Reborn! Caught Up by the Critically Obsessed Actress - Chapter 107

The ambiguous atmosphere that had been gradually heating up, starting to bubble with pink bubbles of romance, was interrupted by the eerie, ghostly music and vanished in an instant.

It was like the foam produced by waves crashing against the beach, existing only for a fleeting moment.

Xie Jingcheng felt somewhat helpless.

“Do you want to watch it?”

Before she had come out from her bath, Song Qingxing had been picking out a movie. However, she was a person with typical decision-making paralysis; with so many movies available, she didn’t know which one to choose.

“Um… are you not going to continue?”

Song Qingxing’s cheeks were still flushed with a rosy hue. She was completely out of it, clearly still a bit dazed. She reached out and rubbed herself; her waist didn’t actually hurt much, but there were marks.

“It doesn’t necessarily have to be rushed in a single moment.”

Xie Jingcheng glanced at the curtains that weren’t pulled tight. At that time, night had just begun to fall, and the sky was dim.

Outside, a few households still had their lights on. Although this was a filming base, and there was only a ring of houses inhabited on the outskirts, there was at least some light from the dwellings.

No way?

Xie Jingcheng could actually restrain herself even then?!

This could be called slamming on the emergency brakes while speeding. Song Qingxing blinked, finding it almost hard to believe.

But as it turned out, Xie Jingcheng was indeed a “braking king” with God-like driving skills; she actually began to reach out and fiddle with Song Qingxing’s scattered long hair.

Her gaze was fixed intently on the television.

“Do you not like watching horror movies?”

“No.”

Song Qingxing shook her head. How old was she? She shouldn’t be afraid of horror movies anymore.

Although she was stubborn to death in her heart, she knew that if she were to watch a horror movie alone, it would definitely cause psychological issues. But if it were two people, then it would be different.

The movie continued to play. Shriveled branches were like the withered hands of a corpse, swaying slightly with the wind and emitting strange, eerie cries.

A man wearing a shriveled mask was desperately chasing a woman. Occasional flickering lights flashed throughout, making one’s heart tremble.

So this is an American-style horror film, Xie Jingcheng couldn’t help but think to herself. But in the next instant, she felt something pounce into her arms.

Her arm touched something soft and bouncy.

“Qingxing?”

Xie Jingcheng was somewhat puzzled, only to find that Song Qingxing’s face looked a bit pale. She was peering at the screen fearfully with her eyes while simultaneously shrinking her whole body into Xie Jingcheng’s embrace.

“That man is so terrifying. Do you think there might be someone like that near our house…”

Song Qingxing bit her lip halfway. Xie Jingcheng sighed somewhat helplessly, reached out to take a piece of apple, and chewed it slowly.

“It’s just a movie. If you’re afraid, I’ll change it right now. Watching a Disney animation would be good too.”

Despite saying that, Xie Jingcheng still reached out to pull the girl into her arms, her palm gently patting Song Qingxing’s back.

It was like soothing a child who had been startled.

“No need, I’m actually quite curious about the plot.”

Song Qingxing hadn’t watched many horror movies. When she was very young, she had been scouted. When she got a bit older, she entered the company directly. After being a trainee for a few months, she made her debut.

From then on, she was always rushing between the stage and the backstage, while also having to find time to respond to the expectations of her fans. Any slight bit of free time was spent practicing dance or sleeping and resting.

Where would she find the time to watch horror movies?

It was already a struggle for Song Qingxing to barely maintain the fact that she wasn’t a “nine-year compulsory education dropout.”

So now that she had time to see something novel, she was naturally both afraid and filled with the urge to watch.

Fine then…

Since a certain someone wanted to watch, Xie Jingcheng lifted her eyes to stare at the screen. She reached for the remote and turned the volume down a bit.

The plot continued to play. Xie Jingcheng was distracted; as a senior in the acting world, she was long since accustomed to the filming techniques of such horror movies.

Furthermore, she could accurately guess the upcoming plot, except for one or two poorly written twists.

However, a certain someone was watching with great interest, staring at the TV screen throughout. Yet her body trembled slightly, and she clung to Xie Jingcheng like a kitten seeking warmth.

“If you’re this scared, why do you still want to watch?”

Taking advantage of a moment when the movie screen went black, Xie Jingcheng couldn’t help but ask.

“It’s a novel experience.”

“Besides, with you accompanying me, I’m actually not that scared.”

Forget it…

Gently stroking Song Qingxing’s hair with her fingertips, Xie Jingcheng closed her eyes, feeling the heat of the other person nestled in her arms.

Even her nasal cavity was filled with that faint scent of milk body wash.

By the time the movie ended, Song Qingxing was still full of energy. She turned her face to look at Xie Jingcheng, whom she had been holding for nearly two hours.

“This is the first time I’ve finished a horror movie in its entirety.”

It truly was a novel experience. Song Qingxing only felt that in her previous life, she had been too focused on acting and making money, missing out on many unexperienced joys.

“Is that so?”

“Seeing how scared to death you were, you probably wouldn’t dare watch it alone.”

Xie Jingcheng couldn’t help but laugh.

The fruit plate on the table was already empty; the two of them had finished it without even realizing.

Xie Jingcheng stood up, intending to take the plate to wash it. To be honest, even when conditions were at their most difficult, she had never done this kind of kitchen work herself.

Because she had assistants to handle it, but now, experiencing it wasn’t bad.

Just as she stood up, the corner of her clothes was pulled.

“What are you doing?”

Actually, having just finished the horror movie, Song Qingxing was still a bit afraid in her heart. Therefore, she had to stick to Xie Jingcheng no matter what.

She always felt that the other woman possessed an aura of righteousness, the kind that was invulnerable to ghosts and gods. Although she didn’t know why she felt that way, as long as she stayed by Xie Jingcheng’s side, there was an indescribable sense of security.

“Going to wash the plate.”

“It’s getting late now; you go back to bed first.”

Although there were indeed some ambiguous thoughts at the beginning, after going through a horror movie, that feeling had faded somewhat.

Better to wait until tomorrow; anyway, her anger had already vanished into thin air.

This time Li Hai could be glossed over by adding scenes, but next time, she wouldn’t be so soft-hearted.

Anything beyond the script and outside of her expectations absolutely could not be condoned.

“Um, do you not want to continue anymore?”

It couldn’t be that watching a horror movie scared all the romantic interest away, could it? If so, I’d truly be deserving of a thousand deaths.

Song Qingxing thought quietly to herself.

“Forget it, your head is probably full of ghosts floating around right now.”

Xie Jingcheng tapped Song Qingxing on the forehead and headed to the kitchen. Although the kitchen was rarely touched, it was very clean.

Xie Jingcheng turned on the faucet, rinsed the plate, wiped it dry with a clean cloth, and set it aside. She then pulled out a tissue and wiped her hands dry as well.

Just as she was about to leave the kitchen, her waist was hugged from behind.

“Let’s go together.”

Song Qingxing’s ears were red, and she felt a bit embarrassed. To tell the truth, having just finished the horror movie, she always felt like that man with the axe was following behind her.

It was still more secure holding onto Xie Jingcheng; once she held her, she didn’t want to let go.
