Although he said that, Xi Wan did not feel that he was sleepy at all. Hence, she leaned over as if she was smelling the fragrance of flowers and at the same time invited Su Xun, “If you’re not sleepy, why don’t you watch a movie with me? But I need to take a shower first.”

Su Xun looked at Xi Wan with a dark and unclear expression in his eyes. After a long time, when Xi Wan thought Su Xun would reject her, he said softly,

“Okay.”

It was as if he was afraid of disturbing the flowers in the greenhouse.

Xi Wan returned to the bedroom and soaked herself in the bathtub. She said to the system, “I’m not sleeping at eleven o’clock in the middle of the night and I even invited the overtime devil to watch a movie. Isn’t that a little too much?”

The system replied: [I’ve already been censored now, isn’t it a little too much for you to ask me this question?]

Xi Wan did not say anything else and continued bathing.

In fact, she had never thought of inviting Su Xun at first. She just wanted to know how he would treat this invitation.

After taking a bath, Xi Wan specially changed into a sky-blue sleeveless nightgown which made her skin appear even fairer. She even applied some body lotion on herself to make herself smell better.

[What are you doing? Are you trying to seduce the antagonist?]

“Isn’t life in this world just for the sake of eating and lust, then what am I still struggling for?”

Therefore, she decided not to be conflicted.

Xi Wan went downstairs and saw Su Xun standing in the kitchen with a light brown drink by his hand.

She leaned over curiously and asked, “What’s this?”

“Hangover tea,” Su Xun replied lightly.

Xi Wan reached out to take it but Su Xun stopped her and said bluntly, “You won’t be able to sleep at night after drinking it.”

Xi Wan wanted to ask him why did he make such a drink if that was the case? Su Xun saw her doubt and explained, “It’s just for fun.”

Xi Wan did not ask further. Instead, she walked to the popcorn machine at the side and made some caramel-flavored popcorn. She then took out two cups of lemon-flavored drinks from the fridge.

As she walked towards the sofa, she asked Su Xun, “What movie do you want to watch?”

“Anything is fine.”

Xi Wan took out a few discs from the drawer under the television. She took one of them and asked, “Even horror movies?”

Su Xun placed his fingers on the coffee table and tapped his index finger lightly. Although his expression was a little reserved, he did not refuse. “Sure.”

Xi Wan could not help but want to laugh.

It was quite interesting to tease Su Xun occasionally.

The system really despised Su Xun for failing to meet its expectations. [Where’s his dignity as the antagonist?!]

Xi Wan looked at Su Xun and said, “I’m actually a little afraid of horror movies, so I haven’t watched it before. I’m a little curious.”

Su Xun was expressionless and his tone was flat. “Let’s watch it then.”

There was only one thought in Xi Wan’s mind, and that was that Su Xun was very obedient.

He clearly did not like horror movies but he did not refute.

Xi Wan sat quietly on the sofa. It did not matter even if she did not speak to him. She could already feel him sitting beside her just by sitting down.

In the end, Xi Wan did not choose a horror movie. Instead, she chose a romance movie that was released earlier.

The system boldly turned on the microphone: [You’re still afraid of horror movies? If a ghost saw you, they would have to take a detour!]

Xi Wan: “Why, are you jealous?”

The system was speechless. [No.]

Xi Wan smiled and gave the bucket of popcorn in her hand to Su Xun, saying,

“You have to eat popcorn to feel like you’re watching a movie.”

Although Su Xun did not say anything, he still took it. Xi Wan could clearly see

Su Xun taking a piece of popcorn, put it into his mouth, and finally moved his Adam’s apple as he swallowed the popcorn, through the bright light of the television.

Xi Wan’s eyes were fixed on him. Su Xun sensed her gaze and turned his head to ask, “What’s wrong?”

“Is it delicious?” Xi Wan casually asked.

Su Xun frowned slightly when he heard her words. “It’s a little sweet.”

“I think it’s a little sweet too.” Xi Wan picked up the lemon-flavored drink. “Have a sip.

Su Xun obediently took the bottle of drink and drank it. It tasted sour in his mouth. His frown deepened but it was much better than the previous sweetness.

Xi Wan also drank with him because she felt that it would be bad if she laughed.

If Aunt Wang was here, she would probably think that Su Xun had been kidnapped.

After all, he had always been very self-disciplined. He would never eat snacks or drink after dinner.

This romance movie was about the love between the male and female protagonists from their school uniforms to their wedding dresses. Although the plot was cliché, the scenes were beautiful. The actor and actress were also very good-looking, which made up for their shortcomings..
