The Security Guard Who Won the Heart of the Unattainable Actress - Chapter 14

Chapter 14

“Li Guang! Li Guang!” One moment she was right there, and the next, she was gone.

Ran Mingyue didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She anxiously called out to her from outside the glass window, not even realizing that she could just go inside.

“I’m fine!” The person inside also yelled, and her thin legs twitched a couple of times.

Ran Mingyue came to her senses and also went inside in a fluster. Li Guang was still there, trying to tense her core, hoping to use her abdominal strength to get back up.

“Don’t mess around, you’ll hurt your back,” Ran Mingyue said as she went to help her. Li Guang yelled, “No way! My core is great!”

“Okay, okay,” Ran Mingyue agreed with Li Guang, just wanting to help her up quickly. But now Li Guang was lying on the ground with the chair. Ran Mingyue wanted to help, but Li Guang was still trying to get up.

Li Guang couldn’t make her body move into a suitable position to get up.

A simpler way—

Just turn to the side and crawl on the ground, and then just squirm to the side and crawl out.

But.

Li Guang, she really didn’t want to just crawl around in front of Ran Mingyue.

Some people might look alive, but in their hearts, they already wished they were dead.

Some pride could be given up, but it really couldn’t be given up!

“Why are you trying to be so tough?” Ran Mingyue couldn’t stand it anymore. She went forward to help Li Guang. Li Guang was just making her last attempt.

A carp jump, and she actually managed to get halfway up. Her upper body and her straight legs were briefly in the shape of a fallen L.

Ran Mingyue’s hand also reached out and was just grabbed by Li Guang, but then—

Her body couldn’t help but fall backward again. This time, she was taking Ran Mingyue with her.

“Careful!” Li Guang was shocked and cried out in her heart that she was a dead person.

She quickly let go of Ran Mingyue’s hand and then rushed to support Ran Mingyue’s lower back.

As Ran Mingyue was about to fall, Li Guang extended both hands and caught Ran Mingyue in her arms.

Her legs, which were straightened earlier, created a cushion for Ran Mingyue’s fall. But after realizing she had caught her, Li Guang quickly put her legs back down.

Ran Mingyue’s upper body was pressed against an awkward position, especially her head, which was facing an indescribable area.

Ran Mingyue: “…”

The material of Li Guang’s pants was stiff, so she was completely unaware of this. “Are you okay? Sister Mingyue, you didn’t fall, did you?”

“Sister Mingyue?”

Ran Mingyue was in a kneeling-crawling position on top of Li Guang. Her face was red. Although… she was well protected by Li Guang. She looked up at Li Guang.

The coat wrapped around their bodies. Ran Mingyue’s head was next to Li Guang’s chin. The little fuzz on the top of her hair brushed against Li Guang’s chin, making it tickle.

She could only hold back the urge to laugh until she met Ran Mingyue’s eyes. Then she finally couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

The gloom in Li Guang’s heart had long been swept away. Even though she had fallen to the ground, she felt great.

The atmosphere seemed just right. Ran Mingyue had her own intentions and gently rested her head on Li Guang’s body.

Li Guang, however, took out her phone: “Sister Mingyue, I want to take a picture of this moment.”

Ran Mingyue: “?”

One second ago she thought this was such a beautiful atmosphere. Li Guang, you!

“What are you thinking in that head of yours?” Ran Mingyue couldn’t help but ask.

“I’m thinking about facing life with a smile.” Li Guang was the first to give a peace sign to the camera. “When the house is on fire, I’ll take a picture. When life is in chaos, I’ll sleep.”

The camera moved slightly. Ran Mingyue’s bewildered face appeared in the shot. Li Guang smiled brightly. The small dimples on her cheeks had been stretched into a line, and her teeth were white. “Come on, princess, give me a smile.”

Where did all these strange phrases come from?

Ran Mingyue couldn’t help but smile in cooperation.

“Click.”

“Li Guang… move a little.” Ran Mingyue tilted her head to the side, not wanting to stay in that strange position on Li Guang.

“Oh, oh.” This time, Li Guang didn’t hesitate at all. She protected Ran Mingyue’s body and tilted to the side. With her other arm, she propped them up and squirmed to the side a couple of times. The two of them finally got out of that cramped little space, and Ran Mingyue was able to stand up.

After getting up, Ran Mingyue went to get the small cake. Li Guang exclaimed: “Why is my pants white here?”

Ran Mingyue’s heart sank. She turned around and saw a layer of white on the triangular area of Li Guang’s pants. She subconsciously touched her own cheek and was filled with regret. Next time, I will definitely not use this brand of foundation again!

“You just…” Li Guang suddenly realized something. She saw that Ran Mingyue’s face was all red. “I just…”

With all the “justs,” Li Guang suddenly realized what had happened. She coughed twice and said in a way that was trying to cover it up: “It’s okay, I didn’t feel anything.”

Damn chair!

Ran Mingyue felt her face burning. She could only cooperate with Li Guang and pretend that nothing had happened. “You eat this cake.”

Li Guang asked: “Where did this small cake come from?”

“The production team and the guests… said that you security guards have worked hard and asked us to treat everyone.” Ran Mingyue put the box in Li Guang’s hands.

“Is this the same one as last time? The production team is really spending a lot of money.” Li Guang recognized the box. She remembered Wen Yingzhi saying last time that this place was hard to get into and very expensive.

“I’m heading back now.” Ran Mingyue just wanted to escape. Before she left, she pointed to Li Guang’s pants, not daring to point to the exact location. “Wash your pants later.”

“Okay!”

Li Guang’s mind was already on the cake. She couldn’t wait to open the box. As soon as she took the first bite, she squinted her eyes in satisfaction.

Yes! This is the taste! Wuwu, what’s wrong with working overtime? She can work until she dies! The production team is too good. They’re so rich that they can buy a cake from this place!

In the evening, the production team’s cars drove out of the community one after another. When the last car from the director team was leaving, Wang Rou rolled down the window and said hello to Li Guang.

She really liked this little girl. She was happy no matter who she was with, which made people feel good.

“Sister Wang! Thank you, production team!” Li Guang held up the delicate little box in the security office. “You guys are so thoughtful.”

After the car window rolled up, Wang Rou asked the other assistants in confusion: “When did we buy people food?”

…

After You Escape was officially launched on the Apple platform, the views exceeded 100 million overnight. The show’s popularity immediately went to number one on the platform.

Various clips went viral through creative editing by netizens, but each guest’s style was noticeably different. The most popular clips were distributed as follows:

Funny clip: Jiang Qiaoye] [Please remember this man who said he would be a tank and protect everyone equally one second, and the next second, he was so scared that he fainted and woke up screaming for his mom.

Atmosphere team: Song Suoqi and Hua Yuzhi] [They didn’t know how to solve a single puzzle and would only call the killers “big brother” when they were running away.

Steady team: Xiang Que and Wen Yingzhi] [After all, he was the only man who guessed Ran Mingyue’s identity.

Highlight team: Ran Mingyue Warning: high-energy scenes of me killing!

Netizens edited several clips of Ran Mingyue’s subtle changes in expression.

One was when Ran Mingyue shot the sniper behind her with one shot. The other was when Ran Mingyue used a blank to trick Xiang Que and then used two real bullets to kill Wen Yingzhi and a dumbfounded Jiang Qiaoye.

In the end, netizens all said that this show was probably full of glass cannons.

Even the cool and beautiful Ran Mingyue, who had many highlight clips that made people scream, was the same. Who would have thought that such a cool sister would faint at the sight of dot eyes instead of a corpse?

Also, the personal security guards in the production team were mentioned again.

Before, I was quite curious why they didn’t just let them do the show themselves and had to set up a personal security team. After watching the first episode, I finally understood hahaha

How can a show full of glass cannons be without a security guard meat shield!

But I’m a little envious of that number 06 security guard, wuwu. He can hold my goddess Mingyue when she’s about to faint

Sisters, if you say that, I’m going to apply for the job tomorrow

It’s too late. I already checked. The production team has already hired everyone, so it’s not our turn, wuwu

Help, my electronic snack is gone. Do I have to wait another week? I strongly demand that the production team releases all the behind-the-scenes footage for us to watch!

…

And the number 06 security guard, whom everyone envied, woke up early the next morning to go and terminate her contract.

She was still wearing her new work uniform with a coat over it because she wanted to come back and start her shift right away.

A very hardworking employee who hasn’t gotten used to slacking off: If you slack off and I slack off, the boss’s BMW will turn into a bicycle! Don’t! Slack! Off!

Entering the company, Li Guang politely said hello to every staff member she saw.

In the artist’s hall on the second floor, the big screen was playing the first episode of You Escape.

“This popularity, tsk, worthy of an all-star variety show… The escape mode doesn’t really matter, people are just watching for the cast! I should have signed up too.”

“You want to go to You Escape? Forget about it. With that all-star lineup, it’s not our company’s turn for a third-tier artist.”

“Oh, you’re so capable. With that much capability, why don’t you become a top artist and make our company as good as Yaochi’s? Then you can start your own entertainment company.”

The people gathered were laughing and watching TV, and no one noticed Li Guang coming in.

“Ran Mingyue, she’s a well-deserved top artist. Look at the other people’s shots. They’re either funny or non-existent. Only her highlight shots are the most. Just the way she uses a gun, she attracts both male and female fans.”

“Tsk, whose status can a triple-award-winning movie queen’s surpass? Apple TV must have spent a lot of money this time. I even suspect that the show’s script was also meticulously planned.”

Huh? There was no script, though?

“But it’s also difficult, didn’t you see the personal security team the production team hired? I heard that the previous security guards didn’t want to serve these celebrity masters and quit. They just randomly found some people at the filming location.”

Huh? They weren’t random! These guests are pretty good, right?

Even though Li Guang hadn’t had much contact with them, they would give food to the staff. Isn’t that nice?

She was about to look up and refute them when the person talking saw her.

“Li Guang! Why are you here without saying anything?” Fang Zihan saw Li Guang and pulled her into the group. “What are you here for?”

She was Li Guang’s former roommate, and they were both under Xie Yunfei. Fang Zihan had also been unpopular for a long time. She and Li Guang would cheer each other on. Later, she became popular and moved out of the dorm, and they had less contact.

Li Guang said formally: “I’m here to sign the contract termination.”

She was wearing a lot of clothes. It had been blowing warm air in the subway, so her face was flushed. Her hair was tied in a fluffy bun. Although she looked energetic, she still looked a little like a New Year’s doll.

The camera on the TV happened to cut to the scene where Li Guang carried Ran Mingyue into the lake to find clues. It was a shot from the camera on Li Guang’s body. During the brief switch, you could only see her pair of Dr. Martens boots.

Someone said: “It’s true that there was no one else. How could they find someone of this height to be a celebrity’s security guard? The guy looks a little weak, doesn’t he?”

“Ah, oh…” An awkward expression flashed across Fang Zihan’s face. She thought she had said something that hurt Li Guang’s feelings. After all, everyone who joined the company at the same time as Li Guang knew that she was difficult to make popular. Even with her looks, she had missed several opportunities to become famous.

“It’s okay.” Li Guang blew on her drink and drank all the hot water in the paper cup. She felt even warmer. She looked up, dazed, and stared at Ran Mingyue on the screen.

“Hey, Li Guang, have you found a new company?”

“I have a new job.” Li Guang thought about it. She was too hot right now, so she unzipped her jacket, revealing the security uniform underneath. “This is my new job!”

Li Guang knew that she might be looked down upon by others, but it didn’t matter because she wouldn’t look down on herself.

Fang Zihan and the others couldn’t help but laugh: “What are you talking about, Li Guang? Isn’t that a security guard’s uniform?”

Li Guang smiled and touched her work badge.

Fang Zihan then realized that Li Guang wasn’t joking.

“A security guard? You’re a security guard now? Your career has dropped so… quickly?” Ji Yuan also said, “Do you have some difficulties or are you short on money? …Or you can come to my team!”

Fang Zihan rolled her eyes at him: “Come on. Is the money you make from borderline content for just anyone to make? Don’t lead Li Guang astray.”

Before, Ji Yuan was also a mediocre artist. He became popular after shooting a video of himself as a chef with his muscles. The video had over 10 million views. After that, his popularity led to him playing a few roles.

Li Guang shook her head. Xie Yunfei came in from outside: “Li Guang, you got here so fast?”

“I’ll go over there.” She left the discussion group and the strange and surprised looks from everyone. It wasn’t as hot anymore, so she zipped up her jacket tightly.

The contract termination process was smooth. Xie Yunfei didn’t say much to Li Guang. Li Guang left after signing.

Before she left, Xie Yunfei couldn’t help but say: “Xiao Li, when you go to your new company, you have to work hard. With your qualifications, you should definitely be popular.”

Li Guang agreed: “Okay, I will definitely work hard at my new company!”

Get bigger and stronger! Become the leader of the security team!

As she was leaving, Ji Yuan’s voice came to her ears.

“With Ran Mingyue’s current achievements, who would have thought that we were actually in the same acting class at school!”

Some of the people who were in the same class as her also did well and became first or second-tier artists in the country, but their achievements paled in comparison to Ran Mingyue’s.

Out of her five films, three of them won her the Best Actress award. Her record was unmatched.

Ran Mingyue had already won a trophy before coming to the school for further studies. After finishing her studies, Ran Mingyue broke through her bottleneck, and her acting skills went up another level. Her next two works both won her awards consecutively.

Therefore, she was still mentioned by the teachers as a positive example.

But the people who had been in the same classroom as Ran Mingyue knew that things were different now. If they said they knew Ran Mingyue, they would definitely be seen as trying to ride her coattails.

“Li Guang, hey! Are you leaving?” Seeing that Li Guang had no intention of participating in the discussion, Ji Yuan wanted to stop her.

Ji Yuan said: “Speaking of which, I even have a photo of a performance with Ran Mingyue!”

Li Guang’s steps stopped.

Ji Yuan also said, “I even had Ran Mingyue sign my name, and now I can keep it at home as a collectible.”

Li Guang hesitated for a while. Ji Yuan had already come over. He said: “Li Guang, wait for me! I’m going back too. I have to go back and film a video. I have to upload it tonight.”

At school, Ji Yuan and Li Guang were group partners, and their relationship was okay. He advised Li Guang: “I’m serious, why are you a security guard? Li Guang, with your looks, you can attract both men and women. Listen to me and come with me to do…”

When Li Guang looked at him, the elevator’s light was bright, making her eyes look clear.

They were round, like a little animal’s that had a clear mind.

Ji Yuan suddenly couldn’t say the last word.

“That photo of Sister Mingyue’s performance, can I… can I buy it from you?” Li Guang’s voice was a little low. She felt guilty, and her words were apologetic. “I’m her…”

Li Guang paused, and she still chose the adjective that she thought was not quite appropriate: “I’m her fan.”

“Didn’t you say in that little variety show that you know Ran Mingyue? You sat together in class.” Ji Yuan walked into the elevator with her. “You’re so familiar with her, why don’t you just ask her yourself?”

Li Guang hesitated.

She thought about what everyone had been saying: how she could be a security guard, how Ran Mingyue’s status was so high, how this all-star variety show was so popular and hard to get on…

Only one thing was right.

Ran Mingyue’s status was very high, indeed unreachable.

“I only knew her before,” Li Guang said softly, adhering to the principle of not riding anyone’s coattails.

The numbers on the elevator were jumping. They had gotten on on the second floor, so they would arrive quickly.

Ding.

When the doors opened, Li Guang finished the rest of her sentence.

“…But we weren’t that close.”

Li Guang turned her head to look at Ji Yuan. She only knew that the elevator had arrived, so she stepped out, but she heard Ji Yuan’s voice change as he shouted nervously: “Wait—”

It was too late. Li Guang ran into the person standing in front of her.

When she turned her head, their noses almost bumped.

Li Guang was startled, and her heart jumped into her throat.

She took a big step back and retreated into the elevator.

And Ran Mingyue, silently, stepped forward in her extremely thin high heels toward Li Guang.

The tip of her delicate shoe was like the tip of a sword pointed at Li Guang’s Dr. Martens boots, as if to say, I heard everything.
