At this moment, a broadcaster announced that they were starting to check tickets .
Xin Yanting recovered from her stupor and smiled . “Let’s go . They’re checking tickets now . ”
She bowed her head . Without looking at his reaction, she walked towards the cinema .
Jesse gazed at her deeply and pressed his lips bitterly . He shook his head and gave himself an encouraging smile .
“Ting!”
He caught up with her in three steps . He slowed his pace when he reached her, his hands tucked into his pockets as he followed beside her in silence .
‘The Little Starfish’ just came to the theaters, so many people were watching it . Majority brought their kids along for the movie .
It was noisy .
There was a long queue at the ticket-checking counter . The neighboring lane was for exiting . A movie had just ended and a congregation of people was walking toward the exit, discussing the plot of the movie they just watched .
Laughter filled the air .
“Oh, I forgot to get popcorn . ” Jesse smelled a waft of popcorn that a girl in front of them was carrying . “I’ll go buy some . ”
He prepared to leave but Xin Yanting grabbed his arm and pulled him back . She frowned and asked, “We just ate . Are you still hungry?”
She had zero interest in food right now .
Curious, Jesse frowned . “Don’t you Chinese girls like eating popcorn during movies?”
He didn’t understand girls from China at all . He based everything from what he had seen and jumped to conclusions .
“No, I don’t like it . ” Xin Yanting shook her head gently and let go of his arm . She continued walking toward the cinema .
“Uncle, can you bring me to watch it next time?”
Suddenly, a girl beside her spoke in English and Xin Yanting turned her head in curiosity .
A tall man was carrying a cute little girl in a white dress . He brushed past her and shock flashed across her eyes . Her heart clenched .
She turned to look at them and was apparently stunned .
The man took two steps before suddenly halting and turning around . His gaze met hers and shock was etched onto his handsome face .
Xin Yanting’s eyes glistened . The man’s eyes seemed to have a strong magnetic force that sucked her in .
She hated him . She found him annoying . She shouldn’t think about him or give him a second glance .
“Are you moving or not?”
The person queuing behind her saw that she was unmoving and impatiently rushed her .
Her thoughts were interrupted and she retracted her gaze . She bowed her head and was about to continue walking when Jesse suddenly put his arm around her shoulder in a protective stance . He protected her as she walked forward through the counter .
After getting their 3D spectacles, Jesse moved his arm to her waist . Just as they were about to turn the corner, he looked backward .
The tall, handsome, and charismatic man holding that little girl’s hand earlier gradually disappeared from his sight .
Su Yan held Xiaojiao’s hand . After walking a few steps, he looked backward . His pace slowed .
Xiaojiao peered up at him for a long while before asking, “Uncle, what are you looking at?”
Su Yan smiled at her and truthfully replied, “I saw a close—someone I know . ”
