The Security Guard Who Won the Heart of the Unattainable Actress - Chapter 25.1

Chapter 25.1

What on purpose? What was on purpose?

The corner of her mouth was incredibly hot, even though Ran Mingyue’s touch was brief.

Ran Mingyue… kissed her…

Is she crazy? Is it the magic of this small space that made Ran Mingyue lose her mind?

Kissing her on purpose? Or toying with her on purpose?

Ran Mingyue’s microphone was already unplugged, hanging listlessly by her hem. Li Guang’s lips moved, but not a single word came out.

There were people outside, guests, and danger.

And this small space was precarious.

But she kissed her. With that affectionate look, Li Guang even had the illusion that she saw a sense of devotion in Ran Mingyue’s eyes.

And it was so secretive…

“Sister Mingyue, I… I don’t understand.” After a long time, Li Guang felt that her words seemed to be spoken by someone else, as if they didn’t come from her own throat.

She truly didn’t understand Ran Mingyue’s words, so her heart was flustered, and her body was stiff.

She absolutely didn’t dare to move. Li Guang was also afraid of saying the wrong thing.

“You still don’t understand what I mean?”

Ran Mingyue’s tone was more helpless. Her breathing was not calm, but unfortunately, Li Guang couldn’t feel it at the moment.

With Li Guang, this was also a first for Ran Mingyue. Ran Mingyue was also at a loss about her own impulsive behavior.

She only knew that if she didn’t explain the kiss, the more time she spent with Li Guang, the more uneasy she would feel.

She didn’t want to go on like this, with things being so unclear.

Ran Mingyue’s look of distress was so obvious, it was imprinted in Li Guang’s eyes. Li Guang had seen this expression before.

During that acting practice two years ago, when Ran Mingyue kissed her… it was the exact same look.

Right after that time, she and Ran Mingyue were separated for two years, and they only met again now.

Li Guang’s heart became even more flustered. She steadied her mind and spoke.

“It’s, it’s okay… You don’t, you don’t have to be in such a hurry,” Li Guang could only instinctively try to comfort her. “It’s not like we haven’t kissed before.”

Ran Mingyue almost thought she had misheard: “What?”

“Xiao Li, turn on the camera. And, Mingyue’s microphone is off. Did it get accidentally turned off? Remind her to turn it back on.”

In the quiet, ambiguous small space, Wang Rou’s voice rang out, breaking the silence between Ran Mingyue and Li Guang.

She pointed to Ran Mingyue’s microphone. “Sister Wang told you to turn it on.” She then pointed to the button under her left shoulder. “My camera also needs to be turned on.”

Ran Mingyue felt a headache coming on. “Can we talk when the show takes a break?”

“We… Okay.” Li Guang really wanted to tell Ran Mingyue to forget it. It’s okay. But she saw that Ran Mingyue seemed to be taking this very seriously, so she obediently nodded.

Explain the kiss?

No need, really no need.

Actually, as long as Ran Mingyue said it was an accident, Li Guang would pretend that nothing had happened.

Just like two years ago.

Li Guang remembered clearly. Two years ago, Ran Mingyue didn’t have time to explain why that kiss was so real, and she and Ran Mingyue’s relationship stopped there. They lost contact.

She knew that Ran Mingyue met with so many big stars all year long. She was nothing compared to them. So Li Guang was very careful about her position.

Just a security guard and a client.

Li Guang was confused. She couldn’t figure out where this sudden, subtle sense of loss in her heart came from.

Li Guang had also thought many times that she might find a suitable opportunity to explain to Ran Mingyue why she had called her that time.

Back then, the director of that online variety show asked Li Guang to call the most impressive person she knew in the industry. Li Guang said she knew Ran Mingyue.

She really had Ran Mingyue’s phone number, but she had never called in two years.

When the director of the variety show heard Li Guang say she was going to call Ran Mingyue, he immediately tagged Ran Mingyue in that segment. Then, Li Guang was fiercely scolded by Ran Mingyue’s fans who rushed over.

Sigh.

Even when Li Guang recalled it later, all she wanted to do was call herself an idiot. If she were a fan of Ran Mingyue at the time, she would also scold this obscure artist for daring to use Ran Mingyue’s name for fame.

The light in the cardboard house was poor. Li Guang couldn’t see that Ran Mingyue’s face also had a burning temperature that was no less than her own.

Both of them were in an awkward situation right now and didn’t have the mental capacity to think about what the other person looked like.

Ran Mingyue knew she was being impulsive today.

But she didn’t think her impulse was wrong.

Even if it was just a slight possibility, she had to fight for it, didn’t she?

If she just kept waiting, when would she be able to express her feelings?

Ran Mingyue put her microphone back on. The fans in front of the camera finally followed Li Guang into the cardboard house.

“Ah! I see her!”

“Ran Mingyue’s camera was black for a while. I thought my goddess Mingyue was going to be the first one taken down…”

“It turns out the staff member didn’t turn on her camera, right?”

“Is the security guard following my sister even capable? Is that 06?”

“Hahahaha, did it switch? Didn’t you all notice? It switched a long time ago. It was very dark inside, so you thought it was a black screen.”

“What????”

“Holy crap, it’s true! It switched a long time ago! We misunderstood the sister from before.”

“Ahhhhhhh, this is so frustrating. The thought of hiding with someone in a place like this would give me claustrophobia.”

“But if it’s with my wife Ran Mingyue, I can do it.”

“Wait, the movement of this camera, this distance, who is hiding here with Ran Mingyue?”

“Holy crap, this is so exciting.”

“Don’t move.”

Along with Ran Mingyue’s voice, there was also her slightly heavy breathing. What she didn’t know was that at the moment her voice appeared, the comments and fans in front of the camera all went wild.

This “don’t move” was so suggestive.

So who was moving?

“…Sorry, sorry!” Li Guang’s voice also appeared. Although she didn’t have a microphone on, the space was too small, so the audience could hear her.

“So it was a staff member?”

“I thought my goddess’s official couple was going to appear. Why is it a staff member?”

The thirty-minute countdown was still going on. The pineapple people outside were patrolling, trying to make the players inside come out. Li Guang’s legs were numb.

In this box, they could only be close to each other. Even someone as slow-witted as Li Guang felt very awkward.

The camera didn’t have an infrared function, so it couldn’t capture the scene inside clearly. But people’s eyes would adapt to the environment. Li Guang couldn’t help but see Ran Mingyue’s appearance more and more clearly.

Ran Mingyue’s eyes, her light eyelash shadows with every blink.

…She was one of the best actresses for her eye acting for many years. Li Guang was truly afraid that her heart would jump out of her chest from excitement.

Li Guang restlessly leaned back. The cardboard wall on one side of the house moved back a little.

Just as she moved her leg, her hand also moved to maintain her balance. With this movement, her hand touched something.

Ran Mingyue said again, “…Don’t you move.”

Li Guang was terrified. What did she touch? It was very soft.

Wang Rou’s voice rang out from outside: “Players, congratulations on hiding for ten minutes. There are twenty minutes left. After the hunt mode ends, please return to the villa to claim your rewards. There are currently no casualties.”

That’s what she said, but Ran Mingyue could hear that her teammates were running for their lives and calling for help.

“Should we go out?” Li Guang asked softly. Her hand didn’t dare to touch anything randomly. It was okay if her leg was numb, but she might need a moment to be able to run later.

Ran Mingyue nodded. “We can’t hide for long. I think I hear someone coming. These footsteps…”

The footsteps were hurried. It was clear that someone was being chased.

“Tilt your head a little. I want to see who’s coming,” Ran Mingyue said. Li Guang happened to be blocking the hole that was already cut. Ran Mingyue had to lean over to see the situation outside.

Li Guang obediently tilted her head. When Ran Mingyue came over, her breath brushed against Li Guang’s neck. Li Guang really wanted to hold back from moving, but her neck couldn’t help but tilt back a little.

Ran Mingyue’s hand, however, held the back of her neck. She pulled Li Guang toward her. Her eyes were telling her—don’t move.

But… it was so itchy.

Li Guang was on the verge of tears. She just wanted to shrink away. But Ran Mingyue’s hand was holding the back of her head, giving Li Guang no chance to escape.

After Ran Mingyue got closer, that warm, woody scent of melted snow, which was familiar and a favorite of Li Guang’s, enveloped her again. It turned out that Ran Mingyue had put perfume behind her ears. You could only smell it when you got close.

Li Guang couldn’t help but take a sniff.

It smelled good.

She wanted to take another sniff. Li Guang found a word to describe herself. Right now, she was like a cat that had smelled catnip.

“…Li Guang,” Ran Mingyue was left with a barely audible breath. Now she was the one who felt the itch, and Li Guang was completely unaware.

Li Guang’s stray hairs also brushed against Ran Mingyue’s neck when she tilted her head.

The itch wasn’t on the skin. It was in her heart.

She had just kissed her. Ran Mingyue was already not satisfied. This little cat was also walking right into her trap. She was scared of her just now, but now she’s not?

To restrain her impulse, the veins on Ran Mingyue’s other hand, which was resting on Li Guang’s shoulder, bulged slightly from the force.

Why bother with teammates? Just look at Li Guang.

“Help me!”

Before Ran Mingyue could see, a familiar voice came from outside. Ran Mingyue’s face immediately darkened. “An opponent.”

Jiang Qiaoye rushed over. Ran Mingyue hushed Li Guang, restraining the itch in her heart.

She was going to pretend that no one was inside. Plus, Jiang Qiaoye had two pineapple people following him. With the two they had, most of the NPCs’ firepower had come over.

Jiang Qiaoye only knew how to hide, not to fight. In fact, the production team didn’t say that players couldn’t fight back. And Wang Rou had said that any props they could get their hands on could be used. They just needed to hit the three life points on the back, chest, and shoulder to take down an NPC.

“Ahhhhhhh, help me!”

Jiang Qiaoye ran to the vicinity of the cardboard house. “There’s someone in here, right? There must be! Who is it? Come out and save me! Hey… This can be a hiding spot? This trash heap can actually be a hiding spot?”

Ran Mingyue and Li Guang held their breath.

Jiang Qiaoye was reading the words on it, hitting it hard. “Is it one-time use? Who’s inside? Come out and save me! Anyway, they can’t hunt me down yet, so save me!!”

Ran Mingyue: “Aren’t you afraid I’ll kill you later?”

“Holy crap… Sister Ran, it’s you, Sister Ran!” Jiang Qiaoye trembled. Before the NPCs rushed over, he violently pushed the cardboard house to the side and shook it frantically. “Then I’m sorry, Sister Ran. I’m leaving.”

As he shook it, the roof of the cardboard house was torn off, and the scene became suddenly clear in front of all the viewers’ cameras.

Ran Mingyue was close to the camera. Because of the angle, her collarbones and beautiful upper body curves were visible.

This was the posture Ran Mingyue and Li Guang had been in before. Because Ran Mingyue needed to see the situation outside, one of her hands was on Li Guang’s shoulder.

Her neck, her nose bridge, and her collarbones. These three combined and appearing in front of the fans were enough to be a showstopper.

Not to mention, Ran Mingyue’s collarbones were so alluring.

“One second ago: Jiang Qiaoye, do you want to die! The next second: Jiang Qiaoye, thank you.”

“Ahhhhhhh, I’m dead!”

“Are my goddess’s collarbones and figure real?”

“I’m so tired of saying I envy the staff.”

“Is there really no one who can edit a video of the goddess and the staff member, hahahahahaha?”

“You can tell that the staff member is really immune to female celebrities!”

“If it were me, I really couldn’t hold back. But Brother Ye is also incredible. How did he just happen to destroy this house?”

“Don’t panic!” Li Guang had just shouted, but her expression became strange. She wanted to sneeze.

In the first episode, Jiang Qiaoye was right about one thing. The accompanying security guards were, to a certain extent, the guests’ human shields. They could take one hit from the NPCs. But the security guards’ health bars weren’t that thick. Once they were attacked, they lost their protective function.

“What’s wrong?” Ran Mingyue noticed that Li Guang’s expression was off.

Now the roof was gone. The pineapple NPCs were watching them menacingly. It was still drizzling, and they weren’t wearing raincoats.

Li Guang wanted to open her hand to shield Ran Mingyue from the rain.

“06, get out of the camera’s view. After the cardboard house is revealed, the players have to face the NPCs alone,” Wang Rou said. “You can only appear if they ask for your help.”

“Okay, okay, I got it. I’m leaving—” As Li Guang was speaking, the itch in her nose became more obvious. She was about to sneeze but quickly covered her mouth with her other hand. “Sister Mingyue, run!”

She was really going to sneeze!

How could she sneeze at such a serious and tense moment? It was going to ruin everything!

Li Guang squirmed in front of Ran Mingyue. Ran Mingyue: “?”

“Are you okay, Li Guang?” Ran Mingyue wondered if it was because she had kissed Li Guang, which had confused her.

“Ah-choo!”

With one sneeze from Li Guang, the rickety cardboard house collapsed with a loud bang.

Li Guang: “?”

Production team, what are you doing? What are you doing?

Ran Mingyue was also stunned. The pineapple people reacted faster than them after a moment of surprise.

“Run!”

The cardboard house completely collapsed. Ran Mingyue ran outside at top speed.

Li Guang also left. The camera on her switched to a wide shot.

Li Guang’s face was full of self-blame. If it weren’t for that sneeze, Ran Mingyue wouldn’t have lost this one-time shelter.

If a person had stayed in there, they could have definitely survived the next twenty minutes.

“Help! Teacher Ran, Teacher Ran, come and save me!”

Ran Mingyue was originally running into the woods, but Hua Yuzhi’s voice called out to her. She realized that Hua Yuzhi was hiding in the bushes nearby. Two pineapple people were in front of her, pressing in on her.

Her teammate was in danger, so Ran Mingyue naturally had to go and save her. She had nothing on her now, so she could only go in headfirst.

After reaching Hua Yuzhi, Ran Mingyue took advantage of Pineapple Person 1’s distraction and rushed up, punching the life point on the pineapple person’s back.

But it was no use. In an emergency, Ran Mingyue didn’t hit it.

Now, Ran Mingyue and Hua Yuzhi were both in the attack range of the pineapple people.

“Oh my gosh, is it that hard? It seems like it’s impossible to subdue an NPC with your bare hands.”

“Watch out!” Hua Yuzhi yelled. When the pineapple person swung their knife, she wanted to rush over and push Ran Mingyue away, but Ran Mingyue dodged.

The pineapple person was coming for Ran Mingyue, directly targeting her. The knife hit her shoulder, and Ran Mingyue was at low health.

“Teacher Ran!!!”

“Stop yelling. Remember to find a weapon later,” Ran Mingyue said in a low voice. She pulled Hua Yuzhi to the side to hide. She also picked up the discarded cardboard to throw. The messy cardboard boxes didn’t hit the NPC.

Even so, she just exchanged a look with Li Guang and didn’t call for Li Guang’s help.

“What the heck is this? Even you can’t hit them?” Hua Yuzhi was panicking. She knew that if she were the one who got hit, she might be done for.

But Ran Mingyue could still get up and pull her to run.

Hua Yuzhi said, “Teacher Ran, run! Our team still needs a main member. Don’t mind me, just go!”

Hua Yuzhi then pointed to Li Guang. “06, 06, wuwuwuwu, Teacher Ran, where’s your accompanying security guard? 06, you have to protect our only fighter!”

Li Guang was ready. She was getting ready. But she shrugged, indicating: “Teacher Ran hasn’t called me yet. I can’t come out.”

Li Guang was very nervous, but she also believed that Ran Mingyue must have a certain level of confidence, which was why she hadn’t called for her help.

Pineapple Person 2 no longer focused on Hua Yuzhi. After all, Hua Yuzhi wasn’t very strong in combat. One more hit would be enough to take her down. But Ran Mingyue was at low health, and she was the main player on the team.

“Oh my gosh, ahhhhh, why is my goddess being targeted when she’s trying to save someone?”

“No way, is the powerhouse from the last round going to get taken down here?”

“I’m a firm supporter of Ran Mingyue. I can’t watch if she’s not here.”

“I don’t think that 06 you’re all praising so much is useful at all. At least Hua Yuzhi’s security guard blocked for her just now.”

“Don’t speak too soon. If Brother Ye hadn’t come over, she wouldn’t have been taken down. Ran Mingyue could have survived in there until the end.”

“I’m also dying of laughter that 06’s sneeze took down the house.”

“There are always some classic moments blessed by the god of variety shows!”

Ran Mingyue was still holding on to Hua Yuzhi, trying to run to a safe place. It was her first time filming this kind of variety show, and her stamina was depleting rapidly.

Her footsteps slowed down by a beat.

At this moment, the pineapple person found an opportunity and swung the knife at Ran Mingyue.

The angle was just right.

“06! Come quickly!”

Li Guang received the instruction. She rushed forward like a whirlwind. Before anyone could react, she kicked the pineapple person away.

Comments: “?”

“?????”

“No way.”

“Am I dreaming? Did I see a pineapple fly?”

In the time that Li Guang was running, she had already asked other staff members.
