Capítulo 332: Chapter 330: Embracing Left and Right.
Xu Xiuwen fell silent.
He thought to himself: When did these two become so close, and how did Cheng Lu agree to An Shishi frequently staying over?
If it were Xiao Youran wanting to stay over, Xu Xiuwen could be one hundred percent sure that Cheng Lu would never agree.
Xu Xiuwen walked over, took the luggage from the two women, and dragged it to the room.
After changing their shoes, the two women followed him.
An Shishi placed her luggage in the wardrobe of bedroom D, while Cheng Lu put her clothes in the wardrobe of the master bedroom.
Xu Xiuwen asked, "You two haven't eaten yet, right?"
Cheng Lu shook her head, "Not yet."
Xu Xiuwen smiled and said, "Then I'll cook today and let you taste my cooking."
With that, he turned and walked out of the master bedroom.
Xu Xiuwen busied himself in the kitchen.
Soon, Cheng Lu and An Shishi came to the kitchen as well.
Cheng Lu asked, "Can I help with anything?"
Xu Xiuwen waved his hand, "No, just don't get in my way."
Cheng Lu didn't get angry at his words.
She turned to An Shishi and said, "Shishi, let's go to the living room and let him handle this."
"Okay."
The two women went to the living room, turned on the TV, and started watching.
Meanwhile, Xu Xiuwen continued preparing dinner in the kitchen.
He planned to make some hearty dishes.
As the first dish came out of the pan, a voice suddenly piped up from behind him, "It smells so good!"
It was An Shishi's voice.
Xu Xiuwen was almost startled.
He turned around and said irritably, "You scared me! How can you be so quiet?"
An Shishi stood at the kitchen door, her back to Cheng Lu.
She winked at Xu Xiuwen, "I didn't mean to."
Xu Xiuwen waved his hand, "Go away, don't disturb me while I'm cooking."
An Shishi obediently nodded and returned to the living room.
An hour later, Xu Xiuwen plated all the cooked dishes and brought them to the dining table.
"Dinner's ready, wash your hands and let's eat," he called to the two women in the living room.
Cheng Lu and An Shishi got up together and went to the bathroom to wash their hands.
When they returned to the dining room and saw the lavish spread, An Shishi exclaimed, "Xu Xiuwen, you're amazing!"
Cheng Lu also praised, "It looks great."
Xu Xiuwen chuckled, "Sit down and taste it."
The two women picked up their chopsticks and each tried a different dish.
The next second, their eyes lit up simultaneously.
After dinner, Cheng Lu was the first to pick up the dishes and head to the kitchen.
An Shishi pushed Xu Xiuwen out of the kitchen and joined Cheng Lu in washing the dishes.
According to them, since he cooked, they would do the dishes—gender division of labor makes the work easier.
After washing the dishes, Xu Xiuwen's plan was to quickly drag Cheng Lu back to the room to "discuss life."
But Cheng Lu saw through his thoughts immediately.
Blushing slightly, Cheng Lu said, "Let's watch some TV."
She turned on the TV and sat on the sofa to watch.
An Shishi found this amusing.
Cheng Lu was too shy; if it were her, she wouldn't care what others thought.
Xu Xiuwen felt helpless.
He couldn't just forcibly drag Cheng Lu to the room, so he had no choice but to sit on the sofa with her.
To avoid suspicion, he deliberately sat to Cheng Lu's right, leaving her in the middle.
After a while of watching TV with nothing interesting on, An Shishi suddenly asked, "Xu Xiuwen, do you have any DVDs? Let's watch a movie."
Hearing the word "DVD," Xu Xiuwen instinctively exchanged a glance with Cheng Lu.
Cheng Lu remembered that night they watched a DVD and then...
Xu Xiuwen thought about the last DVD he watched with Cheng Lu.
That DVD was very stimulating but not suitable for now.
So he said, "No DVDs."
Unexpectedly, An Shishi suddenly pointed at the DVDs on the TV cabinet and said, "Aren't those DVDs? Xu Xiuwen, you're so stingy, not even letting us watch DVDs. Hmm, wait, are they some indecent DVDs?"
Xu Xiuwen glared at An Shishi from where Cheng Lu couldn't see.
Those DVDs were bought by An Shishi, so she clearly knew what they were.
She was doing this on purpose!
To Xu Xiuwen, An Shishi was playing with fire.
An Shishi didn't get angry at being glared at. She smiled and said, "Let me see if there's anything good to watch."
She got up to look for DVDs.
Xu Xiuwen was in a difficult situation.
He looked at Cheng Lu.
Cheng Lu frowned, her eyes seemed to say: What should we do?
Seeing Cheng Lu's expression, Xu Xiuwen quickly stood up and said, "Shishi, sit down, I'll find the DVDs."
An Shishi smiled and sat back on the sofa.
Xu Xiuwen slowly walked to the TV cabinet.
The DVD he watched with Cheng Lu last time was indecent, and the other one, judging by its cover, was likely the same.
Was he really going to watch it with these two women?
Holding the two DVDs, Xu Xiuwen hesitated.
An Shishi suddenly said, "Are there any DVDs in the cabinet?"
Xu Xiuwen was stunned.
Why did An Shishi suddenly mention the cabinet?
Xu Xiuwen came to his senses and opened the TV cabinet.
Inside were six or seven unopened DVDs.
Xu Xiuwen immediately picked them up and looked at An Shishi.
An Shishi winked at him.
Then she turned to Cheng Lu and asked, "Cheng Lu, what do you want to watch?"
Seeing Xu Xiuwen take out new DVDs from the cabinet, Cheng Lu sighed in relief.
In response to An Shishi's question, she softly said, "Anything is fine."
An Shishi smiled, "Xu Xiuwen, do you have any horror movies? I want to watch a horror movie."
Horror movies?
Xu Xiuwen looked through the DVDs and found two horror movies:
"Mr. Vampire" and "The Skin Stripper."
Xu Xiuwen hesitated for a second and chose "Mr. Vampire."
After choosing the movie, Xu Xiuwen returned to the sofa.
An Shishi suddenly got up and turned off the living room lights.
Cheng Lu asked, "Shishi, why did you turn off the lights?"
An Shishi explained, "It's more atmospheric to watch with the lights off."
Cheng Lu wanted to ask An Shishi to turn the lights back on but couldn't find the words.
Seeing her dilemma, Xu Xiuwen asked, "Lulu, are you scared? If you're scared, we can watch with the lights on."
Not wanting to be underestimated, Cheng Lu shook her head.
So, the three sat down and started the movie.
As the movie began, Xu Guanying's character Wen Cai entered the mortuary.
Wen Cai lit some incense and walked to the curtain, pulling it open.
Behind the curtain stood a row of zombies! Their sudden appearance startled Cheng Lu.
She tightly hugged Xu Xiuwen's shoulders.
The movie continued.
Wen Cai started the incense ritual.
When he gave incense to a coffin, he noticed something unusual and prepared to open it.
Suddenly, the coffin opened, and a skull bit Wen Cai's hand.
This scene made both Cheng Lu and An Shishi scream.
But Xu Xiuwen could tell.
Cheng Lu was genuinely scared.
An Shishi's scream was soft and seemed fake.
An Shishi suddenly said, "Cheng Lu, can Xu Xiuwen sit in the middle? I'm...I'm a little scared."
Without much thought, Cheng Lu agreed.
She said to Xu Xiuwen, "You sit in the middle."
Xu Xiuwen suspected that An Shishi was pretending.
But he couldn't expose her.
So he went along with Cheng Lu's suggestion and moved to sit between the two women.
An Shishi and Cheng Lu sat on either side of him.
The movie continued, and every time a scary scene appeared, the two women hugged him tightly.
Xu Xiuwen had seen the movie "Mr. Vampire" at least three times, so he remembered the content well and wasn't scared at all.
His attention was entirely on the two women's soft bodies beside him.
From their reactions, it was clear.
Cheng Lu's hugs were unconscious reactions from fear.
But not An Shishi's.
She wasn't being honest.
Her hugs were perfectly positioned.
Once or twice could be accidental, but as it happened more, and given how tightly she hugged, it was hard not to think she was doing it on purpose.
With Cheng Lu present.
Xu Xiuwen couldn't do anything to An Shishi.
But if Cheng Lu weren't there, Xu Xiuwen would definitely teach her a lesson.
The movie "Mr. Vampire" was very fast-paced, with continuous thrills and excitement.
Cheng Lu usually seemed calm, but watching a horror movie revealed that she wasn't very brave.
As the movie reached its climax.
An Shishi stopped her little tricks and focused on the movie.
When the characters in the movie held their breath to avoid the zombies.
The two women also held their breath.
This made Xu Xiuwen chuckle.
After the movie ended.
The two women still held on to Xu Xiuwen.
They were still immersed in the thrilling plot.
Xu Xiuwen freed his hands from their embrace and got up to turn on the lights.
When the light came on.
Cheng Lu breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Xiuwen said, "Alright, the movie's over, it's getting late, time to sleep."
An Shishi suddenly asked, "Really sleep? Nothing else?"
Cheng Lu brushed her hair aside and said, "Shishi, what are you talking about?"
An Shishi giggled, her eyes full of mischief.
Xu Xiuwen didn't explain but said, "Don't disturb us."
Then he pulled Cheng Lu back to their room.
As they approached the master bedroom, An Shishi called out, "Keep it down at night, if you're too loud, I won't be able to sleep."
She laughed teasingly.
Xu Xiuwen and Cheng Lu ignored her.
After they closed the door.
Cheng Lu sat on the edge of the bed and asked, "Wasn't it nice being hugged by both of us?"
Xu Xiuwen quickly explained, "That's unfair, you were the one who agreed to let me sit in the middle, and you two scaredy-cats nearly pulled my arms off during the scary parts."
Cheng Lu responded, "I wasn't scared, the movie was just really frightening."
After a pause, she added, "But the movie was quite good."
Xu Xiuwen grinned, "Next time, we'll watch it alone when An Shishi isn't here."
Cheng Lu rolled her eyes and asked, "Do you have other ideas?"
Xu Xiuwen didn't deny it and asked, "What do you think I'm thinking?"
Cheng Lu turned away, "Who knows what you're thinking, you pervert."
Xu Xiuwen laughed, "Since you said I'm a pervert, shouldn't I do what a pervert does?"
Cheng Lu felt a twinge of anxiety and quickly said, "Don't you dare."
Xu Xiuwen smirked and pounced on her.
Afterwards...
Xu Xiuwen and Cheng Lu went to the bathroom to shower together.
After showering, they returned to bed.
Cheng Lu couldn't help but say, "You're a beast!"
Xu Xiuwen knew he had been a bit rough earlier.
He chose to apologize, his tone sincere, "I lost control, it won't happen again."
Cheng Lu retorted, "Do you think I'll believe you? You say that every time, but when have you ever kept your word?"
Xu Xiuwen remained silent.
Seeing this, Cheng Lu didn't press the issue further.
The room's main light was off, with only the starry lights on, creating a cozy atmosphere.
Cheng Lu suddenly said, "Next week, our class is going on a spring outing."
Xu Xiuwen asked, "Oh, where to?"
Cheng Lu replied, "To Tianyun Mountain."
Xu Xiuwen commented, "Tianyun Mountain has pretty good scenery."
Cheng Lu immediately asked, "What about you?"
"What do you mean?"
"Do you want to go with me?"
"Together?" Xu Xiuwen hesitated, "Isn't it inappropriate for me to join your class's outing?"
Xu Xiuwen thought about meeting Xiao Youran and felt a bit reluctant.
In the past, Xu Xiuwen had called and texted Xiao Youran.
But without exception, there was no response.
So Xu Xiuwen didn't know how she was feeling now.
Going on a spring outing was a good opportunity to adjust one's mood.
If Xu Xiuwen appeared in front of Xiao Youran at such a time.
Her mood, which might have been improving, could worsen again.
Cheng Lu looked at his hesitant expression and asked, "What are you worried about?"
Xu Xiuwen glanced at Cheng Lu and saw her slightly serious expression.
He didn't hide it and explained, "I'm worried that seeing me will upset Youran."
Cheng Lu merely said, "Unless you two never meet again, you will see each other eventually. If seeing you makes her upset, it will happen sooner or later, so why not let her get used to it sooner?"
Xu Xiuwen thought about Cheng Lu's words and found them reasonable.
He nodded, "Alright, I'll go with you, but you have to promise not to fight with Youran."
Cheng Lu rolled her eyes, "If she doesn't provoke me, why would I fight with her?"
Xu Xiuwen thought about Cheng Lu's personality and found it true.
She wasn't the type to start trouble.
Soon, it was April 29, with a three-day break including May 1.
Cheng Lu's class planned a two-day, two-night spring outing.
They would take a bus to the scenic spot on the morning of April 29 and return to school by bus on the morning of May 1.
On the morning of April 29.
Marketing students from Jiaotong University gathered at the university parking lot.
Xu Xiuwen arrived near the parking lot with a hat and mask.
Cheng Lu was already there waiting for him.
Recognizing him, she walked up and boldly took his hand, heading toward the parking lot.
Xu Xiuwen felt a bit nervous, knowing he was about to see Xiao Youran, and even considered backing out.
But Cheng Lu held his hand tightly, as if afraid he would escape.
Xu Xiuwen was momentarily stunned.
Cheng Lu wanted him to join her on the outing.
She was using this opportunity to announce their relationship, wasn't she?
If any other girl did this, Xu Xiuwen would find it normal, but Cheng Lu doing this surprised him.
