☆, Chapter 62 Combat Power
"Don't worry, Brother Congxu." Wen Mianyu patted his chest, pushed with both hands, and climbed up the tree trunk with both feet.
She was agile and climbed up in a few steps. She chose a thick branch, swung her arms to flip over it, and stepped firmly on the horizontal branch with her feet.
"Good!" That move was so amazing that several staff members below cheered.
Lu Congxu also smiled, and the ice and snow on his frosty face began to melt, revealing a gentle and nostalgic warmth.
"Mr. Lu, look at me!" Wen Mianyu waved at him from the tree.
Lu Congxu's eyes never left her. Hearing this, he raised the corner of his lips and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Look at this, does it look like a steel pipe?" Wen Mianyu asked, pointing at the tree trunk.
The slanted branch she was standing on formed a 90-degree angle with the trunk, which made the trunk next to her appear straighter and taller. It could be considered a steel pipe, although it was a bit thick.
Lu Congxu thought of something and his eyes paused.
The next second, Wen Mianyu was seen holding the tree trunk and bending down, then twisting her waist and swimming around the tree trunk like a water snake.
Many staff members were amused and said she danced well and asked her to do another one.
Lu Congxu pressed his thin lips into a straight line and warned, "Don't move. The tree trunks are slippery due to the heavy dew in the morning. If you can't hold on firmly, you'll fall."
"It's okay." Wen Mianyu smiled indifferently and wanted to be naughty again.
Lu Congxu lowered his voice, "You said you would be honest."
With just one sentence, all of Wen Mianyu's movements were frozen.
Thinking of the man's angry look before, Wen Mianyu calmed down and said, "I was wrong, I won't make trouble anymore..."
"Hold the tree trunk firmly." Lu Congxu reminded.
"Okay." Wen Mianyu hugged the tree trunk with both hands.
Lu Congxu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s not that he is overly nervous, it’s just that Wen Mianyu has a history of this.
In the first year that Lu Congxu came to the island, it was the green plum season and Wen Mianyu dragged him up the mountain to pick plums.
Wen Mianyu had teased him like she was doing now, standing on a tree branch and dancing the bear dance for him. However, she fell off the tree because the branch was still wet with dew, and her ankle was swollen. Lu Congxu had no choice but to carry her back home.
Before that, his interactions with Wen Mianyu were limited to going to and from school together and sitting across from each other by the window.
After that, Wen Mianyu was bored at home recuperating from her foot injury, so she often went to his house. Within a month, they became so familiar with each other that she could just lie on his bed in the bedroom and eat his snacks.
From then on, this freshness that broke into his life made it difficult for him to let go.
…
"Youth, one scene at a time, action!"
Wen Mianyu sat on a tree branch, her two slender legs dangling in the air.
The camera moved from bottom to top, from the canvas sandals on her feet to her sweaty neck.
Wen Mianyu raised her hand and plucked a plum from the tree. She wiped it with her skirt, took a bite, and looked at Lu Congxu under the tree. "Brother, aren't you coming up?"
Lu Congxu shook the burlap off his hand, looked up at her, and said, "No need. I'm picking up plums under the tree. Be careful not to fall."
Wen Mianyu watched him spread a piece of linen as big as a single bed on the ground and blinked, "Brother, you've been so busy these past two days. I thought you wouldn't come today, so I only brought a basket."
"I've been practicing acting these past two days." Lu Congxu said.
"Just practicing?" Wen Mianyu asked in confusion, "You came back so late last night."
"Yesterday..." Lu Congxu hesitated for a moment, his expression a little uncertain, and finally said, "Uncle Duan introduced me to a girl and took me out to dinner last night."
Although they were brother and sister, Wen Yuxian was already quite old when they were adopted, so they always called Duan's father uncle.
Wen Mianyu rolled his eyes again, suddenly realized something, screamed, and fell down from the tree.
"A Xiu!" Lu Congxu wanted to pounce on her but it was too late and he watched her fall to the ground.
…
"Cut!" Director Lin stood up from behind the monitor.
Several staff members came forward to check on Wen Mianyu's condition. Lu Congxu was one step faster than them and helped her up from the cushion.
The mat under the tree was very thick, so Wen Mianyu was not injured. After getting up and stretching around, he made an OK gesture to Director Lin, indicating that he could start the next shot.
…
A scene of youth, two shots.
Lu Congxu helped Wen Mianyu up from the ground, checked his injuries, and carried him down the mountain.
Wen Mianyu lay on his back, feeling a little uncomfortable when she thought about the unfinished topic.
The two grew up together as childhood sweethearts and treated each other like brother and sister for many years. She thought that she was the person closest to her brother and even tacitly agreed that they would continue like this forever.
But something seemed to suddenly break her delusion.
"Brother, girl...do you mean a blind date?" Wen Mianyu asked cautiously.
"Yeah." Lu Congxu's voice was low and emotionless. "Uncle Duan thinks I'm old enough to find a girl to start a family with."
"Why do you have to get married when you reach a certain age? Do you think so too?" Wen Mianyu frowned.
Lu Congxu shook his head, turned his head slightly to look at her, and said softly, "I don't think so."
However, the war had just ended, warlords were fighting each other, and natural disasters and man-made disasters were constant. It was common for children to be born at the age of fourteen or fifteen. People generally married early, fearing that they would leave because of various accidents before they had the chance to start a family.
"Uncle Duan is doing this for my own good." Lu Congxu didn't know how to explain, so he just said this in the end.
"So you won't refuse? You've forgotten our agreement, haven't you?" Wen Mianyu bit her lower lip in anger, "You liar!"
"I haven't forgotten." Lu Congxu couldn't pull his hand away to touch her. He turned his head and looked at her with gentle eyes, "I remember everything."
"Then what is our agreement?" Wen Mianyu asked stubbornly.
"I've always been good to you." Lu Congxu said seriously.
"We have to stay together forever." Wen Mianyu emphasized.
"Yeah." Lu Congxu nodded.
"I will always be with my brother. We don't need other girls. We are a family." Wen Mianyu tightened her arms and hugged him tightly, rubbing his face gently.
The girl's skin was warm and smooth, and her hair was soft. Lu Congxu closed his eyes and couldn't help but gently touch her ear.
A kiss that was barely there.
"Cut!" Director Lin was very satisfied. "Very good, the emotions are spot on."
…
The filming on the mountain went very smoothly throughout the day, and we even finished an hour early.
Seeing that it was still early, Wen Mianyu was not in a hurry to go down the mountain. He planned to pick some wild vegetables before going back.
Luo Zhifan was very excited after hearing this and said, "I'll accompany you, Sister Jasmine. Let's pick some more to make dinner."
"Not only us, but also Mr. Lu. He went to remove his makeup and will be here soon." Wen Mianyu said.
"Okay, it will be faster if three people pick the fruits. Should I prepare some tools?" Luo Zhifan asked humbly.
Wen Mianyu was just about to say that a fruit knife would be enough when she saw Chen Zui coming from not far away.
Chen Zui glanced at Luo Zhifan and said in a bad tone, "What's so good about wild vegetables? They taste weird and unpalatable. Be careful, she might pick some golden spear grass for you."
"..." Wen Mianyu.
The young master is really getting stronger and stronger with each setback and his fighting ability is quite strong!
If it were before, she could instantly find a hundred words to say to Chenzui, either making him furious or making him blush.
However, Wen Mianyu had just promised Lu Congxu to be honest, so he didn't dare to act rashly. His eloquence was nowhere to be used, so he could only turn around and walk away in silence.
