    Chapter 38 Reverse Explosion Do you want to help me dry my hair?!…

    Wen Mian forced herself to nod, “A bit…”

    Gu Man thought about it and blamed himself for not bringing motion sickness medicine.

    She took out a bottle of mineral water from her backpack, twisted it open, and gently pressed the mouth of the bottle to Wen Mian’s lips, “Drink a little and it will make you feel better.”

    Wen Mian raised his head, and Gu Man immediately raised his wrist slightly. A chill slipped into his throat, slightly suppressing the urge to vomit.

    Wen Mian nodded and motioned for Gu Man to take his hand away, “It’s indeed much better.”

    Gu Man’s brows were still furrowed. She twisted the bottle cap and stared at Wen Mian closely. Her face was still pale, her eyes were closed, and she lacked the vitality of the past.

    This was the first time Gu Man felt like this. He flipped his wrist and hung it between her eyebrows.

    She wanted to smooth her eyebrows, her fingertips trembled slightly, but in the end they just hung there without falling.

    Gu Man seemed to understand something in his heart. It was an inexplicable feeling, with many hidden feelings, including heartache, worry, slight sweetness… a mixture of five flavors.

    After a short pause, the car finally arrived at its destination, and everyone went down with cheerful steps.

    Gu Man stood up, bent down, and stretched out his hand, “Shall I help you?”

    Wen Mian raised his eyes and looked at her. Her eyes were full of tenderness, and a strand of hair fell on the side of her neck.

    Raising his hands, their palms touched.

    With a slight exertion, Wen Mian followed Gu Man’s strength and stood up.

    Gu Man held the back of her hand and pulled her through the narrow lane in the middle.

    Wen Mian followed her with a smile on her lips, feeling sweet in her heart.

    After getting off the car, the others immediately stared with shock in their eyes. Only Wang Mo turned his back and looked at the villa.

    Zhang Yunxi, in particular, had her pupils contracted and her mouth opened roundly. She immediately shook Su Shiqiu away and moved closer to Wen Mian.

    Just as he was about to gossip, he suddenly saw Wen Mian’s pale face. His interest in watching the excitement disappeared immediately, and he asked anxiously: “What’s wrong? Your face is so pale?”

    Hearing Zhang Yunxi’s words, Wang Mo immediately turned around and quickly ran to Wen Mian, “Are you feeling uncomfortable?”

    Her eyes were full of worry, staring closely at Wen Mian’s face.

    Wen Mian shook his head and replied softly, interrupting their worries, “I’m just a little motion sick. It’s not a problem. Don’t worry.”

    Wang Mo immediately raised his eyebrows and couldn’t help but look anxious, “Motion sickness? Then lie down and rest quickly. I’ll tell the director right now.”

    Zhang Yunxi also nodded, “Yes, Mianmian.”

    Wen Mian waved his hand and said, “Thank you Momo, I’ll take a rest later.”

    Gu Man stared at her sideways, and gently tapped the back of Wen Mian’s jade-like hand with his fingertips, seemingly unintentionally, but more like urging.

    The tips of Wen Mian’s ears turned red. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at the hands held by the two of them, and quietly glared at her angrily.

    Gu Man gently raised the corners of his lips and whispered, “Rest.”

    Wen Mian was angry: “I know.”

    She smiled at everyone: “Let’s go.”

    Zhang Yunxi turned his head, but still stared at Wen Mian worriedly from the corner of his eye.

    Zhong Li quickened his pace, handed over to the boss, and led everyone inside.

    Wen Mian still chose the room on the second floor by the stairs. She said goodbye to everyone before turning around.

    Gu Man walked beside her, still not letting go. She gently held Wen Mian’s hand and walked upstairs.

    Wen Mian followed her footsteps until he walked to the room and stopped.

    Gu Man turned around and said softly, “Go back and rest.”

    Wen Mian smiled faintly and shook the hands they were holding. The meaning was obvious, “How can I go back if you’re like this?”

    As if being awakened, Gu Man suddenly withdrew his hand, put it behind his back, his eyelashes trembled, and replied in a low voice: “I…”

    Wen Mian chuckled, nodded, and said in a long voice, “Okay, I know you didn’t do it unintentionally—”

    Gu Man agreed, then his eyes were confused, then he realized and tilted his head to look at Wen Mian.

    Wen Mian covered her stomach and laughed, her body trembling wildly, her eyes widening. She wiped away the tears from laughter and said, “Have you recovered?”

    Gu Man looked at her helplessly, pursed her lips, and smiled in her eyes. She said dotingly, “Well, I’ve come to my senses.”

    Wen Mian took two breaths and her face turned from pale to rosy. She straightened up while holding her belly, and said slowly: “Forget it, I won’t tease you anymore. I’ll go back and rest. Remember to call me for dinner.”

    Gu Man hummed and watched her close the door before leaving with peace of mind and returned to her room.

    She took out her phone, looked down at it seriously, and secretly decided to go downstairs.

    Seeing Gu Man coming downstairs, Wang Mo quickly came over and asked, “How are you? Is Mianmian still feeling uncomfortable?”

    Gu Man looked at her sideways. Although he felt a little sad, he still replied when he saw her worried look: “Much better, don’t worry.”

    Wang Mo nodded slowly, patted his chest, and whispered to himself: “That’s good, that’s good.”

    Gu Man stopped looking at her and turned to find the owner of the villa. His voice was cold with a hint of request, “Hello, can I borrow the kitchen?”

    The boss scratched the back of his head honestly and said, “Of course, you can just use it without telling me.”

    Gu Man’s eyebrows softened slightly, “Thank you.”

    She walked to the kitchen, getting acquainted with the place and cleaning it up before the phone rang.

    “Well, I’ll go get it now, please.”

    After saying that, Gu Man hung up the phone, walked out of the small courtyard villa, took the ingredients from the delivery man, said “thank you” and walked back quickly.

    The delivery boy’s pupils were shaking, and he kept screaming in his heart: Ahhhh!I saw a star myself!I didn’t expect that!

    Like a monkey whose nature has been liberated, he covered his mouth and rode the donkey down the mountain in high spirits, without any signs of fatigue.

    Back in the kitchen, Gu Man rolled up her sleeves, revealing smooth and perfect lines. She lowered her head to handle the ingredients carefully.

    When all the ingredients were put into the pot, steam slowly began to come out, making her eyes wet.

    He poured out a small bowl and let it cool for a while. Gu Man picked up the small bowl and walked upstairs. He did not forget to say to Zhang Yunxi who kept sniffing and his hungry stomach growled: “If you want to drink it, serve it yourself.”

    Zhang Yunxi’s eyes suddenly lit up and he ran to the kitchen without stopping for a second, fearing that Gu Man would regret it if he was a second too late.

    Su Shiqiu smiled helplessly from behind and shouted to her, “Slow down, no one will compete with you.”

    Zhang Yunxi’s left ear went in and the right ear came out, “I got it.” His movements didn’t slow down at all.

    “Dong dong” sounded twice, and the door was knocked.

    Wen Mian rubbed his eyes and raised his eyes dimly. Are you going to have lunch?

    She put on her slippers, walked to the door, and opened it.

    As soon as she saw Gu Man, Wen Mian’s expression immediately softened, her back slumped down in relaxation, she sniffed with the tip of her nose, her eyes were attracted to the bowl Gu Man was holding, she coquettishly asked, “Did you do this?”

    Gu Man shook his head gently, “Well, this can help warm your stomach.”

    Wen Mian’s eyes moved upward, probably due to the vulnerability caused by illness. The ends of her eyes were slightly red, and there seemed to be tears in them.

    Taking it carefully with both hands, Wen Mian lowered his eyes and took a sip. His voice was low and choked, “I like it very much.”

    Gu Man’s eyebrows were full of distress and he said softly, “Then you can continue to rest. I’ll call you after dinner.”

    Wen Mian’s complicated emotions were hidden in her eyes, and she agreed with a hum.

    Knowing that Wen Mian didn’t want him to see her sad look, Gu Man walked gently back to his room.

    He caught a glimpse of her back from the corner of his eye, and Wen Mian raised his eyes to look at her back. Her simple clothes and tall figure outlined her figure.

    Seeing a hazy fog in front of his eyes, Wen Mian turned around and closed the door with a “squeak” sound.

    Leaning on the bed, Wen Mian lowered his eyes and looked at the fragrant yam and lean meat porridge in his hand, with a slight ripple on it.

    Wen Mian drank the porridge in one mouthful and cherished it. Wen Mian gently rubbed the side of the bowl, with a dull light shining in his eyes.

    Gu Man…she murmured her name for a long time before she put down the small bowl.

    There was a low sound from the bottom of the bowl and the desk. It was not loud, but it shocked the soul.

    Gu Man on the other side was standing on the window sill, typing on his phone.

    There was disgust on her forehead, and her voice was cold: “Go on, remember to hide it deeply so that you don’t get noticed.”

    Xie Yun: “I understand Mr. Gu.”

    She paused but did not hang up the phone.

    Gu Man said indifferently: “Is there anything else?”

    Xie Yun chuckled and rubbed his hands, “Um…Mr. Gu, how have you been with Miss Wen Mian these two days?”

    Gu Man was speechless for a moment, but thinking of the soft and coquettish Wen Mian just now, her tone softened, “Not bad.”

    Xie Yun’s eyes lit up, he pushed Minato’s head away, and said in disgust: “Mobile, go aside.”

    Then she put the phone to her ear and smiled flatteringly, “Hey, that’s good. Come on, Mr. Gu, we are always supporting you from behind!”

    Gu Man pinched his eyebrows and said, “I know, take care of yourself first, and finally remember – be careful.”

    When it came to business, Xie Yun’s expression changed and he promised: “Don’t worry, Mr. Gu, I will do it.”

    After hanging up the phone, Gu Man looked up and looked outside. The lush green surrounded the entire mountain.

    .

    After dealing with work for a while, it was soon time to eat. Gu Man walked out of the room and knocked on Wen Mian’s door.

    The corners of Wen Mian’s lips suddenly raised, he opened the door cheerfully and shouted, “Gu Man!”

    Gu Man agreed with a hum and replied: “Wen Wen, it’s time to eat.”

    Wen Mian crossed his arms and walked out of the door with a small jump. He tilted his head and stared at Gu Man: “Let’s go.”

    Gu Man followed her with a smile on his brows. She was keenly aware of Wen Mian’s sudden closeness to her, and her heart was filled with joy.

    As soon as they came downstairs, others immediately came forward and said worriedly: “Are you ready?”

    Wen Mian nodded and responded with a smile: “Don’t worry, it’s fine now!”

    After taking a look at Wen Mian’s rosy complexion, everyone felt relieved.

    Zhang Yunxi quickly said: “Great, let’s eat.”

    Wen Mian hummed and followed everyone else to sit at the dining table. The lunch meals were provided by the hotel. They were all grown by themselves, and they were all natural and pollution-free.

    Especially the spicy stir-fried diced chicken, which perfectly suited Wen Mian’s taste, and she ate a lot of it.

    Gu Man stared at her movements without leaving any trace, silently remembering them clearly in his mind.

    After dinner, considering that everyone was tired from traveling, Zhong Li did not ask them to go out, and everyone was happy to have some leisure time. Some people sat on the sofa, while others went outside to watch the scenery.

    Wen Mian was naturally the one sitting on the sofa. She lowered her head and read the script sent by Xu Qing seriously.

    The role she was going to audition for was the protagonist Bai Yueguang, who sacrificed his life for the sake of his family and country. He didn’t have many roles, but it wasn’t easy to act.

    Although she seems to be a fringe character, she also has her own complexities. She is weak and can be regarded as Bai Yueguang’s standard character.

    But she has a very high IQ and is resourceful. From the unpopular little princess in the palace to the central position step by step, she can grasp the overall situation, and she can be regarded as the protagonist’s enlightenment teacher.

    Wen Mian frowned slightly and tried to get inside.

    As a princess with such outstanding abilities, but unable to ascend the throne because of her body, what kind of mentality would she have?

    There should be reluctance and resentment, but it is more about tenacity and refusal to accept fate. It can be seen from her final choice to participate in the war. She can die, but she must die in a worthy way, die in a valuable way, and be remembered by the world.

    An inexplicable feeling arose in my heart, as if I was in an extremely quiet environment, surrounded by darkness, and I couldn’t see my fingers when I stretched out my hand.

    Suddenly, a hazy light shot down from above, and the world was divided into two halves, with himself on one side and her on the other.

    Through the mirror and the hazy moonlight, you can clearly see the fire burning in her eyes. It seems that no matter how weak and weak her body is, she can’t extinguish the fire.

    Wen Mian felt shocked from her eyes. She opened her eyes suddenly and could not forget it for a long time.

    Gu Man relaxed his eyebrows without leaving any trace, and handed over a glass of warm water at the right time.

    The “gudong” sound of swallowing was particularly obvious, and the dull eyes regained their brilliance. Wen Mian turned to look at Gu Man and thanked softly: “Thank you.”

    Gu Man shook his head and asked proactively: “Would you like to go outside to relax?”

    Wen Mian lowered his head and glanced at his phone, then closed it and nodded, smiling and agreeing: “Okay!”

    She put down the cup, and the two of them slowly walked out.

    .

    The audience in the live broadcast room was silent and then exploded.

    【What happened just now?Scared me to death!】

    [Me too, Wen Mian’s eyes are so scary, just like…]

    【Just like an emperor.】

    [Yes, yes, that’s what I mean, so what happened? Why did it suddenly change?】

    [I don’t understand either, what is in the phone!urgent!】

    There is no point in being anxious, oh, it is also useful. At least taking advantage of this idea, someone posted the recorded video online and prayed for help from others.

    When people in the industry saw it, they immediately laughed and quickly sent it to Cheng Lin.

    [Wang: Cheng Lin, do you think this looks like the role you are looking for?】

    Cheng Lin clicked on the video and took a look, her pupils suddenly shook, her hands tightly grasped the objects next to her, her eyes were filled with a feverish light, and her expression became a little ferocious, that’s it, this is how it feels!

    It wasn’t until she replayed it several times that she came out of her frenzied joy, and her original satisfaction score of five points for Wen Mian immediately increased to eight points.

    She replied to her companion: It is indeed very similar. I had approached her agent before, but she said she had no experience and needed to give it a try. Now it seems…

    She didn’t finish the rest of the words, but both of them knew it well.

    Talent type?Director Wang over there is full of shrewd eyes. It seems that after Cheng Lin finishes filming, he will seize the opportunity.

    Wen Mian, who was still admiring the beautiful scenery, didn’t know yet that he wouldn’t even think about resting for the next few months.

    .

    The air in the mountains is heavy with moisture, mixed with the smell of earth and grass, which is not pleasant.

    Wen Mian sniffed unconsciously. She raised her eyes and looked at the weather. The clouds were very low and the world became foggy.

    “Is it going to rain?” she whispered.

    She said that Cao Cao had arrived. As soon as she finished speaking, the sky began to rain wet mist.

    Gu Man immediately approached her, put his hand on top of her head, and said in a soft voice, “Go back first.”

    Wen Mian hummed, she didn’t want to get wet, so she ran back to the small courtyard quickly.

    Fortunately, the two of them were not far from the small courtyard and returned to the small courtyard in less than a minute.

    The first second he came in, Gu Man immediately said: “Go up and take a shower.”

    Wen Mian had a smile on his brows, pointed at his clothes, and said, “I’m the only one who still needs to take a shower?”

    Gu Man glanced at Wen Mian up and down. There were a few small drops of water on her clothes. You couldn’t tell unless you looked closely.

    She raised her eyes, looked at her seriously, and nodded firmly, “Need.”

    Wen Mian’s eyebrows arched, and he burst into laughter, his branches trembling with laughter, and the ends of his eyes turned pink like peach blossoms, as if he could inhale the sweetness inside with just one breath.

    She nodded lovingly, her voice rising, “Okay, I’ll go, but you also have to go.”

    Gu Man looked at her smiling and tearful eyes and nodded, “Okay.”

    The two walked upstairs, hand on the doorknob.

    Wen Mian turned his head and met her eyes. They pushed open the door with their wrists.

    The warm running water gently washes the body, shaking off the coolness brought by the raindrops.

    After wrapping herself in a bath towel and waiting for a while, Wen Mian put on new clothes and walked out.

    Gu Man, who was standing aside, immediately came over to greet her, frowning slightly, “You’ll catch a cold if you don’t blow dry your hair.”

    Wen Mian raised his eyes to look at her, smiled and asked, “Then why don’t you blow dry your hair?”

    Gu Man was stunned and couldn’t help but touch her dripping hair. She shook her head gently and said, “It’s okay for me, but not for you.”

    Wen Mian pursed her lips in disapproval, “Why is it okay for you but not for me? Anyway, if you don’t blow dry, neither will I!”

    Her tone was firm and stubborn.

    Gu Man slowly smiled and nodded fondly, “Okay, I’ll blow dry it for you first, and then go back and dry it immediately.”

    Wen Mian hummed, “That’s right!”

    Then she realized what Gu Man was talking about. She was stunned, staring at Gu Man in disbelief, and pointed to the tip of her nose, “You want to help me dry my hair?”

    Gu Man raised his eyebrows, “Isn’t it possible?” Her eyes dimmed and her tone was lost.

    Wen Mian was stunned for a while, but still couldn’t bear to see her look like this, and nodded slowly, “Okay?”

    Gu Man’s eyes flashed with a cunning light, and his appearance immediately changed. His calmness was full of excitement.

    Knowing that she had been deceived, Wen Mian did not feel angry at all. She opened the door, glanced back at Gu Man, and said to her: “Let’s go, let’s play together.”

    The door was fully opened to Gu Man, and the first thing that hit his face was the sweet scent of strawberries, mixed with a little bit of her rosewood scent.

    The aroma of strawberries overflowed, so strong that the entire corridor seemed to be filled with her scent.

    Gu Man quickly looked away before he could even see the layout of the room clearly.

    The glands on the back of his neck were hot and hot, and the ends of his eyes were stained a rouge-like red, along with the small mole under his eyes.

    It is a sign of collapse during the susceptible period…

    The soft flesh in Gu Man’s throat rolled a few times, but he still felt burned and dry, and his eyes gradually became bloodshot.

    Even though there was so much overflowing strawberry pheromones, Gu Man still felt it was not enough. She controlled not to turn her face away or look at the soft flesh on the back of Wen Mian’s neck.

    Don’t… don’t scare her!

    With only this thought left in his mind, he took a few more rapid breaths, and his suppressed body bent slightly at several angles.

    Wen Mian didn’t hear Gu Man’s reply and stared at her in confusion. Seeing her slightly bent body, Wen Mian frowned in worry. Without thinking too much, he reached out to help her, “What’s wrong?”

    Gu Man’s eyes were bloodshot even more. She quickly avoided Wen Mian’s hand, but her movements were still gentle.

    Breathing softly, Gu Man shook his head, “It’s okay, I’m just sorry, I can’t blow dry your hair.”

    Staring at the hand that was thrown away, Wen Mian was stunned for a moment, but after hearing Gu Man’s words, she quickly replied: “There is no need to apologize. There will be a chance next time, but you…what happened?”

    There was anxiety in her tone, and she looked at Gu Man in a panic, the ends of her eyes slowly turning red.

    Gu Man smiled softly and calmed her worries, “It’s just that the susceptible period is a bit uncomfortable. I’ll go back first. Remember to blow dry your hair.”

    Wen Mian wanted to curse for a moment. She almost burst into tears and laughed, but there was a hint of choking and urging in her voice, “How long has it been since you said this? Go back and rest!”

    Gu Man hummed, forced herself to stand up, and moved back to the room step by step. Her pace was a bit slow, as she was afraid that going too fast would worry Wen Mian.

    .

    Even so, when she closed the door, she still blamed herself for making Wen Mian cry.

    After breathing heavily, Gu Man buried himself on the pillow. His semi-wet hair fell randomly and fell on his skin, bringing a cool touch.

    Not enough!Still not enough!Want to…

    The eyes were full of bloodshot eyes, the tiny light was dim, and it was most difficult to be awake and confused for a while.

    After another hazy awakening, Gu Man opened the suitcase with trembling fingers and found the inhibitor.

    The hand holding the inhibitor was shaking violently. Gu Man bit his lower lip tightly, with a hint of eagerness and cruelty in his movements.

    The cold medicine was injected into his arm, and a drop of blood spilled from his lower lip.

    “Ha…ha…” After two sounds, Gu Man turned over and lay flat on the bed. The slim-fitting clothes folded up with her movements, revealing her cold white skin.

    Her hands covered her flushed face, and the rise and fall of her chest gradually subsided.

    Wen Mian on the other side stared at her as she returned to the room, her brows still furrowed.

    Turning on the hair dryer, the sound of “boom” filled his ears, and Gu Man’s voice could no longer be heard.

    She couldn’t help but feel impatience in her movements, wanting to dry herself quickly, and she also wanted to know Gu Man’s current condition.

    Not long after, Wen Mian unplugged the hair dryer angrily and threw it aside.

    She picked up the phone and touched the frosted case nervously. Her eyelashes fluttered like wings and her face was tangled. Is she okay now?Do you want to ask, can you ask now?

    Finally, she made up her mind and pressed the phone, closing one eye and staring nervously at the phone screen with the other.

    There was a “ding, bell,” and almost a moment later, the phone was connected.

    “Wen Wen…” Gu Man’s cold and hoarse voice came, like sandpaper rubbing against his ears.

    Wen Mian sighed and suddenly didn’t know what to say.

    Probably sensing Wen Mian’s embarrassment, Gu Man spoke first: “I’m fine. I just took the inhibitor.”

    Inhibitors?Wen Mian felt relieved slightly, then frowned, “Does it hurt?”

    ———————–

    The author has something to say: Haha, the opportunity for close contact that was finally obtained was interrupted by the susceptible period, and Manman was really angry!!!

    Is it possible that this is a trick that failed and was punished instead?

    But it doesn’t matter, daughter Manman, mommy promises you that you can eat until you are full [touching head]

    Mang Mang (a chill running down his spine): No!(Turns around to see Mianmian)

    She smiled awkwardly, it was Mianmian, it wasn’t me who said that just now, it really wasn’t me![Shut up]

    Forget it, you two can discuss it among yourselves. It’s not good for your mother to get involved [Spread Flowers]

    Note
