Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life-Chapter 669 - 667: Youth Never Ends

"Huh, these little letters on the jeans, they’re my name’s initials in pinyin?" Lin Wanwan discovered the little trick when she looked at it closely.

Lu Shouyue’s face turned red, and he replied awkwardly, "Yeah, custom-made."

Lin Wanwan slightly raised her eyebrows, noticing even Lu Shouyue’s ears were a bit red.

She didn’t understand but found it quite adorable. After all, it’s rare to see a man blush.

One hundred and eighty-seven centimeters of pure adorableness!

Lin Wanwan went inside to change, put on a simple little backpack, and then stepped out full of spirit.

Lu Shouyue looked up to see Lin Wanwan gracefully coming over, and he reached out to hold her hand, feeling soft inside.

Today is another day where they seem perfectly matched, a handsome man and a beautiful woman.

"Am I not driving today?" Lin Wanwan asked, looking up.

With the jeans switched, flat shoes were a must. Lin Wanwan, at one hundred and sixty-seven centimeters, was twenty centimeters shorter than the one hundred and eighty-seven centimeters tall Lu Shouyue; she always had to look up when talking.

"No, we’re not driving. After the movie, we’re going to have a barbecue and some good wine," Lu Shouyue replied, looking down.

"Okay." Lin Wanwan wasn’t insistent about driving.

Truth be told, driving was quite tiring; it required a lot of concentration, and a phone call would always make her a bit flustered.

"What movie are we watching?" Lin Wanwan asked again.

Lu Shouyue smiled and replied, "The Slam Dunk movie."

"Wow, the Slam Dunk movie is released in Huaxia too?" Lin Wanwan, who didn’t really follow movie news, was suddenly interested, "Is it about the national competition?"

"Yes, it tells the story of the national competition from the perspective of Miyagi Ryota," Lu Shouyue said briefly, "Wanwan, do you also like watching Slam Dunk?"

Lin Wanwan nodded with a smile, "Of course, I’ve waited my whole youth for a national competition."

"You’re still in your prime youth now." Lu Shouyue smiled with his eyes crescent-shaped.

Lin Wanwan glanced at his captivating eyes and couldn’t help but murmur, "Mr. Lu, you could actually play the real-life version of Sendoh, except for the spiky hairstyle, everything else is quite similar, especially your eyes."

Lu Shouyue arrogantly said, "You’re not the first to say that."

"Humph~"

Because they were going to watch their favorite movie, dinner had to be quick.

But good food couldn’t be rushed, so Lu Shouyue was willing to take a detour to Jie Yuting’s small restaurant with Lin Wanwan.

They ordered two egg fried rice combos, quickly finished them, and headed to Times Cinema City with satisfaction.

"Mr. Lu, aren’t you going to Hong Kong Island tomorrow?" Lin Wanwan, having nothing to do after a full meal, had the energy to care about Lu Shouyue.

"Well, it’s Old Wang’s birthday, I forgot about it earlier, and when he called yesterday, I remembered. I’ve arranged for my deputy to handle the auction." Lu Shouyue explained a bit, "Wanwan, will you come with me to his birthday party?"

Lin Wanwan recalled the online hot searches about Wang Bocheng’s birthday before, a joyful feast where influencers and celebrities mingled.

However, she might not have the time.

She’s going to the Imperial Palace soon and should avoid time traveling if possible because there’s no private space in the palace.

"When is it?" Lin Wanwan asked, "I have to retreat for study in a few days and might not be free."

"...retreat." Lu Shouyue twitched the corner of his mouth, looking deeply at Lin Wanwan, thinking: She makes sneaking through time and space sound so elegant and fresh.

He was silent for a moment before helplessly saying, "My busy bee, it’s the day after tomorrow, are you free?"

Lin Wanwan calculated and realized she’d just be free before entering the palace, so she smiled and said, "Then I have time, but I’ll only stay for two days at most before I have to rush back to the Ancient City. Where does he plan to celebrate?"

"Anxi," Lu Shouyue replied, "so we’ll hang out for two days and then come back."

"Okay," Lin Wanwan thought for a moment, "then what birthday gift should I prepare for him?"

Lu Shouyue laughed silently, "No need, I’ll prepare. He’s not deserving of your gift."

Lin Wanwan glanced at Lu Shouyue and smiled without saying anything.

This was only their second movie date since they confirmed their relationship.

This time, Lu Shouyue didn’t specifically find some private cinema, he obediently bought tickets at Times Cinema City—of course, couple seats.

Arriving at the entrance of the cinema on the top floor of Times Square, Lu Shouyue floated around buying drinks and popcorn.

Happy fizzy drinks are loved by everyone, but popcorn is just to create a cinema vibe. Both with discerning palates corrupted by privileged living didn’t actually like it.

Lin Wanwan picked only a drink for herself; Lu Shouyue carried everything else, including her backpack, over one shoulder.

She only had to stretch out a hand, held by Lu Shouyue as they walked.

When they entered with their tickets, the lights hadn’t dimmed yet, making it easy to find their spots in the back row, while two bodyguards flanked them.

When the lights dimmed and the movie began, with the surround sound booming, Lu Shouyue leaned to whisper in Lin Wanwan’s ear, "Wanwan, who’s your favorite character in Slam Dunk?"

Lin Wanwan replied without hesitation, "Sendoh."

Lu Shouyue couldn’t help but smile widely, his eyes glistening in the flickering light as he looked at Lin Wanwan.

Lin Wanwan turned to meet his gaze, suddenly remembering she had mentioned not long ago that Lu Shouyue looked like a real-life Sendoh, and she immediately felt shy.

Doesn’t this sound a bit like a confession? So she hurriedly added, "I also like Sakuragi, Rukawa, and Mitsui."

Lu Shouyue responded with an "Oh," but his smile remained.

As the movie ended, the theater lights gradually came on.

Lin Wanwan’s eyes were red, clutching a tissue stained with tears, still immersed in the storyline.

Lu Shouyue took the chance to pull Lin Wanwan into his arms, filled with emotion, "My youth feels complete."

Lin Wanwan was still tearful, "My youth isn’t complete. Sakuragi gave his all for his dreams, but I didn’t."

Lu Shouyue looked at her in surprise, "Wanwan, is there a dream you haven’t achieved? Tell me, I’ll certainly help you."

Lin Wanwan shook her head and stayed silent, quietly wiping away her tears.

Fortunately, at least half of the theater-goers were wiping their eyes, so she didn’t stand out.

Lu Shouyue watched her thoughtfully, feeling his mood suddenly sink.

This somber emotion only faded when Lu Shouyue brought her to the rooftop barbecue stall on the second floor of Jie Yuting’s small restaurant and they started enjoying the delicious barbecue.

With fine wine and barbecue, Lin Wanwan came back to life again.

However, Lu Shouyue’s mood hadn’t fully recovered to its original state.

The two of them unknowingly finished off a jug of wine each.

There weren’t many people at Jie Yuting’s barbecue stall because it was limited, and the food was expensive, so the clientele included only seasoned foodies.

Everyone was somewhat familiar and would occasionally chat a couple of sentences, but they all tacitly avoided any personal matters; friendships made over a meal remained on this terrace.

A summer night’s starry sky, delicious food, and a slight intoxication, everything was just perfect.
