Chapter 96 When You Are Soundly Sleeping (Second Update, Please Subscribe First)
After standing up for the second time, Peng Jiayan walked directly out of the ward without any delay.

"Hey, hey, hey, director, please stay!"

Zhai Yuan hurriedly stood up, which suddenly pulled the wound on his back and made him grimace in pain.

Honestly speaking, if he didn't have to rely on the connections of this rich girl to build a team for his own production company, he wouldn't be willing to coax her like this.

"Be careful, cousin."

Zhou Haimei hurriedly supported her. It was this voice that made Peng Jiayan, who had already walked to the door, stop and turn around to look at Zhai Yuan with helplessness on her face.

"Zhai Yuan, can you please be serious?"

"Isn't my story serious?"

Zhai Yuan put his arm around Zhou Haimei's waist and asked with a very incomprehensible expression.

Peng Jiayan stood at the door of the ward, turned around and looked at him, sneering without saying a word.

After all, Zhai Yao is a female man who was brought up in a video hall. She knows what kind of person her elder brother is, so she doesn't find it surprising.

Only Zhou Haimei's face was flushed. Her enlightenment in this regard was at most the common scene of the male and female protagonists kissing on TV, then the camera turned to candlelight, and then the sky outside was bright. How could it be as detailed as what Zhai Yuan described just now.

"It seems a bit sleazy to me and doesn't sound like a movie that could be shown in a theater."

Seeing that no one spoke, Zhou Haimei supported Zhai Yuan and whispered to break the silence.

Zhai Yuan: “Ah?”

When I say "ah", it's not that there's something wrong with me, but that I think there's something wrong with you.

What I am talking about is clearly a particularly excellent movie, just like "Jennifer", which aims to call on society to continue to pay attention to women's safety issues and sound the alarm for women to protect themselves. How come it has become obscene in your place?

"But what you just said about all this messing around is indeed very..."

Zhou Haimei blushed and didn't continue speaking.

"Is that why?"

Zhai Yuan looked at Peng Jiayan, who had a confused expression on her face.

"Narrow! Too narrow! I haven't even added the details yet!"

Peng Jiayan was even more shocked when she heard this. There were even details? How could you be so shameless as to say such a thing in front of three girls?

I have to go!

Seeing that Peng Jiayan was about to leave again, Zhai Yuan hurriedly stopped her and said, "Director, can you respect me a little and sit down and listen to me finish telling this story?"

Peng Jiayan didn't want to pay attention to him at first, but when she saw Zhou Haimei looking at her eagerly, her heart softened immediately.

"Okay, okay!"

Peng Jiayan waved her hands impatiently. This time she didn't even sit down on the chair. She stood at the door and said, "I'll give you one last chance. Speak nicely."

In fact, she still had no hope. Based on the brief summary that Zhai Yuan had just given her, Peng Jiayan was certain that this was another pornographic film that relied on eroticism to attract attention. Zhai Yuan sighed and felt very wronged.

What do you think of the young people nowadays? If I tell you that a beautiful woman fainted for no apparent reason and was dragged into the depths of the forest by seven men, would you think it is a pornographic plot? But I am clearly talking about Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs!
It's not my mouth that's dirty, it's your heart.

“This is the story.”

Zhai Yuan shook his head, cleared his mind of distracting thoughts, closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and when he opened his eyes again, he slowly talked about the excellent low-budget thriller movie in his memory.

"While You Were Sleeping".

"In a multi-room private apartment in Hong Kong, there is a diligent and conscientious administrator. He always smiles at you and is always polite and courteous. But in fact, all of this is his disguise. The seemingly honest and introverted administrator is actually a mentally distorted pervert..."

As Zhai Yuan narrates slowly, a story full of Hitchcockian suspense gradually unfolds.

"While You Were Sleeping" is a niche Spanish film. When it was released, the box office was not very high and only recovered twice the cost. However, its subsequent two remakes in South Korea and mainland China both achieved good box office results.

The film mainly tells the story of a middle-aged perverted apartment manager with a twisted mind. He not only lost the ability to feel happy, but also felt pain when he saw others happy. So he chose to spy on every tenant, find out the reason for their happiness, and then destroy it. Only when he saw the other person crying bitterly, he would feel fulfilled and hopeful.

"Until this pervert met the heroine. The heroine is an operator of an emotional telephone company. She is very pretty and cheerful. No matter how the pervert called her company to intimidate and harass her, she always adhered to the company's philosophy and served every customer who called. This telephone company is called Secret Garden, which specializes in providing customers with an outlet for their emotional needs. The charges are also very cheap. You can get a pretty girl to chat with you for only nine dollars per minute..."

"Pause!"

Peng Jiayan was listening with great interest and had sat back on her chair from the doorway without her noticing. But Zhai Yuan suddenly changed the subject and went off topic.

She couldn't help but interrupt and ask, "This telephone company you're talking about doesn't seem to have anything to do with the plot."

"It really doesn't matter, but I own this telephone company, so of course I have to put plenty of advertising in it." Zhai Yuan answered confidently.

"..." Peng Jiayan was silent for a moment, then said quietly, "If you place an ad like this, be careful of getting fined."

Zhai Yuan curled his lips in disdain: "I have inquired about it. Even if there is a fine, the maximum is no more than 50,000 yuan. I will pay 100,000 yuan to the Film Inspection Office and let them impose the fine slowly."

"Let's continue the story."

Pang Ka Yin was speechless at his stubborn attitude, but as the story progressed, she began to wonder how the story would develop.

In fact, there is nothing much to say about the second half of the story. The plot is nothing more than a psychologically dark apartment manager who sneaks into the heroine's house several times, puts cockroach eggs in her fruits, injects chemicals into her cosmetics, hides under her bed and waits for her to fall asleep before doing anything else.

It is full of curious, prying, thrilling and gloomy atmosphere.

"After the heroine's boyfriend was killed by the administrator on the pretext that he committed suicide, she finally moved out of the apartment sadly, but the child left by her boyfriend brought her new hope and made her smile again. Until a few months later, she was still working diligently at the telephone company with a big belly, and suddenly received a call from the pervert who told her the truth of everything and that the father of the child in her belly was not her boyfriend but himself. The heroine finally broke down and cried, while the pervert who had already escaped on the boat showed a happy smile."

As Zhai Yuan finished the last part of the story, the three girls in the ward were silent for a long time.

He clearly felt that Zhou Haimei's arm around him was getting tighter and tighter.

"hiss--"

Just like a kettle boiling, Peng Jiayan let out a breath of anger from between her teeth.

She stared at Zhai Yuan with a complicated look in her eyes: "You can make up such a story. I think you are a complete pervert!"
