murderous intent
"A documentary location scouting." Lin Jingming looked at Xia Zhitang's equipment. "Shooting star trails? I'll show you something cool."
Lin Jingming parked the car and took out an astronomical telescope from the trunk.
"How do you get this thing?" Xia Zhitang watched Lin Jingming skillfully adjusting the equipment and surrounded him curiously.
"It was brought here specifically for photographing the stars." Lin Jingming looked confident. "I'll show you how stunning the starry sky is later."
An hour later, Xia Zhitang had finished taking pictures of the star trails, but Lin Jingming was still debugging the telescope.
"I'll go back to the B&B and get the mosquito repellent first." Xia Zhitang looked at Lin Jingming who was still busy. "Call me when you're done?"
"Found it!" Lin Jingming suddenly jumped up excitedly.
Xia Zhitang moved closer curiously.
"Don't touch my lens." Lin Jingming stretched out his hand to block Xia Zhitang and the astronomical telescope with some concern. "If you move it even a little bit, I have to readjust it."
"Are you really a professional?" Xia Zhitang gave him a skeptical look, but the next second he was shocked by the scene in the viewfinder, "Is this Saturn?"
In the viewing mirror, Saturn was more exquisite than any three-dimensional scene. The striped gradient-colored star and the two rings surrounding it formed an extremely dreamy color that struck the depths of Xia Zhitang's soul.
"It's so dreamy, no special effects can create such a dream." Xia Zhitang excitedly grabbed Lin Jingming's arm.
Lin Jingming said with a smile: "This is the shock from the universe."
Lin Jingming took Xia Zhitang to look at the crescent moon again, checked the time, and put away the telescope.
He bought a pot of highland barley wine from the store and borrowed two wooden wine glasses. He poured a glass for Xia Zhitang and filled his own glass.
The two of them sat side by side under the sky in a rare calm and peaceful state, each taking a chair, looking at the starry sky and sipping the barley wine with the aroma of green grass.
"Where do you live?" Xia Zhitang suddenly asked.
"The room on the second floor, at the very edge." Lin Jingming pointed to the room on the far left of the second floor. "I've been here for three days."
"What a coincidence." Xia Zhitang held the wooden wine glass in both hands, looking at the stars reflected in the wine, "I just arrived yesterday."
"I have an appointment with a herder to film milking tomorrow." Lin Jingming changed the subject. He wouldn't tell Xia Zhitang that he had asked Cheng Shubai to find out her schedule from Gu Zian just to block her. "Want to help?"
"What time?" Xia Zhitang was indeed interested.
"Ten o'clock in the morning." Lin Jingming flipped through the equipment list. "If you come, you can bring multiple mirrorless cameras and a GoPro."
"Have you visited any of them?"
"I'll send you the photos." Lin Jingming sent the photos of the scene to Xia Zhitang, and seeing her serious face, he teased her, "Why do you treat this as a project? It's just for fun."
Xia Zhitang ignored him and picked up the bottle of wine on the ground and poured it for both of them.
Lin Jingming looked at her face, which was slightly red from drinking, and asked the question that had been weighing on his mind for a long time: "The reason you resigned was..."
"My dad is in the hospital with liver cancer." Xia Zhitang looked up at the sky so close to him, and said sarcastically in a vague voice, "You still want me to be your confidante even though you're wearing a wedding ring?"
Lin Jingming grabbed Xia Zhitang's wrist and looked at her intently: "If I had..."
The barley wine in Xia Zhitang's cup swayed and spilled out, soaking her fingertips.
Without waiting for an answer, Lin Jingming unconsciously tightened his grip on Xia Zhitang's wrist, leaving a red mark.
"You will still choose the Su family's investment." Xia Zhitang frowned and pried his hand apart, "Just like I would choose dignity."
Lin Jingming pulled her shoulders and said, "What about now? Is there a chance now?"
Xia Zhitang dropped his wine glass to the ground. He grabbed his collar and sneered, "A man who touched my waist without even taking off his wedding ring, is he worthy of a chance?"
Lin Jingming suddenly picked up the person and carried him towards the B&B.
Xia Zhitang struggled and punched him in the chest: "Put me down!"
"Don't move." Lin Jingming walked into the B&B without stopping, holding her in his arms under the boss's ambiguous gaze. "The night before the contract was terminated, you were drunk, and I held you like this too."
"What are you doing?" Xia Zhitang grabbed Lin Jingming's collar, wondering where to bite him.
"You want to bite me again?" Lin Jingming looked at Xia Zhitang's gnashing teeth and said self-deprecatingly, "I didn't touch you that night, and I won't do that now."
He held Xia Zhitang in his arms, took out the room card from his pocket with difficulty, swiped it to open his room, and gently put the person on the bed.
Xia Zhitang stood up to leave, but Lin Jingming stuffed a stack of scripts into his arms.
"The script for the sequel to "Blue Luan Jie" has been written, but we're short of a producer." Lin Jingming pulled a stool over and blocked the door, as if he wasn't going to let Xia Zhitang go unless she agreed.
"Looking for Cheng Shubai."
“He only knows how to count money.”
"Looking for Gu Zian."
"He is the designated male lead."
Xia Zhitang threw the script at him, but Lin Jingming took the script without changing his expression, opened it and began to read.
"In the spring of the third year of Qing'an, the Green Emperor died..."
"Stop, let me read it myself." Xia Zhitang snatched the script from his hand, sat cross-legged on the bed and started reading.
Lin Jingming sat calmly at the door, took out a cigarette, thought for a moment, and put it back.
Half an hour later, Xia Zhitang closed the script and asked, "When will the filming start?"
"I've made an appointment with Gu Zian for December."
"Okay, I agree." Xia Zhitang put the script back on Lin Jingming's desk. "Can you move aside now? I need to sleep, otherwise you can go shoot by yourself tomorrow."
"Okay, come down for breakfast at 8:30 tomorrow and set off at 9:00." Lin Jingming pulled the stool away to make room.
Xia Zhitang couldn't help but roll his eyes at him.
Lin Jingming suddenly grabbed Xia Zhitang's wrist and said, "You haven't said goodnight yet."
"You don't deserve it." Xia Zhitang threw his hand away and rushed out without looking back.
Lin Jingming looked at the door that closed with a bang and smiled inexplicably.
Sunlight streamed down on a yak with long black hair. A herder wearing gold earrings sat in front of the yak's belly, expertly milking it with both hands. Waves of milky white milk fell into a wooden bucket as the herder's movements progressed, the slowly rising milk emitting a rich aroma.
The yak, which had long been accustomed to this, was eating grass leisurely. Green grass spread out behind it. In the distance were mountains that transitioned from cold brown to snow-white, and the sky was blue and clear.
Xia Zhitang pressed the camera to frame the picturesque scenery.
"Take another set of photos of the yak's golden eyes in the sunlight, and the herder's focused profile so that you can see the glittering golden earrings." Lin Jingming appeared silently behind Xia Zhitang, leaning over to look at the monitor, his warm breath spraying on her ear. "And the nimble hands when milking the cows. I'll give you a warm side light."
Xia Zhitang elbowed back: "Please maintain social distance."
Lin Jingming clutched his stomach in pain and muttered, "The real murderer."
It was almost 12 noon when all the shots were taken. The sun was scorching, so Xia Zhitang applied several layers of sunscreen spray and pulled his sun protection jacket up high.
"Do you want to experience milking?" Lin Jingming excitedly communicated with the herders.
"Hurry, hurry, I picked a docile one for you." He waved at Xia Zhitang excitedly.
"Why should I go?" Xia Zhitang, who was sitting in the shade to cool off, shook his head and waved his hands.
"What are you afraid of? Come on." Lin Jingming pulled Xia Zhitang up and dragged him to the yak without hesitation. "What a wild and interesting place!"
"Let go, I won't go." Xia Zhitang struggled.
"Are you scared?" Lin Jingming stopped and stared at her with narrowed eyes.
"No!" Xia Zhitang retorted reflexively.
"Come on then, it's just a docile yak." Lin Jingming slowly lowered his head and approached Xia Zhitang, "It's not a lush green vegetable worm..."
Xia Zhitang angrily pushed Lin Jingming away and sat next to the yak. He stared at the pink milk and felt a little scared.
Lin Jingming caught up with her, smiled, grabbed her hand, and pushed it under the cow's belly. "Hold it like you're holding a camera head, with your thumb and index finger firmly in place."
The warm and soft touch of the palm of her hand startled Xia Zhitang so much that she shuddered and almost screamed.
"Don't be afraid, it's not a bug." Lin Jingming took advantage of the situation to put his arms around Xia Zhitang, held her hand and helped her squeeze.
"It's hot!" Xia Zhitang struggled subconsciously, and the female yak in pain also struggled.
"Relax..." Before Lin Jingming could finish his words, warm milk was splashed on his face.
Xia Zhitang couldn't help but burst out laughing because milk had blurred his glasses and nose.
"Hahaha, you deserve it." Xia Zhitang laughed louder and louder.
Lin Jingming took off his glasses and wiped his face. He wiped his glasses with the hem of his clothes with a serious face and put them back on. Then he squinted his eyes and looked at Xia Zhitang who was still smiling.
"Is it funny?" Lin Jingming reached out and pinched the back of her neck.
Xia Zhitang's hair stood on end, and he jumped back and ran away like flying.
"Why are you running?" Lin Jingming chased after him.
Xia Zhitang caught a glimpse of the dry cow dung on the ground that the herdsmen hadn't had time to clean up, and suddenly rushed over to pick it up and threw it at Lin Jingming: "You'll see how funny I am!"
Lin Jingming dodged quickly, and the cow dung brushed against his clothes and fell to the ground, emitting a grassy smell.
"Wow, you're really capable." Lin Jingming, not willing to be outdone, picked up the dry cow dung on the ground and threw it over.
"Stingy!" Xia Zhitang screamed and dodged.
The two chased and played in the green grass, and their laughter and screams reached the dirt road not far away.
The two people chasing each other did not notice that a gray jeep had been parked on the side of the road. Inside this gray jeep, a common family car in Tibet, was Lin Jingming's ex-wife, Su Wen.
After the reluctant divorce, she had been secretly following Lin Jingming for two months. Today, she finally got the "evidence" that he was the "bad guy" who inexplicably changed his mind!
The moment she saw that woman, she felt a subtle sense of fate that this was how it should have been.
It was this woman who was once like an ant that caused the destruction of her family, made her lose her powerful protection, and it was also this woman who "destroyed" her marriage that should have been happy.
At this moment, many details that she had previously ignored suddenly connected together like lightning. It seemed that ever since she joined the crew of "Love Chaos", Lao Lin had become more and more perfunctory towards her.
What’s hateful is that this woman first “seduced” Cheng Shubai and then “climbed up” Gu Zian. Old Lin clearly saw Gu Zian kissing her openly, but she was still so shameless!
Why?
Why?
Why!
Su Wen watched their increasingly "intimate" actions, and her heart rate continued to soar.
The oxygen in the plateau seemed increasingly thinner, and she found it increasingly difficult to breathe. With trembling hands, she dug an oxygen tank out of the car and pressed it against her face, the turmoil in her heart only grew louder and louder.
Before she stepped on the accelerator, she had only one thought in her mind: kill her!
