    Chapter 40 Trapped in a dilemma I am…

    After waking up naturally after a long sleep, Wen Mian slowly opened his still hazy eyes, yawned and stretched.

    She turned on her phone and took a look, then patted her head in annoyance, asking you to catch up on the drama, okay now, you got up late!I wonder what Gu Man is doing now?

    Wen Mian put on her slippers, finished washing quickly, and ran downstairs without even changing into her pajamas.

    When her eyes caught sight of Gu Man’s back, Wen Mian slowed down. She walked forward and sat on the single sofa next to Gu Man. Then she looked at her and said, “I accidentally got up late today.”

    Gu Man’s brows softened, and she comforted in a low voice, “This is your right, you don’t need to explain it to me.”

    As she said that, she stood up, took out the red date milk oatmeal that had been kept warm in the microwave, and placed it on the table in front of Wen Mian, “Although it’s almost lunch time, breakfast is very important, so I’ll fill my stomach a little.”

    She sat back on the sofa in the middle, only this time she was closer to Wen Mian.

    Wen Mian picked up a spoon and drank it slowly, then asked curiously: “Hehehe, where are they?”

    Gu Man’s hand holding the script couldn’t help but clenched tightly. There was a dark and turbulent light in his half-shielded eyes. It was Zhang Yunxi again!Is it possible that Wenwen wants to stay with her for the rest of her life?

    No!Impossible!Wenwen promised herself!

    She has to believe in Wenwen!

    Believe in Wenwen!

    But…

    Why are there always people pestering Wenwen?

    Why should I show her the warm eyes, glances, and smiles?

    Wen Wen…

    Why can’t everything about Wenwen be given to her alone?

    As if his whole person was split in half, Gu Man suppressed the dark and shameful thoughts in his heart, no!no!Don’t think like that!Wenwen will be scared!

    Finally, she succeeded.

    Gu Man replied softly in a low voice: “They went out to pick vegetables.”

    Wen Mian said “Oh” and didn’t ask any more questions. He quietly held the bowl and drank his red date oatmeal porridge.

    Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Wen Mian obediently drinking porridge. Gu Man raised the corners of his mouth, and his dark emotions were swept away.

    After finishing the porridge, Wen Mian just put down the bowl and planned to go to the kitchen to wash up.

    Gu Man, who had been watching her from the corner of his eye, immediately took action, took the bowl, stood up, stared at Wen Mian, and asked softly: “Do you want to come together?”

    Wen Mian, who stared blankly at Gu Man’s series of actions, wanted to reply: Did you give me a choice?

    However, for the sake of his own bowl, Wen Mian stood up and said, “Okay.”

    Gu Man chuckled secretly and fell half a step behind Wen Mian. Seeing her jumping up and down, his hands felt itchy.

    Cute, like a kitten.

    She moved her fingertips, wanting to smooth her hair like she did in a small town, but considering the way the two of them got along for a long time, she had no choice but to give up.

    Wen Mian leaned against the door and watched Gu Man wash the dishes. It seemed like everything was back to before. A warm atmosphere enveloped Gu Man. She couldn’t help but want this time to last longer.

    But no matter how slow it was, the bowl was finally washed. Gu Man wiped the bowl dry and put it in the cabinet, looking sideways at Wen Mian.

    Wen Mian crossed her arms with soft eyes. Seeing Gu Man suddenly looking at her, she was stunned for a moment, then straightened up and said softly: “Thank you.”

    Gu Man tightened her fingers and the tissue was pulled into two pieces. The ends of her eyes were slightly red and she said in a hoarse voice, “Don’t say this.”

    Wen Mian was stunned, and his expression immediately became confused, wasn’t it?I didn’t say anything?

    She comforted her anxiously: “Okay, okay, I won’t tell you, so don’t cry!”

    Gu Man’s lowered eyes immediately stared at Wen Mian and said hoarsely, “I’m not crying.”

    There were just a few tiny tears on her eyelashes, and the small mole at the corner of her eye was covered with red.

    Wen Mian didn’t argue with her at this time and nodded eagerly, “You’re not crying. I said the wrong thing.”

    Gu Man still shook his head, “You didn’t say anything wrong.”

    Wen Mian sighed helplessly. She wanted to make Gu Man laugh, “Well, can you wipe it off? Are you not afraid of fans’ jokes?”

    Gu Man gently wiped the corners of his eyes.

    Seeing that Gu Man returned to normal, Wen Mian breathed a sigh of relief and waved, “Let’s go and watch TV together.”

    Gu Man followed immediately and whispered, “Don’t be afraid.”

    I’m just afraid you’ll ignore me.

    Her voice was kept low so that Wen Mian could not hear it.

    .

    The audience in the live broadcast room were first shocked by this scene, then their eyes widened, and then fell silent.

    Especially fans, they have mixed feelings.

    [It seems that Manman is really trapped…]

    [Plus, this is the first time I’ve seen Manman look like this in the past three years.】

    [Same, it was the first time I saw Manman cry, and I’ll be honest with you—I always thought Manman had facial paralysis.】

    [Although it’s a bit sad, sister, what you say is so funny, but I think so too.】

    [Although I am a Wei fan, as long as Manman is happy, I can accept Wen Mian.】

    【Me too, I just want to be happy.】

    This time, it was not the cp fans who were the first to comment. Instead, uncharacteristically, it was Gu Man’s fans who spoke up and recognized Wen Mian.

    [Wow, you guys really touched me. It turns out that sentence is true – if you are happy first, we will shed tears for you.】

    [Manguang is a good fan baby, I will thank you for the rest of my life for Gu Mian.】

    [Plus one, I almost cried to death.】

    There was a peaceful atmosphere on the barrage, and many passers-by were moved to leave. Wen Mian’s number of fans suddenly increased exponentially, and Gu Man’s number of fans also increased a lot.

    The most obvious increase is of course the CP fans of the two.

    After watching TV for a while, Zhang Yunxi and four others walked in from the door, with a little bit of mud still on their shoes.

    Seeing Wen Mian sitting on the single sofa next to Gu Man, Zhang Yunxi immediately widened his eyes and shook his head twice to signal, “How about it?”How is it?

    Wen Mian gave a small thumbs up and blinked his eyes, indicating that it was very good and the effect was remarkable.

    Zhang Yunxi smiled secretly and replied with a like: As expected of you.

    .

    After lunch, Zhong Li finally started to issue tasks.

    “Today is the second day after we arrived in Qingjiang. As we all know, Qingjiang is most famous for its mountains and porcelain, so you are going to experience the making of porcelain.”

    Zhang Yunxi said “Oh yeah”, full of energy, “That’s great, it can just make a bowl for my dog.”

    Wang Mo also frowned, “Then I’ll make myself a teacup.”

    Mu Ya and Su Shiqiu nodded, looking equally expectant.

    Wen Mian glanced at Gu Man from the corner of his eye and asked, “Do you want to make another porcelain?”

    With different thoughts, everyone came to the porcelain shop.

    Celadon has a warm touch, like the sky after rain; colored porcelain has beautiful colors and exquisite lines, each with its own beauty.

    Wen Mian quietly admired the various porcelains in the store and thought about what she wanted to do, a cup?Seems pretty good too.

    The boss, wearing an apron and smelling faintly of celadon, walked up to a few people.

    “What do you want to do? We can make cups, small bowls, and vases here.”

    Wen Mian glanced sideways at Gu Man and finally decided, “Can I make two cups?”

    The boss smiled and replied: “Of course you can, but the speed may be a bit slow.”

    Wen Mian shook his head and replied, “It doesn’t matter.”

    Gu Man quickly made up his mind, “Small bowl.”

    After everyone made their choices, the boss led everyone to the prepared clay and taught everyone how to knead the clay to exhaust air.

    The clay is not very soft and it takes a lot of effort to knead it, but in order to avoid cracking later, everyone kneads it as hard as possible.

    After kneading, place the clay ball on the turntable, wet your hands, and start pressing to make it the desired shape.

    Wen Mian stared at the clay in his hand with all his concentration, fearing that he might accidentally ruin it.

    It wasn’t until the shape of a cup came out that she quickly picked up the spatula to modify it, and then she glanced at Gu Man from the corner of her eye.

    Gu Man also lowered his eyes and carefully smoothed the surface with a scraper. Wen Mian smiled softly and looked away.

    Soon, one cup was finished and handed to the boss. Wen Mian continued to put in the next cup.

    After making the cup, just as the soil dries, everyone moves to the table to draw pictures.

    It is not difficult for Wen Mian to choose the pattern. The main difficulty lies in the shaping process. Now he only needs to fill in the handle, cherry and cup as a whole.

    She filled in colors quietly, never forgetting to look at Gu Man.

    The small bowl Gu Man made also comes with a spoon. The upper part of the spoon is shaped like a cherry blossom. The rim of the small bowl is wavy and decorated with two cherry blossoms. The overall color is pink and tender, which looks very beautiful.

    Wen Mian’s eyebrows raised into a smile, and his eyes fell on the warm green cup in front of him with a flower-shaped rim, and he began to wonder what it would look like when burned.

    After filling in the colors and reluctantly handing the things to the boss, the program team took a few people to eat special dishes.

    After spending the entire afternoon painting porcelain paintings, everyone felt very hungry and ate quickly to fill their stomachs.

    Back at the villa, Wen Mian’s excitement turned into quietness, and her face turned pale.

    Motion sickness is really uncomfortable.Wen Mian collapsed and felt like vomiting, and lay limply on the sofa.

    Gu Man’s eyebrows were full of distress, and he silently poured a glass of warm water and handed her the motion sickness medicine.

    Wen Mian took the warm water, raised her hand, and swallowed the motion sickness medicine. Then she raised her head and asked curiously, “Where did you get the motion sickness medicine?”

    Gu Man slowly sat next to her and replied, “I bought it just now. Do you feel better now?”

    Still dizzy.Wen Mian replied in her mind, but seeing Gu Man’s worried expression, she shook her head and said, “Much better, thank you…thank you.”

    Originally she wanted to say thank you, but when she thought of the kitchen promise to Gu Man, she immediately changed her tune.

    Gu Man raised the corners of his mouth slightly, his eyes gentle.

    Wen Mian lay quietly on the pillow, facing the back of the sofa, with a smile on his face.

    After a while, the motion sickness medicine took effect and he gradually stopped feeling dizzy. Wen Mian stood up and glanced sideways at Gu Man.

    Her eyelids were covered with a layer of light blue-grey, as if she had not slept well last night. She closed her eyes at this moment, and her eyelashes cast shadows under her eyes. Her back was lightly leaning on the sofa, but her brows were frowning slightly, as if she was encountering a difficult problem.

    Wen Mian felt a little distressed and wanted to smooth her frowned eyebrows. He gently raised his arm and hung it between her eyebrows, never letting go.

    Finally, Wen Mian breathed a sigh of relief and chose to give up.

    She retracted her hand and turned to look at her phone without taking any action.

    .

    The red light of the camera flashed, recording this scene quietly.

    The audience in the live broadcast room anxiously wanted to jump into the screen and shake Gu Man awake.

    [Sister Gu, Mianmian feels sorry for you!Did you see it?!】

    【I’m so anxious!Why is there such a conflict?】

    [That’s right, they obviously have each other in their hearts!】

    The hands of the clock clicked twice. Gu Mian slowly opened her eyes. When she realized something, she turned to look at Wen Mian eagerly.

    Sensing Gu Man’s gaze, Wen Mian raised her eyes and said, “Let’s go upstairs and rest.”

    Staring at her restored rosy complexion, Gu Man’s eagerly tightened hands gradually loosened, but his heart felt astringent because of her distant and almost cold tone, just like the weather outside was covered with a layer of gray cloth.

    She nodded softly, “Okay.”

    Wen Mian stood up first and walked in front of her, saying nothing until her hand was on the doorknob.

    “Good night.” Wen Mian said suddenly.

    A smile appeared in the corner of Gu Man’s eyes, and he hummed, “Good night, sweet dreams.”

    Wen Mian pushed open the door and took one last look at Gu Man before closing the door, tightening his fingers.

    With a “click” sound, the door was closed.

    The corners of Gu Man’s raised eyes suddenly dimmed. She stared at the door for a few minutes and then slowly walked back to the room.

    Wen Mian felt similarly unhappy, and she forced herself to ignore Gu Man.

    Sitting on the bed, Wen Mian looked down at her phone, but her thoughts had already flown away. She seemed very sad, or else forget it?

    As soon as the idea came to his mind, his phone suddenly vibrated. Wen Mian was startled, and after a quick glance, he answered the call.

    “Mianmian, how have you been feeling these past two days?” Xu Qing asked cautiously.

    “It’s okay, what’s the matter?” Wen Mian wondered, could it be that she was watching the live broadcast?

    Xu Qing replied: “Okay, I’m watching the live broadcast is about to end, and I’m thinking about whether to give you another variety show to increase your exposure.”

    Wen Mian lowered her eyelashes and asked, “What kind of variety show is it? Will it coincide with film and television shooting?”

    Xu Qing waved her hand: “Don’t worry, it won’t happen. We still focus on filming. The variety show is based on scripts and reasoning, and it has a good reputation.”

    Wen Mian thought for a moment and said, “Okay, let’s make up the previous clip first.”

    Xu Qing’s tone suddenly became happy, “Hey, this is right. We still have to focus on our career. If you don’t talk about it anymore, I will go and arrange the contract for you.”

    Saying that, Xu Qing hung up the phone excitedly.

    Wen Mian chuckled lightly, but when Xu Qing interrupted her, her previous mood disappeared.

    She turned on the music and took a hot bath while listening to the music.

    The moon is on the branches, and another night has passed.

    After eating the breakfast prepared by Gu Man, Wen Mian glanced outside the small courtyard, thought for a while, and walked out quietly.

    The sky is still covered with a layer of fog, and the pressure is very low, as if it is swallowing everything up. It is really not a good weather.

    Wen Mian walked around the villa quietly, admiring the scenery along the way. The unknown flowers on both sides of the mountain road were blooming freely. It might have rained in the middle of the night, and there were still dewdrops on them, making them so beautiful.

    Wen Mian couldn’t help but purse the corners of his mouth, and his eyes were filled with a gentle smile.

    “Wen Mian.” Mu Ya came from the opposite corner and said in surprise.

    Wen Mian raised his eyes and replied: “Mu Ya, I thought you didn’t get up?”

    Mu Ya shook her head, “I got up two hours ago, but you, why did you suddenly want to come out?”

    “Breathe some fresh air.” Wen Mian smiled.

    Mu Ya nodded suddenly, swaying her feet back and forth slightly. She hesitated for two seconds, and finally chose to speak, “Do you want to come together?”

    Wen Mian was stunned for a moment, then repeated her words: “Together?”

    Mu Ya hummed and pointed behind her in a panic, “There are many flowers on the sidewalk in front. We can go look at them together.”

    Wen Mian stared at her for a few seconds. Mu Ya’s face was a little shy, but she didn’t seem to have bad intentions. She was a little confused, what’s the matter?Instead of pestering Gu Man, she came to find herself?

    Wen Mian shook his head and refused, “Didn’t you just come down from above? You don’t need to watch it with me again.”

    To be honest, she didn’t want to get too close to Mu Ya.

    Mu Ya’s eyes dimmed and she nodded in despair, “Okay then, bye.”

    “Bye bye.” Wen Mian waved her right hand and replied.

    The two of them were walking backwards from each other, and soon staggered around the bend, out of sight.

    After continuing to climb up for a while, I saw the sea of ​​flowers that Mu Ya mentioned. Red, pink, yellow… all kinds of colors, it was simply dazzling.

    Wen Mian took out his cell phone and took pictures on the left and right, his eyes narrowed with joy.

    It didn’t last long, and Wen Mian was defeated by the sudden power outage and shutdown of his mobile phone. Wen Mian said a somewhat speechless “Ah”.

    She put away her phone and sighed silently. If she had known better, she would have fully charged it before taking it out.

    The phone’s battery was out of battery, and Wen Mian didn’t intend to stay here any longer, so he turned around and started walking back.

    When I was going up the mountain, I didn’t feel like it was a long time while listening to the music. Now that my phone was out of battery when I was going down the mountain, Wen Mian suddenly felt that the road was really long.

    The house leaked and it rained all night, and there was a “bang” of thunder, which instantly lit up the increasingly dark sky.

    Wen Mian cursed secretly in his mind, what a crazy weather!

    Her pace quickened, and she kept praying in her heart: Don’t fall, don’t fall!Wait until she returns to the villa before leaving.

    God did not listen to her prayers. After several thunders, dense raindrops fell like broken pearls. In an instant, Wen Mian was reduced to a drowned rat.

    Wen Mian’s mood became even worse. She covered her head with one hand and ran down the mountain quickly.

    But this had no effect, the sky was streaked by lightning, and the rain became heavier and heavier.

    Wen Mian’s hair was close to his scalp and stuck to his cheeks. His eyelashes were also wet and he couldn’t even open his eyes. The road in front of him seemed to be separated by a layer of water-shaped glass, making it impossible to see clearly.

    The clothes stuck to the body, dripping water constantly, and he was in a miserable state.

    It’s okay, I finally saw the beautiful scenery. Wen Mian was enjoying the pain and comforted himself in a low voice.

    With a low cry of “Hiss-“, Wen Mian fell onto the rain-covered rubber floor, clutching her ankles tightly.

    Sharp pain swept through her nerves. Wen Mian couldn’t help but frown and bite her lower lip tightly.

    After taking a few deep breaths, Wen Mian carefully let go of the place he was holding. His ankle was dazzlingly red and swollen around it. He felt a bone-chilling pain at the slightest movement.

    Wen Mian gave up the idea of ​​continuing to use it. She twisted her arm and looked down at her bruised and bruised elbow. The cold rain washed away the blood drops that kept flowing out. The ground around her was stained with blood red.

    Wen Mian let out a low “hiss”, feeling the shock and pain throughout his body, and couldn’t help but cursed: “Damn it!”

    She pushed herself down with her uninjured left hand, raised her body slightly, and at the same time exerted strength on her left foot, enduring the pain, and stood up tremblingly.

    “Huh…” Wen Mian exhaled heavily, as if she had used all her strength to stand up.

    Pausing on the spot, Wen Mian endured the severe pain just now, hunched over and moved into the mountain step by step. She didn’t stop until she could reach the mountain wall.

    Rain was poured down from the sky, making people feel dizzy. Wen Mian took a strong breath and moved forward step by step.

    She secretly hypnotized herself, fearing that she would lose her mind and faint and fall asleep. This was all a small problem!You’ve been through a lot before, so that’s okay.

    The mountain road ahead was winding and winding, as if there was no end in sight. She was left alone in the mountains and wilderness.

    .

    When the thunder sounded, Gu Man was the first to notice Wen Mian’s absence.

    At first she thought Wen Mian had gone upstairs to rest, so she quickly ran upstairs and knocked on the door.

    No one answered, and the thunder outside was loud, making people’s hearts beat fast.

    Gu Man pushed open the door suddenly and glanced around the room, but there was no sign of Wen Mian.

    The previously light rosewood aroma suddenly became aggressive and oppressive.

    Her fingertips clenched the doorknob, turning white from the force. She immediately realized: Wenwen was still outside!

    As soon as she ran downstairs, she saw Mu Ya who was looking panicked. Gu Man had a bad feeling in her heart. She took a step forward and her pheromones hit Mu Ya.

    Mu Ya felt oppressed and suffocated, but she didn’t care at the moment. She said anxiously, “Gu Man, Wen Mian just went to enjoy the flowers and hasn’t come back yet.”

    Lightning crackled the sky outside, and the sky became increasingly gloomy, with no trace of sunlight in sight.

    Gu Man’s jaw tightened. She ignored Mu Ya and ran out the door.

    Mu Ya suddenly collapsed on the ground, sweat dripping down her back. Seeing Gu Man’s back getting further and further away, she quickly shouted, “Wen Mian went to the right!”

    Gu Man paused for half a second, and quickly rushed into the rain. The heavy rain poured down on her, and soon there was no trace of her.

    Mu Ya took a breath, then stood up and ran to find Zhang Yunxi and the others, praying in her heart: Wen Mian, be sure nothing happens to you!

    The live broadcast room fell into chaos, and they asked in disbelief.

    【Who?Who is missing?】

    [Woo, my Mianmian, why are you so unlucky? The program team needs to go find her quickly!】

    [That is, if something happens to my Mianmian, you and I will be at odds with each other!】

    [With such heavy rain, Mianmian… Mianmian must be fine!】

    At this moment, human lives were involved. Fans and passers-by were holding their hands tightly, hoping that nothing happened to Wen Mian.

    My mind became increasingly dizzy, my vision became blurry, and my thoughts gradually became confused.

    “Wen Wen! Wen Mian!”

    Wen Mian’s heart skipped a beat and she suddenly raised her eyes, but there was no figure of Gu Man in front of her.

    She lowered her head in frustration, yes, why is Gu Man here, it’s raining so heavily.

    But it felt like I had eaten a piece of bitter melon in my mouth, and the bitter taste lingered all the way into my heart.

    Wen Mian felt that the corners of his eyes were burning, and the tip of his nose was astringent, making him unable to breathe.

    “Wen Wen! Wen Mian!” The hoarse voice came again, accompanied by the shouts of Wang Mo, Zhang Yunxi and others.

    Wen Mian’s eyes suddenly lit up, it was Gu Man!It’s them!

    “I’m here!” Wen Mian shouted with all his strength.

    Then he coughed twice and said in a hoarse voice, “I’m…”

    Note
