The Beauty and the Brain

Chapter 163

He sat on the grass, overwhelmed with regret and guilt.

If he had been a bit more skilled and his shooting had been a bit better, perhaps he would have hit the

target

decisively just now.

If he hadn’t been so afraid for his life and always trying to hide in the back, maybe Buck wouldn’t have

died.

But what was the point of thinking about all this now? He had killed that man, but it wouldn’t bring Buck

back

to life.

Darwin had never experienced such pain in his life. He fell to the ground, wishing he could shoot

himself. dead. At that moment, if someone had come to attack him, he wouldn’t have even resisted. He

felt like he

wasn’t even a man just then!

He only stayed for half a month, and decided that this was not his territory, so he tried various ways to

do less work and slack off more. But why did Buck treat him like one of his own, like a fool?

Darwin sat on the ground, motionless, when suddenly the surrounding lights turned on and a sharp

alarm

sounded, making the pitch-black forest as bright as day.

He hadn’t reacted yet, what was the situation now?

Did the enemy occupy their army camp? Was he going to be captured? Then Marie couldn’t find him,

what

would happen to the movie?

His mind was a complete mess, until someone came over, patted him, and said, “The drill is over, get

up.”

Darwin looked confused, touched his face, and asked, “What drill?”

He turned around and standing right behind him was one of the instructors. The instructor explained,

“This is your final exam, just a drill. Don’t cry, Buck isn’t dead.”

Darwin was dumbfounded, “Not dead? Really not dead?”

The instructor said helplessly, “Check him for a pulse and breathing, all right? There’s no need to cry,

young

man.”

Just now, Darwin was too busy blaming himself to check Buck’s “corpse”. He went over and touched

Buck’s chest, there was no blood at all. Then he touched the artery on Buck’s neck, and it was pulsing

happily!

Darwin laughed, wiped his face, and said, “If he’s not dead, why isn’t he moving?”

The instructor threw him a bullet and said, “Anesthetic bullet, mixed with red paint on it, otherwise how

would it scare you stinkers?”

Darwin suddenly thought of the person in camouflage behind him and asked, “So, they aren’t a terrorist

group?”

The instructor was speechless, “What terrorist group? Isn’t this your Sergeant O’Neil?”

Darwin said, “So, what was this drill? The instructor was ‘it’, and were we the tagged players?”

The instructor glanced at him and said, “All right, enough talking. Go assemble.”

Darwin returned the bullet to the instructor and immediately ran down to gather with the others. Upon

learning that Buck hadn’t died, he was overjoyed.

Not long after, those comrades who had “died” earlier gradually returned to the team. After the

instructor

finished his speech, he praised their performance this time and let them go back.

Buck poked Darwin and asked, “I heard that when I died, you cried?”

Darwin kicked him and said, “Nonsense! Why would I cry?”

Buck laughed loudly as he ran away, “Don’t pretend anymore! The instructor told me! The whole army

camp

knows!”

Darwin was rendered speechless.

The next day, Dennis accompanied Marie to pick up Darwin, as he was worried about Marie’s injury

and

wanted to be there with her.

Marie and the others were at the door, glanced at Dennis, and said, “Why does it feel like parents

picking up

their son from school?”

Dennis, with his head down working on documents, said, “My son couldn’t possibly be as foolish as

Darwin.”

Marie was rendered speechless.

Not long after, Darwin came out. Having not seen him for many days, Darwin had gotten quite tanned.

He no

longer looked like the inexperienced youth he once was, now exuding a strong masculine aura.

Several men close to Darwin came out to see him off, while a few instructors came out to greet

Dennis.

Darwin looked around and asked, “Buck, where’s Sergeant O’Neil? Why didn’t he come?”

Buck scratched his head awkwardly and said, “You shot him with a whole round of bullets yesterday,

and all

that anesthesia is enough to make him sleep until tomorrow.”

Darwin was rendered speechless.

After exchanging pleasantries, Darwin got in the car. Marie turned to look at him and asked with a

smile,

“How was the d

yesterday?”

Darwin glared at her, “What are you talking about? Why didn’t you answer my call yesterday?”

Marie shrugged, “Didn’t this give you a better experience of camaraderie? I heard you even cried

yesterday?”

Darwin was rendered speechless.

So, did the whole world know about this? Didn’t he care about his reputation?

When Darwin returned to the production team, it indeed caused quite a cheer.

Originally, Darwin was an inexperienced youth, and the entertainment industry was never short of

Get Bons

inexperienced youths. In fact, many people said that Darwin was just good-looking, but he didn’t have

much

distinctiveness.

However, Darwin at that time looked just like a young soldier. He wore casual clothes, but whether

standing or sitting, his silhouette was always upright and strong.

Got a bit tanned, not as conventionally handsome as before, but gained a touch of fortitude and

composure.

When he wore the costume from the movie, his facial features were as handsome as a scholar, and his

eyes

were as sharp as a lion. This was the appearance that Jansen should have had in the later stages.

No matter if it was Sabrina, even the assistants in the production team were blushing while looking at

Darwin. Darwin was just too handsome now!

Marie smiled with relief, “Finally, it’s all sorted out. Darwin is actually quite handsome now.”

“Oh? Really?” Dennis looked up at her.

Marie shuddered and immediately shook her head, “No! Of course, you’re still the most handsome!

Darwin is

just a child!”

Dennis glanced at her, “You’re not that big either.”

Marie was rendered speechless.

She was just young! Young! Dennis was simply jealous of her!

After running with the production team for three days, they finally confirmed that Darwin had fully

integrated into the role of Jansen, and then they left with peace of mind.

Marie felt exhausted, thinking that she was just like an old mother, running around and fussing for

Darwin.

Even if you chose the artist yourself, you still had to support them even if you were crying.

Darwin was methodically carrying out the filming, occasionally taking breaks to have a meal with Marie,

but they didn’t see Sasha.

Darwin became a bit anxious. Ever since he secretly felt a spark between him and Sasha, he had been

doing his best for her. However, for some reason, Sasha just ignored him.

Now it was even worse, they couldn’t see Sasha at all.

Marie shook her head helplessly, “Sasha is filming? In seclusion.”

“What movie was filmed in what seclusion?” Darwin asked.

“Depression, Sasha played the role of a depressed girl. She needed to immerse herself in the role, so

she wouldn’t be hanging out with us during that time,” Marie said.

Darwin was a bit dumbfounded, “She’s so immersed in her role, could she actually become

depressed?”

Marie pursed her lips and said, “That shouldn’t be the case, right? Sasha is very good at distinguishing

between her roles on and off stage.”

Darwin rolled his eyes because Sasha was too good at separating her on-screen and off-screen

personas. In

the play, her role was madly in love with Darwin, but as soon as the director yelled “cut,” she

immediately stopped crying and continued to dislike Darwin as she normally did.

Darwin, biting his fork, asked Marie, “Marie, do you think my movie could win an award?”

Marie shook her head and said, “It’s hard to say, it depends on your performance. Anyway, the movie

theme is

here for you. This kind of war film is very popular among the older generation of artists and it’s easy to

win

awards. But as for which award, I don’t know.”

Darwin asked again, “So, can I get the best actor award?”

Marie couldn’t catch her breath and almost choked. She glanced at Darwin and said, “Quite ambitious,

huh? Wanting to get the best actor award?”

Darwin nodded, “Yeah, so many people were saying I’m not as good as Sasha. I need to win the best

actor

award.”

Marie picked up some vegetables and asked, “What does it have to do with you getting the best actor

award or not, since you’re not as good as Sasha?”

Darwin stiffened his neck and said, “Of course it’s related! If I were with Sasha, wouldn’t people say I’m

living

off a woman?” All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Marie said, “Who did you want to be with?”
