Chapter 261 Pretending



Upon hearing this, Bai Ye immediately straightened his back and retorted, "I have super strong control, okay? As a proper man, I'm absolutely top-notch in that area!"

After saying that, he patted his chest to show that what he said was true.

Seeing this, Xia Qingyue couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle. She was too lazy to argue with Bai Ye, thinking that she should just let this cute little brat retain a bit of his pitiful self-esteem.

If Bai Ye knew what Xia Qingyue was thinking at this moment, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood on the spot.

Seeing Xia Qingyue smile, Bai Ye frowned, pondering to himself:

This clearly shows they don't believe in my abilities, but even so, I can't just take off my pants to prove it, can I?

That's outrageous! It's downright thuggish behavior!

No, no, we still have some pride to lose!

So, Bai Ye's eyes darted around, and she quickly changed the subject: "Um... Sister Qingyue, we need to find something to watch, right? Is there anything you particularly want to see?"

After all, the TV is already on; if we just sit here doing nothing, wouldn't that be a waste of electricity?

Moreover, Bai Ye herself doesn't usually watch dramas; she might occasionally watch anime.

However, although television has a fairly complete range of functions, due to certain restrictions, some bloody and violent anime simply cannot be imported and broadcast.

Besides, even if you could watch it through other means, you can't bypass the Great Firewall to access this TV.

So what exactly should he look at? Bai Ye really had no clue.

Just then, Xia Qingyue answered without hesitation, "Then let's watch a horror movie!"

"ah!"

It's worth noting that nowadays, most girls tend to prefer various TV dramas, especially those with high-颜值 (good-looking) casts of handsome male actors, and many of them are also keen on following celebrities.

However, Bai Ye thought about it again and realized that this did fit the impression Xia Qingyue had left on him—she didn't seem like the kind of girl who would be a crazy fan of celebrities.

At this moment, Xia Qingyue gently lifted Bai Ye's chin with her finger with a slightly teasing smile, and said, "What? Is your little brother afraid of watching horror movies?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Ye was speechless.

Actually, when it comes to horror movies, he was indeed very afraid of them when he was a child, especially when watching "Detective Conan," where he was often terrified. Recalling that experience, Bai Ye still feels lingering fear.

However, that happened when I was seven or eight years old.

As Bai Ye grew older, her fear of horror movies gradually lessened.

Nowadays, he can say that he rarely feels real fear from horror movies anymore.

Perhaps one reason is that he watches relatively few horror movies.

Back in his junior high and high school years, he almost completely avoided television dramas, immersing himself entirely in the world of anime and novels.

Bai Ye said calmly, "Horror movies? I'm not scared at all, but I'm worried that you might be scared, Sister Qingyue."

Upon hearing this, Xia Qingyue couldn't help but chuckle softly. Her laughter was as clear and melodious as a silver bell, making one's heart flutter.

She tilted her head slightly, looking at Bai Ye with gentle, watery eyes, and said coquettishly:

"That's good, you little rascal. If you get really scared later, just quickly snuggle into your big sister's warm embrace. I'll definitely comfort you."

As she spoke, she deliberately puffed out her ample chest, the high curves of which were faintly visible, as if extending a silent invitation to Bai Ye.

Bai Ye subconsciously lowered his head and glanced at Xia Qingyue's broad and alluring chest, his heart filled with turbulent emotions.

However, he quickly suppressed the agitation in his heart, feigning disdain as he curled his lip and muttered to himself:

"Hmph, trying to seduce me with your beauty? No way!"

Nevertheless, his gaze kept drifting towards Xia Qingyue, as if he wanted to admire that captivating scenery a few more times.

At this moment, Xia Qingyue stretched out a jade-like arm and gently took Bai Ye's arm, then affectionately rested her head on his shoulder.

Her silky smooth hair gently brushed against Bai Ye's cheek, bringing a faint fragrance that was intoxicating.

With her other hand, she skillfully operated the remote control, carefully selecting horror movies from among a wide selection.

Finally, a movie that was supposedly extremely terrifying started playing on the screen.

As the plot unfolds, eerie music and visuals gradually appear before one's eyes. Bai Ye initially tries to remain calm, thinking that ordinary horror movies can't scare him at all.

But gradually, the film became more and more thrilling, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense and oppressive. Even the usually bold Bai Ye felt a chill down his spine.

However, looking at Xia Qingyue beside him, she showed no fear whatsoever, watching the movie with a leisurely air, and even occasionally exchanging a few words about the plot with Bai Ye.

Seeing Xia Qingyue's composed demeanor, Bai Ye suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

How can a dignified and upright man show cowardice in front of a woman?

So he gritted his teeth, desperately suppressing his inner fear, trying to maintain a blank and fearless expression, his eyes fixed on the screen as if trying to glare away all the fear.

Xia Qingyue was originally staring intently at the television screen, but at some point, her gaze quietly left the flickering images and slowly moved downwards.

When her gaze finally fell on the arm she was tightly holding, a strange feeling welled up inside her—the arm was trembling slightly.

Then, her gaze followed the arm and finally settled on a hand that was trembling slightly.

Seeing this, Xia Qingyue could no longer hold back and quickly covered her mouth with her other hand, afraid that she would burst out laughing.

This bratty little brother, who always pretends to be strong, suddenly seems so cute and funny.

She secretly wondered: Should I scare him a little?

But after thinking about it again, I gave up the idea.

After all, for someone as worldly-wise as her, this horror movie was nothing special and couldn't really scare her.

However, seeing Bai Ye's feigned composure yet barely concealed nervousness, she suddenly had an idea: why not just pretend to be terrified, which might help him maintain his so-called manly dignity?

After a brief moment of thought, Xia Qingyue felt that the idea seemed pretty good.

Then, her delicate body leaned forward, and she gently nestled into Bai Ye's broad and warm chest like a blooming flower.

At the same time, her body began to tremble slightly uncontrollably, as if she were really frightened, and she looked extremely pitiful.
