- Chapter 102 - Kissing is Forbidden in the Cinema
The Upper World was like a city that never sleeps to Chi Yueshan.
She could easily fill a day with activities, as getting around was so convenient, distance was no object.
The movie tickets Xi Li gave were for the giant screen at the Royal Theater. She didn’t know the actors’ background, but it was amazing that the premiere was scheduled there.
Chi Yueshan asked Xi Zhoumeng, “I heard you were a child actor here?”
The ticket hall was crowded, with fans of the actors holding banners.
Tickets were hard to get, and the attendees weren’t ordinary people.
Many couples were present.
Xi Zhoumeng: “I joined a troupe with Duan Daizhen.”
Many people came and went, many wearing veils or masks. Shen Yu and Lan Lan were among them, even waving to Xi Zhoumeng.
Chi Yueshan: “Were you… I mean, in your world, also an actress?”
Xi Zhoumeng shook her head, “No.”
Seeing Shen Yu pushing Lan Lan’s wheelchair to buy popcorn, she asked Chi Yueshan, “Do you prefer large or small?”
Chi Yueshan didn’t immediately understand, “What?”
Xi Zhoumeng: “Popcorn.”
Chi Yueshan said “oh,” “Do you eat it?”
She had never seen Xi Zhoumeng eat such snacks; the young lady’s afternoon tea always consisted of the finest pastries.
Xi Zhoumeng: “If you eat it, I will too.”
Chi Yueshan: “Then I’ll buy it!”
Before Xi Zhoumeng could react, she happily ran off.
Xi Zhoumeng, wearing a trendy veil, tilted her head and smiled.
Technological advancements had ironically made these activities popular again. Previously, people wanted to watch movies and plays online from home, but now people prefer series.
On grand holidays, the streets were filled with onlookers, as if they were living each day as if it were their last.
This world isn’t much different from mine.
Xi Zhoumeng looked up, catching sight of Chi Yueshan, then thought: But there’s still a difference.
My world doesn’t have her.
Chi Yueshan skipped along, still not used to wearing a dress; the freedom of wearing pants was greatly missed.
Someone nearby asked her something, she chatted with them briefly before returning to Xi Zhoumeng with the popcorn.
The line moved orderly, the popcorn’s aroma reached Xi Zhoumeng’s nose.
Chi Yueshan said, “Are you sure you’ll eat it?”
Xi Zhoumeng immediately took a piece, “Didn’t I just eat?”
Chi Yueshan snorted, “I thought you only ate the most expensive things.”
Xi Zhoumeng: “I like the most expensive person.”
Chi Yueshan wasn’t fooled, “Don’t talk nonsense, I’m the most rundown.”
Xi Zhoumeng: “Much better than Wen Xinghuo, she’s the rundown one. You don’t know what she was like when she first arrived.”
Chi Yueshan rarely heard her mention this, she curiously asked, “What was she like?”
Xi Zhoumeng suddenly didn’t want to say it, thinking her mouth was really mean, mentioning Wen Xinghuo at this time.
Chi Yueshan waited for a long time without a reply, she said, “What’s wrong? You always only say half…”
Xi Zhoumeng leaned over to her ear, “It’s not always half, is it?”
Chi Yueshan didn’t want to understand, but she did. Suppressing the urge to step on her, she turned and went inside.
Xi Zhoumeng: “You need to scan my code, why are you going so fast?”
Chi Yueshan fiercely urged her, “Hurry up!”
Xi Zhoumeng: “If you say hurry up, I’ll hurry up.”
Before the movie even started, Chi Yueshan’s face was already red.
She tried not to be affected by Xi Zhoumeng’s flirtatious thoughts, taking photos with her new holocom and posting them to her contact list’s feed.
It doesn’t matter what movie it is, but it’s my first time watching a movie in a cinema.
And! It’s with the person I like.
It’s just that it can’t be public, so annoying.
The theater wasn’t crowded, and everyone was seated in pairs. Xi Zhoumeng just stared at Chi Yueshan.
Watching her lively expressions change.
Xi Zhoumeng: “What are you angry about?”
Chi Yueshan: “I’m not angry, do you think I’m the kind of person who gets angry easily?”
Xi Zhoumeng was caught off guard, she blinked innocently, “I haven’t said anything yet.”
Chi Yueshan: “Don’t talk, it’s starting.”
After editing and sending her feed, she specifically showed it to Xuan Ping.
[Xuan Ping replied instantly: Wow!! A new movie! I really want to watch it too, the Lower World cinemas haven’t released it yet.]
[Chi Yueshan: It’s my first time watching! I hope it’s a good one.]
[Xuan Ping: It’s very good, it’s a fantasy romance movie, the kind…” no matter how many parallel universes there are, I’ll be selfless for you!”]
Speaking of this, Xuan Ping got excited, but because Chi Yueshan had just sat down, she could only wait for Chi Yueshan to finish watching before speaking.
After the movie started, Chi Yueshan glanced at Xi Zhoumeng in the dim light.
Xi Zhoumeng was sitting lazily, even though the only light source was the screen, her side profile was still charming.
Chi Yueshan thought: What romance movie? My romance is right here.
She pursed her lips and leaned back.
Xi Zhoumeng directly leaned on her shoulder.
Chi Yueshan whispered, “What are you doing?”
Xi Zhoumeng: “Tired.”
Even couples in other seats weren’t like this!
And you’re an Alpha, although you’re still a pseudo-Omega, why do you always have to lean on me!!
Chi Yueshan snorted but didn’t push Xi Zhoumeng away. She noticed that Shen Yu and Lan Lan were in the front row on the right.
These two Alphas were even more intimate than the AO couple next to them, sitting close together, anyone could think of the word “intimate.”
The person leaning on her shoulder, however, wasn’t intimate, she was just clingy.
The movie’s plot was similar to what Xuan Ping had said.
It was the story of a female AO couple. After the female Alpha’s Omega partner died unexpectedly, she gained a special ability: parallel universe travel.
There was also herself in the parallel universes, and to stay, she had to kill her counterpart in that universe.
But death was inevitable, every love ended in an accident.
This female Alpha had a graceful temperament, she was merciless when killing herself, but deeply affectionate towards her lover.
Even Chi Yueshan, who considered herself cold-hearted, cried.
The turning point was in another parallel universe, the protagonist Alpha didn’t choose to meet her destined Omega.
They didn’t have much interaction, they didn’t develop feelings.
They were classmates in different classes, passersby who brushed shoulders in the crowds after work.
But the protagonist Alpha still paid attention to her Omega.
In this universe, the Omega lived safely past the year of death, but the Alpha could only watch helplessly as she married another Alpha.
She was heartbroken, but she felt it was inevitable.
She went to another world and found that the Omega was different.
She was an Omega with congenital disabilities, bullied in school, and unable to cry.
Even if the lovers changed, their souls wouldn’t change. Even though the protagonist Alpha knew that if she didn’t get together with the Omega, the Omega would live.
But she couldn’t suppress the urge to protect her.
She still met her, got to know her, and inevitably fell in love.
Strangely, in this universe, until they got married, the Omega still didn’t have any accidents, she safely passed the year and day of death.
It was just that her congenital disease couldn’t be cured, they couldn’t get together, they couldn’t have children.
The protagonist Alpha was considered a weirdo, too much of a love-brain, caring for an Omega of little value.
She was naturally excellent, everything she did was effortless, the Alpha, who had never marked an Omega, even though she lived with someone for years, had countless suitors.
A few years later, the Omega finally couldn’t stand the gossip, she asked her partner.
Why did you choose me?
The Alpha told the truth, but the Omega felt that she only loved her dead self.
Not her living self.
When this scene played, the entire theater was filled with mournful sobs.
Chi Yueshan’s tears fell on Xi Zhoumeng’s face. Xi Zhoumeng handed her tissues and hugged her, whispering, “Is it that sad?”
Chi Yueshan ignored her, completely immersed in the sorrowful atmosphere.
Xi Zhoumeng looked at the screen, the Alpha actress half-squatting, looking at the Omega in the wheelchair——
“What are you thinking about, silly.”
Xi Zhoumeng thought: This is too cringy.
“Even if I have memories of the others, it doesn’t invalidate our meeting?”
“Every time I meet you, I’ll fall hopelessly in love with you.”
Chi Yueshan sniffed hard.
Then she bit her lip.
The Omega actress on the screen had a pure and lovely face, her eyes were red.
But she couldn’t cry, this character was born without tears.
She was born with problems, her growth period was all mesirable.
No family, no friends, she lived like a dead person.
“I’m not as good as you liked before, I, I can’t even run, ca, catch up with you…”
“There are so many, many better Omegas than me, they’re beautiful, excellent, and from good families…”
Even Xi Zhoumeng had to admit that the actress’s acting was top-notch, she could hold back her tears even like this, her trembling made her even more pitiful.
The Alpha stood up and hugged her, “Why do you care about others?”
“That’s someone else.”
The Alpha’s face was naturally charming, she was a top interstellar Alpha actress.
Even though Chi Yueshan was a small person from the Lower World, she had seen this actress’s works.
The movie’s lighting, scenes, and actors were all top-notch, and the kiss scenes were natural.
The kiss conveyed the feeling of eternal love, never ending until death.
By the end of the movie, the theater was filled with sobs, and Chi Yueshan was also sobbing.
Xi Zhoumeng found it funny again, she handed her another pack of tissues, “Are you really that moved?”
Chi Yueshan’s nose was red, her voice trembling, “It’s so touching, is this different from what the old antiques said thousands of years ago about life after life?”
Xi Zhoumeng, in this world and that world, never had late-night chats with her female classmates.
When her peers were discussing their crushes, she was slaughtering entire clans. Love was too obscure for her.
Yet, everyone instinctively yearned for it.
Like now, she really wanted to kiss Chi Yueshan’s nose.
Xi Zhoumeng: “Isn’t this a Happy End?”
“The kiss scenes and bed scenes are so good, isn’t it a good movie?”
Chi Yueshan: “You didn’t watch it seriously at all! You just slept on my shoulder, ate popcorn, and drank all my milk tea!”
Xi Zhoumeng: “Didn’t I feed you popcorn?”
Chi Yueshan: “I was busy watching the movie, and you kept disturbing me!”
Xi Zhoumeng almost laughed, “Okay, okay, it’s all my fault.”
She leaned over to hug Chi Yueshan, “Let’s go home after watching it, okay?”
Chi Yueshan nudged her aside, “Look at Xi Yongshi! So charming! So beautiful! Then look at you!”
Before Xi Zhoumeng could react, Chi Yueshan started calling Xuan Ping again, she didn’t forget to scold Xi Zhoumeng, “They’re both surnamed Xi’s, why is there such a difference?”
Before, the words “unreasonable and capricious” were exclusive to Xi Zhoumeng. This was the first time someone had been so unreasonable with her.
She took a deep breath, staring at Chi Yueshan, not knowing what to say for a long time.
Chi Yueshan: “I’m done watching! Pingping! It’s really super good, woo woo woo, this setting is so novel!!”
She didn’t know what Xuan Ping said, but Chi Yueshan nodded with tears in her eyes, “Xi Yongshi is so handsome, so charming, so gentle, husband-like wife, woo woo woo! Do you think the last world is a fan-made setting? Hahaha, I think so too!”
Xi Zhoumeng stood aside, holding Chi Yueshan tightly, afraid she would only talk to Xuan Ping and not watch the road.
When they came out, Xi Zhoumeng met Shen Yu at the parking lot. The powerful Imperial Marshal Shen Yu took off her mask in the dark and was wiping her tears. Lan Lan laughed and took pictures as evidence, saying she would post them in the group.
Xi Zhoumeng looked at Chi Yueshan, feeling a wave of sadness for the first time.
Shen Yu saw her and said hi, “Zhoumeng, did you think the movie was good?”
Xi Zhoumeng nodded.
Lan Lan: “You’re so old and still crying because of a movie, it’s so embarrassing.”
Shen Yu: “Crying for love is not embarrassing, if I had this ability, I wouldn’t have allowed you to pounce on me that time.”
Lan Lan’s smile froze.
Xi Zhoumeng stepped back in time, afraid that this couple’s twilight love would be too passionate and blind her eyes.
She opened the car door, Chi Yueshan was still mumbling inside, “I won’t substitute myself! Birth, old age, sickness, and death are common, I feel so tortured by traveling.”
She laughed again, “If I could choose? I want to choose a world different from mine, like I’m super rich…”
She didn’t know what Xuan Ping said, Chi Yueshan exclaimed, “Pingping, you’re so perverted! I don’t want that! Who would want that kind of body fragrance!”
Xi Zhoumeng turned on the autopilot and finally asked kindly, “Why do you two have so much to talk about? Did Xuan Ping’s girlfriend die?”
