Chapter 11: Almost Swollen From Kissing

After a series of clean and neat actions, even the assistant director’s eyes couldn’t help but light up. He had people take a few shots in a row.

The leather jacket was skin-hugging, to begin with, and coupled with the fact that the filming location was relatively warm, Yun Xi was covered in sweat after a few actions. Under the contrast of the black leather, she looked even more beautiful. It couldn’t help but make people associate her with a goddess of war who had just left the battlefield.

Taking advantage of this momentum, the filming took only a few minutes to be successfully completed. It was even easier than Yun Xi had imagined.

Before leaving, the assistant director did not forget to pull Yun Xi to chat with her.

“Your name Is Yun Xi, right? Your performance is not bad, and you’re smart too. If you continue to maintain this state, the director will definitely like you. Work hard.”

“Thank you, assistant director. I will do my best.”

To be honest, Yun Xi did not care whether the director liked her performance or not. She only came to take on this film for the sake of money, and there would not be any interactions after that.

However, out of courtesy, she still had to make some simple remarks.

Today was the first day of shooting. Although Yun Xi did not need to attend the opening ceremony, she could not escape the dinner party that night. After all, they were all from the same production team, and they would have to spend a lot of time together in the future, the director still wanted everyone to get used to each other.

After taking a shower and putting on some light makeup, Yun Xi went to the dinner venue and waited early. She was playing only a small supporting role, so she naturally could not sit in the main seat. She just needed to get through it obediently.

The banquet was filled with people toasting to each other but Yun Xi did not listen at all. She stared at the champagne in front of her in a daze.

With the Best Actor present, the crew used things of the best quality, and this champagne was no exception. If it were in the past, Yun Xi would definitely have had a good taste of it.

But now, she really wasn’t in the mood.

The moment she saw the wine, Yun Xi couldn’t help but think of what had happened that night. She thought of that gentle kiss and Qi Chen’s last words.

“I’m sorry, I’m drunk.”

In the end, was she thinking too much?

The thoughts in her mind were as messy as hemp rope, but Yun Xi didn’t know how to deal with it. She could only lower her head and eat the food in her bowl, not even knowing that the person next to her had arrived.

“What are you thinking about with your head down?”

It wasn’t until the other party placed his hand on her shoulder and a familiar wood fragrance entered her nose that Yun Xi woke up.

“Teacher Gu?! Why are you here?”

“Why? After all, you’re someone who has a scene with me. Can’t I just have a few words with you? Come, raise your wine glass, treat it as a toast to me.”

Gu Linyan was wearing a black suit today, with a printed shirt underneath. Perhaps because it was hot, he had even unbuttoned two of the top buttons, revealing his exquisite collarbone, which made people want to continue peeping at him.

However, Yun Xi did not dare to do so. She only took one look before she shifted her gaze away. She picked up her wine glass in a fluster and clinked it with Gu Linyan’s. Without waiting for him to speak, she downed the wine in her glass in one gulp.

Gu Linyan did not expect her to drink so much. He was stunned for a moment before he smiled

“Why are you drinking so fast? It’s not like I’d criticise you. But seeing how nervous you are, it should be your first time taking on a scene of this scale, right? It was the same when you were auditioning for the scene before. I felt that you are not very good at it.”

Yun Xi naturally knew that he was talking about the kissing scene from that day, but she did not know how to answer him, so she could only lower her head and pretend to be an ostrich.

Fortunately, Gu Linyan did not intend to pursue the matter and continued to speak on his own, “But you don’t know that the director and I had auditioned for a lot of people before we chose you that day. After that, we tried out a few more, and your lips were almost swollen from the kissing.”

Having said that, Gu Linyan even deliberately stretched out his hand and pointed at his own lips, as if he was hinting at something.

Yun Xi looked at his nonchalant look and suddenly felt much more relaxed. Compared to the best actor Gu Linyan, her role seemed to be much simpler..
