Chapter 241: Chapter 241: Just Happened to Encounter
He hadn’t expected that the two women would be so quick to suggest getting together whenever they were free in the coming days.
This indeed made Liu Zheng seem very awkward in front of them, completely at a loss for how to respond to their conversation.
But soon.
Both parties finally left.
Fortunately, they didn’t continue to say anything more, otherwise, he wouldn’t know how to smoothly handle the situation.
Soon after, he went to the movie theater with Liu Jiaxin.
Honestly, he felt extremely anxious on the way there, not knowing how to face Li Yanling in the future.
But he made sure not to show it in front of Jia Xin.
Otherwise, if she discovered his anxiety, she would definitely sense something was off. Women’s intuition is said to be powerful, after all. He had to hide it somewhat to avoid detection.
They quickly made their way to the movie theater.
Since it was a workday, there were hardly any people around.
They had only bought two tickets, but when they entered the theater, they found that they were the only two people in the entire hall.
"It seems like everyone is busy, with no time for movies."
Jia Xin said with a smile.
Liu Zheng immediately nodded and bought some popcorn and drinks.
At first, he was worried that Jia Xin might overthink the situation.
But seeing that she didn’t bring up anything out of the ordinary, he began to feel somewhat relieved, suspecting he might be overthinking.
Nevertheless, he had to face up to everything properly.
If one day their true identities were to be revealed, how would he explain himself?
Moreover, in a place this small, secrets can’t be kept forever.
He might not have considered these matters before, but their sudden encounter made him aware that something was amiss.
So, during the movie, his mind wasn’t fully present as he pondered this issue, afraid of making any missteps.
But thankfully, the darkness of the cinema meant Jia Xin didn’t really notice Liu Zheng’s distracted look.
As it turned out, a horror film was scheduled.
So that was indeed what they were watching.
At the climax of the movie, the woman in front suddenly clutched Liu Zheng’s arm tightly out of fear.
"Ah! This is just too scary! And there are only the two of us here, it feels even more terrifying."
Upon hearing this, Liu Zheng finally snapped out of his thoughts.
He immediately reached up to stroke her head and comforted her, saying.
"There’s nothing to worry about, I’m here, aren’t I?"
After hearing this, the woman gently nodded her head.
Then she continued.
"I’m glad you’re here with me. I don’t dare to watch these kinds of horror films alone."
"But I have to say, the plot is really good. It’s quite interesting to watch, it’s just that the high-energy scene came on so suddenly."
She said this in a coquettish manner.
Liu Zheng also gently rubbed her head, comforting her.
"Alright, I see, don’t worry, I’m here."
This little interlude had pulled Liu Zheng back from his train of thought.
Later, upon reflection, he felt like he had indeed been worrying too much.
Jia Xin hadn’t shown any particular concern about the situation, and she hadn’t brought anything up, either. If he worried too much, it could interfere with his judgement when interacting with her in the future.
So, rather than worry needlessly, why not seize the moment and the mood to enjoy the movie with her?
Before long, he took her hand firmly into his.
"It feels a bit cold today, let me warm your hand."
The moment she felt his hand wrap around hers, a warmth surged through Jia Xin’s heart.
Since that person left, she had never really dated properly, nor had she truly connected with a man. Now, with this new experience, she found it utterly incredible.
Perhaps it was because she hadn’t felt something like this in so long.
At this moment, her heart couldn’t help but pound vehemently.
Even though she and Liu Zheng had already been intimate.
Yet for some reason, facing the current scene, she still sensed the signs of her heart fluttering.
Throughout the movie, Liu Zheng kept holding her hand, occasionally patting her shoulder or rubbing her head.
He even fed her snacks and drinks.
She truly felt that Liu Zheng was an exceptionally considerate person.
Since that person left, she had never met a man as considerate as him.
After the movie was over, Liu Zheng suggested taking her home.
Despite his strong desire to be more intimate with her just now, he felt he ought to be a bit more restrained given the recent developments.Largely because she had been upset thinking that he was deceiving her and merely playing with her feelings, he certainly did not want their relationship to progress too hastily.
If that was the case, he might as well take it slow with her. Haste wouldn’t lead to success, and Liu Zheng understood that.
A slow and steady approach was best when fishing for a big catch.
After dropping her off at her place, Liu Zheng stepped forward and hugged her tightly, gently rubbing her head and softly said in her ear.
"Alright, if you have any problems, you can come to me. I know you might really have misunderstood me during this time, but now that we’ve cleared it up, I hope you can treat me as you did before."
Upon hearing this, how could the woman in front of him not know what to do?
Honestly, after spending this period of time together, her affection for Liu Zheng had grown stronger, and she believed he was truly worthwhile.
Regardless, she hoped to make the most of this opportunity and to develop a stronger relationship with him.
"Okay, no problem, it was all a misunderstanding on my part. That’s my fault."
"Come on, it’s not your fault. It’s clearly because I was hiding something from you."
