Chapter 99

Zheng Xiaotian didn't manage to leave; he was held back by Lao Xingyue, who insisted on dragging him around the school for a leisurely stroll. From time to time, she would find various backgrounds to take photos with him. It felt as if he was about to leave this world, and she was deeply attached to him, wanting to keep a memento of their time together.

At first, Zheng Xiaotian didn't quite understand or appreciate it, but later, he felt that he was truly being taken for a ride.

Zheng Xiaotian noticed that a post titled "One Man Can Hold the Pass Against a Million" had appeared on the school's bulletin board. It featured a video of his formidable combat skills. Below the post, there were photos that had just been taken and uploaded, with the theme "A Hero Is Among Us."

Zheng Xiaotian was speechless. How could he describe his feelings? He didn't even want to describe them.

"Would you like to be my boyfriend?" Lao Xingyue blinked her big eyes and looked at Zheng Xiaotian.

"Huh? This happiness came too suddenly, didn't it?" Zheng Xiaotian was a bit dazed and said, "This reminds me of a poem to describe this moment." "What poem?" Lao Xingyue asked, trying to create an atmosphere of a romantic relationship and growing affection.

Lao Xingyue had this idea because a fortune-teller had told her that this year, a prince charming would appear and bring a dramatic change to her life. If she could seize the opportunity, her life would be transformed. At first, she laughed it off, but now she wasn't laughing. Because the prince charming had indeed appeared.

"Under the moon and flowers, the affection is deep, and I feel a bit dazed," Zheng Xiaotian said.

Lao Xingyue realized that she had overestimated his poetic skills. She had hoped that his poetry would elevate the atmosphere, but the second line was just too much.

Seeing Lao Xingyue stunned, Zheng Xiaotian thought, "Damn, my poem is pretty good, isn't it?" He pointed at Lao Xingyue's phone and said, "The post describes me as 'One Man Can Hold the Pass Against a Million.' I think you should add a line to represent the hero."

"Do you feel cute?" Lao Xingyue asked tentatively.

"Exactly!" Zheng Xiaotian nodded seriously. At that moment, Lao Xingyue really wanted to slap him. "Do you feel cute" was a popular phrase, but it shouldn't be used casually. Once used, any serious context would turn into a joke. A powerful line like "One Man Can Hold the Pass Against a Million" would lose its impact if followed by "Do you feel cute?"

"Forget it, forget it. I can see you're not in the mood for chatting. Let's go see a movie," Lao Xingyue waved her hand and said.

"Sure!" Zheng Xiaotian nodded and said, "But I don't have any money."

"Ah?" Lao Xingyue was a bit dazed and asked, "You're not trying to get me to pay, are you?" "But I really don't have any money," Zheng Xiaotian rubbed his nose and then turned out his pockets.

Zheng Xiaotian didn't know where his money had gone. After being beaten and hospitalized, he hadn't seen his wallet. He thought it might have been stolen. He was determined to find the thief and get his wallet back. Definitely!

In the end, the two of them still went to the cinema.

The cinema mainly catered to students. They knew that students liked to watch pirated movies on platforms like Watermelon Video or Kuaibo, so the ticket prices were not expensive. A ticket cost five yuan, and it wasn't even 3D. This made it affordable for everyone to experience the atmosphere. As a result, the business model was thin profit but high volume, with many people coming every day.

It was currently class time, so the cinema was usually deserted. But now, there was a queue of about ten meters. After waiting in line for ten minutes, it was finally Zheng Xiaotian and Lao Xingyue's turn.

"Two movie tickets, please." Lao Xingyue handed over ten yuan and received two tickets.

"Wait!" A man and a woman appeared beside Lao Xingyue.

"What do you want? Are you robbing us?" Lao Xingyue asked suspiciously.

"It's obvious that if a guy asks a girl to pay, he has no money. A girl won't have much money either. If you want to rob someone, go for the show-off guy," the man said.

Zheng Xiaotian frowned. The man's words were harsh and disrespectful. He clearly had no idea what respect meant.

"Are you going to leave or not? We haven't bought our tickets yet," the people in the queue behind them shouted.

"Shut up, all of you. Do you want a beating?" The man blocking Zheng Xiaotian and Lao Xingyue's path raised his right hand, pointed at the people who were shouting, and silenced them.

"..." Everyone felt the man's presence and fell silent.

Zheng Xiaotian shook his head. Nowadays, society was filled with such people. It was hopeless.

"What do you want?" Lao Xingyue couldn't hold back and asked.

Lao Xingyue wasn't afraid of the man. She could be considered fearless. With Zheng Xiaotian, a formidable presence, by her side, who did she have to fear?

"I just want to ask you, did you pay for the tickets?" The man looked at Lao Xingyue.

"Didn't you say you weren't robbing us? Why are you asking this?" Lao Xingyue frowned. Usually, robbers would first figure out who had money and then rob them. This was the standard procedure to ensure a successful robbery, right?

"I'm not robbing you, so you can answer me without worry," the man nodded.

"But why should I answer you?" Lao Xingyue was confused. She realized she had encountered a conceited and self-centered man. He seemed to think the whole world revolved around him and that everyone should cater to his every whim.

"Why are you such a sissy? Can't you chat properly?" The man pointed at Lao Xingyue.

"How do you talk to people?" Zheng Xiaotian pointed at the man. He thought, "Just because I didn't speak, you think I'm a sissy? You're ignoring my existence? Haven't you seen the hottest post on campus? It just went viral, and you didn't pay attention?"

"Get lost, it's none of your business!" The man slapped Zheng Xiaotian's hand away.
