Chapter 107: The Duck That Was Within Grasp Took Flight
Just received a call from Yang Xiaomi, saying that Su Bai should go to the airport to pick her up.
There was a scene that needed to be shot at the Bund.
Fortunately, when the company secured its first project, they had already arranged enough vehicles.
Seeing a tall, fully equipped woman emerge from the airport, Su Bai immediately recognized her as Yang Xiaomi.
Those long, slender legs seemed to be her signature.
After recognizing Yang Xiaomi, Su Bai had looked up a great deal of information about her online.
Seeing Yang Xiaomi now, a phrase popped into Su Bai’s mind: "The Fashion Queen of the Entertainment Industry."
Judging by Yang Xiaomi’s stylish outfit at that moment, Su Bai felt the title was entirely deserved.
Yang Xiaomi seemed born to wear clothes; the cool blouse couldn’t hide her proud figure.
With a casually draped shawl, an air of sophistication instantly emerged.
Su Bai smiled brightly, watching Yang Xiaomi until she got into the car.
Yang Xiaomi seemed to notice Su Bai’s gaze and teased, “First time meeting? Do you have to stare so intently?”
“Xiaomi, I have to say, I’ve never observed you this closely before!”
“Watching you stroll over from afar with that aura and style—it’s just incredible!”
“It’s hard to look away!”
Yang Xiaomi removed her oversized sunglasses, took off her mask, and lifted her hat, casually brushing her hair back with an indescribable charm.
“Stop flattering me!!!”
As she pulled out sunscreen, she began applying it to her long legs.
Su Bai couldn’t help but wonder, “How do you maintain such a figure?”
“Where I need to be slim, I’m slim; where I need to have curves, well...”
Yang Xiaomi bent forward, looked back meaningfully at Su Bai with a playful smile.
“What about the places you need curves?”
That fleeting glimpse beneath her cool blouse made Su Bai’s mind wander uncontrollably.
He quickly averted his eyes.
“Ahem, it’s nothing. Let’s go…”
“Pfft~~~”
“Seriously, Su Bai, can’t you be a bit more ambitious?”
“I’ve shown you when I was down to just my underwear before, and now you’re embarrassed?”
Su Bai was about to deny ever seeing her like that, then suddenly realized Yang Xiaomi was talking about the time at the swimming pool.
Wearing a swimsuit was basically like being in underwear, wasn’t it?
Su Bai hastily changed the subject.
“Why does your sci-fi film still need to shoot in Shanghai? Isn’t it all done with post-production?”
“Pfft, you’d believe that? There’s a kissing scene coming up, and I really don’t want to film it with Lin Zifeng. You’re not in Yanjing, so the crew has to come here to Shanghai. I still need your help!”
The vehicle, which had been driving smoothly, suddenly slammed on the brakes!
Su Bai stared at Yang Xiaomi in shock.
“Kissing scene? Me?”
Yang Xiaomi nodded seriously.
“Yang Xiaomi, are you crazy? For a kissing scene, and it’s just a body double’s kiss, you’re bringing the whole crew to Shanghai?”
“Does your crew have money to burn or what?”
“If you have money to spare, give it to me. I’ll fly to Yanjing myself!”
Su Bai was utterly defeated by Yang Xiaomi’s recklessness.
Was this to avoid any slip-ups, or was it because she wanted to kiss herself?
Suddenly, realization dawned on Su Bai, and he looked at Yang Xiaomi in disbelief.
Could it be that she was going to stick out her tongue this time?
Huff... huff... huff...
How could he stand that?
Su Bai’s heartbeat quickened, his breath grew rapid.
Yang Xiaomi couldn’t hold back anymore and burst out laughing.
“Heh heh heh, just kidding. We really are going to shoot at the Bund!”
Su Bai widened his eyes, staring at Yang Xiaomi and murmuring, “Playing with me? That’s funny.”
Yang Xiaomi leaned closer, whispering by his ear, “Su Bai, do you want to kiss me that much?”
Watching her luscious red lips move slightly, her agile tongue gently licking them, Su Bai suddenly swerved the wheel and turned onto a narrow country road.
Halfway down, he slammed on the brakes, bringing the car to a sudden stop.
He looked seriously at Yang Xiaomi, breathless, and said, “Yang Xiaomi, you’re playing with fire, do you know that?”
Heh heh heh...
Yang Xiaomi laughed radiantly, the curves of her body gently trembling.
“Didn’t you notice, Su Bai? Out in the wild, an SUV, just the two of us alone—how wild can you get?”
“I wondered why you didn’t bring a driver. Be honest—did you plan this as soon as you got my call?”
Su Bai didn’t respond but closed the distance between them in an instant.
Looking at the enchanting beauty so close, Su Bai felt he might lose control.
“During the kissing scene, you stuck out your tongue first, and I was always on the defensive!”
“As a man, I have to reclaim that moment, no matter what. Don’t you agree, Yang Xiaomi?”
Yang Xiaomi looked at Su Bai with seductive eyes, her delicate hand lightly resting on his shoulder.
“How do you want to reclaim it? Show me.”
Without hesitation, Su Bai kissed her fiercely.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Someone outside pounded aggressively on the car window.
“Damn it! Are you leaving or what? You’re blocking the road. What are you thinking?”
“Don’t you know cars need to pass here?”
“I’ve been waiting in the car for three minutes!”
Su Bai scrambled away from Yang Xiaomi.
Seeing the person outside, Yang Xiaomi immediately covered her face with her clothes.
Su Bai cracked open the window just a little.
“Sorry, sorry, we’re moving on now!”
With that, the car sped off.
The person banging on the window was left standing there, watching the car vanish.
He muttered, “What the hell? Su Bai and Yang Xiaomi messing around in a car here? So wild?”
After a moment, the man realized, “Damn, why didn’t I record that? It would’ve been a huge hit!”
Even after returning to the main road, Su Bai’s heart was still pounding wildly.
Not even when facing enemies had his heart raced this fast.
After a long time, Su Bai sighed deeply.
Yang Xiaomi looked at him serenely, grinning, and asked, “What’s wrong? Not satisfied?”
Su Bai glanced helplessly at the mischievous woman beside him.
He didn’t even know what to say.
“A little…”
“Hahaha…”
“Who told you to pick such a lousy place? There are so many luxury hotels, and you have to choose some thrill like this…”
“Well, now look at that—the duck’s flown away just as you were about to catch it.”
Su Bai was stunned when she mentioned luxury hotels.
“Hahaha, it’s too late now; there’s only this one chance…”
Watching Yang Xiaomi enter their crew’s hotel, Su Bai felt a complex mix of emotions swelling within him.
