CH 91

46th day: Divorced (2)

The director shouted cut.

After hearing the shout, he reluctantly let go of Liang Yan’s wrist.

Liang Yan was finally free, and breathed fresh air. A few strands stuck to her cheeks, her lips were red and swollen, and her eyes were teary.

She wiped her lips with the back of her hand, then immediately raised it.

“Slap!” The sound echoed in the set.

The sudden slap made the lively studio quiet again.

What… What happened?!

Lu Lincheng was slapped, his cheek turned to one side.

Liang Yan’s palm tingled.

Liang Yan shook her numb hands, looked up at Lu Lincheng directly, and very calmly said, “We’re just filming.”

In the drama, she would slap the second-generation rich heir played by Zhong Ze after the kiss. Since Lu Lincheng badly wanted to be the kiss’s substitute, he might as well take the slap, too.

It was just that Zhong Ze and her agreed to just trick the viewers during rehearsal. Lu Lincheng wasn’t aware of the slap after, and didn’t prepare beforehand, so he shouldn’t blame her for being rude!

In the whole set, Tong Lei was the only one who dared to laugh after seeing the slap mark on his cheek while gripping a cigarette.

……

“Why are you still going through so much trouble when you’re already divorced?” Tong Lei asked while they were in the lounge, drinking coffee.

Lu Lincheng leaned back on the soft, squinted his eyes as he recalled the kiss he shared with Liang Yan, and one that she resisted heavily.

Tong Lei stared intently at the slap mark on Lu Lincheng’s face. “I used to think your ex-wife was really good, quiet, and nice, but I didn’t expect her to be a spitfire.”

Lu Lincheng picked up a pillow from the sofa and threw it to him. “Shut up!”

“Oh. Damn!” Tong Lei hurriedly moved away, dodging the throw pillow. The coffee in his hand almost spilled.

“This isn’t really your first kiss with your ex-wife, right?” Tong Lei put down his coffee and continued with the gossip, “Did you do it like a normal marriage?”

Lu Lincheng stared at the gossipy Tong Lei. He raised an eyebrow. “Do you want to do it?”

Goosebumps appeared on Tong Lei’s skin. “Fuck it, stay away from me.”

Lu Lincheng was satisfied when he saw the goosebumps on Tong Lei’s skin; he shook his body.

After shaking his body, he looked at the arrogant mug of Lu Lincheng and he said with contempt, “I have finally seen a golden master who didn’t let the female star have a kissing scene, but also personally came to the set. Then, acted as a stand-in, and was slapped after.”

Lu Lincheng’s face darkened as he remembered the slap.

He thought of the previous romance film he acted in, it had a kiss scene. After returning from work that night, a woman pulled down his collar and tiptoed to forcefully kiss him in the hotel corridor. It was the most courageous act of her life. After kissing him, she immediately wilted. Fearing he would get angry, she shrunk her neck and said, “I’m sorry,” then she added, “No matter what happens to you, as Lu Lincheng’s woman, I won’t have kissing scene with others.”

He actually thought that he really didn’t care much about her, but now, he found out that he remembered everything clearly.

But what about her? Without conscience, she forgot about him completely.

Lu Lincheng got up, pulled a long face, and aggressively walked toward Liang Yan.

He hummed like he wanted revenge.

His face still had a slap mark.  The face still has lovely slap marks.

The “Benevolence” crew was shrouded with a strong atmosphere of melon-eating today.

Lu Lincheng was aware that his ex-wife was in the same set at Tong Lei, and still insisted on visiting.

He coincidentally saw his ex-wife having a kissing scene with his “low profile” copy when he visited the set.

In the end, he got rid of the other person, and substituted himself for the partner of the kiss scene.

And after the shoot, his ex-wife slapped him.

Then the slapped superstar didn’t even say a word as if what happened was nothing.

This was the series of a melon and a big melon!

In the perspective of Lu Lincheng, there were only two possibilities. Either he was crazy, or…

He was chasing his wife.

Unfortunately, the crew had strict confidentiality agreements, and they couldn’t spread gossip related to the artists and the staff, or they would lose their job.

The senior members in the crew were fine, after all, they were very used to this kind of gossip in the industry. There were more exciting ones, but hiding it was tantamount to torture for the new employees. Such hot gossip needed to be kept in their hearts!

So that night, someone posted a piece of explosive news in an anonymous forum.

“Industry: A three-character actor recently seemed to be chasing his wife.”

“Industry: A three-word movie star recently seems to be chasing his wife.”

This kind of posting that didn’t publish the artists’ names but claimed that they were very famous in the industry was very popular. Even though most of those who mentioned this were fake, the netizens stood up on their principle that they would rather eat thousands than let one go.

An actor with three characters—some passersby already guessed them: Lu Lincheng chasing his wife, Liang Yan.

There were many fans of Liang Yan and Lu Lincheng in the forum, and seeing that a few people implicated them again just because of a post that didn’t even say a name,  they were livid. The two fan groups became inseparable every day.

It was a very rare occasion to agree on something, reach a consensus, shake hands in friendship, and join hands to report the post together.
