Ex-Girlfriend Strategy (GL) - Chapter 32

The deliberate touch and this kind of accidental brushing against each other’s hand felt completely different.

Yang Jiu now felt her heartbeat racing faster than the car speeding in the movie, almost uncontrollably leaping out of her mouth.

—Get a grip, you’ve touched everywhere before, it’s just a hand brush now, no need to get your heart racing like this.

She patted her chest a few times to calm her heartbeat, keeping her head down and not daring to reach for the popcorn again.

Now, belatedly, she felt her stomach was so full.

She had already eaten lunch, and now half a bucket of popcorn had definitely stuffed her, though she hadn’t noticed earlier.

After sitting for a few minutes, she finally felt her heartbeat steady and slowly relaxed her body.

She turned her head to sneak a glance at Shu Nanxuan.

Shu Nanxuan was still sitting there properly, her expression focused on the screen ahead.

If you ignored the fact that her face showed no expression at all, you could probably conclude she was watching this comedy movie quite seriously.

Her gaze drifted downward, and Shu Nanxuan’s hands were resting in front of her abdomen, fingers interlocked.

Shu Nanxuan had been pampered since childhood, her fingers long and fair, but Yang Jiu recalled that the moment they touched, she felt a hint of coldness.

Just as she thought of this, she saw Shu Nanxuan’s fingers loosen, her hands rubbing against each other.

Yang Jiu suddenly realized that, although it was hot outside, the movie theater was like they didn’t care about the cost of air conditioning, with the cold air blasting strongly.

So, it was normal for Shu Nanxuan to feel cold now.

She looked at Shu Nanxuan’s hands, wanting to pull them into her arms to warm them but hesitated, afraid Shu Nanxuan might misunderstand.

After hesitating for a long time without deciding to grab Shu Nanxuan’s hand, Shu Nanxuan spoke first: “What are you looking at?”

Yang Jiu’s attention was already secretly on her, thinking Shu Nanxuan didn’t know.

Caught off guard by the question, she quickly answered, “The movie… I’m watching a movie.”

“Oh? Is it good?” Shu Nanxuan tilted her body slightly, resting her elbow on the armrest between them, propping her chin as she asked.

—Clearly sneaking glances at me.

Shu Nanxuan found Yang Jiu particularly amusing now.

Wanting to look at her but not daring to sneak a peek, only managing quick glances.

Last night was the same, even using the elevator’s reflection to look at her.

Kind of cute, making Shu Nanxuan itch to tease her.

“It’s good, the main character is so funny.”

It was a comedy, so saying it was funny was enough.

“Is that so? Then look at the person next to you’s expression,” Shu Nanxuan said slowly.

Yang Jiu, confused, turned to look at the person beside her and saw them holding a tissue, wiping something under their eyes.

Yang Jiu: …

If the lights were brighter, would she even see tears on their faces?

“Well…”

Yang Jiu turned back.

Even with her silver tongue and quick wit, with the person next to her crying, what could she say?

“They… they laughed so hard they cried… haha…”

She gave a dry laugh.

If she could see her own expression, she’d know she looked worse smiling than crying.

“Sneaking glances at me again?”

Yang Jiu’s nerves tightened.

She’d been caught, as expected. Since she was caught…

“Are you cold?” Forget it, who needs a face? What’s face worth?

“Hm?”

“Are your hands cold?”

Though Shu Nanxuan didn’t know how the topic jumped here, she nodded instinctively and answered, “A bit.”

“Then I’ll warm your hands.”

Without waiting for Shu Nanxuan to refuse, taking advantage of her position, Yang Jiu pulled Shu Nanxuan’s hands into her arms and placed them on her stomach.

“It’s too cold here. I’m warmer.”

The moment the cold hands touched her warm body, Shu Nanxuan instinctively struggled a few times but was held firmly by Yang Jiu.

Feeling the muscle lines beneath her hands, Shu Nanxuan’s ears turned red.
