Chapter 44 His Waist

Leng Feng: Calling Fengsui and Boss Qiansha, we have some clues about the identities of the people who attacked you. Chief Instructor Lu said they were mercenaries who infiltrated from abroad.

Dragonblade: What's going on? I just came down from the high ground, and I'm out of the loop.

Venomous Fang: Someone has their eye on the boss, and they suspect it's a foreign force!

Leng Feng: It's definitely related to that Lu Jinye, but it'll be soon. Once the boss's mission is over and he's no longer a bodyguard, he can stay far away from him!

Stay far away?

Can she really dodge it...?

"Nini, what does your boyfriend do? I just heard you guys mention customs? Is he from the General Administration of Customs?"

After watching Song Yanfeng's car leave, assistant Xiao Wu tugged at Wen Ni's sleeve and asked curiously.

"Boyfriend? He's not me..."

"Director's announcement! Everyone, get ready, prepare to film!"

The sound of staff members speaking through loudspeakers could be heard from inside the venue.

"Oh dear, they're about to start filming again! Let's hurry inside! Nini!"

Assistant Xiao Wu had already put the question from his mind.

"Um."

Wen Ni casually agreed, but when she turned around, Lu Jinye had already disappeared.

Today's scene mainly features Chen Yingying and Lu Jinye as partners, with some intimate and ambiguous moments.

Since Chen Yingying was frightened by the shooting incident, she has been hospitalized. This time, she returned to the set temporarily to keep up with the schedule because of her scenes.

However... she doesn't seem to have fully recovered?

She had lost a lot of weight, her face was pale, her cheeks had an unnatural flush, and she was coughing incessantly!

"Chen Yingying, are you really physically fit? Are you able to do the filming?"

Director Song noticed that she wasn't in a good state and couldn't help but ask her with concern before filming officially began.

"I'm fine, director!"

Chen Yingying coughed a few times, then looked at Lu Jinye with deep affection, "I've always been looking forward to having scenes with Brother Lu. I can't let the director and Brother Lu down!"

"That's right! Our Yingying had a low-grade fever but still rushed over for this scene. After filming, she has to go back to the hospital for an IV drip!" Chen Yingying's assistant said with a look of satisfaction. "Our Yingying is just so dedicated and responsible!"

After saying that, the assistant picked up her phone and recorded a short video of the sickly Chen Yingying, which she then posted online!

The caption was something like: "Even when you're sick, you're still working. Keep going and keep pushing!"

Chen Yingying covered her mouth and smiled shyly.

Whether she's dedicated or not, I don't know, but she's certainly quite pretentious.

Standing to one side, Wen Ni crossed her arms and stared at Chen Yingying.

This is not only irresponsible towards her own health, but she may also infect her colleagues, causing them to get sick and affecting their filming schedule.

If it were just a common cold, that would be fine, but judging from her appearance, she seems to be quite ill!

"I'll order some cold medicine for Master Lu and send it over. He can take some as a precaution!" Assistant Xiao Wu muttered. "I heard this wave of flu is quite severe."

"Alright."

"Actors, take your positions!" With a few abrupt announcements from the loudspeaker, filming officially began.

Chen Yingying, dressed in a brown-black cheongsam, stood facing Lu Jinye.

Cold rain fell heavily from the sky.

Her face was full of pain and indignation, and her hands trembled as she tightly gripped Lu Jinye's clothes, looking pitiful and delicate!

"Lian Song, if I had known earlier that what you were going to do was so dangerous, I would never have let you leave me! But it's not too late now, I'll take you abroad to avoid this!"

"Even if I die, I will never be a slave to a conquered nation."

Lu Jinye's cold words were even more chilling than rain!

He turned to leave, but Chen Yingying hugged him tightly around the waist, pleading with him not to go!

"Isn't this a war drama? Why are they adding all this mushy romance?"

Wen Ni didn't want to watch, so she picked up an orange instead.

“This is called a love story of iron will and tenderness, a love amidst the chaos of war,” Assistant Xiao Wu said, clenching his hands tightly with longing in his eyes.

Wen Ni squeezed the orange so hard that her fingers poked a hole in the flesh!

"Human life is at stake, and the nation is on the brink of collapse. How can we have time to talk about love?"

"I can tell you don't have much dating experience. Did your time in the army make you stupid?" Assistant Xiao Wu actually looked down on her. "Love has nothing to do with time, environment, or background. It just comes when it comes, catching you completely off guard!"

Unfortunately, these two words never existed in Wen Ni's twenty-one years of life.

"Um... oranges."

Qin Yuan, who had been standing nearby listening to their conversation, couldn't help but speak up, trying to stop Wen Ni from destroying the orange!

"Do you want to eat?"

Unexpectedly, Wen Ni generously stuffed the rotten orange into Qin Yuan's hand.

Drip, drip, it's still dripping with orange juice!

Qin Yuan:…………

"Sorry, director~ I wasn't quite right in terms of emotion just now." Under the camera's lens, Chen Yingying secretly glanced at Lu Jinye and gave a shy smile.

"How about we wait until you've recovered a bit before filming? The scene isn't particularly urgent." Director Song frowned, offering a gentle suggestion.

"It's okay, director! I'm already here, so we'll wrap up once we've finished filming today!"

"...Alright then, try your best to adjust your state."

"good."

Chen Yingying had to do countless takes.

Even the assistant, Xiao Wu, stood up with his hands on his hips, somewhat annoyed. "Is she doing this on purpose? Hugging our Master Lu's waist over and over again, isn't that enough?"

"That waist is really easy to hug."

Wen Ni peeled oranges until her hands ached, and she was slightly distracted as she stared at Lu Jinye's waistline.

Broad shoulders, narrow waist, smooth and delicate skin, firm and toned abs...

Tsk

What is she thinking?

Wen Ni shook her head vigorously, then peeled open another orange with great effort. She didn't eat it, but instead stuffed it directly into Qin Yuan's hand.

Qin Yuan, with tears in her eyes, ate oranges until her face turned yellow!

What sins did he commit in his past life to deserve such 'torture'?

"Great! Perfect! This shot is fantastic!"

After 38 takes, Chen Yingying finally passed.

"Thank you, Brother Lu, for rehearsing with me so many times!"

Chen Yingying still had her arms around Lu Jinye's waist, her face pressed against his back, and she could hardly hide the joy on her lips!

"let go."

His cold, deep voice revealed his deep displeasure!

Startled, Chen Yingying froze and quickly let go of his hand.

Then look at Lu Jinye, he immediately took off the costume jacket that Chen Yingying had touched again and again and threw it to the stage manager!

He was wearing only a thin gray shirt and black trousers!

His hair was soaked by the rain, lying flat on his full forehead, and wet droplets slid down his high nose.

The shirt collar was closed, revealing her collarbone, which was red from the cold...

It's so... tempting!

Such excellent body proportions, coupled with a strong sense of atmosphere, made everyone present unable to take their eyes off her!

Chen Yingying, standing behind him, realized his blatant disgust and clenched her hands in shame and anger, her eyes welling up with tears!

"Nini, could you please take this coat to Master Lu for me?"

Assistant Xiao Wu suddenly handed Wen Ni a black belted coat, saying, "I need to talk to the director about something. Qin Yuan, come with me."

Qin Yuan: "Huh?"

"What do you mean 'huh'? Let's go!" Xiao Wu grabbed Qin Yuan.

Wen Ni was still staring at the coat in her hand when Lu Jinye walked up to her.
