However, Shi Hanchu was too busy and didn’t have time to come over. Su Manman started drinking and worrying.

  There was a scene where Su Manman wheedled and seduced Shi Hanchu, and took the opportunity to kill Shi Hanchu……

  Previously, the director had especially reminded Su Manman that her character, Lu Nanqiao, was a soldier, so she wouldn’t be overly feminine when she wheedled. And when she seduced him, she wouldn’t act especially vulgar and seductive!

  This character was a bit complicated.

  She couldn’t control her heart properly and fell in love with this man.

  But she also couldn’t forget the fact that she wanted to avenge her brother, who had died tragically in this man’s hands……

  Su Manman had to figure out how to act this character herself.

  When Su Manman went to change her clothes and makeup, Shi Hanchu was still filming the remaining scenes.

  By the time Su Manman was done changing her outfit and came out, Shi Hanchu was still around.

  She told herself that once the director called for a start…… she would no longer be herself, but Gu Nan. She definitely would not bring her own feelings into the intimate scenes later.

  Su Manman, who had changed into her costume, sat at the round table and focused on the director’s instruction before they began.

  Su Manman supported her chin with one hand and lowered her eyelids. She fiddled with the peanuts with her fingers and lazily put one in her mouth. She then raised a glass of wine and downed it while frowning slightly.

  She picked up another peanut and put it into her mouth, again, pouring wine for herself……

  Before her slender fingers could reach her mouth, a large hand appeared to take away the glass in her hand and placed it aside.

  Su Manman lowered her head, and her eyes trembled. She forced a smile before turning around to look at Shi Hanchu. He had one hand on the edge of the round table and bent over to get close to her. It was as if he had changed into a different person. There was a hint of drunkenness in his eyes.

  Shi Hanchu’s handsome features got closer. The corners of his lips were curled up, and his long and slender fingers unbuttoned the collar of his military uniform. He exuded a masculine aura, looking very charming.

  Perhaps because of the woman he liked, Shi Hanchu was no longer as serious as he usually was. His smile was a little roguish. “Did you miss me?”


  Su Manman placed one elbow on the round table and raised her head. She looked at Shi Hanchu with a pair of eyes that seemed to be able to speak. She said seductively, “Yes, but what’s the use of it……”


  Su Manman’s smile was slightly retracted as she fixed her gaze on Shi Hanchu’s eyes. Her hand was on Shi Hanchu’s shoulder, and although there was still a smile in her eyes, the instant she raised her head, there was a slight difference in her expression compared to before. She lowered her voice and asked, “Will you come when I miss you?”


  Shi Hanchu smiled as he unbuttoned all the buttons on his military uniform. His fingers caressed Su Manman’s red lips as he lowered his head and kissed her.

  Su Manman’s throat tightened, and she dodged awkwardly. Her heart was in a mess, but at the same time, she was afraid that Shi Hanchu would see through her embarrassment. The corners of her lips turned up, and the moment she wrapped her arms around Shi Hanchu’s neck and leaned her head against Shi Hanchu’s shoulder, tears rolled down her eyes……

  She really missed Shi Hanchu’s embrace. She missed Shi Hanchu’s clean and fresh scent.

  Su Manman closed her eyes, but she couldn’t stop her tears from falling. The director gave her a close-up……

  Su Manman’s performance was too surprising, even for the director. The struggle and pain in her eyes weren’t just acting!

  Ever since she talked to Shi Hanchu in Japan that day, Su Manman felt as if there was a huge rock in her heart.

  It had been so long since she last saw Shi Hanchu, and the feelings that were suppressed in her heart were silently brewing.

  Although she knew that this was just a movie, and she had always been a person who knew how to split her personal life from her work equally, she didn’t suppress her emotions this time.

  When Shi Hanchu, who was acting as a general, carried Su Manman horizontally, Su Manman looked up from Shi Hanchu’s shoulder. She was already smiling brightly.

  Shi Hanchu had just placed Su Manman on the carved wooden bed when he said, “Tell me what you want. I’ll get whatever it is as long as it will make you happy!”


  Su Manman reached her hand under the pillow and asked, “Then, I want General’s life. Will he give it to me?”


  Shi Hanchu smiled. “You are my life……”


  Shi Hanchu was just about to push Su Manman down when he suddenly froze. He lowered his head and looked at the gun Su Manman was holding against his chest. His deep and dark eyes were filled with coldness as he called out Su Manman’s name in the movie, “Nanqiao……”


  Su Manman looked at Shi Hanchu, whom she had forced to straighten up slowly. Tears rolled down her cheeks, and her hand that was holding the gun trembled.

  Shi Hanchu took a step back and stood still. He calmly looked at Su Manman with a hint of disappointment in his eyes. He asked, “Nanqiao, am I not good to you? Hmm?”


  “You killed my younger brother!” After saying this, Su Manman burst out laughing like a lunatic. “He was only 17 and not a Japanese lackey. But you didn’t care, saying that you’d rather kill the wrong person than let him off. You took away my last kin in this world!”


  “That’s why I’m returning myself to you!” There wasn’t a hint of surprise in Shi Hanchu’s eyes as he calmly gazed at Su Manman. “So I’m returning myself to you……”


  As he spoke, Shi Hanchu held Su Manman’s trembling hand and pulled the gun against his chest towards his heart. “I’ll pay you back…… You need to put down the gun so that we can lead a good life! No…… Shoot here. A life for a life!”


  “You…… let go of me!” Su Manman panicked. She withdrew her hand in a sorry state and fell onto the bed.

  “You love me so much! You can’t do it!”


  “No! I don’t love you! Who would love a murderer like you!” Su Manman denied.

  Shi Hanchu placed the gun on the bed, bent over, and placed his hands on both sides of Su Manman’s body. When his eyes met Su Manman’s, he said, “Once a person’s truth is exposed, the more intense the denial is, the more truth there is to it! Nanqiao…… your denial is too clumsy.”


  Su Manman gritted her teeth, her body trembling from restraining herself.

  Shi Hanchu pressed his forehead against Su Manman’s and said in a low voice, “Do you know why…… I didn’t guard myself against you? I’ll give you whatever you want, even if what you want is a gun that could claim my life because I know you love me! And because…… I love you too!”


  Regardless of whether it was her previous life or this life, Su Manman wanted to hear Shi Hanchu tell her……

  Even though it was just an act, these three words caused Su Manman’s emotions to fluctuate intensely.

  She looked at Shi Hanchu with her lips slightly parted…… It was as if her lines were stuck in her throat, unable to get out. She only looked at Shi Hanchu with tears in her eyes.

  She knew that the lines were “Don’t say it, I don’t want to hear it”, but she yearned for those words very much.

  Shi Hanchu stared at Su Manman and responded to the situation accordingly. He lowered his voice even more. “I love you…… Nanqiao…… I’m saying that you’re my life. This is not a joke!”


  Su Manman clenched her fists, her red lips pursed tightly, unable to say a word……

  The director thought that if the actors were free to do whatever they wanted, such deep love between the two characters would be more apparent.
