Chapter 105: I’m His Girlfriend
After the movie ended, the first thing Lin Muqing did was go to the restroom.
The soda was really tasty, and the movie was great too. So, she only realized she had finished the whole large cup after it was too late. And of course, right when the movie was getting to the most exciting part, she suddenly needed to pee.
Leave and miss the exciting part, or stay and hold it in? That was an awkward decision.
“Whew~ That feels so much better.”
After solving her problem in the restroom, Lin Muqing let out a long breath and instantly felt a lot more comfortable. She went to wash her hands, dried them under the hand dryer, and then walked out.
Maybe it was because of the difference between boys and girls, by the time she came out, her good buddy was already standing in the cinema lobby, waiting for her.
“Hey!”
She walked over and was just about to ask what they were going to do next when she noticed there was someone else standing nearby.
It was a girl a little taller than Lin Muqing. Judging by her appearance, she seemed to be a high school student too. She wore a beautiful princess-style dress and held a small handbag. She really looked like a rich family’s daughter.
From the way they were standing and their facial expressions, Lin Muqing could tell that this girl and her good buddy knew each other and had just been talking.
“Who are you?”
When the girl saw Lin Muqing, the smile on her face disappeared right away and was replaced with a very guarded expression.
“I…”
The sudden hostility caught Lin Muqing off guard, and she didn’t really understand what was going on.
She turned and looked up at her good buddy, who just happened to be looking at her too.
Lin Muqing: You know her?
Ye Ziming: Yeah. I really don’t like her. Help me.
Lin Muqing: She likes you?
Ye Ziming: Yes.
Lin Muqing: Then what should I do?
Ye Ziming: Make her leave.
Lin Muqing: Oh come on...!
They exchanged all that just by looking at each other. It only took two or three seconds.
“I’m Ye Ziming’s girlfriend. Do you need something?”
As she said this, Lin Muqing naturally stood next to her good buddy and hooked her arm around his.
Right now, whether it was their matching couple outfits or their body language, anyone could tell that the two of them were very close.
“You! How can you—!”
Seeing Lin Muqing’s move, the girl, Fang Xiyue, first looked shocked, then in disbelief, and finally as if she had been seriously hurt.
“If there’s nothing else, we’re going to continue our date.”
Ye Ziming looked at the girl with no expression and clearly sounded annoyed. As he spoke, he was already turning to leave with Lin Muqing.
“How can this be?! The one who has always liked Brother Ye… is me!”
What Lin Muqing didn’t expect was that Fang Xiyue lowered her head for a moment, and when she looked up again, her eyes were full of tears.
Seeing her like that, Lin Muqing actually felt a little bad for her.
But that feeling didn’t last, because Fang Xiyue suddenly turned to her, and the look in her eyes was full of hate, like she wanted to eat her alive.
“It’s all your fault! You must’ve bewitched Brother Ye! You evil girl!”
Fang Xiyue’s expression suddenly changed. Her eyes looked vicious, and she even looked like she was about to pounce on Lin Muqing.
Surprised again, Lin Muqing felt like she had just become a target for no reason. She had no idea what had happened before this. All she could see was Fang Xiyue’s hostility… and the strange looks and whispers from people around them.
“Do you want me to hit you right here?”
Ye Ziming stepped in front of Lin Muqing, protecting her. He warned the girl with a cold voice.
As he spoke, a chill seemed to spread from his body, making the air around them feel colder.
When she saw this, Lin Muqing suddenly felt a bit nervous. She knew her best buddy very well, and she could tell he was building up his anger. Some people around them had already taken out their phones to record. If a fight broke out here, it would definitely cause big trouble.
“Brother Ye, you must be joking, right? I really like you…” Fang Xiyue spoke in a soft, pitiful voice, as if she didn’t hear Ye Ziming’s warning.
As she spoke, she took two steps forward, looking like she was trying to get closer to Ye Ziming.
Lin Muqing could only think, ‘Girl, run! He’s not joking! He really might hit someone!’
She still remembered back in their first year of high school, another girl tried to chase after Ye Ziming and did something similar. That girl even brought a bunch of delinquents to corner him, some of them were even boys. But Ye Ziming fought them all by himself. He hit anyone he could catch, boy or girl, and his moves were honestly terrifying.
Later, Lin Muqing found out that in most cases, people didn’t even get the chance to fight back. They ran away after being scared stiff by his actions. So she had every reason to believe that Ye Ziming wasn’t joking. He never made that kind of joke.
If he said he’d hit someone, he meant it.
“You can try.”
Ye Ziming’s fist was already clenched when he said this, and the cold look in his eyes became even sharper.
Seeing that Fang Xiyue was still coming closer, Ye Ziming coldly said a number.
“One.”
Her voice was sweet and acted cute, which gave Lin Muqing goosebumps. She even started to wonder if a human could really sound like that.
“Two!”
Ye Ziming continued the countdown, his voice getting heavier.
“I—”
“Three!”
He slowly raised his right hand. His fist was clenched tightly. This was his final warning.
“You just wait! I won’t forgive you!”
In the end, Fang Xiyue couldn’t stand up to Ye Ziming’s pressure. She turned to Lin Muqing, shouted something harsh, and then ran away.
Well… Lin Muqing now regretted ever worrying about her. That girl clearly wasn’t afraid of being hit at all.
But worrying didn’t help anyway. She didn’t think she could’ve stopped her best buddy, especially when he was angry.
“Uh… Boss, let’s get out of here first,” Lin Muqing said softly as she gently tugged at his arm.
They were in the movie theater lobby, and since it was the weekend, there were a lot of people. In just a short while, a small crowd had already gathered. To avoid unnecessary trouble, she felt they should leave quickly.
“Mm.”
Ye Ziming nodded and walked out with Lin Muqing.
Once everything was over, the cold, scary vibe around him disappeared instantly. In the blink of an eye, he returned to the calm and relaxed state he was in just a few minutes earlier.
It was like nothing had even happened. He even looked at Lin Muqing with a satisfied smile, because she had finally realized she was his girlfriend, and that she had to help him deal with “outsiders” together.
