The Future Father-in-Law and Mother-in-Law Arrive

At one in the afternoon, the two arrived at Tianjie, a commercial complex next to the University of Finance and Economics.

"What floor is the cinema on?"

"...I don't know."

"?" Jiang Qiuyi asked in surprise, "You haven't been here before?"

"I've been twice, I think." Chen Wen frowned as he looked at the unfamiliar Tianjie. "Both times I was with my roommates, I don't remember the way."

Commercial complexes nowadays, their internal structures are more complex than the last, as if they want to turn the place into a maze, so that consumers can never get out.

"It's a commercial complex right next to our own school..." Jiang Qiuyi helplessly put her hand to her forehead, thinking that figuring out such a place should be basic.

According to the internal map by the stairs, the two successfully found the Tianjie Cinema on the fourth floor. After redeeming their movie tickets, they entered with coke and popcorn.

Following the stairs all the way up, Chen Wen sat down with Jiang Qiuyi in the couple's seats in the last row.

He turned his head to glance at the girl beside him. In the dim yellow light, her skin was as tempting as cake, instantly reminding Chen Wen of the time they watched a movie together last month.

"What's wrong?" Noticing Chen Wen's gaze, Jiang Qiuyi asked, confused.

"Nothing." Chen Wen put down the coke and leaned back in his chair. "I just suddenly thought about the last time we watched a movie."

Speaking of this, Jiang Qiuyi, who was usually bold, suddenly blushed. She playfully hit Chen Wen's thigh, "Don't mention it, it's so embarrassing~"

Chen Wen immediately fell silent.

Glancing at Chen Wen, Jiang Qiuyi saw that he had really stopped talking and felt a little annoyed. She nudged him with her elbow and asked curiously, "After you were confessed to that day, how did you feel?"

"Uh... didn't we agree not to mention it?"

"I want to ask, so I'll ask." Jiang Qiuyi snorted, "Hurry up and tell me~"

Chen Wen was stumped. After a moment of thought, he carefully said, "At first, I was in disbelief, right?"

Jiang Qiuyi rolled her eyes at him. "Then what about after you confirmed it was real?"

"Hmm... I didn't think too much about it at the time." Chen Wen said honestly. "After walking out of the cinema, I saw you following behind looking very dejected, so I instinctively reached out."

A smile crept onto her lips. Jiang Qiuyi leaned on Chen Wen's shoulder, holding Chen Wen's right hand with both of her small hands, playing with it while asking, "What about now?"

"Now..." Chen Wen turned his head to look at Jiang Qiuyi's delicate profile, reached out and held her small hands in his palms. "Now, I feel like this is very good."

Hearing Chen Wen's answer, Jiang Qiuyi's eyes immediately crinkled into a smile. She leaned her head forward and kissed Chen Wen on the cheek.

Feeling the softness of the girl's lips, Chen Wen recalled Jiang Qiuyi's routine when he woke up this morning and instinctively turned his other cheek over. "And here too."

Jiang Qiuyi was stunned for a moment, then forcefully patted Chen Wen's hand, lowered her head with a blush and laughed, "You've gotten naughty."

Chen Wen, who had snapped back to reality, felt a bit awkward and turned his head away, pretending nothing had happened.

However, Jiang Qiuyi had already reached out her small hand, cupped his face, and turned his head back. "Mwah~" she stamped a kiss on him.

Burying herself in Chen Wen's chest, the shy Jiang Qiuyi whispered, "Satisfied?"

Chen Wen proactively put his arm around Jiang Qiuyi's waist, pulling her into his embrace, and nodded in response, "Mm."

The movie started, and the two finally quieted down.

Chen Wen held the popcorn in his lap, and Jiang Qiuyi would feed him a mouthful for every mouthful she took. She also drank Chen Wen's coke first, and then they drank Jiang Qiuyi's together after she finished.

The plot of Dying to Survive was very moving. Towards the end, Jiang Qiuyi's tears started to flow uncontrollably, she was deeply touched.

Chen Wen had always been slow to feel things in this regard; he simply thought the plot was good.

When the movie ended and the lights in the hall came on, Chen Wen noticed a damp coolness on his chest.

Jiang Qiuyi had wiped all her tears onto his clothes.

After leaving the cinema, perhaps because the movie atmosphere had dissipated, Jiang Qiuyi quickly emerged from her emotional state. She held Chen Wen's arm and earnestly discussed the movie's plot.

The two sat down in a milk tea shop to rest for a while. Chen Wen listened to Jiang Qiuyi talk, occasionally replying. Then, he felt his phone vibrate.

He took it out and saw it was a call, with the contact labeled "Aunt Lu (Jiang Qiuyi's mother)".

Seeing this call, Chen Wen obviously froze. He showed the phone screen to Jiang Qiuyi.

"Huh? Why is my mom calling you?" Jiang Qiuyi asked, confused. "You should answer it?"

Chen Wen nodded, pressed the answer button, and put it on speakerphone. "Hello, Aunt Lu."

"Hello, Xiao Chen." A kind voice came from the other end of the phone. "Qiuqiu's phone is off, I wanted to ask if you know where she is? Didn't she say she finished her exams this morning?"

Chen Wen turned his head and looked at Jiang Qiuyi in confusion, only to see her take out her phone and stick out her tongue sheepishly.

She had turned off her phone while watching the movie and forgot to turn it back on afterward.

She pointed to Chen Wen's phone and beckoned him, indicating she would take it.

"She's right next to me, you can tell her directly if you need anything." Chen Wen said, handing the phone to Jiang Qiuyi.

"Hello, Mom~" Jiang Qiuyi called sweetly, then explained, "I was watching a movie just now, so my phone was off. What's up?"

"Oh, I see." Aunt Lu didn't suspect anything, so she didn't ask further and said directly, "Your dad is coming to Hu City for a business trip, so I'm accompanying him. We should arrive this evening."

"Didn't you just finish your exams? I was wondering if you're free for dinner tonight."

"Xiao Chen is with you, right? Ask him to come along too. It's been a while since we last saw him."

Jiang Qiuyi raised an eyebrow when she heard her parents were coming to Hu City at this time. She gave Chen Wen a half-smile, then nodded in agreement, "Sure."

"Chen Wen and I are at Tianjie, next to the University of Finance and Economics. How about we have dinner here? I wanted to do some more shopping anyway."

"Is it convenient for you two to come here?"

Aunt Lu didn't reply immediately. She checked the map and confirmed that Tianjie wasn't far from their hotel before saying, "Alright, Tianjie it is. You two can look at what you want to eat first, and I'll call you when it's time."

"Okay~"

Jiang Qiuyi hung up the phone, returned it to Chen Wen, and looked at him with a grin, "So, how are you feeling? It's the first time you're meeting my parents since we got together, are you nervous?"

"Should I tell them directly about our current relationship?" Chen Wen asked back.

"Of course not," Jiang Qiuyi immediately shook her head. "If I tell them now, it'll mess with my plans. I was planning to tell them when I go back for the summer."

"Then I'm not nervous."

"Really?" Jiang Qiuyi didn't believe him. "Shouldn't you be even more nervous at a time like this?"

Chen Wen looked confused. "It's just dinner."

"Who knows," Jiang Qiuyi intertwined her fingers and traced them along the table to Chen Wen's hand. She bit her lip and said shyly, "I'm afraid I won't be able to help myself and act like this during dinner. I'm so nervous."
