I Became Popular After Secret Marriage with the Actress

Bai Jin's villa was also dark, Gu Qingtong remembered his own and Deng Dongjun's routine, and suspected that Bai Jin was also waiting for him to squat inside, hesitating to enter, finally he gritted his teeth and stepped in door to go.

I just didn't expect that just as she walked in, she heard a faint arguing from the balcony.

Remembering that Yan Chi was also here, Gu Qingtong's heart tightened. Could it be that the two of them have already quarreled?

I hurried over there.

I never thought about it, when I was at the door, I stretched out a hand from the dark night and scooped her aside.

Gu Qingtong, who had been frightened several times in the secret room today, was already numb, and her first reaction was to look at who was pulling her away.

Only then did she realize that the other party was actually the person she was looking for, Chu Yu.

Chu Yu obviously still disliked Gu Qingtong. When she saw Gu Qingtong sneaking around outside the door, she knew that the other party was here just like herself to do the task.

I thought at that time, she must not let her break the matter of Yanchi and Bai Jin, so that she might be exposed.

Chu Yu, like Wen Ziyao, is a senior, and she was also a little flower who had acted in several heroine dramas, so she naturally couldn't despise someone like Gu Qingtong.

However, she is smarter and more stable, she will not show it if she doesn't like it, she will only silently dislike it in her heart.

This bumpkin is probably the first time she has come into contact with a first-hand melon in the entertainment industry, so she will be warned not to speak out!

Gu Qingtong didn't understand why Chu Yu was so nervous at first, but when she slowly turned her eyes to the balcony, what she saw was the scene of Yan Chi and Bai Jin fighting each other.

Gu Qingtong couldn't see Yanchi's expression at this time, she could only see her clutching Bai Jin's shirt, the aura on her body was very different from the usual indifference, it could even be said that Terrible shadows.

Bai Jin was at a disadvantage, the cynical smile on his face disappeared, and he stared at Yan Chi.

Gu Qingtong, who just wanted to go in, is also a little cowardly, why... why are you fighting?

Is it not because of me? She dumped the blame for herself in her heart.

Bai Jin shattered Gu Qingtong's fantasy with a single word, making her heart ashes.

"In a hurry? Care about her so much? Is it because I said I'm interested in her, or because it hit your pain point?"

Frightened for a moment by Yan Chi's actions, Bai Jin is still a stubborn duck, so he must at least not lose his face.

It wasn't that she didn't want to struggle, but Yan Chi pulled the collar tighter and tighter, almost making her breathless. For the first time, Bai Jin felt an unknown fear that she couldn't see through. What will Yanchi do next?

Gu Qingtong has indeed never seen such a scene. In the first twenty years of her life, she was an ambiguous insulator.

What is this? She originally participated in this variety show to eat other people's Shura field melons, but who would have thought that the melon was actually herself.

Others may not know, how can Gu Qingtong not know, these two people don't like themselves at all!

Yan Chi is her marriage partner, and she doesn't want to have other unknown partners, which is why she is full of hostility towards Bai Jin.

Na Bai Jin just thought it was fun and exciting, so she came to disrupt the situation at will. The two can't say that they know each other, they can only say that they have just known each other for a day.

This is why although Gu Qingtong can't handle her, she doesn't think she will really do anything to herself.

Chu Yu watched Gu Qingtong's expression gradually change from puzzled to a little flustered, thinking that it was as she expected, and she felt that it was necessary to teach this **** well.

Then pretended to be high and whispered: "I haven't seen the world before, so what's the panic, since it's broken, just follow me, don't be discovered."

Gu Qingtong then remembered that there is still an outsider listening to the corner...

I was hesitating whether to go in and let the two stop fighting, but I couldn't let more guests know about it, so An Xin pretended to be ignorant. .

Gu Qingtong thinks that if she is idle now, she is also idle. It just so happens that now the target of the task, Chu Yu, is standing beside her, so it is better to do the task by the way.

So his eyes fell on the back of Chu Yu's collar, and suddenly his eyes lit up, only to see a piece of hair stuck to it.

While Chu Yu was staring nervously at the situation in the room, she raised her hand slightly and twisted the hair.

Just before Chu Yu opened her mouth to question Gu Qingtong, the two of them heard a new movement from the balcony.

Yan Chi's movements suddenly stopped, as if he sensed something.

Bai Jin suddenly felt that the breath of Yan Chi, who was still gloomy and impatient just now, seemed to have changed a little, and the sullenness and shadows disappeared together.

"She knows you..." Bai Jin suddenly became high, and without waiting for Yan Chi's answer, she opened her mouth to say something else, and suddenly raised her voice, "I'm sick. Why? Why are you pulling my hair?!"

Yan Chi's hand holding on to Bai Jin's shirt suddenly loosened, and he only used a voice that only the two of them could hear, with a bit of inexplicable mockery in his indifferent voice:

"You don't really think that I will see you as a rival?"

She put her hair into the same plastic sealed bag that the show team sent to Gu Qingtong, as if she was collecting some DNA evidence.

After doing all this, Yan Chi carefully wiped her wet hands with a tissue, especially the few fingers that had just touched Bai Jin's clothes and hair.

"Your mission is to collect everyone's hair?"

Bai Jin frowned and glared at Yan Chi, and found that she was completely played by Yan Chi.

Not only was she eliminated, but she even made Yanchi easily take away the things needed for the mission.

Gu Qingtong's eyes widened in shock beside him. Isn't collecting hair...my mission? Why do you need to do this late?

Not only was she stunned, but even the director team didn't respond for a while.

It was almost two in the morning, except Director Bu and the executive director who were watching the video, and the rest of the staff had already gone to rest.

Although the microphones of several people were turned off, but because this involved Bai Jin's mission, the camera on the wall never stopped and took pictures of everything.

When Yan Chi suddenly tugged on Bai Jin's collar, he had already made Director Bu immediately think of cutting this section directly. After all, Director Bu and the whole variety show belonged to Hua Yan, why? It is also impossible to use Yanchi as a gimmick.

But looking at this act of holding her hair now, I think it was just Yan Chi pretending to scare Bai Jin just now.

Director Bu looked at the two people in the camera, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and was thinking about how to cut the film so as not to offend these people at the same time, and to tell the failure of the completion of the task go through.

Gu Qingtong was still stunned, but was pulled aside by Chu Yu next to her.

What a foolish person, standing still when they are about to come out after finishing their housework! Chu Yu rolled her eyes in her heart.

As soon as they went out through the back door, they saw Yan Chi coming out from a distance.

"Don't say a word about what you just heard." Chu Yu sternly warned Gu Qingtong.

Gu Qingtong wanted Chu Yu not to say anything, but she was stunned and stunned.

Chu Yu frowned when she saw her stupid appearance:

"Did you hear that? If you want to gain a foothold in this entertainment industry, you have to say less than you should. If I hadn't stopped you and let you in and smashed it, would you be okay?"

Gu Qingtong had no choice but to nod her head as if she had benefited a lot. Then she thought that she should be worried about her finding out, so she asked in a low voice uneasy:

"Senior Chu probably doesn't know who they are talking about, right?"

"I guess it's a little white-faced fresh meat," she said casually, and finally added a stern sentence, "Don't ask these things that shouldn't be asked!"

Chu Yu never thought of the possibility of being of the same sex, so of course, the object they were talking about was substituted for the opposite sex.

In addition, Yan Chi and Bai Jin have such strong personalities, they must have taken care of the little white faces in the circle, and she has seen many such situations.

Gu Qingtong, who was inexplicably regarded as a little white face, secretly blushed.

It's a bit of a shame to eat your own melon with others...

Chu Yu didn't want to reveal any more information, and drove Gu Qingtong away, and went back to continue cooking secretly.

But when she entered the villa again, she saw that Bai Jin seemed to have returned to the sleeping room, the door was closed, and there was a faint sound of falling things.

Bai Jin seemed to be very angry because he was deflated at Yan Chi's place.

Chu Yu and Bai Jin had a bit of an intersection before, knowing that she is not as sweet and easy to get along with as she looks, but at this moment, she feels that her temperament is very scary, and she decides to do it in the future. Stay away from her on the show.

And Gu Qingtong finally regained her freedom, and collected the hair that had been held in her palm. It was too thrilling. Fortunately, she was not found...

I can't help but think back to what Yan Chi just did, but I still can't understand it.

However, she soon discovered that the director's team gave her six airtight bags for her hair, indeed one less.

In other words, Yan Chi's bag was definitely obtained from her.

Yan Chi couldn't have guessed her mission and knew that she couldn't handle Bai Jin, so she stole her sealed bag and helped to finish the mission, right?

Gu Qingtong was outrageous by her own guess.

If you want to know the answer, you can only go back to find Yan Chi, after all, she is only short of her and Bai Jin's hair from the success of the mission.

And when she was counting the task seal bags, she also recalled what she promised Deng Dongjun.

Sleeping together in front of the camera... even for a few seconds, it's too embarrassing!

Not only do you have to take the initiative to do it yourself, but also to be seen by all the audience. Thinking of this, Gu Qingtong's toes begin to scratch the ground again.

I made a decision immediately, at least I had to climb the bed after Yanchi fell asleep! At that time, just take a mobile camera and take a picture as evidence and slip away.

Just when Gu Qingtong returned to the room of the two of them full of worries, as soon as he turned the doorknob, he heard a faint voice from inside the room: "Are you back?"

Yan Chi was leaning against the door at this moment, looking at her quietly, the anger on her body had long since disappeared.

"Mr. Yan is waiting for me? Is there something wrong?"

Gu Qingtong wasn't sure if Yan Chi found out what she had just heard in the corner, and she didn't know how to ask her about the mission.

As soon as she opened her mouth, she realized that the reason why Yan Chi stood by this door and did not leave was because she knew that she was behind and would come back soon.

In other words, Yan sooner or later found himself eavesdropping on the corner.

Yan Chi looked at Gu Qingtong's unpredictable face, and knew that she already had the answer in her heart, but she made a mess of it. She didn't mention the task at all, and insisted on Gu Qingtong begging herself.

What's more, before Yanchi deliberately left a hickey on her neck, she was still angry!

Gu Qingtong had almost forgotten all about it, but now she remembers it all at once.

Thinking of this, she hesitated and refused to speak: "If Teacher Yan is all right, go to rest early, it's two o'clock."

Yan Chi looked at Gu Qingtong with a playful smile: "Thank you for your concern, so do you."

She wants to see how long the children can get angry.

Gu Qingtong didn't expect that Yan Chi would really ignore herself and walk directly to the bathroom, her eyes widened and she choked hard, but she couldn't show it in the camera.

In a fit of rage, she secretly decided in her heart that when Yan fell asleep, she must tuck her hair more in revenge!

Because the task has basically been recorded now, Gu Qingtong directly turned off the camera in her room. After all, the program crew will not be so perverted that they let everyone sleep with the video on all night.

Gu Qingtong didn't sleep at all. After all, she planned to go to Yanchi at four o'clock. After taking a shower, there was not much time left, so she might as well brush her phone.

She thought of the hot search at night, and took another look on Weibo.

In the middle of the night, the public relations had already left the stage, and the only people who were still talking were passers-by, and only Yan Chi's fans.

Although the mainstream trend has changed, it is clear that some people still have prejudice against Gu Qingtong.

Hype it up...

She didn't say anything, continued to swipe down, and suddenly saw a Weibo that clarified for herself.

"The two are just CPs arranged by the program team, and the picture of Gu Qingtong looking at Yan Chi crying is because Tongmei encountered an accident when she played a doll according to the rules of the game and was beaten I cried only after I cried, and Changhong officials have issued a statement, and there is comparative evidence below.

Hot search is not bought by our family. When Tongmei was hacked, the company's official blog did not dare to go online. She only made a turtle, not to mention spending money. Please stop making rumors and entangle Gu Qingtong. Bundling the hype! "

The accompanying picture is the comparison between the widely circulated photo of the duo and the video of the pink and purple fox doll from Changhong Holiday Park being photographed. The two sides are obviously wearing exactly the same doll clothes.

Gu Qingtong knows that since the live broadcast, she has more fans.

Although it was not enough in the eyes of others, but that night, when she saw the small fans who kept pouring in under her lifeless Weibo to confess to her, she turned over one by one and gave her I liked each one and told them that they had seen it all and didn't sleep for almost the whole night.

For the first time since entering the entertainment industry, Gu Qingtong really felt it.

It turns out that she can be seen and liked by others, just like Yan Chi.

Since then, they have often secretly watched their messages and posts on their Weibo and fans, and gradually there have been many firsts.

For the first time at the event, I heard a fan shouting his name.

For the first time, a small fan specially came to follow her itinerary and took pictures of her back.

For the first time, someone noticed each of the minor supporting roles they played and edited their clips specially.

When the screen was full of denunciations in the afternoon, the voices of Gu Qingtong's fans were so weak that they could not be heard, but even so, they were trying to find evidence to refute passers-by looking at pictures and talking one-sided words.

Although this clarified Weibo only has a dozen likes, it is still full of support from Chaohua fans, and there is no splash at all.

Only late at night in this cooling off topic.

But Gu Qingtong no longer cares what the public thinks, and the people she cares about also trust her, which is enough.

"This picture was taken... I'm so dependent on her!"

Gu Qingtong looked at the secret photo of the two and complained to herself.

She was about to swipe away, but she suddenly remembered something, wait a minute, this photo is so popular that people in the fan group who didn't add their own words also saw it Bar?

Being seen is not the point, the point is what happened just a month ago, that night when I was drunk.

I and Yan Chi participated in the same "Young Actor Training Program" activity, and Yan Chi's station sister caught the person on the filming stage on the spot.

Because her face was seen, of course Gu Qingtong couldn't admit that she was shooting Yanchi, and she recognized it directly when she was regarded as Yanchi's opposite home.

At that time, the discussion about his appearance in the group was still vivid in his mind, Gu Qingtong gasped, and ran to the "teacher Yan what to eat" that had not been opened for a long time, and found that as expected, in the group Almost exploded.

There are still people talking about it at three in the morning.

Gu Qingtong spent more than 20 minutes crawling through their chat records at a glance.

I met my two station sisters, A Lu and Bingtang Sydney, and rushed into the group as soon as I saw the photo to tell everyone about this amazing discovery.

Obviously everyone didn't quite believe it, and felt that the two of them were wrong.

Who knew that "Bingtang Sydney" thought that Gu Qingtong was too outstanding, so he secretly took a photo for his friends to sigh.

I just thought it involved the privacy of amateurs, so I didn't put it in the group.

When she found the photo and posted it in the group, the group friends were surprised to find that this is the same person?

Leewenhoek also turned to the evidence that Gu Qingtong also participated in the event. It was almost a sure thing that the two station sisters met Gu Qingtong that day.

So what was she filming there? 】

It looks like it's been planned for a long time. 】

Alu replied: [Think about it carefully, when we were in the past, it was Teacher Yan's color rehearsal stage. Although there were other people on stage, almost all of them could not be photographed from the side. It's possible that he was really taking pictures of Teacher Yan. 】

Seeing this, Gu Qingtong's heart jumped to her throat. !

But looking further down, I find that everyone does not suspect that she is a fan of Yan Chi, but that she has been tying up the hype for a long time.

After all, their stance is definitely on Yanchi's side, and they have clearly expressed their dissatisfaction with several celebrities who have been tying up with Yanchi and blood, and the group will be so rude , Gu Qingtong was not surprised.

Well...compared to being wronged, it is better to be wronged.

After the official statement and Yanchi's private retweet, the attitude of these group friends has obviously softened.

After all, Yanchi had encountered a lot of this kind of thing before, but never once did they take it as seriously as they are now, and they chose to follow Yanchi.

】The group leader's words ended everyone's discussion.

At this moment, the station sisters seem to be chatting about tomorrow's coming with Yan Chi's schedule, which is particularly hot.

After all, Yanchi's airborne variety show was too sudden. After a day, everyone also got the news that Lianzong was filming in a well-known homestay area in City A at this time, and the filming lasted for a day and a half. The teacher will finish filming and leave there this afternoon.

It will be too late if you don't go.

Shooting a variety show is not like going to the awards ceremony party, which requires tickets, there is no threshold, and you can take some Reuters photos just by standing guard outside, so the station sisters all expressed their desire to go.

Because Yan Chi never participates in variety shows, every time she goes to an official event or the red carpet of a film festival, the station sisters rarely have such an opportunity, and this time the number of responses is particularly large.

Even the two A Lu and Bingtang Sydney who had met Gu Qingtong before were coming.

Seeing these familiar nicknames, Gu Qingtong's cardiac arrest, it's over, a large group of friends faces the scene!

It seems like she has telepathy with Gu Qingtong.

A group friend mentioned her again, but it was her other vest TT.

[@TT, I’m tired of saying whether I will go this time. This is Teacher Yan’s first time participating in the entertainment show. Although I can’t shoot any specific content, at least I can watch it first. Come to Mr. Yan's prosperous beauty! 】

Have you seen Teacher Yan outside the movie? !

For fans like them who have been widowed for nearly a month, it's really good!

As soon as I saw the mention of TT, I immediately jumped out and joked:

Familiar high-quality pictures in the VIP area, but TT, you are too cunning to not talk to us. 】

Other station sisters also echoed: [Sister TT! No excuses this time! 】

Gu Qingtong looked at these evocative calls, her whole body almost choked up, she still wants to shoot a variety show, what are you doing!

"Last time, I suddenly got the media ticket, I thought it would be a pity, I made up my mind to pass it, this time is really not good, the news is so urgent, I am still abroad, you look at my underworld work and rest."

She jumped out and lied without changing her face and heart, and now the second message online in the early morning just serves as her self-evidence.

Everyone laughed and stopped joking about her.

When Gu Qingtong thought it was all right, she saw that the group of friends began to say in the next second:

At that time, you can see the first-hand pictures and texts, and you will be here by yourself. 】

"It's not necessary! I'm a little busy, so I'll watch the variety show by myself another day."

Gu Qingtong hurriedly shied away, and quickly said goodbye to everyone, lest something else happen again.

Looking at the time, it was almost four o'clock now. Gu Qingtong put away her mobile phone and brought the mobile camera that the program team sent to each guest, ready to do the task.

Remembering that everyone in the group said that it depends on their performance on variety shows, Gu Qingtong directly wanted to survive, and began to recite the full text and silently write a disclaimer for pushing the pot in front of the camera:

"It's four o'clock in the morning, I'm going to get Mr. Yan's hair, because I made a deal with Deng Dongjun before, Mr. Yan, I'm sorry, I'm coming to sleep on your bed secretly , everything is for our breakfast! Blame the show team for being too cunning!

In short, I hope not to wake up Teacher Yan! "

It's written all over my face that I am not willing, don't misunderstand me, and I am forced to do business.

After doing all this, Gu Qingtong finally crept out of the room.

Yan Chi's room was next to her, she walked to the door in a few steps, and found that there was a crack in the door, which saved her the effort of opening the door carefully.

Gu Qingtong didn't think much about it, she glanced inside first, and after confirming that it was quiet inside, she slowly opened the door and dodged in.

Because she knew she was going to come out soon, she also did not close the door, leaving a gap.

The curtain of the bed was not drawn, and the natural and quiet moonlight outside poured in from the glass wall, which also allowed Gu Qingtong to see Yanchi's sleeping face clearly.

It is not as quiet and quiet as imagined.

She is late...is she okay?

It was a little strange, Gu Qingtong stood there and waited quietly for a while, confirming that she should only have a bad dream before continuing her next actions.

Gu Qingtong was holding a small camera and could scan the scene of Yan Chi sleeping, so she quickly retracted the camera, not wanting to be seen by others as Yan Chi was dreaming.

Following Yan for so long, Gu Qingtong also knows that she is a person who pays great attention to her privacy and separates life and work in the entertainment industry, whether it is interviews or interactions with people , both maintain a close distance, and will not show their private character life in front of the camera at all.

She thought about it for a while, but she should hurry up and lay down on the bed when Yan Chi went to bed, after all, maybe when she went to cut her hair, Yan Chi woke up.

Gu Qingtong held the camera, which was somewhat inconvenient.

First, put one knee on her bed, and gently prop up one side of the bed with her hands. With this force, her whole body quietly leaned forward.

She was already thin, and with extra attention, she didn't make any movement at all.

After she got up, she knelt on the edge of the bed, making sure that Yan Chi didn't wake up, so she held her breath and lay down slowly.

In order to be able to see Yan Chi's movements at all times, her face was slowly lying down towards Yan Chi's side.

Gu Qingtong raised the camera, looked at the camera, and took a clear picture of her lying down.

After confirming that the shooting was done, I breathed a sigh of relief, and then I turned my eyes.

I didn't expect it, but met a pair of eyes that suddenly opened.

A pair of extremely...unfamiliar eyes.

"You... didn't go?"

Her voice was wet, wet, sticky and dense, completely losing her usual coolness and aloofness.

After seeing that the person in front of him was Gu Qingtong, the emotion in Yan Chi's eyes did not disappear, instead, it was like sparks lit firewood, spreading a large area of ​​red.

Gu Qingtong was completely dumbfounded, and before she could react, she saw Yan Chi had already got up from the quilt, and her body was only wearing a single coat. It was pressed on Gu Qingtong's hand holding the camera.

Her skin was astonishingly hot, and her whole body was hot, and she was completely different from the previous cold body.

The sound of "bang" is the sound of the camera falling to the ground.

This sound seemed to wake up Yan Chi suddenly, and the emotion in her eyes faded like a tide.

Only the red tide on her face and the hotness of her skin reminded Gu Qingtong that this was not a dream of her own.

Dream…?

What dream did Yanchi have?

"Sorry." When Yan Chi said these words, he seemed to be struggling with his teeth.

The whole figure seems to be split, one side is the ghost-like body pulled out of the water, and the other side is trying to restrain his sober consciousness.

Gu Qingtong looked at her worriedly, then turned her head to look at the ground to the side, and said in a weak voice, "Teacher Yan...photo, camera."

Yan Chi also knew that she couldn't be seen by others, so she leaned over slightly and touched Gu Qingtong's upper body. Get up, press the power button, and then throw it back to the ground in relief.

"I'm going to take a cold shower."

"You are not in good health, you will have problems with cold water." Gu Qingtong's heart was filled with worry, she had long forgotten the paranoia of Yan Chi towards herself just now, and her eyes were chasing Yan Chi. Chi's face, "Has this happened before?"

Facing Gu Qingtong's approach, Yan Chi stepped back, struggling with pain:

"Tonomi, don't come here, I'm... very bad now, I don't know what I will do."

There is no way, before dawn, she must wait for the red tide to dissipate between the back and forth between dreams and reality.

This is not the first time it has happened, but it is the first time it has happened in front of Gu Qingtong.

This... also contains all her secrets.

Seeing Yan Chi's reaction, Gu Qingtong knew there was no other way.

Thinking for a moment, she stretched out her hand, slowly grasped Yanchi's weakly hanging fingers, brushed them up one by one, softly reassuring, little by little The woman in front of you:

"On the first day I saw you, I said that my hands were warm and could keep you warm, but now, I can actually cool down."

The little finger struggled and trembled, but finally could not hold back, Yan Chi frowned and closed his eyes, the backhand seemed to have done countless times, and the conditioned reflex also grabbed Gu Qingtong's fingers, ten fingers entangled together.

Reality and dream overlap for the first time.

…

Chu Yu sneaked into Gu Qingtong and Yan Chi's house at three o'clock, and saw that the two had fallen asleep as she expected.

She hurriedly went to the kitchen, hoping that with her three-legged cat's cooking skills, she could finish this **** dish, soup, and staple before seven o'clock.

It was four o'clock, and Chu Yu seemed to be unable to hold on anymore.

But at this moment, a voice floated into her ears. She had never heard such a delicate cry, soft and charming: "I can't, I can't."

Chu Yu was so frightened that her breathing stopped, and the whole person woke up immediately.

What sound? !

Before she could think about it, the next sentence: "Don't Han! Again, again. Woohoo..."

The voice behind it became more and more unclear, as if it was vague.

Who is that...?

Chu Yu didn't expect that she would encounter two big melons in a row today, Yan Chi and Bai Jin, what happened to Gu Qingtong, who seemed to be dumb and didn't understand anything? !

Although what she said to Gu Qingtong was that she should not ask questions, but if she could control her interest in gossip, she would not be a corner of the wall before.

So, she put the ingredients on the stand again, without taking off the apron, and hurriedly walked to the living room step by step.

It was only then that the sound came from one of the rooms, the door was closed, no wonder it was so clear…

"Tongtong, grab me if you can't help it, it's alright."

Yan Chi's voice dripped from the crack of the door, mixed with Gu Qingtong's broken and incomplete sobbing.

She never thought that the owner of the two melons is the same!

Don't talk about watching the fun, she didn't even dare to cook, she rushed into the kitchen to put everything back in place, and quickly evacuated with half-cooked ingredients.

If Yan Chi knew that she had been here at night, she could go directly to the ground.
