Chapter 38

Lu Zixi sat on the sofa for a while with mixed feelings before he realized why Yan Yunzhen just fell directly on the sofa and fell asleep without caring - he was too tired.

She had rushed back from abroad, not even having time to adjust to the time difference before rushing off to deal with work. She even remembered to heat up a cup of milk for him after taking a shower at home. Then, instead of going back to her room to sleep, she insisted on curling up on the sofa and waiting for him to come in first...

This is too...what.

Lu Zixi was a little amused and helpless.

He even began to wonder if the Mr. Lu who boasted of being fearless in high school was just a naive little lamb who Yan Yunzhen wanted to hold in his arms all the time in his eyes.

Lu Zixi turned his head and looked at Yan Yunzhen who was already fast asleep. After hesitating for a while, he gave up the urge to wake him up and go back to sleep. He quietly turned off all the lights, leaving only a dim night light to read the script for the formal filming.

In the end, he couldn't even bear to read the script. He turned off the desk lamp, leaned on the back of the sofa, and silently looked at Yan Yunzhen's profile.

Kind of handsome...

"Is it good?" Yan Yunzhen suddenly opened his eyes, sighed deeply, supported his body helplessly, and slowly sat up from the sofa, "I can't sleep after watching it."

Lu Zixi was stunned. He didn't expect to be caught. He just lay on the back of the sofa, blinking at him.

Yan Yunzhen looked at his bewildered little appearance, as if he was amused, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

He stepped forward, slowly getting closer until their noses were almost touching. Lu Zixi was like a frightened little animal pretending to be dead. He didn't even blink, just staring at him blankly.

Breathing can be heard.

Then, Yan Yunzhen reached out with lightning speed and flicked his forehead.

"Little guy." He chuckled softly.

"Hey!" Lu Zixi suddenly came to his senses and covered his forehead with his hands.

It didn’t hurt, but it felt so silly!

"Look again, I'll summon you to my bed tonight." Yan Yunzhen's voice was deliberately low and hoarse, a little lazy, but revealing a captivating charm, "You can have a good look."

Lu Zixi glared at him.

"I was wrong," Yan Yunzhen had been observing his expression. When he realized something was wrong, he immediately changed his tone and said, "I shouldn't have teased you."

Lu Zixi still stared at him.

What do you mean? I shouldn’t tease him. Does that mean I should really kiss him?

Can anyone who wants to kiss him, Young Master Lu?

At least...you have to confess!

...No! Why does he act like he's so eager to fall in love with Yan Yunzhen?

The person who started the flirting is as steady as a rock!

"Once the opening ceremony is over, we'll officially join the crew." Yan Yunzhen responded to his gaze calmly and said innocently, "You can't always be angry with me. It will affect the filming."

The two men stared at each other for a while, and Lu Zixi was the first to give in.

He knew that no matter whether he used crooked logic or just stared blankly, he would never be able to beat Yan Yunzhen.

Lu Zixi was too lazy to pay attention to him, so Yan Yunzhen just sat on the sofa and looked at him obediently, being very well-behaved.

"I've seen today's stills. They're well shot." After a while, Yan Yunzhen saw that the little guy had calmed down and spoke tentatively, "In the poster, you'll be by my side."

"Well, come to think of it, the young general didn't have that many scenes, did he?" Lu Zixi's anger subsided, and he remembered something else. "At the very beginning of the movie, there's the War of Independence and the injury scene, followed by the audition scene, which introduces the clinic and showcases the owner's eccentric temper. After that, there's the recovery scene in the middle, showing the owner's miraculous healing skills. Finally, there's the climax. After the French Concession is recaptured by the Kuomintang government and renamed the Eighth District, he's instigated by the clinic owner to defect and become an undercover agent planted by the Communist Party into the family of a high-ranking Kuomintang official, and then he's just cannon fodder..."

"It's a sacrifice." Yan Yunzhen corrected his wording, "You will die in my arms. This is a questioning of the museum owner's own abilities and a wavering of the ideals he upholds. Therefore, the role of the young military master is very important, and it is not something that can be played by ordinary people. I am very fortunate that you are the one playing opposite me."

Lu Zixi thought about the plot and couldn't help but imagine the scene of Chang Yi and Yan Yunzhen filming the rival scenes after he was eliminated. He suddenly felt a chill.

Fortunately, Zhou He wasn't the kind of person who was stubborn and unwilling to change his ways. If he insisted on only using the person he had chosen the first time, that scene would be...

"The one who killed me was my brother? The character played by Chang Yi?" Lu Zixi rubbed his goosebumps while recalling the script, "And how I died was..."

"Yes." A hint of gloom flashed in Yan Yunzhen's eyes, "Poisoned at the party."

Lu Zixi first said "Oh", and when he came to his senses, his back was suddenly covered with cold sweat.

A high-ranking official's family, a young military officer, and his brother poisoned someone at a party...

This is simply a true portrayal of herself!

The only difference is that the owner of the museum didn't have time to save Xiao Junye, while Yan Yunzhen saved him from being tricked into taking drugs...

"Don't be afraid," Yan Yunzhen gently combed his hair, "He won't really succeed. I'm here."

This sentence is like a double entendre, which not only explains the difference between the play and real life, but also shows that Yan Yunzhen actually knows that Chang Yi wants to do some small actions behind his back, but the other party has not started to act yet, so he can only wait and see.

"Yeah, I know." Lu Zixi responded, and finally couldn't help but pull his head out from under his hand, "Let go."

He almost blurted out, "Why didn't you have this bad habit back then?" But then he thought, when he was still "Lu Zixi", he was exactly the same height as Yan Yunzhen, and it seemed difficult to perform the head-patting move. But now that he was reborn, Yan Yunzhen could just stretch out his hand and rub his hair.

He didn't really dislike the act of patting his head, and even felt it was somewhat intimate. He was simply afraid of going bald. Thinking that he, Young Master Lu, was only in his early twenties and was being patted like this every day, what would happen in the future?

He really doesn't want to be Lu Xiaogua!

While Yan Yunzhen got up to drink water, Lu Zixi immediately took out his cell phone and started searching.

He typed in the three words "being patted on the head", intending to ask the almighty Baidu how to reject someone's head pat without hurting their feelings. But to his surprise, the Baidu association popped up:

Why does it feel good to have your hair touched?

Before he could withdraw the text he had entered, he heard the footsteps behind him suddenly stop.

Lu Zixi raised his head somewhat stiffly, and looked at Yan Yunzhen behind him, who was drinking water and looking at him with interest.

That smile was meaningful.

...He wants to hit someone!

The makeup photos were soon released through the official blog, and the start of the formal filming was also put on the schedule. When the fans of the book who were still waiting saw the stills of the movie version of "Clinic No. 58", they immediately became excited.

Nirei: I thought casting a male idol as the owner was a joke??? Turns out they were serious? Oh my god, the only words that come to mind are "immortal-like." Why does a mixed-race person look so good in Republican-era style?! As a fan of both the male and female characters, I'm overwhelmed with happiness!

Lianliansewuduan: Officials said that Actor Yan really prepared seriously for a long time and even studied Chinese medicine... I was not a fan of celebrities, but if this movie is good, I will definitely become a fan!

Fish-loving dog: The key is little Jun Ye! When the news that Chang Yi was the character was released, I really wanted to fight with the film company, but luckily they changed the actor... I like Lu Wenqi's design. Although he is usually cute, this time he really has the tough feeling of Jun Ye~

Tang Moxing: Plus one. Especially compared to Chang Yi.

Song Ends, People Sleep: Plus Two, I feel like Chang Yi inexplicably exudes a sense of wanting a beating...

I know the taste of the sea: I am also very impressed by the fact that she is dressed like a white lotus in a flourishing age despite being in a military uniform.

Fish in my place: So, does anyone remember who "Ji Xiao" is? An original character? How did he end up on the poster and in the final photos? Can I just say it's baffling?

suer: Actually, it is in the original novel hhhhhhh Major Ji is Xiao Junye's biological brother, the KMT officer who killed his brother for his political ideals. According to the plot, he should have less than ten lines... It's up to them to make up the final photos, but I think the poster, where he is right next to Lu Xiaoyang, is a bit too much.

Su Muzhe: Amazing. Chang Yi was not old before and he said that Lu Wenqi stole his resources. What is this now, revenge?

Qiusi Ruhui: They are not from the same company, I have no idea how to compete... I guess some people just want to make excuses for their own failures and others' successes.

When Lu Zixi saw these Weibo comments, he had already arrived at the film and television city and was sitting in the dressing room at the official shooting site.

Since the movie focuses on shooting all the plots in one scene and then moving on to the next, it is often not possible to shoot completely in chronological order. For example, all the following scenes are "banquet" related scenes, naturally including the most challenging one, the death of Xiao Junye.

The assistant directors were initially worried that Lu Zixi, as a newcomer, would lose his composure when filming such a difficult scene right away, but Zhou He just glared at him and yelled, "If I say it's okay, it's okay." Everyone swallowed their words of advice.

Forget it. The employees belong to Yuanhong anyway, and the majority of the investment comes from Yuanhong. If there is any delay in work, Yuanhong will be responsible. Why should they worry about it?

Lu Zixi listened silently. Knowing that he was at the center of everyone's discussion, he wisely remained silent, changed his clothes, walked out of the dressing room, and headed towards the set.

He didn't need to make any excuses.

People with strength always speak with strength.

The author has something to say: In the next chapter, I will post a red envelope group to play. Today (the 22nd) I will update during the day. The thanks list has been merged. I love you all.
