Chapter 267: In the cinema (Please subscribe, please monthly ticket)

The lights in the cinema hall went completely dark, with only the big screen emitting a ghostly blue light.

The opening of "The Conjuring" carried a dullness of a documentary, Lin Xiuyuan and Lin Xiaolu sat side by side in the center of the best viewing area, and at this time, they were taking advantage of the plot not yet entering the theme, sticking together and chatting in a low voice.

"The tour schedule recently is too full, I feel like my feet haven't touched the ground." Lin Xiaolu picked up a popcorn and complained in a low voice.

"You've taken quite a few commercial activities and image endorsements, although I don't watch the news much, occasionally turning on the TV, the reports are almost becoming your 'walking GG brand'." Lin Xiuyuan responded with a smile, his arm naturally resting on the back of the chair behind her, forming a semi-hugging posture.

"It's okay, mainly group activities."

Lin Xiaolu said, her tone suddenly carrying a hint of expectation for the future, pursing her lips and smiling. "Anyway, my personal activities have started to decrease, 'The Heirs' will officially start filming next month, and the script reading meeting has been held several times, I feel a bit of pressure."

She had indeed been gradually adjusting her work focus recently, accumulating strength for the upcoming TV series filming.

And some promotional photos and character settings for this drama had also started to warm up and be announced, and had attracted no small attention.

After all, one was the center of Girls' Generation, and the other was a male star who was still considered a top traffic.

Especially after Kim Soo-hyun fell, his popularity was even higher, it could only be said that Lin Xiuyuan helped him from the side.

However... among those who fell into the well and stepped on Kim Soo-hyun back then, there was also the other party's shadow.

So when Lin Xiuyuan finished listening, he also nodded and asked another question. "Hmm, by the way, YoonA, have you watched 'Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-joo' by Xiujing and Zhenli?"

"Of course I'm paying attention!"

Mentioning this, Lin Xiaolu's eyes brightened, although the lower half of her face was covered by a mask, Lin Xiuyuan could still vaguely imagine the smile from the other party's tone and eyes.

"Although it changed the heroine compared to that side, the results after airing were unexpectedly good. I remember your side's highest ratings didn't seem to break 10%, but Xiujing and the others' version, I heard the latest episode has rushed to 12%, and the online discussion is also super high, the word-of-mouth is great."

There was no envy or jealousy in her tone, only the joy of feeling happy for these two sisters.

The two chatted in a low voice about work, partners, and future plans, while watching the big screen in front of them, the atmosphere was relaxed and happy.

However, as the movie plot progressed, the background music gradually became gloomy and eerie, and the lens language also began to slowly create an uneasy atmosphere.

So Lin Xiaolu's body, which was still relaxed, now began to tense up subconsciously, and her voice became smaller and smaller, and the whole person leaned closer to Lin Xiuyuan, almost stuffing herself into the other party's arms.

Until when the door of the old wardrobe on the screen suddenly popped open without warning, and a pale and distorted shadow suddenly flashed by with a harsh sound effect...

"Ah ah ah——!!!"

Lin Xiaolu, who had already been scared like a frightened bird by the previous atmosphere, almost exploded with a scream with extremely strong penetrating power at that moment.

After that, the whole person curled up into a ball, regardless of anything, and plunged into Lin Xiuyuan's arms on the side.

That small head died and buried in his chest, her hands tightly grabbing his lapels, and she was still shouting unconsciously, "Yah! Scared me to death! What is it!!"

If there were other audiences in the cinema hall at this moment, with her idol baggage and that bit of self-esteem, she would probably only scream shortly.

Then immediately cover her mouth tightly, close her eyes tightly and throw herself into Lin Xiuyuan's arms.

Then pretend to be calm, and would never be so unseemly.

But that's all nonsense, because there was no one here at the moment.

So Lin Xiaolu could release her fear triggered by the horror plot to her heart's content, without any burden, and expose her most real reaction in front of Lin Xiuyuan.

And Lin Xiuyuan, who was tightly grabbed, was also startled by her excessive reaction.

But soon he was amused by her scream and laughed out loud, wrapping his arms around her slightly trembling shoulders, and patting her to soothe. "Okay, okay, it's gone, it's gone. That shot has already cut over, it's just a wardrobe, it's not very scary."

Hearing this, Lin Xiaolu finally raised her head a little from his arms, still frightened.

After glancing at the picture on the big screen, her flushed cheeks finally let out a sigh of relief, but she didn't forget to beat someone angrily. "Lin Xiuyuan, you bastard, I said who watches horror movies on a date!! Scared to death!"

"Isn't this quite good." Lin Xiuyuan looked down at her eyes shining with water and the expression like a frightened little deer, laughing even more happily. "You can also have a legitimate reason to hug."

"Humph!"

After Lin Xiaolu glared at him angrily, she immediately leaned into his ear and lowered her voice, carrying a hint of reproach and shyness, gnashing her teeth. "Eaten and wiped clean... do you still lack this bit of hugging? Bastard guy..."

Lin Xiuyuan, who discovered his little thoughts were exposed, was not embarrassed, but laughed even more happily, saying righteously. "Hehehehe, YoonA, that's different, the feeling is different."

"Bastard~ bastard~ that place just now really scared me to death."

Lin Xiuyuan, who continued to be scolded by Lin Xiaolu, was not angry, but the corners of his mouth hooked into a mischievous smile.

His gaze subconsciously scanned this empty and dim cinema hall quickly, and after confirming again that there was indeed no one...

That right hand that was tightly hugging Lin Xiaolu suddenly flashed to somewhere silently.

Then, under the cover of that light gray plaid loose jacket coat, it accurately and quickly probed under the hem of her dark short skirt, and the warm palm covered the base of her soft and smooth thigh...

"Yah！！!"

This sudden attack, carrying a cool touch and undeniable force, made Lin Xiaolu's whole body stiffen suddenly.

Like an electric shock, goosebumps instantly spread from the place touched to the whole body.

Before going out today, because she thought of a date with someone, she chose a very clean and neat outfit.

The casual layering of the loose jacket and white shirt inside, and the neat dark short skirt and black short boots on the lower body, while showing urban capability and fashion sense...

It also indeed provided great convenience for someone's "bad things."

However, after being "harassed" by Lin Xiuyuan, Lin Xiaolu also subconsciously clamped her legs, trying to block the big hand that was doing evil.

At the same time, her ear roots were even more red, and she scolded Lin Xiuyuan in a low voice, both shy and anxious. "Lin Xiuyuan, you, what are you doing, we are still in the cinema."

The man who was named scraped across the thin layer of lace fabric with his fingertips, the tactile sensation was delicate and strange, making his eyes freeze slightly.

Then he laughed in a low voice. "Cinema is good, if it weren't for the cinema, it wouldn't be so exciting."

These words were like adding fuel to the fire, making Lin Xiaolu, who had nowhere to hide, even hotter on her cheeks, and even her neck was flushed as if dyed with paint.

The 2013 version of her was ultimately that young idol girl in her early twenties with extremely thin skin, far from the mature imperial sister who could face all teasing and provocation without changing her face ten years later.

So she scolded Lin Xiuyuan in a low voice with a trembling voice, both anxious and shy. "Have... there is monitoring, stop making trouble, okay, I'll give it to you properly when I go back, let's go back in a while, okay."

After saying this, the whole person was completely limp in his arms, reaching out to push away his right hand that was making trouble.

However, just as her fingertips touched Lin Xiuyuan's wrist, the other party leaned into her ear and said quickly in a breathy voice.

"Don't move, the infrared night vision monitor is right diagonally above our heads. Now your coat is just blocking us. If you move, the skirt hem will be lifted, and it will all be filmed."

This sentence in her ear was like a immobilization spell, making Lin Xiaolu, who just wanted to move, freeze instantly, and dared not have any big movements anymore.

Causing her to only be able to scold "bastard" and "bastard" in a low voice in anger.

A few minutes later, the movie screen erupted with another sudden horror sound effect and picture.

At the same time, Lin Xiuyuan's right hand stopped appropriately, using his left hand to gently stroke her soft hair, his tone carrying laughter. "It's okay, it's okay, it's just a movie, it's all fake, what are you afraid of."

However, Lin Xiaolu, who no longer looked at the screen and buried her face deeply in his shoulder.

Raised her head suddenly, and glared at the other party fiercely with those water-shining deer eyes.

Her eyes were full of shame and accusation. "Lin Xiuyuan, that bastard, are you sure I'm afraid of the movie?!"

Lin Xiuyuan, who was pleased by her shy and angry appearance, laughed low, and leaned closer to her ear again.

The hot breath sprayed on her sensitive earlobe and neck, carrying undisguised teasing. "But then again, what's wrong with you? Why isn't it pure cotton sports style today? Did someone open a small difference with you? Or did you say some secret words? Or did you awaken yourself and have a new preference?"

"Boom..."

This sentence accurately poked the most shy and difficult-to-speak corner of Lin Xiaolu's heart.

Under the mask, her whole face was like fire, hot and scary.

So the ashamed and angry Lin Xiaolu used all the remaining strength in her whole body to pinch Lin Xiuyuan's arm tightly, if it weren't for her whole body being soft, she really wanted to give him a hard bite.

Then her voice trembled, carrying the panic of covering up. "Don't say it anymore, what pure cotton... what lace... I, I don't know!"

But Lin Xiuyuan seemed not to hear her denial, still commenting on his own, his tone carrying a teasing aftertaste.

"Actually, pure cotton sports styles are quite nice, especially those kinds that wrap tightly, making the lines stand out... That little perky butt looks even more flavorful than lace ones, and it even shows more vitality."

Lin Xiaolu, who was originally ashamed and trembling slightly because of the previous dialogues and someone's movements.

But after hearing this sentence, she raised her head suddenly, the angry fire and deep resentment burning in her water-mist-filled beautiful eyes, almost squeezing the sound from her teeth. "Lin Xiuyuan, who are you talking about?! Okay, you're playing with me, but thinking about other women in your heart?! Scumbag! Bastard!"

She thought Lin Xiuyuan was comparing her with others, so the jealousy and grievance instantly drowned the shyness just now.

However, the next second.

Lin Xiuyuan, who was scolded by her, leaned closer to her, almost containing that hot earlobe, and spat out words that made her whole body shake, shaking more violently than any time before.

"I'm talking about you in 2025. YoonA~ it seems that you have exchanged outfits tacitly? She changed back to pure cotton, and you... secretly changed into lace."

"..."

This answer made Lin Xiaolu freeze completely, her brain blank.

All struggles, shame, and jealousy solidified at this moment.

An indescribable sense of shame across time and space and a strange linkage feeling rushed through her limbs and bones.

The underwear chosen because of some subtle connection, at this moment, was so clearly perceived and teased by this man who knew everything.

That feeling was far more than simple intimate contact, making her lose her composure and be at a loss.

So the later Lin Xiaolu could only bury her hot cheeks deeper into Lin Xiuyuan's neck, making a helpless, subtle whimpering sound like a young beast.

At this time, she completely gave up resistance.

Letting that evil hand and teasing words drag her into this vortex mixed with horror sound effects and extreme ambiguity.

And when Lin Xiuyuan and Lin Xiaolu were doing some small movements that were not enough for outsiders to know under the cover of horror movie sound effects in the dark corner of the cinema.

In another high-end apartment in Seoul, Sulli woke up leisurely.

The dull pain brought by the hangover tapped her temples lightly like a tide, making her frown her delicate eyebrows subconsciously.

So after opening her eyes, she rubbed her eyes and looked around.

The familiar yet strange decoration made her realize that she didn't return to her own residence last night, nor did she go to Xiujing's side, but stayed at Goo Hara's apartment for a night.

Then the memory gradually returned, the two seemed to have endless words last night, opened a few bottles of wine, and sat on the sofa chatting until late at night.

Thinking of this, Sulli lifted the quilt, stepped on the soft carpet barefoot, pushed open the bedroom door and walked out.

In the living room, Goo Hara woke up much earlier than her, and was busy in the open kitchen at this time, the air filled with the aroma of toast and coffee.

"Unnie, morning."

Sulli, who walked out, carried the lazy nasal sound of just waking up, walked over and hugged Goo Hara's waist gently from behind, and rested her chin on her shoulder.

If you didn't know, you would think the two were in some unspeakable intimate relationship.

However, Goo Hara turned her head very naturally, rubbed her hair with her cheek, and smiled gently. "Awake? Does your head still hurt? Go wash up, breakfast will be ready soon."

Sulli let go as told and walked obediently to the bathroom.

When she returned to the restaurant refreshed, a simple Western-style breakfast had been placed on the table: toast baked just right, tender scrambled eggs, and two cups of steaming coffee.

Then the two sat opposite each other and began to enjoy this breakfast of love.

Sunlight spilled in through the window, illuminating the fine dust in the air, the atmosphere quiet and warm.

After eating for a while, Goo Hara lightly spread butter with a dinner knife, as if mentioning it casually, and asked Sulli softly. "Zhenli, did someone send you a message last night asking why you didn't go back?"

Who this "someone" referred to, the two basically knew in their hearts.

So Sulli's hand holding the coffee cup paused slightly, and she looked up at Goo Hara.

Seeing the lowered eyelashes of the other party, and that seemingly casual but actually carrying a hint of undetectable concern, she immediately put down the cup, suddenly curved her smiling eyes, the smile carrying a hint of teasing. "Unnie,"

The voice was very light, but very clear.

"How about I make an appointment for Oppa to come out, and you two meet again, isn't it better to ask him yourself."

The hand spreading butter stopped suddenly.

Goo Hara, who was silent for a few seconds, seemed to have quickly flipped through the news she heard yesterday and the thoughts of the whole night in this short time.

Then she looked up, met Sulli's smiling gaze, and nodded decisively. "Okay, let's meet again."

Sulli looked at the light that lit up again in her friend's eyes, and the smile on her face became even brighter.

Then she picked up a piece of toast and took a happy bite, as if she had solved a big matter in her heart.

The atmosphere of breakfast also seemed to become more relaxed and bright because of this decisive decision.

And those threads of fate that were about to intersect again...
