Chapter 4691: Qin and Huo’s Additional Story (21)
The cinema near Huo Mian’s home could only be described with one word: rundown.
It was a commoner’s area in the first place. It was difficult selling to the people living here.
Therefore, when the two of them arrived, there weren’t many people in the cinema. There were only three couples sitting in the hall.
Huo Mian followed behind Qin Chu without saying anything. Qin Chu went straight to the front desk to buy tickets.
It was only then that Huo Mian saw that although the theater was dilapidated, the posters were new.
A foreign girl in a red dress, holding a cool weapon.
There were two big words on the poster—Resident Evil.
Huo Mian didn’t like to play games, so she didn’t play it when Resident Evil was released.
She did not really understand what kind of film this was.
When she walked in with Qin Chu, it was 9:50 PM.
Sitting in the dilapidated cinema, there were only seven people in the entire hall.
After the movie was started playing, Huo Mian realized that she had been tricked by this guy.
Because she was not prepared beforehand and the name did not look like a low-cla.s.s horror film.
Therefore, Huo Mian thought that it was a movie to watch while eating popcorn.
While Qin Chu bought tickets, she also bought c.o.ke and popcorn. They sat side by side on the fifth row.
The fifth row was actually very close to the screen. At that time, there were no 3D movies to speak of.
Especially in a small movie theater like this, Huo Mian happily sat in the first row, waiting to watch a movie enjoyably.
As soon as it started, a scene of a zombie appeared without any warning.
The visual stimulation and sound effects scared Huo Mian.
Then, she subconsciously moved closer to Qin Chu…
However, this guy was even more tactless and asked her as if nothing had happened, “Are you okay?”
“I’m… fine.” Huo Mian gritted her teeth.
It had to be said that Qin Chu was really happy the entire time.
As he was a player of the game version of Resident Evil, he had a resonance with this movie.
After learning that it was a zombie film, Huo Mian wasn’t that scared anymore.
It was rather exciting to watch the story unfold.
It was about a supercomputer that got infected with a virus and became a big villain, turning scientists into zombies.
Hence, the protagonist started to fight zombies endlessly…
This type of film hadn’t been popular in the country in the earlier years, so when it first appeared, it indeed became very popular.
Qin Chu had actually seen it once before at a movie theater downtown.
However, because he thought it was good, he decided to watch it again with Huo Mian.
Of course, he also meant it partly as a prank. The truth was, she was indeed frightened at the beginning.
She couldn’t help but stick close to Qin Chu…
After watching the movie, it was already 11 PM.
After walking out of the cinema, Qin Chu asked her, “Are you hungry?”
“I’m okay.” Huo Mian didn’t pretend to be hungry and rubbed her stomach.
“Shall we go for barbecue then?”
“I’m fine with anything,” Huo Mian said. She was indeed an easygoing girl back then.
“Won’t your mother nag at you if you go home late?” he asked.
“I told my mom I’d be with my cla.s.smates. She won’t worry.”
The truth was, Yang Meirong’s control over Huo Mian was quite lax.
This might have something to do with Huo Mian’s grades.
Her own child always got first place. There was no doubt about it. Could you still ask her to do homework at home every day?
“Let’s have some barbecue then.”
Qin Chu was in a good mood. He didn’t eat much during the company meeting, so he was a little hungry.
He took Huo Mian around her house and finally found a small shop that was open 24/7.
