Chapter 55

Meanwhile, by the swimming pool,

Ling Ling Weiwei watched the silent figure walking away,

her slightly reddened eyes,

no longer held room for anything else.

Chapter 032: Production Accident! The Protagonist Is Gone!

In the swimming pool, Lu Shu's sudden clothing explosion,

left many people awake that night.

Ling Ling Weiwei was one of them,

sitting on her soft, spacious bedroom bed,

staring blankly at the small scrap of cloth she had carefully preserved,

still carrying the scent of someone's body.

Su Mu was another,

after Lu Shu's clothing explosion,

she swiftly snapped a photo,

showing Lu Shu's side profile,

on his balanced waist, faint scars were visible,

looking at those scars,

she always unconsciously imagined Lu Shu's overseas part-time work.

Her tangled thoughts kept her awake nearly the entire night.

When she woke up the next morning,

unsurprisingly, she had two new dark circles under her eyes,

since filming "Inspiring Youth" Season 3,

this state had become nearly daily,

looking at her pale reflection in the mirror,

Su Mu couldn't help sighing,

"Just because I'm filming that guy Lu Shu,"

"my beauty is declining day by day."

After a quick wash and brush,

she went downstairs,

bought herself a simple breakfast,

thought for a moment,

then bought one for Lu Shu too.

Because she was leaving early today,

when she met up with Lu Shu later,

he'd probably still not have eaten breakfast.

Carrying two bags of breakfast into the car,

Su Mu drove straight to Lu Shu's residential complex entrance, familiar with the route.

Yesterday she had already informed the production team,

to meet early at Lu Shu's front door,

to film footage of his commute to school.

"Sister Su, good morning!"

"Sister Su, did you sleep poorly again last night?"

"Your dark circles are back again..."

When Su Mu arrived,

the production team had already arrived fully equipped.

"Where's Lu Shu? Has he left yet?"

Su Mu's first instinctive question was about Lu Shu.

The production team members shook their heads with smiles,

"Not yet."

"Maybe he slept in a bit today."

Slept in a bit?

Su Mu glanced at her phone,

7:45.

She felt a flicker of strangeness,

that didn't make sense,

Lu Shu usually left at exactly 7:30,

never late.

The production team members nearby didn't seem concerned,

still adjusting their equipment.

"Maybe he's just exhausted from recent part-time work?"

"So oversleeping isn't necessarily the reason."

"It's fine, Sister Su. Being late just happens to be good footage too!"

"We've been filming for so long, and Lu Shu hasn't made a single mistake in front of the camera."

"Thinking about it, it's kind of boring..."

A few of the production crew members smiled knowingly,

The third season had been filming for quite a while now,

And the lead had been so rigorous and serious the whole time,

Not making a single mistake.

It almost felt scripted...

So this time, Lu Shu being late,

Was also a pretty good piece of footage.

He's a college student, after all,

Isn't it perfectly normal to occasionally oversleep and be late?

Now that feels like a real person!

The production crew members all spoke in good-natured, joking tones.

But Su Mu still felt something was off.

"He overslept?"

"Is that even possible..."

In Su Mu's eyes,

Lu Shu was the kind of person whose biological clock was carved into his very bones,

Even relying purely on his body's instinct to the environment,

He would absolutely never oversleep or be late or anything like that.

"Could something have held him up?"

Su Mu could only come up with a reason for herself,

Then, while eating breakfast,

She quietly stood at the entrance of the residential compound, waiting.

But after waiting for quite a while,

She still didn't see any sign of Lu Shu.

8:00.

Lu Shu still hadn't shown up.
