The next day, the filming officially started. Ye Ningxiao sat in front of the mirror as the makeup artist behind her began working on her face.
"It's really pretty." makeup artist sighed as she looked at the beautiful face reflected in the mirror.
"Thank you." Ye Ningxiao gently smiled, and said thanks.
The makeup artist looked at her face in satisfaction, "Alright, I've finished putting on my makeup."
She nodded and stood up.
Han Aoluo had not finished his makeup when the first act came up. It was a fight between her and Ye Ningxiao.
Her beautiful face was covered with thick makeup, and her mouth was painted with a bright red color. Her hair was tied together, and only a few strands were left hanging down.
"Alright." makeup artist stopped.
Han Aoluo nodded her head modestly, with a haughty look on her face, she prepared to go to the locker room to change.
Seeing that she had left, Ye Ningxiao also picked up the jacket that was draped over the chair and walked out of the dressing room.
As soon as she came out, she attracted a lot of attention. She wore a pure white knee-length skirt and a beige lace jacket. Only a faint makeup was painted on her face, as if her eyes were glistening with autumn water.
Seeing her, the director smiled and walked towards her, patting her on the shoulder, "Ningxiao, do your best in a while."
Ye Ningxiao also laughed and expressed his thanks, indicating that he would work hard.
She sat on a bench at the side and waited for Han Aoluo to change his clothes. Bored, she took out her phone and started browsing through the messages.
After a while, Han Aoluo walked out, wearing a large wave and a camel-coloured overcoat.
The director also stood up from the side. "Alright, alright. We're ready to begin filming. Hurry up and prepare."
Upon hearing this order, the cast and crew went from relaxed to busy. Only the other actors who had no scenes to play remained to the side, watching from the sidelines.
Ye Ningxiao also stood up, walking to the center of the stage, his entire temperament had changed, from his originally soft and weak beauty to his tenacious and beautiful.
Han Aoluo stood in front of her with a smile on his face. He was pretending to be a beautiful woman who had the same personality as her.
"Begin!" The director's voice boomed.
Following the order given, the surrounding cameras turned towards the two of them from all angles.
She looked coldly at the woman in front of her. Her arms were crossed over her chest, and because she was not wearing much, her face turned white in the cold wind.
"Are you leaving or not?!" The gorgeous woman with the thick makeup on the front issued a sharp question.
"You don't have the right to ask me that. You're not one of his men." She replied coldly with no expression on her face. However, there was a hint of indifference in her tone. Even her tone remained the same.
The director, who was watching at the side, smiled in satisfaction. As expected of the leading actress he had chosen himself, he seemed to be the most lively person in the movie.
"Who said I'm not her? I'm her fiancée. Everyone has already decided on this matter." A hint of anger surfaced on Han Aoluo's face, as if he was angered by her words.
Ye Ningxiao frowned, "You should know your own reputation. You should know what he loves and it's not something you can control."
"You …" Han Aoluo suddenly walked over, picked up the vase of flowers and poured it over to her, a pleased smile on his lips.
Ye Ningxiao was unable to dodge in time, and was so caught off guard that he was splashed with water, falling onto his lower body's skirt.
"Ka!" The director frowned, "Han Aoluo, how did you act? Who allowed you to laugh like that?
The lifted lips of Han Aoluo immediately disappeared as she bit her lips.
Ye Ningxiao's entire body shivered from the cold, her lips turned white. The weather in Rui City was cold to begin with, but now that the cold water was poured on her, it made it even colder.
"Ningxiao, go and change your clothes." The director slowed down his tone when he spoke to her, and the difference between the two could be seen.
She nodded and smiled at the director, indicating that she didn't mind. After all, actors were like this, they had to endure hardships.
However, after a while, she changed into a similar set of clothes and walked out.
"Pa — —" As the chair fell to the ground, Ye Ningxiao was once again drenched from head to toe. This time, not only the lower half of his body was splashed with water, but even his hair was drenched from head to toe.
Ye Ningxiao stood there with her eyes closed, some water droplets falling down her long eyelashes onto her white cheeks. She felt a cold Qi invading her body, entering her bones and muscles, it was so cold that she was trembling.
The director looked at Han Aoluo and bellowed: "Han Aoluo! What's wrong with you?! We've tried four times and still haven't been able to beat it? "
After talking for a while, he picked up the water on the table beside him, took a few big gulps, and started cursing again.
"Your acting skills are lacking so don't implicate others. Ye Ningxiao's acting was good and he was dragged down by you, he had been drenched four times in the winter and the other staff members still had to endure the cold to work, but because of you, everyone has stopped moving." He scolded mercilessly.
When Han Aoluo saw how the people around her were looking at her, she trembled. She had originally wanted to continue, but now that plan was interrupted, she bit her lips.
The director took a deep breath and said with a bad temper, "Again. If you still can't win, no matter who's behind you, get the hell out of my sight."
"Yes, director." Han Aoluo was upset.
The performance this time was finally over, but Ye Ningxiao had already splashed cold water on the stage for the fourth time in a row, causing him to emit a cold air.
She was sitting on a bench with her coat on, her wet hair dripping, and the director had told her that this would be the show for the morning, and that he would do the rest later, so she could go back first.
"Ningxiao, let's go." Ai Da took the things and prepared to bring her back to the hotel.
Ye Ningxiao nodded and followed him. When she walked out the door, she was shocked by the cold wind.
Ai Da looked at her worriedly, "Quickly go back and change your clothes, in case you catch a cold."
Listening, she sneezed, feeling that this cold was unavoidable.
Then she went back to the hotel and changed her clothes and rested for a while, but even so she caught a cold.
"Ningxiao, eat some medicine." Ai Da took out the cold medicine and handed over a cup of water, "We still have to film in the afternoon, let's rest for a while."
"Right." Ye Ningxiao gulped the water down, her fair face had a faint blush, the colour of her lips had been smeared with lipstick, but she still looked a little pale.
By the time the filming was scheduled for the afternoon, her cold had already become very severe.
Ai Da looked at her, "Why don't you stop filming the theater in the afternoon? Your cold is a little severe."
Ye Ningxiao shook his head, "I'm fine, let's talk after filming. I can't burden the rest of the crew."
Ai Da originally wanted to advise her again, but no matter what, he couldn't say it out.
Therefore, in the end, Ai Da still let her go.
When she arrived at the set, it was already a bit late. She hastily went to get her makeup ready and then went to take some pictures.
By the time she finished filming her own scenes, Han Aoluo had also come down.
She saw Ye Ningxiao sitting on the chair with a pale face, looking pleased. She stepped forward and said "concernedly", "What a delicate body, to let a movie end like this."
"This will also drag down the filming crew. Tsk, tsk. Sick." acrimony
Ye Ningxiao just frowned, he did not speak to her. Could it be that if a dog bit her, she would bite back at that dog?
Ai Da was furious. She was sick, just who caused this trouble? Just as she wanted to retort back, she saw Ye Ningxiao's look to stop her. Only then did she calm down.
"Ningxiao, come over here and continue with the next scene." The director waved at her from a distance, his voice loud.
"I'll head over first." She glanced at Ai Da, signalling him not to argue with her.
"You …" Han Aoluo watched helplessly as she left, as a stifling fire rose in his heart.
Why did the director like her more? She obviously had a higher status and better acting. Her vicious eyes stared at the slim figure.
In order to not delay the production team's progress, Ye Ningxiao had been desperately filming the entire scene. Furthermore, the quality had to be guaranteed, and his body was feeling unbearable, which was more and more serious now.
"It's fine, I'm just here to take a look." A tall man in a well-cut black suit with handsome features said to the crew in a low voice.
Ye Ningxiao was startled when he saw him. Did she lose consciousness?
"Ningxiao?" Fang Anwang walked over to her side, seeing her pale face, he looked at him in a daze, and worriedly touched her forehead.
He frowned and sat down beside her, his forehead burning.
"What's going on?"
"Why are you here?" The two of them spoke at the same time.
"Didn't I already say that I would come see you after I finish my work?" Fang Anwang's expressionless face revealed a hint of gentleness.
"Have you caught a cold?"
Ye Ningxiao nodded.
Hearing this, he took off his suit jacket and draped it over the thin girl's body. He put his arm around her slender shoulders, allowing her to lean against his chest.
"Let's take a break."
Feeling the familiar warm embrace, Ye Ningxiao could not resist the exhaustion and drowsiness as he fell asleep.
Seeing that she had fallen asleep, he used her as a cushion to rest for a long time. After she had fallen asleep, he placed her on a chair, stood up and signaled Ai Da to follow him.
"Say it." The look in Ai Da's eyes just now showed that Ye Ningxiao must have suffered something on the production team.
"President Fang, that Han Aoluo did it several times on purpose today in order to pour cold water on Ningxiao. That's why she caught a cold today at noon."
Ai Da had also seen Han Aoluo's strange expression this morning. Coupled with what she had said this afternoon, it was obvious that she had done it on purpose the past few times. If not for her, Ye Ningxiao would not have caught a cold.
"Han Aoluo?" Fang Anwang thought, he had an impression of this person.
He told Ai Da to give her the information on Han Aoluo, for a person like him, he would definitely not show mercy, and would handle the matter after he was done.
After giving her orders, he returned to Ye Ningxiao's side to guard her.
