God of Racing-Chapter 444 - 437
Watching the two about to argue again, Yu Sangwan felt a headache coming on, "Stop arguing, we need to think about what to do now?"
Le Zhengsheng was unwilling to admit defeat, "What does it matter? I invited the person, I'll get them back!"
"Tch." Lu Jinxuan sneered, "Great idea, Young Master Le Zheng is truly youthful and vibrant!"
"You..." Le Zhengsheng turned back to glare at him, "So what do you suggest?"
Lu Jinxuan unhurriedly uttered four words, "Find someone to replace."
As soon as he spoke, even Yu Sangwan was taken aback. "Find someone to replace? But the script only..."
She paused, looking uncertainly at Lu Jinxuan. They were the most familiar with the script, having planned most of the preliminary work together as Jiang Shuo. Was he suggesting they take the stage?
Lu Jinxuan raised his hand and gently placed it on her head, "Yes, just as you think."
"..." Yu Sangwan didn't speak, but her cheeks started to heat up.
Lu Jinxuan noticed, his lips curling into a light smile, "Are you scared?"
Yu Sangwan, slow to react, gave no response. Lu Jinxuan thought she tacitly agreed and spoke gently, "Don't be afraid, just like that real night... with me."
The real night... was he referring to the night of the fire? Yu Sangwan's heart betrayed her by speeding up, her palms slowly clenching.
Le Zhengsheng saw they only had eyes for each other, and with a bitter smile, he turned and walked out.
"Le Zheng..." Yu Sangwan watched his back, calling out to him.
Le Zhengsheng, not looking back, waved his hand, "You two prepare well, they need someone outside too, I'll go and hold things together!"
It was not that he wasn't hurt, but as long as she was happy... that was enough.
Around her waist tightened, and Yu Sangwan was pulled into Lu Jinxuan's arms. His eyes downcast, his expression wasn't good. Now alone, Yu Sangwan felt slightly awkward, "Um... let's, let's do makeup and change clothes? We also need to familiarize ourselves with the marks..."
Mid-sentence, something was stuffed into her mouth. Something cool, round. Yu Sangwan froze, looking at Lu Jinxuan in confusion, "What did you give me to eat?"
"Anti-inflammatory throat lozenge." Lu Jinxuan's voice was very soft, with a hint of embarrassment.
Yu Sangwan was stunned, staring at him, unable to look away.
Lu Jinxuan, abashed, growled softly, "Don't look at me with those eyes?"
Yu Sangwan ignored him, still staring, and in the end, Lu Jinxuan was defeated by her, smiling despite himself, his chest vibrating slightly, "Isn't your throat sore? Can't you save your strength when you talk with people? Didn't the supervisor provide you with a loudspeaker?"
Yu Sangwan pressed her lips, stifling a laugh, "Yes, you're right."
Her sudden warmth softened the atmosphere into something tender.
Lu Jinxuan's expression brightened, revealing a row of neat, white teeth. It was rare for him to smile this way, and he did so now because he was genuinely happy.
Yu Sangwan lowered her head, grasping his hand, "Let's go, makeup and change clothes."
Outside, Le Zhengsheng coordinated the scene. The word had spread that 'Jiang Shuo' and Yu Sangwan would replace the original male and female leads on stage, and naturally, Mu Qinglan hiding in a corner had also heard. Anxiously, she stamped her feet, "Tsk! What to do? She's sticking to Lu Jinxuan again!"
Recalling Yu Sangwan's pointed words that day, Mu Qinglan couldn't maintain her composure; she must have discovered something! Regardless of the truth, this Yu Sangwan could not be allowed to remain!
Mu Qinglan looked up at the dilapidated old building, considering they were about to jump down, performing a scene of crossing the sea of fire... her heart skipped a beat, and suddenly she had an idea.
Her palm slowly clenched tight with eyes filled with hatred, "Yu Sangwan, don't blame me... you're just too troublesome!"
In the open-air venue, Le Zhengsheng was busy managing the scene.
"Such a beautiful theme is quite different from Donghua's usual style."
"Young Master Le Zheng, we are looking forward to it very much."
"Thank you, thanks to everyone..."
The two, having changed their clothes and done their makeup, stood at the designated spot. The windows had been dealt with, and the fireworks and explosives were set, promising only the effects of explosions and fire without really hurting anyone. Yet, even so, Yu Sangwan was still nervous.
Lu Jinxuan squeezed her hand, "Don't be afraid, leave it to me."
A worker came over and fastened the safety ropes around their waists, "Mr. Jiang, Miss Yu, when the explosion starts and the music plays, Miss Yu, you can go first."
Yu Sangwan took a deep breath and nodded, "Okay."
'Boom'! A fiery dragon spewed out; Lu Jinxuan let go of Yu Sangwan's hand, "You go first, I'll be right there!"
Yu Sangwan stepped out, recalling her marks she had set, and though nervous, she was determined. Leaping out of the window, Yu Sangwan counted silently, one, two, three... when it was time to stop, she just couldn't!
Lu Jinxuan was the first to notice something was wrong, what was happening?
No time to think, Lu Jinxuan jumped after her. Their daring act was thrilling to watch from below.
"Wanwan!" Lu Jinxuan's voice, mingled with the explosion and music, reached Yu Sangwan's ears, "What's wrong?"
"Jinxuan!" Yu Sangwan helplessly shook her head; how could she know what was wrong? She only felt weightless now, completely out of control, plummeting downward! Was she going to fall to her death? As she descended, the window continued its explosive sequence.
Lu Jinxuan realized something, quickly looking up, grabbing Yu Sangwan's safety rope, leaving Yu Sangwan wide-eyed with astonishment, "Jinxuan!"
Lu Jinxuan furrowed his brow, wrapping the rope completely around his arm. Though his arm was strong, the situation was still dangerous. Both of them dangled mid-air, and though it was Donghua's old building, it was still over 30 stories high.
