Chapter 362 - I Am Scared, Baby Ruo

Chapter 362: I Am Scared, Baby Ruo

Xu Xu was thoroughly enjoying the moment as he hugged her close to his chest.
Just as the story was beginning to unfold on the screen…
“Is this a horror movie? It’s so scary!”
The man quipped happily, “I think so.”
“Xu Xu, it’s too horrifying! You have to protect me!”
“It is just a film. Don’t be scared.”
“B-But it’s really scary!”
“Don’t be afraid, I’m here.” He hugged her closer to him as he tried to comfort her with his protective presence.
The two buddies sitting at the back could not help twisting their lips. What? Is this considered scary? There is no sight of the poltergeist yet!
In the meantime, the other lady was munching on french fries as she holed up snuggly in her man’s arms. Her eyes dared not blink as she stared at the screen for fear of missing any action. Likewise, except for some eerie effects, she could not find anything scary about the film.
Woosh!
Suddenly, a long-haired female apparition appeared out of nowhere with blood dripping down her eyes, sending the young girl screaming her head off. Her loud scream was enough to bring the roof down.
This sudden appearance startled Ye Erruo as well. Even though she was not as timid as Fang Yahan, she was nevertheless terrified as she covered her eyes with her husband’s hand. This was her first time watching a horror movie.
Holing up inside his embrace made her feel safe and secure. It seemed as if she had nothing to be afraid of as long as she was with him. His presence was good enough for her.
Zheng Yi and Wang Yiyang sat behind the two couples, looking bored inside the pitch-dark room. They had watched this film a few years ago so it hardly excited them now.
On the other hand, the female host was watching with her hands over her eyes. Every time she saw something scary, she would quickly cover them.
The young girlfriend, on the other hand, was screaming throughout the whole movie…
Her screams were bad enough to give Mo Jiangye a bad headache.
He rested his head on his woman’s shoulder and blew his breath across her neck.
“What are you trying to do?” She was so startled that she threw a punch at his head.
Catching hold of her petite hand, he lay close to her head and said, “We don’t have to watch it if you’re scared. Let’s go to bed, shall we?”
“But this is only the beginning.”
“But I’m scared, Baby Ruo…” He whimpered forlornly into her ear.
Anyway, the highlight of the day was Xu Xu and his girlfriend. There was no need for them to be tortured by her yelling.
The woman turned her head and asked him, “Are you scared of the film?”
“Yes, very.”
The corner of her mouth twitched. The deadpan expression on his face hardly betrayed fear.
“Ahhhhh! Xu Xu… Xu Xu…”
“I’m here, Yahan. Don’t be afraid, this is just a film.”
By then, visibly green veins could be seen popping up on his boss’s temples while his forehead was deeply creased.
“Let’s go to bed. I’m scared and sleepy.” He let out a loud yawn after saying that.
The woman put away the fries, hugged his neck, and obliged. “Fine, fine. Let’s go.”
He walked out of the room, carrying her feather-light body in his arms. Fang Yahan had been hollering her way through since the movie had started ten minutes ago. She wasn’t screaming in fear, she was just senselessly yelling. The noise was like needles pricking one’s head.
The two boys saw their Chief leaving and followed suit quietly, leaving the young couple to their own devices inside the room. In fact, the two of them were so engrossed in each other that they did not realize the others had left.
“Yahan, why don’t we stop the film?” The chap reckoned that she might have been scared out of her wits and decided to call it a day.
The girl could do nothing but agree.
…
As they stepped out of the room, they could still hear the screaming going on inside…
The bedroom was pitch-dark when the door swung open. The woman instinctively clung to the man in fear.
“He he…” He laughed to himself.
He’d wanted to switch on the light but he quickly decided against it. He didn’t know she was afraid of the paranormal. This meant that he could probably suggest that they continue watching the film on his cell phone in bed later…
