Chapter 59: She was Crying (1)
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The taxi didn’t go far and stopped at the entrance of a shopping mall nearby. Gu Yu stopped his car as well and watched as Xu Weilai alighted and entered the mall.
It was already late at night, and most of the shops in the mall had already closed. What was she doing here at this hour?
His brows shot together in bewildernt. He shut off the car’s ignition and alighted from the vehicle. In long strides, he followed behind.
Xu Weilai entered the mall and went straight into the elevator. On the ground floor, Gu Yu watched at the number on the screen showed the lift going all the way up and stopping on the seventh floor. He turned his eyes to the directory beside him and saw that on the seventh floor was a movie theatre.
So, instead of heading back to the apartnt this late at night, she had co to watch a movie on her own?
Since when did Xu Weilai watch movies on her own? She hated being lonely and had always called friends along.
Alternatively… had she arranged to et with soone?
At that thought, Gu Yu’s eyes darkened, and he pressed for the elevator. Upon entering, he pressed the seventh floor.
Although it was late at night, it was, after all, a Friday, and people didn’t have to go to work the next morning. Hence, the movie theater was still relatively packed.
Xu Weilai queued for so ti before her turn finally ca at the ticketing counter. When the counter assistant asked for her choice, she replied without a second thought. “What is the most tear-jerking movie showing at the mont?”
The counter assistant replied, “More than Blue.”
The title of the movie itself sounded depressing enough… Xu Weilai nodded her head. “That movie will do. One ticket.” She paused for a mont before adding, “Please give a corner seat.”
The counter assistant looked at her suspiciously. Most moviegoers wanted the best seats in the theatre, but here she was, asking for a corner seat…
Upon having her ticket checked and entering the theater, Xu Weilai found her seat and sat down. The lights around her dimd, and the movie began.
Xu Weilai stared wide-eyed at the screen, and, within a few seconds, tears ca flowing out.
There weren’t any sad scenes at the start of the movie, but tears kept streaming out of her eyes uncontrollably and dripping off the edge of her chin.
A couple was seated not too far from her and heard the sound of her sobbing. The girl looked at the screen, and back at her before asking her boyfriend in bafflent, “This is clearly a funny scene! Why is that girl crying so sorrowfully?”
The boy looked over and replied, “Maybe she punctured a tear duct? Well, you girls love sentintality. This movie was fild to milk you for your tears anyway!”
“D*mn, whom are you referring to with your talk on sentintality? I think sothing must have happened to her!”
“All right. That’s enough. Why are you being so nosy? Just watch the movie!”
Gu Yu was seated a few rows behind Xu Weilai, and his eyes were focused on her. The lighting in the theater was very dim, and he could only make out the outline of her back, and her shoulders that trembled from ti to ti.
When the movie ended, it was past midnight. Xu Weilai exited the theater with her eyes red and swollen. She headed into the washroom to splash her face with cold water before going to the ground floor and returning back to the apartnt.
She turned on the lights in the apartnt. The place was cold and empty.
Xu Weilai sat on the couch and hugged a pillow. She leaned her head back against the couch covers with a dull expression in her eyes.
She hadn’t watched a second of the movie at all. All she had needed was a place to have a good cry. She had suppressed the urge for so long and had no longer been able to endure it.
The Xu residence and the apartnt both weren’t hers, and she couldn’t cry in either place, for fear of being seen by her parents or Gu Yu. Out in public, she didn’t have as many concerns. She didn’t have to keep her act up and could cry as much as she wanted to.
Suddenly, a noise ca from the door.
