Incurable Chapter 25 Part 1

The movie ended, and the two left the theater. At nine o’clock in the evening, the movie theater was also deserted. The movie ended, and the two left the theater. At nine o’clock in the evening, the movie theater was also empty.

Liu Qianxiu was still behind her when he first came out of the movie theater, and now he walked to her side. Mu Wan looked at him sideways, his expression was as usual, and his dark eyes did not look tired.

When he was in the movie theater, he slept all the time. When Mu Wan was on the screen, he opened his eyes and looked at it for a while. After seeing it, he closed his eyes again.

Wake up to see you.

The popcorn sweetness filled her nose, and Mu Wan bit her lower lip and laughed.

“How did you come here?” The two of them walked outside the movie theater. The road was divided into two paths, one toward the elevator and the underground parking lot and the other to the shopping mall exit.

Liu Qianxiu stopped, looked at Mu Wan, and replied, “Take a taxi.”

He had just finished the surgery and was so tired that he fell asleep, so he should have had no energy to drive. Mu Wan looked up at him. Most of the popcorn in her arms had been eaten by herself because Liu Qianxiu didn’t like this kind of secondary processing thing, so he didn’t touch any of them.

“You haven’t eaten yet.” Mu Wan confirmed him. She looked at the shopping mall and saw that the movie theater floor was almost full of restaurants. “Do you want to have something to eat here? You don’t have to make dinner when you return home today. I think you are so tired too.”

The lights of the movie theater were jumping in Mu Wan’s eyes. Liu Qianxiu looked down at the popcorn bucket in her hand and asked, “Are you hungry?”

Mu Wan, who held the popcorn bucket with her fingers curled slightly. She looked at Liu Qianxiu with her stomach full of popcorn and said honestly, “I’m not hungry anymore.”

“I prefer to go home.” Liu Qianxiu faintly refused.

When people are too tired, they don’t have any appetite and only want to rest. She does this every time she stays up late to shoot. Thinking of this, Mu Wan nodded and said, “Then I will take you home.”

This time Liu Qianxiu did not refuse, Mu Wan followed him, and the two went out of the shopping mall together. After taking a taxi outside the mall, Mu Wan told the driver the destination. When she looked back, Liu Qianxiu had already closed his eyes again.

After arriving at Liu Qianxiu’s home, Liu Qianxiu went directly back to his bedroom while Mu Wan fed the three little ones with milk and added food for Zhou Yi. After cleaning up, Mu Wan did not stay overnight, but she went out and returned home.

Yesterday’s filming schedule was canceled, or Mu Wan would have to shoot all night. Her next scene was to be shot in the early morning, so she must get up early and go to the filming location.

The day before yesterday’s heavy rain had drenched the hot air, but the hot air had returned within a day. Even in the early morning hours, it was still hot and stuffy.

Mu Wan’s drama is now an ancient one. She has been in a supporting role for many years, and her role is almost fixed. Because of her graceful figure and neat movements, she generally played the role of beating the female lead in ancient dramas. When the drama is complicated, she will act as the female lead’s doglegs, and if the drama isn’t complex, she will play the female assassin who assassinates the heroine. In modern drama, she will play a white lotus, who usually acts with the male lead and is the kind of character she was in yesterday’s movie.

On the other hand, in the summer, Mu Wan likes to act in modern drama. Women need to dress neatly in ancient drama, and they are all black clothes made of acrylic fiber. Their wrists, ankles, and necks were covered, so their clothes were airtight and sweaty. The hair was also more comfortable in ancient drama and could have a high ponytail.

It stands to reason that the filming of Mu Wan today started in the early morning hours, but she changed her clothes and put on makeup when she arrived at the crew, and it was ten o’clock in the morning. The sun is getting hotter and hotter, and Mu Wan, dressed in black, feels about to be burned even in the shade.

She raised her eyes and looked at the crew. There were three shooting locations, and the shooting was in full swing. Gao Mei went out to shoot a scene, and no one was there to talk with her, so Mu Wan opened another round of Plants vs. Zombies.

She waits another hour, and it’s almost noon. Mu Wan put away her mobile phone and didn’t wait any longer. Although she is a supporting role, it is common for her to wait to take the scene. But this situation now is still relatively rare. She will continue waiting here if the drama or movie scene is still filmed. But she would find Liu Qianxiu for lunch if it wasn’t shot.

Most of Mu Wan’s scenes were shot by the assistant director, and the chief director was the lead director when she played against the protagonist occasionally. She crossed the crowd and stood under the sun, watching the shooting of the last scene finish. When the shooting was over, Mu Wan called the assistant director.

The assistant director of this drama is a fat man who can’t stand the heat in summer. The sleeves of his T-shirt are rolled up to the shoulders and turned into a vest. Now he is drenched with sweat.

Seeing Mu Wan come to ask, his heavy eyebrows wrinkled, and the flesh on his face was horizontal. He glanced at the little assistant behind him and asked: “What’s going on? Her part was deleted without notice?”

She understands most of it with one sip of the corners of Mu Wan’s lips.

The little assistant glanced at the assistant director with a timid expression. Then he looked at Mu Wan and explained, “At that time, I went to find her, but I couldn’t find her. There were too many actors.”

She had been sitting there for a long time, wearing black clothes, saying that she could not find it was just a prevarication. Mu Wan smiled at the assistant and asked: “Is there no scene for me this morning?”

The assistant quickly said down the steps: “No, it’s deleted.”

In that case, Mu Wan had nothing to say. She greeted the assistant director: “Then the director, I will go first.”

The assistant director looked her up and down and waved his hand. Mu Wan turned around and walked out of the crew.

She had been shooting for several years, and her life in the production was peaceful and uneventful. It is not that she has never waited for filming, nor is she forgotten by the assistant director. But today, Mu Wan always feels that it is different from usual.

She thought of Mu Qing again.

Mu Wan twisted her eyebrows slightly and got up to change her costume.

Since her part has been deleted, she has no scenes to shoot today. After changing the costume, Mu Wan’s body was sweaty, and her fair skin flushed with sullenness. After rubbing it twice, she went to the bathroom to wash her face and walked out of the photography base.

When she arrived at the shooting site of a modern drama, Mu Wan stopped. She looked up at the woman drinking ice water under the umbrella, pressed her lower lip slightly, and walked in.

Mi Yu saw Mu Wan first. She was wearing sunglasses and a sun hat. She did not believe she could block the ultraviolet rays under the scorching sun like this, even under the umbrella. The face of the actress is a symbol. It’s not good when she gets old and dark, so she carefully uses sun protection. It is so rare that people could walk under the sun wearing tank tops and shorts like Mu Wan.

But she looks good-looking like this, slim and tall. Her exposed skin is white, tender, delicate, slender, and eye-catching. She had just washed her face, and her eyes seemed to have been washed too, dark and shiny. Seeing Mi Yu looking over, Mu Wan smiled at her, her lips like honey.

“Sister Yu, my lord.” Mu Wan greeted Mi Yu, then looked at Li Nan, who wrote the script beside Mi Yu.
