Chapter 45 I really don’t want to let go.
Ever since Gu Xun sat over, Yue Qianling's mind has no longer been focused on the movie.
Boys' bodies seem to be naturally harder.
Their legs were pressed together neither too loose nor too tight, the distance between them was not too great, and there were two layers of clothes between them, but Yue Qianling could still clearly feel the warmth coming from his body.
The air conditioner in the living room was turned on quite high. Yue Qianling didn't know whether his body temperature was higher or her own.
Therefore, although the movie was not scary, Yue Qianling's nerves were unconsciously tense.
She stared at the screen, hoping that some exciting scene would appear soon to divert her attention.
But she didn't expect that the reason why this movie is classified as a thriller is that it does not have any positive ghost images, but uses various supernatural events to create a horror atmosphere.
In addition, the wind was strong on summer nights, and the windows made creaking sounds from time to time, which invisibly added to the eerie effect of the film.
In the movie, the protagonist's cell phone keeps receiving calls from strangers. No one speaks after the calls are connected, and there is only gusts of cold wind in his ears.
At this moment, a strange vibrating sound was heard in the living room, almost synchronized with the movie.
Yue Qianling shuddered all over when she saw Gu Xun's phone screen light up and there was an incoming call with no notes.
She suddenly got goose bumps on her arms, and her temples were particularly tense.
After a few seconds, the vibration continued, but Gu Xun seemed to be immersed in the plot of the movie and did not react at all.
Yue Qianling couldn't help but touch him with her elbow.
"Your phone number."
Gu Xun drew some attention from the movie to his phone, glanced at it briefly, and then propped his head up to look at the TV.
"You answer it."
Yue Qianling shuddered all over, holding her breath, and gritted her teeth and said, "Gu Xun, you are so cowardly, are you really that scared?"
"Um?"
Gu Xun turned his head to look at her, with a faint teasing smile in his eyes.
Under Yue Qianling's nervous gaze, he leaned over to pick up the phone, answered it and put it to his ear.
"Who?"
There was no sound on the phone.
Just then a gust of wind made the windows rattle, which was a bit creepy.
Gu Xun's smile gradually faded.
"Anyone there?"
There was still no response from the other side.
Gu Xun cleared his throat.
"say."
“…”
Hearing this, Yue Qianling knew that no one was talking on the other end of the phone. Thinking of the plot of the movie, her temples began to throb and she grabbed Gu Xun's left hand.
The atmosphere suddenly froze.
There was still no sound on the other end of the phone. Gu Xun slowly turned his head and looked at his left hand.
Under the dim light of the screen, although Yue Qianling seemed to be staring at the TV calmly, her right hand was tightly holding him, and her fingers were restlessly stroking the back of his hand.
Gu Xun suddenly lost control of the phone. He whispered, "Yue Qianling, did you do this on purpose?"
Yue Qianling's eyebrows suddenly jumped, he glanced downward and quickly let go.
But before she could pull her fingertips away, he held them again.
And, he passed his fingers through the gaps between her fingers and clasped them tightly.
"You are so considerate," Gu Xun looked at her closely, a smile on his face, and said word by word, "You know I am scared."
“…”
Yin Xue on the other end of the phone listened to the entire conversation and suddenly felt that she had called at a very inappropriate time.
She had just gotten off the car and was heading back to the hotel. Thinking about Yue Qianling, she still felt a little uneasy.
I'm trapped outside, what should I do at night?
Who did you borrow the phone from?
Thinking of this, Yin Xue called back immediately.
The moment the man answered the phone, she was stunned.
Although she was not familiar with the voice, her sixth sense was terrifyingly strong.
She knew that the person who was speaking at this moment was Gu Xun.
She was so shocked that she didn't know how to start, so she remained silent.
Unexpectedly, in the next few seconds, she realized something even more shocking.
Yue Qianling is at Gu Xun's house at the moment.
Yin Xue didn't know how to describe her feelings, and couldn't digest this situation.
But even so, she did not forget the basic qualities of a best friend.
So after two seconds of silence, she hung up the phone.
There was a beep in the receiver.
Gu Xun suddenly felt a little uneasy.
Yue Qianling was frightened when she saw this, and asked tremblingly: "What happened? Who?"
Gu Xun frowned, took out his phone and glanced at the caller ID.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he found out that the number he dialed was the same as the last time.
Then he dimmed the screen and curled his lips slightly.
"I don't know. The other party didn't say anything."
Sensing Yue Qianling's nervousness, he sighed and added, "It's scary."
“…”
Yue Qianling's hands suddenly clenched tighter.
-
But there was no way Yue Qianling would admit that she was afraid.
Even as the movie plot gets increasingly spooky.
Although her eyes were fixed on the TV, the phone call just now kept coming back to her mind.
The more I thought about it, the more something seemed wrong.
As a staunch materialist, even though she was extremely scared, she still wanted to find out what was going on.
As she recalled it over and over again, the phone number she glanced at quickly suddenly popped into her mind.
That familiar number starts with...
oh.
Yue Qianling suddenly had an epiphany.
It’s Yin Xue.
She was the one who called back.
Maybe she heard the strange man's voice, so she didn't say anything.
Thinking of this, Yue Qianling's heart suddenly sank.
In the quiet environment, Gu Xun keenly felt her emotional changes.
He turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
Yue Qianling originally wanted to say that the call just now was from Yin Xue.
When the words came to her lips, she felt the warmth and real touch coming from her palm.
This feeling was like a vine clinging to her nerves, unconsciously controlling her consciousness.
"nothing."
The two of them didn't speak again.
When the movie reached its truly terrifying climax, the two people's tightly clasped hands did not separate.
Yue Qianling thought, she was indeed afraid.
But I really don’t want to let go.
-
At twelve o'clock, the movie began to come to an end.
A puppy adopted by the protagonist, perhaps able to sense something surreal, leads the protagonist out of the strange forest, and life returns to normal.
The protagonists who survived the disaster drove home happily and said that they would never camp in such a place again and would treat the life-saving dog well.
But no one noticed that the puppy sitting in the back seat had a strange expression.
The screen went black for a moment.
Then it automatically switches back to the desktop and the colors become bright.
Although the ending was terrifying when you think about it carefully, Yue Qianling didn't care at all.
At this moment, all her sensory cells were focused on the hand that was shaking with Gu Xun.
She couldn't believe that they had watched an entire movie in such an intimate manner.
At this moment, the living room was so quiet that even the sound of the TV could not be heard, only the breathing of the two people could be heard.
Yue Qianling felt that Gu Xun was motionless, so she slowly turned her head to look at him.
He also stared at the screen without blinking, as if he was still thinking about the ending of the plot.
Suddenly, he raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was thinking of something, and turned his head to look over.
His gaze met Yue Qianling's.
He didn't say what he was about to say, and just looked at her.
Yue Qianling recalled that someone once said that looking into the eyes of a person of the opposite sex for three seconds is enough to generate love.
What's more, she was facing a face like this, which made her heart beat fast at first sight.
She didn't know how long she and Gu Xun stared at each other like that. It seemed like there was no reason and they didn't look away.
But her chest was getting more and more swollen, and the blood in her body began to heat up.
Yue Qianling felt that if she continued to watch like this, she would be exposing all her emotions and thoughts clearly to Gu Xun.
So she cleared her throat, looked away, and asked, "Are you... still thinking about this plot?"
"What's so good about such a ridiculous plot?" He lowered his eyes and chuckled. The next second, his eyes fell on Yue Qianling's face again, "I was thinking--"
Before he finished speaking, Yue Qianling lowered his eyes to hide his panicked vision.
"Where's the plot going wrong? Isn't this great?"
Gu Xun was silent for a moment, and his tone returned to being nonchalant.
"How can a dog be that smart? With such a high IQ, why would it be a guard dog? Why not be a police dog?"
"Oh, really? Then you have a pretty high IQ, why don't you become a police dog?"
Gu Xun; "..."
As the topic changed, Yue Qianling felt the atmosphere relaxed a little.
It's not as hot anymore, there's some room to breathe.
So she pulled out her sweaty hand little by little.
-
It started late to begin with, and after chatting with Gu Xun for a while, the morning was already past midnight in the blink of an eye.
Yue Qianling felt that it was time to end her private chat with him, otherwise they would be alone in the middle of the night.
Who knows what will happen.
So she actually yawned pretending to be sleepy.
"I'm going to bed, do you have a new toothbrush?"
Gu Xun looked at her solemnly, then stood up and took out a new toothbrush and a new towel from the cupboard.
Because Yue Qianling had taken a shower when she came out, she only brushed her teeth, washed her hands, and prepared to go to bed.
When I returned to the living room, I found Gu Xun sitting on the sofa with a thin quilt next to him.
Yue Qianling knew what he meant.
But she couldn't accept it so calmly - because of taking her in, Gu Xun had to sleep on the sofa.
Moreover, he was busy until so late every day during this period, and he still took time out to send her home.
Yue Qianling felt a little reluctant to let him sleep on the sofa.
"I'll sleep on the sofa."
Yue Qianling said.
Gu Xun seemed to have heard something funny, the corners of his eyes raised and the corners of his mouth smiled wildly.
"I let the girl I was courting sleep on the sofa. If this gets out to others, will I still be a human being?"
“…”
Yue Qianling lowered her eyes and said, "It's okay. I might sleep better on the sofa. I like my bed."
"Being accustomed to your bed..." Gu Xun thought seriously, "Then you have to get used to it as soon as possible."
"……what ever."
Yue Qianling turned around and walked towards his room.
But the moment she opened the door, she remembered something else.
Although the next two days are weekends, she doesn't need to work overtime.
But she didn't know if there would be any emergency.
It would be bad if I couldn't find her by then and delayed the work progress.
but……
Now that she can't get her phone, she has no way to log into her social software on any device.
At present, it seems that only Gu Xun can serve as a bridge between her and the company.
But how to say it?
Let Gu Xun tell her colleagues that she can't go home and can't get her cell phone, so if she has anything to say, just contact him directly?
This seems to make people easily indulge in wild thoughts.
Yue Qianling turned around hesitantly and looked at Gu Xun.
Gu Xun looked at her from afar, and when there was no further response for a long time, he sat up lazily.
"Okay, just tell me."
Yue Qianling spent two seconds thinking about her words, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she saw that Gu Xun had already sat up straight, looking at her straight.
He tilted his head and raised his eyes, "Are you afraid to sleep alone?"
