Chapter 220 - 220 181 Do not spread rumors in front of me

I’m someone who tends to shoot the breeze a bit too much and can’t quite control my own mouth. I was just talking nonsense, I hope you don’t mind. Rest assured, once I leave this crew, I won’t talk recklessly anymore.”
Wenyan smiled and nodded, “Then that’s the best outcome, thank you. You guys carry on with your chat, I’m going back to warming myself up by the fire.”
“Hehe, alright. Is this heater enough for you? If not, I can go get another one for you.”
“Really? You have an extra one? If so, then please do; one is indeed not quite enough.”
“Ok, ok, just wait a sec, I’ll go get another one for you right away.”
Carrying on with the chat was out of the question now.
All the staff members who had been gossiping earlier had made excuses and left, leaving just Wenyan and Jiang Wanwan there.
Seeing Jiang Wanwan looking at her with a smile, Wenyan couldn’t help but lean in closer.
“Why are you laughing? Is it that funny?”
Jiang Wanwan nodded, “The way you reached out to pat that guy on the shoulder just now was indeed quite funny. When he saw your face, I bet his mental trauma reached its max.”
“That’s his own fault for spreading rumors about me right in front of me. I wanted him to feel embarrassed, to teach him a lesson so he won’t talk nonsense again.”
“Mhm, that’s good,” Jiang Wanwan concluded, “I’ve noticed you’re different from others. Often, you defuse very awkward situations with a smile. Not only do you avoid falling out with others, but they even end up bringing you an extra heater. Killing two birds with one stone, huh.”
Wenyan chuckled, “Because I don’t like getting into conflicts or arguments with others, unless someone goes too far. Under normal circumstances, I don’t really want to waste my emotions. I think my emotions should be spent on happy and joyous things; amplify the positives and roll the negatives aside.”
Jiang Wanwan nodded, “I understand now, that’s why your smile is so infectious. It has something that others’ smiles don’t have.”
Jiang Wanwan finally understood why she had such a favorable impression of Wenyan.
However, her tone shifted, “But what that crew member mentioned earlier is still worth paying attention to. Don’t you also find Qin Yulong a bit odd? It’s good to be wary. She even wanted to invite you to dinner alone.”
“I know, don’t worry. I’m the last person to invite trouble. I will definitely stay far away from her.”
However, the next day, the two of them ran into each other again.
As the next scene to be shot was an outdoor chase sequence, both Wenyan and Fu Yiqing went on location, while Jiang Wanwan stayed at the film city to shoot with another crew.
It was a chase scene that required Wenyan to stand on a dangerous waterfall to shoot a few close-ups.
The crew had tied a safety rope around Wenyan because of the turbulent waterfall.
But only those who went up knew how dangerously slippery the stones beneath the waterfall were.
Wenyan had barely taken a couple of steps before the current swept her away.
The immense force of the water dragged both Wenyan and the rope downstream, where the unprepared crew couldn’t pull the rope in time.
Wenyan was swept away, rope and all. The crew had focused all their work upstream, so there were no lifeguards downstream at that moment.
After the accident, everyone rushed downstream.
But it took time.
Although Wenyan could swim, the fall from such a height, combined with being tethered by the rope, risked her getting caught on underwater rocks or something else, making it potentially impossible to resurface.
In this moment of extreme peril, a single person leaped from upstream into the waterfall.
Only after being rescued and brought to shore did Wenyan learn that her lifesaver was Qin Yulong.
Saved from the water, Wenyan was so weak she trembled continuously, and Qin Yulong was not much better off.
They were quickly helped into the crew’s caravan.
The caravan had the air conditioning on, creating a suitable temperature, perfect for them to change clothes.
But considering the rumors about Qin Yulong’s sexual orientation within the crew, Wenyan opted to use a portable clothes rack as a divider.
She created a small enclosed space for herself.
As she was removing her wet clothes, Qin Yulong suddenly spoke from the opposite side.
“Can I ask you a question?”
“No.”
“…But I just saved you.”
“Then maybe I should jump back in and wait for someone else to rescue me…”
“I was just going to ask, why are you so repelled?”
