Luo Yao, off-camera, quietly covered his mouth with his hand.

Before she knew it, tears were streaming down her face.

A series of low sobs drifted from the scene. They were muffled by the sound of rain, low and lingering, like the sound of wind mixed with the rain.

Many people shed tears. During filming, everyone suppressed their emotions and dared not make a sound; it wasn't until Luo Yao made a gesture that sobs could be heard intermittently.

Whether or not one has experienced love, anyone with a slightly softer heart will empathize with the face of immense grief.

Luo Yao called "cut." But Shang Yechu in the audience seemed not to hear him, still kneeling in the rain, holding Yang Huanyi's head, without moving.

Luo Yao walked up to Shang Yechu, intending to pat her on the shoulder, but was startled by Shang Yechu's expression.

Shang Yechu's face was ashen, even showing a faint bluish-gray tinge. It was unclear whether it was from being doused with cold water or some other reason.

Luo Yao didn't dare to disturb Ye Chu at that moment. Although she didn't have much experience, she had heard that many people who were possessed by nightmares would be scared to death if they were suddenly subjected to external shocks.

The cold rain continued to pour down indiscriminately. Suddenly, Yang Huanyi's eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes in Shang Yechu's arms.

Shang Yechu's body twitched, as if waking from a nightmare.

The cold rain made Yang Huanyi blink repeatedly. Shang Yechu subconsciously reached out a trembling hand to shield Yang Huanyi from the rain pouring down on her face.

Yang Huanyi looked at her, his eyes filled with heartache and pity.

For some reason, looking into those eyes, Shang Yechu suddenly felt extremely wronged.

Shang Yechu pouted—like a child—an expression so rare it startled Luo Yao, who took two or three steps back. It was truly unbelievable; even Mazu had shown mercy today, allowing Luo Yao to see everything.

"You're lying to me."

Shang Yechu suddenly sniffed, tears welling in her eyes, afraid to let them fall. If she cried her eyes out, the close-ups and other shots that were to be reshot would be ruined.

For a moment, she thought Yang Huanyi was really dead. Even though she immediately realized that it was impossible.

How foolish love is! It can turn even the wise into fools. Yang Huanyi's actions were merely a basic requirement of a dedicated actor—when playing a dead person and filming close-ups, one should try to hold or slow down one's breathing as much as possible to avoid the high-definition camera capturing the flaring of the nostrils or the rise and fall of the chest.

Yang Huanyi had acted this way many times before, and so had Shang Yechu. However, for a fleeting moment just now, Shang Yechu was momentarily dazed, forgetting the basics of acting, and genuinely believed that Yang Huanyi was dead!

Yang Huanyi gazed at Shang Yechu in silence for a long time before slowly pulling her into his arms, letting her face rest against his chest, and hugging her tightly as he said, "Yes, I lied to you, I'm sorry."

Shang Ye nestled in her arms, sobbing and holding back tears, not daring to let out a loud cry. She was saving her tears for the next scene, her emotions reserved for the next close-up.

Yang Huanyi gently patted her back, humming something.

Luo Yao stood a few steps away, feeling superfluous. Just as she was wondering what to do, Yang Huanyi nodded at her: "Camel, you can get ready. Xiao Chu is fine."

"Is everything really alright?" Luo Yao was skeptical. But two seconds later, Shang Yechu looked up, her expression now perfectly composed. It seemed she really was alright.

While marveling at the professionalism of the actors, Luo Yao also wanted to ease the tension, so he turned around and said, "Stop, stop, stop! Don't spill it! I'm still in the rain! Water is free!"

In the following scenes, Shang Yechu performed exceptionally well. There were virtually no unfinished scenes.

The filming of this extremely challenging scene went surprisingly smoothly. What Luo Yao had originally planned to take a whole day to film was completed in just half a day.
