Chapter 9: The so-called thriller (1)
I put on all the lights in the bedroom, rolled in blanket, self-muttering: "I fear nothing, there isn’t anything….No skull or anything, nothing ...."
I felt I was really nothing but a big and fake moose. Really good for nothing. At the moment though I was dead tired but was still very sober, could not sleep. Sleep as well as nightmares could not come.
Forget it or still watch a horror movie. I was afraid of ghosts, but at night with nothing else to do I really wanted to see a ghost movie. That kind of feeling, like knew it should not be done, doing it would have very serious consequences, but unable to hold back the heart from giving it a try, that kind of feeling, I don’t know if you have ever experienced that or not.
He Zhi though sometimes made things very bad but most of the time they were quite to my liking. A few days ago, she sent me several horror movie DVDs , claiming that now it was left on me to liven up the atmosphere. Although, I thought that the idea of using horror movie to liven up the atmosphere certainly belonged to a screwed up mind, but on the basis of the principle “No need to waste”, I simply took it.
The best conditions to watch horror movies was, large room, big screen, late at night, have to be alone, except for the TV, all the lights must be turned off. After that a person cowering on the couch, trembling while watching, so stimulating.
Jiang Li’s home, no, I must call it our home; our home had a large living room, it had a set of a 45-inch LCD television perfectly well-equipped. So I picked the DVD, softly ran to the living room, turned on the TV, put in the disc and adjusted the volume just right, so as to not wake up Jiang Li. After turning off the light, I retreated on the sofa, mouth opened while waiting for the horror scenes, prepared to give a good loud and shrill scream.
The movie began with a glamorous and beautiful woman giving a bizarre look, I guessed eighty percent either she was a ghost or was possessed by a ghost. As a result my nerves were tensed; watched more and even more however it did not stuck. Throughout the movie there were no subtitles, explanation on the cover also pointed to a list of fables with some foreign names.-a pack of lies, Devil’s words!! What made me think they were lies? First, He Zhi bought a gift for me and did not even mind at all!!! Moreover, in more than half of the movie the ghost seemed very lascivious, there were a few subtitles in Chinese that even I could recognize as violation of the ban! My heart grew more and more strange. Apparently this glamorous beauty was raped and killed and thus was really pitiful.
And then leaped out an actor, from his appearance it could be said he looked like a lowly slave, ran up to the beauty and talked, I really did not know what they were saying. Then the whole background of the movie began to change, that color tone, it did not feel like a supernatural horror, it made the people feel a bit….erotic, uh?
Then, the two actors began kissing and touching each other.
I was outraged; the horror movie market has also fallen down, using bed scenes to attract viewers! I was thoroughly indignant, since I particularly could not stand the fact that they chose such a wretched man to do the bed scenes, what, director, are you sure you did not want to ruin this movie?
I had a particular trait; whatever I start I would do it till the end. So when some restricted images on the TV jumped in front of my eyes, I completely came back to my senses, with face ready to burst in tears.
Oh Holy God, this horror movie was sort of, it was basically a p@@@! He Zhi, you’re too
much, tomorrow I would hang you up with a whip.
At this point I was still foolishly staring at the screen, it was like the whole body’s nerves were struck by lightning, temporarily did not know what to do.
Then Jiang Li appeared from behind. Like a ghost floated beside me and in an ominous tone said: "What are you watching?"
I reflexively jumped from the sofa, stood in the front of the TV, wanted to use my body to block those two bodies that were intertwined on the screen, but since the circumference of my bottom was only 87, the digital crystal display of the 45 inches TV still emerged a bit from behind.
I had never seen a p@@@, and watching it in front of a man, I really felt uncomfortable, even though this man was not interested in women. So I bite the bullet and said: "watching a... horror." I did not say anything wrong, for me this stuff really was very ... scary.
At this time though I had covered most of the displayed picture but could not stop the sound. From the TV playful moans of a girl came, making the heart of people listening chaotic. The wretched male actor also spoke some nonsense rumble but fortunately, I did not understand what he said.
However, I did not understand did not mean Jiang Li also did not understand, really felt like crying. The two of us were silent for a moment, and then suddenly Jiang Li said: "This horror movie’s lines are very interesting, should I translate it for you a bit?”
I staggered unsteadily, almost on the spot fell on the ground. So in a moment of anger, I deftly turned off the TV.
Silence, the whole room went dark as well.
When suddenly plunged into the darkness, the light sensitivity of a person’s eyes tends to be low. Like a blind person I ran my hands all over, fumbling my way back to the room and then tripped over the table in front of sofa. When I fell, I thought surely Jiang Li would catch me; this was exactly where the essence of ‘dog’s blood*’ lies.
* gou xue meaning to pour dogs blood onto curse or berate someone. Whenever she uses this word she basically is cussing and swearing.
So the next second I was lying in Jiang Li’s arms very peacefully. Probably due to his large stature, his embrace let people have a sense of security.
I was about to open my mouth to say thanks to Jiang Li, but he had already unceremoniously flung me on the sofa, then strode to the door to turn on the lights. What I did not understand was, how he did not stumble.
Then Jiang Li without glancing at me even once directly entered the bathroom.
I was really curious about what he wanted to do, so ask: "what the hell are you doing?"
From the bathroom sound of rushing water transmitted, he seemed almost very impatient: “taking a shower, can’t do?”
Me: "have you not taken a bath already?”
Jiang Li’s voice blew through like cold drafts: “your horror movie made me break out in cold sweat.”
Me: "...."
I knew he absolutely would not miss the opportunity to mock me!
I hung my head, got up from the sofa to go to my room. When I was at the door, teasing voice of Jiang Li drifted out again: "It seems you are really
not frigid at all."
Jiang Li you’re really perverted!
I just slammed the door to express my anger.
