"Yaoyao, are you done?"
Xu Kai lowered his head and looked at the phone in his hand. The screen that had just lit up showed that it was 6: 27. He couldn't suppress the anxiety in his heart, so he urged her to go to the bathroom again.
His girlfriend, Ke Yao, was in the bathroom freshening up. She hadn't come out for more than half an hour.
Although he had long been used to hiding in the bathroom to dress up for a long time, he really couldn't stand it tonight, because the movie was going to start in an hour.
"Why are you in such a hurry!"
Ke Yao poked her head out of the bathroom, holding a lipstick in her hand. She said angrily, "Isn't it still very early? I haven't even finished applying my lipstick yet! "
Xu Kai pointed at the phone with a bitter smile and said, "There's only one hour left. It's night time now, and the road is very congested. If we don't leave now, I'm afraid we'll be late!"
"If we're late, then we'll be late …"
Ke Yao didn't care at all. "What's so good about this kind of fighting and killing movie? I want to watch 'Left and Right Love' that has just been released. I don't like martial arts movies."
Xu Kai raised his hands in surrender. "Alright, I'll wait for you."
Xu Kai was a standard IT man. After graduating from university, he had worked in the deep sea for almost ten years. It wasn't easy for him to find the girlfriend he liked. Naturally, he would give in to Ke Yao if he could. He didn't want to live the life of a single dog anymore.
Fortunately, Ke Yao wasn't an unreasonable person. She spent another ten minutes to solve the problem. She followed the restless Xu Kai out of their small home and drove to the cinema.
When Xu Kai was single in the past, he was usually very busy with work, so he had very few entertainment activities. The only long-term hobby that he kept was probably reading online novels, because reading novels on his phone could make full use of his spare time.
He also liked the new school of martial arts novels that had just become popular in the past few years. The martial arts novels that were more inclined to the real world were more durable than ordinary online novels. There wasn't too much fantasy and exaggeration, so it was more suitable for an old bookworm like him.
On the bookshelf in Xu Kai's small study, there were five or six sets of martial arts novels, such as "The Smiling, The Proud Wanderer", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "Young Jianghu", and so on.
Among these Wuxia novels, Xu Kai's favorite was "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer". This novel was the pioneer of the new school of Wuxia, and it occupied the first place in his heart. Even "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", which was now more famous than "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer", could not be shaken.
Xu Kai had read the few Wuxia novels several times, and The Smiling, Proud Wanderer had read it at least five times. He had long been looking forward to this book being adapted into a movie or TV series.
He had read these several martial arts novels, and "The Proud Jianghu" had at least five times. He. looking forward to the movie. the "The Jianghu".
He "The movie" "The movie" was very, he "The movie". "t." To the "Jianghu" the movie, and the movie, "the"'s ". The Jit." t "." ".". "
"The Jianghu" tickets were very popular, especially the "Jianghu" version. Although Shenhai was a first-tier city, there weren't many cinemas with "Jianghu".
So Xu Kai, who was lucky enough to get a ticket, didn't want to be late. It would be a pity if he missed the movie.
Fortunately, he was quite lucky. There weren't too many cars on the road. It took him more than ten minutes to find a parking space at Xinli Cinema. When he finally arrived at the "Jianghu" theater, there were only five minutes left before the movie started.
"Thank god …"
Holding a drink and popcorn in one hand and holding Ke Yao's hand in the other, Xu Kai found their seats and sat down. He couldn't help but let out a long sigh, with a look of lingering fear.
Ke Yao shook off his hand and rolled her eyes at him. "Look at how anxious you are. Really!"
Xu Kai chuckled and handed over the snacks he had just bought in a flattering manner.
However, his attention was quickly attracted by the image that appeared on the screen — the movie had started!
The eye-catching logo of Wanhao Pictures and the four golden words were the first thing that came into view. After half a minute of the introduction, a grand scene was projected on the screen. The towering mountains, the majestic city gates, and the row upon row of buildings were getting closer and closer. Xu Kai couldn't help but hold his breath.
He had seen the trailer of "The Jianghu" a long time ago, but the image that he saw on his computer and phone was completely different from what was shown on the screen. It was like the difference between heaven and earth.
The combination of real scenes and CG was vividly displayed on the super-high-resolution giant screen projection. It immediately captured Xu Kai's heart and made him look forward to the subsequent plot.
However, after half an hour, this feeling of anticipation weakened a lot. Xu Kai's attention returned to his girlfriend.
He turned his head and happened to see Ke Yao yawn out of boredom. Then, she lazily stuffed two pieces of popcorn into her mouth with a disinterested expression.
Although he knew that his girlfriend didn't like this type of movie, Xu Kai felt very helpless when he saw Ke Yao's expression. If he had known earlier, he would have watched "Left and Right Love" with her first and then watched "The Jianghu" alone.
An hour later, Xu Kai moved his butt. He felt that the cinema was a little stuffy and the air conditioning wasn't turned on enough.
He looked at Ke Yao again. She had actually fallen asleep on his shoulder.
Xu Kai's helplessness turned into a bitter smile. The 200 yuan that he had spent that night was wasted!
After watching for another 20 minutes or so, Xu Kai finally couldn't sit still anymore. He gently pushed Ke Yao, who was still sleeping.
Ke Yao woke up with a start. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and asked, "Is it over?"
Not yet!
Xu Kai smiled bitterly. "It's about time. Let's go first. It'll be very crowded later."
After a pause, he added, "I'll accompany you to the Jinsha Shopping Mall next door …"
Hearing about shopping mall, Ke Yao's sleepiness instantly disappeared. "Okay, then let's go!"
She was bored to death. If it weren't for accompanying her boyfriend, she wouldn't have bothered to suffer like this. She couldn't wait to leave.
The two of them left the cinema together and went to the shopping mall instead.
When they returned home, it was already past 10 o 'clock at night. Ke Yao was happily trying on the new clothes she had just bought in the bedroom. Xu Kai sat in front of the computer as if there was a fishbone stuck in his throat. He always felt that there was something stifling in his heart, and he had to get it out!
He turned on the computer and skillfully logged into a forum that he frequented. In the film section, he opened a new post. The title was [Just came back from watching "The Jianghu of Youth". Talk about your feelings about watching it!]
After typing on the keyboard for seven or eight minutes and editing for a few more minutes, a short film review post came out. Xu Kai looked at the edited content on the screen. He hesitated for a moment and then hit the enter key.
Pa!
The sound was crisp.
