Young Couple Caught Kissing by Cinema Staff-Utterly Mortifying!

Cold white light poured down from the ceiling of the corridor, stretching out the silhouettes of two people standing side by side until they crossed and overlapped.

Shao Enci gazed at the girl before him with dark, brooding eyes. Without releasing her wrist, he explained in a low voice, "That prank just now was Qiu Boye's idea from start to finish."

"I know."

Lu Xiaoxiao had no mind to dwell on such a trivial matter. The task issued by the system kept echoing through her head. She grabbed his wrist in return and started back the way they had come. "Come back to that screening room with me. There's something very important I need to tell you."

The young man halted, his narrow eyes darkening as he said sarcastically, "You mean you didn't invite me to the movies alone today? The real main event was He Xi's confession, and Qiu Boye and I were just tools you used to set other people up. Is that it?"

This was the most long-winded Shao Enci had ever been since he'd met her.

He had always been rational and practical, planning his time down to every minute and second. He could spend his precious time on a date, but he didn't want to waste it on other people.

Lu Xiaoxiao stopped in a daze and turned to look at the young man's gloomy face. She couldn't help snickering.

She was obviously the one who should have been angry, so how had he ended up being the one in a temper?

"What are you laughing at?" Shao Enci lowered his eyes and spoke in a lukewarm tone.

"Nothing."

Without explaining, Lu Xiaoxiao pulled him along and pushed open the door to the fake screening room nine.

The screening room was still pitch-black.

By the dim light, she pushed the tall Shao Enci straight back against the cold wall. She braced her arms on either side of him in a textbook wall slam.

The darkness blurred his features, but she could still clearly make out the searing emotions surging in his eyes.

An intimate tension spread unchecked through the enclosed space.

Shao Enci looked down at the girl standing a head shorter than him. His Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and his voice dropped. "Lu Xiaoxiao, do you have to communicate this way?"

He put on a calm front as he questioned her, but his body was exceedingly honest. He obediently pressed his back against the wall without the slightest resistance.

Lu Xiaoxiao rose on tiptoe and leaned close to his ear, her warm breath brushing its rim as she gave him a warning in advance. "What I'm about to do might be a little perverted. If you can't accept it, just pretend I've lost my mind."

The young man's fingers instinctively curled and tightened. Though he couldn't see clearly, he could smell the faint scent of lychee and roses on her. The lingering French kiss they had shared at Happy Valley yesterday replayed in his mind, leaving the tip of his tongue a little dry.

Shao Enci's gaze darkened, his breathing gradually growing uneven. His voice was hoarse. "You..."

Before he could get the rest out, soft, warm lips covered his thin ones.

It was a simple, pure press of lips, without any aggression.

Shao Enci's eyelashes fluttered. He felt none of the bewilderment and shock he had felt when she had forced a kiss on him the first two times; he had already grown used to her overbearing ways.

But there was one thing he couldn't understand. Did she need a reason to kiss him?

If she would just take the initiative and say, "Let's date," he would let her kiss him wherever she liked.

Just then, 037 prompted: [Xiaoxiao, it has to be a French kiss. Make it passionate if you can.]

Lu Xiaoxiao: "???"

She silently complained that this system was far too improper.

Complaints aside, she could only reluctantly compromise to complete the task.

After hesitating for a moment, she cautiously, tentatively slipped the tip of her tongue between the young man's lips and teeth. Her movements were awkward and clumsy as she slowly explored.

The inexperienced, straightforward touch instantly ignited the desire lying dormant in the young man's heart.

One arm tightened around her waist, pulling her whole body into his embrace. His other hand clasped the back of her head, his fingers burying themselves deep in her hair. He took control, hooking his tongue around hers and kissing her deeply and hard.

Shao Enci's kiss carried a possessiveness unique to a young man, tangling with hers and plundering at will.

In the enclosed, pitch-black screening room, the air gradually grew warmer.

Lu Xiaoxiao went limp under his kisses, her cheeks so hot they were almost burning.

Fortunately, the darkness concealed all her shyness and embarrassment.

They kissed for nearly three minutes before Shao Enci finally released her, when Lu Xiaoxiao was almost out of breath. His thumb brushed lightly over her slightly reddened lower lip, and his voice was as low and rough as sandpaper scraping over satin. "Lu Xiaoxiao, you don't even know how to catch your breath, yet you're so enthusiastic."

The task wasn't over yet.

"Keep going."

Her breathing was still unsteady, but she rose on tiptoe and wrapped both arms around his neck again.

Shao Enci's pupils contracted slightly.

Those two simple words were a deadly invitation to a vigorous eighteen-year-old.

Shao Enci's narrow, phoenix-shaped eyes darkened. He lifted her by the waist, changed position, and pressed her back against the wall. Bending his head, he covered those soft lips once more.

At first, the kiss was somewhat restrained and gentle, but as their breathing grew hotter and heavier, it deepened.

The two of them became utterly absorbed in the lingering kiss, and Lu Xiaoxiao had no attention to spare even for the system's notifications in her head.

More than ten long minutes passed.

Just as the two were kissing, unable to tear themselves apart, the screening room's main lights all snapped on, filling the enclosed space with blinding white light.

A senior cinema executive had booked the private screening room especially as a treat for the staff who had been working hard and putting in overtime. No one had expected to find a young couple kissing passionately in a corner of the room.

The employees all froze on the spot and looked at one another, the atmosphere becoming unbearably awkward.

The executive's face stiffened. Bracing himself, he demanded in a stern voice, "Who's there?!"

The sudden voice shattered the intimate atmosphere.

Shao Enci turned with a hostile expression, the desire in his eyes not yet faded. His voice was cold and harsh. "You don't even recognize me anymore?"

Once the executive saw the young man's cool, distinguished face clearly, his own face turned deathly pale.

Who could have imagined that the Guanghuan Group's usually low-profile young heir would show up at the company's own cinema in private, and even be here... sharing an intimate, passionate kiss with someone?

"I'm sorry, Young President Shao! We were blind not to recognize you and disturbed you so abruptly."

The dozen or so employees behind him held their breath and whispered among themselves, but their faint voices reached the pair's ears clearly.

"Oh my god, is that really Young President Shao? A real-life wealthy heir in love..."

"He's only eighteen, and he's already so smooth? No wonder we've never seen him show his face."

"We're done for. We caught the big boss in a private moment today. Is he going to make life difficult for us?"

Lu Xiaoxiao was already so mortified she wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it. Instinctively, she buried her head and covered her face tightly with both hands. While everyone was still stunned, she broke free of Shao Enci's embrace and fled.

The young man shot the manager an icy glare, then turned and strode after the fleeing girl with his long legs.

"Lu Xiaoxiao, why are you running?" Shao Enci caught up in a few strides and reached out to block her path, a teasing smile on his face. "Weren't you the one who forced a kiss on me first?"

The girl came to an abrupt halt and clapped a hand over his swollen lips, both embarrassed and angry. "Can you keep your voice down? Do you have to let everyone in the cinema know what we were just doing?"

Shao Enci lowered his eyes to her crimson cheeks and the cherry lips he had kissed swollen. His gaze deepened, and his mouth curved into an attractive smile. "So that's why you asked me to come to the cinema."

Admit it, Lu Xiaoxiao. You like me too.

His stare made Lu Xiaoxiao flustered. She dropped her hand in a huff and pursed her lips. "I really didn't expect you to be the owner of this cinema too."

"Happy Valley belongs to my family too," Shao Enci said casually.

Lu Xiaoxiao's eyes widened, and she froze.

She stood there stunned before it suddenly dawned on her. Yesterday at Happy Valley, she had used special access to go on the rides without queuing. She had thought the staff had let her through because she was pretty, but it had actually been out of consideration for the young heir beside her.

"Then why did you never tell me before?"

"I didn't want to flaunt my wealth," Shao Enci explained calmly.

Lu Xiaoxiao was momentarily at a loss for words, with nothing to say in response.

When the two entered screening room nine and pushed open the main doors, romantic, gentle background music washed over them. Warm yellow light strips mingled with a sea of flowers, creating a perfect atmosphere.

He Xi had already succeeded in his confession. He was holding Meng Yuan's hand as they received the good wishes of the friends present.

In a corner, Qiu Boye leaned lazily against a seat, watching with keen interest. He joined the crowd around him in loudly egging them on, his voice exuberant. "Kiss! Kiss!"

Lu Xiaoxiao looked at him and sighed silently.

She had never seen someone cheer and offer good wishes when another man confessed to his fiancée.

Standing beside her, Shao Enci twitched the corner of his mouth and asked, "Did you do this on purpose?"

"...Yeah."

He was silent for a moment. Then he glanced at Qiu Boye, who was thoroughly enjoying the spectacle, and said only, "Well done."

If he found out later that his wife had been kissing and hugging someone else, he would probably wish he could cry himself unconscious in the bathroom.

(Qiu Boye: It won't be as simple as crying myself unconscious in the bathroom. I'll jump straight off a building and kill myself...)

Author: Meng Yuan didn't kiss He Xi. Everyone was just egging them on to kiss, but Meng Yuan was shy and didn't!! What I wrote about "If he found out later that his wife had been kissing and hugging someone else, he would probably wish he could cry himself unconscious in the bathroom" is foreshadowing, babies. You'll see when you read on.
