It's about a ten-minute walk, the timing is just right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Naturally, neither of them had any objections.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Thus, the three of them walked toward the cinema together.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The cinema was located on the eighth floor of a comprehensive commercial building.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After the elevator doors opened, the spacious lobby was full of audience members waiting to enter.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Wow, there are so many people here to see *Zootopia 2* today.\" Natsume Ruri exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"After all, the reputation of the first one was too good.\" Fujiwara Aoi smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Mm-hmm, I've been looking forward to the sequel for a long time!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Me too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The two girls chatted happily, the atmosphere harmonious.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xia Xia Xia Mujun checked the time: \"It's almost showtime, I'll go buy some drinks and popcorn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Okay!\" the two said in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After buying snacks and drinks, the staff began checking tickets for entry.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The three of them walked into the cinema hall with the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Just a short distance behind them, Yukimura Suzune, who had just arrived at the cinema, caught a glimpse of a back that looked exactly like Xia Xia Xia Mujun's.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>She frowned slightly, thinking she must have seen wrong, and didn't dwell on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Having come alone, she saw that the audience had already started entering, so she quickly bought popcorn and a drink and walked into the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Soon, the lights dimmed and the screen lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Whether it was Yukimura Suzune sitting alone not far away, or Fujiwara Aoi and Natsume Ruri sitting right next to Xia Xia Xia Mujun, they were all immersed in the world of the movie.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xia Xia Xia Mujun looked at the opening scene, but his thoughts drifted for a moment—didn't Konoe Hitomi say Midou Orihime would come today?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It had been calm so far, so it seemed it was just talk?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Or did she simply forget?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Either way.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>On a rare day off, he didn't want any complications.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It was best if nothing happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The movie ended, and the atmosphere was enthusiastic.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Although Xia Xia Xia Mujun hadn't seen the previous installment, he still felt the story was wonderful and well-produced; no wonder his sister and Fujiwara Aoi were so expectant.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Fujiwara Aoi was excitedly discussing the plot with Natsume Ruri.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Nick and Judy are really a perfect match, I love this CP so much!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Mm-hmm, Ruri thinks so too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>While chatting happily, Fujiwara Aoi suddenly froze, secretly annoyed: Oh no! I was so focused on the movie, I forgot to take the opportunity to get closer to Xia Xia Xia Mujun!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But fortunately, it was just six o'clock, the dinner hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If she found a reason later to ask the siblings to eat together, it should work, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But before that, she had to go to the restroom; she had been holding it for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Um, I'm going to the restroom, please wait for me for a moment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Fujiwara-nee-san, come back quickly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Fujiwara Aoi left in a hurry.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Natsume Ruri pulled her brother along to linger in the official merchandise store next to the cinema.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It was packed with audience members who had just left the movie, all excitedly picking out products.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Just then, Xia Xia Xia Mujun noticed a familiar figure—Yukimura Suzune.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>She was being blocked in front of a shelf by a frivolous man wearing a flashy shirt with his hair slicked back.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Miss, watching a movie alone? How boring, why not go for a drive with me? I know a great place...\" the man leaned in with a cheeky grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yukimura Suzune frowned slightly, her cold gaze sweeping over him. She didn't get angry immediately, just calmly took half a step back to open up a clear social distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"How about it?\" The man was relentless, leaning in again.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"No, I'm not interested. Could you please move aside?\" Her voice was cold, already carrying a hint of impatience.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Don't be so cold. I've reserved a restaurant that's very hard to book. Give me some face and have a meal together? It's a pity for a beautiful lady like you to be alone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The man smiled confidently, as if he were very confident in his own looks.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yukimura Suzune stopped retreating.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>She looked up, her eyes as clear as ice and snow staring straight at him. There was no expression on her face, yet she exuded an invisible pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>She spoke softly, her voice not high, but every word was clear, carrying a calm, dissecting, and precise sarcasm:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"First, your pickup line is as stale as a half-price bento left over at a convenience store last week, completely unoriginal and leaving one with no appetite.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Second, when did the definition and criteria for whether I am alone or whether it is a 'pity' fall to a third party who needs to entangle strangers to gain a sense of existence and cannot even follow basic clothing etiquette?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Finally, if your confidence were a type of energy, it should have been listed as a non-renewable resource and protected long ago—after all, it looks so scarce, yet is consumed so worthlessly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Now, can you please move aside? Your very existence is already blocking me from breathing fresh air!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>She paused, her gaze cutting across his instantly stiff face like an ice blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The man opened his mouth, somewhat angry, seemingly wanting to retort.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But after seeing the gaze of the person behind Yukimura Suzune, his face froze, and all his words were stuck in his throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Suppressed laughter could be heard around them.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Her boyfriend is right behind her, and he still dares to hit on her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Haha, serves him right for being scolded.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"If I were this woman, I'd definitely choose my boyfriend too; there's no comparison.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>His face turned red and then white, and in the end, he could only sneakily squeeze out of the crowd and disappear.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yukimura Suzune seemed to have just brushed off a speck of dust, her expression unchanged. She turned and continued browsing the products on the shelf, as if that one-sided \"poisonous tongue crushing\" had never happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And just at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>She noticed with astonishment that Xia Xia Xia Mujun had been standing beside her for who knows how long.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Xia Xia Xia Mujun, you... why are you here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I was about to ask you the same thing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1329,"2026-06-15T07:08:26.586Z","2026-06-17T08:41:32.805Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","a2e3a9a8517ef0f79deeb1b4a6d221f7d73be74b46c595225a151efb6a046f95","tokyo-you-call-this-normal-equipment-chapter-122","tokyo-you-call-this-normal-equipment-chapter-120",624,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftokyo-you-call-this-normal-equipment-cover.jpg"]
