Gu Chenge's Adam's apple bobbed up and down, and he gripped the remote control tighter and tighter, almost crushing it.
"Let me look for it."
He stared intently at the screen, knowing that even if she was his girlfriend, he couldn't act inappropriately.
"good."
This was the first time Wu Xiaoxiao had worn such revealing clothes in front of others. She was very nervous at first, but when she noticed that Gu Chenge didn't dare to look at her and avoided her gaze, she relaxed a little.
Two minutes later, Gu Chenge turned on a horror movie.
The movie opens with a gloomy and eerie old house in the mountains, accompanied by chilling music, which gives Wu Xiaoxiao goosebumps all over her body.
She had an urge to run away.
Gu Chenge looked at her worriedly: "Xiaoxiao, shall we watch a different movie?"
She was already dying before she even saw a ghost.
What if she has nightmares tonight when the ghost of her daughter comes out?
Wu Xiaoxiao was taken aback when she heard his voice, then shook her head: "Don't change it."
If it were her, she wouldn't have an excuse.
As the plot unfolded, Wu Xiaoxiao's breathing became lighter and lighter. Gu Chenge coughed beside her, and she was as frightened as a bird startled by the mere twang of a bow.
"Did I scare you?" Gu Chenge was genuinely worried that she would have nightmares tonight.
Wu Xiaoxiao forced herself to say, "It's okay."
Seeing her so stubborn, Gu Chenge sighed helplessly. A few minutes later, he warned, "High energy ahead."
The female protagonist is washing her face in the bathroom at this moment.
Wu Xiaoxiao's heart tightened.
The next second, the moment the female protagonist looked up, a face with bloody tears streaming from its eyes appeared in the mirror...
"ah!"
Wu Xiaoxiao exclaimed in surprise!
Even though she had heard his warning and was mentally prepared, the moment the female ghost suddenly appeared, she really felt her scalp tingle and her back go cold.
Gu Chenge didn't expect her to still be frightened, so she quickly comforted her, "Don't be afraid, it's all fake."
Upon hearing this, Wu Xiaoxiao's eyes flickered, and then she buried her face in his chest.
Wu Xiaoxiao rested her head against Gu Chenge's chest, one hand gripping his clothes, revealing her fair and slender neck, which came into Gu Chenge's view.
It looks so delicate and fragile.
It seemed as if it would break with just a gentle squeeze.
Gu Chenge's breath caught in her throat, her body stiffening like a stone, unable to move an inch.
But this can't go on.
He could feel her hot breath, which sprayed through his shirt onto his skin, each breath making him feel as if he were burning in a raging fire.
He comforted her, "It's alright, don't be afraid, the female ghost is gone."
But Wu Xiaoxiao didn't seem to hear it.
"Xiaoxiao?"
Gu Chenge looked at her worriedly: "Let's not watch anymore..."
Before he could finish speaking, Wu Xiaoxiao interrupted him: "No, keep watching."
Wu Xiaoxiao released his clothes, sat up straight, and stared at the screen, looking as if she wasn't the one who had been scared just now.
I'm really confused.
Why did she insist on watching it?
A glint of understanding flashed in Gu Chenge's eyes.
Wu Xiaoxiao was not as calm as she appeared, especially when the terrifying music started, her nerves were on edge.
"There are no ghosts in this world. We must believe in the power of science, prosperity, democracy, civility, harmony, freedom, and equality..."
Gu Chenge's voice surrounded Wu Xiaoxiao's ears, and Wu Xiaoxiao inexplicably stopped being afraid.
But this was not what she planned.
Wu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips: "Let's turn off the lights."
Gu Chenge was taken aback: "Are you sure?"
"Well, I want to build up my courage." This sounded a bit far-fetched, so Wu Xiaoxiao added, "I only dare to look when you're here."
Gu Chenge laughed upon hearing this: "Don't worry, even if there's a ghost, I'll shoot her dead. I won't let her scare you."
The atmosphere was even more intense after the lights were turned off.
Wu Xiaoxiao was extremely nervous. Although she was terrified, she had no choice but to keep her eyes glued to the screen, watching the main characters become more and more engrossed in the story. Her emotions were also heightened.
"ah--"
"There's a ghost!"
"Don't come any closer—"
On the screen, the main characters are shouting and running for their lives.
Off-screen, Wu Xiaoxiao was also startled and instinctively looked for Gu Chenge, throwing herself into his arms and trembling slightly.
With a soft, warm body in his arms, Gu Chenge's body immediately stiffened. He dared not move at all, letting Wu Xiaoxiao lean against him.
He thought that once she recovered, she would distance herself from him.
At that moment, Wu Xiaoxiao felt her heart pounding violently.
The terrifying scene from just now was still echoing in her mind.
She decided she would never watch horror movies again.
After regaining her composure, Wu Xiaoxiao did not immediately let go of Gu Chenge.
Because Gu Chenge didn't speak or push her away.
The timing is perfect.
Thinking of this, Wu Xiaoxiao pressed herself tightly against Gu Chenge's chest, hearing his strong and powerful heartbeat, and realized that she wasn't the only one who was nervous and scared.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here!"
Gu Chenge gently patted Wu Xiaoxiao's back, offering tender words of comfort.
However, what you touch is a smooth, tender skin.
Gu Chenge immediately withdrew his hand as if he had been burned.
The next second, Wu Xiaoxiao sat directly on his lap, wrapped her arms around his neck, and asked in a trembling voice, "It's too scary. Can I just look at it like this?"
Just then, the light from the screen illuminated Wu Xiaoxiao's face.
Her face was slightly pale, and her eyes were moist, making her look exceptionally pitiful.
