"I felt that you just dissed at my wedding, Zhu Chyou."
Chyou blinked and looked back to see Jun and Ai approaching them with the former not holding a very pleasant expression.
"Ai!"
"Chyou!"
The two ladies crashed into a hug and twirled in joy. Ai merrily chirped. "Thank you for inviting us to the premiere, Chyou. I am so excited!"
"Haha of course I will invite you! But I am mad at everybody else. Why didn't the rest of the gang come?"
Jun shrugged and whispered to himself. "Maybe they wanted to give you and a certain someone some private time."
"Did you say something?" She frowned.
He sneered. "Yes. I said why did I feel as if you were just cursing my wedding?"
Chyou's brow twitched. "What nonsense! Why will I ever curse my Ai!?" She squeezed Ai harder to make her point.
"Maybe because a certain someone was flustered after catching a certain bouquet," he sneered. Then he threw a meaningful glance at Yating.
"..."
"W-what is there to be flustered in that?"
Ai frowned. "Don't bully Chyou."
His gaze darkened. "I knew it was a bad idea to bring you here."
"Liu Jun," Yating smiled. "Congratulations once again."
He raised his brow. "Thanks. Good to see that at least one of your struggles has ended. I cannot comment on the other ones."
"Which other ones?"
"It will be best if you don't pretend," he smirked.
The corner of his mouth twitched.
The movie premiere began once Chyou and Yating took their seats inside the theater. Behind them, Director Murong's zealous voice echoed.
"Hoho there are the stars of today~ Gu Yating, how do you feel now that you will see yourself on the big screen?" He smirked.
"Somehow, I feel very weird," Yating adjusted his collar.
"Aish, you are too humble," he waved his hands in dismissal. "You should get ready for the accolades you are going to be showered with after you leave from here."
"Let's hope for the best," he smiled.
"Why are you crying?" Yating blinked. "It's not an emotional scene."
"It's emotional for me. Now that I see you on the big screen, you look even more mesmerizing. You are such a natural! You should seriously consider acting," she sincerely bobbed her head.
Jun smiled. "Yeah, yeah I know why you want that, Zhu Chyou."
She glared at him. "Why are you smirking as if I am some villain plotting bad stuff?"
He ignored her.
Yating coughed and looked away, trying to hide his embarrassment. Chyou never flattered anybody unnecessarily so if she was praising him, it meant that she genuinely appreciated and recognized his efforts.
He sheepishly scratched his head. "Thanks..."
Chyou covered her face again.
That was cute! His sheepish face was cute!
Ai sincerely nodded.
She is definitely head over heels, right? I was also similarly mesmerized time and again with Jun's cuteness.
Jun dryly said, "I think an ambulance should be ready just in case somebody fainted."
"For whom?" Chyou asked.
"For you, who else? Let us watch the movie in peace!"
"..."
"And Ai. Did you call me cute?" His eyes narrowed.
"In my mind," she gasped. "How did you read it?"
He dropped a smack on her head. "Your face tells me everything. Don't think of useless things!"
She furrowed her brows. "You being cute is not useless."
"Zip your lips before I drag you away from here," his lips twitched angrily in a smile.
As the movie progressed, one of the most crucial and important scenes flashed on the screen.
The scene where Yating, as Chyou's husband, gifted her the Q pendant. It was his last gift before he died.
Chyou stared at the scene and silently clutched her small purse. The Q pendant that Yating gifted her was still safely and neatly kept in her purse. She carried it and wore it everyday until Yin's insecurity made her hide it from everybody's view.
Yin was gone from her life now, yet Chyou couldn't bring the pendant out for some reason.
Ah...I really want to wear it again...
