…
To Chu Yang's surprise, they all managed to hold on.
Even as the movie reached its climax of terror, with thunder, wind, and rain raging outside, the two of them managed to endure it all.
It's as if whoever utters a sound first loses.
They all sat still without moving.
It seems this movie isn't scary enough. How about we make "Old Xi in the Mountain Village"?
Until the movie ended, I heard them both let out a long sigh of relief, then they looked at each other with the same smug expression.
"Let's watch something else. This one isn't scary enough. Let's watch something more explosive," Chu Yang said with a smile.
Xiao Li and Shu'er's expressions froze, indicating that they were resistant.
Just as Chu Yang was about to change the disc, Xiao Li quickly said, "Wait a minute!"
"What's wrong? It's still early," Chu Yang said.
"...I need to go to the toilet, will you come with me?" Xiaoli said somewhat awkwardly.
Chu Yang knew she was definitely scared.
"Okay, let's go."
She had only taken two steps when Shu'er called out to her, "You can't go with her!"
"Huh?" Xiaoli glared at her.
Shu'er didn't back down and glared at her back.
Actually, both of them were extremely panicked; one was afraid to go to the toilet alone, and the other was afraid to be left alone here.
"Alright, stop glaring at me. Let's go to the bathroom together and then come back together. Is that alright?" Chu Yang said helplessly.
Shu'er thought it was a good idea, since she also needed to use the restroom.
So the three of them went to the restroom together.
The thunder outside stopped, and the company was quiet. Chu Yang turned on the lights in the corridor.
Xiao Li and Shu'er followed closely behind him.
When we were halfway there.
Boom!
Another thunderclap boomed.
This sound was much louder than the previous ones; it was deafening.
Then the corridor lights flashed!
Then it went out completely.
Xiao Li and Shu'er were terrified. They were already like frightened birds, and they almost peed their pants on the spot.
Xiao Li, who was already in a hurry to urinate, subconsciously squeezed her legs together.
Shu'er stood rooted to the spot, too afraid to move.
At this moment, the corridor was so dark that you could hardly see your hand in front of your face, and you couldn't even see Chu Yang in front of you anymore.
"Chu Yang!"
"Chu Yang!"
The two shouted at the same time.
"I'm here."
His voice reached their ears and calmed their panicked emotions.
Then I heard footsteps approaching, and his large, warm hand grasped mine again.
This time, Xiaoli and Shuer did not resist, but held on tightly.
"Don't be afraid, it's just a power outage. I'll take you with me," Chu Yang said gently.
After saying that, he led them toward the restroom.
When he arrived at the bathroom door, he took out his phone, turned on the flashlight, and handed it to Xiaoli.
"You go first, don't be afraid, I'll guard the door."
“…Hmm.” Xiao Li responded softly, took two steps, and seeing that he was still holding Li Qing Shu’s hand, she immediately became somewhat unwilling.
Chu Yang didn't let go and urged, "Go quickly, I'll hold your hand like this when Shu'er goes in later."
"Hmph, who wants you to hold my hand?" Xiaoli turned and went into the bathroom.
However, the door wasn't closed completely; it was just left ajar.
After urinating for a while, she quickly came out.
"Here you go." She handed the phone to Shuer.
Shu'er let go of Chu Yang's hand, took the phone, and saw Chu Yang reach out and hold Shen Li's hand.
She hesitated, then silently went into the bathroom.
After she finished and came out, Chu Yang said, "I can aim without a light. You guys take it and wait for me outside."
Then put their hands together.
Xiao Li and Shu'er instinctively tried to break free.
"Ghosts and monsters love to bully people who are alone," Chu Yang muttered quietly.
These words were so effective that the two almost held hands.
Chu Yang smiled and said, "Don't fight, I'll be fine soon."
After he finished urinating, he saw the two holding hands, not daring to move. It seemed they had truly believed his lies.
He wasn't about to miss such a good opportunity, so he stepped forward and took their hands.
Then, with a helpless sigh, he said, "The power's out! But it's still early. How are we going to get through this long night? Why don't we hold a candle and talk, and embrace each other..."
Before she could finish speaking, Xiaoli and Shuer glared at her.
Although he couldn't see clearly in the dark, Chu Yang knew they all looked fierce.
"Okay, I got it. We'll all sleep separately tonight. Make sure you lock the doors to prevent me from sneaking in."
No sooner had he finished speaking than the corridor lights suddenly came on.
Xiao Li and Shu'er were startled and screamed again, but quickly realized it was a phone call.
Light always brings a sense of security, so Xiaoli and Shuer were not so scared anymore.
Then they all let go of Chu Yang's hand.
"The power came back on so quickly?" Chu Yang asked with a regretful expression.
"Shall we continue watching movies? This time, let's skip the horror and watch a comedy to relax," he suggested.
Shuer and Xiaoli had no objections.
So they returned to the audiovisual room.
Chu Yang hesitated for a moment, then took a disc and put it into the DVD player.
Soon the movie title appeared on the screen.
...The Deer and the Cauldron!
Keywords: Five wives.
Yes, the movie is more modest than the original novel, only showing Wei Xiaobao's five wives.
At the beginning of the movie, Xiaoli and Shuer didn't realize it yet; they just thought the movie was quite funny, and Stephen Chow's portrayal of Wei Xiaobao was quite hilarious.
After experiencing the heavy blow from Chu Yang and the shock of watching the horror movie, both of them felt relieved and laughed from time to time.
But when you see Wei Xiaobao first with Jianning, then with Da Shuang'er and Xiao Shuang'er, then with Long'er, and then taking A'ke as his concubine...
