After nightfall, even the corridor exuded a kind of chill. Lin Muyan leaned against the door frame, looking lazy but with a hint of subtle helplessness. She calmly stared at the man who was caught off guard, and his first reaction upon being discovered was to run. It wasn't until he realized his own overreaction that he awkwardly stole a glance at her.
Xiao Chen opened his mouth as if to explain, but hesitated and didn't know what to say, stiffening and not daring to look at her.
Lin Muyan lightly rubbed her arm with her fingers, and the collar, which was slightly askew due to her posture, revealed a hint of white skin. She slowly adjusted it, not letting anyone else see.
The man in front of her was clearly much taller than her, but at this moment, he seemed like a child who had done something wrong and didn't know what to do.
With just one glance, Lin Muyan tugged at her lip. Xiao Chen was still organizing his words when Lin Muyan suddenly asked him, "Do you want to come in?"
I can't tell the emotion. He glanced at Lin Muyan, and she just looked at him calmly. He didn't know if she had calmed down. He hesitated and didn't dare to move, but Lin Muyan seemed a little unable to hold on. There was a hint of subtle helplessness and compromise in her tone.
"Tonight's getting colder. Are you sure you want me to keep waiting like this? I'm only wearing a nightgown."
Xiao Chen just noticed that Lin Muyan seemed to be feeling a bit cold, her legs pressed tightly together, a slight frown on her forehead, and small goosebumps visible on her arms.
"No, I'll go in," he shook his head, his ears obediently drooping, like a pleasing big puppy.
A pair of black eyes looked over, full of Lin Muyan alone. Only she was there. Lin Muyan didn't wait for him to reply before entering the house coldly. After a few steps, not hearing footsteps behind her, she turned around and saw Xiao Chen with his back to her, pulling at something.
He seemed to be afraid of making too much noise and upsetting her, deliberately slowing down his movements. But the thing in his hand was too heavy, making it a bit difficult to drag. "Let me do it, you go inside first," came the sigh from behind. Xiao Chen was taken aback, and before he knew it, Lin Muyan had already bypassed him, glanced at the small piece of carpet that had been rolled up, pursed her lips, grabbed the handle of the cart, and with smooth and swift movements, with a bang, freed the small cart from the constraints of the carpet.
The small cart landed steadily on the doormat at the door. Xiao Chen took it and didn't bother Lin Muyan to do it. Lin Muyan sighed in her heart again. Leo, who had become so famous that even the hottest celebrities were overshadowed, who could have guessed that he was actually such a childish man behind the scenes?
I guess he felt embarrassed just now, Xiao Chen walked into the house without saying a word, pushing the cart unsteadily, as if it was about to fall over at any moment.
Lin Muyan couldn't help it and kicked his calf.
This person finally restrained himself a bit.
The red wine has been opened and poured into a glass. The orange-red liquid with a hint of yellow sways in the transparent tall glass, creating a dark ring of water stains. Lin Muyan squats down and takes out an orange-scented aromatherapy lamp from the cart, then turns to Xiao Chen and says, "The wine is on the table, pour it yourself."
Xiao Chen walked to the bar with ease, and saw her searching for a lighter on the cart. She took out a "car key" from her pocket, pressed the remote control button, and a bright flame shot out from the car key, swaying and reflecting the light.
Lin Muyan swallowed the words at the corner of her mouth, lit the aromatherapy lamp, put it back on the bedside table, and a faint fruity fragrance immediately filled the room.
The room was filled with a sweet smell, not too strong or too weak, just like two people in love.
Invited someone in, gave them alcohol, and now Lin Muyan is feeling a bit down on herself for being too soft-hearted. But since the deed is done, she can't just renege and kick the person out. She hesitated for a moment, then reached for the remote control for the digital TV.
Just in time, there's a movie she's been wanting to watch. After searching the name on digital TV, she glanced at the 30-second ad that popped up and pursed her lips. Xiao Chen poured two glasses of red wine, then brought the silk pajamas top that he had brought to Lin Muyan's side.
He was afraid that she would reject him again, so he just stood there without saying anything. Lin Muyan turned her head and from her angle, she could see the two furry North Linton on the chest pocket of the silk pajamas. Her eyes drooped, it was so obvious, why didn't she guess it?
Taking the pajamas and draping them over her shoulders, Lin Muyan curled up on the soft sofa, seeing Xiao Chen still standing there, she patted the spot next to her. "You brought me three loads of stuff, I'll accompany you for a glass of red wine and a movie." She was clearly setting boundaries, but Xiao Chen didn't sit down, his dark eyes growing even more intense.
He's not here just to have a drink and watch a movie.
"Not interested? Well, forget it then. You can leave. I'll calculate the price for your things separately. Is WeChat transfer okay?"
The countdown for the movie advertisement has already started, and Lin Muyan nestled into the sofa again. Without waiting for Xiao Chen to speak, she simply lost her patience.
She has been looking forward to this movie for over a year, and this time she can't miss it no matter what.
Realizing that she doesn't care about herself at all, Xiao Chen couldn't even figure out what expression to have. After staring at her stiffly for a while and seeing that all her attention was on the TV screen, he could only sigh and sit down.
What else could he do? If he just leaves like this, he will regret it!
"Mmm, good boy," Lin Muyan casually patted his shoulder and then shifted her attention back to the movie. The movie started with a woman driving alone at night, and just as a loud thunder struck outside the window, the atmosphere became tense. The woman was listening to music and seemed to be in a good mood as she talked to her boyfriend about their wedding ceremony tomorrow. Suddenly, a white figure flashed in front of the car, followed by the intense sound of a collision.
The woman was extremely frightened. She cautiously got out of the car to take a look, but there was nothing outside. Puzzled, she turned around and saw someone in her car. Suddenly, the car was stepped on the throttle, and with a roar, the engine started and the car came rushing towards her.
The screen suddenly froze on a blurry face covered in blood and flesh.
Lin Muyan stared at the screen with relish, holding a glass in his left hand and taking a sip. "Classic opening. Hmm, why is this wine sour?"
She rubbed her lower lip with her lip ring and placed the red wine aside, looking unsatisfied. At first, when she started to drink the wine she brought herself, Xiao Chen had prepared a flawless excuse, but when he heard her words, his tense shoulders relaxed. He sat there dejectedly, with his head slightly lowered.
The TV screen has changed, and the bloody and blurry woman has disappeared, replaced by a peaceful and tranquil village, resembling a scene from "Tranquility of the Years." Lin Muyan, feeling interested, suddenly noticed the man's reaction beside her, thinking that he was hurt by her previous words. Feeling guilty, she picked up her glass and took a sip, intentionally speaking a little louder. "It's not that sour," she added insincerely.
But Xiao Chen still didn't look up, even Lin Muyan couldn't bear to see it. "Hey, come on," she nudged Xiao Chen's arm with her elbow, not hard, but enough to get his attention. The man moved slightly, still not looking up.
"Xiao Chen, if you don't want to accompany me, you can go back first," Lin Muyan said somewhat displeased, interrupting the excitement of watching a movie.
Xiao Chen remained silent for a while, then raised his eyes, his lips moved slightly, emitting a barely noticeable "no."
He looked fine, but didn't want to go back. Lin Muyan shook her head and resumed the paused screen. She didn't know how much Xiao Chen was suffering as he watched the screen filled with blood and gore of monsters eating people. movie was halfway through, and the bloody and terrifying scenes began to play on the screen at any time.
Lin Muyan is a bit of a scaredy-cat when it comes to horror movies. She watches while taking notes on her phone, planning to write a review on douban after finishing the movie. When Liu Er Bao and the others are around, she squeezes in with them to watch, and they chat and discuss the plot, making it lively. In contrast, the people around her are very quiet. Since the movie started, she hasn't heard a peep from Xiao Chen.
Regardless of the satisfaction of being immersed in the plot or the exclamation after being scared, this person remained silent and did not speak a word. But Lin Muyan clearly remembered that Xiao Chen wasn't this quiet when they watched a romantic movie before. Lin Muyan's puzzlement was forgotten in the rapid progress of the movie's plot.
The plot progresses rapidly, with the female lead's reversal of killing and counter-killing being extremely exciting. Even Lin Muyan forgot about the records on her phone, staring at the screen without blinking. Half an hour later, the movie finally ended in a dead silence, with the ethereal end credits playing, as if reviewing the dark and helpless story of the entire film.
Lin Muyan let out a deep sigh, feeling unsatisfied, and planned to share her views with Xiao Chen. However, she found that Xiao Chen was still staring blankly at the TV screen, looking completely dazed. "Hey!" She suddenly reached out and waved in front of his eyes. Xiao Chen jumped up like a startled rabbit, his feet knocking on the carpet, his pitch-black eyes filled with fear.
Lin Muyan He was stunned by his reaction for a moment, then pointed at him in surprise, "You're not afraid, are you?"
A big man like him, afraid of horror movies?
Xiao Chen Unconsciously, his hands formed a protective gesture near his lips, and after a while, he slowly calmed down, shaking his head repeatedly in a way that seemed to cover up something.
"I, I shouldn't be afraid, right? It's just a fake movie, nothing to be afraid of. Hehe, just a horror movie, I've seen plenty, what's there to be afraid of."
He stammered in defense, "Don't most girls like to watch romantic movies? Why do you like to watch these bloody and scary ones, it affects your sleep at night."
Someone once said, double negation is affirmation.
Lin Muyan glanced at Xiao Chen for a few seconds, then smiled, "Horror movies can help relieve stress, and besides, this movie isn't really that scary, it's just okay, barely passing." She turned her eyes and smiled even more, "I misspoke, I shouldn't have said you were scared. You're a grown man, how could you possibly be afraid of just a horror movie."
Xiao Chen nodded, and she changed the subject, "It's good that you're not scared. I heard from Er Bao before that there's a really interesting escape room with a heavy horror theme, Chinese-style horror. I think you might like it."
"single-line taskI heard that there's a task of covering the bride's head for the ghost marriage, I think this task can be completely handed over to you."
Lin Muyan saw the obvious stiffness of Xiao Chen, suppressing the smile that kept overflowing from the corners of his lips.
"It's very dangerous to run up and down such narrow places, you'd better not go. Haven't you seen what's been said online? Many people have been injured, it's not safe."
Xiao Chen stammered as he tried to persuade Lin Muyan, but when it came to her proposed single-line task, he shook his head without even thinking about it.
Let himself stumble in the dark to meet a ghost?
No way.
Xiao Chen is still thinking about how to make Lin Muyan change her mind. When he turned around, he saw her unable to contain her joy, silently laughing while holding her stomach. It suddenly dawned on him that she never intended to take him along, she was just teasing him. As he relaxed, his face grew warm. He wanted to argue that he wasn't really afraid, he was just worried about her safety.
But his reaction had already given everything away.
Embarrassing, but not too embarrassing.
He could only turn his gaze away, refusing to look at her.
Lin Muyan was laughing, Xiao Chen suddenly turned around with a hint of joy and asked, "Did you just say you want to go out with me?" He finally caught on to the hidden meaning in her words. Lin Muyan stopped smiling and said, "I was just kidding."
"Do you want to go out with me, does that mean... you are willing to forgive me?"
Xiao Chen asked cautiously, wanting to touch Lin Muyan but keeping a certain distance restrained.
He knew it was not the time to be too close now.
Lin Muyan didn't want to answer him, and the topic turned back to him. "Are you afraid of horror movies, or just afraid of ghosts?" She was really curious. The expression of extreme fear he had just now didn't seem like he was faking it.
Especially the later stumbles, he didn't even notice when I was teasing him.
Come to think of it, when movie first aired, he kept his head down not because of what she said, but because he was afraid of the movie camera?
That makes sense.
"I... I'm not afraid, really, I'm not scared..."
Xiao Chen still wanted to resist, but he succumbed under Lin Muyan's scrutinizing gaze.
After a while, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and awkwardly scratched his ear.
"Okay, I am indeed a little scared."
He quickly glanced at the TV screen, but unfortunately the last still frame happened to be a high-energy scene from the movie, which made him shiver again.
"Can you turn off the TV first, Mumu? I'm shaking a bit now."
He used a negotiate tone, but dared not look at the TV again.
Lin Muyan understood at a glance what was going on, so she kindly turned off the TV and waited for him to finish speaking.
Xiao Chen had never told anyone that he was afraid of ghosts.
after allGiven his status, especially in his current position, if this matter were to be leaked, it would definitely be a handle that could make his life difficult.
He thought for a moment, looking at Lin Muyan, completely trusting.
When he was five years old, there was a factory near his home.
I heard that the factory manager couldn't repay the loan, so he ran away with the money, leaving his family behind. The workers protested for a long time, but in the end, it all came to nothing and the factory closed down for good. At that time, the children were at the age of playful mischief, and they discovered the closed factory, using it as their base.
