Chapter 301: 301: Planning to Escape_1

Jian Yufei immediately went to choose seats, handing the movie tickets to Aunty Li when she came by.

“Miss Jian, which is your seat number?” Aunty Li tilted her head to look at the seat number on the ticket and muttered with confusion, “Why aren’t they together?”

“There were no seats left, so we had to sit separately.”

It was the first time in her life that Aunty Li had attended a movie. She didn’t understand the setup, so she would just accept whatever Jian Yufei said.

The movie hadn’t started when they entered.

Jian Yufei’s seat was to the right of Aunty Li, six people separating them. Jian Yufei was an aisle seat, while Aunty Li was closer inside. It was only after she took her seat that Aunty Li realized she should have swapped seats with Jian Yufei.

If she sat on the outside, there would be no worry about her leaving midway.

However, getting out of the seat was a hassle. She decided it wasn’t worth the trouble and figured she could just watch her closely later.

The movie Jian Yufei chose was a horror film—the kind that was reputedly so scary not many dared to watch.

With a bucket of popcorn in her lap, she focused intently on the screen, eating and watching the movie absorbedly.

The atmosphere of the horror movie was tense from the start. Aunty Li was able to occasionally glance at Jian Yufei to check if she was still there during the initial phase of the movie.

But once a particularly scary scene arrived, she, like anyone else, clamped her eyes shut too terrified to look.

After the creepy atmosphere passed, she patted her chest in shock, thinking that such a movie wasn’t suitable for elderly people like her. What if it frightened her into a heart attack?

In her opinion, such a movie was also unsuitable for pregnant women—if anything bad happened from the shock, it would be a disaster.

Aunty Li leaned her body a little towards Jian Yufei’s direction and saw she was still there, and heaved a sigh of relief.

What she didn’t know was that the person sitting there wasn’t Jian Yufei anymore, it was just a stranger wearing Jian Yufei’s hat, her clothes, and holding the same popcorn.

Jian Yufei had given the girl sitting next to her 500 yuan to impersonate her for a while.

After taking off her down jacket, Jian Yufei was dressed in a gray wool coat underneath. She let her hair down, put on sunglasses, and quietly slipped out of the screening room.

The movie would not end for another half an hour. By the time it ended, she would probably be at the airport.

As she left the screening room, she walked quickly towards the elevator. Suddenly, two people approached from the front, and she turned around abruptly and walked back as if nothing had happened.

This was such terrible luck, how could she run into Ruan Tianling and Yan Yue now of all times!

Jian Yufei’s heart pounded. If Tianling discovered her escape plan, it would be very difficult for her to leave in the future.

“Ling, what kind of movie do you want to watch? There are a few new releases, both romance and horror. Do you want to watch a romance or a horror movie?” Yan Yue asked him, her arm looped through his.

The man glanced at her and hooked his lips into a small smile: “I’ll watch whatever movie you choose.”

“Annoying, it’s always that kind of answer. Can’t you take the initiative just once?”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“I can’t take the initiative anymore, you make all decisions in front of me…”.

Their voices grew closer and closer. If Tianling looked over, he would certainly recognize her silhouette.

Jian Yufei was soaking with nervous sweat. She quickly moved forward, showing her movie ticket to the usher. Her ticket was nodded through, and she said no more. She swiftly went back into the screening room.

Luckily she hadn’t ditched the ticket, or she wouldn’t be able to reenter now.

Jian Yufei quietly made her way back to her seat, regained her hat and clothes from the girl next to her, and put them back on.
