The first thing Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi did after returning home was to clamor for a shower.
"I'm all sweaty, I'll wash first!"
Xia Yuan poked his head out of the bathroom again and said, "Youxi, it's rare for us to spend the night together, shall we take a shower together?"
"Ah? Uh..."
Lin Youxi pulled her hair in embarrassment, "Afang's bathroom is a bit small, isn't it too crowded..."
"What's the matter? Come on!"
In the end, Lin Youxi was dragged to the bathroom by Xia Yuan.
Lin Youxi quickly ran to the bedroom to get clothes, then passed Mei Fang in the corridor and gave him a fist gesture.
"If you dare to peek, you know what will happen, right?"
“What’s so good about it?”
Mei Fang looked disdainful.
I am a gentleman.
While the two of them went to the bathroom to take a shower together, Mei Fang took out the CDs and tried them out.
It looks like it can be broadcast, the only drawback is that both Evil Dead 2 and Snakes 2 are discs with Chinese dubbing.
Many Chinese dubbings of this era are pirated and privately recorded, probably because of technical issues. As soon as the character starts talking, the background sound and special effects sound of the entire scene will be lowered. All in all, it's not very accustomed to it, and the original soundtrack is still more enjoyable.
But as long as the key Lonely Ridge is the original soundtrack, that's enough to maximize the experience.
After Mei Fang finished adjusting the DVD, she took out the snacks that Xia Yuan had looted from home, took out the watermelon that had been soaked in water at home, cut it up and arranged it on a plate, brought over the Coke, and put all the ice cubes in the refrigerator into the fridge.
There is no air conditioning in Mei Fang's living room, but fortunately it is past four o'clock and not very hot, and the whirring of the big fan is quite comfortable.
The sounds of snack vendors could be heard outside, and the sounds of girls playing could always be heard from the bathroom.
Girls take a lot of ink when taking a bath.
Mei Fang was yawning and eating watermelon, leaning on the sofa and preparing to rest for a while, when the girls came out of the bathroom one after another.
"Ah, Ah Fang, you stink, don't make the sofa dirty! Get up quickly, get up!"
Xia Yuan's hair was wet and curly after taking a shower, and the scent of shampoo could be smelled from a distance.
Mei Fang was urged to get up by Xia Yuan and was also forced to take a shower.
It only took him 5 minutes to finish the shower. At this time, Xia Yuan had just finished blowing her hair and was blowing Lin Youxi's hair. She sat behind Lin Youxi, carefully caressing and combing Lin Youxi's hair, her eyes full of motherly tender love.
"You finished washing so soon?"
“That’s what summer is like.”
"Well... whatever you want."
Xia Yuan helped Lin Youxi blow dry her hair, and then called Mei Fang over, "I'll blow dry your hair."
Mei Fang patted his freshly cut hair and said, "I only have a few hairs on my head. They will be dry in a while."
"Wet hair will give you a headache, so be obedient!"
Mei Fang was forced to work in the place where Lin Youxi had been sitting. Xia Yuan used a hair dryer at a low setting to gently blow his hair. Mei Fang was moved:
"It's just like playing house when we were kids..."
"uh-huh… "
At this time, Lin Youxi began to tinker with Mei Fang's DVD player. She carefully wiped the disc of "Snakes 2" and put it in.
"It'll be dark soon if we keep going on like this, can we start now?"
"Wait a minute!"
Xia Yuan pressed Mei Fang's head and ordered Lin Youxi to draw the curtains.
"Turn off the lights and start watching, that's the right atmosphere!"
"… "
Lin Youxi hesitated for a moment, then did as he was told.
"Snakes 2" is not a horror film but a disaster thriller. This type of Hollywood film basically follows the same routine. In order to change the current desperate situation or for the advancement of science, they have to go to the ancient mountains and forests to look for treasures. The team members will make a general introduction, Xiaomei, Xiaoshuai, and Dazhuang, and then there must be a hidden mission, the villain Lao Liu who puts everyone in crisis.
At the beginning of the plot, everyone goes on an adventure peacefully, then things get weird, and then the reckless Da Zhuang will suddenly be swallowed by a python. Then everyone starts to escape, encounters more dangers, and discovers Lao Liu's secret. Lao Liu will eventually be killed by the python because of his ambition, but Xiao Shuai will also die with him.
Xiaomei basically didn't get the treasure in the end, she just managed to save her life, but at least the python was killed. And when everyone thought it was finally over, the python opened its eyes again, or released its wife and children in the cave. Stay tuned for the next part.
Because it was the first time they gathered together to watch a movie, Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan were quite engaged. Every time the giant python appeared, Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan screamed, and the two of them hugged each other very warmly. Only Mei Fang sat aside like an outsider, silently eating potato chips and paying attention to the plot.
The dramas I picked are all ones I have watched, which is really boring...
The best part of this movie is the special effects in the second half. It should have been the scariest moment, but the sound of hawkers hawking snacks outside is always heard at inopportune times. The hawkers use a method close to rap, playing it in an endless loop through a loudspeaker, to announce their arrival to the surrounding residents.
"Tofu brain, steamed buns, flower rolls, sponge cake, stewed egg steamed buns, black fungus soup, white fungus soup, lotus seed porridge, eight-treasure porridge, rice cake, soy milk, milk."
"Tofu brain, steamed buns, flower rolls, sponge cake, stewed egg steamed buns, black fungus soup, white fungus soup, lotus seed porridge, eight-treasure porridge, rice cake, soy milk, milk."
The hawker's loudspeaker penetrated the street, the neighborhood, and even Mei Fang's home. Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi watched the cruel scene calmly, but finally couldn't bear it anymore and exploded.
"It's so noisy outside! Why do they keep stopping here?!"
"Isn't it this time every day..."
Mei Fang reluctantly pressed the pause button, "How about we watch it later?"
"That's true..."
Xia Yuan rubbed his rumbling stomach and looked at the little food left on the coffee table. "Ah Fang, let's go to the stall and buy some food! I want to eat braised eggs."
"Then I'll go down and buy some. What do you want to eat, Youxi?"
"I'll join in too." Lin Youxi said, "The auntie at this snack stand actually makes the best sesame cakes. I don't know why they're not sold in the stalls."
"You two are going? Then I'll go too... But we shouldn't buy too much, we still have to eat dinner. I promised Aunt Mei that I would make sure Ah Fang eats well."
The three of them went to the stall at the entrance of the community and bought braised eggs, tofu pudding and the sesame cakes recommended by Lin Youxi. They finished eating the sesame cakes on the way back to the elevator.
After watching "Snakes 2", the three of them started to cook.
There are some vegetables stocked by mom in the refrigerator so there is no need to buy any. Mei Fang washes rice and cooks, Xia Yuan washes vegetables, and Lin Youxi cuts vegetables and cooks. Although they are all 12 years old, they can handle some matters independently like little adults.
While cooking, the three of them chatted about the plot details of the movie they had just watched, and discussed the content of the next movie they were going to watch.
"Just now I felt sleepy while watching Ah Fang, but the movie I chose this time will definitely not make me sleepy."
Xia Yuan looked very confident, holding a stick on his waist with one hand and said, "I have been following this movie for a long time. It is much scarier than the zombie game we played in the arcade before! Ah Fang, you might pee your pants in fear like when you were a kid, hahaha!"
