“Scene five, take one, Action!”

The filming began. Yun Xi followed the script and stepped barefoot on the floor, walking towards Gu Linyan step by step.

His pupils were a beautiful amber color. Yun Xi had noticed this the last time. Taking advantage of the warm yellow chandelier above his head, Gu Linyan’s gaze became even more alluring.

Unconsciously, Yun Xi swallowed her saliva.

It was a very small movement that the camera could barely capture, but Gu Linyan saw it and his eyes were filled with a hint of joy.

The surroundings were very quiet and no one spoke, but Yun Xi was able to automatically come up with Gu Linyan’s thoughts.

“Little lass, didn’t you say that you’re not nervous? Why are you so scared before we even started?”

As she thought about it, she unconsciously reached out and gripped the hem of her skirt tightly.

One step, two steps, one step… Yun Xi finally walked to Gu Linyan’s side. She raised her hand and placed it on his shoulder, saying the lines that she had long prepared, “Tonight, can you come and accompany me?”

Her voice was a little shaky, adding a little innocence to this invitation.

If it were another scene, they might really be able to accompany each other to read books for the whole night, only have heart-to-heart talks and nothing else.

But that was not the case in the drama. They were all adults who tend to end up sleeping with each other.

“Haven’t I always been by your side, my dear?”

Gu Linyan curled his lips into a smile and lifted his hand to carry Yun Xi onto his lap, wrapping his arms around her waist.

Yun Xi was very thin, and her waist could be held with just one hand. She was like the withered grass by the roadside, easily broken by others and with an indescribable sense of fragile beauty.

Faced with Gu Linyan’s pressure step by step, Yun Xi was very nervous and she subconsciously raised her hand a little higher, just in time to block the camera.

“Cut! Adjust the positions of the two of you. The camera can’t capture a human face, especially Yun Xi. Don’t be so nervous and relax more. Remember that you were the one who took the initiative in the plot, understand?”

Director Zhao looked at the screen and frowned slightly, raising his hand to interrupt this segment.

“I’m sorry, Director. It’s my problem.”

Hearing the director’s words, Yun Xi immediately removed her hand from Gu Linyan’s shoulder and stood awkwardly to the side.

“It’s okay. It’s your first time filming, it’s normal for problems to appear. Let’s do it again, director.”

Seeing her guilty look, Gu Linyan smiled helplessly and took the initiative to help her bring this matter over.

“Don’t be too nervous. Just treat it as if we are auditioning. Weren’t you in a very good state that day?” Before the filming started, Gu Linyan even went up to Yun Xi and comforted her a few times.

Yun Xi nodded and took a few deep breaths before she continued to walk down.

Some things were indeed easy to talk about but not so easy to put into actual practice.

Yun Xi thought that her biggest problem after joining the group would be taking off her clothes, but reality told her that she could not even take off a single piece of clothing.

“Cut! The position is not right, do it again!”

“Cut! Yun Xi, your hair is too messy, don’t move so much. You are getting along with the person you like, you are not forcing them.”

“Cut! What are the workers doing? Didn’t you guys notice that the lights have changed? Hurry up and switch it back!”

…

All sorts of reasons and questions were repeated over and over again, but the final shot was not completed.

Yun Xi was extremely frustrated that such a huge problem had appeared during the first shoot.

She had initially wanted to take the opportunity to go to Gu Linyan’s place to learn some experience during the break, but before she could speak, the director called her over..
