Chapter 45 My Wife Wants to Jump Over the Wall

She initially ignored them, but their last comment, "live-streaming eating shit," piqued her interest.

“Sure, I’ll do it myself.” Su Xi flicked her ponytail. She was dressed as a female general, wearing a smart armor and her hair was all standing up. Her capable and neat appearance was imposing.

Upon hearing her agree, Hua Qing exclaimed anxiously, "Su Xi, are you crazy? You know how dangerous this is, what if..."

"Sister Hua, trust me."

Su Xi gave her a confident look.

Hua Qing wouldn't listen to reason; she only knew that many things went wrong with these kinds of plays, and she couldn't let Su Xi take any risks.

"I know your capabilities perfectly well. We want to become famous, but we can't risk our lives to make money."

Su Xi patted her chest and assured her, "Sister Xi will make you rich and help you get rich. You won't die."

"I'm not going to sleep with men anymore, so please don't do anything rash..."

Before Hua Qing could finish speaking, Su Xi shouted, "Director Zhu, I don't need a stunt double for this scene!"

Hua Qing sighed and rubbed her forehead.

It's over.

This is terrible!

Qin Na didn't expect Su Xi to be so easily provoked, so foolish as to agree to risk her life.

With such a high city wall, even if someone is suspended by wires without incident, an inexperienced person would definitely be scared half to death. Su Xi dared to show off in her first acting role.

Don't be so scared you wet yourself.

"Everyone, take lots of pictures later. Make sure to capture Su Xi's terrified and embarrassing state, and then upload them online so everyone can enjoy them."

Zhou Li was already prepared, and said maliciously, "Don't worry, if she dares to go herself, tomorrow's headlines will definitely be about her."

Few actresses dare to take the risk themselves. Zhou Li has been an agent for so many years, and the only one she knows is Xinglan.

That's a legend in the entertainment industry.

Before Zhou Li became a top agent, she had seen Xinglan filming a movie. Although they were far apart, she still couldn't forget the scene.

Xinglan jumped down from the house, which was over ten meters high, while being suspended by wires.

She showed no stage fright whatsoever, and her landing was flawless.

It's a real shame that Xinglan chose to retire from the entertainment industry at the height of her fame.

Zhou Li didn't believe Su Xi could do it. Even if Su Xi could jump down successfully, a person's expression would definitely not look good when they are afraid.

If they manage to capture some unflattering photos of Su Xi, tomorrow's trending topics will be quite interesting.

...

"Su Xi, are you sure?"

Director Zhu was surprised that Su Xi was so bold as to suggest that she would film the scene herself.

Stunt doubles are all professionally trained. Normally, they would not let the artists take risks themselves, firstly to ensure the smooth filming process, and secondly to ensure the safety of the artists.

As a newcomer, he did not recommend that Su Xi personally take the stage.

Without any hesitation, Su Xi nodded, "I'll give it a try. If Director Zhu isn't satisfied with the result, we can use a stunt double then."

Director Zhu doesn't care about the infighting between the actors, as long as it doesn't affect filming.

He had heard everyone's criticisms, and he hoped that Su Xi wouldn't make an impulsive decision because of personal matters.

"Think it over carefully, don't act impulsively." Director Zhu still felt it was inappropriate.

The city wall is over ten meters high; this is no joke.

Su Xi said firmly, "I have thought it through. Please trust Director Zhu's professional ability. My decision to go on stage myself is not out of willfulness, nor is it because of a few words from others."

When Director Zhu met Su Xi's confident gaze, he felt as if he were seeing Xinglan herself.

Xinglan's breakthrough role was in a drama about a female general. She wore a mask throughout the entire series, perfectly and exquisitely portraying the heroic spirit of the female general.

Although she had never worked with Xinglan, the two had gone on stage together to receive an award.

At the time, Xinglan attended the event in the image of her character and never took off her mask, so Director Zhu did not see Xinglan's face.

This was also Xinglan's only public appearance.

Although Xinglan later took on several roles and achieved good results, she never attended any events again, leaving her assistant to handle everything.

It can be said that Xinglan is a legend in the industry.

It is said that every drama Xinglan accepts is tailor-made for her.

Every character is wearing a mask.

This is why rumors circulate that Xinglan is not good-looking.

The drama that Su Xi took on happened to be a sister drama to Xing Lan's breakout role, both written by the same screenwriter.

I thought Su Xi's image would be quite different from Xing Lan's, but I didn't expect that the moment she put on the armor, her temperament would be just as good as Xing Lan's.

Director Zhu suddenly decided to take a risk and let Su Xi perform the scene herself.

"Okay, I agree that you don't need a stunt double."

Director Zhu's decision made Qin Na and her group even more smug.

Su Xi is taking the stage herself; this is going to be quite a show.

Not only would the performance be a disaster, but if something unexpected happened, he would be crippled even if he didn't die!

Hua Qing still felt it was inappropriate and tried to persuade him, "Director Zhu, Su Xi just acted impulsively. What she said shouldn't be taken seriously. We need to use a stunt double..."

"Sister Hua, I've made up my mind." Su Xi interrupted Hua Qing, her eyes fixed firmly on the city wall.

"Is it really worth it for a few mad dogs?" Hua Qing kept advising. "As long as we're alive, we can always make a comeback. It's not shameful to have bad acting skills; at least we're still alive to keep trying. If we lose our lives, we'll lose everything."

Su Xi suddenly leaned close to her ear and whispered something.

Hua Qing was jolted awake and stared at her incredulously.

Before she could even catch her breath, Su Xi had already climbed onto the city wall.

Standing atop the building overlooking the scenery below, a cool breeze brushed against her face. Su Xi opened her arms and closed her eyes.

It's been three years!

She never imagined that one day she would be standing here again!

Not far away, a tall, slender figure stood directly opposite her, a cigarette between his fingers, squinting as he looked in her direction.

"Your wife is going to jump over the wall, are you sure you don't want to go and stop her?"

Seeing Zhou Jingming's calm expression, Si Nan felt a chill for Su Xi.

With walls this high, let alone jumping, even just standing on them would make his legs go weak.

Zhou Jingming lit a cigarette, as calm as ever, "No rush."

Si Nan: "...By the time you panic, it will be too late. I'm not cursing you, but even though being suspended by wires might be fine, there are plenty of people who have had accidents. If something happens to Su Xi, your mom will beat you up."

Zhou Jingming exhaled a puff of smoke, his eyes revealing an unfathomable glint. "There won't be any surprises."

"Are you confident in your ability to fly, or do you believe Su Xi can become the second Xinglan?"

The two grew up wearing the same pair of open-crotch pants. Si Nan knew Zhou Jingming's capabilities best. Although he was quite good at Taekwondo, it was unlikely that he could rush to the city wall from such a distance.

As for Su Xi...

It's not that Si Nan looks down on Su Xi, but after so many years in the industry, those who used to play minor roles have become top-tier celebrities, while Su Xi hasn't made a ripple at all.

She has a pretty face, but she's not destined for fame.
