Xiao Qifeng's face remained calm, even indifferent.
Compared to Lu Wanzheng's expressive face, Xiao Qifeng could be described as expressionless.
He would occasionally hear the "crunch, crunch" of popcorn popping in his ears. If Lu Wanzheng hadn't been holding his arm tightly, he would have doubted whether she could handle this type of movie alone.
The music, sometimes quiet, sometimes intense, is captivating and immersive; the storyline is fast-paced, and the scenery is desolate.
The once quiet living room became somewhat eerie under the influence of a sense of dread. Lightning illuminated the curtains, and the shadows cast on the curtains by the glass windows looked like terrifying tentacles reaching out to them.
As the movie's plot unfolded, reaching its most terrifying part, Lu Wanzheng instinctively leaned against Xiao Qifeng, her hand holding the popcorn stopping and instead pressing it tightly against her face. To be honest, it was genuinely a bit scary, and the eerie music made her uneasy.
The screen suddenly lit up, and a face with wide-open, completely black pupils filled the entire screen. Her mouth was opening and closing as if she were saying something, but it was impossible to hear what she was saying.
Holy crap! I'm facing a critical hit!
The scene was truly terrifying, and Lu Wanzheng's heart skipped a beat, but she didn't scream.
A sharp cry suddenly rang out in the otherwise quiet living room, "Meow!"
—Potato says he was shocked by this direct and brutal attack!!!
"Potato's meowing, go and bring it up." Lu Wanzheng peeked out and found Potato at Xiao Qifeng's feet, its head buried behind his legs, its front paws wrapped around its head, and it was making "woof woof woof" sounds.
Xiao Qifeng bent down and picked Potato up from the ground with one hand. He could clearly feel Potato's body trembling. "Did he get scared watching a horror movie with us?" he asked, puzzled, while patting his back reassuringly. This was probably the gentlest moment Xiao Qifeng had ever shown Potato.
"No way!" Lu Wanzheng smiled smugly. "You're a boy, how can you be so timid?" She scratched Potato's chin. "Alright, I know. I'll find you a brave female cat in the future, so you can hide in its arms when you encounter something scary."
Potato:"……"
—You have no heart!!!
The female dog isn't there now!
After being comforted by Xiao Qifeng, Tudou stopped trembling, but turned his head to the side and stopped looking at the TV screen.
Lu Wanzheng leaned on Xiao Qifeng's shoulder, "Mr. Xiao, do you think Potato can sleep alone by himself tonight?"
“I don’t know if it can sleep alone, I just care about whether you can sleep alone,” he said, looking down at the potato curled up on his lap. “Actually, these horror movies aren’t scary at all. They just use darker lighting and seductive music to create a scary atmosphere, and then the main character shouts to evoke the viewer’s fear and create resonance. That’s what makes people feel scared.”
Xiao Qifeng really wanted to sleep with Lu Wanzheng, hold her, comfort her, and tell her not to be afraid.
But he was worried that Lu Wanzheng would be trapped in fear, so he very rationally analyzed why horror movies make people feel scared.
The screen suddenly lit up, illuminating the faces of the two people. Lu Wanzheng looked up at Xiao Qifeng, who was giving her a serious analysis.
