He Sui Chen did not spend the night in the century-old house. When it got dark, he personally sent her back to the hotel safely.
After the car stopped in the underground garage, the driver and the secretary tacitly stayed away. The car windows were dim and light was not allowed in. Gu Qingwu sat in the back seat with a restless heart, and no one was in a hurry to get out of the car.
After a while, she finally gave in and tugged at the man's cold sleeves with her fingertips: "I'll go upstairs."
Before she could move out, her wrist was pulled back by He Suichen. Compared to the swing in the courtyard, the bathroom in the old house... The closed and narrow space in the car made it impossible for her to hide. Her dark eyes stared directly at the outline of his handsome face, trying to see it clearly. Her red lips moved, but in the end she just called out softly: "Brother."
Strangely enough, she would only call him when she was extremely upset, like she did at Nanming Temple.
He Suichen approached her as if he was going to kiss her, but he kept a half-inch distance from her. His voice seemed to come from deep in his throat: "You've been pretending to be mute all this time, and now you're finally talking to me?"
Gu Qingwu couldn't play dumb anymore. She turned her face away to avoid the warmth of his breath and didn't even dare to breathe hard.
Until she heard the man whisper in her ear: "Can you stay overnight?"
These few words revealed the man's thoughts clearly, and they were able to clear Gu Qingwu's confused mind. His back was already pressed against the chair and he could not move. He could only shake his head and say, "Too fast."
Even if it was a normal relationship between a man and a woman, there should be a gradual process. But he wanted to overtake her in just one day. It really made her feel absurd and unreal.
He Sui Chen caught the nervous fluttering of her eyelashes, the amplitude was very small, and he watched patiently for a long time before he said half-seriously, "I'm just kidding you, I'll be staying upstairs in the same hotel with you tonight."
Gu Qingwu could no longer tell which of his words were false. With accusations in her dark eyes, she murmured softly, "Do you want me to have trouble sleeping tonight?"
He Suichen smiled: "Who will be more sleepless tonight?"
Gu Qingwu has grown up, and except for the infatuation with the young He Sui Chen when she first fell in love, her experience with emotions between men and women is like a pale sheet of paper. Doesn't she know that after that layer of ambiguity is broken, men will be so clingy when getting along with women
Anyway, she had completely lost the ability to resist He Suichen, and couldn't dodge him even if she wanted to. Even with her usually cold personality, she could only talk softly and negotiate: "Let me out of the car first... Your driver and secretary will definitely find it weird if I stay in the car all the time, right?"
He Suichen smiled again, his warm breath all sprinkled on her lips, but he restrained himself from kissing her: "I can let you get off the car, but you have to leave something for me."
Gu Qingwu didn't understand what he said at first, until the man's slender and powerful fingers stopped near her waist and slightly fumbled for the hidden zipper of the skirt, completely removing the disguise of a gentleman, and hinting at what she wanted.
…
Twenty minutes later.
Gu Qingwu took the elevator upstairs with a man's dark gray suit jacket draped over her slender shoulders. The buttons were fastened, revealing only the dark blue skirt below her knees. As she walked quickly, her white fingertips grasped the edge of the jacket, still trembling.
When the elevator reached the seventh floor, it paused for two seconds and Shen Xingdu walked in from outside.
He had just returned to the crew's hotel, wearing a black cap and a mask, and no assistant was with him. In the enclosed space, Gu Qingwu pretended not to know him and didn't see him, leaning in the corner in her high heels.
Until you go up one floor at a time and reach the floor you are staying on.
Gu Qingwu was about to go out, but Shen Xingdu's slender fingers pressed the elevator door closing button and slowly closed it.
She turned her head and asked politely, "Are you seriously ill?"
Shen Xingdu slowly put his hands into his trouser pockets, raised his eyelids, glanced at the men's suit on her, and said in a cold and lazy tone: "Gu Qingwu, you don't stay in the crew to film properly, but go out to hang out with wild men."
"It's none of your business."
"My dad invested in this drama, but you, as the leading actress, don't focus on filming." Shen Xingdu found a good excuse, meddling in other matters, and laughed coldly, "I don't want to be dragged down by you."
Gu Qingwu was too lazy to argue with him, so she rolled her eyes and pressed the elevator door open button.
She walked out, and Shen Xingdu still stood there with that lazy and world-weary look on his face, and did not stop her.
Who would have thought that just after returning to the suite and before she could catch her breath, Luo Yuan called her like a life-threatening call: "Miss, can you return to work as usual tomorrow? Shen Xingdu went to complain to Director Yue in person, saying that your leave has delayed the progress of filming."
Gu Qingwu turned on the light, and the expression on her delicate face froze for a few seconds. She couldn't help but curse: "He must be mentally ill."
"Shen Xingdu is the young master of Hengcheng Entertainment. He will legitimately inherit the throne in the future... and this drama is invested by his own father, so the director has to give him face no matter what." Luo Yuan painstakingly analyzed the interests with her, and before he finished, he got to the point: "So if you have nothing to do next, don't run around, so as to avoid being criticized!"
Gu Qingwu nodded lightly. They were all adults and knew what was important and what was not.
After hanging up the phone.
She took off the men's suit and threw it on the armrest of the sofa, then took off her dark blue dress. Under the light, her back looked as delicate as white porcelain, without a single flaw.
Gu Qingwu reached back and untied the white lace bra that was missing a shoulder strap and was dangling. It could no longer be worn, so he threw it lightly into the dark gray suit.
—
The next day, Gu Qingwu returned to the crew for filming as usual. She had several important scenes in the drama "Pingle Legend" where she had to hang on wires. Coincidentally, on the first day of resuming work, the director arranged a scene for her to hang on wires on the city wall.
Gu Qingwu rarely uses a body double when filming, and he completes all the difficult shots himself.
For the city wall scene, the heavy court attire was already inconvenient to wear, and the scene also had to be dropped from a height of about ten meters. As a result, the director was very demanding and filmed this scene over and over again for no less than ten times.
It was evening when there was a fifteen-minute intermission.
Gu Qingwu's hair, which was tied up in a bun, became a little loose. As soon as she landed on the ground, Luo Yuan came over to help her up: "You must be exhausted, take a break."
She exhaled, found a chair to sit down, turned around and saw Shen Xingdu also walked over. He was wearing the black and gold costume of the Regent King, and he looked very leisurely. He tilted his head, raised his eyes slightly and looked at him for a while before looking away: "Yue Zui is famous for his pursuit of perfection. Why do you listen to him?"
Gu Qingwu sat there and drank water slowly. After moistening his throat, he spoke: "Oh, I didn't listen to him... What did you complain about last night?"
Shen Xingdu seemed to be justified in making things difficult for her. He glanced over again and saw that the gold hairpin and silver ornaments on her hair bun were crooked, so he pretended to reach out to fix them.
Gu Qingwu tilted her head and avoided him, looking at him with a strange look.
Shen Xingdu then realized that he had lost his composure. He stopped his slender hands in mid-air and pretended to put them back into his trouser pockets. He coughed heavily and wanted to say something to save his face, but the stagehand in front of him had already raised a loudspeaker and shouted to start shooting.
But Gu Qingwu didn't care about his abnormality at all. After resting, she lifted her skirt and walked over.
Shen Xingdu did not go into the lounge for this wire suspension. He looked up and saw that Gu Qingwu had been suspended ten meters high on the city wall. She was thin and light, and it would be easy for her to get hurt if the operation was not done properly. The staff around her did not dare to slack off.
Shen Xingdu stared at her, and time seemed to stretch very slowly. By the time this segment was finished, more than half an hour had passed.
Gu Qingwu landed safely on the ground, but she had to lie on the ground for five minutes, using up all her energy. Even from a distance, she could be heard calling Luo Yuan to come over.
Shen Xingdu took out his hand from his trouser pocket. His palm was slightly wet. He frowned and made an unclear sound with his thin lips.
The assistant next to him whispered, "Brother Du, what's wrong?"
Shen Xingdu turned around and walked towards the lounge without looking back, leaving a cold and lazy voice behind: "Everyone has worked hard overtime today, go and tell them that I will treat you to a meal."
Gu Qingwu, after removing all the wire ropes from his body, felt like his whole body was falling apart. He said to Luo Yuan, "Do you have any medicine for injuries?"
"The crew has... right? Where is he injured?"
"My waist, thighs, and arms are probably bruised from all the tying."
Luo Yuan felt sorry for her fine porcelain skin, which couldn't stand collisions normally, let alone being suspended on the wire for five hours. She was afraid that she would suffer...
Gu Qingwu insisted on finishing the scene without saying a word. Now that she was completely relaxed and had a breath to catch, she actually asked him, "Did my phone receive any calls today?"
Luo Yuan was also convinced: "What's the point of the phone? Come back to the hotel with me first."
I originally wanted to go to the hospital to make an appointment.
Gu Qingwu thought it was too troublesome. It wasn't like he had broken any bones or legs. Besides, he had been filming for a whole day and couldn't wait to take a hot bath.
In Luo Yuan's words, this person who looks spoiled on the outside, obviously has no strength, and is only supported by his stubbornness in his bones.
She soaked in the bathtub for twenty minutes and climbed out. Her body was covered with bruises of varying sizes, which were horrible to look at. She wrapped herself tightly in a thick, loose bathrobe, stretched, and then slowly walked out of the bathroom.
Outside, Luo Yuan had already asked the crew's assistant director for the ancestral medicine for bruises and injuries, and he personally made a cup of hot brown sugar water and brought it over.
Gu Qingwu's slender body was curled up on the soft couch by the floor-to-ceiling window, she held the drink in her hands and took small sips like a cat, her long black hair hanging loose, making her bright facial features look particularly delicate.
Luo Yuan has been facing her stunning beauty for several years and has long been immune to it.
When he placed the bottle of medicine on the table, he confirmed with her again and again, "Do you really not need me to find a female assistant to help you apply the medicine?"
Gu Qingwu said that she would solve it herself later, and said lightly with red lips: "I don't like people seeing my body naked."
"… "
Luo Yuan chose to keep silent, but after a while he fiddled with the messages on his phone and said, "Shen Xingdu is inviting the crew to dinner tonight. Director Yue and Queen Yi will both go. Are you going?"
Gu Qingwu reached out to take the thick script beside him, pretending not to hear anything.
Luo Yuan knew this meant rejection: "Then I'll reply."
At the same time, many people from the crew gathered in the box, and the scene was very lively.
Only Gu Qingwu didn't come. I don't know who mentioned it, but the assistant director soon stepped forward to explain, "Gu Qingwu was exhausted from hanging on wires all day today, and her body is covered with injuries. Her agent, Brother Yuan, even asked me for medicinal wine. She really couldn't come."
Everyone just asked, after all, they were all used to Gu Qingwu's cold and unsociable style on the crew, and the topic was quickly changed.
Shen Xingdu was playing with his long fingers carelessly, when he suddenly stood up, picked up the coat and black hat on the back of the chair, and greeted Yue Zui: "Director Yue, I remembered that I have something else to do... Have fun tonight, don't save money for me."
Before he left, he asked the waiter to bring a few bottles of good wine, so as not to affect the dinner.
This made Jiang Xuening, the real girlfriend, look unhappy with her delicate makeup, and she clenched the goblet tightly with her fingers.
During the whole process, Shen Xingdu didn't even look at her when he left.
Beside her, Yi Xiaorong said with a smile: "It seems you have to be extra careful with Gu Qingwu."
Jiang Xuening looked over and said in a calm tone, "What do you mean?"
"Master Shen has been sitting here for so long, and he left when he heard that Gu Qingwu was not coming." Yi Xiaorong has been in the entertainment industry for many years, so there is nothing she can't see through. She said in an increasingly friendly tone, "It seems that he invited the entire crew just to invite Gu Qingwu, but he didn't please the beauty."
Jiang Xue Ning almost gritted her teeth: "She just relied on that face to help one big boss after another get to the top, and she still expects to marry into a wealthy family?"
"As a newcomer with little experience and no backing, she can have Shen Yu create a drama with a female lead just for her, and have all the best actors and actresses downgrade their resources to supporting roles. What else is impossible?"
After saying this, Yi Xiaorong was still smiling, and hinted at something: "Do you know why Gu Qingwu never attends parties? Because she may not like these people in the circle at all..."
At around eight o'clock in the evening, after Luo Yuan was sent away, the entire suite seemed deserted.
Gu Qingwu pulled the curtains and sat cross-legged on the sofa, figuring out how to apply the medicine when the clear sound of the doorbell rang.
Almost no one would disturb her in the crew's hotel. Thinking that Luo Yuan had returned again, Gu Qingwu didn't even wear shoes and went to open the door barefoot.
The lights in the corridor were brighter, and He Suichen stood outside as if he had fallen from the sky, wearing a neatly ironed black haute couture suit. It looked like he had just attended some business event and had taken the trouble to come all the way to a remote place like Hengdian.
Seeing Gu Qingwu's surprised expression, he whispered with thin lips, his eyes never moving away: "If you don't invite me in, I'm going to kiss you."
Gu Qingwu's heart trembled violently. He was capable of such hooligan behavior.
I subconsciously gave way, and by the time I reacted a beat late, the wolf had already entered the house.
The accommodation conditions of this hotel are average, the decoration of the suite is very ordinary, and there are thick scripts and used suspender pajamas scattered in the living room, all of which reveal traces of a woman's life.
Just as Gu Qingwu closed the door tightly, fearing that people passing by outside would see her, she could not help but hear the man behind her asking, "Are you hurt?"
She turned around and saw He Sui Chen picked up the bottle of medicine with his slender jade-like fingers and looked at the instructions on it.
"Uh..." Gu Qingwu hesitated, raised her eyelashes to touch his deep eyes, and breathed a little nervously. Seeing that she couldn't hide it, she had to confess in a low voice: "I filmed a scene hanging on wires all afternoon today, and my arm is a little bruised."
"Just the arm?"
"Well, the skin on my waist and back is all congested..."
Gu Qingwu wrapped herself tightly in a large bathrobe, not even revealing her delicate collarbone. From what she said, it was impossible to tell what the real situation was.
After a second or two of silence.
He Suining looked at her and signaled her to lie down on the sofa. His expression was unusually serious, without any intention of joking. But the more serious he was, the more Gu Qingwu was not used to it. Her thick eyelashes trembled a few times because of nervousness, and she pretended to smile: "There is no need to trouble Mr. He to do it himself."
"Green mist."
He Sui Chen turned to look at her, a slow and calm voice came out of his thin lips, and he said logically: "We did something intimate yesterday, I kissed you, and you responded to me... Will this make you feel better?"
Gu Qingwu was speechless. How could they be compared
She froze in place, and He Sui slowly unbuttoned his shirt cuffs with his long fingers. He lowered his voice by two points, as if he was talking to himself, but more like he was saying it intentionally for her to hear: "If I really want to do something to you, you can't stop me at all."
"… "
Gu Qingwu assessed the situation for a moment, then drank up the cold water on the table in one gulp. She left the glass in its original place and chose to sit on the soft couch by the window. She casually pulled up her thick black hair, revealing her snow-white neck. Going down, she was wearing a loose bathrobe.
Maybe it's because it's too serious and doesn't seem like applying medicine.
Especially when He Suichen came behind her, his voice came with a warm breath and he said to her: "Tell me if it hurts."
The pain was no longer a problem for Gu Qingwu. Her thick eyelashes were tightly closed. Even without looking, she could clearly feel his long, cold fingers pulling a small piece of the bathrobe down on her back.
Then, He Suichen asked indifferently, "I didn't call you, but you were patient enough not to contact me... Are you thinking about how to get rid of me?"
Gu Qingwu's attention was distracted. He wanted to respond to this, but suddenly frowned. It was fine before the medicine was applied. The bruises would not hurt if they were not touched. But now it was like being tortured and his skin was burning.
Just as she was about to struggle, she was easily pinned down by He Sui Chen's hand, and her white bathrobe was crumpled into the soft couch.
"Don't move." His eyes were clear, and he still kept the underwear on Gu Qingwu's upper body. His focused gaze was always on the bruises on her snow-white skin. The potion was cold, but her skin gradually became hot rapidly.
The man dipped two slender fingers in the medicine and rubbed them calmly along the bruises of varying sizes. The whole process was very slow and Gu Qingwu didn't know how long it took to finish. The living room began to be filled with the pungent smell of Chinese medicine.
It didn't smell very good. I subconsciously rubbed my nose against the sleeve of his suit and smelled the familiar scent of ebony.
He Suichen noticed her little movements, and after applying the medicine to the entire back, under the light, the bruises looked like rose petals scattered everywhere, forming a fatal temptation with her smooth and delicate skin.
Soon, she was tightly covered by He Sui Chen's suit jacket, which gave her a sense of security.
For a full hour, the man carefully wiped the bruises on her body from head to toe due to wire hanging with medicine.
Gu Qingwu was still wrapped in his suit, with his black hair loose and sweat oozing from his forehead, but his body was gradually becoming comfortable. His dark eyes seemed to contain some emotions as he quietly stared at the handsome man kneeling on one knee in front of the couch.
In this world, not even her biological mother had ever taken care of her to this extent.
He Sui Chen calmly put away the potion, and slowly wiped away the smell with two long fingers using a wet tissue. In an instant, he silently covered her cheek again, following the delicate contours all the way behind her ear, and pressed towards himself with a little force.
Their foreheads touched, their slightly burning breaths close at hand.
Gu Qingwu's heartbeat began to become irregular. When she saw his lips pressing against hers, she couldn't deceive herself and felt a hint of anticipation. Just when they were about to touch hers, the doorbell rang inappropriately in the silent suite.
The noises continued one after another, forcing her to open the door.
Gu Qingwu suddenly regained her senses. First, the courage in her heart was shattered. She shrank back into a limp body, blinked her eyelashes and looked at He Sui's deep and bottomless eyes, and said with a very light breath: "Maybe it's my agent..."
She had the same misunderstanding an hour ago.
