Chapter 71: Watch a Movie
Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
Xiao Jing was immediately satisfied. He happily received the drink his sister had opened for him and scuttled off to find shrimp in scallion sauce for her.
Looking at Xiao Jing leaving the room, Xiao Sa sighed and shook his head as he said, “Even if that fool were sold by Little Rourou, he would help her count the profit. How pathetic… What a sister-con!”
Tang Xi chuckled and opened a bottle of iced coke for Xiao Jing too. “Sa, I like to eat lobsters and hairy crabs, but their shells are too hard to handle. What should I do?”
Xiao Sa’s face was beaming with a smile. He took over the iced coke, took a mouthful of it and patted his chest with a smile, saying, “Leave it to me. You don’t need to worry about their shells.”
Tang Xi, holding her chin up with her hand, thanked him with a smile, “I knew Sa is the best to me.”
Xiao Sa felt so exultant that he almost felt like he was flying. Ah well, forget it. Just let Rourou sell me. Even if she wants to sell me, she’d get a high price and wouldn’t suffer loss.
Looking at Xiao Sa, Xiao Yao shook his head, poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip. Tang Xi opened the white wine the waiter had just served, and fawningly poured a glass for Xiao Yao, saying, “Yao, I’ve been working out very hard every day this week. I think my physical fitness has improved a lot. Can you start teaching me Kung Fu?”
Xiao Yao looked at Tang Xi, rubbed at her hair with a smile, took the wine from her hand and nodded. “Next month, I’ll start training you.”
Tang Xi nodded happily, cheering in her heart that she could finally improve her Martial Points. She really wanted to see what would happen when all of her experience points reached the highest level. Oh, she was really looking forward to it.

Looking at Tang Xi, Xiao Yao raised his eyebrows and suddenly said, “But you’ll have to endure the hardship and exhaustion.”
“Yes, sir!” Tang Xi gave a military salute with a serious look.
Xiao Yao smiled helplessly. “Don’t be naughty.”
Tang Xi nodded with a chuckle, then ran to a seat by the window and sat down to watch the live news.
Twenty minutes later, Xiao Jing came running in excitedly with a plate in his hand and he said, “Little Rourou, this is the shrimp in scallion sauce you wanted.”
Tang Xi jumped up and tasted it with her chopsticks, following which her eyes lit up and she exclaimed, “Jing, it’s so delicious!”
Xiao Jing almost stuck his figurative tail high up in the air. “Of course… I monitored the chef while he cooked it.”
Tang Xi laughed and Xiao Yao couldn’t help laughing too. Just then, the lobsters and hairy crabs were served. She had eaten up the octopus, and now she could start enjoying lobsters and hairy crabs.
Looking at the lobsters and crabs all over the table, Xiao Sa gulped and asked Tang Xi, “Little Rourou, are you sure you can eat all of these alone? Won’t your stomach burst?”
He was worried that she would end up going straight to the hospital to see a gastroenterologist after the meal.
Tang Xi pursed her lips and glanced at the lobsters and crabs on the table. It seemed that her dishes had occupied the whole round table.
Tang Xi thought about it and said reluctantly, “Well, then let’s eat them together.”
Xiao Yao looked at her and couldn’t help laughing. He had ordered only some wine and no other food. “If you like seafood, we can come here often. But don’t overeat. That’ll be bad for your stomach.”
Hearing his words, Tang Xi curled her lips and replied, “In fact, I really… okay, bring me here as often as you can.”
Xiao Yao nodded and placed an abalone that was just served into her bowl. “This restaurant’s abalone dish is very delicious, but you’d better eat it while it’s still hot. Have a taste.”

Tang Xi picked up the abalone with chopsticks and put it into her mouth, and then her eyes lit up. “Yes, it’s really delicious.”
She then began to eat it. When she was halfway through this dish, she sighed, looked at the three brothers who were drinking, then looked at the orange juice in front of her that she hadn’t drunk much of, and said pitifully, “Yao, lobster should be served with white wine. Can I drink a little wine?” She cutely blinked and begged.
She had been banned from drinking by Xiao Sa and Xiao Jing because she had previously gotten into a drunken fit at noon today.
Xiao Sa and Xiao Jing couldn’t resist her at all, so they merely kept their heads down and continued to eat. They had seen how Rourou was like when she was drunk at noon today, but they didn’t want to see her cry.
Rourou was scary when she was drunk.
Xiao Yao frowned and said, “You have class tomorrow, so you can’t drink tonight, or else you won’t be able to wake up tomorrow morning.”
“I…”
Xiao Jing quickly poured some orange juice for Tang Xi and said hurriedly, “Rourou, drink some orange juice. It’s also very tasty. You shouldn’t drink. Besides, you’re going to the party with us later.”
Tang Xi looked at the orange juice in front of her, reluctantly took a sip of it and looked at Xiao Yao again, pleading, “Yao~~~” She looked at him with her big, watery eyes.
Xiao Yao directly handed her the glass of white wine in front of him and said stiffly, “You can only drink one glass.”
Tang Xi’s eyes lit up and she took over the glass, drained it and put it back on the table. “It feels so good!”
Xiao Jing and Xiao Sa were going to a business banquet, and Tang Xi didn’t want to go with them, so Xiao Yao said he would take Tang Xi to the cinema to watch a movie. A patriotic military movie had been recently released, which received a good reputation, and its box office had exceeded one billion Yuan in a few days. The leading actor was a tough-guy actor whom he liked, so he wanted to watch it.
Although Xiao Sa and Xiao Jing also wanted to watch it, they had to make an appearance at the banquet, so they said they would go to the cinema to join them after they finished their affairs.
It was Tang Xi’s first time going to a cinema and to an ordinary screening room. She had watched movies at home before because she had a cinema in her home, which was even more advanced than the VIP screening rooms in cinemas. Her grandpa built it for her.
Her parents died when she was a kid, so Grandpa had brought her up alone. He had doted on her since her childhood. She loved playing in amusement parks, but Grandpa worried about her safety, so he set up an amusement park at home and found ways to move almost anything she liked into it.
Sitting in the screening room, Tang Xi suddenly felt a lump in her throat. She used to complain that Grandpa was too overprotective of her, but now she couldn’t even stay at his side.
She clasped her hands together, thinking, ‘Grandpa, God bless you. You’ll be healthy, safe and live a long life.’
Sensing something was wrong with Tang Xi, Xiao Yao glanced sideways at her and asked, “What’s the matter?”
There were many people in the cinema. Just as it was described on the Internet, this movie had a good reputation and high box office. She shook her head and said in a low voice, “I’m affected by the atmosphere. It’s my first time watching a movie with so many people.”
