Chapter 989 - 898: It’d Be Crazy If This Doesn’t Blow Up
Lu Qing, following Qin Miaomiao’s instructions, bought the latest historical martial arts movie, "Qin Dynasty Chronicles".Beside the poster for "Qin Dynasty Chronicles", there was a large promotional ad. Handsome men and beautiful women were lined up, truly dazzling. A typical Mo’s Film style.
Lu Qing had his calculations and decisively bought the tickets.
Ten minutes later, as Lu Qing was waiting impatiently, Qin Miaomiao jogged into the cinema.
Qin Miaomiao had just rushed here from the company.
Today was the day the young director’s movie was released, so she naturally had to show up. However, she was held up by another issue at the company, and after dealing with it, she hurriedly set off, only to be caught in traffic. Luckily, Lu Qing wasn’t angry.
But seeing Lu Qing, and then reflecting on herself, Qin Miaomiao felt a bit guilty.
Lu Qing had a faint scent of cologne, which was the brand she liked. The top notes were elegant and serene, complemented by bergamot and grapefruit in the middle, refreshingly inviting one to come closer. They had chosen this cologne together.
Even though Lu Qing’s outfit today didn’t make a big statement, every detail was meticulously crafted: his chin was clean-shaven, his hair neat and tidy, a metal ring hung around his neck, a ring on his hand, and his clothing was crisp — entirely comparable to a men’s fashion magazine photo shoot.
In contrast, she had rushed over, her hair disheveled, a few strands caught in her mouth, with a slight sweat on her body. Sweat meant a bit of odor. Much of her makeup was gone, and due to work, she wasn’t wearing her wedding ring.
The two stood ten meters apart, and neither took a step further.
Qin Miaomiao closed her eyes for a moment, almost wanting to flee. But they had been together for a long time, and it wasn’t about one not deserving the other. Qin Miaomiao just felt sorry for not matching Lu Qing’s "date" effort.
Lu Qing didn’t think much. When he saw the two promotional posters, he already knew Qin Miaomiao’s intention.
Qin Miaomiao always had a nonchalant attitude towards movie promotions, so she must be preparing something big. Her inviting him today was surely related to this big surprise.
As long as it was his beloved wife’s decision, he would support it unconditionally.
Lu Qing extended his right hand to Qin Miaomiao, palm up, smiling quietly.
All of Qin Miaomiao’s previous thoughts vanished with his smile. Without hesitation, she walked towards him, held his hand, and entered the screening room.
Due to insufficient advertising for the new film previously, the premiere’s results were poor.
Looking at the sparse audience around, Lu Qing secretly asked Qin Miaomiao, "Do you need my help?"
Qin Miaomiao laughed and said, "Why are you always thinking of helping? Don’t you trust my judgment and decisions?"
This question seemed a bit serious. Lu Qing wouldn’t agree to that.
"I just want to help you."
Qin Miaomiao leaned on Lu Qing’s shoulder.
In the screening room, only the big screen was lit, everything else was dark. Even knowing there were people not far away and being able to see shadows, Qin Miaomiao still had the illusion that they were alone in the room.
Lu Qing clearly understood why couples liked going to the cinema for dates. Doing something private in a public place was indeed extra thrilling.
Lu Qing was naturally inclined to make a move.
But soon, Lu Qing was captivated by the movie.
The adorably clumsy protagonist, the humorous yet detailed settings, and the clever twists tightly gripped Lu Qing’s attention. As the movie concluded with the final scene, Lu Qing followed the hero standing alone in the wind and resonated with the character’s emotions.
The movie ended unconsciously.
The entire screening room plunged into darkness, and soon the overhead lights came on.
Lu Qing earnestly said, "That was a great film. It’d be crazy if it doesn’t become a hit."
