News of Ye Xiao fainting from the horror movie spread rapidly across Ningzhou Medical University.
Ye Xiao was undeniably a goddess at the university — beautiful, with a great figure, and excellent academically, winning scholarships almost every year. Especially in the overcrowded Forensic Department, she was always in the spotlight.
At this moment, the Forensic Department WeChat group was abuzz:
"Did Ye Xiao get bullied outside?"
"Yeah, Li Yan said she fainted watching a horror movie at some weird cinema."
"No way! Ye Xiao fainted from a horror movie?"
"What kind of horror movie is that intense?"
"Stop with the nonsense — if Ye Xiao got bullied, can you just sit there?"
"I think they're provoking the Forensic Department!"
"It's the weekend — I'm going to help the goddess get revenge. Anyone coming with me?"
"I'm in! We must protect the goddess and our department's dignity."
"One word: fight!"
"Count me in!"
In the girls' dorm, Li Yan happily read her phone.
"Ye Xiao, lots of seniors said they'll help you get revenge tomorrow."
Ye Xiao put down her on hypnosis, exasperated:
"They're just troublemakers looking for drama."
"Are you going?" asked the round-faced girl.
After hesitation, Ye Xiao nodded, "I'll go see."
...
At 8 a.m. on a weekend, Ningxuan Street would be lively all day, so Lin Chen got up early.
After dressing and washing, he leisurely went downstairs.
But when he opened the shutter, he was stunned.
Outside the door were a dozen people, sitting or standing.
As the door opened, they complained and filed in:
"Finally open."
"I told you to come early — you wouldn't believe it."
"This cinema only sells eight tickets per screening; if you don't come early, you wait forever."
"I want to see what movie scared our senior to faint."
"Buy your tickets fast — avenge the goddess."
"Quick and decisive; I've got to go intern at the criminal investigation unit later."
...
"What's going on?" Lin Chen was dumbfounded.
"Boss!"
A familiar voice — Ye Xiao and her two friends appeared.
"Sorry for the trouble," Ye Xiao said apologetically.
"Do you know these people?" Lin Chen asked, pointing at the crowd.
Before Ye Xiao could answer, Li Yan said, "Hehe, they're seniors from the Forensic Department. They heard about Ye Xiao and decided to band together to help her get revenge."
Smashing the cinema?
Good! At least a dozen people — that means big business!
Lin Chen smiled, "Don't be sorry; thank you for bringing business."
"But... didn't you say there's a full refund if the movie isn't scary?"
"Yeah, any problems?"
"These Forensic Department seniors are tough," Ye Xiao pointed to the tallest boy. "Especially Shen Hao — he's interned in the technical section of the criminal police for nearly half a year..."
Her meaning was clear — she worried Lin Chen might lose money after working all morning.
Lin Chen was confident, trusting the system completely.
Smiling at Ye Xiao, he said, "I have faith in my cinema."
He went to the bar and told the crowd, "Buy tickets here."
Among them, Shen Hao nodded at a few people, "Wang Jingze, you guys from dorm 203 try first."
It was clear Shen Hao was highly respected. The eight guys from dorm 203 nodded and came to buy tickets.
"Boss, eight tickets please!" said the slightly plump Wang Jingze, handing over money.
After collecting the money, Lin Chen prepared to lead them to the screening room but glanced at the Coke Machine beside him and had a bold idea.
"Bro, want some cola?" Lin Chen pointed to the machine, raising his eyebrow.
Wang Jingze hesitated, "How much?"
"88 yuan a cup!"
"C-can't afford that." Wang Jingze thought eight sounded cheap at first but didn't expect another eight, making it 88 total — he was stunned.
88 yuan for a cup of cola? Crazy!
Lin Chen smiled and reassured him, "No worries. If you don't find the movie scary, I'll refund both tickets and cola."
"Really?" Wang Jingze was surprised and skeptical.
"Of course. With this many people, you think I'd lie?" Lin Chen said sincerely but was inwardly amused.
Wang Jingze waved his hand, "One cup each for everyone here — my treat!"
Since they'd get the money back, free drinks — why not?
