"You're addicted to pinching, right?...Try it first."
Looking at Wakaba Mutsu who was staring at the popcorn in his hand and poking at it, Nakagawa Shin complained with a helpless look.
The hot popcorn is full of caramel that hasn't melted yet, so of course you should hold it warm... But if you do that, your fingers will definitely be covered in sticky syrup...
Hearing what Nakagawa Nobuyuki said, Ruoye Mu blinked and gently put the popcorn in his hand into his mouth.
Kaka.
“…So sweet and crunchy.”
The syrup adhered to the basic principles of physics very well and melted naturally on Ruoye Mu's tongue. The sugar it contained was faithfully reflected to the brain by the taste buds.
To be honest, popcorn doesn't really have any special features. The difference between popcorn in all the cinemas around the world is probably not as big as the difference between Coke and Coca-Cola, so there is naturally no flavor to speak of.
For Xiaomu, who has been learning dance since childhood and has been under strict calorie control plans by nutritionists and dance teachers, many snacks that are commonplace for his peers are just things he has seen on TV in Ruoye Mu's eyes.
Ruoye Mu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he obviously liked the feeling of the sweet taste soaking into his tongue.
"Of course...all popcorn tastes like this."
Nakagawa Nobuyuki looked at the happy classmate Xiaomu in front of him, and naturally he was in a very good mood. He picked up a handful of popcorn and started to taste it with a crunch.
It just so happened that I didn’t eat breakfast in the morning, so I ate some popcorn as breakfast.
Compared to Wakaba Mutsu, who chewed each grain one by one, fully enjoying the novel texture and taste, Nakagawa Shin simply regarded eating popcorn as a casual snack.
This is normal. After all, the convenience store where Nakagawa Nobuyuki worked before also had snacks like popcorn. Not many people buy this stuff every day, so the leftovers are often taken away and eaten up by Nakagawa Nobuyuki.
As soon as he ate this, Nakagawa Nobuyuki remembered the days when he would finish his all-night shift, go home facing the sun at six or seven in the morning, and immediately fall into bed and have a good sleep after returning to the house.
…Oh no, I shouldn’t be thinking about this. As soon as I thought about it, I instantly lost my appetite.
Nakagawa Nobuyuki frowned, his expression suddenly became a little awkward, and he silently withdrew his hand that was about to reach into the popcorn tube.
...But classmate Mu was right. I just ate two grains of popcorn and now my fingers are sticky.
Then, Wakaba Mutsu, who was sitting opposite Nakagawa Nobuyuki, blinked his big eyes and watched Nakagawa Nobuyuki lick his fingers twice with great ease.
"..."
Seeing Zhonghe Xin doing this, Ruoye Mu also gently moved his eyes and stared at his fingers...
Following the way Nakagawa Nobuyuki sucked his fingers just now, Wakaba Mutsu also put his fingers in his mouth.
Mm...it’s sweet too.
"...?"
Wakaba Mutsu, who was still sucking his finger, looked at the strange look from Nakagawa Nobuyuki and tilted his head in confusion.
Myself, do you have any questions?
"...Mr. Mu, you look... a little silly right now, to be honest."
It is because Xiaomu's appearance is so high, coupled with his extraordinary and otherworldly temperament, that Xiaomu's perception is only at the level of [silly] and [cute]. If it were not for this, he would probably look like a real fool.
"..."
The movement faltered, and Ruo Yemu's head shrank a little. He silently took out his fingers, looking a little depressed, and spoke in a muffled voice:
"……sorry."
Why are they apologizing again... I've been watching NHK for a year and I've never seen the guys holding press conferences apologize so many times.
Seeing Wakaba Mu like this, Nakagawa Nobuyuki sighed, shook his head, and said helplessly:
"Not that I can't say that... In fact, it's pretty cute to be honest."
Actually, this is quite good, at least classmate Mu is willing to express his thoughts in front of me... I still remember that when I first met Mu, I always felt that Mu was suppressing me everywhere... He must have been suppressed for so long, right?
Think about it, Xiao Deng, Nagasaki, and Mu, all of them are like this, not to mention Xiangzi. If I hadn't seen Xiangzi's alcoholic father that day, I guess I would still be holding myself back every day...
Thinking of this, Nakagawa Nobuyuki smiled and stood up.
"The movie is about to start, shall we?"
Picking up the Coke on the table, Nakagawa Nobuyuki patted Wakaba Mutsu on the shoulder and waved the movie tickets for both of them in front of Wakaba Mutsu.
"……Um."
Ruoye Mu picked up the popcorn bucket in front of him and followed Nakagawa Nobu silently. Looking at the popcorn in the bucket bouncing with his steps, he couldn't help but think of what Nakagawa Nobu had just said.
cute?
For some reason, when Ruo Yemu thought of this word, he felt his mind drifting away inexplicably.
…It’s hard to describe what that feeling is like.
Maybe it's the feeling of wanting to share and show off with others...right?
...If Xiangzi knew that Xin praised him for being cute, what would be his reaction?
Thinking of this, Ruo Yemu's heart suddenly became suspiciously delighted.

Chapter 286: It’s okay to sneak away, because you’re scared, right?
Because they bought their movie tickets late, all the prime time movie tickets were actually taken, and there were only a few empty seats in the remaining booths, so Nakagawa Nobuyuki and Wakaba Mutsu could only choose a seat quite at the back.
Starting from this row, all of them have become double seats for couples, rather than ordinary booths... It's hard to say which one is easier to sit on. Compared to the booths that hold people tightly, this kind of double seat actually leaves a little space for two people to adjust their sitting posture.
Well... As expected, no one else brought their female companions to watch this movie...
Come to think of it, if the purpose of this horror movie is to scare girls and allow young couples to huddle together and be affectionate, it really needs more jumpscare to be able to scare people.
Compared to that kind of movie, the effect of the one that Nakagawa Nobuyuki and Wakaba Mutsu watched was obviously much worse.
But that's all. As a sequel to a classic horror movie, this movie is considered to be quite impressive no matter how you look at it.
Moreover, I don’t know whether it was good luck or bad luck, but there was not even a single spectator around the seat chosen by Nakagawa Nobuyuki.
Even though there were quite a few people in the theater, it was still a bit scary to see it all empty...
"…Mu-san, is it okay for us to sit together?"
Looking at Wakaba Mutsu who was crunching popcorn beside him, Nakagawa Nobuyuki, who was holding two cups of Coke, asked softly.
Although we bought tickets together, there are a lot of empty seats in the back. What if Xiaomu wants to sit in a more spacious seat?
"……here."
Ruoye Mu did not answer directly, but with his eyes shining slightly, he pulled Nakagawa Nobuyuki and dragged Nakagawa Nobuyuki to the central axis position in the theater facing the screen. This position has the best viewing angle for the screen.
Of course, such behavior itself is also an answer.
In fact, if you think about it, you can understand that if you don’t plan to sit together, why do two people need to book connected seats?
"The sofa is soft."
Ruoye Mu straightened her soft plaid skirt, put the popcorn bucket next to her, then slowly sat down, moved around on the soft double sofa, blinked her greenish light gold eyes, and looked at Nakagawa Nobuo in a floating manner.
Xin, come and sit down.
The look in Wakaba Mu's eyes seemed to be issuing such an invitation.
Looking at Wakaba Mutsu in front of him, who was like a kitten in an unfamiliar environment, pinching his fingers nervously and looking left and right, Nakagawa Nobuyuki sighed imperceptibly.
Watch it for the children's enjoyment, and don't let them be scared after watching the movie... If you watch a movie like this for the first time, it will definitely leave a psychological trauma.
Suddenly, when Ruo Yemu was looking around curiously, the lights in the theater, which was brightly lit just now, suddenly went out.
"..."
Nakagawa Nobuyuki, who was sitting next to Wakaba Mutsuki, could clearly feel that Wakaba Mutsuki, who was moving slightly just now, suddenly froze... Turning his head, he saw Wakaba Mutsuki, who was frightened and looking at him pitifully.
"Normal... The commercials are still playing, but the main movie is about to start, so the lights were turned off."
Shaking his head with some amusement, Nakagawa Nobuyuki softened his voice, moved closer, and whispered in Ruoye Mu's ear.
After all, we are in a movie theater, so even if the movie hasn't started yet, it's better to keep your voice down.
"..."
Feeling the warmth and minty breath beside his ears, Ruo Yemu's heart suddenly skipped a few beats for unknown reasons.
But even Xiao Mu himself couldn't figure out what this feeling was, and could only fiddle with his fingers nervously.
"...Wait a minute, if you feel uncomfortable, don't force yourself to do it. Tell me first."
Nakagawa Nobuyuki also gave some advice to Wakaba Mutsu who was challenging himself to watch such a horror film for the first time... He hoped that Mutsu wouldn't be too scared to watch it halfway through.
-
Movie is playing.
Apart from anything else, it can be seen that Xiaomu really likes this movie.
Nakagawa Nobuyuki looked at Wakaba Mutsu, whose face was pale and brows were furrowed, but whose eyes were still fixed on the female nurse on the screen who was sawing off her thigh with a wire saw and whose one hand was tightly covering her mouth.
Then, he looked at his hand which was placed on the popcorn bucket and was tightly held by Ruoye Mu's other hand without any explanation, and shook his head helplessly.
At the beginning, there was actually a little distance between the two people.
However, as the plot became more and more thrilling and the trap devices became more and more terrifying, Ruo Yemu's face became paler and paler, and he naturally got closer and closer. Now, the two of them were almost close to each other.
It is no exaggeration to say that if Ye Mu just turned his head slightly, he could kiss Zhonghe Xin on the face.
But Ruoye Mu didn't have that kind of thought at the moment... The fact that he could continue watching showed that Ruoye Mu was very brave.
As for Nakagawa Nobuyuki's coat, he had already put it on Wakaba Mutsuki who was standing on the side, because not long after the movie started, the dark and cold atmosphere of the movie had already scared Wakaba Mutsuki a little.
"If you feel uncomfortable, you can tell me."
Seeing that Xiao Mu was really uncomfortable, Zhonghe Xin hesitated for a while, but still went over and whispered a reminder in Ruoye Mu's ear.
We are out here to have fun today, don’t really scare Xiaomu.
"..."
Wakaba Mutsu's face turned pale, but he said nothing. He just followed the trend and clung tightly to Nakagawa Nobuyuki, who was emitting a warm and secure feeling.
"...Xin, this... is so scary."
Climbing on Nakagawa Nobuyuki's shoulders, Wakaba Mutsu, with a pale face, leaned close to Nakagawa Nobuyuki's ear and spoke in a muffled voice.
"It's normal... after all, it's for this movie."
Nakagawa Nobuyuki took another look at the rather gay-oriented screen, then withdrew his gaze with a sense of relief and looked at Wakaba Mutsu who was staring at him nervously beside him.
"…Letter, arm."
Ruoye Mu silently loosened his hands that were tightly grasping Zhonghe Xin, which were already soaked with cold sweat, and whispered to Zhonghe Xin.
"What do you need arms for..."
Although Nakagawa Nobuyuki complained with some confusion, he still extended his arm.
Probably... like holding your own arms? After all, this kind of movie is a bit scary for Xiao Mu-san——
"Hey...whoosh."
Pulling Nakagawa Nobuyuki's arm, Wakaba Mutsu, with a pale face, quickly raised his body from his seat... and sat on Nakagawa Nobuyuki's lap.
Not only that, she even snuggled tightly into Nakagawa Nobuyuki's steady embrace, with her head leaning back on Nakagawa Nobuyuki's shoulder, as if only in this way could she feel at ease.
“…It’s very comfortable here.”
He twisted his butt to make himself sit more steadily, and finally calmed down, then Wakaba Mutsu whispered in Nakagawa Nobuyuki's ear.
"Is this...?"
Feeling the weight of this, Nakagawa Nobuyuki's face froze and he didn't know what to say.
...We can’t chase Xiaomu away, right?
Forget it, this is the only way to look at it...

Chapter 287: Xin? It's just Mu's dress-up toy!
Even among girls, Ruo Ye Mu is not considered a big type, not to mention that she is now curled up in Nakagawa Nobu's arms, comparing with Nakagawa Nobu.
