Chapter 202
Zhi Yao had become accustomed to the sensation of being suspended and flying about, as she was frequently hoisted up for scenes.
Jiang Cheng, on the other hand, seemed a bit stiff and awkward. Noticing how smoothly Zhi Yao moved, he couldn't help but look slightly envious.
Floating over to Zhi Yao's side, Jiang Cheng asked, "Could you teach me how to be so calm up here? I feel so clumsy and restricted."
Zhi Yao gave him a cool glance and simply said, "Natural talent."
Jiang Cheng: "..." Was she implying he was stupid?!
Zhi Yao didn't really want to engage with him. She felt that... since this person was on good terms with He Kaiting, they must be cut from the same cloth.
She truly disliked He Kaiting and therefore had no fondness for Jiang Cheng either.
The director, watching them dangle silently overhead for quite some time, finally lost patience. "Alright, if you two have adjusted enough, let's begin."
Zhi Yao nodded, saying, "I'm ready."
Jiang Cheng took a deep breath and also nodded, "Yes, I'm ready too!"
Though he claimed to be prepared, he was actually quite scared inside, and his complexion didn't look too good.
However, as soon as the director called "Action!", Jiang Cheng instantly got into character!
Just moments ago he had been trembling, but now he quickly composed himself.
"Enchantress! You've lured me here, what are you planning to do?"
His expression was serious, his gaze fixed on Zhi Yao as if trying to see right through her.
Zhi Yao curved her lips into a smile, exuding seduction, yet her face remained the picture of innocence. These two extremes blended together, creating an unexpectedly alluring effect.
"What do I plan to do? Why, to spend a passionate night with you, of course."
Her voice lilted upwards as she spoke. Simultaneously, the wire suspending Zhi Yao controlled her movement, bringing her right in front of Jiang Cheng. She raised her hand, gently lifting Jiang Cheng's chin, and breathed softly into his ear, the gesture both delicate and intensely seductive.
At this moment, Jiang Cheng's expression became slightly dazed.
"Come with me..."
Zhi Yao continued to entice him.
"Leave this place with me, I'll take you to a world of ultimate pleasure..."
Her hand slowly slid inside his collar. Finally, Jiang Cheng's expression grew increasingly... entranced.
Just as she was about to succeed, a female voice suddenly called out from behind, "Stop right there!"
Yan Mu, playing the female lead, rushed forward. She held a sharp sword in her hand and charged directly at Zhi Yao. "Stop where you are! You wicked sorceress, you're bewitching people again!"
"Zheng, wake up!" Yan Mu recited her lines, calling out to the character Jiang Cheng was playing - Qin Zheng.
"Zheng! Open your eyes and look! She's that evil enchantress!"
At this moment, an unexpected turn of events occurred. Originally, Yan Mu was supposed to stop here and rescue Qin Zheng first, but...
To her horror, she realized that her wire rigging wouldn't stop!
This...
Yan Mu's eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Zhi Yao. At this point, she completely forgot they were still filming. "Zhi Yao! Quick, get out of the way! I can't control it!"
She also shouted to Jiang Cheng, "Jiang Cheng! Quick! You need to move too!"
Yan Mu was so frightened she even forgot she was holding a sword!
It wasn't until the sword was about to pierce Zhi Yao's body that she suddenly remembered, quickly turning the blade away.
At this moment, Zhi Yao also reacted, abruptly moving towards Jiang Cheng. Jiang Cheng was also scared stiff. He was already afraid of heights, and now with this happening, he became even more panicked and frightened.
"What should we do? What should we do!"
Below, the director and other crew members were in chaos. "What's going on?! Stunt team! Props department! What's happening?!"
Jiang Cheng struggled aimlessly in mid-air, but found he couldn't move!
He used all his strength and finally managed to move, only to realize in horror that his wire had become entangled with Zhi Yao's...
"Ah—"
Over there, Yan Mu was rushing forward at an unstoppable speed, while Zhi Yao and Jiang Cheng, out of control, were hurtling straight towards a prop table.
The prop table was made of solid steel. At their current speed and trajectory, if they crashed into it, they might not die, but they'd certainly break bones!
Zhi Yao raised her hand, about to use her spiritual power to control the situation. At this critical moment, she didn't care about exposure anymore - her life was more important!
But...
For some reason, as soon as she raised her hand, she felt dizzy and lightheaded... as if she were about to pass out.
She struggled to stay conscious, but it was in vain.
The last thing Zhi Yao remembered seeing before losing consciousness was the scenery before her growing larger and larger.
And in her ears, the shocked cries of everyone around, "Oh my god..."
...
When Zhi Yao regained consciousness, she was awakened by noise.
"Pei Chiyao, how exactly were you taking care of my sister?"
"Damn it, I want that film crew to pay for what happened to my sister with their lives!!!"
Another familiar voice rang out, "If Yao Yao isn't cured, I'll make this hospital pay with their lives too!"
Still unable to open her heavy eyelids but feeling utterly exasperated inside, Zhi Yao thought: "..."
"Alright, all of you shut up!" An impatient female voice sounded.
Zhi Yao immediately recognized it as her mother's voice!
Zhi Yi glared at Ling Jue and the other "wolves" in annoyance, saying, "The doctor just came to check on her and said Yao Yao is fine, there's not a single problem."
She didn't even have a scratch on her.
At first, none of them believed it. How could she be completely uninjured in such a dangerous situation?
It wasn't until Zhi Yi carefully examined Zhi Yao's entire body with her spiritual power that they finally believed the doctor's words.
She really hadn't been hurt at all.
This was truly... inconceivable!
After all, the other male actor was still lying in the ICU, with multiple fractures all over his body, and most importantly... his face was ruined.
According to eyewitnesses from the crew, Zhi Yao and he had crashed together, so there was no possibility that Jiang Cheng had cushioned the impact for Zhi Yao.
Moreover, for some reason, when Zhi Yi examined Zhi Yao's body, she seemed to vaguely sense something unusual.
Pei Chiyao stood with a grim expression, looking at Zhi Yao lying on the bed with her eyes tightly shut, lost in thought.
Ling Jue's ears drooped as he looked at the tiny Zhi Yao, his heart aching unbearably.
"No, just to be safe, I need to check again!" he said, raising his hand to carefully examine Zhi Yao's entire body once more.
As he did so, Ling Jue froze in shock.
"Holy shit!" he couldn't help but curse.
This... this couldn't be possible, could it?!
"Zhi Yao, she...?!"
He whipped his head around to look at Pei Chiyao in disbelief.
"Impossible, impossible! I need to look again!"
