After dinner, my mother went to the factory to bring chicken soup to my father who was working overtime.

The lights in the living room went out, and Xu Mo and I snuggled on the sofa, watching a suspenseful thriller.

The plot gradually reached its climax, and the music became eerie. I slowly leaned towards Xu Mo, holding his hand to partially cover my eyes, showing a look of wanting to see but not daring to.

"Dong--"

Suddenly, the camera angle switched, and a completely unrecognizable face appeared close-up in front of me.

"Ah--"

"Ah--ah--ah--"

I screamed and at the same time, I realized there was another scream that coincided with mine, instantly shattering the terrifying atmosphere.

I let go of Xu Mo's embrace and sat upright. I turned my head and saw a pair of hands grabbing his clothes from behind, and a head desperately leaning on his back.

I looked up and met Xu Mo's helpless pleading eyes.

"Zhou Moyu?" I said, "What are you doing?"

Hearing my voice, Zhou Moyu seemed startled. She lifted her head, cautiously glanced at the screen, and answered unrelatedly, "Is that a ghost?"

Playing this trick on me, I sneered inwardly, swiftly pulled Xu Mo over, and stood between Zhou Moyu and Xu Mo.

Zhou Moyu hesitated for a moment, reluctantly let go of Xu Mo, and when she saw me coming over, she moved her butt to the side, creating a small distance between me and her.

She was practically pushing her cheating scheme onto my face.

The movie continued, and soon reached the next peak of terror.

I burrowed into Xu Mo's embrace, closing my eyes and dared not look anymore.

"Ah--gege, I'm scared--"

Once I heard this voice, I knew Zhou Moyu was up to something again. I quickly grabbed her, who was about to run towards Xu Mo, and pulled her back to where she originally was.

"If you're scared, you can hug onto me. Don't bother Xu Mo."

Zhou Moyu, whose plan didn't succeed, immediately had a disappointed look on her face and grumbled.

"Gege has strong positive energy, it can suppress evil spirits, so I won't be afraid..."

"If you're really so superstitious, then it means you're not suitable to watch this movie. Aren't you tired? Why don't you go back and rest for a bit?"

I gave her a clear expulsion order without any politeness, the underlying meaning of my words was already obvious.

"I'm not tired, I want to watch."

I glanced at her, "Then sit down and watch properly, don't disturb us."

She looked dissatisfied, opened her mouth to say something but didn't, and just glanced at Xu Mo several times with her eyes.

As women, I knew what she was thinking.

And I also knew that she wouldn't be able to stir up any trouble.
