Chapter 1773: Unlucky Heiress (40)

“Science fiction.”

Just saying that made Tao Yu a little nervous.

If he had brought tickets to a romance movie and invited Tang Kui, it would probably have caused unnecessary misunderstandings.

Besides, among the recent blockbusters, this science fiction film was the only major release, and tickets were difficult to get. Using this excuse shouldn't be easy to expose.

“Science fiction, huh?” Tang Guo deliberately stretched out the words, causing Tao Yu's heart to pound.

So, was the little girl uninterested in science fiction movies?

With a smile on his face and pretending not to care, Tao Yu asked, “Do you like them, Xiao Guo? If you're free today, we can go watch it.”

“Of course, if you're not interested, forget it. I'll go by myself.”

In truth, he didn't want to say that last sentence at all.

Deep down, he desperately hoped that science fiction was her favorite genre.

The system measured Tao Yu's emotional fluctuations and nearly laughed itself to death.

His mood was like the stock market right now, swinging wildly up and down. The wave patterns were absurdly dramatic.

Though Tao Yu appeared unconcerned, he had actually been secretly watching Tang Guo's expression the whole time.

Unfortunately, there was neither excitement nor disinterest on her face, leaving him feeling helpless.

“Science fiction...” Tang Guo repeated.

Tao Yu was crying inwardly.

So, was she interested or not?

“To tell the truth...”

Tao Yu: Can't you finish your sentence all at once? My heart is about to jump out of my chest.

“Although you might not believe me, Big Brother Tao—”

Tao Yu: “...”

Was this what people meant when they said love made your heart race?

System: Yes. No matter how healthy your heart is, Host will make sure it isn't.

“Big Brother Tao, science fiction actually happens to be my favorite genre.”

Tang Guo finally finished her sentence.

“How about we go? I happen to be free today. Though there are so many tickets. Is it just the two of us?”

“I'll give the rest away with a phone call. There's still some time before the showing starts.”

“Oh, that works too.” Tang Guo nodded. “Then wait for me. I'll go upstairs and change and come right down.”

“No rush. Take your time. Girls taking longer to get ready is perfectly normal. There's still plenty of time before the movie starts, and I drove here, so we'll get there quickly.”

System: This guy came prepared.

Twenty minutes later, Tang Guo came downstairs.

Tao Yu nervously invited the girl he liked into the car.

Once she got in, he almost instinctively leaned over to fasten her seatbelt for her.

But at the last second, he felt that would be too intimate and might scare her, so he simply asked, “Did you fasten your seatbelt?”

“Mm, it's done. Why don't you check it for me?” Tang Guo answered casually.

Tao Yu actually took her seriously and carefully inspected the seatbelt. Only after confirming that everything was fine did he start the car.

“Big Brother Tao, you're really cautious.”

“When it comes to something involving safety, you have to be cautious.”

More importantly, the person he was driving today was the girl he cared about.

How could he not be extra careful?

After arriving at a parking lot near the cinema, the two walked inside together.

Tang Guo seemed to have completely forgotten about the extra movie tickets.

Tao Yu took the initiative to buy all kinds of snacks, choosing everything that girls usually liked.

Then they entered the theater and quietly watched the movie together.

Even though neither of them said anything or did anything special, Tao Yu still felt completely satisfied.
