Chapter 1835: Chapter 759: Forbidden Love

"Oh, I have a bit of a squint, so I can only see the screen clearly from over there."

Zhou Wang said casually, already sitting on the other side of Ji Xiaoxi.

"You... that’s not really good, Yang Hao, maybe you should switch seats with Xiaoxi."

Xu Wanting was probably hearing this kind of reasoning for the first time and was rendered speechless for a moment. But she quickly suggested.

"Never mind, well... I also have a bit of a squint, but opposite to Brother Dog, his left eye squints, and my right one does. So I also need to sit on this side to see clearly."

Yang Hao coughed awkwardly, not sure what excuse to find, and just followed suit.

"You have a squint too?"

Xu Wanting was momentarily confused, glanced around, but seeing that the concerned party, Ji Xiaoxi, didn’t object, Xu Wanting didn’t say anything further.

"What movie are we watching, how about a horror film?"

Xu Wanting picked up the remote and started browsing for films while asking.

"No way!"

"No!"

But this time, Zhou Wang and Ji Xiaoxi almost opposed in unison.

The two exchanged a glance, Ji Xiaoxi quickly looked away, though the corners of her mouth involuntarily lifted.

"Oh come on, I know you don’t dare to watch horror films, Xiaoxi, but you can give it a try. Some films are called horror movies but aren’t really that scary, like ’Zombie Taoist’... Besides, Zhou Wang, you look so strong, how could you be afraid of horror movies?"

"Does going to the gym have an inevitable link with being scared of ghosts?"

Zhou Wang’s mouth twitched, "Besides, if we’re watching horror movies, if they aren’t scary, then what’s the point? So maybe we should find something else to watch..."

"Exactly."

Seeing Ji Xiaoxi and Zhou Wang echo each other, Xu Wanting could only shrug and started searching for other film genres.

While searching, Xu Wanting exclaimed suddenly.

"Immortal Beauty exclusive? What kind of category is this..."

"Probably some exclusive content from this private cinema. With business being so challenging now, I heard some private cinemas have begun seeking various ways to attract viewers, and some even have new releases available."

Yang Hao thought aloud.

"Is that so?"

Xu Wanting said while giving in to curiosity and clicked in.

The screen showed many movie and TV series covers that were cartoons, but the names didn’t quite seem like anime—

’Frost Flower Store,’ ’In the Mood for Love (Director’s Cut),’ ’Human Poison,’ ’Apple,’ ’Lover,’ ’Sense8,’ ’Spartacus,’ ’Love and Other Drugs,’ ’Midnight in Paris’...

Xu Wanting blinked and then asked puzzled, "Why haven’t I heard of these movies? Oh, wait, I know ’In the Mood for Love,’ but what does Director’s Cut mean?"

Zhou Wang and Yang Hao exchanged glances and then both tacitly remained silent... commonly known as "playing dumb."

Zhou Wang didn’t expect to find such a selection at a private cinema, but it didn’t seem like a big deal since these, if discussed properly, are legitimate films and series.

Moreover, their artistic value is quite high, with several having won awards at various film festivals, so they shouldn’t be viewed purely with a vulgar lens.

Of course, Xu Wanting might be pretending, but Ji Xiaoxi truly has only a faint understanding of these films; she, like Xu Wanting, has only heard of the infamous ’In the Mood for Love,’ but having only seen the censored version, didn’t find anything notable about it.

"Xiaoxi, is there anything you want to watch? Pick one."

A girl’s curiosity is not much different from a cat’s, Xu Wanting was clearly intrigued by this mysterious film list she hadn’t seen before and urged Ji Xiaoxi to choose one.

"Then let’s watch ’Frost Flower Store.’

Ji Xiaoxi, having been pestered, could only pick one at random, "I saw Song Jihyo in the cast list, and I quite like her..."

"Right, right, I like her too, remember when we were in high school and watched Running Man together?"

Xu Wanting nodded in agreement and immediately clicked on ’Frost Flower Store,’ choosing ’Play.’

Zhou Wang and Yang Hao, unable to voice an opinion, could only cough lightly and adjust their sitting positions.

As the film started, the intelligent lights in the private room completely turned off, leaving only the light from the screen’s flickering images, thus enveloping the entire room in darkness.

The atmosphere of this private cinema is indeed quite nice, as with this immersive viewing light setting, Zhou Wang couldn’t even see Ji Xiaoxi beside him clearly, only vaguely spotting a silhouette.

At this moment, Zhou Wang didn’t have much on his mind, so he proceeded to focus on watching the movie.

...He had seen ’Frost Flower Store’ but had only watched a few clips, like "33:42" and "53:55," without really knowing what the film was about.

The story begins with the childhood of King of Goryeo and his chief bodyguard, roughly telling the story of two boys growing up together.

Yes, a boy and a boy "growing up together."

Though a bit strange, Zhou Wang thought that’s what the director wanted to convey... Hmm?

Zhou Wang was initially puzzled, but when he saw the two male leads starting to show signs, his mind went blank.

Wait, did I watch a fake ’Frost Flower Store’ before?

And with stories like these, girls tend to be more sensitive. Only after realizing something was off, Xu Wanting "oh-oh’ed" twice with some excitement, giving an odd glance at Zhou Wang and Yang Hao.

Perhaps in her view, seeing such stories, straight men might feel uncomfortable, but what puzzled Xu Wanting was why neither Yang Hao nor Zhou Wang was giving any comments?
