Eldest Brother Gu walked to the ticket booth and asked about the movie. It was a new release, and a ticket cost sixteen cents.
He flinched at the price, reluctant to buy a ticket. But then he looked at the sunflower seeds he was already holding. 'I might as well grit my teeth and buy it,' he thought.
He recalled Sheng Yueyue's sweet smile as she linked arms with her brother. 'So she isn't just some arrogant girl who doesn't know how to win people over.'
It was just that the person she wanted to win over wasn't him.
