Super Soldier in the City

Chapter 177 I’m So Angry

Chapter 177: Chapter 177 I’m So Angry"Xu Shanshan, you little wretch!" Xu Yingying was so angry that she almost threw her phone away. Her eyes narrowed as she said, "Sister Fangqing, let’s go find her."

He Fangqing immediately asked, "Do you know how many movie theaters there are in Mile City? And where they all are?"

Xu Yingying was at a loss for words. Though she had been working in Mile City for several years, she had never watched a single movie. She had no idea how many theaters there were or where to locate them. She quickly said, "I can use the navigation to find them."

"Then give it a try."

Xu Yingying typed ’movie theater’ into the navigation app and found six cinemas. Apart from the two in the city center, the others were spread out. If they were to

Xu Yingying, having no choice, drove He Fangqing back home; Fangqing’s current place of residence was not far from her own. Then, she returned to her own home, only to find that Xu Shanshan was indeed not there. This aggravated her even more. She tried calling Xu Shanshan numerous times, but Shanshan had simply turned off her phone. When she called Li Yifei, he had also switched off his phone, which infuriated Yingying to the point where she really wanted to catch the two of them and give them a scolding.

Li Yifei was unaware of Xu Yingying’s frustration. He was currently with Michelle, both holding a bag of popcorn and some other snacks, sitting inside the movie theatre.

The movie hadn’t started yet, and with some concern, Michelle said, "Brother Li, President Xu just called you, are you really not going back?"

"No, it’s after work hours now, why should I listen to her?"

"But... the company is so busy right now, President Xu must have something important for you. It won’t be good if you don’t go."

"There’s nothing bad about it. These things, whether done a day earlier or later, won’t make much difference. We’re already here, and we’ve bought the movie tickets. Wouldn’t it be a waste if we didn’t watch it?"

Michelle felt a sweetness in her heart and sneakily glanced at Li Yifei, whispering, "It’s not a lot of money anyway, we could watch it another time when we have a chance."

"It’s fine, I’ve been worn out today, I want to relax a bit," said Li Yifei as he grabbed a handful of popcorn and threw it into his mouth. He hadn’t even had dinner yet, so he had to make do with this snack to stave off the hunger.

At that moment, the lights in the theater dimmed, and the movie started playing. Michelle and Li Yifei ceased their conversation.

The movie showing today was a romance film. Li Yifei was not particularly fond of such movies, but nor did he dislike them, especially since he was genuinely going to be in a relationship with Su Yiyi; watching such a movie could make him relate a bit, so he wasn’t too downhearted.

Michelle, on the other hand, was thoroughly engrossed in the movie, and even discreetly wiped her tears during the touching moments. She was a very emotional girl.

After the movie ended, Michelle was still immersed in the plot, her eyes slightly red. This prompted Li Yifei to say with a bit of amusement, "Is it really that moving?"

"It’s so touching, especially when the male lead risked his life to save the female lead. It was so heartwarming. If there were a man like that who would risk his life to save me, I would marry him without a moment’s hesitation." As she said this, Michelle suddenly thought of the incident that had happened in the elevator; although nothing had come of it, it was only because the elevator hadn’t truly malfunctioned. If it had, then Li Yifei would have been genuinely risking his life to save her.

"Everything in movies is made up; you believe that?" Li Yifei laughed, shaking his head.

"Of course I believe it. Some things from movies do happen in real life." Michelle really wanted to say that Li Yifei was like the movie’s male lead, but she still didn’t have the courage to say so.

"Heh, no wonder these movies make money. Turns out it’s all of you young girls who like them. Eh, when did it start raining so hard?"

"Ah, yeah, it’s raining really heavily."

When they arrived at the theater’s entrance, they saw the rain pouring outside, and the ground had already formed small streams of accumulated water.

At the entrance, a crowd of people who didn’t expect such weather hadn’t brought umbrellas, and with the rain pouring down at night, the girls didn’t have sun umbrellas, making it quite troublesome to go outside.

"Michelle!"

Li Yifei and Michelle were standing at the door. Their car was parked about ten meters in front of the theater door. With the heavy rain, heading straight out would certainly soak them, so they decided to wait for the rain to ease off a bit before going to the car. At that moment, a woman’s shout came from behind.

Li Yifei and Michelle turned around and saw a flamboyantly dressed woman walking over, arm in arm with a man.

Michelle showed a look of joy and said, "Sunxi Lii, what are you doing here?"

The woman named Sunxi Lii reached Michelle and said, "My husband and I came to watch a movie."

"Ah, you’re married?" Michelle looked at Sunxi Lii in surprise, then turned to the man beside her.

"Not yet, but we will be soon," Sunxi Lii said proudly with a smile. "Let me introduce you. This is Wu Lindong, my fiancé, and he is a manager at Tianli Group."

Michelle quickly responded, "Tianli Group, that’s a big company. To be a manager there, that’s really impressive."

Sunxi Lii lifted her chin with pride and said, "Indeed. And this must be your boyfriend. May I ask where he works?"

As Sunxi Lii asked this, she had an air of condescension, looking down on Michelle and Li Yifei slightly.
