I really don't want to be a hero

Chapter 52 Movie and Dinner

Gu Mian looked at the delicious food in front of her and said, "Let's eat quickly, the food will get cold after a while, and I'm hungry too."

As he spoke, Gu Mian scooped up the caviar and put it into his mouth. After chewing for a few times, he felt the freshness and sweetness of the caviar spread in his mouth, and he licked his lips contentedly.

Seeing this, Elaine also imitated him, took a spoonful of it with a spoon, and after eating a few mouthfuls, she found that the taste was very authentic, smooth and delicious, so she started eating again.

While enjoying the delicious food, the two slowly ate lunch. There was melodious piano music playing in the restaurant, and the quiet atmosphere around them was very comfortable and cozy, which made them feel better unconsciously.

After finishing dinner, Gu Mian put down the knife and fork in her hand: "I'm full, how about you?" Elaine looked at the remaining food on the plate, then shook her head, indicating that she was also full.

Elaine paid for the meal, and the two walked out of the restaurant. Gu Mian looked at the sky and asked, "When is that movie?"

"It's called 'Spead Love'," Elaine corrected, "It starts at two o'clock, and we can go there now."

"Yeah." Gu Mian nodded, and walked with her to a nearby theater.

After entering the theater, it didn't take long before the ticket check-in was done. Gu Mian bought two large buckets of popcorn, one for each of Elaine.

Take a seat in a more comfortable position, which is located in the middle, so it can be said that the view is good and there are few people.

Wait, the lack of people doesn't seem to be a problem with the seats. Gu Mian looked around and found that there were no more than ten people in the audience other than the two of them, and there were two couples who hid in the back row as soon as they arrived.

"Are you sure this movie is well received?" Gu Mian doubted.

"Yes, of course." Elaine's elf-like ear tips were slightly red: "Anyway, you just look at it."

"Okay." Seeing that the movie had already started, Gu Mian nodded, and decided to watch it later. Maybe this movie is a treasure now, and a dark horse in the future.

The movie begins, telling the story of an ordinary family. The heroine's father was a factory worker, but was fired because of a work-related injury. He couldn't live on, so he sold his daughter to a wealthy businessman. The wealthy businessman took a fancy to the girl's beauty and forced her to be their bed partner.

"Don't you think this matter is bloody, how could such a scene appear in reality?" Looking at the content of the movie, Gu Mian couldn't help but said.

"Alright, are you alright?" Elaine also said stiffly.

Gu Mian said it was difficult to understand, but the plot of the movie continued.

Next, the male protagonist appeared. He was the heroine's lover at school, had an affair with the heroine, and joined the hostile company of the rich businessman in order to save the heroine, trying to defeat the rich businessman.

During this period, the heroine is pregnant with the illegitimate son of the rich businessman. The rich businessman knows the news and kills the illegitimate son in revenge for the heroine's adulterous affair.
At the end of the movie, the male protagonist was forced to have nowhere to go by the rich businessman, and finally chose to commit suicide. The rich businessman was also arrested by the police and faced prison.

The film ends with the heroine weeping at the grave of her illegitimate child and the hero.

"Do you really think it looks good?" Gu Mian couldn't help but look at the content on the screen.

Except for them, almost everyone in the venue was gone, and even the two couples who obviously didn't come to watch the movie couldn't hold on and left early.

"I didn't know it was so ugly." Elaine smiled embarrassedly: "It's just that I also participated in it, and it's the only work I participated in. I just want you to take a look."

"You also participated in the performance?" Gu Mian looked confused: "Where is it, I didn't see it."

Elaine slapped him lightly: "It was when the police arrested the rich businessman in the end. I was the prettiest among the policewomen."

"..." Gu Mian thought hard for a while, but still couldn't find Elaine's sense of existence from all the uniforms.

"Forget it." Elaine said with a smile: "If you can't remember it, don't think about it. However, I will always play an important role, so don't underestimate me."

Gu Mian nodded: "I believe in you." He didn't mean to say polite words, but he felt from his heart that Elaine, who is both beautiful and hardworking, would definitely succeed.

After coming out of the movie theater, the two walked towards Gu Mian's apartment. Elaine's temporary house was also there. It was another apartment next to Gu Mian, which was why she ate fast food nearby.

Before I came to the fast food restaurant, I found that not only was it operating normally, but the business was booming, and there were even many journalist-like people wandering around with cameras.

Gu Mian put on the hood of his coat and was about to go upstairs, but Elaine suddenly stopped him: "Wait until you put the things up and then come down, I'll treat you to dinner."

"Please?" Gu Mian pointed to the nearby fast food restaurant suspiciously: "I will be recognized if I eat there."

"Who would treat guests for fast food?" Elaine said angrily, "Anyway, just come down later, and I'll take you to a good place."

Hearing what she said, Gu Mian stopped thinking about it. After putting the big and small bags in her hand, she went downstairs and saw Elaine in a blue dress, standing gracefully at the door of the apartment.

Seeing him coming out, Elaine looked at the setting sun hanging from the sky, and hurriedly pulled him into a taxi.

He said to the driver, "Go to Xiaominghong Chinese Restaurant."

"Chinese restaurant?" Gu Mian asked suspiciously.

"Yes." Elaine nodded and said: "This Xiaominghong Chinese restaurant has one Michelin star, and I heard that the dishes and taste are much better than some Michelin two-star restaurants, mainly because they are loved by the people of Yuanzhou.

Didn't you say you were homesick during the Mid-Autumn Festival yesterday, I just wanted to take you to eat Chinese food. I heard that many Yuanzhou people who are away use this to comfort their homesickness. "

In the dark carriage, only the light of the traffic lights occasionally flashed, shining in Yi Lian's eyes, the bright reflection made Gu Mian startled.

He didn't expect that she would remember it in her heart.

The taxi stopped quickly, and when we walked into the restaurant, it gave people the feeling of grandeur.

The Chinese restaurant is built with a strong visual impact formed by Chinese dramas and Western operas. Its marble columns, sculptures, and magnificent lacquered red curtains are taken from the dome designed by a hall in Shanghai; while a large number of dark blue and emerald green tassels bring It has a Western-style aesthetic appeal, giving people a different dining experience.

"I heard that the head chef is from Xiangjiang, Yuanzhou country, that's why the Chinese food is so delicious."

Elaine looked at Gu Mian's cheek and said, there was only his silhouette in her eyes.

Gu Mian smiled and said, "You know a lot more than I do, I don't even know the situation of Chinese restaurants in Los Angeles."

"I want to treat guests, of course I have to investigate clearly in advance." Elaine said as a matter of course.

Walking into the restaurant, the welcoming lady said enthusiastically in not very standard Chinese: "Good evening, sir and madam, welcome to Xiaominghong Chinese Restaurant."
