Rebirth: CEO's Sweetheart Reaches the Life Pinnacle!-Chapter 209 - 193 Disrespectful_2

"Ah, really!" Li Si truly didn’t know what to talk about with her and was just hoping the movie would start soon to rescue her from the awkward atmosphere.

Perhaps heaven heard her silent plea, as the subtitles began to appear on the big screen, music started playing, and the lights in the theater dimmed.

"The movie’s starting, we can chat later!"

"Okay! We’ll talk later then!" Du Juan crouched and returned to her seat.

Li Si took the opportunity to sit down and let out a sigh of relief.

Leng Mochen teasingly tapped her upturned nose, "Classmate?"

Li Si instinctively glanced behind her, then leaned close to his ear and whispered, "She’s from my dorm. She’s good friends with that girl whose English is terrible. She’s always asking questions about everything. Anyway, I don’t really like her!"

"If you don’t like her, just don’t bother with her! Enjoy the movie!"

"Okay!"

Li Si refocused her attention on the movie that was playing. It wasn’t until this rewatch that she truly realized why some netizens called Master Chen a soothsayer.

Master of Perfection said to Qing Cheng (Zhang Bozhi): "You will never find true love. Even if you do, you’ll lose it immediately!"

Wuhuan (Xie Tingfeng) said to Qing Cheng (Zhang Bozhi): "You ruined my chance at becoming a good person!"

Qing Cheng (Zhang Bozhi) said to a million soldiers: "Do you want to see me take off my clothes?" (This line was quoted from a netizen’s comment, not the author’s original creation.)

In the end, each prophecy came true—this movie was undeniably a masterpiece.

Leng Mochen held her small hand until the movie was about to end and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

Li Si deliberately scratched his palm twice. "Since I’m with you, I’ll go with whatever you say. You decide, and that’s what we’ll eat!"

Leng Mochen smirked mischievously and leaned into her ear, "What if all I want to eat is you?"

Li Si glanced at the people walking past them, blushing with embarrassment as she punched his shoulder, "Watch your words, okay? With this many people around, do you seriously dare to say that?"

"Fine, I was kidding! Let’s go, before it gets crowded!" Leng Mochen guided her carefully, ensuring no one bumped into her as they left the theater. Holding hands, they strolled leisurely toward the exit when the sound of high heels running reached their ears.

"Li Si! Wait a second!"

Li Si instinctively turned around and saw Du Juan huffing and puffing as she ran toward her.

"What’s the matter?" Li Si didn’t believe they had any interactions that warranted this.

Du Juan, noticing her indifferent expression, looked somewhat embarrassed but still mustered the courage to engage in small talk. "Hey, since we ran into each other, why don’t we have dinner together? You’ve been staying in our dorm, and we haven’t had a proper get-together yet!

Just now, Ling Wei sent me a text saying she’d be here soon. Liu Xiaole’s family restaurant is nearby, so why don’t we have our first dorm dinner here?"

In truth, when Du Juan saw Li Si with her boyfriend, who clearly looked wealthy, she quickly texted Ling Wei to gossip. However, Ling Wei directly instructed her to hold onto the pair and arrange a dorm gathering, saying she’d be there soon.

Du Juan felt something was off. Ling Wei usually acted high and mighty around her, yet this was the first time she seemed deferential in her texts.

This situation puzzled her, which made her all the more determined to persuade Li Si to stay so she could observe quietly later.

Li Si had only heard from Liu Xiaole that her family’s restaurant was near University City, but she hadn’t known it was right here. However, today she really didn’t want to be around her dormmates. Facing Ling Wei and Du Juan, she felt there was nothing worth gathering for. If it were just Liu Xiaole, they could meet another time.

"Du Juan, I’m really sorry, but I have something going on today! We’ll have plenty of chances in the future. Once we’re back on campus, we can find a day to properly gather, okay? I’ll be heading out now. Please let Ling Wei know!"

Seeing that Li Si was about to leave, Du Juan hurriedly blocked her path. "Don’t be like that, Li Si! Look, you’re the new one here, and the three of us have been here longer. No matter what, we should at least have one meal together, right?

Besides, your boyfriend is here too. It’s the perfect chance to introduce him to us dorm sisters—it’s practically family by now! Ling Wei is probably almost here. You wouldn’t ruin the mood and not give us face, would you?"

Li Si was so amused by her audacity that she laughed despite herself. What kind of reasoning was this? Why did she have to comply just because they suddenly decided on a gathering? If she had felt slightly bad about refusing earlier, now she felt no qualms at all after hearing this.

"Du Juan, it’s not that I don’t want to give you face, but I really do have something going on. If Ling Wei gets here, you guys can gather without me! After all, without Liu Xiaole, it’s not a full group anyway! Let’s save it for when we’re back on campus."

Having been quietly standing to the side the whole time, Leng Mochen finally pulled the exasperated Li Si away without saying a word. They left Du Juan standing there, stomping her feet in frustration.
