139 What an Adorable Scaredy Cat! (1/2)

Su Yan stared at the screen of the notebook that was resting on Nie Chang's legs and frowned before turning to his boyfriend. ”How is this a romantic movie?”

Nie Chang gazed back at him with a particularly innocent look. ”It isn't.”

Su Yan blinked. ”What do you mean?”

”I never said it was.”

”Hah?”

”It's not a romantic movie. It's obviously a horror movie.” He motioned at the screen that was showing the bloody face of a demon.

The movie wasn't that old but the whole thing looked so ridiculously fake to him that he really wondered if this wasn't a comedy instead. Su Yan didn't seem to think so though. He had already clutched Nie Chang's arm, his nails digging into his skin.

”Why isn't it a romantic movie? We've always watched romantic movies together!” His tone was especially aggrieved. How could Nie Chang trick him like this?! He had expected some light-hearted, funny school romance or something and now he got blood-soaked warriors and hideous ghosts!

”Well, that was when I was still trying to woo you … I thought the romantic atmosphere might rub off on us? But now …”

Nie Chang smiled wryly. He had actually hoped this could end up as a romantic evening where Su Yan pretended to be scared for his sake so that he could loop an arm around him and hold him close. But it seemed wanting to snuggle in bed was asking for too much. Five minutes into the movie his darling seemed indeed a little scared. Was this the overly imaginative mind of an author running amok?

Come to think of it, he really had never watched a horror movie with Su Yan. But, well, he could have known before that it would end like this. Hadn't Su Yan sometimes called him over in the middle of the night because he was scared? He just never would have thought that even such a badly made movie could scare him to this extent … So it turned out his little darling wasn't just a cute and lazy cat but also a scaredy cat.

Nie Chang cleared his throat, wrenched his arm from Su Yan's grasp and still looped it around his shoulder. Never mind, it certainly wasn't bad to hug Su Yan when he was scared either. Although … he had a bit of a guilty conscience watching this movie with him now.

”Maybe … we could change to something else?”

”No!” Su Yan frowned.

Alright, he hated horror flicks but he definitely wouldn't let Nie Chang change the movie now! Wouldn't he think he was easily scared then? He couldn't let that happen!

Thus, without knowing that his boyfriend already thought exactly that, Su Yan watched the movie with newfound determination. Needless to say, it didn't even take another five minutes for him to burrow closer into Nie Chang's arms and he stayed there for the rest of the movie.

In an excellent mood, Nie Chang finally put the notebook away. Mn, his goal for this evening had been achieved. Watching a horror movie and cuddling with your boyfriend really was the best way to spend an evening!

He leaned to the side and hugged Su Yan, giving him a gentle kiss on the temple. ”Alright. It's late already. How about going to sleep?”

”Mn!” Su Yan hurriedly nodded and burrowed into Nie Chang's arms again.
