Chapter 62 - “Em, I will… sit down and get myself familiar with it?” (3)

“Alright, let’s go back and get ready.”

“Aye.”

The little assistant followed behind him quickly and couldn't himself but asked, “Then, are you still planning on joining the temple when the shoot is over?”

Luo Xiu stopped all of a sudden, turned around, and asked with a smile that wasn’t a smile. “Why wouldn’t I?”

The little assistant, “… …”

Yup, he was a man alright.

Per Gu Nian’s request, the body double scene was moved to the last one of the night. It was very quiet in the studio when Gu Nian walked out after her makeup. There were only the low humming of the machines and the two directors talking about the angles of the cameras.

Gu Nian, who was forced into this, walked over to the filming area dispirited.

Director Geng looked her up and down, nodded, and asked, “All ready?”

“Why are there still so many people?” Gu Nian grumbled as she looked around.

Geng Hongyu, “Would you like me to clear the area for you?”

“Yeah!” Gu Nian became energetic immediately. She turned to look at him and her eyes were sparkling.

“In your dreams!” Geng Hongyu was so mad that he busted out laughing. “Am I filming some R-rated or X-rated movie? I’ve already sent away everybody who didn’t need to be here. And you want me to clear the area for you?!”

“……”

The girl returned to her dispirited state in less than a second.

Gu Nian dragged her feet as she shuffled toward the middle of the field.

It was still the familiar set at the club, the familiar couch, and the familiar man sitting on it. Even the way his white shirt was unbuttoned, the loosened tie, and the lines of the collarbone that was half revealed and half hidden were exactly how she had them previously.

Gu Nian looked for about three seconds and quickly lowered her head.

Wuwuwuwuwu. How did all this happen?

… … Keep your head clear, Gu Nian! You have promised yourself that your motherly love would never change into anything else!!

Gu Nian brain washed herself many-a-times with her shiny and indomitable motherly love before she slowly shuffled in front of Luo Xiu.

It was still the same pose as requested by the director. One of his arms casually and languidly rested on the back of the couch. He was holding a wine glass with him other hand. There was a half-translucent round ice inside the glass with a bright red flower in the middle.

He had some hair gel inside his normally smooth and short hair. It looked a little messy. He did not have his glasses on and his deep brown eyes were there for all to see. His eyes were full and his eyes that curved naturally gave him an unrestrained refined sleazebag look under the curious lighting.

The scene was quite simple.

Ding Qiao came to the bar looking for her friend. When she frantically walked through the dance floor, she was bumped and inadvertently fell into Yun Tan’s lap.

Yun Tan recognized her, grabbed her wrist, and said that line that Lin XiaoXiao had practiced a million times under Gu Nian’s supervision in his hotel room, “Where are you trying to grope?”

Gu Nian took a deep breath.

That was right. They had already practiced it for a million times inside his hotel room. They were just going to add in the actions this time… was all.

It was all 10 seconds tops… that’s right, that’s right.

Luo Xiu looked up as though he had already gotten into the character. His voice was soft and slow, “Are you nervous, Miss Gu?”

“Of course not,” said Gu Nian stiffly. “Not at all. Not nervos at all”

Luo Xiu, “?”

Gu Nian, “… …”

She and her habit of verbal diarrhea whenever she was nervous!

The direction said through the speaker, “Gu Nian, Luo Xiu, are you ready?”

The count down had started and every shred of intelligence and coherence inside of Gu Nian’s head went on strike.

Luo Xiu took the opportunity to look over at her, smiled and said, “You don’t need to be nervous, Miss Gu. You can try getting used to it first.”

“How do I get used to it?”

“How’s Miss Gu like to get used to it?”

“… …”

Gu Nian lowered her head expressionlessly.

She looked down at the man’s straight and charming lap wrapped in his black pants.

Gu Nian looked up. Her mind blank, she was talking honestly with her instinct, “Em, I will… sit down and get myself familiar with it?”

A few seconds of silence.

Luo Xiu lifted his brows, “ ------?”

Luo Xiu: Where do you want to sit?

Gu Nian: … …

Gu Nian: I want to sit on my precious son’s lap but I am still a good mother. QwQ
