C19 Fear
As a substitute actress, Qiao Zhirann did not show her face. She only revealed half of her body. Without hesitation, she jumped down.
At that moment, the feeling of suffocation hit her face. There were water stains all around her. She hugged herself tightly and kept kicking her legs.
The surrounding water surged towards him, making her unable to react in time. She closed her eyes tightly.
She tried her best to ease her breath and kept climbing upwards. She held her breath, feeling like she was going to die of lack of oxygen.
Then, she grabbed the life buoy tightly and lay there motionless, breathing heavily.
She thought that she could challenge her limits, but now it seemed that everything was just wishful thinking.
She could not do it at all. Her breathing became exceptionally heavy, and her brows also furrowed tightly.
She weakly climbed out of the water and Koo Qing quickly ran in front of her. She wrapped the blanket around her body.
"I told you not to act tough. I'll tell the director now that we're not shooting anymore!"
"It's just a small wound and it's going to heal soon. Why doesn't Jee Susu go into the water herself? If it's like this, the female lead can just give it to you!"
Koo Qing could not stand Jee Susu's arrogant and despotic look. If it was not for Huo Bailee, she would not be as proud as she was today. How could she be so proud of herself?
When she just stood up, her wrist was tightly grabbed by someone.
Qiao Zhirann finally broke free from her fear. She raised her hand and casually wiped her face. Her face was full of resistance as she looked at her and gently shook her head. Her delicate brows were also tightly knitted.
"Don't go over. This will offend the director. It doesn't matter. " I can try again. "
When Qiao Zhirann slowly stood up, her legs went soft. Because she did not sleep well yesterday, she felt dizzy and dizzy.
Especially when she looked at the blue water surface. She felt a wave of fear in her heart. It was like a raging storm that kept blowing against her face.
"This one won't do. The substitute actor will add another one!"
The director took the loudspeaker and shouted again. Qiao Zhirann clenched her fists and bit her lower lip slightly. There was a hint of determination in her eyes and then more fear. But when the sunlight shone on her body, it made her appear even whiter and more radiant.
She tried her best to calm down and make herself less nervous.
Huo Bailee had already rushed to the production crew. As for why he wanted to go, he did not know how he felt.
Perhaps it was because Qiao Zhirann had helped him a little bit last night to cover him with the blanket.
"Director Huo, why did we suddenly go to the set? There will be another meeting later."
Special Assistant Xu did not understand. Ever since Huo Bailee invested in this project, he had never cared about it. Wasn't he investing in this project for Miss Jee?
"This is a project invested by Huo's Group. Why don't you follow it up? No one has reported to me. Is this how you guys do things?"
Hearing this, Special Assistant Xu realized that he had said something wrong. He had really picked up a rock and smashed his own feet.
He bit his lower lip as a look of annoyance flashed across his face.
"If you need someone to follow up on this project in the future, remember to report to me if there's any situation."
Huo Bailee arrived at the set after he finished speaking. He walked over in big strides. When Director Xu Wei saw him, he was also stunned for a moment.
Obviously, he did not realize that Huo Bailee would come over. He could not help but look at Jee Susu in surprise.
"Director Huo, why did you come all of a sudden?"
Huo Bailee glanced at him with an indifferent expression. A sneer appeared on his face. He put his hands into his pockets and said in a low voice, "This is an investment project of Huo's Corporation. Is there anything wrong with me coming here to follow up on it? Or is it that Director Xu said that you can take care of it by yourself?"
Huo Bailee was a good person when it came to people. He was always casual, and there was no way for him to back off.
When Xu Wei heard this, he immediately broke out in cold sweat. He nodded repeatedly, afraid that he would offend this wealthy person.
Qiao Zhirann was in a nervous state. She did not know that Huo Bailee would come. After treating it as a psychological construction, she quickly jumped again.
With a splash, Huo Bailee saw a familiar water figure. He jumped into the water decisively.
That scene made him feel very familiar. It was as if he had seen it somewhere before. Then, he could not remember. A faint headache gradually came over, making him frown slightly.
"Qiao Zhirann!"
Jee Susu saw everything that happened to him and her expression that was unclear fell on the woman who fell into the water. She could not help but clench her hands.
Compared to the first fear, the second time was more intense. Qiao Zhirann did not know what to do and even forgot to breathe. She struggled desperately.
Huo Bailee clearly felt that something was wrong, but the people beside him had been watching coldly. No one interfered.
Without thinking, he took off his coat and jumped into the pool. He hugged her slim waist and dragged her up.
When the camera zoomed in, the two of them appeared as beautiful as a painting.
Qiao Zhirann's face was stained with water and her hands pressed on his shoulders. She lightly shook her hair and tossed it to the side.
Then she saw Huo Bailee's resolute face carrying a faint sense of familiarity. She did not know if it was an illusion.
"Director Huo... why are you here?"
Qiao Zhirann was very surprised. She did not know why he would suddenly come over.
"Is this how you work?"
Huo Bailee deeply felt that this woman clearly wanted money and did not care about her life. She almost drowned in the water and no one helped her.
"I'm sorry."
Qiao Zhirann did not know what she did wrong. She just apologized instinctively. Maybe it was because Huo Bailee saved her. His impression of this man gradually increased.
"Come up first."
Huo Bailee held her with both hands and slowly placed her on the edge of the pool. Then, he pushed his hands and sat on the pool with his whole body covered in water.
When Koo Qing saw Huo Bailee, she was also very surprised. When everyone saw her, they were all shocked. They did not expect that General Huo would personally save a woman.
"blanket!"
There was a strong sense of impatience in her tone. Were these people so blind?
The group of people were just in shock and did not react. The staff quickly came to his side with a blanket. Then he covered Qiao Zhirann with the blanket and wrapped her up.
"Are you not feeling well?"
Huo Bailee narrowed his eyes dangerously and looked at her trembling body. His face was pale and transparent. He looked weak and helpless. He was a sick kitten.
