I don't know if it's because of the weather being too cold or some other reason, but Lu Qing has been out of it the whole time. They've had to reshoot the water scene three or four times alone.
"Ka!" The veins on Director Jiang's forehead bulged, and his brow furrowed into a character resembling the Chinese character for river. "Lu Qing! How many times have I told you to turn right first? Why do you always get it wrong?"
Lu Qing's pale face was bent over as she continued to apologize non-stop.
Gu Jingxuan's face in the water did not show any displeasure, but his eyes had already turned completely icy.
He had been in the water for at least 20 minutes. According to the usual schedule, if today's water scene filming goes smoothly, it should take no more than 5 minutes to complete.
Before Gu Jingxuan went into the water, he comforted himself by thinking of it as just a winter swimming scene arranged by the crew. But he didn't expect that Lu Qing would be out of sorts today. She shot five or six scenes of rescuing people from the water repeatedly, which made Gu Jingxuan wonder if she was doing it on purpose just to annoy him.
Until this take was finished, Gu Jingxuan's lips had turned white from the cold. When he was helped ashore, he was shivering uncontrollably.
Xu Chi watched from the side, his eyes turning red. If it weren't for Lin Tao pulling him back, he would have jumped into the water and pulled Gu Jingxuan up.
Wrapped in a thick towel by the staff, Gu Jingxuan stood in front of a heating furnace running at full power, yet he still felt an icy chill throughout his body, unable to sense any warmth.
"Brother Gu, ginger soup."
Gu Jingxuan stiffened his neck and raised his head. He saw Xu Chi approaching with red eyes, handing him a cup of ginger soup. Her fingertips were reddened, as if they had been scalded.
Gu Jingxuan took the ginger soup and gently touched Xu Chitong's red fingertips with his icy and stiff fingers.
"Why? Did you personally make ginger soup for me? And burn your hand in the process?" Gu Jingxuan originally wanted to comfort the child in front of him, who was on the verge of tears, with a teasing tone. However, as soon as he opened his mouth, his speech trembled and came out one shaky word at a time.
Gu Jingxuan felt Xu Chi's hand and it was very cold, like holding a handful of snow in the winter, which sent a chilly sensation through Xu Chi's heart.
"You better stop talking; your face is turning purple from the cold," Xu Chi said as he rubbed the warm baby in his pocket, which was getting warm from his own touch. He planned to secretly stick it onto Gu Jingxuan when Jiang Dao wasn't paying attention.
In the morning, he still had a fighting scene. Xu Chi didn't want Gu Jingxuan to freeze again.
After hearing Xu Chi's words, Gu Jingxuan raised his hand and rubbed his face, making a slightly frightened expression. "Oh no, am I not handsome anymore with purple lips?"
Xu Chi couldn't hold back his laughter and burst out laughing. Angrily, he handed the hand warmer in his hand to Gu Jingxuan.
"Take advantage of Jiang Dao's inattention later and stick it on. I tried it last night and the effect was quite good." At this moment, the redness around Xu Chi's eyes had already subsided, and there was still a slight upward angle at the corners of his mouth.
Gu Jingxuan finished drinking the ginger soup in his cup in one gulp, and furrowed his brows fiercely in the angle that Xu Chi couldn't see. Then, he turned his head and looked at Xu Chi, who was busy for his sake, rubbi
"You still look better when you smile."
Xu Chi's hair was originally very fine and difficult to style. Now, it was completely messed up by Gu Jingxuan's rub.
Xu Chi pouted discontentedly and tugged at the hair on top of her head, saying, "I just finished combing my hair so carefully, and now you've messed it up again, Gu Ge."
Xu Chi took the warm baby from Gu Jingxuan's hand and, while Jiang Dao turned away, lifted Gu Jingxuan's clothes and placed the warm baby against his stomach and lower back.
After accomplishing everything, Xu Chi straightened his back and clapped his hands. He said, "Alright, Director Jiang shouldn't be able to notice."
I looked at Gu Jingxuan and nodded in satisfaction.
"Xu Chi's Heartwarming Care Service is now finished! Guest, please indulge yourself."
After finishing speaking, he blushed and went to look for his assistant.
Gu Jingxuan watched Xu Chifei's figure quickly disappearing, and felt that the ginger soup he had just drunk didn't taste as bad as before. His whole body felt warm and cozy.
