Chapter 15 Watching the Movie
After breakfast, Lanxi suggested watching a movie.
She said she wanted to watch a horror film that had been saved in her cloud drive for a long time.
She had not watched it because no one accompanied her.
Now that I was here, she had the courage.
I thought for a moment and said, "Okay."
I was actually very afraid of ghosts, but I did not say it.
I did not know why. Maybe I just wanted to leave a good impression in front of Lanxi.
The curtains were drawn tightly, blocking all light.
The blue light from the screen shone on our faces. I shrank back in fear.
As the movie progressed, my fear grew stronger.
Finally, when the eerie music played, I could not help but hug Lanxi.
She was so slim and so soft.
That was my first thought.
Lanxi hugged me back without hesitation. "Don't be afraid. It's all fake."
I listened to her comforting voice and rested my head on her shoulder.
I felt strangely at peace.
At that moment, the doorbell rang loudly.
It made a harsh sound.
