Senior Sister, Shut Up!

There wasn’t much to say about dinner.

It was about the same as lunch.

However, Jiang Miao couldn’t shake off a creeping feeling of unease. He didn’t know if it was his imagination, but he felt that Senior Sister Shen Yu and Senior Zhang Panfeng were observing him.

While grilling meat, Shen Yu would occasionally glance at Jiang Miao when she used a pair of tongs to flip the meat on the grill over.

It was as though she was trying to confirm something.

Could they have found out I held hands with Senior Sister? Jiang Miao’s heart skipped a beat.

He even reduced the number of times he secretly held Senior Sister’s hand under the table.

On the other hand, Su Huaizhou didn’t notice anything unusual. Her attention was entirely on Jiang Miao.

Seeing that he was unwilling to hold her hand again, she felt a little ashamed and annoyed. She bit a piece of grilled meat hard with her small mouth, and her right hand, now free from her chopsticks, reached out to grab his hand.

So exciting. Jiang Miao only felt his eyelids twitching, feeling as though he had been caught having an affair.

[I Am Studying]: I don’t feel anything. I still don’t dare to hold hands.

[I Love Studying]: I think we’re being too deliberate. We’re trying too hard to distract ourselves by peeping at them holding hands, but it’s instead making us focus on it even more.

[I Am Studying] So what should we do?

[I Love Studying]: It’s best to forget the goal of holding hands for now and put all our gossiping thoughts on Sister Zhou and Jiang Miao.

[I Am Studying]: Well… I have a little idea~

[I Love Studying]: What’s your idea, Wifey?

[I Am Studying]: Just watch me.

…

After dinner, it was already six in the evening.

The four of them tidied up their belongings and went to the theater on the sixth floor to pick up their tickets.

Buying the tickets had been Shen Yu’s responsibility. She had already reserved them in advance and handed over two tickets for Su Huaizhou and Jiang Miao.

Jiang Miao took a ticket, looked down, and saw the shining words ‘Couple Seats’ in the middle of the ticket.

Jiang Miao was stunned. “???”

Su Huaizhou obviously noticed it and immediately took out her phone to ask on WeChat.

Although she was also quite interested in sitting in couple seats with Jiang Miao, it was a bit strange that Shen Yu gave them these tickets.

[Zhouzhou Loves Congee]: What’s going on? Why are Junior Brother and I also sitting in couple seats?

[I Am Studying]: They’re cheaper.

[Zhouzhou Loves Congee]: Aren’t couple seats more expensive?

[I Am Learning]: Island Keeper is premiering today, but there’s no one else watching this showing except us.

[I Am Studying]: I checked during dinner, and the couple seats were on sale, so I refunded the tickets and bought new ones.

[Zhouzhou Loves Congee]: But Jiang Miao and I aren’t a couple…

[I Am Studying]: It doesn’t matter. Anyway, no one will know. Since we can save money, why not?

[Zhouzhou Loves Congee]: Fine… But don’t do it again.

Su Huaizhou ‘reluctantly’ forgave Shen Yu and quietly explained the situation to Jiang Miao.

“… This actually works out well. It can give you some material.” Su Huaizhou covered her mouth and smiled. “But it seems a little late. You already wrote about couple seats in the first chapter.”

At this point, Su Huaizhou paused and asked doubtfully, “Junior Brother, when I read your first chapter, I saw you seemed to know a lot about couple seats. You haven’t gone with a girl before, have you?”

Hearing her doubts, Jiang Miao looked a bit unwilling to say anything. “… Senior Sister, let’s not mention that, okay?”

“Hmm? So, is there really something?” Su Huaizhou playfully reached out to Jiang Miao’s waist and pinched him gently, her tone carrying a hint of jealousy.

“What could there possibly be…” Jiang Miao sighed helplessly. After hesitating for a moment, he whispered, “Before I started writing the book, I checked out couple seats in person.”

“Checked out?” Su Huaizhou was stunned. “With who?”

Jiang Miao was silent for a moment. “… Myself.”

“Pfft…” Su Huaizhou couldn’t hold back. She covered her mouth and giggled.

“Don’t laugh!” Jiang Miao was a bit annoyed. “You made me say it.”

“You can’t blame me. I’m helping you gather material,” Su Huaizhou said righteously. “I was just helping you experience what it feels like when your girlfriend is jealous.

“How is it? Did it feel real? Wasn’t my acting great?”

Jiang Miao forced a smile.

He wasn’t sure about Senior Sister’s acting, but he knew that his dignity was gone.

Going to the movies alone was already lonely enough.

And what was even lonelier was watching a movie in couple seats… by yourself.

But the loneliest part? While sitting alone in the couple seats, Jiang Miao had to imagine a nonexistent girlfriend as much as possible to simulate how the scene would unfold.

Although the first two chapters of his novel only had a mere 5,000 words, his sacrifice was immense!

“Alright, I’ll stop teasing you.” Su Huaizhou looked at Shen Yu and Zhang Panfeng buying drinks and popcorn at the counter. She stood on her tiptoes and gently patted Jiang Miao on the head to comfort him. “Seeing how pitiful you are, Senior Sister will sit with you in couple seats today.”

“… Senior Sister, I’m not a child.”

“Haha~ But just imagining you sitting alone in couple seats for material, it’s so cute~”

“… Can we stop talking about this, please??”

“Got it.” Su Huaizhou giggled. Seeing that the two people in front finished buying, she reined in her expression and turned to ask, “Junior Brother, what do you want to drink?”

“Anything’s fine.”

“Then we’ll have a couple’s combo, please,” Su Huaizhou said to the cashier.

The moment the word ‘couple’ came out, Jiang Miao’s heart skipped a beat, and a strange emotion welled up in his heart.

Although it was only the name of the combo, this was the first time Senior Sister had announced their relationship in front of others.

Even though it was just pretend, his heart was still racing, and his palms grew sweaty.

Jiang Miao took the cola and popcorn from Su Huaizhou and followed her to the ticket checkpoint.

After getting their tickets checked, they walked into Theater 5. There was still ten minutes before 6:30 showtime, and apart from the four of them and the staff, the theater was empty.

“Senior Sister, is no one watching this movie?” Jiang Miao asked curiously as he looked down at the movie ticket for Island Keeper.

“It’s the premiere. There’s no publicity and no celebrities. What do you think?”

“Oh.” Jiang Miao nodded. “Guess there’s something to look forward to then.”

Su Huaizhou covered her mouth and giggled. “Seems so.”

The couple seats in Theater 5 were in the last two rows, with each row having four sets of couple seats.

The couple seats they bought were for the last row.

Shen Yu and Zhang Panfeng took the innermost seats, while Su Huaizhou and Jiang Miao were by the aisle, with two sets of empty couple seats between them.

Since the couple seats had tall sides, once they sat down, neither pair could see the other.

It was very private.

Jiang Miao looked at the arrangement of the couple seats and then at Senior Sister beside him, whose exquisite features glowed softly under the warm light. Before he even sat down, his heart was already rippling with excitement.

Before the movie started, Jiang Miao was already feeling nervous.

[It’s my first time sitting in couple seats with a girl. Anything I need to pay attention to?]

[Waiting online, urgent!]
