Chapter 173: Chapter 170: He is a Beast, and also a Deity
The car had sped for a few more hours and finally arrived at the film base, the location of the crew.
There weren’t many crews shooting here, and the conditions were harsh; not many people were willing to come. However, the base was now filled with parked cars, and judging by the license plates, none of them were local.
It seemed that almost everyone had arrived.
From afar, Wen Xian saw a group of people standing outside the base. Those who usually looked glamorous in big cities were now all grimy and covered in dirt.
If she wasn’t mistaken, that director, Li Xun, was wearing an army green cap, an army coat, and had a notebook in his hand, giving orders about something.
Inside the car, because Huo Qi was sitting in the back, Wen Xian dared not behave as freely towards him as she had before.
She still glanced at Lu Xiao from time to time, seemingly worried about how to keep him from getting angry.
At the moment, she listened as the chattering from Huo Qi ceased behind her. Looking back, she indeed saw him with his head down, asleep.
She let out a slight sigh of relief, then turned around and whispered to someone, “I’m arriving.”
This shoot, she didn’t know how many days it would be until she saw him again. After all, they were not close in distance; she would definitely be busy and tired from filming. Before coming, Cheng Dongyuan had given her a warning.
Lu Xiao drove the car and responded with a faint hmm.
Seeing him so indifferent made Wen Xian’s heart churn with unease.
The two were about to part ways, and he was still angry. Sister Ling said it was to calm his anger, and she wanted to as well, but with her period just ending and an unknown time to meet again, they couldn’t stay angry all these days, could they?
Just when they were still some distance from the base ahead, Lu Xiao suddenly stopped the car and said sternly, “There are many of your people looking this way; I won’t escort you over.”
He couldn’t cause any impact on her.
She wanted to say something but feared Huo Qi might hear, so she reluctantly began to unbuckle her seatbelt.
Damn, getting a boyfriend in a day felt like having a clandestine affair. What a mess.
“So, I should go now…?”
At this point, wasn’t he going to say anything more to her?
Lu Xiao responded with a faint hmm again, still not looking at her.
Wen Xian sighed inwardly, turned her head, and prepared to wake up Huo Qi.
But just as she was about to move her lips—
Before she could make a sound, someone leaned in and blocked it.
The SUV was parked by the roadside, only a few meters from the film base ahead, with a group of people standing there.
Huo Qi was still sleeping lamely in the back.
Her vision was covered by a shadow, and Wen Xian just stared at his slightly closed, cold, and slender eyes.
Her throat involuntarily moved.
The next second, his somewhat hoarse voice came through, “Close your eyes.”
Wen Xian quickly obeyed and closed her eyes, her heartbeat almost leaping out of her chest, thumping loudly as if drums were being beaten.
Huo Qi was still sleeping in the back.
But he was so audaciously doing this! Right in front of him!
At that moment, from a certain angle in the rearview mirror, a scene was faintly visible…
He was gently caressing her cheek.
His throat moving slightly, as though no matter how much he tried, it was never enough.
After Huo Qi got out of the car, he yawned comfortably, stretched lazily, and then glanced at the departing SUV with some curiosity as he looked at Wen Xian:
“Hey? How come his bodyguard left by himself?”
Wen Xian stood on the road, watching the car that gradually sped away, and finally, sincerely remarked:
“A loner is either a beast or a deity.”
