Chapter 129 is all fake.
Just as Xie Yanning had expected, things quickly calmed down.
There was no further ripple on the internet.
This doesn't involve anything like fairness or unfairness, and the school has already issued a statement, so there's no point in dwelling on it. Netizens' enthusiasm was quickly drawn to other things.
However, Xie Yanning always felt uneasy.
Su Wanwan stroked his furrowed brows: "Professor Xie, cheer up, frowning will give you wrinkles soon."
Xie Yanning grabbed her mischievous hand, "You're really something."
"How about we watch a movie?" Su Wanwan said.
Thinking about those things is pointless.
Having slept quite a bit in the afternoon, Su Wan wasn't sleepy at all in the evening. She pulled someone to snuggle up on the sofa and randomly picked a movie to watch.
"What do you want to watch?" Su Wanwan randomly pressed the remote control, one program after another.
"It will be all right."
Su Wanwan remembered that the two of them had been mistaken for watching that kind of movie at the beginning, and decided to clear her name. "Let's watch this one."
That classic Chinese horror film.
Xie Yanning remembered it as soon as she saw the title, and chuckled softly, "Why did you think of watching this?"
"I mainly want to tell you that I'm watching serious movies."
"I've never said before that this isn't a serious film."
"You think I watch those kinds of movies!" Su Wanwan pinched him.
Xie Yanning pulled her into his arms and said, "Yes, I'm sorry." Although it was an apology, Su Wanwan could clearly hear the smile he couldn't hide.
Su Wanwan was so angry that she wanted to pinch him again.
Unfortunately, it didn't work out this time because someone grabbed his hand.
"If you pinch me again, I'm not going to look at any of them," Xie Yanning said.
"Then what are you going there for?"
"What do you think?" Xie Yanning said ambiguously.
Su Wanwan raised an eyebrow. Was this some kind of punishment?
Modern society is stressful, and many people cannot obtain what they desire.
Xie Yanning: "..."
"Control your expression, you're acting like a female hooligan right now."
"So, Professor Xie, will you let me be a pervert?" Su Wanwan whispered in his ear, her warm breath tickling Xie Yanning's ear.
Seeing Xie Yanning's expression, Su Wanwan chuckled softly, her gaze fixed intently on him.
The dim, yellow light added an extra layer of allure.
Xie Yanning felt thirsty and was about to kiss the person in front of him when Su Wanwan blocked her with her hand, saying, "Want to watch a movie?"
Xie Yanning was both annoyed and amused, and gently pinched her waist in the same way.
"Oh dear," Su Wanwan said aggrievedly, "you've been abusing me."
Who is committing domestic violence against whom?
"Then why are you still coming closer?" Xie Yanning asked.
"Then we'll each sit separately?" She didn't care.
"..."
"You can let go." Xie Yanning's strong hand was still on her waist. To be honest, Su Wanwan was actually a little itchy.
Her waist has always been very sensitive, and it took her some time to get used to Xie Yanning's embrace.
Gripping it firmly is fine, but the worst thing is just gently rubbing it.
"I won't let go," Xie Yanning said. He also clearly knew Su Wanwan's weakness, so he lightened his grip a bit. He could still feel her temperature through her thin pajamas.
Su Wanwan had no choice but to grab his hand to stop him from causing trouble.
"Just enjoy the movie, what are you doing?"
On the huge projection screen in front, the movie's opening theme had already finished playing.
It starts off in a gloomy atmosphere.
Amidst the eerie and sinister children's voices, in the dark thickets, a shaggy moon hangs high, wisps of smoke rise from the jungle, and a heavily made yet slightly old-fashioned bridal sedan chair sways as it emerges.
A gust of wind blew, lifting the veil and revealing a deathly pale face.
Then came the laughter of children.
Despite her seemingly innocent nature, the atmosphere in which she appeared gave off a chilling and unsettling feeling.
Su Wanwan unconsciously pulled her legs up from under the sofa.
In many horror movies, a ghostly hand appears under the sofa.
Noticing her movements, Xie Yanning asked, "Are you scared?"
"Just kidding, how could that be? I use horror movies as lullabies."
Su Wanwan used to be genuinely unafraid, but she couldn't resist the ghost stories told by the doctors and nurses at the hospital when she was on night shift.
In addition, there are some things that happen in hospitals that they try to call scientific, but can't explain the scientific reasoning behind them.
Humans are capable of imagination, and the things we imagine can be far more terrifying than reality.
Su Wanwan swallowed hard and unconsciously leaned closer to Xie Yanning.
Xie Yanning hugged the person tighter, "I'm scared, maybe we shouldn't watch?"
“No need,” Su Wanwan said.
She's not the type to give up halfway.
Xie Yanning really couldn't do anything about her.
Suddenly, the music tensed up, and outside the window was a hunched figure. Su Wanwan didn't dare to look at him for a moment, burying her head in her arms and turning her head slightly to ask, "Is he out yet?"
As expected of a classic Chinese horror film, the cinematography is excellent.
At the very least, the atmosphere was very well created.
Unfortunately, Xie Yanning, being a science student, didn't believe it at all and could only act as the commentator: "She's coming out soon, you'd better not look. Oh, she's coming out, disheveled and pale-faced. It turns out to be that ghost bride, who wants to see the lover who abandoned her back then."
His words were so blunt that they lacked any artistic conception.
Su Wanwan: "..." Thank you, but the atmosphere is completely ruined.
She mustered her courage and looked at the screen, but unfortunately, a distorted, pale ghost face with bloodshot eyes appeared—an enlarged version at that. Su Wanwan gasped in fright and froze, too scared to move.
Xie Yanning: "..."
He didn't understand, but he respected.
He gently hugged the person, "Don't be afraid, it's all fake!"
Su Wanwan: How could I not know it's fake?
But if it's fake, will it scare me?
After watching this movie, Su Wanwan definitely had some aftereffects.
When she went to the restroom and looked at herself in the mirror, she always felt like someone was watching her from behind.
She's starting to regret it.
Why can't we just watch a heartwarming and romantic love movie? Why do we have to make a horror movie?
It is said that this film terrified many people at the time.
Su Wanwan thought she was immune.
It turns out she was overthinking it.
When going to sleep, Su Wanwan nestled into Xie Yanning's arms more consciously than usual.
She had her face buried in his shoulder and neck, but then she felt a chill down her back. She didn't have eyes in the back of her head, and she was always afraid that something would come and get her.
After thinking for a moment, Su Wanwan turned around, her back to Xie Yanning, and felt safe only when she held his hand to her chest.
Except for certain times, Xie Yanning didn't like Su Wanwan having her back to him.
He straightened the person.
Su Wanwan: "What's wrong?" Her mind was filled with the image of the female ghost in red, hanging from the rafters, her pale face, her swollen red fingernails, and her embroidered shoes swaying in the wind.
It feels chilly even in bed.
"Are you scared?"
"Just a little bit." Su Wanwan took a deep breath.
"Then how about we do something else to distract ourselves?" Xie Yanning asked.
