Ten minutes later, Li Rui walked out of the small courtyard with a flat wallet in his hand. He said to Chen Chen who was beside him, "Why do I feel that you two have taken advantage of me?"
Chen Chen snorted and said, "Are you worried about the money? Is your life more important or money more important? "
Li Rui looked like he had suffered a great loss and said, "I don't think it's that serious."
Chen Chen said, "Don't say anything else. Just tell me whether she is right or not. If she is, you didn't spend a thousand yuan in vain. If she isn't, why are you willing to give her money? "
It turned out that Li Rui gave Grandma Hu a thousand yuan just now, but only half of it was the cost of looking at the incense (which was what Li Rui was willing to give), and the other half was the cost of avoiding disasters (which was what Grandma Hu asked for). Grandma Hu took the five hundred yuan and helped him to put in a good word with the third son of the Thunder God. The third son of the Thunder God was a great immortal, but he actually listened to her, a mortal, and promised not to take revenge. Since then, he would not pester Li Rui anymore.
Li Rui was now walking out of Grandma Hu's small courtyard. He still felt like he was floating in the clouds, as if he had just had a dream. It was no wonder that he felt this way. It was really too unreal. Only the two of them and a few firefighters knew about the lightning and fire disaster that he and Wen Moshi had suffered together. No outsiders knew about it, let alone an old woman in a remote mountain village dozens of kilometers away from the city. However, this old lady was able to tell him that he had recently encountered a calamity of lightning and fire. She was simply divine!
Li Rui didn't want to admit that she guessed it by looking at the incense, but if she guessed it right, she guessed it too accurately. Why didn't she say that she had offended the third son of the Thunder God? Therefore, compared to the latter, the former was more reasonable, even if it was not scientific.
They went back to the car and Chen Chen drove. They turned around and headed for the city.
On the way, Li Rui didn't say anything. He just thought about the process of looking at the incense. He didn't know why, but he had an impulse to go to the Ink Fragrance Garden in the small street south of Nanhu Park. As they got closer to the city, this impulse became stronger and stronger.
"Put me in the small street south of Nanhu Park!"
"Ha … Yawn!" Chen Chen yawned and tried to open her eyes to look at the road in front of the car. She asked casually, "Where do you live?"
"Of course not!"
"Then why did you go there?"
"Don't worry about it!"
"Tsk, do you think I want to interfere?"
The two bickered and soon returned to the city. Chen Chen was an obedient girl after all. She put the Li Rui down at the entrance of the South Street of Nanhu Park. Li Rui told her to drive slowly and then got out of the car.
It was already past eleven o 'clock, and there was no one on the streets. Only one or two cars passed by occasionally. Most of the shops were dark, and only one or two were still lit, but they had already closed their doors. Li Rui looked at the location of Ink Ink Garden and strode over.
When he reached the entrance of Ink Ink Garden, Li Rui was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. This two-story building that had been burned down by the fire not long ago was now standing tall again. It looked exactly the same as before. If there was a difference, it was naturally that the materials used were new, and there was no quaint feeling like before. However, for most outsiders who didn't know that this small building had experienced a fire, they probably wouldn't know that this building was newly built.
"It's built so fast. It's only been a few weeks, and it's already completed!"
Li Rui was sighing at the speed of the construction when he suddenly found that the door of the building was half open, and there was a dim light coming from inside. He listened carefully and heard the sound of people talking. His heart skipped a beat. Could the little beauty Wen Moshi be inside? He hesitated for a moment and walked over quickly.
After entering the building, Li Rui realized that he was wrong. Wen Moshi wasn't inside, only two workers. They were busy painting the walls and chatting as they painted. It seemed that the night didn't affect their working mood and efficiency at all.
The two workers heard footsteps and looked at the door. When they saw a stranger like Li Rui barging in, one of them ignored him and turned back to continue working. The other asked, "What do you want?"
Li Rui was about to speak when he heard the sound of footsteps coming from the wooden stairs leading to the second floor. He looked up and saw a slender woman wearing a white T-shirt and light blue denim jeans walking down. Who else could it be but Wen Moshi?
Li Rui didn't expect to see her here, even though this was the place where she "appeared" the most. He was surprised and happy, and for a moment, he was speechless.
Wen Moshi didn't expect him to suddenly run over in the middle of the night. When she saw him, she was slightly stunned. She raised her eyebrows and stopped to ask, "Why are you here?"
Li Rui smiled and said, "I just got off work and wasn't sleepy. I didn't have anything to do, so I came over to take a look. I didn't expect Fragrant Ink Court to be restored to its original state. The construction speed is so fast."
Wen Moshi was relieved and her brows relaxed. She walked down the stairs in a few steps and walked in front of him. She looked around and said, "I gave them double their salary and asked them to work overtime so that they could finish the building before I left. So naturally, it would be fast."
Li Rui asked, "Why aren't you leaving yet? Aren't you getting married in Beijing in November? Aren't you going back to prepare in advance? "
Wen Moshi's face tensed up. She glanced at him unhappily and said coldly, "Why are you always thinking about this? I'm not in a hurry, so why are you in a hurry? "
Only then did Li Rui remember that she seemed to be dissatisfied with this marriage. Every time he mentioned that she was getting married, she would be unhappy. He smiled and said, "I'm just asking. I don't mean anything else. It's fine if you don't want to talk about it." After saying that, he laughed dryly and whispered, "To tell you the truth, I went to look at the incense just now. In the end, that Xiang Xiang 'er divined that I had encountered a lightning and fire disaster …" He told her about the process of looking at the incense just now.
Wen Moshi frowned and looked at him and asked, "You're a big man. Why do you believe in this all the time?"
Li Rui also frowned. He thought to himself that this girl really didn't know how to chat. Every time she said something strange and sarcastic. He was just sharing an interesting story with her, but she was good. She immediately mocked him. No wonder she didn't have any friends. He said unhappily, "Who would believe that? I just happened to pass by and was dragged in by a friend to take a look."
Wen Moshi could hear his indignant tone and couldn't help but laugh. She said, "You're not sleepy yet, are you?"
Li Rui thought to himself, Since you're not chatting properly, there's no need for me to chat properly with you either. He replied vengefully, "Why do you care if I'm sleepy or not?"
Wen Moshi sneered but didn't mind. She said, "I'm not sleepy now. Why don't you find a program?"
"A program? What program? "Li Rui didn't quite understand what she meant.
Wen Moshi saw that he didn't understand and glared at him. "Forget it if you don't understand!"
"Don't!" Li Rui finally understood what she meant. "You mean to go out and play to pass the time when you're not sleepy yet? You can go home and sleep when you're tired?"
Wen Moshi rolled her eyes at him and said, "You're not that stupid!"
Li Rui chuckled and thought about it. What kind of program could they do in the middle of the night? It would be nothing more than singing and drinking, right? If it was dancing, he wouldn't be able to embarrass himself enough. He said, "Why don't we find a KTV to sing or a bar to drink?"
Wen Moshi shook her head and said, "That's boring. Is there a place to show a midnight movie? I want to watch a movie. "
Li Rui's jaw dropped when he heard that. What was she thinking about? Watching a movie in the middle of the night? Besides, where would there be a midnight movie theater in the city? He thought about it and said, "There's a place called Great Joy City in the south of the city. There's food, drink, entertainment, and shopping there. I heard that the movie theater there is the most popular in the city. There should be …"
Wen Moshi didn't wait for him to finish and walked out. She said, "Then let's go there. You lead the way!"
The two of them walked out of Fragrant Ink Garden and walked east for a while. When they reached the intersection, they got into Wen Moshi's car and drove to Great Joy City in the south of the city. They didn't spend much time on the road. Ten minutes later, the car was parked in the parking lot in front of Great Joy City.
The building where Great Joy City was located wasn't very tall. It only had six floors, but it was fashionable, luxurious, and modern. The interior was even more impressive. It was a place for food, drink, entertainment, and shopping. The basement was a Carrefour supermarket, the first, second, and third floors were shopping malls, the fourth floor was a gourmet restaurant, the fifth floor was a game hall, a skating rink, and a movie theater, and the sixth floor was a fitness club.
It was already midnight. The supermarket and shopping malls in Great Joy City were closed, but there were still people going in and out of the entrance. It was quite lively, and most of them were teenagers. It was obvious that this was the favorite place of the teenagers in the city.
Li Rui and Wen Moshi got out of the car and walked to the entrance. Li Rui looked at the young men and women exuding youthful vitality and then looked at his and Wen Moshi's age. Wen Moshi was still young. She was only in her twenties, but he was already thirty. Yet, he was still enjoying the nightlife with these young men and women. Just thinking about it made him blush.
When he thought of this, his heart skipped a beat. He turned to look at Wen Moshi beside him. He thought to himself, 'What's wrong with this girl tonight? Why did she suddenly want to watch a movie? She even called me along? Is she lonely and bored, or is there something else on her mind? '
When Li Rui and Liu Liping were dating, they often came to Great Joy City, so he was familiar with the place. He brought Wen Moshi into the building and took the elevator to the fifth floor of the movie theater. Actually, it was fine even if he didn't know the way, because the young men and women who came in all came to this floor. They just had to follow the crowd to reach the right place.
The two of them came to the ticket office of the movie theater. There was indeed a midnight show here, and it had already been showing for ten minutes. However, ten minutes didn't affect the plot. Moreover, Li Rui felt that Wen Moshi might not be here to watch the movie. She might be here to relieve her mind. He walked to the counter to buy tickets. He had just taken two steps when his arm was grabbed by Wen Moshi's slender hand.
"Don't buy. I don't want to watch it."
