My happy life in a courtyard house with triplets.

Chapter 332: Taking He Yushui to the Movies

Zhang Lei gave a sudden push, and the bicycle sped off, leaving behind the grumbling voices of the old ladies.

After riding for more than ten minutes and confirming that no one was chasing them, the two breathed a sigh of relief.

He Yushui was both shy and excited: "Brother Zhang Lei, that was so exciting!"

Zhang Lei smiled and said, "Come on, I'll take you shopping for clothes."

He Yushui changed into a new dress, twirled around, and looked at Zhang Lei with sparkling eyes: "Brother Zhang Lei, does it look good?"

"It looks good." Zhang Lei nodded sincerely.

The two soon arrived at the movie theater entrance.

Zhang Lei looked at the tickets in his hand and then helplessly looked at He Yushui: "There are only horror movies left, all the others are sold out."

He Yushui pretended to be bold: "Brother Zhang Lei, I'm not afraid. If you are, just hold my hand."

Zhang Lei was both amused and exasperated: "Who's the one who's afraid of us?"

There weren't many people in the cinema. He Yushui held Zhang Lei's hand tightly and deliberately chose a corner seat.

Zhang Lei glanced at the seat and thought to himself: This girl has a good eye for choosing.

The two held popcorn from an old-fashioned popcorn machine, and the movie soon began.

There weren't any particularly scary scenes, just occasional gore.

He Yushui was particularly excited, and she kept snuggling into Zhang Lei's arms while secretly glancing outwards.

Seeing He Yushui's frightened expression, Zhang Lei deliberately teased her, feigning terror as he asked, "Yushui, look behind you! What's behind you?"

He Yushui was so frightened by his tone that she didn't dare to turn around. She kept burrowing into Zhang Lei's arms, and secretly glanced back. Finding nothing there, she was both angry and embarrassed. She raised her hand and gently punched Zhang Lei's chest.

Zhang Lei laughed heartily, which annoyed He Yushui even more. She reached out and pinched his waist hard. Zhang Lei winced in pain, thinking to himself: Is pinching someone a natural skill of you women?

He endured the pain, while He Yushui glared at him angrily: "See if you dare to scare me again."

Zhang Lei reached for the popcorn next to him to calm down, but He Yushui simply pulled the popcorn aside and wouldn't give it to him. She grabbed a small handful and stuffed it into her mouth, saying as she ate, "Who told you to scare me? I'm not giving you any."

Looking at her cute little face, Zhang Lei chuckled and teased, "Alright, if you won't let me eat what's in my hand, then I'll eat what's in your mouth."

As soon as he finished speaking, he cupped He Yushui's face in his hands and lowered his head to kiss her. He Yushui froze, quietly closing her eyes. Zhang Lei couldn't resist any longer and gently kissed her until He Yushui's cheeks turned bright red, then he quickly released her, laughing helplessly, "You silly girl, how come you can't even breathe properly?"

He Yushui blushed deeply, almost burying her head in her chest. Zhang Lei looked at her, smiled, and whispered, "So sweet."

"Stop talking!" He Yushui was extremely embarrassed.

Zhang Lei teased her deliberately, "Don't say anything?"

He Yushui was both angry and embarrassed. Suddenly, she reached out and grabbed Zhang Lei's head, then leaned in and kissed him. Zhang Lei was taken aback by her bold move, thinking to himself: Since I can't resist, I might as well enjoy it.

After watching a movie, the two grew much closer. After the movie, He Yushui reluctantly tugged at Zhang Lei's sleeve, saying, "Brother Zhang Lei, I'm going to live at school from now on. Could you come visit me at school sometime?"

Zhang Lei was a little surprised: "Living at school? Don't you have a place to stay at home?"

He Yushui gently shook her head: "No, I want to learn more at school."

Seeing that her expression was a little strange, Zhang Lei didn't ask any further questions. Respecting her wishes, he smiled and said, "You can go see me, but I need a reward."

He Yushui was taken aback: "A reward? What reward?"

Zhang Lei grinned mischievously and leaned closer: "Like that kind of reward we got in the movie theater just now."

He Yushui blushed instantly and nodded gently: "Okay."

Zhang Lei laughed heartily and stopped teasing her: "Don't worry, I'll come to see you at school every few days."

He Yushui nodded happily. Zhang Lei reminded her, "Eat well at school, don't starve yourself. Remember what I said, gain some weight."

He Yushui still shook her head: "No, it won't look good if I get fat."

Zhang Lei deliberately put on a stern face: "If you don't listen to me, I won't come looking for you anymore."

He Yushui immediately grabbed his arm and said coquettishly, "Brother Zhang Lei, you really don't look good when you're fat."

Zhang Lei thought for a moment and compromised: "How about being slightly chubby? You're too thin right now, that won't work."

He Yushui looked up in confusion: "Why? Why does it have to be chubby?"

Zhang Lei leaned close to her ear and whispered something. He Yushui's face flushed crimson, all the way to the roots of her neck. Embarrassed, she ran away, shouting, "Zhang Lei, you're so annoying! I'm not talking to you anymore!"

Zhang Lei watched her run away, shook his head with a smile, and waited a while before chasing after her.

"Rain, study hard at school and try to get into a good university. Then our family will have a college graduate in the future. The children's education is all depending on you."

He Yushui's cheeks flushed as he listened to his increasingly outrageous remarks, but she still couldn't help but nod.

Zhang Lei smiled and looked at her: "Then you have to remember, you're mine now, you can't just run off with someone else."

He Yushui instantly gained confidence, raised her chin, and said, "That depends on your performance."

Zhang Lei was amused by her: "Okay, okay, I'll definitely behave well and pamper you like a princess."

He Yushui laughed smugly: "That's more like it. Little Lei, serve him!"

Zhang Lei scooped her up in one go, and He Yushui gasped in surprise, clinging tightly to his shoulder. Zhang Lei grinned mischievously, "How do you want me to serve you?"

"Brother Zhang Lei, I was wrong, please put me down!" He Yushui begged for mercy repeatedly.

Zhang Lei lightly patted her bottom: "Do you still dare to call me Little Leizi?"

"I won't do it again!"

The two chatted and joked for a while before quickly returning to courtyard house number 95. Zhang Lei waited at the door for He Yushui to pack her clothes and bedding, then rode his bicycle to take her back to school.

When they parted, Zhang Lei took out a handful of receipts and a hundred yuan from his pocket and stuffed them into her hand: "Take this."

He Yushui quickly waved her hand: "Brother Zhang Lei, I have money. My dad and brother gave me seventy."

Zhang Lei's tone was somewhat domineering: "They belong to them, this is a gift from me. Remember, you're mine, so you have to spend my money, understand?"

Looking at Zhang Lei's domineering appearance, He Yushui felt a sweet warmth in her heart.

Just then, a familiar voice suddenly rang out: "Brother-in-law!"
