Chapter 206 Staying up late to watch movies
At night, Finn waited until everyone had washed up before he went into the bathroom in his pajamas. When he came out, he found a pair of earplugs on the bedside.
Finn picked it up puzzledly.
"Aunt Meilin just brought it over. Wear it before going to bed. There is a 'little mouse' living in this room."
"Brother!" Ryan was angry that Kane exposed his shortcomings in front of others, "It's just grinding your teeth! You're so annoying!"
Kane ignored him and shouted across him: "Weier! Do you want to switch with your brother? I'm farther away from the noise."
Xu Weiwei rejected his kindness: "It's okay, brother, these earplugs have a good sound insulation effect."
After saying that, Xu Weiwei propped up the pillow, leaned on it and began to read. She was reading the two detective novels that Finn recommended to her.
After confessing, she no longer had any worries in front of her brother. She could do whatever she wanted without having to hide anything.
Ryan noticed the dense words on her device and asked casually, "Are you reading a medical book?"
"No, I was watching 'Murder on the Northern Train'. Brother Finn said it was good."
"I've heard of this name. I remember there seemed to be a film and television version of it. Do you want to watch it together?" Ryan asked.
Xu Weiwei was a little conflicted. She was not very confident about the film and television adaptations. Many times, human power is not enough to present the content expressed in words. If you happen to encounter an irresponsible production team, it will be a devastating blow to the original work.
But her second brother had brought it up, and she felt it was not good to refuse this kind of "family moment", and she didn't like to spoil other people's fun, so she agreed.
"OK".
"Do you want to watch a movie? 'Murder on the Northern Train.'" Ryan asked the others out of politeness.
Ryan and Kane agreed with interest, and Finn also thought it was okay.
So Ryan woke up the smart assistant in the room, and a giant screen slowly extended from the wall, retrieved the video Ryan mentioned, and started playing it.
Xu Weiwei was a little surprised. She didn't even know there was a TV hidden behind the wall. It was really invisible.
Holding her pillow, Xu Weiwei ran to Ryan's bed and found a comfortable position to watch the movie. The second brother's bed was in the middle, which was the best position. She was a little squinting in that position.
Seeing this, Ryan also went over to join in the fun, and tried to get between the two of them. Ryan kicked him down impatiently: "Don't squeeze, go back to your own bed and watch."
"I won't! Why can my sister do it but I can't? I want to watch here!" Ryan climbed up again tenaciously and stubbornly, and sat cross-legged on Ryan's quilt like a nail.
Ryan saw that his position didn't pose much of a problem, so he just let him be.
Kane looked at his good brother on the left, patted the bed, then raised an eyebrow at him and said, "Want to come over? Say something nice."
Finn said with a straight face: "I think you haven't laughed enough."
"Hey, what are you doing! Don't come over here! Go, go, go back to your own bed! Ouch!"
"Shh——" Xu turned slightly and put her index finger against her lips, signaling them to keep their voices down.
The two people who were huddled together let go of each other's hands tacitly the next second and sat up straight.
Xu Weiwei didn't have high expectations for this film, but she was drawn into it as she watched. It can be seen that the costumes, props, and shooting locations were carefully selected.
The actors' acting skills are also on point, and the camera tracking methods and transitions are very clever, increasing the immersion of the story.
Several people who had not read the original novel couldn't help but discuss and speculate who the real murderer was.
Just when the plot was reaching its climax, the voice of No. 7 came from outside the door - "My dear masters, the lights will be turned off in ten minutes. Are you ready for bed?"
Finn was surprised: "You still have this?"
"Why, you don't have any? Your parents don't care what time you go to bed?"
"No, they expect me to be self-disciplined."
Kane was silent, not knowing whether to envy or sympathize.
"Don't worry about this for now. Do you want to increase the speed? It will be disconnected soon." Ryan asked for everyone's opinions.
"No, it's such a good plot, turning it upside down will ruin the viewing experience."
My younger sister had the strongest opinion, and no one else said anything.
Not long after, the room suddenly darkened, the screen went out, and everyone let out a wail.
Finn's voice came from the darkness: "Do you need me to tell you what's going on? And who the murderer is."
"Don't!"
"do not want!"
This feeling of being anxious and anxious halfway through reading was really torturous. Xu Weiwei was thinking about staying up late to finish reading the novel, but the next second, a strong light hit her face.
Ryan turned on the optical computer and typed the name of the movie he was watching on the laser keyboard. After finding it, he looked at Xu Weiwei and said, "Do you want to watch it?"
Is there any need to ask? You definitely have to watch it!
"Just keep watching, Wo..."
Finn was planning to go back to his bed to sleep, as he had already seen it all, but Kane hooked his neck and dragged him to Ryan's bed, locking his legs around his waist and his arms around his upper body, restricting him so that he could not move.
Finn had to change his words: "It's still so interesting to watch it again, let's finish it together. Let's loosen up, I'll turn over, you can't see it from this angle."
A man who knows the current situation is a hero. It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Wait for me...
Ryan dragged the progress bar and quickly located the place they just saw. Just as he was about to continue, number seven arrived.
"My dear little master, are you asleep? No. 7 noticed that the brightness in the room is too high. I would like to remind you to use smart devices properly. Staring at the screen in the dark will hurt your eyes."
"Got it, number seven! Now go!"
After hearing the response, the brightness received by the photosensitive chip also dropped, and No. 7 left with peace of mind.
In the room, Finn looked at the heads that were very close together speechlessly: "Do we have to be like this? Aren't you bored?"
Kane used his hands to prop up the quilt a little higher: "It's not stuffy anymore, it seems that No. 7 has left. We can continue, turn down the volume a little."
"I bet the murderer must be the flight attendant. He has the best conditions to commit the crime."
"Not necessarily. The more impossible it is, the more likely it is to be the truth. I think it was the racer or his sister. It could also be that the brother and sister colluded to commit the crime."
"I think it's the chef! He doesn't look like a nice guy!"
In the interval of the discussion, the three of them couldn't help but observe Finn's reaction, hoping to get some evidence, but there was nothing to see on Finn's face.
"Who do you think it is, Wei'er?"
"Me? I don't know... If I want to bet, I'd guess someone different from you, the photographer." Xu Weiwei said casually.
After hearing this, Finn's breathing paused for a moment, then he smiled and said, "Keep reading."
"What is the punishment for guessing wrong?"
"Hmm - no going to the bathroom tomorrow?" Ryan said after thinking for a moment.
"This is too cruel... No, say something more normal." Ryan rejected it decisively.
"The loser gets to eat a whole lemon tomorrow!" Kane said, then immediately regretted it. "No, no, I can't take that risk. My mouth is watering now."
"How about giving the winner some privileges? Like being the boss for a day and everyone has to listen to him," Finn suggested.
"That's fine. Don't worry, you'll just be hurting yourself."
Xu Weiwei didn’t care at all who won or lost. No matter what the result was, her brothers would definitely not let her suffer any loss. She was confident now.
