Is she really that unhappy about filming a kissing scene with me?
The director noticed Su Ping's hesitation and knew that as an ordinary person, it wouldn't be easy to film a kissing scene in front of the camera. So he came up with a compromise and said...
"How about this, we won't film any more kissing scenes, you two can just have an ice cream cone together."
This ice cream cone comes in several flavors, and it looks really delicious. But I'm worried about having to go to the hospital to see Aunt Mei later, so it wouldn't be good to linger too long.
Moreover, the director is waiting for his response, and it wouldn't be good to keep so many people waiting for him in this sweltering heat.
Finally, she nodded and said, "Okay."
After she agreed, the director smiled and nodded: "Okay, there are still five or six minutes before filming, so you can get ready."
When Ren Su heard that Su Ping and Tu Hengchuan were to have a kissing scene added, she immediately felt a little resentful.
Why isn't this good thing hers?
However, considering that there are quite a few fans on Weibo who ship Tu Hengchuan and Su Ping as a couple, she reluctantly accepted it.
Although Tu Hengchuan is one of the male leads, kissing scenes are commonplace for actors, especially now that the director has lowered his expectations and only asked them to eat ice cream.
After thinking about it this way, she calmed down. Just as she was about to go over to Su Ping to signal her to relax and not overthink it, she saw Tu Hengchuan walk over there a step faster than her.
Su Ping looked at Tu Hengchuan, who had stopped in front of her, and raised her head in confusion.
The two women were dressed in white dresses, and their high ponytails from back then had been braided into pigtails hanging down to one side, and their faces had lost some of their youthful innocence.
The other person was dressed in simple jeans and a white T-shirt, looking just like the boy he used to be, only with a hint of maturity and composure in his eyes.
The two of them didn't need to say anything; they just stood face to face, and they looked strangely pleasing to the eye.
"Come with me for a moment."
Tu Hengchuan grabbed Su Ping's wrist and walked towards a spot not far away.
Ren Su watched the two figures from behind and subconsciously wanted to follow them, but at that moment the makeup artist noticed that her makeup was a bit smudged and asked her to go over and touch it up.
Helpless, she could only reluctantly look away.
Su Ping was pulled along by Tu Hengchuan until they finally stopped under a tree.
It was the hottest time of the afternoon, and the cicadas in the trees were chirping incessantly, as if they were protesting their discontent.
Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on their faces.
Su Ping didn't know what Tu Hengchuan was planning, so she simply raised her hand slightly to shield her face from the sunlight and looked up at him in confusion.
"you……"
Tu Hengchuan was about to speak when his gaze involuntarily fell on her lips.
The weather was a bit hot, but her lips still looked moist and tender, like a sweet-smelling peach, making one want to bend down and taste it.
He finally looked away with some difficulty, swallowing hard to hide his embarrassment.
"Don't be too nervous later. Just relax and leave the rest to me."
Considering it was her first time filming such intimate scenes, Tu Hengchuan spoke up.
Was he worried that I wouldn't film well and would delay his schedule?
Su Ping blinked and nodded in agreement.
It's just ice cream, anyone can eat that.
"Should we rehearse first?"
Tu Hengchuan's voice seemed to drift in the wind, gradually reaching Su Ping's ears.
His voice is very pleasant, like the willow breeze in February.
Su Ping was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "How do we rehearse?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Tu Hengchuan took a step forward and leaned closer. Su Ping subconsciously took a step back, only to find there was no way to retreat, and her back pressed directly against the tree trunk.
Tu Hengchuan held his finger up to Su Ping's eyes and said somewhat awkwardly, "Imagine this finger as an ice cream cone..."
Su Ping looked at his index finger, which was fair, slender, and had distinct knuckles.
How can you imagine that?
The next second, that finger was pressed against his lips.
Su Ping's heart skipped a beat as she watched Tu Hengchuan's face suddenly move closer to hers.
It was moving so fast that she could even hear her heart pounding.
As her fingers gripped the bark of the tree trunk behind her in nervousness, Tu Hengchuan's lips landed on the index finger between them.
The warm breath sprayed onto her face, and Su Ping was dumbfounded.
They were so close that it felt like their lips might touch if they moved even slightly.
From a distance, the two looked very close, and it really did look like they were kissing.
Tu Hengchuan noticed the shock in her eyes and deliberately didn't leave her immediately.
When he sensed that her hands, which were supporting her against the tree trunk, were starting to give way, he stepped back, widening the distance between them.
"That's about it. You just pretend to eat ice cream, and I'll do the improvisation."
Seeing the expressionless face on his face, Su Ping was stunned for a moment, and her face felt a little hot.
So, is this what he meant by rehearsal?
Just as she was wondering what to say to ease the awkwardness, the director's assistant came over to find them.
Upon seeing the two of them, the assistant director quickly waved and said, "Teachers, we're about to start filming."
Tu Hengchuan responded, then turned to Su Ping and said with a smile, "Let's go, I believe you can do it."
Su Ping looked at Tu Hengchuan, who was walking briskly ahead, and wondered why he had suddenly become so happy.
Ren Su watched the two people walk over from one after the other and keenly sensed that something seemed amiss.
Was that a smile on Tu Hengchuan's face?
What did those two talk about that made him so happy?
The subsequent filming went smoothly. The two sisters resolved their differences, participated in school activities together, and even encountered the boy from their past.
Under the trees where cicadas chirped, the two bought ice cream cones from the school store and walked along the path leading to the basketball court in silence.
"Actually, I came to see you on graduation day."
Hearing his words, Su Ping paused for a moment, a smile tugging at the corners of her mouth, and awkwardly began to tear open the ice cream cone packaging.
"Yeah?"
Those two words brought back memories of myself when I deliberately distanced myself from the boy so as not to hurt my best friend.
The breeze seemed to have gotten even hotter, making me feel restless and wanting to eat something cold to cool down.
Noticing her movement, the man beside her slowed down and finally stopped.
My eyes were fixed on the ice cream in her hand, the one whose shell I had just torn open.
Stared at like that, Su Ping casually handed him the ice cream and said, "This is a new flavor, would you like to try it?"
