Chapter 64: Jing Tian's Invitation (Seeking Favorites and Recommendations)

"A horror movie?" Jing Tian's eyes suddenly lit up: "Great, great, let's watch this one!"

She liked watching horror movies.

It was just an American horror movie; wasn't it just blood and ketchup? What was there to be afraid of?

"Let's go, let's head in." Jing Tian pulled Qi Hui, and they walked quickly into the multimedia classroom.

Although it was called a multimedia room, the layout was actually similar to a movie theater, just much larger.

Qi Hui was pulled along by her, his expression carrying a hint of oddity.

He had seen this movie, *Insidious*, before he transmigrated; its original title should have been *Insidious*. This movie didn't rely on gore to scare people, which set it apart from typical American horror films.

The male lead was the same one from *The Conjuring*, and the director was also the same director as *The Conjuring*.

To be honest, it was a bit scary.

Qi Hui had originally wanted to mention *The Conjuring*, but that movie hadn't come out yet; it would take a few years.

So he had mentioned *Saw* instead.

However, looking at this movie through the lens of a traditional American horror film probably wouldn't be very good.

Just as Qi Hui was pondering, Jing Tian had already pulled him to sit in the second-to-last row by the window.

This girl was rubbing her hands together, eager to try, and it was clear she really liked horror movies.

I hope you won't be scared later... Qi Hui's eyes rolled, he sighed slightly, and also felt it was somewhat amusing.

On the projection screen, the image changed, the opening credits appeared, and blood-red letters appeared one after another.

"Senior, do you have any plans for your upcoming work?" Jing Tian looked forward to the movie while asking nonchalantly.

Qi Hui raised an eyebrow, feeling that something was a bit off: "I'll talk to my agent first before making a decision."

He gave an ambiguous answer.

Jing Tian's eyes shifted, and she said softly: "I'm missing a male lead for a movie here, why don't you come and help me?"

"Ah, this..." Qi Hui's eyes widened; was he really being kept by a rich woman?

But on second thought, something was wrong; this girl's movies flopped one after another.

"Ahem... what type of movie is it?" Qi Hui asked just as nonchalantly: "I haven't acted in a movie before, I might not be able to handle it."

"A period piece." Jing Tian explained: "A story from the Warring States period."

Warring States... Qi Hui's eye twitched, and he immediately understood what movie it was.

He was just about to speak, but on the projection screen, images appeared, and the movie began.

"Let's watch the movie first, we'll talk after it's over." Qi Hui said, starting a delaying tactic.

"Mm-hmm!" Jing Tian nodded repeatedly; the movie was only about an hour long, no rush.

As they spoke, the camera moved through a dark house and finally stopped on an old woman wearing a black wedding dress.

Pretending to be mysterious... Just as this thought rose in the audience's minds, the image changed again, and blood-red letters appeared.

So, the movie hadn't started yet; it was still the opening credits.

Before long, the screen flashed quickly through various images: children, adults, photos, a photo of a family of four.

Finally, the image stopped beside a sleeping white woman; she woke up faintly, put on her pajamas, went downstairs, and began a busy day.

In the scene, the house was a bit messy, with various large cardboard boxes placed around; it was clear they hadn't moved in long.

At the same time, the family's sweet life began.

Qi Hui rubbed his nose; *The Conjuring* also had this kind of opening.

The protagonist's family moves to a place where they don't know anyone, followed by the family's daily life.

The more relaxed it was now, the more terrifying it would be later.

Soon, an accident occurred; the eight-year-old eldest son fell and had been in a coma ever since. The doctor's examination found everything normal, but the child just wouldn't wake up.

And with the child's coma, various strange things happened in the house.

One stranger after another appeared and walked around the house strangely;

The tightly closed front door would inexplicably be wide open in the blink of an eye;

In the baby monitor in the little daughter's room, a burly and deep man's voice could also be heard.

Within a few days, the female lead discovered that her house was overcrowded.

There even appeared a sinister, pale man who wanted the female lead to give him her little daughter.

The female lead broke down and immediately decided to move.

But in James Wan's movies, where do protagonists ever solve problems by moving?

Soon, the new house was overcrowded again, and the desperate female lead could only seek help from a medium.

The medium told her that her son was astral projecting... which meant his soul had left his body.

Coupled with his natural medium-like holy body, all the evil spirits were eyeing his body.

Beside Qi Hui, Jing Tian no longer had the anticipation from before; her little face was pale with fright, and sometimes she even covered her eyes, not daring to look.

Qi Hui suggested they stop watching and go play somewhere else, but Jing Tian refused and wanted to keep watching.

Cowardly yet wanting to watch!

Helpless, Qi Hui offered his arm.

Jing Tian hurriedly hugged it and wouldn't let go; her heart, which had been in her throat, calmed down a little.

The sense of security was back!

So fragrant... Qi Hui raised an eyebrow; the "warm fragrance and soft jade" had materialized at this moment.

No wonder couples like watching horror movies; it turns out there are many hidden benefits!

Ring-a-ling~

The ringtone rang out abruptly.

"Ah!" Jing Tian shuddered, screamed in fright, subconsciously hugged Qi Hui's arm tightly, her eyes filled with terror.

"Ahem... don't be nervous, it's my phone." Sniffing the fragrance of the girl beside him, Qi Hui took out his phone, glanced at it, and found it was an unknown number.

He didn't even think about it and hung up directly.

Not only did he hang up, he even took out the battery.

Having this happen while watching a horror movie was quite scary.

"Oh, oh, so it was a phone ringtone..." Jing Tian breathed a sigh of relief, looking like someone who had survived a disaster.

At this moment, she had already forgotten about the male lead for the movie *The Warring States*.

Qi Hui looked at Jing Tian, who was like a startled rabbit, found it somewhat amusing, and took a selfie with her using his iPhone 4.

Jing Tian saw it but ignored it; she just gave a coquettish scold and let Qi Hui do as he pleased.

She was now immersed in the movie.

In the movie on the screen, with the help of the medium the female lead had brought in, the male lead overcame obstacles and finally brought back his son's soul.

Seeing the perfect ending, Jing Tian let out a huge sigh of relief.

But on the screen, the movie wasn't over yet.

The medium and the male lead had only a brief contact before she discovered something wrong with him.

After a simple test, she discovered that the male lead had already been possessed by the old woman in the black wedding dress.

Having her true colors discovered, the old woman in the black wedding dress killed the medium directly, and then used the male lead's body to live a happy life with the female lead and the child.

However, the female lead discovered the clues left behind by the medium and knew that the person in front of her was not her husband.

At this, the audience's hearts were once again hung high.

The movie ended, and Jing Tian's little face was deathly pale; she clearly hadn't recovered yet.

"Are we still going to Happy Valley?" Qi Hui only felt it was both annoying and funny; this girl was truly a coward who loved to play.

Qi Hui took out his iPhone and took another selfie with her.

"No... not going!" Jing Tian said with a pale face, hugging Qi Hui's arm and resolutely refusing to let go.

She only wanted to go home now and go back to hug her little quilt tightly.

"Then I'll take you back." Qi Hui smiled: "I originally wanted to go to the haunted house with you."

Jing Tian's face turned even paler, shivering, and she didn't even know how she got home the whole way.

By the time she reacted, she found herself already wrapped in a quilt on her bed.

Ding-dong~

Downstairs, Qi Hui sent her two photos.

Jing Tian picked up her phone and looked, her pretty face instantly turning red.

In the photo, she was hanging on Qi Hui like a koala.

Very, very tightly, the kind where Qi Hui could kiss her the moment he turned his head.

"Oh my, oh my..." Jing Tian rolled on the bed in shame: "What was I doing at that time? Why was I so unreserved?!"
