Chapter 33: Baby, Are You Really an Alpha?
Shen Xun was still watching the movie. When she turned her head, she saw the little puppy already huddled behind her. She reached out and patted Su Jian Yue to comfort her. Just then, a horror scene was playing. The projection was on the entire wall, so it was particularly terrifying.
Su Jian Yue immediately closed her eyes and leaned on Shen Xun’s shoulder. “Older Sister, is it over? Is the ghost gone?”
Shen Xun wasn’t even paying attention to the horror scene playing. She just thought her little puppy was cute. She was so grown up, yet she was still afraid of ghosts.
“Almost, almost. I’ll call you when this scene is over,” Shen Xun said softly.
“Mhmm,” Su Jian Yue replied obediently. But even with her eyes closed, Su Jian Yue was still shaking from the terrifying background music.
The netizens in the live stream were all amused.
[LOL, our baby is so timid. She has to lie on her older sister’s body.]
[So cute. Baby, are you really an alpha?]
[Our baby is just a cute little cream cake.]
[Hahaha, our baby closes her eyes during the horror scenes. What a clever little ghost.]
[But Shen Xun is so brave. She and Su Jian Yue are so complementary in every way.]
[Ahhhhhh! I’m shipping them. I love their interaction so much. What’s the difference between this and dating?]
On the other side, it was finally a normal scene. Shen Xun reached out and patted Su Jian Yue. “Alright, the ghost part is over. You can open your eyes now.”
Only then did Su Jian Yue tentatively open her eyes. She still didn’t dare to be too far from Shen Xun. She didn’t even dare to eat potato chips, afraid that a ghost would jump out and scare her halfway through.
Liang Wenjing, who was next to her, saw how scared she was and just thought Su Jian Yue was cute. But when she saw Su Jian Yue leaning into Shen Xun’s arms, she felt a bit sour. It was as if Su Jian Yue and Shen Xun had their own couple’s bubble that no one else could enter.
When the movie finally ended, Jiang Ying teased with a smile, “Su Jian Yue, you had your eyes closed for half the time. Did you even understand what the movie was about?”
Su Jian Yue shook her head. “I was just focused on closing my eyes. Even so, I still saw a few terrifying ghost faces. I’m doomed. I won’t be able to sleep tonight.”
Shen Xun reached out and patted the top of Su Jian Yue’s head, comforting her softly, “It’s all fake. Don’t be scared.”
“I’m scared even if it’s fake,” Su Jian Yue muttered under her breath.
“Let’s switch to a romance movie. It’s too stimulating to watch something like this at night. It’ll be hard to sleep,” Shen Xun said, afraid that her little puppy was too scared.
“Alright,” Jiang Ying said, and took the staff’s phone to project a romance movie.
Just then, Zhao Qifei and the others had also finished eating and came over, and a few more people joined the movie-watching group.
Since it wasn’t a horror movie, Su Jian Yue was no longer scared. She started to eat the small snacks in her hand and even obediently handed some to Shen Xun. “Older Sister, do you want some?”
Shen Xun found her cute. Taking advantage of the dim light in the living room, she pinched Su Jian Yue’s cheek. “No, you can eat them yourself.”
“Okay,” Su Jian Yue replied very obediently.
But their small actions were still seen by Yu Lin. Yu Lin felt that it would be difficult for her to win Su Jian Yue’s affection. After all, Su Jian Yue’s eyes were all on Shen Xun.
The group watched the movie until past ten at night before they all dispersed.
When Su Jian Yue and Shen Xun went up to the second floor, she was a bit reluctant to go back to her room. Su Jian Yue held onto Shen Xun’s wrist, not wanting her to go back to her room.
Seeing the little puppy holding onto her and not letting go, Shen Xun asked with a smile, “It’s past ten o’clock. It’s time to go back and rest. What’s wrong?”
Seeing that there were still cameras, Su Jian Yue leaned close to Shen Xun’s ear and whispered, “I’m a little scared.”
Shen Xun was so amused she laughed. “Didn’t you barely watch it?”
“I’m still scared. Can you stay with me for a while?” Su Jian Yue shook Shen Xun’s wrist, acting cute.
Seeing the little puppy so scared, Shen Xun had no choice but to nod. “Okay, I’ll wait until you’re asleep before I leave. Is that okay?”
“Mhmm.” Only then did Su Jian Yue feel a little relieved. She was really afraid of ghosts. Who understood?
The netizens in Su Jian Yue’s live stream, however, were getting excited.
[Ahhh, Su Jian Yue is so smooth. She’s acting cute with her older sister and asking her to stay with her in her room.]
[A soft little puppy is begging you to stay with her. Who can refuse?]
[If I were Shen Xun, I would also dote on Little Moon. She’s so cute.]
[Hahaha, our baby is still a little girl who’s afraid of ghosts.]
Su Jian Yue and Shen Xun went back to the room. Shen Xun smiled. “Go take a shower. I’ll stay here with you.”
“Older Sister, then don’t leave,” Su Jian Yue said, still a bit scared, afraid that Shen Xun would leave before she came out.
Shen Xun smiled and agreed. “Okay, you can go in and wash without worry. I’ll wait until you’re in bed and help you turn off the lights before I leave.”
“Hehe, you’re the best.” Only then did Su Jian Yue feel relieved and take her nightgown to take a shower.
Shen Xun was bored, so she had no choice but to pick up a magazine in the room and flip through it.
On Su Jian Yue’s side, she quickly washed her hair, rinsed her body, and came out. The whole process only took twenty minutes.
Su Jian Yue opened the bathroom door, blow-dried her hair, and then quickly ran out.
“Older Sister, I’m done,” Su Jian Yue said obediently. She sat on the edge of the bed, reluctant to let Shen Xun leave.
Seeing the little puppy’s reluctant look, Shen Xun smiled and picked up her phone. She sat on a chair not far from Su Jian Yue and started to edit today’s heartbeat message.
[Anonymous: You’re a cute little puppy who’s afraid of ghosts today too. If you’re still scared at night, you can come find me.]
The moment Su Jian Yue sat down, she received a message. She picked it up with a guilty conscience, afraid that it was from someone else and would make her older sister angry again.
Seeing the content of the message, Su Jian Yue’s eyes lit up. She looked at Shen Xun with red ears, as if she had been soaked in a honey pot.
Her older sister wasn’t angry anymore and had sent her a message again. Su Jian Yue didn’t say anything. She edited her message with a smile on her face.
[Anonymous: Okay~ Thank you, Older Sister. I also like Older Sister a lot today. (little dog wagging tail frantically.jpg)]
Shen Xun’s phone chimed. She looked down at the message Su Jian Yue had sent her, the smile on her lips unstoppable. Her little puppy had such a sweet mouth, and the emojis she sent were also so cute.
The netizens in the live stream immediately exploded.
[Whoa, sending heartbeat messages in front of each other. Our XunYue CP is too advanced.]
[Ahhhhhh, so sweet. What’s the difference between this and the two of them confessing to each other?]
[Little Moon is so direct. She said she likes her older sister!]
[The little dog wagging its tail emoji at the end is also so cute. Isn’t that just her?]
Shen Xun looked at Su Jian Yue. “Why are you so sweet-tongued today?”
“I’m sweet-tongued every day. Hehe,” Su Jian Yue said obediently.
Shen Xun checked the time. It was already ten-thirty. She stood up and walked to the bed, reaching out to pat the top of Su Jian Yue’s head. “I should go back and take a shower now. You should go to bed early too. If you’re really scared, you can come find me.”
“Mmm, I should be fine once I’m in bed,” Su Jian Yue replied, rubbing her ears.
“Mmm, I’ll go cover the camera for you. And give me your personal microphone. I’ll put it away for you.”
Su Jian Yue very cooperatively handed her personal microphone to Shen Xun. Shen Xun helped her put the microphone on the table, then took the black cover to cover the camera.
“Good night, everyone. Su Jian Yue is going to sleep. I’m going to cover the camera now,” Shen Xun said, and then covered the camera with the black cover.
Only then did Shen Xun walk back to the bed. Her own personal microphone was still on her, so the conversation in the room would still be picked up by the microphone.
“You can go to sleep now. Should I turn off the main light? Do you want me to help you turn off the bedside lamp?” Shen Xun asked.
Su Jian Yue shook her head. “No need, Older Sister. You should go back and rest soon.”
“Okay, then see you tomorrow.”
“See you tomorrow.”
After settling the little puppy down, Shen Xun went back to her room to take a shower and change her clothes. By the time she was done, it was already eleven-thirty.
Shen Xun covered the camera in her room and then lay down on the bed to rest.
On the other side, Su Jian Yue was tossing and turning, unable to sleep. She had been timid since she was a child. When she watched ghost movies at night, although she would close her eyes during the horror scenes, she still saw a little.
Now, whenever she closed her eyes, she could remember what the ghost in the movie looked like. Su Jian Yue wanted to cry. No matter how she tossed and turned, she couldn’t fall asleep. She even felt like someone was hiding in her room.
It was almost twelve o’clock, and Su Jian Yue was still scared.
She pitifully climbed out of bed, grabbing her pillow and hugging it. Then she paced around the room, hesitating whether to go find her older sister. It was still a few minutes to twelve o’clock. She didn’t know if her older sister was asleep yet.
She was really a bit scared. After twelve o’clock, she wouldn’t even dare to go out into the hallway. It was all that movie’s fault. It had made her too scared to sleep.
After thinking for a long time, she decided that instead of being scared and paranoid here, it would be better to go to her older sister’s room and sleep on the floor. With her older sister accompanying her, she wouldn’t be scared. She would be very well-behaved.
With that thought, Su Jian Yue mustered up her courage, hugged her pillow, and left her room. Then she walked to Shen Xun’s door.
The hallway was quiet at this time. Su Jian Yue couldn’t help but shiver. She didn’t dare to hesitate anymore and reached out to knock on Shen Xun’s door.
Shen Xun was already feeling sleepy. Hearing the knock on the door, she quickly turned on the light in her room. Knocking at this time, it must be the little puppy who was really scared, right?
As Shen Xun got out of bed, she asked, “Who is it?”
“It’s me.”
Sure enough, Su Jian Yue’s voice came from the door.
Shen Xun quickly went to open the door. The moment she opened it, she saw the little puppy standing at her door, pitifully hugging a pillow.
Shen Xun made way and gestured for Su Jian Yue to come in. “Come in first.”
Su Jian Yue obediently entered Shen Xun’s room. The moment she entered, she immediately felt like she had come back to life.
Shen Xun looked at the little puppy with amusement and asked, “Are you so scared you can’t sleep?”
“Not at all. I’m just a little scared. My room is too quiet, and I don’t dare to stay by myself. Older Sister, can I sleep on the floor in your room tonight? I promise to be good. I definitely won’t do anything,” Su Jian Yue said, afraid that her older sister would kick her out.
As she spoke, she even used her fingers to pinch the pillow in her arms, looking even cuter.
Shen Xun moved closer and reached out to pinch Su Jian Yue’s cheek, teasing, “What kind of trouble can a little milk puppy like you cause?”
Su Jian Yue looked at Shen Xun obediently and smiled. “I’m just giving an example. I’m very well-behaved. I definitely won’t do anything bad.”
Shen Xun chuckled and nodded. Her own little puppy had come to beg her. Of course, she would take her in.
Shen Xun’s fingertip gently tapped on the tip of Su Jian Yue’s nose. “You can stay, but you don’t have to sleep on the floor. It’s not hygienic, and you can easily get sick. The bed is so big. You can just sleep on the other side.”
“But, but I’m an alpha. Aren’t you scared, Older Sister?” Su Jian Yue looked up at Shen Xun and asked softly.
Shen Xun was so amused by her she laughed. She placed her hands on both sides of Su Jian Yue’s cheeks and rubbed them. It had to be said, the texture was really nice. “What do I need to be afraid of from a little milk puppy like you with no attack power? Am I afraid you’ll get up in the middle of the night to steal snacks? Or am I afraid you’ll get up in the middle of the night to steal juice?”
Su Jian Yue didn’t struggle as Shen Xun pinched her face. She looked at Shen Xun pitifully. “Older Sister, you’re looking down on me!”
Shen Xun pinched Su Jian Yue’s face a couple more times and said perfunctorily, “No, no. You’re the fiercest alpha in my heart. Really, really.”
“Hmph~” Su Jian Yue looked at Shen Xun’s perfunctory expression. Hmph! Older Sister clearly didn’t believe she was a fierce alpha.
But then, Su Jian Yue deflated again. It wasn’t her older sister’s fault for not believing her. She didn’t even believe it herself. What kind of fierce alpha would be afraid of ghosts?
