Chapter 601: Chapter 601: This Desert Is Very Dangerous!
Li Mingmo angrily threw away the high-powered binoculars and punched the car’s steering wheel.
"Beep beep beep... beep beep beep..."
The familiar scene played out once more, and the sudden honking of the car drew the attention of Xi Wei, Lu Xiaoning, and Lu Xiuyu.
The three of them all turned their heads sharply towards the off-road vehicle making the noise.
Li Mingmo: "..."
He had some choice words in mind, wondering if he should say them or not!
If he were to drive away now, would that seem too cowardly?
No, that would be too cowardly, Li Mingmo denied that thought himself.
So, to prove he wasn’t cowardly, Li Mingmo immediately opened the car door and got out.
Today, he still wore that handsome face from before, so Xi Wei recognized him at a glance.
"Hey handsome, it’s you again. You’re not on a self-drive tour of the desert, are you?"
Li Mingmo looked displeased: "Is there a problem with that?"
Xi Wei didn’t mind his attitude and said calmly, "Not really. It’s just that people around the desert say it’s dangerous here, especially if you venture too far."
That’s why their film crew only shot at the edge of the desert. If they went too deep and suddenly faced a sandstorm or tornado, it would spell disaster for the crew, let alone for him alone.
"Are you concerned about me?" Li Mingmo gazed intensely at Xi Wei.
"Just a friendly reminder, but you can take it as concern."
After all, he was her first fan, and a handsome one at that.
Judging by Xi Wei’s expression, Li Mingmo knew what she was thinking.
Good thing he had that handsome face ready.
"Yiyi, who is he?" Lu Xiaoning looked at Li Mingmo, feeling he looked somewhat familiar.
Li Mingmo felt guilty under her gaze.
Lu Xiaoning was an observant woman, perceptive, unlike the carefree Xi Wei.
He hoped she wouldn’t recognize him.
"I’m Mo Xi, a fan of this lady," Li Mingmo hurriedly responded before Xi Wei could.
Xi Wei clutched Lu Xiaoning’s arm and whispered, "I also just learned his name."
Lu Xiuyu extended his hand, "Hello, I’m Lu Xiuyu, a friend of Yiyi?"
Li Mingmo didn’t reach out, and Lu Xiuyu wasn’t fazed.
"Friend?" Li Mingmo asked, "Are you her boyfriend?"
Lu Xiuyu smiled without answering.
"Hey..." Xi Wei protested, "Don’t say things like that, okay? If I get famous, this would be a scandal."
"Oh right, Yiyi, my brother brought loads of your favorite snacks from B City!" Lu Xiaoning dragged Xi Wei to where Lu Xiuyu parked.
Seeing the truckload of treats, Xi Wei was stunned, "These are mostly B City’s specialties. They look freshly made. Xiuyu, did you bring them from B City?"
"Yeah," Lu Xiaoning replied, "My brother prepared these. I didn’t even know; he must be worried I’d sneak some."
"Hehe..." Xi Wei picked up a piece of jujube cake and fed some to Lu Xiaoning, "Since you seem so wronged and pitiful, I’ll share a piece with you first."
"Thank you, Xiuyu." Xi Wei said, "I absolutely love the gift you gave me. I haven’t had these treats in ages."
"Haven’t had them in a long time?" Lu Xiuyu sounded concerned, "Is working with the crew tough on you?"
"Not exactly." Xi Wei replied, "It’s just that the things you bought are from shops I loved back home. They do sell them here, but they don’t taste as authentic as those places."
