iu Rulan walked to the roadside and saw Xiao He looking at his phone, so she casually asked, "How's it going? Has Shu Han replied?"
"Yes, we've already had a brief interaction. The comments in the comment section are all quite friendly."
"That's good then."
Xiao He looked up, put away his phone, and turned his gaze toward the filming location over there. "Are we preparing to shoot the next scene?"
"Yes."
Liu Rulan reminded him, "Today involves motorcycles, which aren't as safe as fully enclosed race cars. Be careful when riding later, don't drive too wildly. You're not alone today—if you scare the actress, I'll have no choice but to make you go apologize properly."
Today's filming was relatively relaxed—just Shu Yuxiu riding a motorcycle with Qi Xinyue to tour the island scenery.
After experiencing that thrilling race car filming session before, Liu Rulan was now very worried that Xiao He might get carried away and take the actress on a high-speed joyride.
That would truly scare someone to death.
Xiao He promised helplessly, "Don't worry, Sister Liu, I'm not that kind of person."
Even with his current driving skills, he wouldn't be so lacking in manners as to speed down the road with a female actor he wasn't very familiar with.
He still had that basic decency!
"Alright, I was just reminding you."
"But—" Xiao He looked at Liu Rulan with an expectant expression, "Sister Liu, could you ask the production team if I can ride the bike around for a few laps after filming is done?"
Liu Rulan had already seen through everything: "I've already asked. As long as you ride the bike back afterward—but be careful with this bike. It's also Director Zhuang's car. I'm not sure about the brand, but his cars are definitely very expensive."
A single scratch could lead to astronomical repair bills.
Xiao He covered his chest, once again intimidated by money: "Okay, stop right there, I already understand."
Soon, the production team began filming.
The sunset outside the island gradually descended, illuminating the entire island like golden foil. The vast twilight spilled over the sea surface, making the waves appear tinged with orange-red flames.
Under the camera lens, Shu Yuxiu rode the motorcycle, leisurely carrying Qi Xinyue as they unhurriedly chased the afterglow of the setting sun.
Qi Xinyue gazed at the radiant colors on the horizon, her eyes filled with fascination and admiration, like a girl falling in love, completely captivated by the scenery before her: "It's really beautiful over there."
Shu Yuxiu's gaze, however, remained firmly fixed on the road ahead, his eyes only on the direction they were heading. Yet his voice was exceptionally gentle, carrying a hint of lingering affection and laughter: "Yes, if you're interested, I can bring you here again next time."
"Really?"
Qi Xinyue leaned against the man's back, trying to hear his heartbeat through his clothes. Unfortunately, the motorcycle was filled with noise, making it impossible for her to discern whether the rhythm of his heartbeat was because of her.
Still, Qi Xinyue couldn't help but curl up the corners of her lips: "Okay, then I'll remember that."
...The sunset glow, the forest breeze, the handsome man and beautiful woman—everything was as picturesque as a painting.
Yet who would have known that this was actually a crime story about emotional fraud? This love was like a bubble, just like the disappearing sunset on the horizon, ultimately destined to guide them into darkness...
After all the plot scenes and location shots were completed, Xiao He couldn't wait to ride the motorcycle and leave.
But he hadn't forgotten about Ding Wanyu sitting behind him, waiting for her to safely dismount first.
"Thank you."
Ding Wanyu smoothed her hair that had been tousled by the wind, then asked curiously, "Xiao Xiao, did you learn these skills before, or did you specifically study them before this filming?"
Two weeks into filming, this period had mainly focused on Shu Yuxiu and Qi Xinyue's "love line," so they had ridden motorcycles together, gone skydiving together, and even scuba diving together...
Whenever the production team thought Xiao He wouldn't have a particular skill, Xiao He could always calmly complete his filming tasks.
Even Ding Wanyu had already changed several stunt doubles. After all, skydiving and scuba diving were relatively dangerous sports, and she genuinely had no relevant experience, so for these scenes where she needed to coordinate with Xiao He for filming, they basically used stunt doubles prepared in advance by the production team.
Especially during the skydiving segment—Xiao He first filmed most of the scenes with Ding Wanyu in the simulated location, then jumped from high altitudes three times while holding the male stunt double.
Ding Wanyu was truly surprised and also quite impressed by Xiao He's professionalism.
Hearing Ding Wanyu's question, Xiao He conservatively replied, "Some I knew before, some I did specifically study for a period of time."
"You're really amazing." Ding Wanyu placed a hand on her chest, feeling quite touched.
Young people really learn things quickly.
While Ding Wanyu was still marveling at Xiao He's talent, Xiao He had already gotten back on the motorcycle, greeted the rest of the production team, and rode off toward the forest road again.
—Others thought Xiao He had been working very hard during this period, having to work with both the main actress and stunt doubles, repeating scenes over and over. However, they didn't know that Xiao He had essentially been enjoying himself at public expense, having the time of his life!
This was truly awesome, brothers! Sports he normally never got to experience, all tried out in one go—so satisfying!
This resort catering to wealthy people was indeed impressive. If it were just for these entertainment activities, Xiao He felt that if he had money and free time, he'd definitely be willing to come stay for a period each year.
The lives of rich people were truly joyful.
Welcoming the cool night breeze, Xiao He couldn't help but let himself go, shouting loudly a few times through his helmet, then began to accelerate.
With the whistling wind in his ears and the scenery rapidly receding on both sides, Xiao He leaned forward, the motorcycle moving so fast it almost left afterimages.
But just at that moment, he faintly heard the sound of a car engine behind him.
Xiao He glanced back and saw an unfamiliar blue Ferrari sports car.
For safety reasons, he gradually reduced his speed.
"Hey! Xiao He!"
The Ferrari behind also slowed down, revealing a somewhat familiar foreign face.
It was O'Deen, who had raced against Xiao He before.
"Wasn't this guy sent away?"
Xiao He muttered to himself. Although he wasn't very keen on interacting with this not-so-familiar person while in such a good mood, he still slowed down and pulled over to the side.
Then he took off his helmet.
"Weren't you already off the island?" Xiao He asked.
If he remembered correctly, after Liu Rulan complained to Xu Fuxue before, this guy had been properly lectured by Xu Fuxue and then "asked" to leave the island by the production team.
"Hehe, actually I'm also one of the tourists on this island." O'Deen smiled and scratched his head. "I went back to my club for a while first, and just returned to the island today."
"Oh."
Xiao He fell silent for a moment, his gaze falling on the limited edition luxury sports car, sighing inwardly.
Another rich person.
He forcibly shifted his gaze away and casually asked, "So what did you want to see me for?"
"First, I want to apologize. My attitude toward you before wasn't very good."
O'Deen said to Xiao He seriously.
"Well, it's fine, I don't mind."
Xiao He shook his head.
O'Deen breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Xiao He expectantly: "Then—could I ask you to take me for a ride? We can use my car."
Xiao He looked at O'Deen suspiciously: "What? What are you trying to do now?"
At this, O'Deen, a grown man, actually started acting bashful: "Uh, hehe... it's just that I feel like you didn't use your full ability during the race before, so... I wanted to see what your limits are—"
Xiao He found it somewhat amusing. He originally intended to refuse directly, but looking at that sleek, beautifully designed limited edition sports car, he subtly swallowed.
But honestly speaking, this car was really damn handsome.
"W-well, that could work too—"
By the time Xiao He realized he had accidentally spoken his mind, it was too late. O'Deen cheered and pushed Xiao He into the car: "Go go go!"
Xiao He: ...This damn mouth, why did it slip out so quickly!
"You're really amazing." O'Deen placed a hand on his chest, feeling quite touched.
When he had money, he was going to buy one of these too!
So satisfying!
