Yun Liuli bit her lip, making a fearless expression. “Whatever you say is interesting, I’ll find it interesting!”
Yun Liuli was used to seeing Gu Qingcheng reject her. Now that Gu Qingcheng was so ambiguously flirting with her, Yun Liuli was unable to resist.
Gu Qingcheng was tickled by her reaction. He raised a hand and stroked her head. “You still have time, so wait until I’m discharged… I’ll wait for you to conquer me!”
“At the Cloud Top Condominium?” Yun Liuli’s heartbeat started quickening.
“If you’re prepared to do it at the hospital, I can oblige with this minor injury!” Gu Qingcheng lowered his voice. Despite trying his best to restrain himself, he still couldn’t help squeezing Yun Liuli’s petite hand.
Actually, Gu Qingcheng was perhaps more anxious than Yun Liuli!
Although, usually, it was Yun Liuli who acted more desperately.
Yun Liuli and Gu Qingcheng were very close to each other, and their breathing was messed up. This was especially so since they were sitting so close to each other… and discussing that sort of thing.
“Then…” Yun Liuli’s throat vibrated. “Let’s do it at the Cloud Top Condominium!”
Yun Liuli was very impatient as well, but she couldn’t help but be concerned about Gu Qingcheng’s injuries.
Although she was anxious… Gu Qingcheng was like a piece of meat next to Yun Liuli’s mouth—she could eat it anytime she wished, and it didn’t have to be now…
Moreover, Yun Liuli indeed didn’t have the time to learn properly over this period of time. She had to take out some time to learn properly.
Within several minutes, Little Meng came back with a notebook and pen. Yun Liuli looked at the script but didn’t have the desire to write up the brief biography of the character.
Her mind was filled with Gu Qingcheng’s flirty words from earlier…
Yun Liuli was eager to try it now, to learn from those videos that Bai Xiaonian sent to her email!
Yun Liuli was unable to quiet her heart. She set the blank notebook aside and started studying the script again.
She only gradually calmed down after taking several long and deep breaths. She started sorting out the script’s storyline, then conceptualizing the endeavors this youngest daughter of the Bai family, Bai Wanqin, had growing up…
Yun Liuli picked up the pen and wrote down the key points on the notebook.
Bai Wanqin was the youngest child in the large Bai household. Even though the Bai family usually didn’t believe in indulging or spoiling their kids, because Bai Wanqin was the youngest and furthermore a girl, she wasn’t disciplined as strictly as the boys. The elders in the family tended to indulge her. Hence, Bai Wanqin was the child best at wheedling in the family.
The Bai family was well-versed in martial arts. Be it boy or girl, a member of the Bai family had to practice martial arts from a young age. For the boys, it was training for them to fight in wars and protect their country in the future, and for the girls, it served to strengthen and condition their bodies.
The eldest daughter of the family, Bai Wanyan, was favored by Old Master Bai, Duke Zhenguo. She was personally taught by the old man since she was young, so she was extremely well-versed in martial arts and military strategy.
According to the Bai family precepts, starting at the age of ten, boys followed them onto the battlefield. It wasn’t to fight their enemies in war, but for them to experience what a battlefield was like!
Hence, at age ten, Bai Wanyan had secretly disguised herself as a boy and followed her grandfather and uncles onto the battlefield. After her disguise was exposed, Duke Zhenguo kept her by his side!
Later, when Duke Zhenguo went out to battle again, he unexpectedly allowed Bai Wanyan to follow him into battle.
Much later, when Bai Wanyan turned sixteen, once when she followed Duke Zhenguo into battle, she got injured when the enemy troops launched a surprise attack. Bai Wanyan’s fiance died in that battle while trying to protect her!
Since then, Bai Wanyan had stayed at home and stopped going onto the battlefields, resolving never to marry again. At home, she often deduced military strategies with those younger brothers of hers who had already been to a battlefield, and she would win every time.
Therefore, Bai Wanqin regarded Bai Wanyan as her idol.
Then, later, the barbarians invaded their territory. Duke Zhenguo, who had the reputation of “God of War” in the state of Shu, led 17 sons of the Bai family to war. Alas, this time, due to food being inadequate, and because there were hidden traitors, Duke Zhenguo suffered a great defeat. All 17 of the Bai family’s sons died, and only Duke Zhenguo was rescued by his nephew… the father of Bai Wanqin, the character Yun Liuli would be playing.
Then, it was the first scene in the script…
The white-haired, thin, and frail old man wore mourning clothing, and whilst the skies were still dark, he held onto 17 coffins as paper notes flew about in the skies. With heavy footsteps, he entered the city, trying his best to straighten his back so as to preserve his dignified bearing.
After sorting out the storyline that wasn’t mentioned in the script, Yun Liuli’s heart was overwhelmed with strong emotions.
She picked up the pen and notebook, lowered her head, and began writing…
Youngest in the family, most doted upon, hence least able to endure things. Yun Liuli started writing up Bai Wanqin’s childhood according to this background.
Gu Qingcheng looked at Yun Liuli’s serious manner, then lowered his head and looked at his phone, browsing according to Jacob Bellucci’s web browsing habits in the past, looking at websites relevant to photography.
Gu Qingcheng was engrossed surfing through some websites that weren’t able to be viewed overseas.
The two of them did their own things until Sheng Kang brought over lunch at noon.
The meticulous Sheng Kang was afraid that Jacob Bellucci would be bored staying at the hospital, so he brought him some books related to photography.
Seeing that the photography books were for beginners, he questioned Sheng Kang…
Sheng Kang was speechless.
He had flattered Jacob Bellucci in the wrong way…
“I was afraid you’d be bored, so I went to pick out a few books. I don’t know much about photography, so what I chose might not be to your liking!” Sheng Kang said.
“Sheng Kang… don’t you know that there’s this thing called a computer in the world?” Yun Liuli, who was immersed in writing, looked up at Sheng Kang. “If you’re unable to choose books well, you can bring him his computer!”
Jacob Bellucci nodded in agreement to what Yun Liuli said, a rare reaction from him.
Sheng Kang was speechless.
Was he an extra?
Should he leave now and leave the space and time for these two people to inflict harm on each other?
Sheng Kang had wanted to leave, but he then recalled that if he hadn’t appeared in time last night, Jacob Bellucci’s wound might not simply have ruptured at the surface. The aggrieved Sheng Kang finally decided to bear with the humiliation and thus sat down.
Little Meng obediently went out to buy Yun Liuli tidbits and coffee, and she also acted as the messenger between Yun Liuli and Fang Yan.
When he heard that Yun Liuli would be attending an indoor variety show with the crew of “The General”, Sheng Kang said attentively, “You can hand Mr. Jacob Bellucci to me tomorrow, don’t worry, Miss Liuli! Since you’ll be recording a variety show tomorrow, why don’t you go back and rest tonight? You need to have a good night’s rest, and you also need to take a shower or something!”
“There’s a bathroom here!” Yun Liuli turned around and said to Little Meng, “Go to the Cloud Top…”
Mid-sentence, though, Yun Liuli recalled that Little Meng wouldn’t be able to enter the Cloud Top Condominium. Hence, she said instead, “Help me go to my school hostel and bring me a clean sweater and denim jeans.”
