Chapter 976: Unexpected Situation, Intimate Embrace

Cai Xiaotang was startled by these words, her gaze sweeping toward the corner of the wall without a trace.

As expected.

The two people who had just been preparing to separate stopped as if frightened by Li Xiao's sudden movement.

Cai Xiaotang nearly failed to hold back the laughter that had reached her lips.

It seems they still have a little sense of shame...

If you're afraid of being discovered by others, then don't do this kind of thing!!!

While thinking this, she watched the show happily, and only after a while did she remember that she was still leaning in Li Xiao's arms.

Her body stiffened abruptly, and Cai Xiaotang immediately moved to get up.

But no sooner had she moved than someone pressed her head back down.

"I told you not to move, don't you want to watch the show anymore?" Li Xiao's deliberately lowered voice rang out again, carrying a hint of undisguised amusement.

Cai Xiaotang paused slightly, suddenly realizing something.

This guy... could he be using the excuse of watching the show to intentionally...

This thought made her heartbeat accelerate uncontrollably, and the tip of her heart felt a little itchy.

Ahem... if it's for the sake of watching the show, it seems staying for a while isn't... impossible?

Cai Xiaotang found a "suitable" reason for herself in her heart, and finally whispered in agreement: "Alright then..."

As she spoke, she saw from the corner of her eye that the two people in the corner seemed to be moving again.

It seemed they had discovered that she and Li Xiao had quieted down, so they intended to separate once more.

The next second—Li Xiao suddenly took hold of Cai Xiaotang's hand!

Then he adjusted his posture while holding her and lightly kissed the back of her hand!

"You..."

Every hair on Cai Xiaotang's body stood on end!

A strange tingling sensation instantly spread from the back of her hand to her entire arm!

"Shh..."

Li Xiao signaled for her not to make a sound, his gaze sweeping toward the two people beside them, as if there or not.

Sure enough, as soon as there was any movement on their side, those two immediately stopped, feeling guilty.

Cai Xiaotang, however, had not yet recovered.

Li Xiao did that on purpose!

It was definitely on purpose!

Under the guise of watching a joke, he was taking advantage of her like crazy!

But she... didn't hate it.

Cai Xiaotang found excuses for herself in her heart, and then heard—"Look, they've stopped moving again..."

Li Xiao whispered to Cai Xiaotang with a smile.

Cai Xiaotang's heartbeat skipped a beat again, but she still followed Li Xiao's words and took a quick glance, then couldn't help but start snickering in her heart.

Just like that, whenever that pair of man and woman made any move.

Li Xiao would suddenly cough, adjust his posture while holding Cai Xiaotang, or simply look toward the side.

In short, until the end, those two remained awkwardly sitting together, unable to separate.

An hour and a half later, the movie ended.

The lights in the screening hall clicked on!

The few couples sitting in front stood up one after another to leave.

But Cai Xiaotang and Li Xiao remained in their original seats.

In the corner—that couple who had been "stuck" together already looked full of embarrassment.

Yet they could only pretend as if nothing had happened, pretending to talk in low voices while sweeping glances at Li Xiao and Cai Xiaotang from the corners of their eyes.

Hoping in their hearts that they would leave quickly.

It was a pity, though—"Baby, what did you think of today's movie?"

Not only did Li Xiao not stand up, but he began to chat with Cai Xiaotang in a doting tone, looking very much like he wanted to have a thorough discussion about it.

Cai Xiaotang knew what he wanted to do, but she was still distracted for a moment by this sudden term of endearment, and pink bubbles couldn't stop rising in her heart.

Forcibly suppressing the smile that rushed to her lips, she paused for two seconds before cooperating and saying: "Hmm... I think it was alright..."

She answered perfunctorily, but in reality, she hadn't remembered what the movie was about at all.

Sure enough, hearing that the two were really chatting, the people next to them seemed even less able to sit still.

Seeing that the woman had already started twisting the man's arm in frustration, Cai Xiaotang nearly suffered internal injuries from holding back her laughter.

Having watched enough of the show, she planned to get up and leave.

"Let's go, time to head back."

Cai Xiaotang patted Li Xiao's shoulder in a good mood and stood up.

Deliberately glancing at the half-bucket of popcorn left at her side, she suddenly had an idea, and turned to walk toward the exit with Li Xiao.

Then, having only walked two steps, she heard a rustling sound behind her; it seemed those two had finally found an opportunity to tidy their clothes.

A dark glint flashed in the depths of Cai Xiaotang's eyes, and she suddenly paused her steps.

"Oh! I didn't take my popcorn!"

As she said this, she turned around abruptly!

Immediately after, she heard a "thud" sound!

The two people by the wall who hadn't finished adjusting their clothes were truly startled!

The woman lost her footing and actually sat straight down on the floor!

The man was also frantically pulling up his trousers, his face full of panic.

Cai Xiaotang gave a soft huff in her heart, stepped forward unhurriedly, picked up the popcorn bucket, and swept a cold glance at the two of them.

"Since you have the guts to seek thrills in a public place, don't be afraid of being seen."

She tossed out this sentence indifferently and turned around with a flourish.

Li Xiao had not expected her to pull such a "surprise counterattack," and he had already burst into laughter, immediately receiving a smug look from Cai Xiaotang, her eyes clearly spelling out the words, "I was so cool just now."

Without paying any more attention to the people behind them, the two walked out together.

As soon as they reached the Main Hall, Cai Xiaotang finally laughed out loud, regardless of anything else.

"Hahahaha! Did you see the look on those two people's faces just now? That man's face turned green!"

Cai Xiaotang laughed until tears ran out; she felt incredibly satisfied.

"Even I was startled by you, let alone that person."

Li Xiao found the scene from just now quite funny as well, and as he spoke, he subconsciously reached out to hold her hand as he usually did.

The moment they touched, both of them were taken aback.

They were out now.

It seemed... they didn't need to stick together anymore.

"Ahem..."

Cai Xiaotang gave a light cough, pretended to fiddle with her hair, and took the opportunity to withdraw the hand that Li Xiao had touched.

Then, acting as if nothing had happened, she said, "Let's go, let's take the elevator; I'm a bit tired."

As she spoke, she hurried toward the elevator lobby, her previous happy mood replaced by melancholy.

There was no one in the elevator lobby.

It seemed everyone who had come out earlier had already left.

The two of them entered the elevator together.

The atmosphere seemed somewhat inexplicably stiff because of what had just happened.

Cai Xiaotang took a deep breath, wanting to cheer up, and hurriedly tried to make conversation: "Um... have you decided what we're doing tomorrow?"

"Mm."

Li Xiao nodded, just about to answer.

But at that very moment—the elevator suddenly gave a slight jolt!

The light at the top began to flicker wildly, then suddenly went out!

!!

Before Cai Xiaotang could react, she felt herself suddenly fall into a warm embrace, was pulled directly into the corner of the elevator, and her back was firmly pressed against the wall!
