Chapter 35

After the opening ceremony, the filming of the entire crew was back on track. The next day, Su He began to pack his luggage and prepare to leave in the evening.

Sheng Jin was called away by the production crew, leaving him with free time. When Su He packed his luggage and went out, he happened to meet Xiao Qingzhuo who was going to the crew to watch the performance. The other party invited him to join, and Su He did not refuse.

This scene was an outdoor scene and was to be filmed in a forest farm halfway up Mount Hewang. Xiao Qingzhuo drove him up the mountain. After arriving at the set, with the approval of the big screenwriter, Su He had no obstacles on the set.

Xiao Qingzhuo did not ask Su He again whether he wanted to join the studio. He just chatted about some interesting things when writing scripts along the way. Su He could feel that he was helping him get familiar with these unfamiliar things. In fact, Su He also felt a little interested when watching the filming. It would be a very romantic thing to see the words written become real scenes.

The two of them went out at noon and stayed until the afternoon.

So when Sheng Jin came back from talking to someone, he couldn't find anyone, and there was no signal on the phone. He looked at the heavy rain outside the window, and a familiar feeling of irritation arose in his heart.

The rain came very suddenly, even the weather forecast did not predict it accurately. In just ten minutes, it turned into a downpour. Assistant Fang received news that the heavy rain affected the filming, and now the crew on the mountain were working overtime to retreat.

Mount Hewang is a semi-developed nature reserve with few man-made roads. The mountain roads are slippery and especially difficult to walk on after rain. Sudden rain like today's may even cause mudslides.

Sheng Jinyu called Cai Xinmei, but there was no signal and the call could not be connected. He guessed that the signal was affected by being on the mountain. After a while, Cai Xinmei sent a WeChat message saying that she had retreated to the hotel and asked Sheng Jinyu not to worry.

Only after he exited the dialog box did he realize that Su He had sent him a WeChat message at noon, but he was busy at the time and didn't see it.

[Su]: The screenwriter invited me to the set! I haven't seen the filming scene yet.

[Su]: I will be back soon and won’t waste any time.

[Su]: Is this okay? (Kitten begs.jpg)

No, isn't this also going?

They have all learned to act first and report later. Sheng Jinyu snorted in anger, but after staring at the emoticon of the short-striped kitten bowing for a while, he suddenly laughed out loud.

He instructed Special Assistant Fang to ask the crew about Su He's situation, and planned to take a shower first and change his clothes that were soaked with moisture from outside. However, Fang Cheng came back in a hurry with a serious look on his face, saying that no one in the crew noticed this person who was not originally on the crew list.

Sheng Jinyu frowned, his expression not looking good: "Where's Xiao Qingzhuo? He doesn't know either? Wasn't he the one who brought the person there?"

"It's raining so heavily now that the signal on the mountain is intermittent. Mr. Xiao said that Mr. Su walked down the mountain with an umbrella half an hour ago, and the signal was cut off before he could find out." Fang Te pushed his glasses up and said.

"They let him come back on his own?" Now even Sheng Jinyu's voice began to turn cold.

Without saying a word, he reached out to Fang Cheng: "Car keys."

Fang Cheng was stunned, but he still did as he was told out of habit. He took out the car keys and handed them over. Before he could ask what he wanted to do, Sheng Jin disappeared from his sight like a gust of wind.

"Master!"

"Call me if he comes back."

Fang Cheng was in a dilemma whether to chase after him or not, so he had to agree. This meant that he was asked to wait for Su He in the hotel. Fang Cheng sighed. It was the first time he saw Sheng Jin so anxious and angry about something.

In the hotel garage, a black car rushed into the heavy rain and slowly moved along the only road up the mountain.

The journey was not fast. Heavy rain kept hitting the car windows and the wipers kept working. Sheng Jin looked out the window, not missing any pedestrians, but he did not see the familiar face.

A few hundred meters into the mountain road, there were vehicles and pedestrians coming down continuously, but there was only one car going up the mountain.

There is almost no place to stop and take shelter from the rain along the way up the mountain. If you go down the mountain, you can only go all the way down to the foot of the mountain.

Sheng Jinyu threw his phone aside, the screen stopped at the dialing page, and more than a dozen unconnected numbers were lying there, all from the same phone number.

He was forced to step on the brakes when a heavy work vehicle passed in front of him. His thumb kept stroking the steering wheel, and his fingers peeled off the edge of the steering wheel leather cover, making a restless sound.

Suddenly, he saw a blurry figure in the rearview mirror. The figure was cut into countless pieces by the winding raindrops, but Sheng Jinyu recognized the blue clothes. He had just seen them when he went out in the morning.

He suddenly changed the direction and chased after the person running in the rain.

Su He was drenched by the heavy rain and couldn't open his eyes. He raised his hands to block the rain and ran forward with his head down. Fortunately, the temperature in the mountains was neither too high nor too low, so he didn't feel anything except a little discomfort when the rain hit his body.

Suddenly, he heard a few short honks from behind him. He thought someone was blocking his way, so he quickly moved to the side of the road. However, the car behind him slowly stopped beside him, and the passenger window slowly lowered.

A familiar deep male voice came out: "Get in the car."

Su He's eyes, which had been narrowed by the rain, suddenly widened. He leaned against the car window and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Get in the car first." Sheng Jinyu ordered without hesitation.

Su He was a little hesitant: "I'm so wet, I'd better not go up. The front should not be far."

Sheng Jinyu stopped talking, frowning and staring at him silently. Although he had no expression on his face, Su He felt his back go cold horribly because of those eyes. He was too familiar with Sheng Jinyu's expression, as it was a sign of his anger.

Su He stopped struggling, but he didn't get into the passenger seat. He opened the rear door and quickly got in.

As soon as he sat down, he sneezed quickly, and the water droplets on the ends of his hair flew everywhere. He looked like he had been fished out of the water, and a layer of fine bumps appeared on his exposed skin.

Sheng Jinyu glanced at him in the rearview mirror. His clothes were wet and stuck to his body, revealing his honey-colored skin. The half-exposed look seemed to make the matter more obvious. Perhaps because he was cold, the two points on his chest made the stone cloth stand out, making them particularly obvious.

With just this one glance, Sheng Jinyu felt as if his sight was about to burn. He turned his eyes away and threw the tissue box on the center console over. In fact, the air conditioner in the car was not turned on, but Sheng Jinyu had just returned to the hotel not long ago, and the air conditioning in the car had not completely dissipated yet.

He simply raised his hand and turned on the air conditioner and heater.

Su He took out a tissue and carefully wiped off the water on his body bit by bit. He didn't dare to move his butt. After all, he was like a sponge that was full of water. Wherever he sat, a puddle of water would gather.

"Where is your umbrella?" Sheng Jinyu asked.

He remembered Fang Cheng saying that Su He went down the mountain holding an umbrella.

Su He squeezed the water out of his hair and said obediently, "When we were going down the mountain, we met a couple with a child. The child was too young to get wet in the rain, so I gave them my umbrella."

He saw Sheng Jin pursed his lips, and the coldness between his brows had not yet dissipated, as if he was really angry. Su He thought to himself that he was screwed. It must be him who acted without authorization and left his post without permission, and caused such a trouble, forcing the leader to drive up the mountain in the heavy rain to look for someone.

No matter how you look at it, this is not what a subordinate should do. Otherwise, it would be better for him to take the initiative to admit his mistake.

"I……"

"With such a large crew, why is no one taking care of you? Xiao Qingzhuo brought you up the mountain, so isn't he responsible for bringing you down? At the very least, you could have called Fang Cheng and asked him to arrange for someone to pick you up. You wouldn't have gotten so wet."

Sheng Jinyu's sudden words interrupted Su He's prepared apology. Su He was stunned and realized that Sheng Jinyu seemed to be angry because he was ignored.

So the reason he was angry was not because he had left his post, but because he was soaked to the skin?

Su He was not sure whether his guess was correct, but he suddenly felt a warmth in his heart, as if the warm wind from the vent blew directly onto his heart, causing a warm shiver.

He explained: "Mr. Xiao originally wanted to take me back, but the crew ran out of cars to transport the actors, and a few girls were not feeling well after being caught in the rain, so I gave up my seat."

"You..." Sheng Jinyu was speechless for a moment. He couldn't say anything, and he couldn't blame Su He's kindness.

But because of this, when he saw the person still sneezing in the rearview mirror, he felt like a fire was burning in his chest again, but it was extinguished by the heavy rain, leaving only boiling black smoke.

Although extremely angry, Sheng Jinyu laughed instead: "You really are a kind person."

Su He instinctively felt that he should not apologize or admit his mistake now. He should thank Sheng Jinyu for his kindness. At this moment, a piece of clothing suddenly flew over from the front row. He raised his hand to catch it and found that it was Sheng Jinyu's coat, and the lining still had his hot body temperature.

"Take off your shirt and wear this." Sheng Jinyu still spoke in a commanding tone.

Su He looked at the casual suit jacket and was at a loss for a moment. The style of the jacket was too big for him, and he only had one piece of clothing on him. If he took off all his clothes and put it on, there would be nothing inside.

Sheng Jinyu glanced at him and saw that he seemed to be hesitant to say something. He wished he could stop the car and help him put on his clothes directly, so that he could save himself the trouble.

But he still said, "The hotel is so air-conditioned, do you want to catch a cold? Button up your clothes, no one will see what you are wearing underneath."

Su He was not a pretentious person, so he did as he was told and started to take off his shirt. Both of them fell silent and the car became quiet. The only sound was the rain accompanied by thunder outside the window.

Soon, the car turned back to the hotel parking lot.

Sheng Jinyu stood there with a sullen face, looking at the figure reflected on the elevator wall. Su He was wearing a jacket that was one size too large. Even with the top button buttoned, the slit of the suit still reached his chest.

Fortunately, Su He is good-looking and has impeccable body proportions, which makes this way of dressing not so strange. In addition, the wet hair on the forehead adds a bit of rare sexiness.

His Adam's apple moved slightly, rolled almost invisibly, and then he looked away again.

Su He pulled at his collar from time to time, and the empty coat let in air from all directions. He couldn't help sneezing again. Sheng Jinyu looked at him, wanting to say something, but didn't open his mouth.

The two people who were talking just now fell silent in this small space.

A moment later, Sheng Jinyu took out the room card and opened the door. Su He's room was a few doors ahead. When they passed by, Sheng Jinyu suddenly called him, "It's raining heavily tonight, leave tomorrow."

Finally, he added indifferently, "Take a shower and have a good rest."

Su He's eyebrows curved. "I see. Thank you for coming to pick me up, Sheng Jinyu."

It was no longer Mr. Sheng, nor was it a compliment like Mr. Sheng. The name Sheng Jinyu sounded so smooth when he called it.

Sheng Jinyu said "hmm" and opened the door and went in.
