NOVEL WEB Lin Xiaomi felt exhausted every day after running around to gather news with Sun Ru. Even so, she had a full life.
On the way home after dinner, Leng Yihuang suddenly said, “I’ve downloaded a very good movie today. We’re free at night, so how about watching it together? ”
Lin had got no time to entertain herself lately, so she asked, “Sure, I haven’t watched a movie for a long time. What movie?”
Leng kept her guessing and said, “You’ll know when seeing it.”
They deliberately went to the supermarket in the community and bought a lot of snacks.
Back home, Leng went to have a quick shower first. As soon as Lin changed her clothes, he came out. “It’s your turn.”
Lin asked in surprise, “You’ve finished already? It’s too quick. Why the rush?”
If his hair hadn’t been wet, she would even have doubted whether he had a shower.
“I’m not in a hurry. You go and bathe yourself.”
Lin looked at Leng suspiciously, feeling something odd, but couldn’t see where.
When she finished the shower, he already drawn all the curtains, wore his comfortable pajamas, combed his hair in a sexy way, and stared at her.
She then saw him place the snacks on the bed and the computer at the end of the bed.
It looked so funny! Was the movie really that good? He was dying to watch it.
He dragged her into bed before she could dry her hair. When the light was turned off, and the playing button was pressed, the faint light from the computer flashed in the pitch-dark room.
When the opening music started, the pitch-dark room looked scarier.
She was opening a bag of potato chips to eat at the moment. Hearing the music, she paused for a while and looked up, seeing the bloodcurdling red color filling the screen.
“A ghost movie?” asked she in an undertone with her wrinkled brows.
He had been observing her all the time and said eagerly upon seeing her knitted brows, “Yes, a super scary ghost movie. Are you afraid?”
It was dark at the room, so she didn’t pay attention to his tone and said shaking her head, “No, I’m not.” However, her knitted brows weren’t smoothed thereafter.
He almost made sure that she felt scared, which was proven by her furrowed brows.
“No worries, I’m here. If you feel afraid, you can snuggle against me, and I’ll lend a shoulder to you.”
Not until now did she is aware of what he was up to.
After speechlessly glancing at him, she put the snacks down and turned her back against him, pressing her face after using her thumbs to crook the corners of her eyes and using her forefingers to crook the corners of her lips. When he patted her shoulder and asked what she was doing, she suddenly turned back and asked in a muffled voice, “Do you call me?”
He stood aghast and gasped, even forgetting to scream.
Seeing his hand frozen in the air, she couldn’t help patting her thighs and smiling.
“Hahaha, I’m not afraid at all. If you feel scared, I can lend a foot to you,” said she gloatingly.
When he finally resumed his consciousness, he speechlessly glared at her. Actually, he wasn’t afraid of it and just found her behavior too abrupt.
Besides, she, clad in the white pajamas, just finished the shower with her long scattered hair hanging down her shoulders, which originally made him aroused.
His heart was still beating rapidly.
As the movie went on, he even found it scary, especially after she scared him.
He had waited for her screams from the beginning, but after such a long time, he only heard her eating the snacks.
Wasn’t she afraid?
As he was thinking that it was unscientific, she screamed. He immediately opened his arms and waited for her, but she murmured with a normal face, “It’s a good movie. It looks quite scary.”
He, “…”
Did she act like it was scary?
He prepared his hug all night, but it wasn’t put into use.
When the movie was over, she turned the light on and then saw him sitting there with an unhappy face.
“What’s the matter? It’s a good movie, isn’t it?”
He felt frustrated. “Are you female or not? Why don’t you feel scared?”
She curled her lips, knowing that this was exactly his plan.
“I’m fine. I know this is made up. What’s more, I’ve got the guts. When I first entered the Lin family, Lin Xin’er often asked me to watch ghost movies with her. At that time, I was so scared that my screams filled the entire villa and didn’t dare to sleep all night. But I got used to it.”
She went to re-brush her teeth and came out waving at him. “I’ll go to sleep. Good night.”
He sat there in a daze and got his heart ached suddenly.
No wonder why she wasn’t afraid but her brows were knitted in the beginning. Did he remind her of the bad memories?
Lin Xin’er! Ho!
Little as she was at that time, Lin Xin’er was so scheming.
Sooner or later, he would make Lin Xin’er play a ghost movie.
Suddenly, a scene conjured up in his mind that a little girl sat in a corner alone and shivered with the quilt over her head.
When Lin Xiaomi was about to sleep after lying down, Leng Yihuang suddenly kissed her forehead softly.
As she opened her eyes, she saw him squatting in front of her.
He rubbed her hair and said in a low voice with a serious face, “We won’t watch ghost movies again.”
It never occurred to her that he would take this seriously. It was alright. After all those years, she wasn’t afraid of ghost movies at all.
However, it felt good that someone cared about her words and thoughts.
She then said back with a smile, “Eh, good night.”
“Good night.” Seeing her fall into sleep, he went to the bed with the computer and logged into the forum again.
There were more messages left.
A poster said, “Buying two lover’s seats at a cinema for a romantic movie. You two huddle each other. When the intimate plots come out…”
Stroking his chin, he thought that this was worth a shot.
The next day when she was at work, she suddenly got a call from Jiang Hui. The moment she put it through, she heard Jiang’s angry voice, “I heard from Xin’er you gad a boyfriend? Why haven’t you told me? Do you date a hooligan again?”
