After playing for a while...
Her soft voice was bitter: "My head still hurts."
Lu Yibei stopped frantically clicking the mouse:
"Have you caught a cold?"
"No," Qingqian said, "I just didn't sleep well."
Lu Yibei silently swallowed back the words "drink more hot water":
"Then, shall we rest first?"
It's still early; it's not even dark yet.
Qingqian refused:
"No, I'm not playing games anymore. You'll watch a movie with me."
"Okay, what are you looking at?"
"Resident Evil: Dead Island, that CG animated movie."
Qingqian paused for a moment before continuing, "Don't worry, it's not scary."
Lu Yibei immediately raised his voice:
"What do you mean, 'scary' or 'not scary'? It's not like I can't watch scary movies!!"
Qingqian smiled gently, clearly recalling the pitiful look on Lu Yibei's face when the two of them first watched a horror movie together online.
"How about watching some horror movies to cheer yourself up?"
"I admit I spoke a little loudly just now..."
Resident Evil: Dead Island is an animated film, and its plot is not closely related to the classic live-action Resident Evil film; in fact, it is completely unrelated.
It is connected to the original game.
This movie has two male leads, and the one who appears now is named Chris Redfield.
He was a mature, burly man, about 1.85 meters tall and weighing nearly 200 pounds.
Lu Yibei felt that it inexplicably matched his dream.
"Before you spoke, this was roughly how I pictured you," he said to Qingqian.
But now, the clear, cool voice completely shattered his illusions, and even the headache from insomnia made her tone somewhat soft and cute:
"This male lead is notorious for killing off his teammates, no wonder you always die early when we're shooting..."
Lu Yibei: "..."
Thank you for describing my dish so tactfully.
After a female character with a ponytail appeared, Lu Yibei said, "Now this is the image of you in my mind."
“Claire, she’s Chris’s sister,” Qingqian said. “She’s not bad luck with her teammates.”
"Looks like I'll be able to die a little later," Lu Yibei said.
"She's bad luck with boyfriends," she said casually.
Lu Yibei: "..."
He wanted to say, "It's good that I'm not your boyfriend," but he didn't say it.
Why say such unpleasant things while watching a movie?
The movie wasn't really scary.
Lu Yibei has a high resistance to zombie themes.
To scare him, you need some folk items like wedding dresses, paper figures, or red and white candles.
The movie's CG is quite exquisite, and the visuals are also good.
But the plot is a bit boring.
"Shallow and shallow".
Lu Yibei mustered her courage: "What do you look like?"
He used to think Qingqian was a man and never asked her what she looked like.
Now that he knows she's a woman, he goes up to her and asks for her photos.
It's as if this upright gentleman is only after her beauty...
The soft voice immediately cooled to freezing point:
"It's ugly, don't ask."
The cold tone seemed to have hit a nerve.
While a clear, gentle voice is pleasant to listen to, there are far too many examples of people with beautiful voices but average looks. For instance, there was that internet celebrity from a few years ago who only revealed her face after gaining 100,000 subscribers…
"It's okay, I'm not good-looking either."
Lu Yibei immediately cut off the topic and returned to the movie itself: "There are too many zombies... Give me a sniper rifle, heroine, you go and wipe them all out."
He was just curious.
It doesn't really matter what Qingqian looks like.
His good relationship with Qingqian has nothing to do with their looks.
She is beautiful, and that is Qingqian.
She wasn't pretty, but she was still beautiful.
Seeing that Qingqian remained silent, Lu Yibei felt a little guilty. He shouldn't have brought up this mess. He racked his brains to think of some lighthearted topics to discuss.
She let out a soft, yet gentle sigh:
"In the future,"
"Hmm?" Lu Yibei said.
Can I come over to play?
"?"
"say."
"Nonsense, whether it's now or in the future, you can come find me anytime. You know my address." Lu Yibei quickly said, "I've asked you to come visit me before, but you wouldn't. Why have you suddenly changed your mind? So when are you coming? School starts soon... October?"
Qingqian never mentioned whether she was still studying or already working, but given how well the two of them matched, they were undoubtedly the same age.
A soft, gentle laugh:
"I was just saying."
"You've been holding onto this expectation for a long time, and you have to take responsibility."
"……Um."
Perhaps it was another headache, Qingqian simply gave a vague reply.
Lu Yibei and Qingqian watched the movie quietly. Although they were separated by a screen, and the real distance between them might be as far as the ends of the earth, at this moment it felt as if they were shoulder to shoulder, and they could hear each other's breathing.
Then, the scene changes.
The popular actress Gilles Valentian makes her appearance; she is hailed as "beautiful as water," and this is certainly true in the film, with her curvaceous figure making her incredibly alluring.
"Holy crap!" Lu Yibei exclaimed in surprise.
"Those breasts," Qingqian exclaimed.
...
Heaven bid farewell to August with a light rain.
Drizzling.
Lu Yibei braved the rain and went into a milk tea shop. After taking off the baseball cap covering his head, a series of water droplets dripped from his jet-black hair.
Do I need to scan a QR code to order food?
While asking the clerk behind the counter, he opened his phone and sent a message to Qingqian.
[Heading North: Still has a headache today?]
