Chapter 84 Let's watch a movie to calm our nerves.
"Finally finished."
Yu Qing stretched comfortably, stood up from the chair, rubbed her sore neck, and turned her head to see Lu Chi holding Erdan, looking down at his phone.
He leaned closer and saw that the other person was reading news reports about murder cases from the past two days.
"You're looking at this again?" Yu Qing frowned.
He had seen this case yesterday. It tells the story of a mother who was willing to give up her life for her son, and the murderer who was willing to become a murderer for his mother. It's heartbreaking to watch.
Lu Chi looked up at him, somewhat bewildered, and said, "Do you think love can really cover up all transgressions?"
Yu Qing thought for a moment and said, "It depends on the situation. If one person's mistake requires two people to bear the consequences, it is indeed very unfair to both families."
“Yes, I think so too,” Lu Chi said softly.
Seeing that Lu Chi seemed a little down, Yu Qing patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't think too much about it. I heard online that there's a really good movie. Let's go see it together!"
"But... I've never been to a movie theater."
"It's okay, I'll take you there."
Lu Chi looked up at him: "But Erdan is still sleeping."
Yu Qing glanced at the cat nestled in his arms, then smacked its bottom. Erdan opened its eyes, looking bewildered: "Okay, it's awake now."
"But I haven't graded your test paper yet."
"Oh, no buts, let's go!"
Yu Qing grabbed Lu Chi by the shoulder and forcibly dragged him out the door.
The two arrived at the movie theater, where colorful posters hung at the entrance, and trailers for various movies played incessantly.
Yu Qing pulled Lu Chi to the ticket counter, her eyes scanning the movie schedule before finally settling on a film called "The Great Hypnotist." The poster showed the protagonist manipulating the female lead like a puppeteer, his gaze deep and mysterious, making him quite captivating.
"Let's look at this one. I read online that it's quite interesting," Yu Qing said, pointing to the poster.
Lu Chi hesitated for a moment: "But...it looks a bit scary."
I'm afraid you'll be scared.
Lu Chi didn't say the last sentence.
"It's alright, I've got my big brother here." Yu Qing patted his chest confidently and said excitedly, "Horror movies are more exciting, aren't they?"
"All right!"
Lu Chi thought for a moment and finally nodded.
The two bought tickets, popcorn, and cola.
When Yu Qing entered the screening room, her expression became somewhat unnatural.
He noticed that everyone watching the movie was a couple, and they were the only two grown men walking together. Moreover, they were the last to enter, so everyone couldn't help but look at them.
Although those glances didn't mean anything else, he still felt a little awkward, cursing inwardly: Damn it, I should have chosen a different movie.
Horror movies are often watched by young couples.
I have no idea why those two grown men came to join in the fun.
Yu Qing found a seat near the middle and sat down.
The couples around them whispered among themselves, and the atmosphere grew tense. Before the movie started, the lights gradually dimmed, leaving only the flickering trailer on the screen.
Lu Chi was clearly visiting for the first time, and everything was new and exciting. He looked around and asked curiously, "Why do they all like to sit in the back?"
"Maybe the view will be better from there."
"Then why don't we go to the back?"
"We are minors, we can't go to the back."
"But there are also some ahead..."
"No buts. Don't pry into other people's business. Just watch your movie," Yu Qing said seriously.
"Oh." Lu Chi had no choice but to look away and focus on the movie.
The movie started.
The images on the screen began to flow slowly, accompanied by eerie music, and Yu Qing and Lu Chi became completely immersed in the experience.
It has to be said that although this movie is labeled as a suspense film, it looks no different from a horror movie.
Especially at the beginning, the scene was quite startling.
Yu Qing was so frightened that she could only hide her fear by drinking cola.
Until a terrifying scene appeared.
Startled, he quickly turned his head away.
Just then, I saw Lu Chi staring intently at the screen, completely absorbed in the experience.
Aren't you afraid?
Yu Qing looked around and asked in a low voice.
"It's very interesting. Using hypnosis to block out memories of 'evil' and make oneself feel like a good person—the director's idea is very bold," Lu Chi said while looking at the screen. Suddenly, he remembered something and asked, "By the way, you just said this is a horror movie. Why haven't the scary scenes come yet?"
Yu Qing just wanted to say, "Can you fucking stop being so calm?"
The terrifying scenes have appeared several times already, okay?
But he still pretended to be an American boy, shrugged, and stubbornly said, "Yeah, it's not scary at all. It's just like watching Piggy Hero, it's very normal!"
Lu Chi turned around and looked back, asking, "Why are all the people behind us looking down? What are they doing?"
"I guess you were scared. After all, not everyone is as brave as us, bro."
“Yes, that makes sense.” Lu Chi nodded in agreement.
Continue to focus on the movie.
Upon seeing this, Yu Qing breathed a sigh of relief; he was genuinely afraid that this simpleton would continue asking questions.
Time passed.
The movie quickly came to an end.
Before the lights in the screening room were even turned on, Yu Qing pulled Lu Chi away through the exit.
After leaving the movie theater, Lu Chi followed behind. He glanced back at the crowd, quickly caught up, and asked, "Why haven't they come out yet? Is the movie not over yet?"
"The movie is over."
"But why don't they come out?"
"I guess their legs went weak from fright. They'll be fine once they calm down."
"I see!"
