บท 265: Chapter 264: Shui Shui's account

นักเขียน: Qian Feifei เครื่องแปลภาษา

She silently labeled Young Master Hua as unlucky. She decided that if she did meet him again, she would just ignore him. She was annoyed by the thought of possibly seeing him again somewhere. He was the kind of cynical boy that she hated.

They went out of the complex, and He Xiaoying stopped a taxi. They got into the car, and He Xiaoying said, "Please bring us to Old Street."

Shuishui's phone kept ringing. Mu Ziyu was calling her. She hesitated for a while before she answered the call. "Hello, Ziyu."

"Where are you now?" Mu Ziyu asked in a low voice. Since it was Friday, he wondered if she had gone home already.

Shuishui was stunned. "I'm in a taxi. I'm going out to eat with my friend, He Xiaoying."

"I'll pick you up after you eat. Send me your address later." He looked at the time. It was still early. He was going out to eat with his friends. It wouldn't be too late by the time Shuishui finished eating. He had bought her favorite snacks. He didn't have anything important to do that week, and he was able to finish many of his tasks. He had plenty of time to spend with her.

She looked at He Xiaoying with a smile. "You went out of the cinema even when the movie had just started. You must have been waiting for me outside for a long time."

"It's okay. I played with my phone for a while. You're not afraid. I'm scared to death. I wasn't this scared when I watched horror movies before. The cinematography and the movie's theme scared me more because it reminded me of what could happen during everyday events, like staying at home, being in the elevator, or showering in the bathroom. I can still remember the scenes clearly." He Xiaoying regretted watching even just the first few minutes of the movie. Shuishui was bold enough to be able to watch the movie alone. On the other hand, He Xiaoying was too weak. She felt that she would be able to watch a horror movie with her future boyfriend.

Shuishui did not think too much about the movie because the plot simply interested her. It was rare for her to be interested in such movies.

Shuishui had actually tried traditional Beijing hot pot before. She liked the hot pot restaurant He Xiaoying brought her to. The hot pot served to them was not quite heavy. Next time, she could ask Ziyu to come along.

When they finished their dinner, He Xiaoying said, "We live around the same area. We can take a taxi together."

"No need. You can go back. I'll wait for my friend here. Also, my house isn't along the way. Be careful on the road, understand?" Shuishui watched as He Xiaoying got into the car and waved goodbye.

He Xiaoying smiled. She wondered if Shuishui was waiting for her boyfriend. She remembered that man. He was quite handsome. Of course, she was too embarrassed to be a third wheel. "Enjoy your date. Call me if you need anything," she said to Shuishui.

He Xiaoying felt that it wasn't too safe at night. "I'm leaving. Don't go to places with fewer people. Be safe," she said again to Shuishui as the taxi sped off.

"Okay. Bye." Shuishui waved goodbye as well. Shortly after He Xiaoying left, Mu Ziyu arrived. Shuishui quickly got into the car because parking was not allowed in the area.

"Let's go," she said as she got into the car.

Sitting in the car, she said, "Next time, let's eat here too. The hot pot in this restaurant is very good. Although I didn't have any spicy food today, I feel pretty good."

"Okay. If you like it, we can go back here one of these days. Anyway, since it's Friday and you don't have a class tomorrow, let's go to the movies tonight." Ziyu noticed that going to the movies was a trend among many young couples those days. He and Shuishui have not been to a cinema together. He was excited because there were quite a number of movies to choose from that night.

Shuishui blinked her eyes. She found his suggestion interesting. She actually liked watching sci-fi movies. "Sure. I'll buy the tickets on my phone," she said.

"Okay. Just choose any movie that you like," Mu Ziyu said. "Let's go to the Taigu Cinema. It's more spacious there."

"All right. Hold on. I'm browsing through the movies." It was only slightly past nine o'clock. It was probably not even ten o'clock yet. She checked the available screening times for the movies. "So many people have booked tickets for this movie. Hmm. Here's another. However, it will start at ten. It's titled Galaxy. What do you think?"

She was slightly worried that Mu Ziyu wouldn't like the movie. She had to choose something that both of them liked.

Mu Ziyu didn't mind. "Sure."

He casually asked, "What kind of movies do you like to watch?"

"Me? I prefer to watch movies about space or the galaxy. Sci-fi movies, in general," Shuishui said straightforwardly. Personally, she did not like to watch romantic movies. She felt that they were too melodramatic. The plot of romantic movies never attracted her. If it was a suspense movie mixed with romance, she could consider watching it. She was not the type who would watch a movie just because of the actors in it. If a movie's plot was attractive to her, she would watch it.

"Okay. I got it. We're almost there. Let's park the car first." Mu Ziyu parked the car and pulled Shuishui into the cinema. "There are two types of popcorn here. Which one do you like?"

Shuishui walked up with Mu Ziyu while Mu Ziyu bought their snacks. "I like sweet popcorn. I'll just have water with it."

"One big popcorn and two bottles of mineral water, please." After Mu Ziyu bought the popcorn, they sat outside and waited. They could only enter the cinema a few minutes before ten.

Shuishui leaned on Mu Ziyu's shoulder. "Although I'm full because of the hot pot dinner we had, I feel like I can still eat something."

Mu Ziyu reached out and scratched Shuishui's nose. "You, don't overeat. When there's food, do you forget your boyfriend?"

"What? How could I forget you? I always think about your share when I eat. Today, I watched a movie with my classmate. She invited me to watch a movie, but the movie tickets she had only allowed us to choose between two kinds of movies. We were made to choose between romantic or horror movies. We chose to go with the horror movie, but she went outside not long after it started. I finished watching it, but she didn't go back inside the cinema. It was really fun." In the beginning, He Xiaoying had even asked Shuishui if she was afraid. She didn't expect that He Xiaoying would end up not watching the rest of the movie.

Shuishui saw that Cinema 1 had been opened. "Let's go in," she said.

Mu Ziyu wanted to pull Shuishui, but she was already in front. He helplessly smiled and followed her.

Shuishui looked at the tickets. "We're in the middle of the second-to-the-last row. Actually, I wanted the middle seat, but it appears that someone else had bought the seats first."

"It's okay. It's the same later." Mu Ziyu just wanted to enjoy watching the movie with Shuishui.

The movie was very popular. Not long after they sat down, the theater was full of people. Advertisements started appearing on the huge screen in front of them. The movie officially started at ten o'clock sharp. Shuishui watched as she ate the popcorn. "This is a good opening for a movie," she said.

"Here, drink some water." Mu Ziyu opened the water bottle and handed it to Shuishui.

Shuishui took a sip and placed the bottle in her seat's cup holder.

Even when the movie had already started, there were still people coming in. Coincidentally, there was an empty seat beside Shuishui, and a couple walked towards them. "The person who bought the tickets said that our seats are not far. It's still another row from here. It's too far away."

"Let's sit here for now, it's about to start," the man said to his girlfriend. He spoke very gently, but everyone heard their conversation. It was already pitch black, and the people were already focused on the movie.

When the girl sat down, she turned to Shuishui and said, "Miss, can you change seats with my boyfriend?"

The girl only wanted to sit beside her boyfriend.

Before Shuishui could answer, Mu Ziyu said, "My girlfriend is sitting here with me. Why would she want to change seats with you? Miss, if you want to sit with your boyfriend, it's understandable, but don't bother us."

Mu Ziyu was annoyed by the woman's ridiculous request. How could they ask Shuishui to sit somewhere else?

The woman was a little embarrassed. She thought that Shuishui was alone. "I'm sorry," she said.

"It's fine," Shuishui said calmly.

The movie started, and she had ignored the woman who sat beside her.

Mu Ziyu would occasionally look at Shuishui. Time passed slowly. After the movie, Shuishui stretched her body. "It wasn't bad. It was worth it," she said.

"I'm glad that you liked it. I still have some snacks for you in the car. You can try them when you go home. I also bought the watermelon-flavored cake that you like. It is different from the one I bought for you before," he said.

Shuishui wanted to go to the bookstore the next day. She asked, "Are you free tomorrow? Come to my house and I'll make some flower tea for you."

"I'm free," Ziyu answered. He made it a point to always try to be available for Shuishui on weekends.

"Didn't you leave a set of clothes at my house before? I'll wash them and leave them in the guest room. If you don't mind, leave that set of clothes in the guest room, so that when you have to sleep there again, you have an extra set of clothes too," Shuishui said. She felt that it would be convenient for Ziyu to have a ready set of clothes in her guest room just in case he needed to stay there overnight again.

However, Mu Ziyu misunderstood what Shuishui said. "Are you inviting me to stay there tonight?"

Shuishui looked at his smug expression. "You're overthinking it again. But you can stay there tonight and accompany Qian Anzhi. I have to go to the hospital later."

"I'll take you there." Mu Ziyu was no longer interested since Shuishui wouldn't be home anyway.

"No need. I'll call for a car, so you can go home. Qian Anzhi is there anyway." Shuishui felt relieved that Anzhi wouldn't feel afraid since Ziyu would be there. He was actually quite afraid of being home alone at night. Although they already had two dogs, he wasn't used to the large house yet.

Mu Ziyu looked at Shuishui unhappily. "Can't you go tomorrow? Why do you have to go so late?"

"I don't like hospitals during the day." Shuishui preferred going to the hospital at night because she hated the bright lights and how everything in there was white. It reminded her of her father's hospital room.

"Okay." Mu Ziyu didn't say much. He knew that it was not appropriate to talk about it. Shuishui's father was still in grave condition, so it was only right for Shuishui to accompany her father.

When they returned to the villa, Qian Anzhi came down with two dogs in his arms. "Sis, you're finally back."

"Brother Mu, you're here." Qian Anzhi put the dogs down and strode forward.

"Yes, I brought some desserts along the way." Mu Ziyu placed the desserts on the kitchen counter.

Shuishui Leisurely made tea in the kitchen. She liked to use her English tea sets to make scented tea. Chinese tea was served with traditional tea sets.

She carried the teacups after she brewed the tea.

The two dogs squatted by the side and watched them. They were staring at the cake, and they looked very eager. Such snacks were unhealthy for dogs.

The dogs barked and whined.

Qian Anzhi pitied the dogs. He wanted to give them a few snacks to eat, but Qian Shuishui stopped him. "Don't give such snacks to the dogs. They are still young, and they have enough dog food. They might end up being greedy if you tolerate them."

Qian Anzhi again felt his sister's coldness. He suddenly remembered something. He said, "Sis, Mom called me today. She said that she misses us and wants to come and see us. She has already booked her plane tickets. She will arrive on Sunday."

"You can see her, but I—She wouldn't want to see me. It doesn't matter if she comes, but don't bring her here. It's not convenient. If she wants to see Dad, you mustn't bring her there. She has chosen to divorce him, so must have nothing to do with Dad in the future," Shuishui said bluntly. She made it very clear. She didn't want to be anywhere near Li Xue, and she was very grateful to Teacher Li for helping her prove her father's innocence. However, it was too late. The company had already declared bankruptcy, and there was nothing she could do to turn things around. She vowed to look for evidence clearing her father's name when she reached *****hood. For the meantime, she could only endure the hardships for her father's sake.

She didn't care what Li Xue wanted to do. Shuishui decided that Li Xue could never be allowed to speak to or hear from her father again.

Qian Anzhi nodded. "If Mom says she wants to visit Dad, I'll tell her it's not allowed. I am still trying to recover from the fact that she decided to leave Dad in his most difficult time."

Since the day Li Xue filed divorce, Qian Anzhi bore a grudge against his own mother. However, she was still his mother. If she told him that she missed him, what could he do about it?

"En, just don't bring her here. If you do, she won't leave. In the end, we'll be the ones in trouble." Shuishui knew that Li Xue was a greedy person. If she found out that they were living in a large house, they would do anything to live in it too.

"I know. She said that she would be staying for a few days. I'll book a hotel room for her. Anyway, I have classes every day, so I won't have much free time to take care of them." Qian Anzhi was helpless. He felt that his mother was troublesome.

"I'm glad that you know what to do. I'll go to the hospital later. You don't have to worry. Ziyu will stay here with you." She ate the last bite of the cake and went upstairs to shower.

Qian Anzhi's eyes lit up. "Brother Mu, why don't we play a game?"

"Sure," Mu Ziyu said gently, but his gaze followed Shuishui upstairs. He wanted to go with her, but Shuishui probably wouldn't allow him to go to the hospital with her.

Qian Anzhi noticed it. "Brother Mu, what are you looking at? Are you looking at my sister? She prefers going to the hospital at night. I sometimes go there after class to see my father, and then I go straight home. Anyway, you can use my sister's account to play. I'll ask Brother Zilin to send her login details."

Anzhi also contacted Jiang Li and invited him to join the game. They had no classes the next day, so they were more indulgent.

Mu Ziyu knew about the game. Although he had played it before, he wasn't very interested in playing it. He opened Shuishui's account, which was famous among other players. "Does Shuishui often play using this account?"

"No. Brother Zilin is the one using that account." Qian Anzhi turned on his computer and logged on to his account.

Mu Zilin turned on his voice chat. "Brother, why did you go to Shuishui's house without me!"

"Troublesome," Ziyu said.

"Uh."

"Shuishui's account is not bad," Mu Ziyu commented.

"Of course, I'm the one who helped her level up. I don't know why, but I always get some good stuff when I use her account. It's so strange. I have been using that account too much that I was no longer able to improve the level of my own account. Shuishui's account is getting better and better."
