The gentle light filled the living room with a layer of warmth in the dark night, and Xu Shiyue's voice seemed to be tinged with tenderness as well.
But the title of the film she said was not gentle at all, and it even sounded scary.
Lu Shizhen was stunned for a moment.
With her understanding of painting composition, the contrasting colors of this poster are destined to make the content of this movie not mild.
As someone who had an apple nightmare after reading a few chapters of the infinite flow last time, Lu Shizhen refused: "Ah..."
But before she could say no, Xu Shiyue seemed to sense her hesitation and asked, "Didn't you say you like infinite streaming? Don't you like this type of movie?"
Lu Shizhen was stumped by Xu Shiyue's question, and his memory cooperated to provide the scene of him bragging to Xu Shiyue in the hotel.
She originally just wanted to divert Xu Shiyue's interest in the book-traveling system novel, but who knew that she would jump into another pit after getting out of one pit.
The pit he jumped into was a terrifying kiss that Lu Shizhen didn't even dare to touch.
Lu Shizhen finally understood what it meant to tell a lie and then have to make up for it with countless lies. She had no choice but to cover her vest and pretend to be very interested: "I like it, of course I don't like it. I'm just surprised that you chose this kind of movie. I didn't expect you would want to watch a movie like this."
Xu Shiyue nodded slightly, and then asked: "Have you seen it before?"
"I have seen it." Lu Shizhen nodded affirmatively, and secretly added in his heart: But it's just a little explanation.
She knew about this movie because a certain scene in this movie was very famous in their circle, and many bigwigs had drawn many similar paintings based on this composition.
It’s just that Lu Shizhen has never painted it.
She didn't like this pile of blood and death, she liked flowers and life.
I like the positive attitude even when I am stuck in the same place.
Thinking of this, Lu Shizhen's eyes lit up.
She seemed to have thought of something, and acted like she knew a lot, and started to recommend it to Xu Shiyue: "In fact, there are quite a few classic movies in the infinite flow movie, such as "The Butterfly Effect" and "The Night the Comet Came", which are all quite good."
Very gentle too.
Lu Shizhen added secretly in his heart, looking at Xu Shiyue with expectation.
Xu Shiyue also seemed to have heard what Lu Shizhen said and nodded in agreement.
Then, she pressed the play button of "The Cruise" under Lu Shizhen's expectant gaze.
"Next time, we'll watch the two movies you recommended."
"… "
Lu Shizhen was in mixed feelings. For a moment, she didn't know whether Xu Shiyue's words were just a polite remark or a serious agreement.
Fortunately, the movie did not give her the opportunity to make the situation worse, as bright sunlight was projected over from the TV screen.
I have to say that the TV screen in the original owner's house is really excellent, both the sound and the picture are very three-dimensional.
A child's paintbrush, a boat overturned in the water, and seabirds fluttering across the sky.
Everything seemed relatively mild and still within Lu Shizhen's acceptable range.
The montage editing technique turns the heroine's floral dress into a red jacket, and simply presents the relationship between the characters as soon as they go out to sea.
But the good times didn't last long. The storm arrived as expected. Lu Shizhen couldn't help but become nervous, and he slowly moved from the sitting position on the sofa.
There were quarrels, blood, and scuffles.
The people who were originally well-dressed suddenly became chaotic and irritable after boarding the cruise ship whose name was written into the movie.
This was the first time Lu Shizhen had watched such a horror film, and she felt a little tense.
The shadow of half the head cast on the ground was like a sundial. As time went by, it moved to the right little by little, and slowly merged with another shadow next to it.
At this moment, a man wearing a scary black mask suddenly rushed out with a gun.
Lu Shizhen was watching intently and was startled. His whole body tensed up and trembled.
“Everything everyone says is true.”
Just when Lu Shizhen was feeling nervous about the sudden appearance of this mysterious man, Xu Shiyue's voice came over.
The voice was cold and calm, and it immediately pulled her out of the fear she had just been in.
Lu Shizhen paused for a moment, then realized that Xu Shiyue was communicating with him about the chaotic situation just now.
In order to prevent himself from being exposed, Lu Shizhen, who had no time to sort out the plot, nodded in agreement with Xu Shiyue's words: "Yes, yes."
"This should be the other female lead." Xu Shiyue looked at the man holding the gun, and then said to Lu Shizhen.
There was another fight scene on the screen, and then a ship that capsized after the heroine went out to sea and people with the same configuration appeared on the screen.
Lu Shizhen's pupils slightly dilated, and before she could break out in a cold sweat, she heard Xu Shiyue's voice in her ears: "So there are at least three female protagonists on the ship."
Obviously, neither of them had seen the original film in advance, but for some reason Lu Shizhen believed Xu Shiyue's words.
The indescribable sense of security made her think and she secretly counted in her mind. Although it was a bit confusing, it actually matched the "three" mentioned by Xu Shiyue.
Lu Shizhen raised his eyebrows slightly. In addition to being amazed at the plot's imagination, he was also surprised by Xu Shiyue's awe: "How did you figure that out?"
As if to maintain a sense of mystery, Xu Shiyue looked at the key that the heroine had dropped, and said to Lu Shizhen: "Every weird thing that follows should be related to the heroine. There is no scary substance. The logic is self-consistent with the heroine we are following from our perspective."
Xu Shiyue's words were a bit of a suspense, and a bit of a spoiler, but more of it was like a warning to Lu Shizhen who could easily get immersed in it.
Lu Shizhen herself didn't realize that after Xu Shiyue said this, her curiosity about the plot slowly overwhelmed her nervousness, and her tense nerves and body slowly relaxed.
The thin sleeves just hung on the exhausted shoulders, and the fabric of the clothes beside the body seemed to rub against each other.
Lu Shizhen's slow movements from just now to now formed a picture under the light, and he unconsciously got closer and closer to Xu Shiyue...
"Oh my god."
A stifled cry came out as the girl trembled, and she turned around as if subconsciously and hid in the arms of the person next to her.
Lu Shizhen followed the heroine with a focused gaze as she walked around to the deck, where she saw another person's body piled up like garbage into a small hill.
This shock was different from the mystery hidden on the ship. Lu Shizhen was not prepared at all, and death was suddenly pushed into its eyes.
Because it was a real three-dimensional person, not a two-dimensional picture, this picture was a thousand times more shocking than the pictures shared by the wives of painters that she had seen.
Lu Shizhen doesn't like death because it reminds her of what she experienced in the hospital.
There were many lives piled up around her, but those lives were not single and repeated people, but her friends.
Sometimes too much luck can be a curse.
Lu Shizhen avoided this scene. Amidst the sound of her heavy heartbeat, she felt something soft covering her body.
The slightly cool palm covered her shoulders, holding her slightly curled shoulders, and stroked them regularly and gently, again and again, as if to comfort her.
The cruise ship was sailing on the sea, and the splashes of water caused by the waves could be heard from the other side of the screen.
Lu Shizhen heard the sounds of seabirds and people talking, but her eyes were no longer looking at the TV screen. Instead, they slowly moved upwards.
The light from the living room drew a golden circle in her sight, and in this circle, Xu Shiyue was looking calmly at the screen.
Lu Shizhen then realized that she had actually moved and leaned into Xu Shiyue's arms.
Perhaps sensing the gaze from below, Xu Shiyue lowered her head calmly: "What's wrong?"
The man's voice was as calm as ever, and his tone was light as if he was asking a very small question.
But it was obvious that she was leaning very intimately with the girl next to her, and her raised hand was still comforting her.
Lu Shizhen just looked at Xu Shiyue's hands hanging naturally on her shoulders, and felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.
She felt her heart beating.
It was beating very vigorously, hitting her heart with a thump, making her a little off balance.
Lu Shizhen replied slowly, "I was startled."
"It's indeed quite scary." Xu Shiyue nodded in agreement, but there was no emotion in her voice.
The night slowly settles down, and the hour hand slowly moves to indicate the time that is about to change.
As Xu Shiyue said this, she put her hand aside and pulled the blanket on her body again, giving more to Lu Shizhen.
The blanket that had been covering Xu Shiyue's legs was now evenly distributed to Lu Shizhen, and it was soft and still had human body temperature.
I don’t know if it’s the feeling of leaning in Xu Shiyue’s arms, or if the coral fleece blanket is too soft, but Lu Shizhen feels inexplicably comfortable.
Or dependence.
“Dang dang dang.”
The movie continued, and the hour hand on the antique clock finally moved to the Roman numeral twelve.
The snow is melting outside the window, and the new year is coming surrounded by warmth.
Amid the blood and death splattering on the TV, Xu Shiyue looked at Lu Shizhen: "Happy New Year, Lu Shizhen."
This was Lu Shizhen's first New Year since coming to this world, and it was also the first time Xu Shiyue had sent him a blessing since they had known each other for so long.
Lu Shizhen never expected that given Xu Shiyue's personality, she would take the initiative to say such words to her, and she suddenly felt enlightened.
Because of the incident just now, Lu Shizhen and Xu Shiyue are very close to each other at the moment.
She just stared into Xu Shiyue's eyes, and could see the tenderness in her calm gaze, and could also see herself looking blank in her dark yet bright eyes.
The soft blanket was filled with the scent of Xu Shiyue, and it wrapped around Landing Shizhen.
They were so close to each other that under her gentle gaze, Lu Shizhen could still see Xu Shiyue's lips, which were still covered with crystal water droplets from having just drunk water.
Fireworks exploded outside the window, covering the floor-to-ceiling windows on one side. Suddenly, a ridiculous idea popped into Lu Shizhen's mind.
In fact, in such a situation, they should kiss.
