Chapter 808: Chapter 798: Premiere

Su Qing seemed quite casual about Shen Yi’s arrangements; he’s just visiting anyway, so he’ll go along with however the host plans it. After all, he’s not familiar with the area—anywhere is as good as anywhere else!

They went down the hill; the county town has its advantages, at least the roads aren’t so congested, though this might also be attributed to the fact that most people don’t pay much attention to the May Day holiday.

They returned home, took a quick shower, changed clothes, and Shen Yi drove him around Anhai City.

Out in the suburbs, Shen Yi accelerated the car considerably, opened the windows, and the wind brushing against their faces felt quite good.

At least the two hadn’t had a chance to relax together for a long time; the last time was camping in October last year.

Then they made a special trip to visit Shen Yi’s elementary, middle, and high schools.

Especially high school—Shen Yi took him to eat chicken leg rice across from the school, and though it tasted quite ordinary to him, Shen Yi ate it enthusiastically.

She graduated from there more than ten years ago; after graduating, she’s been working in the capital and seldom returns home, so she feels quite nostalgic about home.

"Sis isn’t bragging to you—back then, I was the school beauty at Number One High School, so many people were after me, and I received so many confessions and love letters I’ve lost count. So, about that gift from your elementary school friend, I don’t care at all, really, I don’t care!"

Shen Yi crossed her arms over her chest, looking proud, while occasionally glancing sideways at his expression.

[Zhang Wuji’s mom said, the prettier the woman, the better she is at deceiving people. If you really believe it, then your good days are numbered. When women become petty, they can absolutely open your eyes wide!]

Hearing the narration in his head, Su Qing felt like he wanted to die—where’s the trust between people?

Moreover, how am I supposed to play dumb with you acting like it’s a self-deception scenario?

Then he clapped his hands and said, "Wow~~~ so impressive—I didn’t expect my dear Yi to be so popular. It seems I’m really lucky to have beaten out so many rivals to chase you down!"

In this type of situation, it’s absolutely critical not to directly address the issue of that elementary school friend’s gift; otherwise, a small matter could become a big one. Just compliment her—really lay it on thick.

Sure enough, hearing this made Shen Yi’s mouth curl into a slight smile: "See, now you’d better be nice to your elder sister. If I’m happy enough, I might even go with you to Jiang City to get a marriage certificate!

Wait a minute, when exactly did you chase after me? Clearly it was my hard work that paid off. If I waited for you, this blockhead, to confess, wouldn’t that take forever?

But on second thought, why do I feel like I’m losing out?"

In response to this, Su Qing sighed, "How about... you run now, and I’ll chase you? I’ll give you a 39-meter head start, haha, little lady, don’t run, play with grandpa a bit!"

Shen Yi lightly rubbed her forehead, "Fine, forget it—no means no. Pursuit isn’t being a freak!"

"Uh... isn’t this all based on your preferences? After all, when it comes to being a freak..."

"Hmm??"

Hearing him say this, Shen Yi glared at him instantly, scaring Su Qing into silence.

After wandering outside for half a day, they finally found a place to settle down in the afternoon.

Today was cloudy with light rain, making the weather feel rather refreshing, and in the afternoon, Su Qing finally met Shen Yi’s friends.

In a private room for afternoon tea, two women surrounded Su Qing, scrutinizing him back and forth.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you did well, little Yi—snagged such a little guy so easily? I used to think you liked mature ones!"

"Right, you brought him home to meet the folks—what’s the deal; is this good news on the horizon? Say, when are you planning to marry? We can’t be bridesmaids anymore, but we can still join the party."

Looking at the two women, Su Qing had to admit he was a little nervous. Mainly, their gazes were a bit... too direct, with no sense of subtlety whatsoever.

According to Shen Yi, one woman was her high school classmate, and the other was both her middle school and high school classmate. They’ve known each other for over ten years.

"Wang Siyu, Yuan Fei—both married, don’t like kids, lazy and gluttonous women!" Shen Yi white-eyed them from her seat.

Meeting Shen Yi’s friends didn’t pose any difficulty for Su Qing; it’s quite natural, just like he introduced Wang Xing to Shen Yi.

"Hello, I’m Su Qing!"

Su Qing greeted them with a smile.

"I know you—Stock God. You look pretty handsome; much better than online photos, no wonder little Yi couldn’t resist. Ah, I’m married, feeling regretful!" Wang Siyu patted his shoulder, laughing.

Then Yuan Fei spoke, "I personally prefer Old Huang, but Old Wang’s right! Had I known, I wouldn’t have married so early either—seeking out a younger one seems good too, young and healthy, haha!"

Su Qing:...

What to say—these two women feel even more intense than a landlady, not because of the car speed, but a sort of uninhibited, say-whatever mindset; lacking a bit of feminine reserve and embracing more masculine candor.

Is this what they call the tigresses among housewives?

Seeing his expression like this, Shen Yi glared at the two before speaking to him:

"Don’t mind the two of them; they’re married and have no filter—it will get worse if you don’t stop them. Speak less self-consciously and remember that a kid’s in kindergarten while you’re always joking around!"

Hearing this, Wang Siyu immediately retorted, "Oh, feeling protective now—new fling and forgotten friends? Switching in a new crowd for the old?"

"The others are cozying up together, not like us. If Li Ying and the others were here, it’d be lively. Speaking of which, brother, let me ask you—when you first got together with little Yi, you really didn’t know anything? Did she teach you everything?" Yuan Fei asked curiously.

Su Qing: ???

What kind of tigress-talk is this—belittling me? He then looked at Shen Yi.

At this moment, Shen Yi’s face was lined with black, flushed red.

"Hey hey, don’t pry into everything; if you miss your men, go home to them. My boyfriend is young—don’t teach nonsense!"

Shen Yi pounded the table, obviously fearing that her two friends would say anything.

Given what was spoken at the New Year, these women couldn’t possibly write down what they said, or they’d surely be censored.

At the same time, ’Life-changing Matters’ and ’Demon Capital Fortress’ had both begun their screenings.

’Demon Capital Fortress’ started at 8 AM, and ’Life-changing Matters’ at 10 AM.

The May Day schedule differs from the New Year schedule, requiring one film a day to maintain hype; but over May Day, there are just those two days, even if the release needs to squeeze in.

Though only half a day’s passed, the internet wasn’t calm anymore.

A viewer who watched ’Demon Capital Fortress’ commented under its promo video:

"Rivva, refund! This is a scam!"
