The movie is a 3D film. As soon as Chu Ge and Qin Ruoying stepped into the hall, the staff immediately handed them 3D glasses.
"It's a 3D super horror film, hehe, I bet my sister will absolutely love it, mwahaha!"
Sitting down with Chu Ge in a seat at the back, Qin Ruoying fiddled with the 3D glasses in her hand, muttering with a mischievous smirk on her face.
"Hmm? Xiaoying, what did you say?"
Since the movie hadn't started yet, the theater was noisy, and Qin Ruoying had muttered so softly that Chu Ge didn't hear clearly. However, when he noticed the mischievous grin on Qin Ruoying's face, he couldn't help but ask in confusion.
"It's nothing, hehe." Qin Ruoying shook her head cheerfully and put on the 3D glasses.
At that moment, the initially bright lights suddenly went out, and the entire hall became pitch-black as images began to flash on the big screen. The movie had started.
After a few brief movie advertisements, the screen went dark, and the theater's sound system started emitting a spine-chilling mix of crying and laughter, creating a tense and oppressive atmosphere throughout the hall.
The same sounds, when heard by Chu Ge, struck him as kind of funny, not giving him any sense of fear at all.
However, for Qin Ruoying, it was a completely different experience. The movie had just started, but she was already fully immersed in its atmosphere. Her whole body tensed up; she had heard that this film was very scary, and now it seemed its reputation was well deserved.
Feeling bored, Chu Ge was about to stretch and adjust his posture, but then his right hand was suddenly grabbed tightly. He turned his head and saw that Qin Ruoying's body was tense, her face pale as a sheet, clearly already deeply affected by the atmosphere. She was so scared even though nothing had happened yet.
"Brother-in-law, could you hold my hand? This movie seems really scary." Qin Ruoying whispered into Chu Ge's ear.
Before Chu Ge could respond, Qin Ruoying extended a delicate hand, tightly clasping Chu Ge's right hand from underneath.
Originally, Chu Ge intended to refuse, but when he noticed that Qin Ruoying's small hand was not only cold but also slightly sweaty with cold sweat, clearly genuinely frightened, he just smiled and nodded, letting it be.
The horror music in the sound system continued for over ten seconds. Just as the atmosphere in the hall reached a very tense level, a terrifying image suddenly appeared on the screen.
The hall erupted in extremely high-pitched screams, and Qin Ruoying's hand tightened on Chu Ge's hand, shifting from palm-to-palm contact to interlocking their fingers.
Throughout the movie, the hall was filled with continuous screams, and Qin Ruoying was so frightened that she closed her eyes. She occasionally hid behind Chu Ge, like a little kitten startled by something.
Seeing Qin Ruoying scared pale and on edge, Chu Ge couldn't help but think, what's so scary about this? She knows full well it's just a movie; all the frightening scenes are fake.
Well, even if she knows it's fake but can't control her fear, she could choose not to watch it. Watching it only to be scared like this, isn't she paying to suffer? What's the point?
When he overheard the hushed conversation of a couple a few seats away, his sense of speechlessness deepened.
"Sweetheart, why not here once?" the man pleaded softly.
"Let's talk about it at home, there are too many people here," the woman replied coyly.
"No one knows us anyway, the theater is so dark, everyone's focused on the movie, and our seats are so far back. Come on, just massage my feet here this once, can't I even ask you this?"
Though their voices were very soft, every word reached Chu Ge's ears clearly.
Chu Ge's mouth twitched, and he sighed inwardly. He was just here with Qin Ruoying to watch a movie, how did he end up encountering something like this?
And that couple was amusing too. What's with this guy's unusual hobby? Liking foot massages is all well and good, but come on, it's a cinema, and they're playing a horror movie.
Just hope that Qin Ruoying doesn't hear these two, and keeps her attention on the movie.
While pretending to still be watching the movie, Chu Ge inconspicuously kept his attention on the couple, hoping they wouldn't get too carried away and draw Qin Ruoying's attention.
About seven or eight minutes later, the girl next to him playfully punched her male companion, reluctantly glanced around, and then cautiously left her seat.
Chu Ge's mouth twitched again. Damn, did that woman really agree to it?
At least, even if this guy's hobby is a bit unusual, there's no offensive smell or anything.
A few minutes later, Chu Ge suddenly noticed something wasn't right.
Why had Qin Ruoying been so quiet for a while? She wasn't screaming or snuggling into him, nor was she holding his hand anymore?
Turning his head to look, Chu Ge couldn't help but feel quite awkward.
Qin Ruoying's gaze also shifted from the screen to the couple, her expression filled with utter speechlessness.
Noticing that Chu Ge was looking over at her, Qin Ruoying's face immediately became even more conflicted, and she quickly turned her head back, focusing her gaze on the screen again.
However, after witnessing such an inexplicable scene, Qin Ruoying couldn't keep her mind on the movie. Just after a dozen seconds, she sneakily glanced at the couple again, eyeing them with a strange look.
The man next to her was enjoying himself when he suddenly noticed Qin Ruoying's covert gaze. His expression froze momentarily, and upon realizing she was actually a stunning beauty, for some reason—maybe his brain short-circuited—he instinctively grinned at Qin Ruoying.
"Pervert!"
Seeing the young man smile at her, Qin Ruoying was startled, glared at the young man, cursed him inwardly, and immediately looked away.
Even though she stopped looking that way, there was still an odd feeling inside her. She sneaked a glance again and again, finding each time that the man was staring at her unblinkingly.
At this point, Qin Ruoying felt really exasperated, and an overwhelmed feeling arose in her heart. She couldn't help but wonder what that guy might be thinking in his head.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Suddenly, an idea struck her mind, and a mischievous smile appeared on her face.
Looking back at the couple, in the silent cinema where everyone was focused intently on the screen, Qin Ruoying suddenly let out an unexpected scream.
The shout was so abrupt, it startled almost everyone, causing quite a few people to shiver.
If it startled everyone else, it certainly did a number on that sneaky couple. The woman shivered, the man was stunned, and meanwhile, the audience in several rows turned their heads.
After screaming, Qin Ruoying acted as if nothing had happened, pretending it wasn't her who yelled, leading all those eyes to fall naturally on the adjacent couple who looked utterly embarrassed and flustered.
Chu Ge broke out in a cold sweat; he had been observing Qin Ruoying and the couple the entire time but hadn't said anything because the situation was just too awkward.
He really hadn't expected Qin Ruoying to be so ruthless. If that guy had a weak heart, he might have ended up with some kind of disorder!
With hundreds of gazes fixed on the couple, their thrill-seeking quest had led them into an incredibly awkward position, and they quickly bowed their heads and hurriedly slipped away.
Watching the couple's embarrassed retreat, Qin Ruoying burst into giggles, her face full of satisfaction from a plot well executed.
As for Chu Ge, he could only feel deeply speechless and sympathize with that young man deeply; getting involved with Qin Ruoying could only be considered bad luck for him.
As Chu Ge was left speechless, Qin Ruoying waited until everyone upfront had turned back around, then secretly leaned over to Chu Ge's ear.
Noticing Qin Ruoying's movement, Chu Ge was also startled, fearing that his unpredictable sister-in-law might pull another shocking stunt, he quickly dodged slightly, his face showing a wary expression.
Seeing Chu Ge so guarded, as if facing a great enemy, Qin Ruoying chuckled, "Brother-in-law, why are you dodging? Do you think I can eat you? Come here, I want to ask you something."
Despite Qin Ruoying's innocent appearance, Chu Ge didn't dare lower his guard.
"What is it?"
"Come over and I'll tell you."
Almost forcing himself, Chu Ge sat up straight, and Qin Ruoying once again leaned in close to his ear.
"Brother-in-law, do you guys really like that kind of thing? Is foot massage really comfortable?"
Chu Ge was as speechless as could be.
Qin Ruoying was his sister-in-law in name, and being asked such a question by her, this "brother-in-law" truly didn't know how to answer, nor could he grasp what Qin Ruoying really meant.
"Well... let's change the topic."
Qin Ruoying was amused, shaking Chu Ge's arm like a curious baby, "Brother-in-law, it's just the two of us here now, you can tell me, right? I can't exactly ask anyone else, can I?"
Seeing Qin Ruoying's extremely eager face, Chu Ge sighed, "But asking me isn't appropriate either, is it?"
Qin Ruoying leaned close to Chu Ge's ear again, "Why not, besides you, I really can't think of anyone more suitable. In my heart, there are only two men I trust the most: the first one is my dad, and you're the second. Do you really want me to ask my dad about this kind of thing?"
