Kiss while watching a horror movie.

Su Qingli was undoubtedly a top-tier woman—exceptionally beautiful with a stunning figure, and even her small feet were exquisitely delicate. The graceful arch of her foot resembled a crescent moon, paired with black stockings, making her the ultimate fantasy for foot fetishists.

"You're giving me a lot of perks today," Lu Han remarked as he gently massaged her proffered foot. His touch was just right, especially when he pressed on key acupressure points, causing Su Qingli to feel a tingling sensation all over her body, almost making her moan in pleasure.

This scene undoubtedly provoked Chu Ruoyan again. Having spent two years with Lu Han, she knew how skilled his massages were. But now, the tenderness that used to be hers alone was being given to another woman, making her heart bleed.

"Hmm… You've been very good today. I can't stand Chu Ruoyan's pitiful look; who is she trying to fool? Well, lucky you," Su Qingli said with half-closed eyes, watching Lu Han massage her foot earnestly. The more she watched, the more she liked him, her gaze becoming increasingly affectionate.

Lu Han remained silent for a moment before saying half-jokingly, "I thought you were planning to turn this fake relationship into a real one."

He didn't know Su Qingli's true feelings and found her behavior today strange. In the past, she would have avoided his advances, so why was she suddenly being so proactive?

Though puzzled, Lu Han didn't think she had fallen for him. They hadn't known each other long enough, and she had made it clear she disliked him. So he assumed she was merely trying to provoke Chu Ruoyan, finding women's possessiveness and competitiveness amusing yet terrifying.

But he enjoyed the attention nonetheless. While teasing Su Qingli was fun, having her willingly flirt with him was even more enjoyable.

As for Chu Ruoyan, Lu Han didn't know what to say. He hadn't realized how obsessive and irrational she had become.

"Maybe if you treat me better, I might actually turn this fake relationship real," Su Qingli teased, completely ignoring Chu Ruoyan nearby, eager to hear Lu Han's response.

"Give me your other foot," Lu Han said, waiting for her to switch feet before asking, "So, what does treating you better mean?"

"Your massage skills are excellent," Su Qingli replied, lifting her chin. "How about starting with more massages?"

Lu Han chuckled, "Be careful. If things get out of hand, don't blame me for breaking our pre-marriage agreement."

"Hmph, if you have the guts, I'll gladly accept it," Su Qingli said coyly but felt genuinely happy inside.

She wanted exactly this effect—to make Lu Han desire to conquer her, giving her a chance to truly enter his heart.

Ironically, she owed this opportunity to Chu Ruoyan. Without her presence creating the situation, Su Qingli wouldn't have known how to manipulate the situation so naturally.

About half an hour later, after the massage ended, they decided it was time for dinner. As they walked to the restaurant, Su Qingli felt light on her feet, both from joy and the immediate effects of Lu Han's foot massage.

At the restaurant, as expected, Chu Ruoyan and Liang Silu followed them in. Su Qingli became even more playful, occasionally feeding Lu Han and not minding using the same utensils he had used. Even Chu Ruoyan felt slightly envious.

After dinner, it was time for the movie. Just before the film started, Su Qingli looked around but didn't see Chu Ruoyan, feeling inexplicably disappointed.

Is that it? She has such low tolerance.

Soon, the lights dimmed, and the movie—a Korean horror film—began. At first, Su Qingli wasn't too scared, casually eating popcorn and discussing the plot with Lu Han. But soon, she clutched his sleeve, trembling, and whispered, "Lu Han, could you… hold me?"

This wasn't an act; she was genuinely frightened by the eerie music and spooky atmosphere, imagining ghosts appearing at any moment.

Turning to her, Lu Han saw her pale face reflected in the screen and couldn't help but chuckle. 

"You're so scared, yet you insisted on watching a horror movie," he said, pulling her close.

"I didn't know it would be this scary!" Su Qingli hugged his waist tightly, still haunted by the frightening scenes but smiling slightly.

She knew she'd likely have nightmares tonight, but getting to cuddle with Lu Han made it worthwhile.

However, she wasn't satisfied with just this level of intimacy. 

"Can you… hold me tighter?" she asked, snuggling closer and eventually sitting on his lap, nestling into his embrace.

With her cheek against his chest, she caught a faint whiff of tobacco, instinctively inhaling deeply, finding the scent surprisingly pleasant.

Love really is blind.

As she thought this, Lu Han patted her leg. 

"If you're really scared, maybe we should leave instead of watching."

"No way!" Su Qingli shook her head. "You keep watching. I'll be fine like this."

Lu Han was silent for a moment before saying in a low voice, "Remember what I said earlier? Watching a horror movie together is fine, but if you use fear as an excuse to cling to me, don't blame me for taking advantage."

"I remember… Mmm!" Before she could finish, Lu Han kissed her.

The kiss happened so suddenly that by the time Su Qingli realized it, she had already parted her lips, allowing his tongue to explore freely.

Did he just… kiss me forcefully?

Su Qingli felt like crying. This was her first kiss, taken so carelessly!

She was torn between pushing him away or responding when she noticed people around them nearly losing their minds.

Kissing during a horror movie?

Are you two crazy?
