The ticket seller added: âItâs a domestic horror film.â
Lu Weixi: ââ¦â
Qin Zhiyou: ââ¦â
So-called domestic horror films rely principally on sound effects to instill fear, they exploit sex appeal to attract audience, logic is virtually non-existent, and regardless of what god or ghost appears, it all turns out to be a dream in the end, or the protagonist is simply insane.
Looking up at the poster, shoved into a small corner by romance and action films, was âGod X Battles Ghost Y: Part 2â. With such a set-up, they actually dared to make a sequel?
After a moment, Qin Zhiyou coughed lightly: âThereâs no other way, weâll have to go back and buy clothes. You see, even Heaven doesnât want us to watch the movie.â
Lu Weixi panicked and nodded immediately: âThis, this one, I want to watch this!â
She, who wouldnât dare watch even a little ghost story normally and never watched a horror film before, thinks that going back to buy those SEX branded clothes is scarier than watching a horror movie!
Qin Zhiyou knew this all too well. Initially, he objected but after one glance at the ticket booth, he nodded with utter earnestness: âRight, life needs a bit of a thrill. Weâll watch this. Get two tickets, for these seats.â
The ticket seller nodded, and Qin Zhiyou quickly bought the tickets. Lu Weixi glanced at them and was a bit surprised, what kind of tickets are these that cost 300 yuan!
Qin Zhiyou coolly explained: âItâs a combo, comes with Coke and popcorn. Do you want to eat?â
Since theyâve bought it, of course, she had to eat.
âWait for me then.â Qin Zhiyou finally let go of her hand and went to the concession stand. He soon reappeared carrying a huge tub of popcorn and a cup of Coke.
Lu Weixi took her popcorn, tasted a couple of mouthfuls, and Qin Zhiyou even asked, âIs it good?â
Lu Weixi nodded: âMm.â Then naturally grabbed a handful and stuffed it into Qin Zhiyouâs mouth.
Lu Weixiâs hand trembled, almost spilling the entire tub of popcorn. She quickly pulled her hand back and didnât dare to eat anymore. Seeing the Coke in Qin Zhiyouâs hand, she immediately took it. She strategically took a few sips to conceal her emotions, then remembered something: âDidnât you buy one for yourself?â
They could share the popcorn, but there was only one cup of Coke.
âI got one.â Qin Zhiyou replied casually, leaning in to take a sip from the straw sheâd been using.
âAh!â Lu Weixi jumped in fright, almost dropping the popcorn and Coke. Luckily, Qin Zhiyou, who had his hand underneath them, quickly steadied them.
âBe careful. If you spill it all, I wonât have anything to eat or drink.â
Normally, Lu Weixi would have retorted cleverly, but this time she turned her head away and ignored him.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
However, when it was almost time to enter the theater, Lu Weixi chickened out.
Even though it was a domestic horror film, Lu Weixi had never watched one before and she was a bit nervous, âOr, or shall weâ¦â
âGo back and buy clothes?â Qin Zhiyou finished her sentence skip, and then offered an alternative, âThereâs also that romantic film. Itâs almost out of the cinema, though itâs fully booked, I can still get tickets. How about we go to the theater next doorâ¦â
Before he could finish the sentence, Lu Weixi strutted grandly into the screening room without a hint of hesitation.
But the moment she entered the door, she realized why Qin Zhiyou chose this movieâ¦
