On the rewards for successfully defeating a boss

"So... Brother Chi Mu, you are here, but is that all you have come?" Chen Qian looked at Chi Mu in disbelief, who was wearing pajamas and had an innocent expression.

After breakfast, Chen Qian was so excited. There was a festival market nearby, and he wanted to go with Chi Mu. But when they pushed him and asked him to change his clothes before going out, he said gloomily, "Maybe not today."

People can be careless, but how can Chi Mu be so careless!

Who would cross the ocean without any luggage and only take their documents and themselves?

Except for a few close-fitting pieces that were in the dryer, the rest of the clothes he wore last night were still in the dirty clothes basket. Moreover, his coat was still wet from the melted snow and had to be sent for dry cleaning.

"Then now...we..." After Chen Qian made an appointment with the dry cleaner to pick up his clothes, he sat on the sofa bored.

He had no other plans for the time being, and after searching for a hundred things couples could do at home on his phone for a long time, he couldn't find any new recommendations.

Chi Mu, who was wearing the light blue pajamas, was not idle. He walked around the small apartment and toured it.

"Didn't you say you wanted to watch a movie at home a few days ago? We can watch a movie." Chi Mu was fiddling with the little gadgets that Chen Qian bought at the market two days ago at the table beside the bed. He was so engrossed in watching them that he didn't even look back.

"Want to watch a horror movie?" Chen Qian hesitated. The movie list he compiled was a horror album.

But when they went to the haunted house in the amusement park together before, Chi Mu was obviously scared. Chen Qian was not sure whether he could accept it, so he didn't mention it just now.

"Okay, let's watch it together." Unexpectedly, Chi Mu agreed readily.

Upon hearing this, Chen Qian silently deleted the movie recommendation that was typed into the search bar.

"We have McDonald's snack combo, as well as popcorn, potato chips and cookies. Would you like a ham and cheese soda cracker?" Chen Qian placed the prepared snacks on the coffee table. The plate with a high proportion of yellow looked delicious but a bit monotonous.

"Ham and cheese on soda crackers? No need for that." Chi Mu was tidying up the projector's cables and turning it on. He was a little surprised to hear Chen Qian reading out a string of dishes like a name.

In just a short while, I don't know where he took out those things from behind McDonald's.

"Then I'll find another blanket while you get the projector ready."

The first film was directed by James Wan, a director Chen Qian really likes. It was the second installment in the Conjuring series. It was said to be based on a true exorcism incident, and Chen Qian had been looking forward to it for a long time, but she never had the time to watch it.

The lights in the living room were turned off one by one, and even the curtains were drawn tightly to create a more festive atmosphere. Chen Qian curled up safely under the blanket, held in Chi Mu's arms.

The silence was gradually broken by the heavy background music, and the expressions on the faces of the people on the screen changed, and their words were full of tension.

Chen Qian's mood was affected by the plot, and he became nervous unconsciously, and his hands that were holding the blanket tightened.

The plot gradually progressed and reached a small climax, with tables and chairs dancing wildly and bowls and plates breaking into pieces.

Suddenly, the background sound changed, and an enlarged ugly ghost face occupied almost the entire screen!

"Ah!" Chen Qian couldn't help but exclaimed, and his body shook. At the same moment, the blanket in his hand accurately covered Chi Mu's eyes, perfectly blocking the distorted ghost face.

This sudden movement made Chi Mu stunned for a moment. Just when he was about to hold the hand holding the blanket in front of his eyes, he heard Chen Qian say, "Okay, he's gone."

The blanket was then taken back.

The light reflected from the screen was very weak, barely illuminating Chen Qian's face. From that faint smile, one could see a hint of comfort.

"Baby, are you protecting me?" Chi Mu was a little surprised.

"Well, you're scared, aren't you?" Chen Qian took the hand he was about to hold, put it in the blanket and patted it, and said naturally: "I will help you block any scary places, don't be afraid!"

Chi Mu felt that his heart was like an ice cream under the scorching sun, melted into a soft puddle.

"Baby, you're done. Because you're so cute, I'm going to cling to you for the rest of my life, like a ghost!"

"Ah! The ghost is here again! Brother Chi Mu, stop talking and come over here."

Chen Qian raised his blanket again, covering the person next to him.

Just as he was busy paying attention to the scene, Chi Mu attacked him from the side. He couldn't help but loudly condemn him: "I said come over and hide for a while, not to kiss me! Go away!"

"No, the ghost is here again, baby, please protect me~"

"Liar! Go away! Ugh..."
