What was there to be afraid of?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go, let's head in.\" Jing Tian pulled Qi Hui, and they walked quickly into the multimedia classroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was called a multimedia room, the layout was actually similar to a movie theater, just much larger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hui was pulled along by her, his expression carrying a hint of oddity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The male lead was the same one from *The Conjuring*, and the director was also the same director as *The Conjuring*.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, it was a bit scary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hui had originally wanted to mention *The Conjuring*, but that movie hadn't come out yet; it would take a few years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he had mentioned *Saw* instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, looking at this movie through the lens of a traditional American horror film probably wouldn't be very good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Qi Hui was pondering, Jing Tian had already pulled him to sit in the second-to-last row by the window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This girl was rubbing her hands together, eager to try, and it was clear she really liked horror movies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I hope you won't be scared later... Qi Hui's eyes rolled, he sighed slightly, and also felt it was somewhat amusing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the projection screen, the image changed, the opening credits appeared, and blood-red letters appeared one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior, do you have any plans for your upcoming work?\" Jing Tian looked forward to the movie while asking nonchalantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hui raised an eyebrow, feeling that something was a bit off: \"I'll talk to my agent first before making a decision.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gave an ambiguous answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, this...\" Qi Hui's eyes widened; was he really being kept by a rich woman?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But on second thought, something was wrong; this girl's movies flopped one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"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.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A period piece.\" Jing Tian explained: \"A story from the Warring States period.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Warring States... Qi Hui's eye twitched, and he immediately understood what movie it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was just about to speak, but on the projection screen, images appeared, and the movie began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's watch the movie first, we'll talk after it's over.\" Qi Hui said, starting a delaying tactic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm-hmm!\" Jing Tian nodded repeatedly; the movie was only about an hour long, no rush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they spoke, the camera moved through a dark house and finally stopped on an old woman wearing a black wedding dress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pretending to be mysterious... Just as this thought rose in the audience's minds, the image changed again, and blood-red letters appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, the movie hadn't started yet; it was still the opening credits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, the screen flashed quickly through various images: children, adults, photos, a photo of a family of four.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, the image stopped beside a sleeping white woman; she woke up faintly, put on her pajamas, went downstairs, and began a busy day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the family's sweet life began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hui rubbed his nose; *The Conjuring* also had this kind of opening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The protagonist's family moves to a place where they don't know anyone, followed by the family's daily life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more relaxed it was now, the more terrifying it would be later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with the child's coma, various strange things happened in the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One stranger after another appeared and walked around the house strangely;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tightly closed front door would inexplicably be wide open in the blink of an eye;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the baby monitor in the little daughter's room, a burly and deep man's voice could also be heard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within a few days, the female lead discovered that her house was overcrowded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There even appeared a sinister, pale man who wanted the female lead to give him her little daughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The female lead broke down and immediately decided to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in James Wan's movies, where do protagonists ever solve problems by moving?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the new house was overcrowded again, and the desperate female lead could only seek help from a medium.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The medium told her that her son was astral projecting... which meant his soul had left his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coupled with his natural medium-like holy body, all the evil spirits were eyeing his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hui suggested they stop watching and go play somewhere else, but Jing Tian refused and wanted to keep watching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cowardly yet wanting to watch!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helpless, Qi Hui offered his arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Tian hurriedly hugged it and wouldn't let go; her heart, which had been in her throat, calmed down a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sense of security was back!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So fragrant... Qi Hui raised an eyebrow; the \"warm fragrance and soft jade\" had materialized at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder couples like watching horror movies; it turns out there are many hidden benefits!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ring-a-ling~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ringtone rang out abruptly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah!\" Jing Tian shuddered, screamed in fright, subconsciously hugged Qi Hui's arm tightly, her eyes filled with terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't even think about it and hung up directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only did he hang up, he even took out the battery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having this happen while watching a horror movie was quite scary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, oh, so it was a phone ringtone...\" Jing Tian breathed a sigh of relief, looking like someone who had survived a disaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, she had already forgotten about the male lead for the movie *The Warring States*.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Tian saw it but ignored it; she just gave a coquettish scold and let Qi Hui do as he pleased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was now immersed in the movie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the perfect ending, Jing Tian let out a huge sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But on the screen, the movie wasn't over yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The medium and the male lead had only a brief contact before she discovered something wrong with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a simple test, she discovered that the male lead had already been possessed by the old woman in the black wedding dress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this, the audience's hearts were once again hung high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The movie ended, and Jing Tian's little face was deathly pale; she clearly hadn't recovered yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hui took out his iPhone and took another selfie with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No... not going!\" Jing Tian said with a pale face, hugging Qi Hui's arm and resolutely refusing to let go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She only wanted to go home now and go back to hug her little quilt tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I'll take you back.\" Qi Hui smiled: \"I originally wanted to go to the haunted house with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Tian's face turned even paler, shivering, and she didn't even know how she got home the whole way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time she reacted, she found herself already wrapped in a quilt on her bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding-dong~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Downstairs, Qi Hui sent her two photos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Tian picked up her phone and looked, her pretty face instantly turning red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the photo, she was hanging on Qi Hui like a koala.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very, very tightly, the kind where Qi Hui could kiss her the moment he turned his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh my, oh my...\" Jing Tian rolled on the bed in shame: \"What was I doing at that time? Why was I so unreserved?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1540,"2026-06-21T03:10:06.472Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","f885e471c5ab3c80088ff3a0d103f8fbb5ccc9d0a0dee29d7cab60424ac04b3a","starting-from-hong-shixian-a-chinese-entertainme-chapter-65","starting-from-hong-shixian-a-chinese-entertainme-chapter-63",202,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-from-hong-shixian-a-chinese-entertainme-cover.jpg"]
