“I want to kiss you!” Gu Ci exclaimed as she got up, sitting on his lap and leaning in to kiss him. She gently caressed his ear, a sensitive spot for Third Master. He enjoyed having Gu Ci kiss his ear, and at the same time, his ears were unusually sensitive. Gu Ci’s touch made them turn red.

In the dimly lit theater, the temperature rose inch by inch. Gu Ci closed her eyes, feeling a pang in her heart. She kissed the underside of Lu Zhiyuan’s jaw, experiencing a mix of sensations.

Lu Zhiyuan shivered all over, his Adam’s apple bobbing. Gu Ci lightly bit down, teasing, “Third Brother, you’re so sensitive!”

Third Master remained silent.

He pulled her into his embrace, kissing her passionately. He had no idea what was playing in the movie; it was long forgotten. Gu Ci’s hand, however, ventured toward his belt.

Lu Zhiyuan forced himself to push her away; he couldn’t let things escalate further.

“Don’t you want it?” she asked.

“You…” Third Master’s voice was husky and soft. “You’re only eighteen.”

“I’m an adult now!”

“What about pregnancy?”

Gu Ci blinked in confusion.

Didn’t you know there’s something called a condom?

Lu Zhiyuan was tormented. Pregnancy was his temporary excuse, and it felt like he was roasting over a fire of his own making. He had promised Third Master that he wouldn’t harm Gu Ci, and when he woke up to see the look in Gu Ci’s eyes, he knew she was deeply upset. So, he continued to act along.

In that moment, he didn’t think too much. He just wanted to go with the flow, and when Gu Ci’s emotions stabilized, he planned to tell her that Third Young Master couldn’t return temporarily. However, Li Jiang informed him that after Third Young Master’s incident, Gu Ci’s condition had worsened, and her state was far from good. So, he had no choice but to continue the act.

He told himself he would act for just one week and then reveal the truth to Gu Ci once she was feeling better.

But after a week, Gu Ci’s condition showed no improvement. Even when she slept beside him, she would wake up, crying and calling for Lu Zhiyuan, calling him Third Brother. Lu Zhiyuan couldn’t bear it and told himself he would wait another month before revealing the truth to Gu Ci.

However, after spending so much time together, Gu Ci had become special to him. He watched her and Third Young Master fall in love, sharing an intimate bond. This young girl held a place in his heart heavier than anyone else’s. Whenever something happened to her, he felt an inexplicable connection, rushing to her side.

But she belonged to Third Young Master!

Third Young Master had warned him not to get close to Gu Ci, so he restrained his feelings, keeping them limited to just affection. He tried to keep her at a distance in his heart, but during this time, she broke through that barrier and entered his heart.

Gradually, he found it impossible to speak the truth.

He was in agony, tormented, deeply attached, and drowning in his emotions. He wanted to possess her, but he knew he shouldn’t take advantage of her vulnerable state. Gu Ci sought a shadow of Third Young Master in him, and that look in her eyes left him breathless.

She was the woman he couldn’t love!

He and Third Young Master had grown up together, drawn together and repelled apart, yet they always protected each other. When Third Young Master fell in love with someone, he would tell Lu Zhiyuan first and ask him to stay away.

They couldn’t live like normal people, and couldn’t openly engage in a romantic relationship.

They were destined to be lonely, and their pride kept them from seeking companionship.

They couldn’t possibly share a woman, but ironically, Lu Zhiyuan had developed desires for Gu Ci.

He had to desperately restrain these desires. If it weren’t for Third Young Master, he would use any means to keep her by his side, to make her fall in love with him.

But, unfortunately, it was Third Young Master!

He was acutely aware that he was a temporary substitute for Third Young Master. One day, he would disappear, and this love would vanish as well. Gu Ci had chosen Third Young Master.

If it weren’t for Third Young Master’s temporary slumber, he and Gu Ci would have had no connection, and their paths would never have crossed in this lifetime!

The greater the joy in love, the sharper the pain.

The more love there was, the more painful it became.

“Cici, I’m not…”

“Mom, I want to watch the movie too!” Gu Ziyu’s voice echoed from upstairs, followed by the sound of him running down the stairs. His voice interrupted Third Master’s confession.

The words “I’m not him” almost slipped out of his mouth but were once again interrupted.

Gu Ziyu pushed open the door to the theater. There was a row of soft seats inside, and Gu Ci and Lu Zhiyuan were sitting side by side, each holding a pillow, with identical postures, completely absorbed in the movie!

The movie was the latest popcorn flick, not yet released in China but already out in Europe and America. Gu Ziyu had turned the original film upside down, and neither mother nor son had had a chance to watch it yet!

Lu Zhiyuan watched Gu Ziyu calmly, knowing that one person’s resentful gaze couldn’t stop him. But this was a theater specially set up by Gu Ci, with dim lighting, and Gu Ziyu was completely unaware of any tension in the atmosphere.

“Mom, is it good?” Gu Ziyu sat beside Gu Ci, oblivious to the odd atmosphere, opened a drawer, took out a bucket of popcorn, and started munching.

After watching for ten minutes, Gu Ci, who had been busy kissing Lu Zhiyuan all along, had no idea about the plot.

She numbly responded to the little light bulb, “It’s very good!”

Gu Ziyu held the popcorn and thought for a moment. “Can 1 sit between you two? That way, you can both eat popcorn easily!”

Gu Ci shifted to the side, still in a daze. Gu Ziyu asked Lu Zhiyuan, “Dad, want some?”

“I don’t want any!”

“Mom, want some?”

“I don’t want any!”

Gu Ziyu finally sensed a bit of chilliness. Why were his parents so cold to him? Did he do something wrong? Did Mom find out that he tried to assassinate Dad and got angry?

Hmm!

He could get angry too. In his mom’s heart, Dad was obviously the most important.

For Dad’s sake, she even gave him a cold shoulder!

The family of three watched the movie in silence. In the warm family atmosphere, Gu Ziyu still had a child’s mentality. He got angry for a while but quickly forgave and forgot.

“Last time when you went to the movies with us, you kept spoiling the plot the whole time. We almost got beaten up. 1 didn’t expect you to hold back this time,” Gu Ziyu taunted Lu Zhiyuan.

He loved going to the movies as a family of three, even if it meant a crowded theater!

“I haven’t seen it, so 1 can’t spoil it!” Lu Zhiyuan hadn’t watched this new movie. Watching movies was Third Young Master’s thing. Third Young Master could watch it once and remember the plot, so it was as if Lu Zhiyuan had watched it too.

He had little connection to entertainment.

“It’s really great. Otherwise, listening to your spoilers during the movie is so annoying!” Gu Ziyu enthusiastically invited, “Have some popcorn.”

“I don’t eat snacks.”

“Didn’t you enjoy them last time?”

Lu Zhiyuan frowned. “Quiet, watch the movie!”

As the movie reached its conclusion, Gu Ci quite enjoyed watching popcorn movies. The plot was the typical heroism theme, but it had heart-touching sincerity. It was thrilling when it needed to be, and emotional when it needed to be. Both the dialogue and action scenes were impressive.

After the movie, it was almost time for lunch..
