memorable
Qiao Yu watched the video again; he really was watching her.
Her ears slowly turned red, she turned off the screen, and silently raised her gaze upwards.
Ling Chuan also kept his eyes down as he ate, unaware of her strange gaze.
Qiao Yu's heart was pounding.
"You can get so red just looking at your phone?" Ling Chuan swallowed a mouthful of rice before slowly lifting his eyelids.
Qiao Yu was stunned for a moment, then stammered, "Where...where?"
Ling Chuan smiled knowingly, narrowing his eyes as he looked at her: "Still not admitting it? Anyone who didn't know better would think you were watching some kind of porn."
Qiao Yu was about to explode. How could he dare to say that? He hurriedly denied it: "No, don't talk nonsense."
"Then why are you blushing?"
Qiao Yu stammered and lowered her head, moving her chopsticks but unable to pick up a single grain of rice for a long time.
Ling Chuan added teasingly, "Could it be... that you're blushing because you're looking at me?"
Qiao Yu looked up abruptly and continued to deny it: "No way, don't be so narcissistic."
Ling Chuan smiled, lowered his dark eyes, and casually added, "It's nothing to see me blush; I know it's fine."
Qiao Yu: "..."
After a long silence, Qiao suddenly spoke, her voice puffed out: "Your unforgettable moments, sunrise... sunset..."
When he uttered the last word, his voice was as weak as a mosquito's buzz.
Lingchuan could hear every word clearly.
He put down his chopsticks and looked calmly at the person in front of him who was about to bury his head in the bowl.
"look up."
Qiao Yu awkwardly raised her eyelids slightly, regretting that she hadn't asked.
Then I heard his magnetic voice calm and collected reply: "Sunset is a farewell, yet we look forward to sunrise, like a reunion."
......
After dinner, Qiao Yu volunteered to clean up, but Ling Chuan took over the task as well, saying, "You have a dishwasher, I'll clean up. You go find a movie to watch."
Qiao Yu had no choice but to return to the living room, turn on the projector, and find that her favorite movies were all movies she had watched. The one she had watched the most was his; he was a true actor with real talent.
Now that the real person is right in front of her, Qiao Yu still chose "Code 7," an action film that Ling Chuan also released two years ago, which grossed over 10 billion worldwide in just three months.
He also won the title of Best Actor at the Golden Horse Awards, making him the first person in Asia to achieve this.
The story follows a top assassin known as "Code Name 7," who discovers he's nothing more than a killing machine controlled by the mysterious organization "Snake Shadow." To cover up their secrets, the organization launches a global manhunt for him.
On the run, he rescued a female scientist who possessed core secrets of the organization, and the two supported each other through gunfire. From Southeast Asian slums to Arctic ice bases, Code Name 7, with his superior combat skills and exceptional intelligence, broke through enemy lines time and time again.
As the truth gradually comes to light, he must confront the organization's ultimate conspiracy and make a fateful choice between destroying the dark forces and redeeming himself.
As the movie began, Ling Chuan walked into the living room. He looked up and saw colorful paper airplanes gently swaying on the ceiling.
It also stirred up a ripple in his long-dormant heart.
When the familiar music started playing, Ling Chuan snapped out of his daze, his forehead twitching suddenly, and asked, "What do you think of this?"
Qiao Yu nestled on the sofa, glanced back and smiled, "Sit down, let's watch together."
Qiao Yu may seem aloof and innocent, but deep down she loves watching action movies, especially thrillers and suspense films.
Ling Chuan pursed his lips and remained silent, sitting down beside her.
It was already dark outside, with only the dim light from the streetlights downstairs illuminating a corner of the living room.
Qiao Yu also turned off the living room lights, leaving only one light on in the entryway.
Everything seemed magnified in the dim environment. The sounds from the movie were a bit noisy, especially since all he could hear and see was himself. Ling Chuan frowned and rubbed his temples.
Qiao Yu nestled on the sofa, watching intently.
When Qiao Yu saw 7 meet the female scientist Lisa, who had injured her waist, and 7 took out his medical kit to stitch up her wound, Qiao Yu raised her eyebrows slightly.
Every time she saw this, she was amazed by Ling Chuanye's movements, which were truly professional.
In the next frame, 7 helps Lisa hide in the old warehouse area...
Ling Chuan coughed, covering his mouth, which pulled Qiao Yu back to reality. He asked, "How about we change to another one?"
He had just seen Qiao Yu raise her eyebrows, and there would be some lifting and touching movements later, so he didn't want her to keep watching.
Qiao Yu looked at him in confusion: "Why? The photos are very good."
Ling Chuan also noticed a certain word and asked, "You've seen it?"
"Of course, I've watched them several times..."
"......"
Ling Chuan fell silent, leaning lazily against the sofa, his hand casually resting behind Qiao Yu, his fingertips tapping involuntarily.
Until Qiao Yu saw 7 and Lisa successfully escape the slum and head to the Arctic, Lisa's micro-expressions towards 7 gradually changed, revealing both admiration and love.
I remember when it was first released, everyone was discussing how 7 and Lisa went through thick and thin together and supported each other. In the end, everyone hoped that the two could get together.
The original story and the plot are largely similar, but the ending is unexpected; the two only have a simple hug before they run away and part ways.
Lisa's embrace was filled with tears and reluctance.
The embrace of number 7 doesn't contain romantic love; it represents the friendship forged through shared hardships, or perhaps it's a farewell gesture.
Thinking of this, Qiao Yu turned around and unexpectedly bumped into Ling Chuanye's gaze, which was deep and unfathomable.
The two looked at each other in the dim light.
Qiao Yu stiffened, unsure how long Ling Chuan had been watching her. She pursed her lips and hesitated for a long while before asking him, "Why are there no romantic scenes in this movie?"
Ling Chuan tilted his head, his dark eyes deep, as if asking her why she asked such a question.
Qiao Yu: "Back then, everyone was really looking forward to the two characters getting together in the drama. I heard that's how it was in the original novel too, so how come the adaptation turned out like this..."
Ling Chuan paused for a moment, staring intently into her eyes, "Because... I don't film romantic scenes."
"Huh?...Why?"
Qiao Yu thought about it and realized that Ling Chuan had only acted in action and suspense films in the past few years, and there were no romance films or serious romantic storylines in his works.
"Because...it might require getting into character, which I never do; it might also involve kissing...or even more..."
Qiao Yu understood his concerns somewhat. Just like her, she was also unwilling to accept kissing scenes. Although actors have to accept trying all kinds of performances, they seemed to have the same consensus on a certain point.
Qiao Yu said "Oh," didn't ask any more questions, and turned back to continue watching the movie.
On the contrary, Ling Chuanye, watching Qiao Yu's back, swallowed his words several times before finally speaking.
A few minutes later, Ling Chuan straightened up slightly, moved closer to Qiao Yu, and said, "Why don't you continue asking me...?"
Hearing this, Qiao Yu turned around again, "What are you asking?"
Suddenly everything went black, and she nearly bumped into Ling Chuanye's nose. Qiao Yu quickly leaned back, but the man reached out and pulled her back.
She hadn't expected him to be so close to her; her eyelashes were still trembling.
Ling Chuan withdrew his hand, and slightly opened his mouth, "Well..."
As if something was difficult to say, he muttered a curse under his breath, "Shit!"
Qiao Yu frowned: "Hmm?"
"I wasn't talking about you, I was talking about myself."
"...So what exactly do you want to say? If you don't tell me, I'm not listening anymore."
“Qiao Qiao…”
His eyelashes fluttered slightly, and his dark eyes shimmered with the faint light from the projection, and with her.
One second, two seconds later, Ling Chuan's lips twitched, and he said, suppressing his breath, "My first kiss... I've always kept it..."
I've kept it all this time...
Qiao Yu felt a buzzing in her head, and her thoughts came to a standstill for a moment.
What does he mean? He's been saving his first kiss for...who?
?
Then he spoke again.
He leaned forward, one hand on the edge of the sofa beside him, his face losing its previous seriousness, and a cryptic smile appeared on his lips.
"Should I...give it to you?"
......
In the dim light, Qiao Yu's eyes widened in surprise, and her breath caught in her throat for a moment.
First kiss...
Should we...?
For you...
Her mind was a complete blank. After stammering for a long time, she finally managed to utter, "You..."
Suddenly, her vision blurred and then brightened. In an instant, she saw his face clearly again. He was smiling gently yet freely, his lips slightly parted.
After a second of stunned silence, Qiao Yu's cheeks flushed bright red. What had happened?
It felt as if a warm, soft touch brushed against my lips, a fleeting moment lasting only 0.1 seconds.
Qiao Yu belatedly realized what was happening, biting her lower lip tightly, her forehead slightly furrowed, and said coquettishly, "Ling Chuan too..."
He smiled, pursing his lips, and moved even closer.
He loomed larger before her, his handsome face radiating a tender smile: "Do you know what this is?"
Qiao Yu pursed her lips, her eyelashes fluttering, and stammered, "First...kiss..."
"wrong."
"?"
He pulled her wrist, which was hanging in front of her, and gently rubbed and kneaded it.
Qiao Yu lowered her eyes. His hands were large, holding her slender wrist, which tickled her a little. Thinking of the scene just now, she blushed and pulled her hand away, but Ling Chuan reached out and pulled her back again, playing with her in his palm.
She looked up in confusion, and he leaned slightly closer to her ear. His hot breath filled her earlobe, and she heard his deep, magnetic voice: "That was just a kiss, not a kiss."
"......."
Qiao Yu was startled, and her pupils suddenly dilated.
"Give me a kiss."
"ah?"
Suddenly, she felt a strong pull on her wrist; he had gently tugged at her wrist.
His lips covered hers again, and this time it didn't stop abruptly; she could truly feel the warmth of his lips.
My heart started racing, and I didn't know whether to open or close my eyes; I felt lost and panicked.
Qiao Yu's fluttering eyes were etched into his gaze. Ling Chuan also moved away slightly, a smile playing on his lips. His warm breath, carrying the sweet scent of mint, blew out, and he gently stroked the back of her head: "Qiao Qiao, close your eyes."
A warm, large hand suddenly rested on her waist, pulling them closer once more.
This time, he didn't just touch her lightly, but explored step by step, slowly prying open her teeth and gently kissing her.
The moment her lips were pried open, she was greeted by his soft warmth, and Qiao Yu's hands unconsciously tightened around his clothes.
The scalding heat gradually enveloped her.
This was a kiss brimming with tenderness and affection.
......
-
The second episode of "Back to Nature 2" was filmed in Xiaoxi Village, Nan'an.
The guests all flew to the provincial capital, then took the high-speed rail, and then a 3-hour bus ride to get here.
In the afternoon, the rice leaves, illuminated by the sunlight, shimmered with a golden halo around their edges, their green color becoming even more lush and layered, creating a scene resembling a green ocean.
On one side of the rice paddies, earthen-walled villages lie quietly amidst the greenery.
The earthen walls, weathered by time, bear mottled cracks that trace the lines of history. A few bougainvillea branches peek out from the top of the wall, their bright red blossoms drooping and casting dappled shadows on the earthen surface.
The low houses are scattered in a pleasing manner, separated by several narrow and smooth pebble paths. In the distance, the barking of dogs can be heard, and wisps of smoke rise from the cracks in the earthen walls, adding a touch of warmth and life to the village.
The suitcases lay askew to one side, accompanied by the eight people standing in the square: "..."
The director immediately smiled and took over: "Good afternoon, eight guests. This is the filming location for the second episode of 'Back to Nature 2' - Xiaoxi Village."
Designated as a first-class protected site by the state, although the buildings show signs of age, they still have all the necessary facilities inside.
The production team all saw the shoulders of the staff slump, as if they had breathed a sigh of relief.
"Now, please welcome our two new guests, Su Su and Gu Qing."
The two greeted everyone warmly.
When Qiao Yu arrived at the meeting point after leaving the high-speed rail station, she found out that Gu Qing had also come and was looking at her with hostility.
Su Su is a rising star in idol dramas. She became an instant hit after just a few web dramas and is now a popular young actress.
After everyone introduced themselves, they remained standing next to their respective suitcases, and then it was the director's turn.
"Everyone must be tired from coming all this way. Today, our room selection game is very simple: spin the wheel. Each person gets one chance, and whichever number they land on determines their room number."
Everyone frowned involuntarily when they saw the large turntable that the staff brought up.
The wheel has numbers 1 to 4, with two sets of each number.
Gu Qing: "Why are there two numbers in each group? And they're sharing a room?"
Gu Qing was surprised when she finished speaking, then turned her head to look in the direction where Ling Chuan was, and secretly pursed her lips.
Director: "Here's how it is. Each set of numbers represents a family, and we've arranged two separate rooms for each family. So, if you're assigned to the same set of numbers, you'll be lucky enough to become roommates."
The first two to transfer out will form a team; if there are duplicates, they will be passed on to the last person to transfer out.
The eight people took turns going up to spin the wheel.
Gu Qing was the first to move directly to room 2, Lin Yi moved to room 1, Su Su moved to room 1, and Qiao Yu moved to room 3. With that, the first round was decided.
In the second round, the direction shifts south to number 4, while Jiangwang shifts to number 2.
Gu Qing was almost in tears. Why did Jiang Wang end up transferring to her room? She was still waiting for Ling Chuan to become her roommate too. With the dust settled, Gu Qing stomped her feet and stormed off in a huff.
Finally, only Qin Xiao and Ling Chuanye remained. The two looked at each other, and Qin Xiao raised his hand and turned away, his lips curving upwards involuntarily. If he turned to Qiao Yu, he would surely be stared at by Ling Chuanye until he had a hole in his eye.
The turntable slowly came to a stop; number 1 had no turn.
Ling Chuan lazily raised his hand and switched to number 2, once again missing his turn.
Qin Xiao spun around again, and it was definitely number 3.
My first reaction was to look at Ling Chuanye's expression, and sure enough, his eyes looked like he wanted to devour him.
Lingchuan could only be assigned to room number four.
After the house selection was completed, everyone followed the staff to their respective rooms.
Rooms 3 and 4 were separated by only one wall. Seeing this, Lingchuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At the gate of the courtyard, Qiao Yu pursed her lips and glanced awkwardly at Ling Chuanye before stepping inside.
Qin Xiao, who was following behind, rubbed his forehead and shook his head. Was he the only one who noticed that something was wrong between the two of them?
That's too much to ask of him.
And now I have to live here and be a third wheel!
