☆, Chapter 134: Mianmian
The person who prepared the rope was the props team leader, a young boy. This was his first time encountering such a mistake, and he was a little overwhelmed. "We bought standard outdoor-grade ropes. I don't know why it broke. How about I contact the manufacturer?"
"Forget it, it's just a small matter. There's no need to make such a fuss. Sister Jasmine and I are fine. If the manufacturer comes, the media will probably write nonsense again." Lu Yuxuan stepped forward to smooth things over.
The image she gave to the outside world was always pure and gentle. Even when she was in a bad mood after coming to the show, she did not show it. Everyone had a good impression of her and thought she was easy to talk to.
"Forget it. We still have to complete the mission. Let it go this time and it won't happen again." Chen Jie didn't want to make a big deal out of it.
"Moli, Yuxuan, I'm sorry to have frightened you. Do you want to take a break before continuing recording?" Chen Ning asked considerately.
"We are fine, just continue recording. There is no need to take a break and waste everyone's time." Lu Yuxuan smiled gently.
He looks like he's thinking about everyone.
Wen Mianyu looked at her thoughtfully and nodded in agreement.
"Okay, then let's go to our next destination, picking fruit on the mountain." Liu Jie clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention. "This time, the props team should make good arrangements so that there won't be any problems with the props again."
"Okay!" All members of the props team responded in unison, and then went to check the props.
Lu Congxu took Wen Mianyu's hand and checked it again, "Is your hand hurt?"
"No, the hemp rope was wrapped with cloth, I wasn't hurt." Wen Mianyu smiled at him and made a naughty face.
Due to an accident, the two of them forgot about the camera for a moment, and this heartwarming scene was captured by the photographer.
…
The subsequent filming went smoothly, probably because all the members of the program crew were very serious, and the safety measures in all aspects were improved.
The guests completed their tasks very smoothly. With Wen Mianyu and Luo Zhifan, two good farm hands, everyone completed all the tasks involving farm work very well.
The three-day and two-night filming ended quickly. The last recording of the program was at noon. In the morning, after everyone had Liu Jie's last breakfast, they wrote postcards to say goodbye to their leisurely vacation.
Lu Congxu came here alone by car. He came from the crew and went back directly to the crew.
Wen Mianyu is going back to City A.
When they parted, both of them felt reluctant to leave and stood in front of the car, saying goodbye tenderly.
"Have a good rest at home when you go back. Don't run around unless necessary. Wait for me to come back to see you." Lu Congxu took Wen Mianyu's hand and held it tightly.
Wen Mianyu looked around and saw that no one was taking pictures, so she leaned into his arms and said, "I know. I won't run around unless it's necessary for work."
Lu Congxu put his arm around her waist and tightened his grip.
Wen Mianyu raised her head and gave him a light kiss on the side.
"Okay, Cheng An is waiting for you, get in the car quickly." Wen Mianyu, who was kissing her husband secretly, felt a little embarrassed. After kissing him, she pushed Lu Congxu away and urged him to get in the car.
Even though Lu Congxu was reluctant, he still had his wits about him and slowly loosened his grip on her hand. "You go first, I'll get in the car later."
"Are you going to watch me go?" Wen Mianyu laughed.
"Well, I'll watch you go." Lu Congxu said.
Wen Mianyu was helpless and couldn't argue with him. If they continued to argue, you would take me and I would take you, and we would still not be able to get on the bus until dark.
Wen Mianyu said nothing more and turned to get into his business car.
"Mr. Lu, don't worry, I will take good care of Jasmine." Zhang Ye assured Lu Congxu outside the car window, and then started the car.
Wen Mianyu rolled down the car window and waved goodbye.
Lu Congxu smiled back, waved, and watched the car slowly drive away.
It was not until Wen Mianyu's car drove far away and out of sight that Lu Congxu withdrew his gaze and turned around to get in the car.
"Brother Congxu." Lu Yuxuan's voice came from behind.
Lu Congxu paused, turned around, and asked, "What's the matter?"
"I...I have something to tell you." Lu Yuxuan put her hands behind her back, twisting them nervously, and looked at him eagerly.
"Okay, get in the car." Lu Congxu called.
Lu Yuxuan was a little surprised. She had thought that after what happened in the past two days, Lu Congxu had something against her, and even if he agreed to talk to her, he would not let her get in the car.
Unexpectedly, Lu Congxu was still as gentle as before. Does this prove that she is not so insignificant in Lu Congxu's heart?
Lu Yuxuan couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips. She got into the car after Lu Congxu, and her gloomy mood became much brighter.
"Cheng An, go buy me two bottles of drinks." After closing the car door, Lu Congxu instructed Cheng An who was sitting in the front driver's seat.
Cheng An was puzzled. Lu Congxu never liked to drink beverages, so he asked, "Brother Lu, what would you like to drink?"
"Anything is fine. Just see what's available at the nearby stores and buy whatever you want." Lu Congxu replied.
There are no big supermarkets in the small mountain village, only small shops that sell limited items, only the most common ones.
Lu Congxu said whatever he said was fine, so Cheng An didn't ask any more questions and got out of the car with his phone.
"Brother Congxu." Lu Yuxuan looked at Lu Congxu flattered.
She didn't expect that Lu Congxu would ask Cheng An to go out and talk to him alone.
In her opinion, the fact that Lu Congxu was willing to invite her into the car was already a pleasant surprise.
"I knew you weren't that heartless. You still have me in your heart, right?" Lu Yuxuan moved forward, getting closer to Lu Congxu.
Lu Congxu reached out to stop her from going any further. "You may have misunderstood. I asked Cheng An to leave because it was inconvenient for us to talk with him around. I didn't mean anything else."
“…” Lu Yuxuan.
"What I have to say is not suitable for outsiders to hear. Cheng An is just my assistant and has a quick temper. I don't want him to hear it." Lu Congxu explained his behavior again, "I think you have to save face after all. For your uncle's sake, I will also leave you with dignity."
Lu Yuxuan listened to his words blankly, her heart sinking little by little. She felt flattered and self-righteous, which made her feel ashamed.
"You can say whatever you want to say." Lu Congxu didn't want to stay with her any longer and went straight to the point.
Lu Yuxuan looked at him as if she didn't recognize him, with a sad expression on her face. "Brother Congxu, you've changed. You wouldn't have spoken to me like this before. Is it because of Su Moli? Because she said something bad about me?"
"Mianmian never speaks ill of others. Even if she does, she does it openly. She's different from you." Lu Congxu looked at Lu Yuxuan with a cold expression, without a trace of warmth. "You have such thoughts. I don't know if it's because you feel guilty about something you said, or if it's because you look at others from your own perspective, which makes you feel that others want to harm you."
"Mianmian, you're calling me that so affectionately." Lu Yuxuan laughed in anger, no longer pretending to be harmless. "I thought you were some infatuated person who insisted on Wen Mianyu, but now you can call Su Moli another name. Does Su Moli really not care? Or does she not dare to care about these things?"
"If this is all you want to say, we can end this conversation." Lu Congxu had no intention of explaining Wen Mianyu's identity to her. He just found her words ridiculous.
"She's only after your wealth and has no feelings for you at all. Brother Congxu, I'm the only one who truly loves you. Can't you feel it?" Lu Yuxuan choked up. "I love you. I've always loved you. Before, when I knew you had someone in your life, I didn't dare express my feelings. I was afraid you'd stay away from me! But now, Queen Wen is gone. Why are you still refusing to love me?"
"What's so good about Su Moli? Just because she looks a little like Queen Wen? If she really loves you, how could she allow you to use her as a substitute? Only if she doesn't have any feelings for you would she not care about these things!" Lu Yuxuan's voice got louder and louder, almost hysterical.
Lu Congxu looked at her, but his heart was not moved at all. "You are the one who doesn't understand. I have never regarded Mianmian as a substitute. She has always been the one in my heart."
"What about Wen Mianyu? What's the point of being the movie queen Wen?" Lu Yuxuan refused to let him go.
"There's no need for me to explain this to you." Lu Congxu turned his head away and ignored her.
"Brother Congxu." Lu Yuxuan leaned over and pulled his sleeve.
Lu Congxu immediately pulled it out, "Yuxuan, don't be like this. I don't want others to misunderstand anything. I agreed to talk to you today because I have questions to ask you. If you have asked all your questions, then I will ask them."
"What do you want to ask me?" Lu Yuxuan asked with a glimmer of hope.
"Did you cut the rope during the tug-of-war game?" Lu Congxu turned back and stared at her.
"I..." Lu Yuxuan choked and couldn't organize her words for a moment.
Lu Congxu didn't need to ask the next question. Just by looking at her expression and the momentary hesitation, he was sure of it.
He shook his head in great disappointment. "There's nothing more to say. Get out of the car."
"Brother Congxu, I didn't do it. I didn't do it, seriously!" Lu Yuxuan was anxious and reached out to pull him again.
Lu Congxu ruthlessly avoided her and said to her seriously, "Actually, the evidence is already obvious. I just didn't want to believe you would do such a thing, and I didn't want to wrongly accuse you, so I asked you. Now I understand everything and have my own judgment. You don't need to say anything more."
"Brother Congxu." Lu Yuxuan refused to give up and held on to the fabric of the seat tightly, refusing to leave.
Lu Congxu had already opened the car door and silently ordered them to leave.
"Brother Congxu, are you really going to be so heartless?" Lu Yuxuan was about to cry, her tears were about to fall, but they gathered in her eyes, making her look very pitiful.
Lu Congxu, however, would not compromise because of this. "Regardless of whether I'm heartless or not, you should understand me. I won't allow anyone to hurt the person I like, and I don't have any feelings for you other than family. I haven't noticed your feelings until now, and it's my negligence. Now that we've come to this, I'll make it clear: I don't like you."
"Even without Mianmian, even without anyone else, I still wouldn't like you."
"I used to treat you as my cousin, but from now on, we're just strangers." Lu Congxu spoke every word seriously.
"Stranger, what a stranger..." Lu Yuxuan laughed abnormally, savoring those words, and got out of the car in a daze.
Although Lu Congxu no longer had any feelings for her, he did not really ignore her because she was a girl. Instead, he sent a message to Lu Yuxuan's assistant, asking him to pick her up.
Lu Congxu watched Lu Yuxuan walk away. Cheng An just happened to come back with a drink and was about to give it to him. "Brother Lu, the store only has Coke with a relatively new date, so I bought that..."
"You can send Yuxuan off and come back after her assistant comes." Lu Congxu interrupted him and took the drink.
"Ah..." Cheng An responded, and it took him two seconds to react. He quickly turned around and chased after Lu Yuxuan.
Lu Congxu finally felt relieved and closed the car door.
The WeChat ringtone on his phone rang. Lu Congxu opened it and saw that it was a message from Wen Mianyu.
Mian Mian: Why aren't you leaving yet? Are you so reluctant to leave me?
Lu Congxu was stunned for a moment, turned his head and looked out the car window, but did not see Wen Mianyu's shadow.
Wen Mianyu's car was not nearby either.
Lu Congxu replied with a voice message, "How do you know I haven't left yet?"
"Cheng An said that. Zhang Ye was chatting with him just now, and he said you haven't set off yet." Wen Mianyu also sent a voice message back.
Lu Congxu glanced out of the car window and saw Cheng An had returned to the road not far away, lined with trees. He was walking while holding his cell phone, apparently chatting.
Maybe he should still talk to Zhang Ye.
Lu Congxu picked up his phone and replied, "I was delayed by something and will be leaving soon."
"Tell Cheng An to drive slowly and have a safe trip." Wen Mianyu replied.
"You too, have a safe trip." Lu Congxu replied.
…
In the car moving on the other side, Wen Mianyu sat in the back seat, listening to the voice call on the phone with a smile on her face, feeling very sweet.
Lu Kuang was very good, so Zhang Ye didn't need to stare too closely. He accidentally saw her smile and couldn't help but say, "After Jasmine fell in love, she felt different from before."
"Really?" Wen Mianyu touched her cheeks, which were a little hot. They must be red now, and she looked shy.
The word "shy" is really rare for her. As an actor, she is naturally thick-skinned and not stage-frightened. She can remain calm in any embarrassing situation. But after falling in love with Lu Congxu, she does feel embarrassed at every turn.
Wen Mianyu coughed lightly and put down the phone as if nothing had happened. However, the sudden ringing of the phone the next second betrayed her, and Wen Mianyu hurriedly picked up the phone again.
"Why are you calling?" Wen Mianyu asked sweetly, unable to hide her smile.
"Hello, Miss Su, I'm the deputy manager of CA's advertising department." A formal man's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Wen Mianyu originally thought it was Lu Congxu, as her tone was sticky when she answered the phone.
Now that she had recognized the wrong person, she felt extremely embarrassed. Her voice immediately returned to normal, "I remember, it's Manager Liu from CA, right? What can I do for you?"
"It's like this. We've communicated with the scenic spot and can move the shooting time forward to tonight. Do you have time to come over?" the other party asked apologetically in a very gentle tone.
"I know we've changed the time at the last minute, so it might not be convenient for you. However, there's a large light show tonight, which will be very useful for filming. So if it's possible for you, I hope you could take the trouble to come over as soon as possible, okay?"
"Oh, sure." Wen Mianyu agreed without thinking too much.
