Chapter 17 This kid is really handsome
Upon hearing the familiar language, Xie Mingmu looked up at the shocked little black girl, his mouth forming an "O" shape.
Xie Mingmu felt a gust of wind behind his head, as if something was hitting him. At that moment, Xie Mingmu was holding the camera in his left hand, and his right hand instinctively reached back to grab it. Thanks to his excellent physical fitness, he successfully caught the "hidden weapon".
The process may seem simple, but it is actually very dangerous, and we do not recommend imitating it.
"hiss!!"
Gasps of shock rippled through the crowd. Those around were incredulous at the sight. Shouldn't Xie Mingmu have been hit on the back of the head by a baseball and passed out? How could this have happened?
Kim Da-hyun looked at herself in a panic as she accidentally threw the baseball, already imagining what would happen next. If word got out, the online trolls would smear her again, saying things like she was ugly... But she didn't expect that the photographer she had almost hurt would catch the baseball so easily, just like a master who had been doing this for a long time.
Then, just like Chou Tzu-yu, his mouth formed an "O" shape, and he covered his mouth with his hand. At this moment, when Chou Tzu-yu looked at Xie Ming-mu, she also had starry eyes. She had heard of kung fu since she was a child and firmly believed in its existence. Today, seeing someone who should know kung fu, she admired him even more.
The surrounding staff stared blankly. The PD, true to his word, knew how to seize the moment and immediately shouted, "Did you capture this scene just now?" Unfortunately, the cameras had been turned off, so the photoshoot team naturally wouldn't have filmed this scene, which made the PD very disappointed, as they missed an opportunity for hype.
Xie Mingmu looked at the shocked expressions on the faces of those around him. Although he felt a sense of satisfaction, his expression remained calm. If this were ancient times, he would definitely be a general, after all: "He who has thunder in his heart but a calm face can be appointed a general." But this is modern times, and he can only be looked down upon as: "What are you pretending for?"
Xie Mingmu calmly tossed the baseball back to Jin Duoxian, observing everyone's reactions. "Am I supposed to tell you all about the two years I've been eating late-night porridge? Looks like my skills are getting better and better. Although I can't compare to Stephen Chow's punch that shatters a basketball, I was just so cool! I'm so proud of myself!"
"Oppa, are you alright?" Kim Da-hyun finally snapped out of her daze and rushed over. Kim Da-hyun didn't know Xie Mingmu's age, so calling him Oppa wouldn't be wrong; she couldn't very well call him Ajusshi.
"It's nothing," Xie Mingmu said casually, trying his best to hide his smugness.
"I'm so sorry," Kim Da-hyun said pitifully, "I was shooting a pictorial just now, and I accidentally threw the baseball away. I didn't expect this to happen..."
"It's okay, don't worry about it." Seeing Kim Da-hyun's state, and considering that it was an accident and that she was Mina's teammate and would be his sister-in-law in the future, Xie Mingmu chose to forgive her. However, worried that she might overthink things, Xie Mingmu could only make his tone extremely gentle.
At this moment, Kim Da-hyun held Xie Mingmu's hand and observed it. She found that it was only a little red. "Oppa, you are so amazing." Kim Da-hyun said with some admiration. To be honest, this was the first time she had seen such an amazing person.
"So-so." Xie Mingmu suddenly leaned close to Kim Da-hyun's ear and whispered, "Don't let this get out, okay? I'm a very low-key person."
When Kim Da-hyun saw Xie Mingmu suddenly lean in and feel his breath, she blushed a little. She thought he would say something important, like how he acquired such skills, but she didn't expect him to say something so strange. A question mark popped into her mind. There were so many people here, wouldn't it be normal for this to get out?
After this little incident, the film crew's attitude towards him improved. They had initially looked down on him because he was a newcomer, but seeing his imposing manner, they realized he was not someone to be trifled with. They knew that if they angered him, he would be hot-tempered and might get a beating.
Xie Mingmu didn't know what they were thinking, nor did he care what they thought; as long as he could continue, that was enough.
After getting ready, watching Mina walk with her penguin-like gait, Xie Mingmu felt a pang of nostalgia. Xie Mingmu knew this was a result of her years of ballet training. Back when they were in the same dance class, Xie Mingmu had mocked her, but his reaction was terrible; Mina ignored him for many days.
Mina was shocked as she looked at Xie Mingmu, who was photographing her. She hadn't expected him to actually do it for real and become a photographer at the company. She couldn't understand why he didn't focus on developing his career in Japan.
Looking at the camera, Mina was a little nervous. Generally speaking, Mina had already overcome this anxiety, but today was different. Today she was facing an acquaintance, and a very close one at that. This was different from previous shoots, and she felt a sense of shame.
Xie Mingmu rarely saw Mina shy. He never expected her to behave like this. Even when she confessed her feelings, she looked sincere and not shy at all. It was her frankness that made Xie Mingmu shy. When he lowered his head shyly, Mina even secretly licked her lips.
"Hello everyone..." Out of professionalism, Mina barely managed to keep her expression in check and cooperated with the production team in filming the preview segment, but she avoided looking at Xie Mingmu to prevent herself from accidentally laughing out loud.
When Xie Mingmu saw that Ming Jingnan was avoiding the camera, out of professionalism, he tried to take pictures of her from several different angles. Ming Jingnan quickly turned her head away again to avoid making eye contact with Xie Mingmu.
Xie Mingmu was completely baffled. What was Mina doing? Was she playing hide-and-seek with him? Full of questions, Xie Mingmu ended the filming of the pilot segment in bewilderment.
Back at the company, as usual, Xie Mingmu was processing video footage when Jin Beer Belly patted him on the shoulder: "I didn't realize you were so nice. By the time we finished processing the footage, it was already evening. We're going out for dinner tonight, do you want to come along?"
It was obvious that the beer belly was extending a friendly gesture. He hadn't mentioned the dinner party yesterday, clearly not taking him seriously. That was understandable; Xie Mingmu was just a temporary worker, there was no need to get to know him, and he didn't know where he'd go after filming ended.
However, after learning that Xie Mingmu had this skill, his attitude improved. Men of this age in the peninsula grew up watching Hong Kong kung fu movies, so they naturally became curious about the real Xie Mingmu and wanted to have a drink with him, chat, and satisfy their curiosity.
Although Xie Mingmu didn't care, he figured it was better to make himself more comfortable in the team than not, so he eventually agreed to have dinner with them.
