My Dragon Baby and Billionaire Husband-Chapter 753 Cinematic Proposal 8

Ye Siyuan looked up and saw the bloodstains marring the white cashmere sweater Si Lisao was wearing.

It wasn’t Si Lisao’s blood, but what he had picked up along the way.

It made Si Lisao look both wild and disheveled.

Ye Siyuan’s nose tingled as she said, "I don’t even want to watch the movie anymore. You’ve dirtied the sweater I knitted for you. It took me over a month!"

Si Lisao looked down, staring at his sweater. "It’s only dirty from the movie. After the movie ends and we return to reality, it will be clean. Don’t worry. I cherish this sweater very much."

He squatted down, rolled up her pant leg, and checked her ankle. It was already a deep purple.

Si Lisao’s cold eyes were terrifyingly deep.

Ye Siyuan also said, "It only hurts in the movie. In the real world, it’ll be fine. It’s just movie effects. But I must have looked so cool with that kick just now, right? Did I captivate you?"

Si Lisao knelt on one knee, looking up at the anticipation in her eyes, and nodded gravely.

Ye Siyuan, feeling smug and a little haughty, said, "So, the self-defense techniques my brother forced me to learn weren’t for nothing after all. I thought I’d never use them in my life. I usually have guards following me when I go out. Even if they’re not obviously present, they’re secretly following me, so I always complained that my brother just wanted to torment me."

"It’s good for a girl to learn some self-defense skills. They can save your life at a critical moment."

Si Lisao strongly agreed with Mo Yinhe’s approach.

It’s better to teach someone to fish than to give them a fish.

"Right, what do we do next?"

Si Lisao said, "This cinema has windows. Later, we’ll go to the basement to find rubber rafts. You all stay put here. Once we find them, you and Jingzhe jump out the window, and I’ll catch you."

Ye Siyuan nodded. "Okay. My leg is injured so badly; I definitely can’t walk. If I tried, I’d just hold you back. Jumping from the window is much simpler. But won’t it be very dangerous for you to go from here to the basement?"

At this moment, the portly man and the movie’s male lead also informed everyone of this decision.

The plan remained for the two of them to go to the basement, while the elderly couple, the young man, and the female lead would wait in the room.

The portly man and the male lead’s thinking was to leave a young man to care for the injured woman and the elderly.

The young man readily agreed.

But the elderly couple had no confidence in him.

The old gentleman had already seen that the young man was an egoist; if real danger occurred, he would likely flee immediately, with no regard for their lives.

However, the old gentleman also understood that the young man would definitely not venture out. He would surely prefer to stay here and reap the rewards, waiting for the portly man and the male lead to find the rafts and then pick them up on the water’s surface.

When faced with a desperate situation, all they could do was pray that no danger would befall the cinema.

Suddenly, the female lead took the Jade Buddha Pendant from her neck and placed it around the male lead’s.

She said, "My grandmother prayed for this at a very famous temple, and it’s been consecrated. I’ve worn it since I was a child, and it has saved me from danger many times. I hope it can also protect you and help you turn peril into safety."

The male lead looked down at the Jade Buddha on his neck, a light shimmering in his eyes.

He searched himself and only found the wristwatch on his arm to give her.

He took off the expensive watch and put it on the female lead’s wrist, saying, "Keep it safe for me for now. When I come back for you, you can return it to me, and I’ll give you back the Jade Buddha."

This was like an exchange of love tokens.

The female lead nodded, then suddenly wrapped her arms around the male lead’s neck and pressed her lips to his.

The male lead froze.

A few seconds later, he hugged her tightly and bent down to kiss her lips fiercely.

This was their first kiss, and tears slowly welled in the female lead’s eyes.

Si Lisao looked down, gazing expectantly at Ye Siyuan.

It was as if he too was anticipating an unsolicited kiss from her.

But Ye Siyuan didn’t follow suit. She had her own way of expressing her feelings; she couldn’t just mimic the movie’s leads for everything.

Si Lisao coughed lightly twice, seemingly hinting at her.

Ye Siyuan pretended not to hear. She wrapped both hands around Si Lisao’s arm, her head resting against it in a gesture of reliance. She said nothing, but her every movement conveyed her worry and reluctance to let him go.

Si Lisao’s heart thumped. His other arm settled on her back, and he patted her gently a couple of times as if soothing a child. "Don’t worry," he said. "The elevator will get us there quickly. Maybe we’ll get the rubber raft in less than ten minutes. Then we can leave this ship and go enjoy the open sea."

"I’m not worried at all."

She denied it, but her hands still clung to his arm, unwilling to let go. "In that case, don’t you go either. We can just watch the movie peacefully here. Or we could just jump straight out from here. We both know how to swim; it’s not like we’d drown, right?"

Unfortunately, they were *in* a movie and had to follow the plot.

The plot was fixed; they couldn’t deviate from it. Si Lisao could only follow the male lead’s path because he had chosen the male lead mode at the start of the movie.

Before a 9D movie began, viewers could select a mode. Once chosen, it couldn’t be changed, just like entering a game. One could choose the female lead mode, male lead mode, a supporting character mode, or even a pure spectator mode. Once selected, that mode would persist until the film’s end.

Unless they quit the movie midway, of course.

But having watched this far, not seeing the ending would be so unsatisfying, wouldn’t it?

Some people, to experience every mode, would watch a movie multiple times—a first viewing, a second, a third, even a fourth.

So, some netizens had wondered: just how desperate for money were the directors to come up with such a convoluted viewing method?

Si Lisao hugged her, his voice soothing, magnetic yet restrained. "When I find the rubber raft, I’ll give you a gift."

"What kind of gift? I don’t want your watch, and I don’t have anything for you either."

Today, Ye Siyuan wasn’t wearing any jewelry, only a hair tie.

Si Lisao kissed her forehead. "I’ll tell you then," he said. "I’ve been preparing this gift for a long time. You’ll definitely like it."

"That’s not necessarily true," Ye Siyuan hmphed. "The number of gifts I receive each year is mountainous. Very few truly move me anymore."

But, as long as it was from him, even if it were just a button, she would treasure it. What she cherished was never the gift’s value, but the giver himself.

Si Lisao gently pried her reluctant hands away, flicked her forehead with his index finger, and left.

The movie’s male lead and the portly man also departed.

Ye Siyuan could only join the female lead, leaning against the small window, waiting patiently for a rubber raft to arrive below to pick them up.

They waited for a full twenty minutes, but there was no sign of the male lead or Si Lisao. Instead, they saw that other people had found rubber rafts, which were now floating on the water’s surface.

The young man shoved the female lead aside. Seeing that others had rafts, he smashed the window without a word, jumped out, and swam towards the other rafts, trying to board one and escape.
