With just a few simple strokes, she sketched out an adorably silly little dog, gazing at you with wet, innocent eyes.
Mu Qiuniang was about to continue drawing when suddenly she heard an exclamation: "Wow! So handsome?!"
She looked up and saw a man in a dark green military uniform, exuding an ascetic aura, wearing a military cap, his posture straight and his stride brisk as he walked towards her.
Mu Qiuniang was momentarily dazed. His steps were so resolute and persistent, his figure so towering. His handsome face had profound features, and his eyes were like cold blades, cutting through a deep abyss.
His tall stature, his long legs...
Mu Qiuniang swallowed hard.
Of course, her gaze was both infatuated and innocent. She never imagined that seeing him in uniform for the first time would be this striking?!
The little person in her mind was biting her sleeve; perhaps, she should go home and have him wear it for her...
Jiang Nuo caught the unusualness in her entirely. His icy eyes suddenly blossomed like a lotus on a high mountain, spreading softness like water.
So, this is what she likes!
Jiang Nuo had always acted childishly in front of her, trying to be cute, just to get closer to her. But he never expected that simply wearing a uniform would prompt such a reaction from her.
Hehehe... it seems like he could borrow a set tonight. Occasionally playing with the lure of a uniform could be quite a... fun, right?
The film hadn't even begun shooting, and someone was already thinking about the night's matters.
Of course, Jiang Nuo's face remained serious, without revealing any issues.
Jiang Nuo played the role of a senior officer of the enemy, seeking to uncover the leader of the underground party after arresting a few members. But the problem was, after two nights, they still hadn't identified the 'leader' they wanted.
With the negotiations between the two sides stuck, the other party was pushing for their release. Seeing that the release time was nearing, the enemy was anxious. So, they sent a senior officer skilled in psychology to assist.
Jiang Nuo's first scene was him getting out of a car late at night, entering a secret jail of the enemy.
Since it was daytime and couldn't be shot, they had to shoot the second scene first: a group of underground members being brought to a hall, and the senior officer walking past them coldly.
His mere presence in front of them made their hearts drum with tension, especially as his emotionless, all-seeing eyes swept over them, giving a palpable sensation of being exposed.
Just with this encounter, someone buckled under the pressure, showing a flaw.
"Tulip, what are you doing?! Why are you faltering? You're not a thief; you're an experienced underground member, got it?" While filming was going well, someone faltered, and Director Zhang instantly shouted in displeasure.
Filming Jiang Nuo posed no issues, but filming them...
Damn it! What kind of actors did he hire this time? And this one is the lead too. Individually they're fine, but compared to Jiang Nuo, it's like mud vs. clouds.
"I-I'm sorry, Director..." Tulip looked nervous. Ugh... she really wanted to leave a good impression on Jiang god, but the more she tried, the more nervous she became.
The more nervous, the easier it was to make mistakes.
After several tries with no success, Director Zhang had no choice but to cancel the scene for now and shoot the third scene: the enemy's senior officer having people single out the underground members one by one to the interrogation room for 'questioning.'
The senior officer was very cold, employing not only cruel punishments but also using many degrading methods against women. Though the filming techniques glossed over these brutal scenes with just a few close-ups, the stark contrast in these scenes highlighted the cruelty of such punishments.
Anyone watching from behind the camera would grit their teeth in hatred towards this senior officer, wishing to rush up and tear his face to pieces.
This was Mu Qiuniang's first time watching Jiang Nuo film a movie on set; before, she'd only hear him mention he was filming or going on a show. Once finished she wouldn't delve into what he filmed.
This time, watching him transform into another person with the same face, calmly, mercilessly, and cruelly deal with those frail but determined female underground members, Mu Qiuniang was somewhat entranced.
So, this is the man she fell for!
So, this is the job he loves!
So, this is how he looks at work!
Although she didn't quite understand the joy of playing another person so realistically, she thought it must be like her love for painting, carrying paper and pen everywhere she went to sketch tirelessly.
Once immersed in doing what you love, the joy rising from deep within is so tender, it moves people.
Mu Qiuniang couldn't help but curve her lips, though just lightly, it was like a night bloom illuminating the dark night.
A staff member happened to capture this scene and was lost in it for a while.
Oh my?! That wife of Jiang god, who doesn't look impressive, smiles so beautifully?!
Like she's glowing.
So beautiful!
Not even real!
Jiang Nuo had no idea; he missed his wife's smile while engrossed in filming, else he would have been hopping mad.
Why? Why did he miss such a precious smile?
Later, when he saw this photo among fans' reposts, the jealousy tinged in their little house of love.
"Wife, you don't love me anymore!" He pouted in dissatisfaction at someone.
Mu Qiuniang, who was cooking dinner, looked up in confusion: "..."
Jiang Nuo persisted: "Wife, you don't love me anymore!"
Mu Qiuniang was speechless: "What are you ranting about?"
"Look, you smile at others but not at me." Jiang Nuo pointed at the photo on Weibo.
Mu Qiuniang: "..."
Fine, she didn't even remember when she'd smiled. But judging by the photo's background, it seemed to be on the set of "Spy Kill"?
Mu Qiuniang recalled the day with him in uniform, and that night he, exuding ascetic vibes, treated her like fish on a cutting board, turning her over repeatedly to the point of exhaustion.
"Cough, cough," Mu Qiuniang changed the subject, "How about I make sweet and sour carp for you tonight? Didn't you mention during the day that you wanted it?"
As soon as sweet and sour carp was mentioned, Jiang Nuo's mouth watered. Last time his wife made it was so delicious, but unfortunately, there were too many people, and he barely got a few bites.
"Okay. Do you need my help, wife?" Jiang Nuo happily approached her, forgetting about the photo.
So, foodies are best appeased!
