Supremely Talented Tyrant

Chapter 2144: Chapter 2345: Scaring Xiaohai!!!

Hao Jian found himself really unable to understand this little girl Liang Xiaohan. She clearly seemed scared to death, her whole body slightly trembling, and from time to time she would subconsciously glance at him. Yet she still put on a tough front, stubbornly refusing to admit her fear.

Admitting her fear would simply mean losing the bet, but he couldn’t really do anything to her even if she lost. Yet this little girl was so rigid and single-minded, her brain wouldn’t turn at all. Listening to her words, it looked like even she didn’t believe what she was saying.

"I..." For a moment, Liang Xiaohan wanted to say something to hide her embarrassment, but suddenly found she couldn’t get a word out. Then she glared at Hao Jian and pretended to seriously watch the movie.

Hao Jian didn’t say more, continued watching the movie, and during a moment of boredom went to the fridge to get something to eat, savoring it with relish. The night atmosphere and environment, paired with the movie and delicacies, were just perfect for him, a great way to pass the time.

He was munching on chips and sipping milk, while Liang Xiaohan fearfully glanced at him. Using the corner of his eye, he saw this but pretended he didn’t, keeping his eyes fixed on the screen while continuing to sip his milk. Seeing this, Liang Xiaohan slowly hid her eyes behind the pillow in her hands.

"Haha..." At this moment, Hao Jian suddenly reached out and snatched the pillow from Liang Xiaohan’s hands with a playful look, saying, "You’re scared, you lost."

Liang Xiaohan forcefully snatched the pillow back from his hands, angrily looked at him, and said, "You’re the one who’s scared! You’re the one who lost!"

"I’m scared?" Hao Jian pointed to himself. He was puzzled now; he remained calm while her face clearly showed fear. Who was scared here? It was so obvious, but why wouldn’t she admit it?

Understanding this, Hao Jian smiled and said, "Alright, alright, you’re not scared, you didn’t lose, let’s continue watching the movie."

Liang Xiaohan ignored Hao Jian, taking back the pillow and continuing to watch the movie. Hao Jian originally didn’t want to keep confronting Liang Xiaohan, but seeing her stubborn refusal to admit defeat, he got interested. If you won’t admit defeat, fine. After all, the movie’s climax is coming soon, the scariest part is coming soon. I don’t believe you won’t be afraid, let’s see how long you can hold on. Thinking this, Hao Jian’s face showed a sinister grin.

Sure enough, a minute or two later, the film’s sound effects changed completely, becoming increasingly terrifying. The sound effects alone created a chilling and spooky atmosphere, making your skin crawl, coupled with the increasingly intense visuals, the horror effect reached a peak.

Originally hugging the pillow, Liang Xiaohan now clutched it tightly in fear, her face a mask of terror. If not for the bet with Hao Jian, she would have already shut off the projector, ran into her room, shut the door tight, and hid under the covers, trembling unable to come out.

She was holding on only because she didn’t want to lose to Hao Jian. At first, she thought Hao Jian didn’t want to watch the movie because he was scared. But now she saw Hao Jian’s calm demeanor, those frightening things not impacting him at all, even eating just fine. She felt the things she ate earlier were about to be scared out of her, making her want to throw up.

Realizing she made a mistake, she shouldn’t have bet with Hao Jian, it was self-defeating. But since it started, she could only watch through tears, admitting she’s a puppy would be too embarrassing, she just couldn’t do it.

"Buzz..."

At this moment, Liang Xiaohan’s phone suddenly rang, and in her tense state, when the phone beside her suddenly rang, she was so startled she nearly fell to the ground. It was really close, luckily Hao Jian reacted quickly and caught her, otherwise she’d fall off the sofa and hit her head on the coffee table.

A bump on her head, maybe even disfigurement was possible. Hao Jian lifted her up, looked at her with a mocking gaze, and said, "Be careful."

Liang Xiaohan looked at her phone; it was an unknown number, marked as a spam call by eighty-nine people. Normally, she’d immediately hang up and block it, but this time, she sat up and answered the phone.

"Hello! I’m here to sell insurance. Miss, do you need insurance? Buy insurance for your family’s safety..." As soon as she answered, there was a string of standard sales pitch.

Liang Xiaohan showed an angry face, shouting, "You buy insurance, your whole family needs it, your family meet accidents, all die horribly..."

Talking angrily, Liang Xiaohan hung up, threw the phone aside, looking both angry and embarrassed. Normally, she wouldn’t use such words to curse, but this salesperson was too annoying, calling late at night, disrupting people’s dreams, really? Moreover, right as she’s watching a horror movie, the phone rings scaring her half to death, almost ruined her face. Seriously, she’s never been this angry.

Hao Jian chuckled nearby and said, "Alright, alright, don’t be mad, let’s watch the movie."

Liang Xiaohan realized this might be a chance and said, "Not watching anymore, no mood to continue."

Hearing this, Hao Jian realized she’s trying to act tough, but since the bet started, she couldn’t back down, he hadn’t seen her jump up in fright yet. He wanted to hear her admit she’s a puppy, how could he miss such a show?

Just as Liang Xiaohan was pretending to genuinely lose interest and leave, Hao Jian grabbed her hand and pulled her back onto the sofa, saying, "What? Want to go back on your word? Whoever doesn’t watch is a puppy, don’t watch? Either say you’re a puppy or keep watching."

Liang Xiaohan glared at Hao Jian, who said, "What? Still not admitting it!"

Liang Xiaohan originally wanted to leave, but hearing Hao Jian, she felt determined. He wouldn’t let her leave, then fine, she’d stay and see. She said, "Hmph! Who’s leaving? I just wanted something to eat."

Hao Jian smiled and said, "Alright, alright! I’m waiting to see you cry."

Liang Xiaohan snorted and went to get food, but took over three minutes to return with a snack. Sitting back on the sofa, pretending nothing’s wrong, eating and watching the movie. But in reality, Hao Jian knew she was scared to death, yet since she was pretending, he’d act like he didn’t know, watching her push her limits.

However, after a short while, Liang Xiaohan was close to breaking, eating with her eyes barely daring to glance at the screen. Truth is, it was indeed entering the climax, her fear was understandable.

Initially she held out, but soon, she’d begin edging towards Hao Jian. Slowly, she curled up with her pillow, trembling in fear. Hao Jian occasionally spooked her, nearly causing a heart attack. Yet she held on.

At this point, the movie depicted a creepy living room. Gradually, silence fell, like no sound was audible. Liang Xiaohan felt footsteps nearby, not from the movie, but someone actually approaching her.

"Ah!" Suddenly a shadow jumped out, terrifying her into a scream.

"Stay away! Go away, go away, hurry!" Liang Xiaohan screamed desperately, thinking of the killer monster in the movie, petrified, she screamed, "Please go away."

"Hao Jian..." She suddenly cried for Hao Jian’s help.

Suddenly, the living room lights turned on, and Liang Xiaohan discovered it was Hao Jian who made the footsteps and the shadow scaring her; it was all Hao Jian’s prank.

Hao Jian took advantage of her being scared, sneaking behind and staging the terrifying scene, successfully frightening her.

Her fast-beating heart betrayed her fear.

"Haha..." Seeing this, Hao Jian laughed loudly.

"You..." Liang Xiaohan pointed at Hao Jian, looking furious.

Hao Jian laughed and said, "Scared, aren’t you? Now you’ll have to admit it."
