Chapter 283 Accident
"Take care of your parents on their way home. The snow hasn't melted yet in Lühua, so please be extra careful on the road. Mom, I'll leave you here. Call me when you get home."

At the airport entrance, Lu Ze did not get out of the car. A large tour group had been blocking the entrance, making it easy for them to recognize him. For safety and to avoid causing trouble, he could only stay in the car and watch his parents leave.

Liu Bin got out of the car and carried all the luggage upstairs. He then ran around helping Lu Ze arrange the shipping for the three members of the Lu family. The three of them hadn't brought much luggage when they arrived, but Lu Ze had indeed prepared quite a lot of things for them when they left.

The three members of the Lu family walked to the airport entrance. Lu Nan turned around and waved to Lu Ze with a silly smile. Lu Ze waved back in response, and then they disappeared from Lu Ze's sight.

He lit a cigarette. It was a bit breezy and cool today. Apparently, a cold front was coming to Shanghai and would bring some snow. After the cigarette burned out, he watched Liu Bin jog out of the airport, open the car door, and get in.

Today is the 3rd, and work starts tomorrow. He needs to go back to Jiangsu and Zhejiang now to prepare for tomorrow's scenes. It's a little past 3 pm now, and he estimates he'll arrive in Dongyang around 6 pm. Liu Bin started the car, and a wisp of smoke drifted out of the rear window before the window slowly closed and the car drove away into the distance.

He had a great time these past two days. He took his parents to many places. Although Lu Weiguo's legs were not very convenient and he couldn't walk for long periods of time, and he was very reluctant to sit in a wheelchair, they were overjoyed when they saw him on the road. Not to mention Li Yumei, even the usually taciturn Lu Weiguo showed a rare smile.

Finally, the four of them took a family photo at the temple fair. The photo has now been developed and put into Lu Ze's wallet. Whenever he opens it, a warm feeling always flows through his heart.

The word "home" may not have a strong meaning for many people. Even Lu Ze finds it difficult to describe whether it should be a house or simply a few people who are your direct relatives.

But this vague word always brings people a warm feeling, like the sun. While it gives you strength, you also need to nourish it with the nutrients you have gained so that it can grow stronger and create a cycle.

Isn't that amazing?

Therefore, in order to prevent this cycle from collapsing, to make it grow stronger, and to allow himself to absorb more power from it, Lu Ze has to keep going!

A car accident occurred on the national highway, and a truck overturned. Fortunately, the driver was unharmed, but he sat by the roadside smoking with a worried look on his face. This caused Lu Ze to arrive at the hotel designated by the film crew almost an hour later than expected.

Looking at the temperature, Lu Ze realized that the temperature drop was much faster than he had expected. It was now two degrees Celsius, and it was already mid-February, almost the end of February. This year's temperature was truly abnormal.

However, Lu Ze had already made preparations and put on thermal pants this morning. Although they were a bit hot in the morning, they were just right for the current temperature.

Everyone was saying in the group chat that they had returned, but the hotel corridor was very quiet. It was probably because everyone was tired. Otherwise, you could still hear a few people talking about drinking in the corridor at this time. Even if they had already started drinking, Lu Ze would have received the message.

Lu Ze was also very tired. Seeing that everyone was resting, he decided not to invite anyone for drinks. He went back to his room, packed his luggage, then went to the restaurant to eat something to fill his stomach. After taking a shower, he sat on the sofa and watched TV until after nine o'clock in the evening, when he crawled into bed and entered the system space.

The system's timed alarm clock kept waking Lu Ze up precisely on time, not even a second off. However, when Lu Ze opened the curtains, his mood became a little complicated.

"Holy shit."

Northerners have a somewhat indifferent attitude towards snow, yet they also feel a certain intimacy with it. Lu Ze, who has lived in the South for many years, has indeed rarely seen snowflakes falling from the sky. Personally speaking, he really enjoys seeing snow.

However, considering the work, this snow was not what Lu Ze wanted to see. The snow was not very thick, probably less than five millimeters, a thin layer on the road. But this kind of snow is the most dangerous for vehicles and pedestrians on the road. He didn't know if this snow would have any impact on the filming.

Lu Ze glanced at his phone and saw that He Ruikuan had notified everyone in the group that filming would proceed as scheduled, and everyone would gather at 7:30 as usual. After breakfast, they would wait for the bus at the gate. Lu Ze had no objections to this. He put his phone on the table, washed up, and then went to wake up Old Song, the guy next door who had trouble getting up.

"dong dong dong"

"Happy Chinese New Year! Ask your older brother for a red envelope."

"If you get toothpaste foam on me again, I'll wash all your clothes today, using toothpaste."

Old Song can still get up early occasionally, but for some reason, Lu Ze always runs into him brushing his teeth when he does. Once, when he was talking, Old Song sprayed toothpaste foam all over Lu Ze's face, which has given Lu Ze a psychological trauma regarding Song Guiyuan's mouth.

"Oh my, it's snowing! It's just not snowing much, otherwise we could have a snowball fight."

Lu Ze certainly knew what Song Guiyuan meant by a snowball fight. It wasn't like those romantic scenes in Korean dramas where you grab a small snowball and throw it in the face, with the female lead whining, "Oppa, you're so annoying!" It was more like grabbing a snowball the size of a 40-inch CRT TV and smashing it over someone's head—enough to knock them out, a truly bloody scene. If there was a rock or shard of glass hidden inside, and you weren't wearing a hat, the snowball fight would basically turn into a bloodbath. That's how Lu Ze got the small wound on his head that required five stitches.

After they finished packing, the two went downstairs for a meal. According to the other actors in the crew, the two of them were so eager to go to the toilet together like middle school girls.

After a quick breakfast, the two got on the bus, exchanged New Year's greetings with the other passengers who had already boarded, and then sat by the window, looking down at their phones.

Happy New Year, Uncle Lu!

Upon hearing Tang Renxuan's voice, Lu Ze looked up. The boy placed his hands on his lower abdomen and respectfully wished Lu Ze a Happy New Year. If you were to ask which actor Renxuan was closest to now, it would have to be Lu Ze. Although he had been scared to tears by Lu Ze before, after spending more time with him, the little brat had become very attached to Lu Ze and would always be following him around.

"Happy New Year, Renxuan! Uncle is giving you a red envelope. Take it, but don't let your mom see it. Put it away quickly."

Lu Ze held the child in his arms. At this moment, He Ruikuan and the other two directors boarded the bus, which then started moving slowly toward the filming location.

"Everyone will be weighed when we get to the set. I'll see who's gained weight, and don't blame me for punishing you. You'd better lose weight within a few days, you hear me?"

Liu Ying brought up the issue of weight gain during the Chinese New Year, but none of the actors present had any problems with it. After all, they were professional and wouldn't overeat during the New Year. Take Lu Ze, for example. He weighed himself yesterday morning and was even two pounds lighter than before the New Year. This was undoubtedly related to the strenuous exercise he started an hour after eating.

After arriving at the film set, everyone's weight was checked, and without any surprises, everyone passed. In fact, almost everyone was slimmer than before the holiday. The three directors nodded in satisfaction and announced that Lu Ze and his group should hurry up and get their makeup done.

He took out his phone to compare the photos taken before the holiday with the ones taken now after changing clothes, making sure there were no mistakes. After waiting for the staff to clear the snow from the road, he announced the start of the shoot.

"Find You, Act 9, Scene 4! Begin!"

In the instant he finished dressing, Lu Ze grabbed Tang Renxuan and ran forward with big strides. However, due to his physical "disability," he couldn't run fast at all, making him look rather comical.

"What are you doing! Put my son down! Help! He's trying to snatch my child! Help!"

Ding Renran shouted from behind, and instantly a group of extras set off to chase after Lu Ze. At this moment, Lu Ze ignored Xiao Renxuan's crying and beating, got on a dilapidated motorcycle, and in his panic, it took him several attempts to get the key right and start the engine. He didn't even put away the ladder, but directly put it in gear, twisted the throttle, and prepared to escape from here.

"Xi'er, let's go home. Don't cry, Dad will take you home."

As the car sped up, Lu Ze didn't forget to comfort the crying child, wrapping him in his coat to prevent him from catching a cold and coughing.

The people behind him chased after him with all their might, constantly cursing at Lu Ze. Some kind-hearted people got into their cars and, without even caring about scraping them, suddenly turned around, floored the gas pedal, and relentlessly pursued Lu Ze.

According to the original plan, a police car was supposed to force Lu Ze to stop at this point. Now Lu Ze could see the police car swerving sharply to block him from the side, so he slowed down slightly, but still did not stop completely.

Lu Ze slammed on the brakes when the police car was less than ten meters away. There would have been no problem with that, but Lu Ze was so engrossed in the plot that he overlooked something.

It snowed today.

The road surface had been cleaned, and there wouldn't have been any problems if the braking was done intermittently, so filming began normally. But then Lu Ze slammed on the brakes, causing the tires to slip instantly and hit the police car's wheels, lifting him up and throwing him forward.

In that instant, Lu Ze's only thought was to prevent Tang Renxuan from getting hurt. He held him tightly in his arms and used his hands to support and protect him.

Then, with a "bang," Lu Ze slammed backward onto the windshield of the police car.
