Yu Minglang finally fulfilled his promise to watch a horror film with Qian.
While they were dating, he had said he'd be willing to accompany Qian to watch horror films in the future, but this time it was because he was in a bad mood, and Qian came out to keep him company.
Eastern Cinema is one of the larger theaters in Q City, playing an old-fashioned ghost movie at midnight.
Qian munched on popcorn while whispering to Yu Minglang, complaining about how fake it looked. These old ghost movies were full of loopholes, better suited for nitpicking.
Yu Minglang had been simmering with anger over his brother's issues, but Qian's deliberate complaints cheered him up, leaving him no space for anger.
There were hardly any people at the midnight show, with couples scattered in the large theater.
The couple in the front row had the girl snuggled in the guy's arms since they arrived.
He watched Qian eat popcorn, worried that she might get scared.
