Quick Transmigration: What to Do When the Male Supporting Character You Saved Becomes Obsessed with

The director then personally stepped in, holding an umbrella for the cameraman, and the group squeezed together under the tree, waiting for the rain to pass.

But things didn't go as planned. After about half an hour, the rain didn't let up; instead, lightning flashed across the sky.

Amidst the rumbling thunder, the director's face looked as bitter as a long, bitter gourd.

Lu Liruan had a good attitude. Since she was already here, she might as well make the best of it. There was no use in being anxious. When she came up, the weather was hot and humid, but now it had cooled down.

The air in these mountains is exceptionally fresh; taking a deep breath, I feel as if my lungs have been purified.

"It seems we can't go down any further..." The host went to the side to ask about the situation, and the villagers who came up with him had just seen the situation from below.

"The rain is pouring down so hard that the ground is muddy, slippery, and soft. Going down the same way is more dangerous than coming up. We'd better go up now..." The host's voice was picked up by the microphone.

【No way, are you trapped?】

[Lu Liruan is really something, always causing trouble for others. Now the production team and the crew above are all being messed with because of her. It's one thing if she gets into trouble herself, but she shouldn't drag others into danger too!]

[Where did you come from, just trying to smear me for the sake of smearing? Didn't you understand that we'd already discussed and chosen this day? What, are you some kind of thunder god or lightning goddess? Did you know it was going to thunder and rain today?]

Lu Liruan could see that the comments were about to start arguing.

"Alright, alright, here's something interesting for you!"

After speaking, Lu Liruan turned up the brightness of her phone screen and took a picture of the distant sky from under the shade of the tree.

Layers of dark clouds stretched across the sky, the blackness thinning as they receded into the distance, until finally, in the distance, a clear dividing line appeared, through which a ray of light shone.

This is a view that can only be seen from a high place. Lu Liruan stood in front of the camera, bending over and smiling, with raindrops hanging precariously on her long eyelashes.

The mountains and fields were gloomy, and the wind and rain raged. Her wet hair clung to her cheeks and neck, and although she was unkempt, she was full of vitality.

Wow, my wife looks like a mountain spirit!

I'm starting to understand the artistic conception of "The Mountain Spirit" now; it's absolutely captivating!

The director had noticed the sudden tension in the live stream, but Lu Liruan defused it.

If it weren't for the unscrupulous agency that managed her, this girl's looks and innate, likable charm would have made her a huge star long ago... the director thought to himself.

Unable to wait any longer for the rain to subside, the group decided to continue onward.

Once we got to the film crew's location, at least there was a place to take shelter from the rain and rest.

"I'm sorry, but to ensure the safety of personnel and equipment, we cannot conduct live streaming at this time. We apologize!" the host said apologetically.

[Ahhhhh—my wife looks so beautiful today, I want to see more!]

[Li Ruan! Consort Li, what will I do without you!]

Amidst cries of despair, the live stream was shut down.

Lu Liruan breathed a sigh of relief. Climbing the mountain was already tiring enough, and she really didn't have the energy to deal with the audience as well.

How is Cheng Nianzhi now? Does he know that he will come as usual? Recalling Cheng Nianzhi's expectant expression, Lu Liruan suddenly felt her legs gain strength.

Haha, he must have thought he couldn't make it as promised, right? Let's give him a surprise!

The mountain path grew steeper and steeper, and the director sighed from behind, "Ah... these old bones of mine!"

"What do you call this? You reap what you sow, and those who harm others will ultimately harm themselves!" Lu Liruan was also panting, but she didn't forget to tease the director. Speaking of which, he was the culprit!

"How much further is it, brother?" Lu Liruan asked the person leading the way.

"Just two more turns and you'll get there, it's not far—"

As we rounded the first bend, it got dark.

The group used their cell phone flashlights for light, wading through the muddy water.

Lu Liruan wiped her face, which was wet from the rain, and looked up. Suddenly, a moving yellow dot appeared not far in front of her.

Lu Liruan walked forward, and the yellow light moved toward her until it could be seen clearly.

Cheng Nianzhi stood there, holding an umbrella in one hand and a windproof lamp in the other.

In the darkness, his loose shirt fluttered in the wind and was then knocked off by the rain. Under the yellow glow, his expression was gentle yet firm, like a painting in the wind and rain.

The director was also stunned.

Starting halfway through the journey, the communication equipment signal became weak, probably due to a problem with the nearby signal tower, and we were unable to contact the film crew.

Why would Cheng Nianzhi be waiting here?

"Nianzhi!" Lu Liruan was the first to react, quickening her pace and rushing to Cheng Nianzhi's side.

Cheng Nianzhi placed the almost useless umbrella on a nearby tree branch, reached out, and hugged Lu Liruan tightly.

Their clothes were soaking wet, clinging coolly to their skin, while their bodies pressed tightly together allowed warmth to spread, as if they were inseparable, bound together by the rain.

"What are you doing here?" Lu Liruan looked up, and Cheng Nianzhi bent down slightly, using his body to temporarily shield Lu Liruan from the rain.

"I've come to pick you up. It's getting dark and I was worried you wouldn't be able to see the way."

Cheng Nianzhi spoke naturally as he took the equipment bag from Lu Liruan's hand.

"With such heavy rain and no way to contact us, how do you know we'll definitely come?" Lu Liruan asked, puzzled.

"Because Li Ruan promised me~ Didn't Li Ruan say she wouldn't lie to me?" Lu Li Ruan opened her mouth, stunned by Cheng Nianzhi's innocent smile just now.

He tilted the umbrella toward Lu Liruan, his eyes gleaming under the lamplight.

Waaah, it's only because I'm a good person that I feel like someone as naive as you could be fooled by a bad woman three times over!

This thought suddenly popped into Lu Liruan's mind.

Then she felt relieved that she had insisted on coming up earlier. Although she hadn't been thinking entirely about Cheng Nianzhi at the time, seeing his happy face now made Lu Liruan realize that this was the greatest significance of coming up.

It's good if it can make him happy...

The production team felt like... someone had stuffed something they shouldn't have eaten into their mouths. They were hungry a moment ago, but now they felt bloated.

With Cheng Nianzhi's lantern guiding them, the group quickened their pace. After turning the last bend, they finally saw the film crew's campsite.

Because filming was only for the last few shots, the crew's equipment was quite basic, consisting of just a few tents pitched in an open area, half of which are now submerged in water.

The director of the production team is surnamed Yu. He is a very prestigious academic director in the industry, but he is very low-key and easy-going.

When Cheng Nianzhi actually brought the person back, he was also surprised, and then his next thought was: Good, it's good to have more people to help clean up!

Then he greeted her with a smile: "I'm sorry, our signal is temporarily down, which will delay your filming."

"It's alright, it's alright. We turned off the road halfway through in this heavy rain," the director replied politely.

Director Yu was shaking hands with someone when he caught sight of Lu Liruan next to Cheng Nianzhi. He paused for a moment, then looked at her a few more times.

Cheng Nianzhi noticed this and nodded to him: "I'll take Li Ruan to a clean place first."
