The Villain's Mother

034

Young children would still yearn for the outside world, but the neighbouring area around the Song family's small villa didn't have many children playing outside. And so, during summer break, Little Woo didn't really have anyone to play with in the area near his parents' home.

That's one of the reasons why he liked to visit his grandparents. His grandparents lived in a neighbourhood that had been built a few years ago. Since the homes here were cost-effective, there were many people living here. In addition, because the two-child policy had been implemented, it was easy to find children his age to play with right outside his grandparents' apartment.

Father Ruan and Mother Ruan would always carefully watch him. After a child in their neighbourhood had gotten lost, they became even more careful. Wherever Little Woo went, they would follow after him. They definitely wouldn't let their grandson wander off and leave their line of sight.

It wasn't too hot today or yesterday. After finishing lunch, Little Woo wanted to go outside to play with his little friends.

"Mom, want to go outside and play together with me??" Little Woo was holding his new toy. He was going to bring it out and show it off to his little buddies. When he was changing from house slippers to sneakers, he turned to look at Ruan Lisa. She was lying on the couch and playing games on her phone.

Ruan Lisa waved her hand. "I'm really tired, so I won't be going. You should go. You have to listen to your grandparents. Don't get into trouble."

The chubby kid felt somewhat disappointed. "Alright then. You have to be good at home too. Listen to dad."

Ruan Lisa: "..."

Still, after Father Ruan and Mother Ruan took their grandson outside to play, she and Song Jungkook left were the only ones left in the apartment.

Ruan Lisa couldn't stand high temperatures. It was the same even after she had transmigrated. During summer, she wanted nothing more than to stay inside an air-conditioned home.

Lying in an air-conditioned room, playing games and browsing Weibo on her phone, and eating watermelon. This is life.

She didn't have any special feelings about being alone with Song Jungkook.

To put it another way, she didn't pay attention to Song Jungkook's existence, and Song Jungkook probably felt the same way about her. Neither person bothered the other. They had a very good mutual understanding.

Once Ruan Lisa had finished browsing on Weibo, she turned on the TV to look for a movie or TV show to watch. After flipping through the channels, she landed on a horror movie.

Getting chills from watching horror movies was simply the best way to relieve the summer heat.

Ruan Lisa felt somewhat excited. She wasn't scared of watching horror movies, but there were very few good horror movies. However, a good horror movie was better than most other genres of movies and TV shows.

She glanced at Song Jungkook. Seeing that he was focused on his tablet, she politely asked, "Do you mind if I watch TV?"

Song Jungkook didn't even look up. "I don't mind."

When she thought about it, it made sense. A person like him shouldn't have a problem blocking out any distractions.

Because of his answer, Ruan Lisa unpaused the movie without worries.

But, before doing that, she closed the curtains, hugged a pillow, moved around on the couch until she settled into the most comfortable sitting position, and turned her full attention to the movie. There was also water next to her and watermelon and snacks on the coffee table.

The ability of horror moves to render a certain mood was first-rate: the ominous background music as well as the voices...

Song Jungkook felt his eyes were getting somewhat tired. Right after looking up from his tablet screen to rest his eyes, he saw the female ghost's terrifying face on the TV screen.

If Ruan Lisa had been paying attention to him, she would notice that Song Jungkook suddenly had shortness of breath.
