48 Dating the Best Actor
“Sister…” Shi Wenfei looked aggrieved.
Before she could say anything, Shi Ran had already stood up. With one hand in her pocket, she said in Bai Jingtian’s direction, “Let’s go on a date.”
This cool look made Bai Jingtian chuckle.
“Okay,” he agreed gently.
They walked away side by side. Gujia watched them go and hung her head.
Shi Wenfei noticed this and a treacherous light flashed in her eyes.
It seemed she could try to start a fire with Gujia.
… .
Shi Ran and Bai Jingtian walked out aimlessly.
Tonight’s date schedule was determined by the female guests.
Seeing that Shi Ran did not say anything, Bai Jingtian thought that tonight’s date was a walk.
After all, with Shi Ran’s personality, it was not impossible.
They strolled down the tree-lined path, the wind rustling the leaves on either side.
After walking out of the villa area, Bai Jingtian noticed a black Haro. The body of the car was handsome and cool, and there were two helmets on it.
She stepped forward, picked up a helmet, and raised her legs to straddle it.
Then, she handed the other helmet to Bai Jingtian.
Although Bai Jingtian was puzzled, he also reached out to take it.
“Do you want to experience it?” Shi Ran raised his eyebrows and asked.
Bai Jingtian was a little surprised. “Why did you choose this?”
“I didn’t have enough fun racing today, so I wanted to play again,” Shi Ran said with a shrug.
Bai Jingtian was stunned for a moment before he smiled gently and said, “Okay.”
He put the helmet back on and got into the back seat.
“Hold firm.” Shi Ran raised her voice.
Bai Jingtian subconsciously put his hand behind his back.
“Boom—”
The bike roared away.
It was eight o’clock at night, and the streets were busy.
Shi Ran quickly crossed the wide road and drove as fast as she could.
A turn and the bike tilted, its body almost touching the ground.
Bai Jingtian quickly grabbed both sides of Shi Ran’s waist.
The bike righted itself.
Bai Jingtian felt relieved.
But the thrill remained in his heart.
His heart raced.
He hadn’t experienced this feeling in too long…
Over the helmet, the watery eyes shifted.
He didn’t know where the end was, but he liked the feel of the wind cutting through his skin.
When the bike stopped, Bai Jingtian was still a little unsatisfied.
He looked at the place where the two of them were dating. He was stunned on the spot.
“One Heart Paradise?”
One Heart Paradise was considered the most famous extreme sports center in City A. It contained all kinds of exciting sports experiences.
Among them, the bungee jumping platform was the most famous. It was 240 meters tall and became one of the holy lands of bungee jumping in China.
He’d heard of it, but had never tried it.
As if the thought surprised him, he said, “You can’t be—”
“Do you want to experience bungee jumping?” Shi Ran asked with a smile.
Bai Jingtian subconsciously looked at the drone and shook his head. “Sorry, I’m afraid not.”
“Are you afraid of heights?”
“No.” Bai Jingtian shook his head. “Physical reasons. Although I’ve recovered, my family and fans don’t want me to take the risk.”
“But you love it, don’t you?” The words came out in a rush.
Bai Jingtian was stunned. “How…” How did you know?
He opened his mouth but decided not to say the last few words.
“The camera’s not on. The drone’s been off since we left the house. Take a look at your phone if you don’t believe me,” Shiran said.
Bai Jingtian took out his phone in confusion. When he saw the countless missed calls from the production team and his manager, he immediately understood. “You turned the drone off?”
“Let’s go.” Shi Ran led the way in.
Bai Jingtian was still in a daze. He felt that everything was a little unreal.
He focused his gaze on Shi Ran.
The wind stirred her hair, and a faint fragrance filled the air.
After a long time, he heard his own voice say, “Thank you.”
Then he paused and smiled.
What she had done was insignificant.
Previously, the original host had pursued Bai Jingtian crazily and caused him to get into a car accident.
Bai Jingtian’s manager was determined to sue her and make everything public.
The Bai family had an extraordinary background and was well respected in both black and white worlds.
If this matter reached their ears, it would be a small matter for the original owner of this body to leave the entertainment industry and lose her life.
In the end, Bai Jingtian stopped this matter and said that it was an accident. Only then did the original owner of the body survive.
Since she had taken over this body, she had to pay off the debt the original owner owed.
Following the staff’s guidance, they completed the physical examination and confirmed that they passed. Then, they stood on the bungee platform.
After the coach helped Bai Jingtian put on all the equipment and confirmed that everything was fine, Bai Jingtian grabbed the rope and walked to the front of the bungee platform.
He looked down.
The bungee jumping platform was pitch-black like an abyss. The cold wind that whistled past was bone-chilling.
He covered his heart, which was beating too fast, and looked at Shi Ran beside him.
“There’s no need to be nervous,” Shi Ran said soothingly.
“Actually… I haven’t bungee-jumped in a long time.” Bai Jingtian looked into the distance with a deep gaze.
“I love extreme sports. Skydiving, bungee jumping, gliding… I’ve played them all.” He gazed sideways, his eyes smiling. “Are you surprised?”
“Ah, that’s not right.” Bai Jingtian spoke again. “You should have guessed it since you brought me here, right?”
“Yeah,” Shi Ran replied.
The character Bai Jingtian had appeared in the original book.
Not only was he the best actor in the entertainment industry, but he was also the only son of the Bai family’s head.
In the original book, Shi Wenfei unintentionally knew that Bai Jingtian liked extreme sports and was opportunistic.
Bai Jingtian was touched and spent a lot of resources on Shi Wenfei, directly sending her to the throne of the Best Actress.
She wanted to restore the debt she owed. After thinking about it, this was the only way.
“There was an accident when we were parachuting. We almost lost our lives. The media even made a fuss about it online.”
“Fans won’t let me do any more skydiving, and my family has expressly forbidden me from touching any extreme sports.”
Excitement sparkled in his eyes as he stared at the towering mountain in front of him. “I can’t believe I’m still standing on the bungee jump after five years.”
His voice was still shaky with excitement.
“Are you ready?” The coach stood behind Bai Jingtian.
“Ready.”
Bai Jingtian stepped forward and stood on the edge of the stage.
Without hesitation, he leaped forward.
A cool breeze whistled past his ears.
The weightlessness faded, and the wind brushed his cheeks. Beneath him, the lake sparkled.
He looked up through the layers of fog and seemed to see the bungee jumping platform.
After five years of not bungee jumping, he missed this feeling dearly.
As the two of them left One Heart Paradise, Bai Jingtian said again, “Thank you.”
“Consider it our secret.” Shi Ran smiled sweetly.
Bai Jingtian froze for a moment before smiling gently.
They drove back to the villa in the Haro and returned the bike to the production team.
As soon as he stepped into the villa, Bai Jingtian’s manager hurried forward. “The director just said that the drone is broken and couldn’t capture anything, so I can’t contact you.”
“I didn’t really look at my phone,” Bai Jingtian said gently.
“I thought something had happened to you.” As he said it, the agent glanced sideways at Shi Ran.
In his eyes, Shi Ran was his crazy fan.
He’d be damned if he’d trust his artist to date an illegitimate fan without a camera.
Shi Ran met his agent’s gaze openly.
At this moment, Director Wang walked into their line of sight and interrupted their meeting.
“We didn’t manage to film your date just now. The production team needs you to film it again.”
