[ No thought is spared to the possibility that someone may be overhearing their conversation; Xingqiu assumes most (if not all) of the young ladies are far too enthralled by the film's lead to really take note of them. That and there isn't anything particularly noteworthy about the topic of their discussion.
As for the man who stars in the film, if he were honest most of the relevant information he has gleaned has come from Chongyun himself. Unless he counts the prior knowledge gained through first-hand experience that the man is a paper bag-wearing oddball. And as far as Chongyun's suggestion goes, well, Xingqiu thinks it would take a lot more than vitamins to strengthen any frail man.
Regarding time and talent, Xingqiu wouldn't know, it's not like he has to juggle between responsibility and aspiration. So maybe he isn't as impressed as Chongyun. Instead, he lets his friend enjoy the film as he seemingly chokes his hand to death while a chorus of pleased squeals reverberates through the audience in intervals. In fact, he notes that he can even prepare himself for the delighted screams.
While he does follow the story along, his attention is also on the people within the audience. To his right is a freckled brunette who is holding a journal in her hands, the cover of the book is littered with pictures of the lead — some of these images he suspects were obtained without the man's approval.
Further past is a small girl whose features are quite similar to the brunette's, sisters perhaps? This girl is holding her phone up and it takes him a second to realize she is attempting to capture the whole of the film.
Turning his attention forward, in the seat ahead of them is a strawberry blond girl who is leaning forward in her seat. She is either the loudest person in the audience or their proximity gives her an edge. It takes him a moment before he opts to look back. There a girl wearing a shirt with Natori's face plastered on the front seems completed fixated on the movie until she notes him looking at her. Her expression turns sour before she mouths something that utterly confuses him.
He's mine.
Okay, yeah maybe he will keep his attention towards the front. It's through observing members of the audience that his gaze finally lands on the only other male member besides them. ]
