Connor prepared to ask Ellen out tomorrow to give her the money and talk about this while he was at it. Meanwhile,
in the movie theater…
Having bought the movie tickets, Ellen first went to the movie theater’s lounge area with Jared. They were going to
watch a warm and inspirational movie for young people.
Many youngsters came in groups to watch it, and besides, its male protagonist was played by an actor whom Ellen
had always liked, which made her especially look forward to the movie.
While waiting for the movie to begin, Ellen picked up the mini poster on the table; a smile couldn’t help but reach
her beautiful sparkling eyes as she looked at the handsome lead actor on the poster.
Unbeknownst to her, the man beside her was also looking at her and thus noticed the animated expression on her
face. He darted a sidelong glance at the lead actor on the poster, who was indeed pretty good- looking. “Do you like
this actor very much?” he asked nonchalantly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Uh-huh, I like him very much. He’d just made his debut when I started high school. At the time, he was an unknown
little actor, now he’s already one of the top celebrities!” Ellen said, introducing the actor as if she were very proud
of him.
Little did she notice that the smile on the face of the man beside her was somewhat strained. “Is that so?”
Ellen replied, “That’s right! He’s not only a good actor but also skilled at singing and dancing. My friends and I even
clubbed together to go to his concert when I was at college.” Her eyes shone brightly as she spoke of her idol, as
though she were talking about one of the happiest moments of her life.
At this moment, the man’s strained smile vanished. Pressing his tongue against his cheek, he looked askance at the
lead actor on the poster, as if a hint of jealousy had surged up within him without rhyme or reason.
Ellen continued with a look of anticipation, “I’l definitely go rooting for him at his next concert. Not only that, I’ll get
the upfront seat and try to shake hands with him.”
The man beside her turned as black as thunder in an instant. He replied with a faint cough, “Okay! Take me along
then. I’ll go with you.” “Do you like him as well?” Ellen asked in surprise.
Jared was speechless. “Uh-huh. You like him, so I like him too, of course.” Just then, several young ladies who had
been staring at Jared for a long time made some loud noises, with each of them trying to draw
his attention in every way possible. They never expected to come across a super-handsome guy in the lounge area.
Not only was he a refined beefcake, but he also looked even more handsome than the lead actor. How they wished
they could draw his attention!
Ellen darted a look at the ladies nearby. As a young lady, she naturally saw through their intentions. Only then did
she look narrowly at the man beside her with mesmerizing eyes. No wonder he’s such a chick magnet. He’s really
charming, after all.
Just then, it was announced that they could enter the theater by showing their movie tickets. Ellen stood up, saying,
‘Let’s go.” The movie began shortly after they entered the theater.
Ellen was holding a box of popcorn in her arms when Jared reached over for it. At first, Ellen wanted to grab some

him.
Feeling the softness of her fingers, Jared felt a flutter in his heart. However, just when he looked at her tenderly, he
noticed that her eyes were fixed steadily on the silver screen, on which the lead actor’s youthful and upbeat
appearance drew screams from a bunch of fans in the theater.
Of course, Ellen was also drawn to the lead actor, who really looked like every lady’s perfect dreamboat in the
movie. His smile was so therapeutic that Ellen’s lips curved into a smile, too.
Staring at the lead actor in the movie, the man beside her became jealous at once. Does this lady like this actor so
much? Does she have to fangirl over him like this?
Jared didn’t watch the whole movie at all. Instead, he saw again and again how Ellen looked like when she was
infatuated with another man. Her eyes even glistened with tears when the lead male protagonist got banished from
his family by his parents at the end of the movie. Immersed completely in the plot of the movie, she secretly shed
tears for him.
