"So this is the kind of movie men like. Let's watch this one, then."
When Zhu Yuan saw the promotional poster for the Star-Emblem Knight, she thought of the mysterious knight who had helped her several times. Perhaps art really does imitate life. In the shadows she couldn't see, there might really be such a mysterious person active.
"I'll go buy the tickets."
Mo Xuan went to the counter to buy tickets, while Zhu Yuan waited. She had no self-awareness about her own appearance, but in the eyes of others, just her standing there was enough to attract men to hit on her.
Today, for a rare change, Zhu Yuan wasn't wearing her combat suit. If she had worn it on a date, her mom would have performed the "advent of the slap." So she was just wearing regular casual clothes: a white shirt on the inside, a normal brown women's jacket on the outside, and her long legs wrapped in black trousers. Almost every woman had this set of clothes, but Zhu Yuan managed to wear it with a completely different charm thanks to her stunning figure. If she had a crystal pendant around her neck at this moment, her attire could be called perfect. Unfortunately, that was not to be.
"Watching a movie alone, miss?"
The world is never short of people willing to be the first to try. A man with a mohawk had already come over to hit on Zhu Yuan. Just as she was about to refuse him, Mo Xuan returned.
"What do you want? We have plans."
Mo Xuan glared at the mohawk guy who had come to hit on her. Don't be fooled by his meekness at Zhu Yuan's house; outside, he threw a heavy punch. Trying to hit on the mother of my future children? You're asking for death.
The mohawk guy was intimidated by Mo Xuan's aura. He clicked his tongue and then turned and left. If Mo Xuan hadn't been so aggressive, he might have pestered her a bit. But Mo Xuan looked ready to fight at any moment, full of protectiveness.
"Were you just being fierce to someone?"
Zhu Yuan could feel that Mo Xuan was protecting her. She couldn't help but ask with a smile. In the Hollow, she was always the one protecting him. It felt nice to be protected outside.
"Was I? I don't think so."
"I thought you never got angry."
Zhu Yuan exclaimed. Her fate with Mo Xuan had started on the first day they met. At that time, she had accidentally injured him. He should have been angry, but he wasn't. The impression of his good temper was imprinted on her then.
"I'm not made of clay. Of course, I get angry. The Canvas Alley incident really pissed me off."
Mo Xuan said.
"Yeah. I wonder if that mysterious knight was angry. He clearly had the ability to punish all the bad guys, but he still left them to the Public Security Bureau. Do you think he could really be that kind of partner of justice?"
When Zhu Yuan talked about the Canvas Alley incident, her expression was not so relaxed. But she didn't talk about those things but instead turned the topic to the knight. She could see from the scene that the knight had held back, deliberately sparing the lives of so many people. Although some of them should have been sentenced to death, there were also some whose crimes were not so serious. To kill them all with one stroke, Zhu Yuan did not quite approve of such a thing. Fortunately, the knight was still a good person and did not do that.
"Probably. We already owe him a lot of Good Citizen Awards."
Mo Xuan said with a smile, still calculating his Good Citizen Award bonus in his heart.
"Why are you still thinking about that? As long as he dares to come and get it, I'll give him a year's worth of Good Citizen Awards."
Zhu Yuan gave Mo Xuan a white eye and said. Every time the Kamen Rider was mentioned, Mo Xuan would start talking about the Good Citizen Award, as if the award was his. This made Zhu Yuan both angry and amused.
Mo Xuan was still quite tempted. After all, a knight also had to eat. But he still went to the place that sold drinks under Zhu Yuan's white eye and bought two drinks back.
"Here, fruit tea."
Mo Xuan handed the cup in his hand to Zhu Yuan. Zhu Yuan took it and took a sip, finding that it was her favorite flavor.
"You still remember what I like to drink."
Zhu Yuan said with a smile. She remembered that the last time she drank fruit tea was also bought by Mo Xuan. This time it was him again. This was of course not a coincidence. He had remembered.
"I remember everything you like."
Mo Xuan said casually. Zhu Yuan's eyes flickered twice. Her lips, which were sipping the paper cup, suddenly tightened a little. By the time her lips left, a row of small teeth marks was imprinted on the inside of the paper cup, and was quickly hidden.
The movie soon started. Mo Xuan and Zhu Yuan sat together watching the Star-Emblem Knight on the big screen. Zhu Yuan, who didn't watch tokusatsu films, watched very seriously because she wanted to find the common points of the knights. But other than both using a belt to transform, there didn't seem to be anything else the same.
In Zhu Yuan's memory, the mysterious knight had always been beating down on Ethereals since his appearance. It could be said to be like a father beating his son. But in the movie, for the sake of plot progression, the Star-Emblem Knight was often beaten to the ground, and his transformation was even canceled. The main actor also often showed an expression of an open mouth and closed eyes.
"Is this also a knight?"
When the movie was over, Zhu Yuan asked Mo Xuan her question.
"Isn't it?"
Mo Xuan was still a little immersed in the plot at this time. He thought that the tokusatsu just now was not a bad work, just right to satisfy his craving.
"Isn't a knight supposed to be invincible all the way to the final boss?"
Zhu Yuan asked with confusion. The knight she had seen with her own eyes was like this. His debut was his peak. What kind of defeated record was there? He had killed everyone by himself.
"It's not like that. Knights often get wrecked. They have something called a beginner's protection period. After it's used up, they get wrecked."
Mo Xuan's expression was a little dazed. After coming back to his senses, he shook his head and said, not knowing how Zhu Yuan had gotten such a misunderstanding.
"Is that so? How long is that Kamen Rider's beginner protection period?"
Zhu Yuan asked curiously.
"Probably, quite long. Your starting point for watching tokusatsu is too high. An ordinary person watching tokusatsu often sees them getting wrecked."
Mo Xuan explained to Zhu Yuan with a half-crying, half-laughing expression. He was indeed in an invincible player mode right now. After all, he had entered the novice village with a full set of equipment. These Ethereals right now had no strength at all. They were all baby buses.
Zhu Yuan probably understood what Mo Xuan meant. In the future, she might really encounter a scene where the mysterious knight gets wrecked. But she did not look forward to this happening. In her eyes, the knight was already half her own person.
After that, Zhu Yuan chose two more movies she was interested in, and Mo Xuan also watched them with her. By the time the movies were over, the sky outside was already dark. The mission given to Zhu Yuan by Auntie Zhu was completed, and she returned home with Mo Xuan in a happy mood.
"Yuan-yuan, how was the movie? Was it good?"
Auntie Zhu pulled her daughter aside again and asked about today's situation in a low voice. Although she had already done a lot of assisting, whether it would be successful still depended on the two young people themselves.
