Chapter 983: Chapter 0983: Watching Horror Movies

There’s a bathroom upstairs and downstairs, and usually, if both girls want to shower at the same time, they just use separate ones.

Ye Qiu sat on the sofa watching those boring Korean dramas as Liu Xia, already showered and smelling fresh, came down.

"Are you going home tonight?"

"No, I’m not going home."

"Then I’ll get my pajamas for you to wear."

Ye Qiu doesn’t have clothes here, so Liu Xia just lends her pajamas to her; neither minds anyway.

After following upstairs, Liu Xia grabbed pajamas from her closet for Ye Qiu.

She also took a towel for Ye Qiu, the one she used last time.

Ye Qiu went into the bathroom with them, and after showering and changing into Liu Xia’s pajamas, she dried her hair as Liu Xia prepared to go rest in her room.

She has a meeting at 8:30 tomorrow, so she needs to get up before eight. It’s already past midnight, almost one, and she needs as much sleep as she can get.

As for the TV playing downstairs, as long as it’s not too loud, and with the door closed, she can’t hear it at all.

"Ye Qiu, I’m going to sleep now. Don’t let Xiao Hong keep you up too late either."

As Liu Xia stood in front of Ye Qiu, Ye Qiu was just a head taller than her. Of course, if Liu Xia wore heels, they’d be about the same height.

Then Ye Qiu hugged her from behind and gave her a quick kiss on the lips, leaving Liu Xia blushing as she headed back to her room.

"Hey, Ye Qiu, aren’t you done showering yet?"

Xiao Hong yelled from downstairs.

"I’m coming down now."

When Ye Qiu walked downstairs in slippers, Xiao Hong was already putting in a disc.

In this day and age, DVD players still exist, but they’re quite rare. Wealthy people have home theaters, while average families have computers to watch movies directly, instead of using DVDs.

"Where did you find this disc? And this DVD player?"

"The previous owner left them. I was cleaning and found hundreds of discs here—lots of movies from the Hong Kong of the eighties and nineties. Xiaxia and I watched for quite a while without finishing. But now I’m watching a recorded Japanese horror film ’Sadako.’

Xiao Hong pulled Ye Qiu to sit beside her.

At first, neither of them noticed, but as the living room lights were turned off, leaving only the TV’s glow amidst the eerie atmosphere...

Ye Qiu didn’t feel much about horror films, they mostly just scared regular people.

If it was real, it might even scare Ye Qiu.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Hong grew increasingly scared. Initially half a meter away, she inched closer to Ye Qiu, eventually clutching Ye Qiu’s arm in fear.

Ye Qiu wrapped his arm around Xiao Hong’s back.

Brash as she was, Xiao Hong seemed unfazed by this.

Nobody knew how long passed, but Ye Qiu saw a long-haired female lead, Sadako, climbing out of an abandoned well and then out of the TV, sending chills through Xiao Hong, who clung tightly to Ye Qiu.

But Xiao Hong felt, Ye Qiu’s body was very warm.

"It’s so scary!"

Xiao Hong said.

"Want me to turn it off?"

"No, I want to finish watching."

Xiao Hong wanted to continue watching.

Ye Qiu found the scary atmosphere mediocre at best, possibly frightening some, but not him.

Now Xiao Hong leaned against him, her fragrance and hair scent drifted to Ye Qiu’s nose, making him feel a bit warm.

He thought to create some distance, but Xiao Hong kept leaning on him.

Now, Ye Qiu almost held her like a boyfriend holding his girlfriend.

"Xiao Hong, isn’t this inappropriate?"

Ye Qiu whispered.

"Do you mind?"

Xiao Hong seemed indifferent.

Of course, Ye Qiu didn’t mind. Even though Xiao Hong wasn’t as pretty as Liu Xia, she was still attractive. A beauty in his arms, would he remain indifferent like Liu Xia Hui?

Of course not, but Ye Qiu dared not move more, fearing Liu Xia upstairs might hear and feel awkward coming down.

"Fine, I’m scared now."

Xiao Hong kept watching.

It was already past one, nearing two, and they were only halfway through the movie.

No one knew how long had passed; with Xiao Hong still watching, Ye Qiu was feeling sleepy.

At that moment, Ye Qiu’s phone rang—it was Ning Yun calling.

This kid, calling at such a late hour.

The ring startled both Ye Qiu and Xiao Hong.

"What is it?"

Ye Qiu answered.

"Brother Qiu, wanna come out and hang, it’s lively here."

"Where?"

"At Jiangnan Paradise."

Ning Yun said from the other side.

Looking at Xiao Hong nearly done watching the horror film, Ye Qiu said, "Wait, I’ll call you back."

After hanging up, Xiao Hong asked, "You’re going out? Can I come?"

"The place I’m going isn’t suitable for you."

What kind of place?

Not suitable for herself.

Soon, Xiao Hong’s mind wandered.

"Then I’ll tell Xiaxia tomorrow."

"Suit yourself."

Ye Qiu didn’t want to stay watching silly horror films with Xiao Hong as he wasn’t scared at all. As he got up, heading upstairs to change into the clothes he wore today.

He sniffed them, finding no sweat odor—acceptable.

Coming downstairs, he told Xiao Hong, "Stop watching now, go to bed early."

"What if I can’t sleep?"

"Go to Xiaxia’s room and sleep with her!"

Ye Qiu put on his sneakers and headed out. Xiao Hong closed the door and didn’t dare to watch the horror film anymore, tiptoeing to Liu Xia’s room, not even turning on the light, slipping inside.

When sleeping, they didn’t need to lock the door with only the two of them at home.

Climbing onto the bed, Xiao Hong hugged the drowsy Liu Xia.

Liu Xia remembered Ye Qiu being there, thinking it was him entering her room, feeling sweet.

But unexpectedly, the other embraced tighter, and Liu Xia noticed her hair was long, shouting in surprise, startling both.

"Who are you?"

"Xiaxia, it’s me, you scared me to death just now."

When Liu Xia turned on the lamp, she saw it really was Xiao Hong; no wonder her hair was so long. She thought someone had come in.

After all, Ye Qiu’s hair couldn’t be that long.

"Why is it you? Isn’t Ye Qiu watching horror movies with you?"

"He got a friend’s call and left. I didn’t dare watch alone, so I came here to sleep with you. I didn’t expect you to scare me."
