on Ji-seong when he entered, her lips pursed as she stared intently at his face without blinking for several seconds. She seemed to remember the cameras were rolling and casually shifted her gaze in...This thank-you sounded oddly familiar, but that was the only thing said. The voice was especially quiet. Ji Jingyuan couldn't remember where he'd heard it for a moment and didn't bother to investigate further, deciding he must have imagined it.

As the girl walked past him, he casually glanced at her. She was wearing a baseball cap and kept her head down. Her short stature combined with her appearance gave her a fragile feeling. Her long hair hung down, covering both sides of her face. The dim lighting made it impossible to see her features clearly.

There wasn't much more outline left. He wasn't a creep staring at a stranger intently, and many people are sensitive to the gazes of others. Ji Jingyuan glanced briefly and immediately retracted his gaze, focusing on the large screen in front of him.

He was still a little complaining that this person also chose the last row, which made him not as free as before.

After passing by Chi Jingyuan, he walked a few more steps and finally found his seat under the light of his phone. He sat down in the spot between Chi Jingyuan, where there were two empty seats. He just caught his breath and placed his drink and popcorn in the grooves of the armrest. The large screen, which had dimmed earlier, lit up again, and the movie officially began to play.

She just caught the last second, and under the glimmering light, she casually glanced at the person sitting next to her in the same row. She had caught a whiff of a pleasant scent when they brushed past each other earlier, and there was a strange sense of familiarity about them.

After glancing over, she noticed he was wearing a hat and mask. Her heart felt a little strange, but she quickly looked away and focused on the big screen.

And Chi Jingyuan was also sitting in his own seat, not paying attention to the side anymore, focusing all his attention on the movie.

Watching movies is the real deal.

As the movie began, almost everyone fell silent with the dimming lights. The cold atmosphere seemed to suggest that this film was not very popular. In the vast cinema hall, there were only eight viewers in total, including the two at the last row, scattered in their seats. This made the entire space feel rather desolate.

But it also brought a lot of freedom and a sense of distance.

Although there were occasionally some annoying remarks from kids in front that somewhat affected his mood, after all, it was an anime theatrical version he had been looking forward to for a long time. Ikegami remained immersed and watched with great enthusiasm.

This movie tells the story of Nobita and his friends having fun by making a superhero movie on Mount Hikami, when they are suddenly interrupted by real aliens from Planet Pockururu. The aliens take them to Planet Pockururu where, thanks to Doraemon's gadgets, they become superheroes and save the planet from space pirates.

An app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old version of a book-chasing tool, used by veteran bookworms.

It can block the view to the right.

After his face emerged, he immediately felt much more relaxed. Ji Jingyuan placed the popcorn bucket on his lap and happily watched the Big Five space travelers soaring into space, munching on popcorn as they did so.

The entire theater was completely taken over by the exciting and fun BGM. Although there weren't many viewers, those who came to see it at this time were generally fans of the series, and everyone was very engrossed in watching.

And at the very back of the cinema, only two figures remained in the last row, with two empty seats between them. Each sat alone, as if by coincidence, and above the empty space was precisely where the projector light shone, a faint glow enveloping them. You could faintly see their faces bathed in the multi-colored light reflected from the big screen, engrossed and beautiful.

"Maintain cosmic peace, beat the monsters to a pulp!"

"Ouch... I actually got beaten up!"

Seeing the actors in the movie on screen, who thought they were acting cool and showing off, being directly blown to the ground by a real alien's attack, this contrast strangely hit his funny bone. It made Ji Jingyuan laugh out loud without even finishing the popcorn in his mouth.

"Hahaha…"

"Kekeke..."

This fragment obviously amused more than just Chi Jingyuan. The moment he laughed, a soft chuckle suddenly arose from beside him, two distinct laughter blending together harmoniously, only to abruptly cease simultaneously a second later.

"…"

After hearing some familiar laughter from beside him, Chi Jingyuan seemed to remember something. His hand was still in the popcorn bucket when he couldn't help but turn his head curiously, only to find that the person two seats away, as if also hearing the sound, had turned their head at the same time with a tacit understanding.

Their gazes met in the air, and then, bathed in the glow of the screen and the soft light above, they both saw each other's faces.

Her hair, divided down the middle, cascaded from her cheeks to her chest. A crimson baseball cap sat low on her head, concealing her fringe and forehead. Beneath the brim, her eyes sparkled with surprise, and her slightly parted lips were stained red from the popcorn she was munching on.

Although they hadn't seen each other in a long time, and the lights were dim, Chi Jingyuan still instantly recognized this person.

Minami Namiki

……

And Minami, seeing Ji-won, immediately recognized him. The astonishment in her eyes even surpassed his. She forgot to chew the popcorn in her mouth and seemed like she had been electrocuted, frozen in place.

She has been busy preparing and practicing for her debut lately, which is very tiring and stressful. Her usual way to relieve stress is by playing games and watching movies. She often finds time to play games, while she's always wanted to watch movies but hasn't had the time because she's too busy and sometimes just prefers to stay home.

However, after seeing the Doraemon theatrical version yesterday, Minami decided to take some time this morning to watch it. It was a way to relieve the stress she had been accumulating and also because she loved the series when she lived in Japan.

But the two friends in the same group were not at all interested, and she did not insist. She came alone.

I didn't expect that during my free time, I randomly chose a showtime and specifically the last row, I would coincidentally meet Chi Jingyuan

You won't make a mistake, will you...

The thought crossed her mind, but her eyes clearly told her she hadn't misread it; it was him.

And as she just passed by, she felt that the person in the same row seemed familiar.

Both of them stared at each other for a couple of seconds, both realizing they had recognized each other. There was obvious astonishment in Ji Jingyuan's eyes as he looked at Mingjing Nan's face, momentarily speechless.

He, of course, knew Minami Namiki. After all, she was one of the very few girls who he had exchanged numbers with before even debuting, and they weren't in the same company.

But although we would sometimes interact in the past,

He sent her some emoji text messages as a greeting, but to be honest, 池景源 never really had any particular impression of her. She was just a pretty trainee with a strong personality, kind of like a fan to him. He could tell that this girl might have a bit of a crush on him because of some past events or reasons, but that was about it.

And recently, the other party may be really busy as usual, or it may be because the enthusiasm has cooled down. The frequency of taking the initiative to send messages has decreased a lot.

It's been a while since we last got in touch, I never expected to run into you here today...

Although this CGV cinema is in Apgujeong, it's also very close to JYP Entertainment. It's very natural for people working there to come and watch movies here.

Isn't it just amazing how this could happen

Chi Jingyuan was speechless, a sense of absurdity rising in his heart.

However, to his surprise, he quickly recovered. A smile appeared on his previously dazed face, and across two empty seats, he gave a slight wave and nod to the famous Jian Nan, greeting him with his eyes.

And when Minami saw this, she was also flustered and quickly swallowed the popcorn in her mouth. Her somewhat casual sitting posture immediately straightened a lot, and like him, she squeezed out a smile and greeted him with sparkling eyes.

They nodded at each other, and then Chi Jingyuan pressed down on his surprise. He pointed at the big screen and gestured to continue watching the movie, not to disturb each other. And Mingwei Nan also readily nodded, turning her head away.

However, as soon as Chi Jingyuan turned over, before he could even look for a few seconds, the surprise in his heart drove him to steal another glance at the side. He found Mingi Nan looking this way just like him. Their eyes met again in the air, and after an awkward pause of a second, they both smiled simultaneously.

"…"

Since it was such a coincidence to meet here, Chi Jingyuan briefly pondered for a moment, then pointed at the two empty seats in the middle and tentatively nudged Zhu Mingnan with his chin.

After receiving the message, Minami blinked her eyes playfully, lightly biting her lips and nodding.

Immediately, the two grabbed their drinks and popcorn and quickly stood up from their seats. One moved left, the other right, each ducking down to shift over a seat. With a sigh of relief, they settled into their new spots together.

"Hehe…"

After sitting down, Chi Jingyuan let out a breath, while Mingi Nan smiled playfully. Wearing a hat and holding a bucket of popcorn, she peered over with her head buried in it, the sliver of gum on her white teeth was very noticeable.

Let's watch a movie first.

This wasn't a suitable setting for conversation. Chi Jingyuan pointed at the large screen ahead and muttered in a low voice.

"Hmm." Minami Nii responded softly, her voice gentle.

This time, the two of them truly returned their gaze to the large screen. In the last row of the cinema, in the middle, the empty space that had seemed a bit excessive just now was filled. The two sat next to each other, each holding their own popcorn, occasionally taking a bite or two, trying their best to focus their attention on the movie, and the reflection of the animated images on the screen imprinted on their faces, making it look like they were performing a colorful silent play.

At the same time, above their heads, a projector spilled forth a hazy and beautiful light. The soft haze enveloped them, like moonlight dusting the surrounding air with silver, creating a harmonious and wonderful atmosphere.

Although their mood and interest in watching the movie had undergone a dramatic shift just minutes earlier.

Although Chi Jingyuan seemed to be seriously engrossed in the screen, when he unexpectedly ran into someone he knew and sat with them, his previous immersion in the drama's plot instantly weakened. A faint fragrance constantly lingered around his cheeks, reminding him that his viewing environment was no longer the same as before.

And after initially recognizing the other person, and finding that the feeling of absurdity I had when I coincidentally met Minami Namiki was lessened after some thought and reflection.

At the same time he was reacting to their unexpected meeting, the place, and the movie they were watching, a strange feeling gradually arose, replacing the previous surprise and absurdity in his heart.

It's really interesting...

Although he was a little disappointed with the content, Ji Jingyuan still calmly continued watching because it was a movie he had been looking forward to for a long time. After changing seats and sitting together, Nami occasionally glanced over, but neither of them said anything more. They slowly focused on the plot of the movie.

"Ah ah ah, kill them all, damn them!"

"Go, Nobita…"

It was only when the main characters were fighting the boss that the obnoxious kid sitting in the front row started making a fuss again. This time, maybe it was the atmosphere that got him hyped up, but not only him, another kid also couldn't help but start shouting. His voice wasn't loud, but it was quite piercing and mostly just annoying.

"Alas."

"Sigh..."

Chi Jingyuan smacked his lips and sighed, and beside him, Mingjing Nan also sighed. The two tacitly expressed their dissatisfaction with the little kid in front of them in the same way. After hearing each other's voices, they couldn't help but glance at each other, shrugged their shoulders, and laughed.

A frustrating and disappointing, yet unexpectedly delightful film finally came to an end. Before the lights came on, Chi Jingyuan put his mask back on. After a few viewers in front of him left, he got up from his seat and stretched, loosening his body.

Although they hadn't seen each other or contacted each other for a long time, after sitting together and watching a movie for over an hour, when the lights came back on, they returned to reality from the world of Doraemon, seemingly bringing along the previous tacit understanding and atmosphere. Even though they didn't communicate much during the movie, they suddenly seemed much more familiar with each other.

"

Qi Jingyuan's gaze swept past and saw the latter smile, taking the lead to walk out. Mingi followed behind him step by step.

"How could someone watch a movie alone I was so startled when I saw you just now, I thought I was mistaken."

After leaving the screening room, Ikegami Kyou walked around looking at the audience dispersing and casually asked his companion, Nan Meimei.

Even after a while, he was still surprised by the encounter today.

However, his tone was very natural, and it sounded like he was chatting with a close friend.

It wasn't until after they walked out of the cinema that bright lights illuminated them. Chi Jingyuan swept his gaze and noticed that the girl was wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt, jeans, and sneakers today. She looked just like she had come straight from the practice room, very casually dressed in her private attire.

But she wasn't wearing much makeup. Up close, you could clearly see her pores and a few small moles on her face.

Speaking of which, Nanami Miinai has quite a few moles on her face, the one on her nose bridge is the most noticeable.

"...."

Just now, while watching the movie, she had felt quite relaxed. However, perhaps because there hadn't been much interaction for a while, after following Ji Jingyuan out of the theater, Nan returned to her senses and felt a little awkward.

But hearing Chi Jingyuan's relaxed tone, she also let out a breath and tried to imitate the other person's ease. As they walked, she blinked and looked over: "I was also startled. I really didn't expect it... I just came out to see a movie today, and coincidentally sat together. You, XO haven't been busy lately"

Recalling the astonishment that had almost stopped her breath at the time, she still remembers it vividly to this day.

"I was just busy the past two days, so today I can take a day off." Ji Jingyuan said this while turning his head to glance at her: "By the way, how did you choose this movie... Do you also like Doraemon"

"That's right."

Naomi's eyes lit up, and she nodded.

Her voice was soft and whispery, but still a little quiet. You had to stand right next to her to make out what she was saying.

"I've always liked it, I watched the previous theatrical versions... I really wanted to watch this one before, and today I happened to have time."

She didn't say that she was tired and stressed recently because of her debut. This time, she came here mainly to relax.

My mood is down.

> As the objective has been achieved.

"Why did you come alone Didn't you call up your fellow Japanese people, like Asahina Minori or Momoko Hina to come with you"

At this time, they walked out of the cinema. Ji Jingyuan looked at the scattered crowd ahead and asked in a strange tone.

He almost always saw this girl hanging out with a few neon-colored people, but today she was alone. For some reason, he suddenly thought of himself.

"He shouted, but...

Speaking of this, Mei Nan couldn't help but slightly twitch her lips, paused for a moment without finishing her sentence, and instead looked over: "Jingyuan, xi, aren't you also alone Didn't you call any other XO members together"

"What a coincidence, I called too, just…"

Chi Jingyuan turned his head to look at her, shrugged his shoulders, and in his innocent eyes, there seemed to be a hint of tacit joy.

They glanced at each other, as if understanding something. After a brief exchange of glances, both wore an expression of helpless complaint and sympathetic amusement, blinking at each other before simultaneously saying:

They don't like to watch it.

They all dislike watching.
