Chapter 178: Challenge Accepted
Rain bit her inner lip, struggling to handle Alexander’s brazenness. She couldn’t believe she was lost for words—was she really that drunk? Her body felt warm, the wine clearly having an effect on her senses.
Instead of responding to his last comment, she pretended to focus on the movie. But when a sudden zombie appeared with a suspenseful sound, she instinctively grabbed Alexander’s arm, drawing closer and squeezing it tightly.
"Damn, that’s too many! Run faster!" she exclaimed, her eyes wide. "Shouldn’t zombies move slowly? Why are they so fast in this movie?"
Unbeknownst to her, Alexander was enjoying her reactions—how she hugged his arm and squeezed it every so often. While he wasn’t typically a fan of horror films, having Rain beside him made every second of the experience worthwhile.
He encouraged her to drink more; after all, she should enjoy this moment! He took a deep breath, savouring her feminine, sweet, and fresh scent. He sipped some wine himself and offered her more snacks, watching her delight in them.
A few moments later...
"Seriously! What kind of ending is that!? Why would they kill him like that? Why did he have to die?" Rain complained, her face scrunched up in disbelief. Her words were slurred, a clear sign that she was tipsy by now.
Alexander chuckled, teasingly asking, "Do you want to watch more? I had no idea the ending would be like that. Tyron recommended this movie to me."
Rain took another sip from her glass, turning to him with hazy eyes and a bright smile. He felt an overwhelming urge to pull her close and kiss her.
