Chapter 28: Chapter 28

they seem to be hugging each other

———-“watching a horror movie at a homestay near a grave… hahahaha! i’m laughing so hard right now!”

————”ma yunyun really is a muddle-head. did she not just say that she was scared? now she’s watching a horror movie, and one of the most insidious ones at that!”

———-“gu ran looks like she’s scared of horror flicks, look at the way she’s holding herself!”

———-“ahhhhhhh! why’s the movie king seated so close with her! i want to be her right now!”

———-“the movie king keeps them company as they watch a horror film. what kind of idol drama is this! kswl!”

in the live-stream, the netizens were merrily commenting on the live chat.

in the living room of the homestay, the movie was at its climax when mo yancheng suddenly stood up.

“gu ran, i want a drink of water,” mo yancheng said, rather out of the blue.

gu ran was stunned and didn’t react for a moment. mo yancheng continued, “do you know where the hot water is at?”

“oh, let me find it for you.” gu ran got up immediately and left the living room.

mo yancheng said, “you guys continue. i’m going to get water.”

no one took this interlude to heart and carried on watching the movie. only liao ping frowned slightly when she saw the two people leave one after another, but she quickly turned her head and returned her gaze to the television.

in the pantry.

gu ran poured a cup of warm water and handed it over to mo yancheng, who took it. the two of them had a tacit understanding.

“well, i just, i don’t like horror movies.” gu ran found a lame excuse and frowned upon saying it.

this reason sounded so lame!

mo yancheng smiled but did not call her out. instead, he nodded in agreement. “i am not really into it either.”

gu ran glanced at him and smiled. she took the cup from his hand and turned around to refill his cup.

smack!

all the lights in the house went out.

“aaaaaaaaaargh!” came ma yunyun’s piercing scream from the living room.

gu ran unconsciously put down her cup and was about to go to the living room when mo yancheng bodily stopped her. “don’t go! you can’t see anything now. you’ll get injured if you’re not careful!”

“but they—”

“i think the wire just tripped. wait a minute.”

crack! light flooded the house once again.

“sorry, the power out here isn’t stable, but it should be fine now.” the grandmother heard the commotion and came out to push open the knife switch.

light has also returned to the pantry. mo yancheng looked down at the person in his arms and suddenly raised his hand to caress her face.

“what are you doing!” gu ran glared at him warily, wanting to retreat.

however, behind gu ran was the tea stove. mo yancheng did not let go of her waist and showed her with his fingertips. “there were water stains.”

“thank you.” gu ran pursed her lips and turned her head. “let go of me.”

mo yancheng did as he was told. just as gu ran was about to leave, she looked up and saw yan hao and the others standing at the door, staring at them with wide eyes.

no way? mo yancheng… was actually hugging gu ran?

were they seeing things?

mo yancheng asked calmly, “are you all alright?”

yan hao was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses and nodded. “we’re alright. it just tripped.”

“yes, we were also shocked just now. gu ran almost fell over,” mo yancheng explained.

only then did everyone understand that mo yancheng was only supporting gu ran. it wasn’t the situation that they had made it out to be.

however, it did make sense. in a situation such as the one from just now, as a man, it was only natural for mo yancheng to take care of a lady.

“is the movie still on?”

ma yunyun shook her head. they had been in the thick of watching the movie when the lights went out and scared them half to death. who even had the heart to continue now?

“then let’s get some rest! we have a full day’s work tomorrow.”

everyone nodded and went back to their rooms.
