Renting Movies with a Pretty Girl

Despite her grumbling, she still went to the inner room of the studio to change her clothes. After dawdling for a while, she finally came out wearing a long-sleeved outfit.

After observing carefully, Si Ming said, "Based on fluid mechanics, I think you're not wearing a bra."

Hongdou raised her hands and shouted, "I need freedom!" The little rabbit on her chest also trembled twice.

"What does freedom have to do with bras? Go change right now!"

Hongdou tilted her head and thought for a moment, then tentatively asked, "How about I let you touch this spot, and you just pretend you don't know anything?"

Si Ming scoffed dismissively, his gaze fixed straight ahead as he coldly stated, "Without a foundation of affection, a chest is no longer a chest. It loses its substance and becomes nothing more than a pile of fat. Even if you touch it, you won't feel happy; it's utterly worthless."

"But your eyes are fixed on my chest."

That's just your imagination!

In the end, Hongdou was pushed back into the inner room. After lingering there for a while, she reluctantly came out of the room, constantly fidgeting with her shoulders, as if she really couldn't get used to the feeling of the little rabbit losing her freedom.

"My hair is a mess; I didn't even bother to tidy it up after waking up."

After a series of ordeals, Si Ming clearly understood Hong Dou's self-care abilities, so he didn't expect Hongdou to be able to fix her makeup and had no choice but to take matters into his own hands.

He simply combed Hongdou's long hair a few times, then tied it all up with a rubber band. Looking at her from the front, even though he had expected it, he couldn't help but be amazed by her pure and natural beauty. Hongdou had long eyelashes, big eyes, and fair skin. Without any makeup, her appearance was very beautiful. Although she was slender and delicate, she was surprisingly well-endowed, which defied the common sense that "losing weight starts with losing breasts."

"It's a pity he's a natural airhead. While natural airheads in anime might be cute, real-life natural airheads are just as annoying as bratty kids."

Si Ming suddenly thought of Xiaolongnü from "The Return of the Condor Heroes." Although Xiaolongnü was also naturally naive, she was very smart. However, she had been isolated from the world for many years and lacked experience. She could be cured by interacting with more people and was still in the category of being salvageable. But the girl in front of him was clearly a fool, a critically ill patient who had already given up on treatment.

"Luckily, she's not ugly, otherwise she'd be practically terminally ill. A naturally naive beauty is somewhat tolerable."

There's no way around it, looks are everything; men are just such superficial creatures.

Hongdou asked excitedly, "Can we set off now?"

"Oh, I forgot to ask, where are we going? Is it far?"

"It's very close, right next to the cinema on the front street."

Si Ming thought for a moment and asked curiously, "Where are there shops that sell art supplies?"

Hongdou blinked, asking innocently, "I didn't say I wanted to buy art supplies. It's a video rental shop that just opened recently."

"Oh, what kind of movie do you want to watch, an art film?"

Hongdou shake their heads.

"Romance film?"

He shook his head again.

"It's not going to be an action movie, is it?"

Hongdou looked thoughtful, then immediately came up with a perfect answer and confidently declared, "It's a romantic art film!"

"I can't walk anymore..."

Hongdou leaned against a street lamp, head down, panting heavily, looking like she had just finished a marathon.

"Your stamina is terrible! You've only walked less than two kilometers," Si Ming said, rubbing his forehead. "I heard from Auntie Liu that once she was so busy that she forgot to call you for dinner, and you sat and drew for ten hours straight. From that perspective, your stamina should be better than the average person."

Don't be fooled by the fact that painting only requires sitting and seems easy; it actually takes more energy than military training. Not only do they have to concentrate, but the chairs they sit on have no backrests, so they either have to sit up straight or lean forward while painting, which is quite strenuous.

"However, when I'm painting, there's no process; I don't feel the passage of time at all. I only start to feel tired after Auntie Liu wakes me up. I don't feel fatigued at all during the process. This is a phased exertion, while walking is a continuous exertion. I feel more tired with every step I take."

"Stop making it sound like a game. Let's hurry up, it's just two more blocks away."

Hongdou raised her hands and said, "You carry me on your back."

Si Ming glanced subconsciously at the other woman's ample chest, then shook his head, shaking off those pinkish thoughts, and said seriously, "You rely on your own two legs to walk. You don't get much exercise and your lifestyle is unhealthy. This is a good opportunity to exercise so you won't be weak and sickly in the future."

He knew very well that even if Hongdou were to run a 5,000-meter marathon, she could actually do it, because this world has Internal Cultivation can largely replenish the energy consumed.

Despite her frail appearance, Hongdou possesses Level Six Inner Cultivation, which is the average level of a university freshman. She practices the "Representational Freehand Technique" created by Painting School's disciple, which allows her to naturally circulate her True Qi while painting, thus achieving a balance between the two.

Hongdou is obsessed with painting, wishing she could sit in front of her easel 24/7. This means she spends far more time cultivating Internal Cultivation than the average person. It's not surprising that she reached Level Six Inner Cultivation at the age of fifteen. Moreover, her martial arts talent is also quite outstanding. It's just that compared to her painting talent, it's like a firefly in front of the bright moon, which is why people subconsciously overlook it.

"Xiao Ming doesn't know how to be considerate; no girl will like you like that."

"You don't need to worry about that... If you're willing to change the way you're called 'Xiao Ming,' I'll carry you on my back."

Hongdou tilted her head and thought for a moment, then patted her trouser leg, stood up and said, "Let's hurry up and go, or it'll get dark."

About ten minutes later, the two finally arrived at their destination, a small rental shop located in a small alley just around the corner from the movie theater. Judging from the storefront, it was actually a fairly proper rental shop, with recently released movies displayed on the shelves.

"It's said that the owner here is related to the cinema manager, so sometimes they secretly copy movies that are currently showing and rent them to customers," Hongdou explained to Si Ming.

Si Ming asked curiously, "How do you know about these things, you're a shut-in who spends all day drawing at home?"

This world doesn't have civilian internet access, so people who stay at home can't gather information without leaving their houses like they could on Earth in the 21st century.

"Auntie Liu told me."

"Including porn?"

Hongdou didn't answer. Instead, she looked at a hair salon in the alley and asked, "Why is that hair salon called 'Editorial Department'? It's so strange!"

Si Ming looked in the direction he was looking and saw several heavily made-up women inside the hair salon. He twitched his lips and said, "It's probably because it says 'any length is fine, feel free to come and get it done.' Anyway, it's not a respectable place. Let's go inside."
