Rebirth: The Comeback of the Girl-Chapter 709 - 708: Watching a Movie

Seeing Gu Qing’s face turn pale in an instant, Lu Huai felt a hint of pleasure in revenge rising within him.

But the moment such a thought emerged, he immediately regretted it!

He regretted that he had discarded civility and politeness for such a person.

However, although he truly regretted verbally lashing out, his desire to confront Gu Qing immediately was also genuine!

Thus, without waiting for Gu Qing to say anything, Lu Huai quickly took the opportunity while she was distracted to forcefully pull his arm out of her grasp!

Then he lowered his voice and said, "If you hadn’t pushed me too far! I wouldn’t have said the following words! Let me be honest with you, Gu Qing, I have long known about you and Hong Ruixiang! You don’t need to pretend anymore, what I mean is, I know everything that I should and shouldn’t know! So, don’t bother me again in the future! Let’s pretend we don’t know each other when we meet again!"

In a matter of seconds, Gu Qing had just climbed out of the pit of being scolded by her beloved, only to immediately fall into another deeper and bigger pit of despair! In her urgency, she didn’t even think before trying to grab Lu Huai’s arm again! 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Her movements were so frantic, as if gripping him was like clutching at a lifeline...

As a result, Lu Huai, having just been taken advantage of, was startled into dodging frantically twice! And he took two steps back to maintain a safe distance from her!

"Lu Huai, listen to me explain! With him, I—,"

Unfortunately, before Gu Qing could finish speaking, Lu Huai sharply cut her off!

"You don’t need to explain to me! I don’t want to hear it! We have no relationship whatsoever! If you keep pestering me, don’t blame me—,"

Although Lu Huai cut himself off there, any sane person would understand what he intended to say next!

Gu Qing wasn’t foolish, naturally she understood too that Lu Huai was intending to use her secrets as a threat!

Amidst the awkwardness and embarrassment, she could only forcefully swallow her anger...

——

Unable to face staying any longer, Gu Qing only lingered for a few seconds before quickly leaving Wenqing Cold Drink.

As soon as she left, Lu Huai immediately rushed to Zhen Yu’s table, sitting down beside her!

As soon as he sat down, he began to explain, "Zhen Yu listen to me! Things aren’t what you think! I—,"

"Stop!" Zhen Yu first made a stopping gesture with her hand, then said, "Whatever the situation is, explain it to whoever you need to explain it to! There’s no need to tell me!"

Lu Huai was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood—Zhen Yu was suggesting he go confess directly to Bai Xue!

"Uh, I got it! Enjoy your meal then! I’ll leave first!"

Watching Lu Huai’s panicked retreat, Qian Duoduo suddenly asked, "He likes Bai Xue, right?"

"Eh? Really?" Liu Ting, upon hearing this, instinctively turned to look at Zhen Yu first!

Then, without waiting for Zhen Yu to respond, Liu Ting immediately turned back and leaned close to Qian Duoduo, asking loudly, "Duoduo, how did you know? I had no idea!"

"I guessed!" Qian Duoduo answered, still staring intently at Zhen Yu, waiting for her response.

Zhen Yu could only smile and nod, "I only have Bai Xue as a female friend here in Qi City, it’s normal for you to guess."

Hearing her reply, Liu Ting then belatedly said, "Oh! Right! Why didn’t I think of that just now..."

——

The incident with Lu Huai was just a minor episode; after all, it was not much related to Qian Duoduo and Liu Ting, so their spirits remained high.

So after finishing the cold drinks, the three of them also discussed their next destination, which was—to go to the cinema to watch a movie!

Laha was such a small place after all, having only one cinema, and it was right on the main street!

So, apart from Zhen Yu, who had been reborn, the other two girls had only been to the cinema once in elementary school with their mothers to watch "Mom, Love Me Again!" The only reason they got to see that one movie was thanks to the welfare tickets given out by their mothers’ workplaces during Women’s Day!

That movie was so popular that year! Almost every workplace with female employees distributed tickets...

Since time was tight and the task urgent, the only requirement the three girls had was to be able to enter the auditorium immediately! So as soon as they entered the cinema, Zhen Yu immediately went to buy the tickets! She didn’t even care about what type of movie was about to be shown.

After all, she was just there to accompany her friends, not because she was particularly eager to watch!

Moreover, this was a regular cinema, so there was nothing to worry about...

After getting the tickets, Zhen Yu immediately rushed herself and the other two to the ticket check. They had to go in now; otherwise, they would miss the start of the movie.

——

"The last row! And it’s in the corner!"

Liu Ting was relatively short and preferred the front row! Sitting at the back now, she felt quite uncomfortable.

Zhen Yu could only explain, "These are the only tickets left! Anyway, watching a movie is not like attending a class; the back row is just fine!"

"Exactly! The movie is starting, stop talking!" Qian Duoduo, focusing on the screen’s title, tried to smooth things over.

Liu Ting: "Okay..."

From Zhen Yu’s perspective in her second life, this movie was quite boring.

But for Qian Duoduo and Liu Ting, it was captivating enough to grab all their attention!

So while the other two were engrossed, Zhen Yu started feeling sleepy...

Since the movie was still long, Zhen Yu let herself lean back in her chair and closed her eyes.

But not long after, just when she was about to fall asleep, she suddenly felt a hand laying on her thigh!

"Fuck!" This shout wasn’t just in her mind, but Zhen Yu screamed it out loud after jumping up!

For a moment, many people in the cinema turned around to look at her! Including Qian Duoduo and Liu Ting!

Liu Ting was the first to quietly ask, "What’s wrong, Xiao Yu?"

Zhen Yu heard her but didn’t answer; instead, she raised her hand and fiercely slapped the man sitting next to her!

Because the moment she stood up, she realized it was not a ghost but a person—and ghosts might be scary, but people could be equally bad!

This was blatant cinema harassment!

"Slap!" A very loud sound! The man was stunned initially!

But then! Regaining his composure, he jumped up and shouted, "What the fuck! Who the hell do you think you are hitting people randomly?"

Zhen Yu defiantly retorted, "Random my ass! I hit you exactly because you are a pervert!"

As soon as she said the last two words, everyone around immediately understood what was happening...
