My wife is a magical girl, how can I be the villain?

Chapter 40 Movies and Senior Students

"Hmm...how about we watch a movie?"

Lin Ruoyu glanced at her phone. It was still early, and she didn't want to go to bed so soon. Today's battle had caused her to become infected. She tried to close her eyes, but bizarre and fantastical images flooded her mind, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.

Perhaps due to the alien substance eroding the transformed jade, her brain was somewhat affected. The mental attack she felt when she fell into the air-shaking area still occasionally appeared before her eyes.

Occasionally, a fleeting glimpse of a pure purple crystal would appear in the corner of one's eye.

"Let me look for it. I just recently became a member..."

Tang Ming opened the TV app, flipped to the video app, and asked, "What kind of movie do you want to watch?"

"I'm fine with anything, as long as it's something interesting to pass the time."

"I think I've already seen all the movies on the homepage. Let's check the index... There are so many types, do you want to choose one? Narrow down your choices." Tang Ming asked while swiping the remote control in his hand.

Lin Ruoyu hesitated as she watched TV, scrolling through a dozen categories. She was having trouble making a choice. Then she glanced at Tang Ming.

She'll watch something he probably likes, mainly to pass the time, and she'll feel a little embarrassed if he doesn't have a good experience.

"Then how about..." After waiting for a long time without hearing Lin Ruoyu's voice, Tang Ming slowly opened his mouth.

"It's a romance film."

"It's a special effects movie!" Lin Ruoyu said at the same time.

what?

Tang Ming and Lin Ruoyu looked at each other blankly, not expecting that the other would speak at the same time.

Tang Ming inwardly groaned. He had been thinking that a young girl like Lin Ruoyu would prefer a romance film, so seeing her hesitation, he finally made the suggestion.

The other person then replied with something about special effects movies...

After a moment of surprise, Lin Ruoyu pursed her lips and chuckled to herself with an ambiguous expression. She realized that the other person might have suggested a romance film because they wanted to take care of her, but she didn't expect that she had the same idea.

But is it possible that Tang Ming is simply a man who likes romantic comedies?

Lin Ruoyu quickly shook her head. Tang Ming, a man with few hobbies and a serious, even somewhat old-fashioned, manner, would definitely not like these things.

You know, Tang Ming always had a serious expression when he was scrolling through his phone! After Lin Ruoyu secretly glanced at it, she couldn't help but laugh out loud, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Shall we watch the special effects then..." Tang Ming seemed to have guessed as well. The two smiled at each other and then looked away.

"We can add both labels," Lin Ruoyu suggested. She was still very meticulous and wouldn't overlook the possibility that the other person genuinely liked romance movies.

"Then let's go with special effects... romance... urban setting..."

The TV remote was really difficult to use. Tang Ming had to press up, down, left, and right several times before he could select all the labels.

"Hey, this first one looks good! Urban romance, love, war, sci-fi." Tang Ming was pleasantly surprised. He clicked on the first movie's details page and found it had such a rich array of tags. The poster and rating also looked pretty good.

"It's called 'The Lower River Fortress'."

"This one will do. Could you get me some drinks?" Lin Ruoyu didn't want to waste any more time waiting. She felt a little uncomfortable as soon as she calmed down, so she wanted to watch a movie to distract herself.

"Okay then." Tang Ming didn't hesitate and readily opened the movie. During the opening scene, he went over to the refrigerator and grabbed two bottles of Coke. Kids don't drink alcohol.

But a glimmer of his years of experience inexplicably swept through his mind: the more varied the labels on a movie, the more dangerous it seemed.

But he didn't dwell on it much and quickly put it out of his mind. Seeing that Lin Ruoyu had already sat up and was watching the big screen intently, he handed her the opened Coke and then went to the living room to turn off the lights.

After sitting down, the two each held a plush toy and a pillow, leaning back on the sofa. They were a little closer together, but still about five feet apart.

As the movie plot deepened, Tang Ming got a little bored and wanted to take out his phone to check it out, but seeing Lin Ruoyu staring intently at the screen, he felt that his behavior was somewhat disrespectful.

Finally, after scrolling through his phone on the other side of his leg for ten minutes, he deeply reflected on his actions and decided to put down his phone and watch with his wife, otherwise it would be very embarrassing if she didn't know anything about the plot.

But after not watching for ten minutes, Tang Ming caught up with the plot and frowned.

Why is the main character still wandering around here? What about the war and aliens?

His radar started flashing, and the eerie filter and clean, bright clothes sounded an alarm in his mind. He could understand the initial brightness and neatness, after all, it was on the eve of war, to highlight the contrast and disarray that would follow.

But even halfway through the movie, this strong theatrical feel hadn't faded. As for romance... well, it seems there is some.

Does it count? I guess so.

He suddenly became interested; perhaps he was more interested in something more intimate at the end of the movie. He glanced at Lin Ruoyu again; she was still staring at the screen in the same posture, her spine ramrod straight, which made him subconsciously straighten his back as well…

"Are you looking at it carefully?" Tang Ming couldn't help but ask.

"...I'm watching." Lin Ruoyu turned her head, her eyes shining brightly in the darkness.

"How are you feeling?"

"Let's see how it goes, it's a bit tricky," Lin Ruoyu offered a rather conservative assessment.

Tang Ming nodded and continued to carefully analyze the plot's potential pitfalls. On the other side, Lin Ruoyu breathed a sigh of relief, turned her head to steal a glance at the phone beside her leg, scanned the fashion sharing section, and then turned off the phone screen.

The couple was at home, sitting on the sofa... doing something as abstract as secretly playing on their phones. Anyone who didn't know better would think they were in a movie theater, or that a teacher was about to confiscate their phones.

Finally, as the plot gradually reached its climax, neither of them looked at anything else, waiting for the final outcome.

"..."

"..."

Tang Ming watched the cast list scroll by, put down his cola, and turned off the TV. "How did you feel...?"

"I think it's a bit awful." Lin Ruoyu looked at Tang Ming cautiously. She didn't know if boys would like this type, especially since there was a senior student there...

"Is it a little bit? I feel like I'm shocked." Tang Ming slumped into the sofa, glanced at his phone, and said, "Congratulations on killing time tonight. Time to take a shower and go to bed."

"Pfft! You think it's bad too?" Lin Ruoyu couldn't help but laugh when she saw the other person's tearful expression.

The two lay helplessly on the sofa, looking at each other. Then, as if thinking of something, they both burst out laughing in unison.

"Well, it doesn't feel like a loss, at least we laughed a bit." Tang Ming laughed, a little breathless.

"I'd rather watch a comedy; I wanted to watch a drama."

Lin Ruoyu was listless. She had originally hoped to distract herself with the movie, but she kept getting distracted during the first half and could only try to get rid of the torment by scrolling through her phone. The second half was much better; the movie was already a death sentence, and there was no need to expect a reversal.

Rather, it's more accurate to say they never had any expectations; they were simply waiting for the final, relieved smile.

"Speaking of which..." Lin Ruoyu pouted slightly, thinking about the plot.

"Don't you guys all like having a female senior or mentor? It's very attractive, isn't it?"

Lin Ruoyu's mind conjured up Hua Lingyou's face, her stunning figure, and her sexy attire. With her transformed mental abilities, almost everything about her was imprinted in her mind.

"Well..." Tang Ming stared at the other person's nose, then raised his gaze slightly to meet their eyes. He immediately began to think about the reason for the other person's question.
