Liu Rulan walked to the roadside and saw Xiao He looking at his phone, so she casually asked, "How is it? Has Shu Han replied yet?"
"Yes, we've already had a brief interaction, and the comments section has been fairly friendly."
"That's fine then."
Xiao He looked up, put away his phone, and glanced at the film set: "Are you getting ready to shoot the next scene?"
"Um."
Liu Rulan reminded him, "Today it's a motorcycle, not as safe as a fully encased racing bike. Be careful when you ride, don't drive too recklessly. You're not alone today. If you scare the actresses, I'll have to make you apologize with a thorn on your back."
Today's filming was relatively relaxed, consisting of Shu Yuxiu riding a motorcycle with Qi Xinyue on the back, touring the island's scenery.
After the thrilling racing shoot, Liu Rulan was worried that Xiao He would get wild, so she drove the actress at breakneck speed.
That's truly terrifying.
Xiao He reluctantly promised, "Don't worry, Sister Liu, I'm not that kind of person."
Even if he were a great driver now, he would never be so rude as to drive a relatively unknown actress at high speed down the main road.
He still has basic manners, doesn't he?
"Yes, I was just reminding you."
“However—” Xiao He looked at Liu Rulan expectantly, “Sister Liu, could you ask the crew if I could ride my bike around a few times after filming is over?”
Liu Rulan had already seen through everything: "I asked, as long as you ride the bike back later, it's fine—but be careful with this bike, it's also Director Zhuang's bike, I'm not sure about the brand, but his bikes are definitely very expensive."
Even a minor scratch can lead to an astronomical bill.
Xiao He clutched his chest, once again stunned by the money: "Okay, stop now, I already know."
Soon, the crew began filming.
As the setting sun gradually dipped below the horizon, it bathed the entire island in a golden glow, while the vast twilight spilled across the sea, giving the waves a touch of orange-red firelight.
In the video, Shu Yuxiu rides his bicycle slowly, carrying Qi Xinyue, chasing the afterglow of the setting sun at a leisurely pace.
Qi Xinyue gazed at the radiant light on the horizon, her eyes filled with fascination and admiration, like a girl in love, lingering over the scenery before her: "That place is so beautiful."
Shu Yuxiu's gaze remained fixed on the road ahead, his eyes only on the direction they were about to travel. His voice, however, was exceptionally gentle, with a hint of tenderness in it: "Yes, if you're interested, I can bring you here again next time."
"Really?"
Qi Xinyue leaned against the man's back, trying to hear his heartbeat through his clothes, but the noise from the motorcycle made it impossible for her to discern the frequency of his heartbeat or whether it was hers.
But Qi Xinyue couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips: "Okay, I'll remember that."
...The afterglow of the setting sun, the sea breeze through the forest, handsome men and beautiful women—everything was as beautiful as a painting.
Unfortunately, who would have known that this was actually a crime story of emotional fraud? This love, like a bubble, vanished like the setting sun, ultimately leading them down a path of darkness...
-
After all the scenes and locations were filmed, Xiao He couldn't wait to ride away.
However, he hadn't forgotten Ding Wanyu sitting in the back, so he waited for her to get off the car safely.
"Thanks."
Ding Wanyu tidied her hair, which had been messed up by the wind, and then asked curiously, "Xiao Xiao, did you learn these skills before, or did you specifically learn them before filming this time?"
Filming has been underway for two weeks, and during this time the focus has been on the "love story" between Shu Yuxiu and Qi Xinyue. So they've been riding bikes together, skydiving together, and even diving together...
Whenever the crew thought Xiao He didn't have a certain skill, he was always able to complete his filming tasks with great ease.
Even Ding Wanyu has had several stunt doubles replaced. After all, skydiving and diving are relatively dangerous sports, and she really didn't have any relevant experience. So, the stunt doubles prepared in advance by the crew were basically used to film these scenes with Xiao He.
Especially during the skydiving segment, Xiao He and Ding Wanyu filmed most of their scenes in a simulated area, and then Xiao He hugged the male stunt double and jumped three times from a high altitude.
Ding Wanyu was genuinely surprised, and at the same time, she admired Xiao He's dedication.
Upon hearing Ding Wanyu's question, Xiao He replied conservatively, "Some of them I already knew, and some I did study specifically for a period of time."
"You're amazing." Ding Wanyu clutched her chest, somewhat impressed.
Young people learn things so quickly.
While Ding Wanyu was still marveling at Xiao He's talent, Xiao He had already gotten back on his motorcycle, greeted the rest of the crew, and headed back onto the forest road.
Others assumed Xiao He was exhausted and overworked lately, having to work with both professional actresses and stunt doubles, repeating the same scenes over and over again. However, they were unaware that Xiao He had been enjoying a completely free and fun-filled vacation!
This was so awesome, guys! We got to experience all the sports we rarely get to do in a year at once, it was amazing!
As expected of a resort catering to the wealthy, if Xiao He were rich and had the time, he would definitely be willing to stay here for a period of time every year just for these entertainment activities.
The life of the rich is truly joyful.
Embracing the cool night breeze, Xiao He couldn't resist letting loose, shouting a few times through his helmet before accelerating.
With the wind whistling in his ears and the scenery rushing past on both sides, Xiao He leaned down, the motorcycle moving so fast it almost left a blur.
But just then, he vaguely heard the sound of a car engine behind him.
Xiao He glanced at it and saw that it was an unfamiliar blue Ferrari sports car.
For safety's sake, he gradually reduced his speed.
"Hey! Xiao He!"
The Ferrari behind also slowed down, revealing a somewhat familiar foreign face.
It was Ou De'en, who had competed against Xiao He last time.
"Wasn't this guy sent back?"
Xiao He muttered to himself. Although he didn't really want to interact with this person he wasn't very familiar with while he was in such a good mood, he still slowed down and pulled over to the side of the road.
He then took off his helmet.
"Didn't you already leave the island?" Xiao He asked.
If he remembered correctly, after Liu Rulan complained to Xu Fuxue, this guy was given a good scolding by Xu Fuxue and then "invited" off the island by the film crew.
“Hehe, actually I’m also one of the tourists on this island.” O’Dean chuckled and scratched his head. “I went back to the club a while ago and only came back to the island today.”
"oh."
Xiao He remained silent for a moment, his gaze falling on the limited-edition luxury sports car, and he sighed inwardly.
Another rich person.
He forcibly looked away and casually asked, "So, what do you want from me?"
"I apologize to you first; my attitude towards you wasn't very good before."
O'Deen said solemnly to Xiao He.
"Hmm, it's okay, I don't mind."
Xiao He shook his head.
O'Dean breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Xiao He expectantly: "Then—could you give me a ride around? My car will do."
Xiao He looked at Ou De'en suspiciously: "What? What do you want now?"
At this point, O'Dean, a grown man, actually started to act coy: "Uh, hehe... it's just that I feel like you didn't unleash your full potential in the previous matches, so... I want to see where your limits are—"
Xiao He found it somewhat amusing. He had originally intended to refuse outright, but upon looking at ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) the sleek, stunningly beautiful limited-edition sports car, he subtly swallowed.
But to be honest, this car is fucking cool.
"Yes, that works too!"
By the time Xiao He realized he had accidentally blurted out his true feelings, it was too late. Ou De'en cheered and pushed Xiao He into the car: "Go go go!"
Xiao He: ...This dead mouth, how did it go off so fast!
However, once he got in the car and stepped on the gas, only one thing came to Xiao He's mind—
When he has money, he'll buy this too!
Cool!
