Chapter 94: Chapter 94 Brothers are for Betrayal

Translator: 549690339

It was a magazine.

The cover was peculiar.

Upon opening the first page, An Nuonuo blushed, unable to hold it back.

“Nuonuo, where are you?”

Just at that moment, Jiang Xu came into the bedroom after taking a shower.

And then, he witnessed this scene before him.

He couldn’t help but widen his eyes.

Oh my God.

How come this thing is still here?

He remembered, it was on a sun-drenched summer day.

He and Fu Yanjie passed a stall selling discs and magazines.

Indeed.

Fu Yanjie’s attention was immediately drawn to the magazines on the stall.

He bought two copies, planning to explore the world of adults.

He gifted one to Jiang Xu.

Jiang Xu didn’t plan to take it, but couldn’t resist Fu Yanjie’s enthusiasm.

With no choice, he accepted it.

The content in the magazine, well, it was okay.

Anyway, Jiang Xu appreciated the dedication of the female lead.

Well worth a study.

An Nuonuo shivered with shock.

She felt foolish.

Holding this thing in her hand, she didn’t know whether to put it back or keep it hidden.

Jiang Xu walked in.

His eyes briefly glanced at the magazine in her hand.

He immediately tried to put himself out there in a ridiculous way.

In a dramatic tone, he said, “Oh my, An Nuonuo, I didn’t expect you to be into this sort of thing…”

“No…that’s not the case…” An Nuonuo stammered: “It…it fell off from your… bookshelf.”

Jiang Xu put on a righteous face: “How could that be possible, I’m a good guy, I would never touch that.”

He then swiftly added: “But I can understand, at this age, it’s normal to be curious about certain things.

Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone.”

An Nuonuo was flustered.

She wanted to tell him she really wasn’t like that.

But looking at Jiang Xu’s expression,

She knew she had been tricked again.

She angrily pulled out her phone, intending to call Chen Yue.

Scared, Jiang Xu hurriedly pleaded for mercy: “Don’t, I was wrong, I admit it, Fu Yanjie gave it to me reluctantly.”

There was no other way.

Good buddies are meant to be betrayed.

An Nuonuo oh-ed in response, then said it was time to leave.

Only then did Jiang Xu notice that his room had been tidied.

He was touched.

She was indeed a good girl.

He, with only one virtue, could only reward her in that way.

They set off to go to the cinema.

Of course, Jiang Xu made sure An Nuonuo wore a mask.

Otherwise, with her looks, it could very easily cause trouble.

Upon arriving at the cinema, Jiang Xu bought popcorn and two iced colas.

The young girl was overwhelmed, her eyes darting everywhere.

Everything fascinated her.

This was her first visit to the cinema.

When they arrived, the film had just started.

However, there were only a few other viewers.

In the whole theater, including them, there were just twelve people.

The lights dimmed, An Nuonuo took off her mask.

She picked up a popcorn and offered it to Jiang Xu first.

Jiang Xu took a bite.

An Nuonuo retracted her hand as if electrocuted.

She looked at Jiang Xu, both aggrieved and angry.

Jiang Xu pretended like nothing happened, sipping on cola and watching the film.

An Nuonuo was helpless against him, and watched the movie in a sullen manner.

But soon, she was engrossed in the plot.

Jiang Xu, with a loud smack of his lips, also began to watch the movie earnestly.

Yes, the beginning was really good.

Zhou Qingyue’s outfit matched the original novel perfectly.

While the acting was not quite awe-inspiring, it was still watchable.

“It was mainly her appearance and figure.

These aspects made people largely overlook her deficiencies in acting skills.

The first half of the novel was relatively plain.

The latter half, however, was teeming with dramatic climaxes that aroused intense emotions.

An Nuonuo was already secretly wiping away her tears.

She even sneakily glanced at Jiang Xu.

Pity shone in her eyes.

Jiang Xu was furious.

In An Nuonuo’s eyes, Jiang Xu discerned that she compared him with the unfortunate clown protagonist of the story.

Damn!

But on second thought.

Such a good opportunity couldn’t be wasted.

So.

He leaned his head onto An Nuonuo’s fragrant shoulders, his face twisting in agony.

An Nuonuo tensed, her voice a little shaky as she asked, “What’s wrong with you?”

“Nothing, I just remembered something heartbreaking. May I rest my head on your shoulder?”

An Nuonuo twisted uncomfortably, looking around the room.

But she quickly turned back.

She noticed that the other patrons behind her weren’t watching the film at all.

They were unabashedly making out.

This sight delivered a major shock to An Nuonuo’s innocent heart.

“How long… do you need?” she asked, her voice sounding rather pitiful.

Jiang Xu drew a deep breath.

The unique scent of a young girl filled his nostrils.

Enchanting and refreshing.

In response to An Nuonuo’s question, Jiang Xu retorted, “Can’t you show some compassion as my desk mate?

Can’t you see how heartbroken I am?”

An Nuonuo blinked, taken aback.

She noticed that his expression indeed seemed agonized, and it looked like he was fighting back tears.

Her heart softened.

She thought she was being somewhat harsh with her words.

However, she failed to notice Jiang Xu pinching his own thigh hard with his other hand.

His pain was unbearable.

How could he not cry?

So, Jiang Xu rested his head on An Nuonuo’s fragrant shoulders.

In an “adorable and clingy” pose, he continued watching the film.

The film lasted a hundred and twenty minutes.

At the end, An Nuonuo cried again.

She was quite a sentimental girl.

Although Jiang Xu held great disdain and annoyance towards Zhou Qingyue, he had to admit that she acted superbly in the film.

She perfectly portrayed the main character of the original novel.

Presumably, Zhou Qingyue believed that the character in the novel was a reflection of herself.

So, she imbued some inexplicable empathy into her role.

From Jiang Xu’s perspective.

The movie had a high chance of becoming a hit.

It was potentially similar to that movie so many years later named “Those Years, The Girl We Chased After”.

From another angle, if the movie was successful, Jiang Xu would also earn a great deal of money.

When signing the contract, Jiang Xu had opted for profit-sharing instead of a fixed copyright fee.

If the net profit of the movie was ten million.

Jiang Xu would receive about one million pre-tax profit.

However, if the movie was a hit, the net profit would certainly exceed ten million.

Moreover, once its popularity waned in the cinema, the movie’s broadcasting rights could be sold to television platforms.

It could also bring an increase in his fame.

However, how big the boost would be.

Depended on the final success of the movie.

As the film ended, An Nuonuo remained in her seat, dabbing at her teary eyes.

Jiang Xu felt nothing much, but he sat with her, sharing in her emotional moment.

The other people in the theatre had already left.

It was unknown how much of the film they had actually taken in.

After a while, Jiang Xu noticed that An Nuonuo showed no signs of wanting to leave.

So he smiled and asked, “What’s the matter, you don’t want to leave? Are you planning on kissing here?”

He thought An Nuonuo would blush and say “I hate you” as usual.

Or maybe she would heedlessly bite him.

Unexpectedly this time, she responded with words that caught Jiang Xu by complete surprise…
