CHAPTER 48: CHAPTER 48: IS THIS REALLY NOT A DREAM?

Chi Xingtong’s hand holding the phone trembled slightly, she wasn’t seeing things, right!

This is really Su Heng???

Gu Ningyue saw her standing still with a somewhat excited expression and couldn’t help but frown, "What’s wrong with you?"

Chi Xingtong raised her head, her eyes filled with lingering shock: "This is Su Heng’s WeChat!!!"

Gu Ningyue’s expression was calm, "That’s great!" What’s so strange about that?

Chi Xingtong’s hand trembled, "This WeChat account definitely has been left for you by Su Heng alone! Right?"

Gu Ningyue found this inexplicable, "Impossible, nothing was done that day, it’s just that my friend was asked a few questions, it has nothing to do with me! If you don’t believe it, you can watch it yourself when the show airs! I guess it was meant for my friend!"

Why would Su Heng put his WeChat number in the little gift for her? Could it have been delivered to the wrong person?

After all, the only one interviewed by the film crew that day was Shen Hanyin!

Chi Xingtong lowered her head and thought for a while, "How about I ask him?"

Gu Ningyue laughed, "If I were you, I’d ask him for a signed photo first, and then ask!"

Chi Xingtong hit her head, "Right! That’s reasonable."

What Chi Xingtong discussed with Su Heng next, Gu Ningyue had no idea.

About twenty minutes later, Chi Xingtong suddenly excitedly pulled her arm and said, "He agreed! He agreed to give me a signed photo!"

"Congratulations!" Although Gu Ningyue said this, her eyes were on the big screen watching the latest released movies, "Which one do you want to see?"

Chi Xingtong, focused on her phone, her smile almost enchanted, "Anything’s fine, I’m good with everything!"

Gu Ningyue took out her wallet, "Two tickets for ’Midnight Horror’, please!"

After choosing two seats, Gu Ningyue pulled Chi Xingtong to the resting area.

"Can I buy you a cup of coffee?"

Reading this message on the screen made Chi Xingtong feel electrified in her heart.

Your favorite celebrity inviting you for coffee, is this really not a dream?

"Su Heng asked me out, should I go?" Chi Xingtong finally lifted her head from the phone and couldn’t help but add, "I really want to go!"

This might be the closest she’s ever been to her favorite star in her lifetime.

Even though she didn’t know for whom Su Heng actually left the WeChat number, she knew it definitely wasn’t for her.

If she just goes like this, would Su Heng be disappointed?

Gu Ningyue was playing tile-matching, casually said, "If you want to go, then go! It’s not a big deal to apologize face-to-face either."

Besides, Chi Xingtong is so beautiful, who would refuse a beauty?

Gu Ningyue’s words gave Chi Xingtong confidence, "Alright, then you come with me!"

Gu Ningyue’s hand shook, "What did you say?"

Chi Xingtong: "I’ve been abroad for so many years, I don’t have any friends in A City anymore, come with me! I’ll reimburse you for that day’s expenses, how about it?"

No matter how you put it, this kind of thing has a deceitful vibe to it. If it gets out, what of her reputation?

Gu Ningyue wanted to refuse, but after hearing the last sentence, she was suddenly a bit tempted, "I can buy whatever I want?"

Chi Xingtong nodded, "Up to a hundred thousand, you can pick whatever."

Gu Ningyue: "Alright! Deal!" So this is the world of the rich! This money is too easily made.

"Wait!" Chi Xingtong suddenly thought of something, "When the time comes, just wait for me outside! When I need rescuing, I’ll message you."

Gu Ningyue is so pretty, and they aren’t the same type at all. If Su Heng likes Gu Ningyue, wouldn’t she become a clown?

Gu Ningyue was indifferent to this, "Alright. But... in advance!"

Chi Xingtong quickly transferred fifty thousand over, "Here you go, the advance!"

"OK." Gu Ningyue laughed and said, "Just to be clear, I’ll only be there to cheer you on."

Chi Xingtong: "...Alright!"

After lowering her head and setting the time and place with Su Heng, the cinema’s ticket-checking sound went off.

It was then that Chi Xingtong realized, "What movie did you pick?"

Gu Ningyue waved the movie tickets, "’Midnight Horror’!"

Though the rating is a bit low, it’s still good for some laughs as a comedy.

Chi Xingtong’s eyes widened instantly, "I’m scared of ghosts, why did you pick a horror movie!"

Gu Ningyue appeared innocent, "I asked you, and you said anything works yourself!"

Blame it on Su Heng being too charming!

Chi Xingtong: "I won’t watch this, refund it!"

"No way!" Gu Ningyue reached out and pulled her arm, "It’s already bought, come on!"

Chi Xingtong wanted to break free but found this seemingly fragile girl somehow had strength, giving her no chance at all:"How much is this anyway! Didn’t Tianyou give you living expenses?"

"I don’t like to waste!" Gu Ningyue replied, "If you don’t accompany me to watch it, don’t think I’ll accompany you to see Su Heng either."

At this mention, Chi Xingtong immediately chickened out, obediently following her into the screening room.

Strangely, even though Gu Ningyue is two or three years younger, her way of handling things seems more mature than hers.

Could it be that she’s just too naive?

As the movie started, Chi Xingtong was already trembling.

Gu Ningyue, holding popcorn, watched with great interest, even thinking there aren’t enough scary scenes.

"You’re not afraid?" Chi Xingtong curled up in her seat and whispered.

Gu Ningyue turned, offering her the popcorn in her hand, "Want some?"

Chi Xingtong: "...No, thanks!"

Since she was young, she’s been most afraid of the dark, let alone horror movies, even comedic zombie movies terrify her.

Finally, she made it to the end of the movie, and Chi Xingtong felt like she was saved.

Gu Ningyue unlocked her phone, three missed calls, all from Ling Tianyou.

Gu Ningyue called Ling Tianyou back when she went to the restroom, "Hello? What’s up?"

Ling Tianyou asked, "Where are you?"

"Just watched a movie with your childhood friend." Gu Ningyue laughed, "But she seems a little timid, got scared and cried."

"She’s timid..." Ling Tianyou said while holding the phone, "When are you coming back?"

Gu Ningyue glanced at her phone, "Miss me?"

Ling Tianyou answered quickly, "Yeah, miss you."

It left Gu Ningyue momentarily lost for words, "...Are you done with work?"

"Not yet, but soon." Ling Tianyou sat at his desk, "I’ll come pick you up later?"

Gu Ningyue chuckled, "Better not, I might end up overwhelming Chi Xingtong."

After all, she’s already fed her enough dog food today.

An in-person encore, Chi Xingtong might just want to kill her.

"Then come back early, I’ll take you out for a stroll." Ling Tianyou said.

Gu Ningyue agreed with a yes, then hung up the phone and walked out.
