Chapter 173

Then, just as the swing reached it’s highest point, the rope suddenly snapped . Qiao Anhao lost her balance and couldn’t help but let out a shriek . Her body flew forward and fell to the ground .

As the director saw the scene through the monitor, the smile on his face instantly froze . He was dumbfounded, and didn’t react at all .

Everybody present on the set spaced out on the spot . They looked over when they heard Qiao Anhao scream .

Even Song Xiangsi, who was leaning sluggishly against a tree, casually checking her phone, jumped straight up . Her hands shook, causing her phone to drop to the ground . She instinctively looked over at Lu Jinnian . Before she could open her mouth to speak, he, who was standing nearby, watching the shoot, abruptly leaped forward .

–

The highest point of the swing didn’t reach past two-meter height, so it would take only a few seconds to fall . However, when Qiao Anhao fell, those few seconds felt like they dragged on, passing much slower than they should .

She felt weightless . Her eyes tightly closed in a state of panic as chaos raged in her head . In her heart, she thought that she was done for .

When the swing neared the height of a ground floor, she fell without any warning . Even if she was lucky enough not to get severely hurt, she wouldn’t be able to avoid a light injury . Since she had the role of the second female lead, she had quite a few of scenes . If she were injured, it would hold back the entire filming process . By then, people would inevitably complain .

The sound of the wind rushed into Qiao Anhao’s ears . She quietly gritted her teeth and balled up her fists . She mentally prepared herself for the coming bone-breaking pain .

Qiao Anhao was on the verge of colliding with the ground when a nearby figure launched itself towards her . It crashed against her, cushioned her fall and mitigating the worst of the impact . Everyone on the set froze, staring mutely at the scene of the accident .

Qiao Anhao was a little dazed, for the pain she had anticipated never came . She felt like she was having a dream . Eyes closed, she didn’t budge for a long time .

Qiao Anhao wasn’t heavy, but having fallen from a high distance, she still crushed Lu Jinnian, making him a little dizzy . For a long while, he lay on the ground like a cushion . Suddenly, as though he had realized something, he sat up and took Qiao Anhao, who lay on top of him, in his arms .

Her hair messy, she lay with tightly shut eyes and didn’t move an inch, as though she had fainted .

Lu Jinnian’s eyes flashed with worry, and his handsome face drained of blood .

“Qiao Anhao?”
