Chapter 622: Finally, I got to use that phrase.

The content for this scene was very simple.

In an abandoned factory, the male lead had already defeated the enemy, and both the second female lead and the first female lead were on the scene. However, a major explosion was about to occur, and one person had to be saved. The second female lead voluntarily gave up her life, and the male lead eventually left with the first female lead.

The scenes required for the male lead had already been filmed, and Zheng Qian was only responsible for some high-difficulty action shots.

For example, he needed to swing on a chain like Tarzan to reach the first female lead.

Then, he would hold her and leap away just as the explosion began behind them.

Since this scene required capturing the emotional expression of the first female lead and the second female lead being conflicted, willing to give up their lives for each other, and yielding to one another to be with the male lead... Shang Rongyan and Lin Youcai could not use stunt doubles.

"This scene won't be dangerous, right?"

Director A-Qiang paced back and forth uneasily, grabbing the hand of the prop team leader.

The latter struggled to pull his hand away and patted his chest in assurance, "Don't worry, Director. We've been working together for so many years; when have we ever had an accident? Didn't we just have that stuntman named Chen Chou swing back and forth on the chain a few times?"

A-Qiang suddenly gave him a hard slap, saying with frustration, "I'm talking about the explosives! Will there be a problem with those!"

The prop team leader chuckled and rubbed the back of his head, "Relax, relax."

At this moment, filming had already begun.

Shang Rongyan and Lin Youcai called out to each other, and suddenly, Lin Youcai let out an "Ah" and jumped down. There was a huge foam mat beneath the high platform, so it wasn't a big problem. Zheng Qian immediately grabbed the chain and swung violently to the side where Shang Rongyan was located.

At this moment, the explosion began inside the factory, and intense tongues of fire spewed forth.

Shang Rongyan had never filmed such a thrilling scene, and her little heart was pounding wildly.

Seeing Zheng Qian descend before her through the thick smoke, she couldn't help but feel a slight strangeness. Zheng Qian's appearance couldn't be called handsome, but his temperament was excellent. Especially after his body, weapons, and other aspects had been enhanced, he looked very energetic overall.

But just at this moment, an accident suddenly occurred.

The high platform where Shang Rongyan was standing broke. Before Zheng Qian could land and catch her, her legs went weak and she tumbled downward. The script didn't arrange for her to jump, so naturally, there was no mat—it was solid concrete!

"Ah—!"

She let out a panicked scream.

She desperately and instinctively tried to grab onto something, but there was nothing around to hold onto.

Director A-Qiang's heart skipped a beat; it was truly a case of "what you fear most is what happens." He stood up abruptly and kicked the prop team leader to the ground, shouting excitedly, "Save her! Damn it, what are you standing there for? If she dies, we're all dead!"

The latter instinctively wanted to lead people in, but the fire erupted instantly, making it impossible to move forward.

Everyone tried several times to rush in, but the scorching heat was simply too terrifying; it felt like one more step forward and their skin would be scorched. Furthermore, for the sake of the effect, they had specially prepared explosives in many places, which were all ignited in an instant.

"Thump—"

Director A-Qiang knelt directly on the ground, his voice trembling uncontrollably, "Quick, quick, call the fire department, the ambulance, quick... And you, assistant director, you... hurry up and book the next flight abroad, five tickets, I have five people in my family! The further away, the better, quick! Move quickly!" Then he picked up his phone again, "A-Li, listen to me, pack your things right now..."

Shang Rongyan closed her eyes in despair, her whole body beginning to tremble violently. It was a height of four stories, enough to be fatal. In that moment, she thought of many things. She thought about how she had never experienced love.

She thought about the restrictions her family placed on her; any boy who had inappropriate thoughts about her would mysteriously disappear the next day.

Even those who truly liked her would, after confessing, inexplicably "transfer schools" or die in a "car accident."

For a moment, she suddenly hated being born into a wealthy family.

Perhaps death was the best release?

No... no, I don't want to die yet. I really want to taste the bitterness of love...

Just at this moment, a firm, strong arm tightly wrapped around her slender waist. This feeling filled with strength instantly stopped her rapidly falling body, bringing Shang Rongyan an unprecedented sense of security.

She slowly opened her eyes; it was Zheng Qian, who had arrived at the very last critical moment.

Originally, Zheng Qian had no way to reach her so quickly.

But don't forget, in order to let his [Weapon] exert its maximum effect, and to have the ultimate experience during [Combat], Zheng Qian had very strong core strength (waist, abdomen, glutes, and leg muscle groups). In mid-air, he suddenly crunched his abs and then stretched out with force.

This forward force accelerated the speed of his swing on the chain; it was incredibly close.

Shang Rongyan couldn't say a word now.

Her beautiful eyes were filled with endless tears and the joy of surviving a disaster, and perhaps even something else. She gripped Zheng Qian's clothes tightly, her delicate body trembling uncontrollably. Feeling his hot, large hands, her tense emotions gradually calmed down.

At this moment, he was holding Shang Rongyan with his left arm, keeping her pressed tightly against him. His right hand gripped the chain, swinging in mid-air. As far as he could see, there was no place to land temporarily, and even if there were, it was quite a distance away.

If it were just him, he would certainly have the confidence to jump across directly.

But now, with the weight of an extra person, Zheng Qian wasn't actually very confident.

"Will... will we die?"

"We won't. Hold onto my neck tightly."

"Mm."

Shang Rongyan couldn't help but wrap her arms around Zheng Qian's neck. This position was actually quite suggestive, with their soft bodies pressed tightly together. But neither of them had time to think about such things now; however, in her subconscious, a trace of strange emotion still arose.

Zheng Qian took a deep breath and grabbed the chain hard, swinging through the air.

Suddenly, he used the momentum to leap forward!

The moment he let go of the chain, he switched to holding Shang Rongyan with both arms. His left hand cradled her head, and his right arm went under her legs. He dove forward, and with a thud, they landed on a slightly lower platform not far away.

At the moment of landing, Zheng Qian rolled forward violently.

He held Shang Rongyan tightly, taking the full impact of their fall and the friction against the ground himself. She just screamed in a daze, and when she finally came to her senses, she discovered that she didn't have a single scratch on her.

In contrast, Zheng Qian had obvious bloody scratches on his arms, thighs, and even his jaw and cheeks.

In this situation, it looked terrifying, and for a moment, she thought Zheng Qian was going to die.

"You... you..."

Shang Rongyan suddenly felt very heartbroken and guilty.

Although she was usually spoiled and overbearing, deep down she was still a very simple young girl who had just been very well protected by her family. Seeing that Zheng Qian had paid such a tragic price to save her, she couldn't help but instinctively reach out her jade-like hand to touch his wounds.

"It's nothing serious. A real man fears no pain. Everything is just a scratch, except for death."
