Chapter 98 - Cool
Chapter 98: Cool
“Okay. Tell the stunt double to get ready. Don’t film her face…” Before Director Yang could finish giving his orders, Mu Sheng got onto the sports bike. “Mu Sheng, what are you doing? Get off the bike.”
Mu Sheng started the engine. After a thunderous rumble, all that remained was tail gas.
Mu Sheng rode the bike around some empty space around the filming location.
The night wind made Mu Sheng’s face feel a little cold, but Mu Sheng felt good.
Only wind could be heard as she rode at top speed.
The stunt double was shocked by the sight, let alone the film crew.
Considering the stunt double’s skills, she was not even good enough to be Mu Sheng’s stunt double. Did the film crew have nothing better to do or money to burn?
Mu Sheng rode around the empty land before riding the bike back to the film location.
She gradually slowed down when she came close while some of her hair fluttered in the wind. She looked cool and unrestrained. It was impossible for the people to veer their eyes.
Director Yang was dumbstruck.
She looked incredibly beautiful and it was just what the director wanted for the character!
“We won’t be using a stunt double. Mu Sheng, you will ride on your own. Do you remember your lines? Get changed now so that we can try filming a scene,” said Director Yang as he told the makeup artists and cameramen to get ready.
10 minutes later, they started filming officially.
At the school entrance, the school had just finished for the night and everyone was happily chatting as they walked out with their school bags.
Since it was in the 90s, phones were not common yet. When girls got together, they simply shared gossip.
“A new boy just got transferred to our class. He is so hot! The moment class was over, so many people from the other classes came over to look at him.”
“Really? Show me tomorrow. Things are really bad in my class. Gu Li got into another fight with the homeroom teacher today. However, the homeroom teacher did not dare to provoke her.”
“Gu Li? I heard she used to be a gangster. My homeroom teacher keeps telling us to stay away from her.”
From the distance, a loud rumble could be heard as everyone gossiped and it instantly stole their attention.
A motorcycle came towards the school entrance at high speed. Just as everyone started to dodge the bike, it made half a turn right in front of them. Some sparks even flew as the tires rubbed the ground.
After the motorcycle stopped, the person on the motorcycle removed her helmet to reveal a proud cold face. It was none other than Gu Li, the same girl they were just gossiping about.
Gu Li’s long black hair was scattered behind her shoulders. She was dressed in baggy school uniform with her pant legs stuffed into her motorcycle boots. She gave off an incredibly cool and unrestrained aura.
All the other students looked at Gu Li fearfully and with disdain owing to all the gossip they heard. Gu Li disregarded their looks and glanced over casually. She seemed unusually mature for her age.
She got off the bike with her bag slung over her shoulder.
Everyone gave way as Gu Li walked. Despite the huge crowd at the school entrance, no one got in her way and everyone was completely silent as she walked.
Gu Li suddenly turned around after she entered the school gate and looked at the crowd outside.
Soft yellow street light scattered over her and made her face blur as a leaf fell from the trees and landed on her shoulder.
Even though she did not utter a word, she gave off a powerful yet vulnerable aura. It was absolutely beautiful and people could not help feeling sad.
Director Yang kept gesturing for the cameraman to give Mu Sheng a close-up until his hand felt sore. “Great! That was an excellent take! We are done with the scene!”
Everyone snapped out of their daze when the director called it a wrap. Some of the girls sensed coldness on their faces, but the moment they touched it, they realized they had unknowingly cried.
Two people stood quietly at the film location entrance. A bright voice asked, “Who was that actress?”
