Childhood Sweethearts: He's Jealous Again!-Chapter 911: Wire Work

By the time Tong Mo arrived on set, Chongchong’s first scene was almost finished.

As she was putting on makeup, Lu Zichen walked in.

He wore a slightly apologetic expression, "Tomboy, sorry about all the rumors I dragged you into. I didn’t expect last night’s incident to be caught on camera..."

"What?"

Mid-makeup, Tong Mo looked up at him with a bewildered face, not understanding what he was talking about.

"Haven’t you checked the trending topics yet?" Lu Zijue paused.

"Nope." Tong Mo answered honestly.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to look, but Li Zijue had been sticking to her like glue, leaving her no time to check the trending news.

"So what’s really going on?" Tong Mo frowned slightly.

Lu Zichen smirked, changing the topic, "Nothing, hurry and finish your makeup, the shoot’s about to start."

With that, he strode out on his long legs.

Tong Mo squinted her eyes, glanced at the makeup artist shaping her eyebrows, and said, "Pause for a moment, pass me my phone."

"Alright, Tong Jie."

After the makeup artist handed her the phone, Tong Mo immediately checked the trending topics.

Although the PR department had already clarified, the buzz hadn’t died down.

Looking at all that gossip, Tong Mo almost laughed out loud, "What a boring rumor!"

Her having an affair with Lu Zichen!?

Sure, Lu Zichen is handsome, but her uncle is way more charming, and has anyone ever seen a woman bring her child to a tryst with her lover?

What an idiot!

Shaking her head, Tong Mo put the phone aside.

After stepping out, Tong Mo glanced at Lu Zichen and said with a careless smile, "Don’t worry, I’m not bothered by such boring news."

Lu Zichen responded with a simple "Mm."

During filming, Li Zijue also arrived on set.

When he came, Tong Mo was suspended in mid-air for a stunt.

Five or six meters high.

The woman wore full battle armor, her long hair tied up high, her makeup bold and heroic, like a brave iron-willed male warrior.

Li Zijue’s long eyebrows creased tightly.

He already knew there were many dangerous scenes in this drama, and he originally didn’t want his wife to take this role.

But he couldn’t resist Tong Mo’s persistent persuasion.

The assistant director, who could see what he was thinking, hurriedly sidled up with flattering words, "Mr. Li, don’t worry. We’ve thoroughly checked the equipment before she went up on the rig, and we’ve padded the area below with soft cushions. There’s absolutely no risk of any accidents..."

However.

Just as these words fell, the rigging seemed determined to slap the assistant director in the face. A creaky fracture sound hit the ground, and the rigging suddenly snapped.

Suspended in the air, Tong Mo immediately fell.

"Ah!! Aunt Tong!"

Nearby, Chongchong instinctively screamed, her wide eyes clearly reflecting the falling woman’s silhouette.

She was like a lifeless butterfly, her face drained of color.

And by some unfortunate coincidence, there was no cushion where she was about to land.

In a flash, everyone couldn’t help but gasp, their minds already bracing for Tong Mo’s memorial service.

In that split second, a figure responded.

Or rather, two figures.

They were Li Zijue and Lu Zichen.

However, Li Zijue was faster.

He caught the falling Tong Mo barehanded.

The next moment.

With a "thud," the force caused them both to collapse to the ground.

Li Zijue on the bottom, Tong Mo on top.
