CH 126

Chapter 126 - "Have you never been in love before?" (2)

After she was done grumbling to herself, Gu Nian nodded, still looking languid. “I remember the parts before that also. Don’t you worry.”

“Really?” It didn’t look like Assistant Director Lin believed her.

“Mmhmm.”

Gu Nian responded without much expression on her. She looked up and at the center of the filming area. The filming had already started.

Ding Qiao, who wanted to run away, was blocked by Yuntan inside his residence in the cave. The tall and slender figure had on a long robe and had long, white hair cascading down. Unfortunately, he had his back to Gu Nian and she couldn’t see his face nor could she make out what he was saying.

Gu Nian tilted her body and leaned against one of the chair’s armrests. Resting her chin languidly on her palm, she started reciting Yuntan’s lines expressionlessly –

[Whether it was this lifetime or last, I seemed to always meet you after you have met him. I didn’t have a choice in my previous life but this time… … Ding Qiao, I don’t want to let you go.]

Gu Nian tilted toward the other side and switched her chin onto her left hand as she continued to recite Ding Qiao’s lines emotionlessly.

[I know I owe you a lot. I will make it up to you after I have saved him!]

[I’ve already waited for you for centuries. I don’t want to wait anymore. I know how I feel about you. If you really want to make it up to me, then stay.]

[You really want me to make it up to you this way?]

[… …]

[-- -- Alright then. I will repay you!]

After Gu Nian was done reciting the lines, everything came to a halt. Then, a second or two later, the sound of fibric being torn apart came from the middle of the shooting area.

SPPLLITTTT!!

Zong Shiyi had tore open the slanted opening of her long dress and yanked off a piece of fabric, the white fabric wrapped around her chest area was now exposed.

Her eyes reddened, and she said bitterly and sternly:

[I will give you what you want. We will call it even after this!]

After a long while.

The man’s long hair fell from his shoulder and he took a step back.

[Go.]

The next thing that followed should be Ding Qiao turning to leave. She would have made it a few steps before she turned around and looked at the lonely and desperate-looking Yuntan. She would then turn back, give Yuntan an apologetic kiss on his chin, and finally left decisively after a final “I’m sorry”.

Nevertheless, before Zhang Xiying could took her first step to leave, Geng Hongyu’s angry voice coming through the megaphone freeze the air.

“CUT!!!”

“… …”

The scene was not over yet. Obviously, Geng Hongyu stopped the scene before he was displeased again. The workers said nothing but stopped filming as they should.

Sure enough, Geng Hongyu started talking with his anger suppressed in the next second. “Yuntan, your look was off when Ding Qiao tore up her clothes. You looked too cold and too stiff. She is the woman that you love. You needed to show more emotions. Again!”

“… … … …”

“CUUUT!!!”

“Desire! Desire! You need to show your suppressed desire! You have already demonized and you love her. You shouldn’t be so calm when she did that! -- -- Do you get it? Let’s try this again.”

“… … … …”

“Cut!”

“A-gain!”

“… … … …”

“Cut!”

“One last time!!”

“… … … ..”

“CUUUUTT!!!”

Geng Hongyu tossed the megaphone and his face was completely black.

He stared angrily at the back in a black robe with long hair. His chest heaved up and dup violently. Finally, he looked away and waved his hand.

“Fine.”

His word seemed like it was being pushed through gritted teeth.

Gu Nian, on the sideline, “… …”

Oh, wow.

What a painfully familiar scene.

Assistant Director Lin, standing next to Gu Nian, made a loud tsssssk sound and said with a headache, “This Luo Xiu’s acting…”

Gu Nian, “Has a lot of room for improvement.”

Assistant Director Lin was so frustrated that he busted out laughing. “Yes, that’s certainly a lot of room for improvement. The worst student at a school has even more room for improvement.”

Gu Nian, “… …”

Assistant Director Lin didn’t have time to mess around with Gu Nian. He turned and went to smooth things out with the infuriated director.

They stuck their heads together and grumbled for a while. Nobody knew what they were talking about. Others, however, saw Geng Hongyu looked up with a frown, “You think that will work?”

“Might as well give it a try. What’s the worse that can happen?”
