Chapter 106 Heart-Fluttering Moments in the Movie Theater
At night, in the movie theater.
Lu Ran pulled Cheng Ning to a seat at the back.
In recent years, fewer and fewer people have gone to the movies. Even on Sundays, there are not many people in the cinemas, and you can hardly find a good seat.
Lu Ran chose a movie about love, the kind that young couples would watch on a date.
He wasn't very famous; he didn't even know the film existed before buying the ticket.
Fortunately, the target audience was precise, and even though the movie plot was old-fashioned, there were still people who came to support it, unlike other venues where there were only a few people or even no audience at all.
Before the movie even started, couples were already snuggling together.
Lu Ran was just trying to find an excuse to pull Cheng Ning closer when the lights went out. He felt a weight on his shoulder as Cheng Ning leaned against him.
Thinking back to my past experiences watching movies.
It seems that Cheng Ning has always been quite proactive. Lu Ran brought up the system to check Cheng Ning's current heart rate.
Girlfriend: Cheng Ning.
[Current heart rate: 50.]
Lu Ran wondered to himself, "How come it's only fifty?"
After thinking for a moment, Lu Ran reached out and put his arm around Cheng Ning's waist.
Cheng Ning trembled slightly, but did not flinch. Instead, she leaned quietly against Lu Ran.
[Current heart rate: 60.]
"Never mind, let's just enjoy the date!"
Lu Ran muttered to himself and then stopped paying attention to the heartbeat data.
Rather than completing the mission, he now wanted to enjoy his date with Cheng Ning.
But the atmosphere quickly became a little awkward.
Because their positions were relatively far back, they could see the situation of most people.
Halfway through the movie, the flirtation between many young couples escalated dramatically; they were no longer satisfied with simple hugs and went straight to kissing.
Some even started gnawing on them.
Lu Ran regretted choosing this type of movie. What if it scared Cheng Ning?
Lu Ran moved her neck slightly and glanced at Cheng Ning out of the corner of her eye, wanting to see her reaction.
As luck would have it, Cheng Ning also secretly glanced at him at that moment, and their eyes met. They both blushed and quickly looked away.
This is understandable, as he has no experience with this kind of thing.
He could only try to ease the tension by eating popcorn, and Cheng Ning thought the same way. The two of them bought only one bucket and grabbed each other's hands by blindly grabbing without looking.
Fortunately, the two often hold hands, so this wasn't too stressful for them.
They instinctively grabbed a corner of the popcorn, took out a few kernels, and put them in their mouths to dispel the ambiguous atmosphere by eating.
At this point, the movie jumps to a special scene where the male and female leads are also watching a movie, and they're even feeding each other popcorn.
A few seconds later, the words "Feed the people around you popcorn!" appeared on the screen.
Lu Ran inwardly exclaimed, "Wow!"
Does this director think he's very humorous and has great skills?
Instead of focusing on the film's content, they're just throwing around these fancy tricks. But thinking about it, Lu Ran couldn't help but admire their approach.
This way, at least more popcorn can be sold.
Seeing everyone feeding each other, Lu Ran was also a little tempted and grabbed a few popcorn kernels to hand to Cheng Ning.
"Do you want some?"
Cheng Ning's face was now completely red, whether from the lighting or from shyness, it was hard to tell.
Seeing her hesitation, Lu Ran realized that this was a bit abrupt and was about to take it back when he suddenly felt a heat in his palm.
A strange feeling rushed straight to the top of his head. If there were a heart rate test right now, Lu Ran's heart rate would be at least 150.
He thought Cheng Ning was too embarrassed to let him feed her, and that she would reluctantly accept it, so he took the popcorn away with his hand.
But he never imagined that Cheng Ning would eat the popcorn in his hand with her mouth.
"Gulp gulp".
Lu Ran's heart pounded like thunder.
If the system required a boyfriend's affection level, it would definitely be maxed out right now.
【Ding! 】
[Congratulations, host, you have completed the romance mission.]
[Gained 2000 treasure chest experience points.]
[Current stored treasure chest experience points: 14080.]
The mission was completed, indicating that Cheng Ning's heart rate was also very high.
But Lu Ran still felt it wasn't enough, so he coughed and said, "Mmm, I, I want to eat too."
This was the first time he had spoken to Cheng Ning in this tone; he had become a carbon copy of Cheng Ning.
Actually, Cheng Ning didn't do it on purpose.
Her mind was blank at that moment, and she kept thinking, what should she do if Lu Ran did the same thing to her as other couples?
As she was thinking about it, Lu Ran actually decided to feed her popcorn. Although she was shy, in order not to embarrass Lu Ran, she followed the actions of other couples and lowered her head to eat the popcorn from Lu Ran's hand.
Now Lu Ran wants her to feed him popcorn, and Cheng Ning can only do so shyly.
He grabbed a piece of popcorn and held it to Lu Ran's lips.
When Cheng Ning also felt the warm touch from Lu Ran's palm, her already high heart rate rose again, and she started playing a heartbeat drum game with him.
Cheng Ning's affection level has reached 100.
[You have obtained a Romance Skill Card.]
[White/Dream Interaction: After use, the host can enter their girlfriend's dream (once) and interact with her to a certain extent in the dream!]
[Note: Romance skill cards are divided into five levels: white, blue, purple, gold, and rainbow. The higher the skill card level, the stronger the ability. Most skill cards are one-time use skills.]
[Note: The level of the skill cards obtained is based on probability; the higher the level, the lower the probability of obtaining them.]
Lu Ran's restless heart finally found a target to divert his attention.
Goodness, it can even enter dreams? That's almost like a superpower!
And this is only the white level; I can't even imagine how incredible the levels beyond are.
The movie has ended.
The two walked side by side down the street, not saying much. Cheng Ning held Lu Ran's arm, quietly enjoying their time alone together.
Now that Lu Ran has things to do and she also has to help Lu Ran manage the company, the time they spend alone together has decreased significantly compared to before.
Because everyone has to do their own thing. If she follows Lu Ran around all day, she will eventually become nothing more than a decorative vase by Lu Ran's side, empty and soulless.
Cheng Ning didn't want that.
She wanted to be Lu Ran's loving and supportive partner, and his capable assistant.
Go help Lu Ran deal with problems, and even help Lu Ran solve difficulties.
She not only needed Lu Ran to like her, but also needed Lu Ran to need her. Only then would she be qualified to be the only one by Lu Ran's side.
"I heard from Hu Wen that you fired some employees a few days ago? And even sent some of them to jail."
Cheng Ning looked up: "Those guys have a strong gangster vibe. They often bully people in the factory, ignore factory rules and wander around, and harass female employees on other production lines."
"I have handed them over to the police and hired lawyers to prosecute them according to the law."
"If we allow this kind of unhealthy trend from more than a decade ago to grow, it will cause problems sooner or later, so we must solve it first, instead of trying to fix it after something goes wrong."
Cheng Ning spoke these words without stuttering, and even had the air of a domineering female CEO.
But when she finally asked Lu Ran, she instantly transformed into a delicate young girl.
"You won't blame me, will you? Many employees have complained to me, I can't just ignore it."
Lu Ran laughed and said, "Since I'm putting you in charge, then naturally you have the final say. Why would I blame you?"
"I was worried that you were too gentle and wouldn't be able to handle the situation, but I didn't expect you to be so decisive on such matters of principle. That's excellent."
