☆, Chapter 83: Shyness is this kind of emotion

Today we filmed the scene where the hero falls in love with the heroine for the first time.

The island's triennial Flower Goddess Festival is here, and the heroine is chosen as the Flower Goddess of this festival. She needs to wear a Flower Goddess skirt, sit on a float and parade through the streets, scattering flower petals to passers-by on both sides to bring blessings to everyone.

The male protagonist was chosen as the general, and he needed to carry the flower goddess on and off the float, accompany the flower goddess during the parade, and protect her.

The Flower Goddess Festival rituals are complex, so the islanders start preparing a week before the festival, rehearsing several times.

In order to avoid making mistakes, the male lead had to practice the princess carry on getting on and off the float many times.

It was also during the frequent intimate contacts that the male protagonist, who was originally ignorant of his feelings, realized his feelings.

It was not until the day of the Flower Goddess Festival that the hero could clearly feel his heartbeat when he saw the beautiful heroine in a floral dress.

…

The male lead's unilateral love is also a major turning point in the emotional drama. Director Lin attaches great importance to today's filming and is very serious about his speech to the group.

"The two main actors will come over here, stand here and talk, and get on the car from here. Everyone, remember not to block the camera, don't look at the camera, don't worry about being filmed, just treat it as a Flower Goddess Festival."

"However you behave during the Flower God Festival rehearsal, behave the same way when filming begins. Don't make stiff or forced expressions."

"Then Congxu, pick up Jasmine and get on the car from this side. I'll see how they move." Director Lin pointed towards Lu Congxu.

The two directors were holding umbrellas. Lu Congxu and Wen Mianyu were standing under the umbrella rehearsing their lines. Upon hearing what was said, they both put down their scripts and walked towards Director Lin.

"Stand here, carry Jasmine onto the car, and then carry her down." Director Lin pointed to the open space next to the float.

The Flower God Festival on the island is real. Wen Yuxian and Duan Xiuhua fell in love because of the Flower God Festival. Wen Mianyu had heard this story many times when she was a child, like a story told by her grandfather.

In order to restore history, Director Lin borrowed the floats that the islanders use every year during the Flower Goddess Festival.

The body of the float is designed to be very high so that everyone can witness the beauty of the goddess of flowers during the parade. The position where the goddess of flowers and her generals stand is the highest point in the entire float, requiring two steps to climb.

The steps were made of painted wood and were a bit slippery after being scrubbed. One of the villagers reminded him, "Be careful, young man, the steps are very steep!"

"Okay." Lu Congxu responded and walked forward to pick up Wen Mianyu horizontally.

Wen Mianyu hung her arms around his neck and put her head on his chest.

As for princess hugs, they often happen during filming and are nothing.

But for some reason, Wen Mianyu rarely felt embarrassed when being hugged by Lu Congxu like this.

Lu Congxu works out all year round to maintain his figure. He is thin but not skinny. His muscles are not well developed, but just the right amount of toned. When he exerts force, the muscles on his arms and chest bulge slightly and stick together. Wen Mianyu can clearly feel the undulating lines.

Raising her eyes slightly, she could see the man's angular jawline. Lu Congxu was really good-looking, with a bone structure that was one in a million. Even from such a deadly angle, he was still handsome and elegant.

Lu Congxu stepped onto the stairs, and Wen Mianyu pressed closer to his arms due to gravity, so close that she could clearly hear the other's heartbeat.

"Okay, go up the stairs slowly and pay attention to the expression on your face. Now that you realize you like her, slow down your pace..." Director Lin instructed from the side.

Wen Mianyu knew in her heart that he was talking about the male and female protagonists, but she unconsciously brought herself and Lu Congxu into the picture.

Grandpa discovered that he liked grandma during the Flower God Festival. When did Lu Congxu realize that he liked her?

Is it also during some unintentional contact, like now?

Wen Mianyu closed her eyes and suddenly remembered a day on the island.

It was a hot afternoon during the summer vacation. The circuit in Wen Mianyu's house was broken, so she went to Lu Congxu's house with half an ice watermelon to use the air conditioning.

When we got there, we found out that it wasn't a problem with the circuit, but that the entire island had a power outage.

The two of them sat in the living room, sharing a watermelon. All the windows were open, but they couldn't block the scorching air flow outside, and soon they were sweating profusely.

Wen Mianyu's clothes were soaked with sweat. She could no longer wear the thin ice gauze jacket, so she took it off, leaving only a tank top underneath, which stuck to her body wetly.

Lu Congxu had a strange look on her face at the time. She put down the watermelon and went upstairs. After a while, she came down and gave her a sun-protective jacket to wear.

Wen Mianyu was so hot that she felt dizzy and didn't think about anything else. She just felt that the other party was too inhumane and refused to wear it no matter what.

"It's so hard to be a woman! I want a man, so I can go shirtless. I don't even want to wear this! You're still asking me to wear a coat, are you trying to make me die of heat?"

Wen Mianyu was tugging at the hem of her clothes and pulling Lu Congxu's hand. "Look at you, your clothes are soaked. Why don't you take them off? A grown man isn't afraid of being seen."

When the weather was hot, the eldest senior brother Gu Ze never wore any clothes on his upper body, so Wen Mianyu didn't think it was okay for a man to be shirtless. Given her relationship with Lu Congxu, there was no need to be so reserved.

But Lu Congxu refused and held her down without saying a word, trying to put clothes on her.

Of course Wen Mianyu refused and resisted desperately. When Lu Congxu asked her to wear it, she threatened to take off Lu Congxu's clothes.

In the end, the two men fought each other and Wen Mianyu was defeated. He sweated even more because of this fight.

Wen Mianyu was so angry that she went home and took a cold shower.

When she went back, she found that Lu Congxu had also changed his clothes, his hair was wet, and he looked like he had just taken a shower.

"You forced me to wear a coat and refused to take off my clothes. Don't you know it's hot? Then why did you take a shower?" Wen Mianyu felt that she had caught the handle and accused him with her hands on her hips.

Lu Congxu looked a little uncomfortable. He avoided her gaze and wiped his dry hair with a towel from time to time.

Wen Mianyu couldn't remember what else she said to the other party because it had been so long. She only remembered that Lu Congxu was at a loss at the time.

Now that I think about it, could it be that Lu Congxu is also shy?

Wen Mianyu discovered that over the past ten years, all her IQ had been spent on her career, and not on her feelings. Otherwise, she would have discovered from the clues that Lu Congxu had feelings for her.

Now, it was her turn to feel embarrassed. It turned out that shyness was this kind of emotion.

…

Wen Mianyu was carried off the float in a daze, and was still a little confused when she was put on the ground.

However, she adjusted her mood quickly, found her state immediately after filming started, and got into the role.

It’s just that the extras weren’t very good, which resulted in the filming not going smoothly.

"The guy in blue, you're blocking the camera! Didn't I tell you to move? Stand next to that girl!"

"The guy in the yellow shirt said not to look at the camera, you have to look at the lead actor!"

"The girl in pink, her expression is so natural, I've said it so many times!"

After more than ten consecutive NGs, Director Lin gradually became irritable.
