Skewered in the sun

PERFECT MO JIAMU

Once she had spoken, everybody's attention was drawn towards what she was looking at and they too were momentarily stunned.

Gong Xu was still standing at the door. He was wearing a clean-cut suit which was black in color. His hair was done and it blew softly with the wind. It carried an air of ruthlessness and gentleness at the same time.

He looked distant and unreachable. He was aloof yet gentle at the same time, these were the two emotions that described Mo Jiamu.

He was simply Mo Jiamu in the flesh!

He had rolled the sleeves of his shirt to his elbow and at the front, some of the buttons were undone showing his broad, toned chest.

The women who saw him blushed deeply, he was simply too eye-catching!

Qiao Zilan nodded happily when he saw the reactions of people toward Gong Xu.

Even the people who were doubtful were now having mixed reactions. Gong Xu did not know the type of commotion he had created. He simply walked toward Qiao Zilan with his signature indifferent face.

Today, they were going to shoot some test shots. The scenes were simple and they were chosen to build cohesion between the actors.

The female lead in this film was a popular actress known as Li Meilin. She was beautiful in a very refining way and she also did not put on airs around others.

The promo picture for the movie was done. Li Meilin and Xia Ming looked like the perfect couple. Together, they looked like a painting. With them, this film was bound to be successful. They were the two most sought-after actors in the country.

The two had once acted in a film together which did well so many were expecting this one to do well too.

Gong Xu's promo picture was done next. He had never stood in front of a camera before but was not bothered. He posed like someone who was a veteran. His pictures turned out perfect from every angle.

Li Meilin looked at him from her seat, her face held a subtle tint of blush. She had met countless men who were richer and even more famous but none of them gave her this feeling.

The more she looked, the more her heart hammered against her chest.

She reached out and touched her chest slowly and then sighed.

One of the test shot scenes was between Xia Ming and Gong Xu.

Mo Jiamu was considered half-mad and this was why many people avoided him as much as possible but the male lead, Rong Li treated him differently.

The two had met under a large baobab tree. The sun was scorching hot and the ale lead instantly became worried when he noticed a person sitting on the opposite side of the shade.

He made steps towards him and blocked the sun's rays for him and then asked, "Do you want to get skewered on the sun or what?"

Qiao Zilan gave both Xia Ming and Gong Xu directions and then left them to coordinate the crew.

Everything else had already been set. A prop was used instead of the real baobab tree. Gong Xu walked over and sat under it and then closed his eyes.

"Action," Qiao Zilan yelled once everything was set.

Mo Jiamu sat down. The sun was bright as it burned down on his body yet he did not do as much as lift his hands to block the rays out, it was as if that motion was simply arduous for him.

Suddenly, a fleet of cars passed by. One of the cars had its windows rolled down and a man was looking outside although not too keenly.

Xia Ming's expressions were perfect. He looked outside and spotted the person lying down and asked the driver to stop the car.

He got out and looked up. The sun was really hot and then he looked towards the person who was still lying under the tree.

The shade was on the other side so why was he lying on this side?

He walked over and stood beside the man, blocking the sun's rays for him.

Mo Jiamu, who was enjoying the sun suddenly felt that the sun was being blocked by something. He opened his eyes slowly. They were groggy from sleep but once he noticed that it was somebody who was blocking the sun, his eyes turned sharp, with obvious killing intent.

This change was subtle yet even Xia Ming who was standing beside him felt it clearly.

He had no time to be surprised and only looked down keenly and continued with the scene.

"Do you want to get skewered in the sun or what?"
