After Wen Yusui and Lin Yinyin were moved to the front by the assistant director, the acting of the other extras immediately looked stiff. Their expressions were unnatural, and their eyes were unfocused and constantly wandering.
The assistant director suppressed his anger and shouted, “I hate filming scenes with extras the most! Have none of you ever had any training? Put your heart into it! Put your heart into it! Do you understand?”
“Assistant Director, I understand! My heart has already walked around several times!” one of the extras raised her hand and shouted, trying to catch the assistant director’s attention so she could get a better role.
The assistant director shot her a glance and impatiently waved his hand.
Two crew members suddenly appeared beside him and promptly dragged her away.
“Get out and go somewhere farther away! Keep going! Scene Three! Action!”
Following the assistant director’s command, the camera continued filming.
Suddenly, the prop electric scooter being used in the scene lost control and skidded.
All the extras hurriedly scattered to avoid it.
Lin Yinyin had completely missed what was happening ahead. By the time she looked over, the electric scooter was already heading straight toward her.
Just when she thought she wouldn’t be able to get out of the way, Wen Yusui grabbed Lin Yinyin and pulled her aside.
She then executed a graceful spin. Relying on her precise body control, she immediately grabbed the person riding the scooter with one hand, while her other hand firmly pressed down on the brake. At the same time, she braced the scooter against the wall with her leg, stopping it completely.
The entire sequence of movements was smooth and fluid, and Wen Yusui remained incredibly calm from beginning to end.
The camera captured the entire thing perfectly.
When the assistant director saw the footage, he praised her repeatedly.
Lin Yinyin stood nearby, still shaken.
Although the electric scooter probably wouldn’t kill anyone, getting hit by it would at the very least leave someone seriously injured.
She excitedly wrapped her arms around Wen Yusui’s free leg and wailed at the top of her lungs, “Thank you, Sister Wen! You saved my life! From now on, you’re my real sister! No, I have to kowtow to you a few times!”
She was about to do exactly that when Wen Yusui quickly raised a hand to stop her.
“Embarrassing,” Wen Yusui said flatly.
Lin Yinyin was just about to say, “Okay, fine,” when Wen Yusui calmly added, “You can kowtow when we get back.”
“…”
Lin Yinyin froze.
Everyone present froze as well.
The assistant director excitedly walked over.
“Hey, you!”
“You’re the one who should be called ‘hey, you’! This is my sister, Wen Yusui!” Lin Yinyin immediately stood up. From now on, she wouldn’t allow anyone to disrespect her sister—not even the director!
“Oh, Wen Yusui. That save just now was amazing! Even your movements were incredibly smooth and clean. Not bad! And you…”
The assistant director turned toward Lin Yinyin.
Lin Yinyin thought her own spectacular performance was about to be praised and eagerly prepared herself for the compliment.
Instead, the assistant director said, “Your kneeling hug was also very smooth and clean. Even smoother, in fact. Not bad, not bad!”
“…”
Could this assistant director please stop forcing himself to compliment people?
After several hours, the scene finally came to an end.
Wen Yusui was dragging her exhausted body away when Lin Yinyin suddenly shouted, “Sister Wen! Your lower leg is bleeding! The blood has already dried! When did you get hurt?”
Wen Yusui calmly glanced down. “It’s fine. I probably bumped it when I braced the scooter with my leg just now.”
Only after Lin Yinyin pointed it out did Wen Yusui actually notice the pain.
“I’ll go find some gauze and iodine. Wait here!” Lin Yinyin said before walking away without giving Wen Yusui a chance to respond.
“Yusui!”
A familiar voice suddenly came from a distance.
It was He Yanzhou.
There was a faint smile on his handsome, refined face.
“Why are you here?” Wen Yusui looked up at him.
How had she never noticed before that he was just as handsome as that scumbag Gu Huaichuan?
“I came to pick you up.”
“No need. I can take the bus back.” Wen Yusui rejected him without hesitation.
“Yusui, I’m your manager, after all. Although you’re still working as an extra right now, once you become famous, you’ll eventually have to get used to having me by your side.”
Even so, Wen Yusui really didn’t have much of a favorable impression of men anymore.
Seeing her remain silent, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes, He Yanzhou continued, “Yusui, we’re just business partners. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself.”
Wen Yusui thought about it and realized he was right.
Not every man was a scumbag. And in this line of work, she would inevitably encounter all kinds of men. She couldn’t allow herself to become so narrow-minded.
“Sister Wen, I’m back!”
Lin Yinyin came over carrying a first-aid kit.
“President He? You’re here too?”
He Yanzhou nodded.
His eyes fell on the first-aid kit in Lin Yinyin’s hands, and he asked, “Are you hurt?”
“Not me! It’s Sister Wen!” Lin Yinyin hurriedly clarified. “Her leg is injured.”
A trace of concern flashed through He Yanzhou’s eyes when he heard that Wen Yusui was hurt.
“There are too many people here. Let’s go to my car. I’ll treat your wound.”
With that, he was just about to pick Wen Yusui up.
Like a startled rabbit, Wen Yusui immediately jumped behind Lin Yinyin.
“Ah…”
She had jumped too forcefully and immediately pulled at her wound, causing it to start bleeding again. Wen Yusui sucked in a sharp breath from the pain.
Seeing He Yanzhou about to approach again, she hurriedly shouted, “Stay there! I can walk!”
He Yanzhou had no choice but to take the first-aid kit from Lin Yinyin and let her help Wen Yusui to his car.
The moment Lin Yinyin helped Wen Yusui into the passenger seat, she said, “I have something else to do. Sister Wen, I’m leaving first! President He, I’ll leave Sister Wen’s injury to you!”
With that, Lin Yinyin ran off faster than anyone else.
He Yanzhou stood beside the passenger door and quickly opened the first-aid kit.
“I’ll disinfect the wound first. Stretch your leg out.”
“No need. I can do it myself. Just give me the first-aid kit.”
He Yanzhou acted as though he hadn’t heard her.
His expression serious, he looked at Wen Yusui and said, “Yusui, since I’m your manager, you should get used to me taking care of you. You’re always so distant with me. It really hurts my feelings.”
Looking at him like this, Wen Yusui finally stretched out her leg.
She was always overcomplicating simple things.
He Yanzhou was right. Since he would be her manager from now on, why did she have to be so distant?
He Yanzhou crouched down and gently touched her lower leg, then picked up the iodine and carefully wiped the wound.
A sharp sting immediately shot through her.
Wen Yusui couldn’t help frowning and instinctively pulled her lower leg back slightly.
“Sorry! I was too heavy-handed. I’ll be gentler,” He Yanzhou said, immediately realizing that he must have hurt her.
“It’s fine. Just do it quickly. I can endure it.”
“Okay.”
At that moment, the scene inside the black Bentley was frozen in the eyes of someone sitting in another car.
Through the window, he watched as the man gently held Wen Yusui’s lower leg.
“Wen Yusui! You’re flirting with other men again!” the man inside the car muttered.
His voice was filled with jealousy and coldness.
The temperature inside the car seemed to drop instantly.
His deep-set eyes stared at the two of them unwillingly. In his eyes, every little interaction between the pair outside looked unbearably intimate.
“Wen Yusui! You really are something!”
