this position.
Though somewhat embarrassing, this was considered intimate contact, especially since Shen Tang had initiated it.
The woman shrank back a little, but seeing the crowd around her spoke up again stubbornly: "Whether or not you're a mistress, you know clearly in your heart. If you aren't, then prove it!"
Shen Tang crossed her arms over her chest. "Hilarious. The burden of proof lies with the one who alleges. Do you understand? You're alleging I'm a mistress. I might as well allege you're a mistress, and a spare on the side too."
"I was trying to give you some face, but since you refuse to back down, you want proof right? Take a look then."
The woman took out her phone and opened to a picture.
It was a bed photo containing a woman who resembled her and a man lying together.
Shen Tang was shocked, eyes bulging wide.
The two bore an astonishing seven parts likeness! They could pass as biological sisters.
"Holy crap! The resemblance!"
"See the similarity!"
After speaking both felt something was off.
The woman was stunned a moment. "Why are you pretending? This is obviously you right?"
Shen Tang frowned. "We do really look alike, but this clearly isn't me. Ask the people around if you don't believe me."
Shen Tang didn't know if she had a sister, but this woman definitely wasn't her. The cosmetic surgery traces were still distinct.
The woman first showed the photo to the shop attendant. The attendant smiled and shook her head, "There is a strong resemblance, but it's not the same person. The one in the picture has a pointier chin, it looks like she got some work done."
It had to be said, shop attendants really did have a discerning eye.
Shen Tang gave her a thumbs up.
"That's right, her nose is smaller than mine too."
Shen Tang suspected the woman in the picture also had a nose job.
She'd read before that those surgeries were terribly painful, this girl sure had endurance.
Still unconvinced, the woman passed her phone around to some passersby.
Most said it wasn't the same person, though a few felt it could be an issue of angles and makeup.
Shen Tang: "......"
"Wait seriously, shouldn't you all go get your eyes examined?" Shen Tang earnestly suggested.
"My eyes are perfectly fine!"
"Hold on, isn't she that actress? Called something or other Tang?"
"Now that you mention it...seems like she is..."
Shen Tang desperately wanted to cover her face and flee, that would only affirm she actually was Shen Tang though.
She deliberately touched her own face, asking in delight: "Really? People have told me before I resemble a famous actress!"
Hearing her say this, the crowd then felt she wasn't the celebrity after all.
"I must have seen incorrectly..."
Shen Tang disagreed. "No no, you didn't see wrong ma'am. I do look a lot like Shen Tang. We're equally good looking."
Passerby: "Eh yo~!"
