Gu Qingwu was awakened by the sound of rain outside the window. When he got out of bed, his entire body felt as if it was falling apart. His knees were weak and he could barely stand. He could only slowly move to the bathroom and turn on the light.
In front of the wide mirror, she tilted her face slightly, and from the base of her ears all the way down to the side of her fair neck, it was covered with kiss marks of varying depths, which could not be covered by foundation alone. Fortunately, it was the cold spring season and she had more clothes to wear.
After checking here, Gu Qingwu looked at the slender back, which was even more tragic, especially the skin at the waistline, which was tightly grasped by He Suichen's hot palm last night. The slender joints were white, and the force was so strong that it seemed to break her.
When Gu Qingwu saw this body that had indulged in excessive sexual activities, he thought it was a miracle that he was still alive.
She simply rinsed herself, wrapped herself tightly in the towel and went out to find her clothes.
The whole villa was very quiet. Apart from the messy bed that proved that she and He Sui Chen had spent half the night together, there was no trace of him. After washing and dressing, Gu Qingwu did not ask where he had gone and prepared to call a taxi to leave.
The secretary specially prepared breakfast and asked in a low voice: "Miss Gu, don't you want to eat something?"
Gu Qingwu shook his head, his voice a little hoarse, and he didn't want to talk much.
She came out of Guanshan Royal Mansion at around nine o'clock and went straight to the Hengdian film set. She sat in the dressing room before Luo Yuan's urgent call came.
There were other actresses putting on makeup nearby. Gu Qingwu first changed into a bright red court dress and leaned lazily on the chair, her clean fingers slowly flipping through the Buddhist scriptures left in the crew.
Luo Yuan made a cup of red date tea and brought it in. When he saw her, he teased her with a half-smile: "Oh, have you started to stay away from worldly things and read Buddhist scriptures recently?"
Gu Qingwu rubbed the Buddhist scriptures with his fingertips and rolled his eyes.
Luo Yuan randomly found a chair, leaned in to take a look, and felt something was wrong: "You are not possessed by reading Buddhist scriptures, are you? Look at the dark spots under your eyelids, and you look listless. Even climbing a mountain would not make you this tired."
Gu Qingwu said: "Climbing a mountain is nothing."
"Look at what you said." Luo Yuan didn't forget his deep thoughts and continued to talk: "Did Mr. He take you to climb the mountain?"
Gu Qingwu thought about it and nodded confidently: "I climbed, and climbed several times... Now my waist and legs ache, so I want to finish the filming quickly and find a bed to sleep for three days and three nights."
Luo Yuan looked down at his watch and estimated the time, saying, "I asked the director, your scenes will end at 7pm, and we can wrap up the shoot in half a week."
Gu Qingwu yawned, tears almost coming out.
In order to refresh herself, she continued to flip through the Buddhist scriptures. The faint scent of incense on the paper could calm her mind.
-
After putting on makeup and cooperating with the director to reshoot the scenes, everything went smoothly.
As it gradually darkened, everyone put down their work and stopped to rest for half an hour.
Gu Qingwu took the military coat and wrapped herself tightly, then sat on a stool next to the monitor, counting the time every minute and every second to see when she could finish work and return to the hotel to lie down. She felt her neck could no longer support her head, and her eyelids were drooping, but she couldn't let anyone see her.
At this time, someone quietly sent hundreds of seafood sets to the crew as a midnight snack, without specifying who it was for.
Yue Zui was surprised, but it was good to have something to eat, so he asked the staff to distribute it to everyone soon.
Gu Qingwu was not given a seafood meal, but a pot of chicken soup to replenish blood. When no one was paying attention, Luo Yuan took it and whispered, "The bodyguard next to Mr. He gave it to me. He said that he would let you drink it no matter what."
Gu Qingwu had no appetite at all and didn't even drink a few drops of water, but the chicken soup smelled quite good.
She found a small bowl to serve some, took a sip slowly, and commented, "Not bad."
Luo Yuan said seriously, "Boss He is considerate of your hard work in filming and specially sent you chicken soup."
Gu Qingwu took another sip and silently retorted in her heart, No way, He Sui Chen was the culprit who caused her back pain all day long, and the chicken soup for replenishing qi and blood was a bargain for him.
However, Luo Yuan even believed her fabricated story about climbing a mountain and didn’t even think about what was going on.
During the next half week on the set, kind-hearted people delivered food on time, and also gave Gu Qingwu Lei chicken soup to replenish his qi and blood.
Even though Yue Zuibai had been eating seafood sets for several days, he understood what was going on.
He and the entire crew benefited from Gu Qingwu's help, and it was unknown which of her wealthy suitors gave it to him.
Luo Yuan would get half a bowl of chicken soup from Gu Qingwu every day. It tasted like some family recipe passed down from generation to generation. It was so delicious that he gained several pounds after three or four days. Finally, he started to enjoy the soup.
After reshooting the last scene, on the day of the official wrap, he walked into the lounge, closed the door and asked, "Tell me the truth, were you seduced into bed by Mr. He? No wonder you were given blood transfusions for several days in a row, what the hell."
Gu Qingwu leaned back on the sofa, scrolling through the headlines on Weibo out of boredom, not even bothering to look at him.
Luo Yuan couldn't help but be curious: "Have you two gotten to this stage of familiarity?"
"He's my boyfriend now."
Gu Qingwu finally revealed a little bit of inside information and smiled: "Isn't it normal for mature men and women to experience sex?"
Luo Yuan and his whole family were shocked. They had always thought that Gu Qingwu and He Sui Chen were playing a guessing game and no one took the initiative to break up the ambiguity. Who knew that they had already sorted out this mess of feelings.
"Let me ask, is it the genuine kind?"
"Otherwise, who do you think He Suichen can give up his position to?"
Luo Yuan: “…”
It took her more than ten minutes to accept this fact, and she suddenly became excited: "Miss, I never dared to dream that you would be able to fall in love with a man one day, and the object is an unattainable big shot like He Suichen. In the future, can we be considered as people with backers?"
Gu Qingwu glanced at the water in the glass and asked him to wake up by himself.
"He Suichen and I only talk about feelings, not other interests."
Luo Yuan has automatically regarded He Suichen as his own family:
"—Aren't you just wasting resources?"
Gu Qingwu said nothing, her thick eyelashes drooped, and she continued to scroll through the entertainment news. When she saw the press release about Shen Xingdu and Jiang Xuening's breakup, she just swiped past it and moved on to the next one.
Luo Yuan knew how to be measured when joking. After a while, he went out to answer a phone call and came back to say, "You've finished filming, Yue Zui has booked a private room to celebrate. You're the main character tonight and you can't refuse."
Due to Gu Qingwu's personality, he never likes to get involved in such drinking parties unless it is a special situation.
She put down her phone, stretched and said, "Okay, I see."
After recuperating for a few days, she was finally fully recovered. After changing out of her costumes and removing her makeup, she took a car with a group of crew members to the Yueting Hotel at seven o'clock in the evening to celebrate the completion of the filming.
The atmosphere in the entire box was very lively. After all, the filming had lasted for several months and was finally coming to an end. Everyone was drinking happily. Even Shen Xingdu did not act lazy like a top star and drank several glasses with Yue Zui.
As the protagonist, Gu Qingwu couldn't avoid being toasted by others.
Soon everyone found out that if anyone dared to stand up and toast to Gu Qingwu, Shen Xingdu would toast back three times as much as he did when he returned to his seat. As time went by, everyone knew who they should not mess with, like a mirror.
In the second half, Yi Xiaorong took the initiative to walk to Gu Qingwu with a glass of wine and suggested taking a photo with her.
Gu Qingwu was still able to remain sober at this moment, but the corners of her slightly upturned eyes were a little pink, making her look less cold and aloof than usual, but instead more charming and beautiful. She did not refuse in front of everyone, but cooperated with Yi Xiaorong to take a selfie with a smile.
But there was only this one photo when Yi Xiaorong suggested adding a WeChat friend.
Gu Qingwu rubbed his brows with his fingertips, and said as if he was drunk: "I feel a little dizzy."
Everyone present thought that he had drunk too much. Yi Xiaorong also walked down the stairs and gently instructed the people around her: "Go and make Qingwu a cup of hangover tea."
Ever since Gu Qingwu turned the tables on the hot search on New Year’s Eve and got the global lifetime endorsement of Xiangjia.
With an attitude visible to the naked eye, Yi Xiaorong showed her goodwill several times. Although she didn't know which wealthy boss with strong capital backed her, considering that she could get top resources at will, Jiang Xuening's tiny benefit was not enough for her.
Yi Xiaorong intended to make friends with the big man behind Gu Qingwu, and quietly created the appearance that she was quite familiar with her. After sitting back in her seat, she took out the selfie. Gu Qingwu in the photo was young and beautiful, and her face was so delicate that there was no trace of flaws even without any photo retouching.
She posted the selfie to her Moments, captioning, "Being able to film with Gu Xiaomei on the set for several months is a feast for the eyes every day. I hope there will be another opportunity to work with her again in the future. Happy wrap-up."
Less than half an hour.
I saw a lot of comments and likes on my Moments, all from people in the same circle.
Only one caught Yi Xiaorong's attention.
In the latest comments on WeChat Moments, a person named Gu Wenhan popped up and said, "My parents gave me a good birth."
Yi Xiaorong thought about it for a while. She met this man when she went to Licheng to attend a business event. She remembered him as a polite and Confucian businessman. At that time, he was pestered by a female companion, so she did not take the initiative to get in touch with him.
They have been on WeChat together for half a year. Seeing that Gu Wenhan left her a message tonight, Yi Xiaorong clicked on his profile picture and took the initiative to invite him to a private chat.
As the party in the box came to an end, Gu Qingwu continued to say goodbye to Yue Zui, using the excuse that he was not drunk.
She asked Luo Yuan to pay the bill first, but Shen Xingdu had already taken advantage of her situation and didn't give her a chance. When he saw her picking up her woolen coat and leaving, he asked casually, "I'll give it to you?"
Gu Qingwu saw that he reeked of cigarettes and alcohol, and said calmly, "Don't drive tonight, or you'll end up on the headlines."
She walked out on her high heels. As soon as she stepped out of the box, she was full of energy. She took out her phone and sent a message to He Suichen: "The wrap party is over."
The hotel's private room is on the 56th floor. As you go down one floor at a time, you'll inevitably run into acquaintances if you're unlucky.
As luck would have it, when Gu Qingwu saw the elevator stop on the 30th floor, Zhou Fanyue walked in.
She didn't care at all. She didn't even put on any pretense. She read the messages on her phone with a cold expression, treating the other person as air.
Zhou Fanyue was recently suspended from work and on vacation, so she was the most idle one. She happened to come to the hotel tonight to persuade Lu Qinan to reinstate her position, but no matter how much she acted like a spoiled child or threw temper tantrums, it was of no use. When she was annoyed, she ran into the culprit.
She was too blindly confident in the past, and she took the relationship between Yu Siqing and He Sui Chen for granted, which led to her carelessness and her fall.
When he saw Gu Qingwu this time, Zhou Fanyue did not argue with her.
Instead, when the elevator door opened, a voice floated over: "There was a child... who learned to speak and called He Suichen dad for six years.
Gu Qingwu, do you think that just because of your face, you can make him not want his blood-related child?"
The author has something to say: Xiao Xiao He was so angry that he put his hands on his hips and pointed at his father: "You let other children call you dad? Then I will call you second uncle from now on."
Gu Qingwu, a bystander, said: "What a loving father and filial son."
