Chapter 22: Killing

Qi Yu'an's brain didn't react at all, and he was about to rush over, but Xu Huaishu quickly grabbed him and said, "Boss, calm down, Master Wen is just acting."

Qi Yu'an took a while to react, and finally relaxed his body. He looked at Wen Yan's shaky figure who was about to fall and then barely stood up not far away. Although he was in a helpless situation, his eyes revealed not despair but determination. At this moment, no matter who saw such a pair of eyes, they could feel his determination to move forward and sacrifice his life for the country.

Fortunately, reinforcements arrived at this time. Wen Yan watched exhaustedly as the soldiers fought bravely against the enemy. His body was broken but he still stood firm. It was not until the enemy was defeated that he let himself fall down.

Before he passed out, he vaguely saw a group of people shouting "General" and quickly surrounding him, but he was really too tired and slowly closed his eyes.

The director shouted "Cut" excitedly.

Wen Yan came back to life on the spot, even jumping a few times, and went to the director to look at the camera in tatters.

The director pointed it out to him and praised him, "You are worthy of being a Best Actor. Your movements are crisp and your emotions are on point. Hey, who can resist shedding a few tears for you?"

Wen Yan, well, as long as you are happy.

The director reached out and stabbed the arrow in his chest: "Okay, change into this and take a rest. We still have one scene to go. I'll shoot the others first. Don't worry, take your time."

Wen Yan nodded to indicate that she understood, and turned to walk towards the dressing room.

Qi Yu'an's eyes were always following Wen Yan. He might have noticed it or might not have, and he didn't care at all.

It was the first time that Qi Yu'an watched Wen Yan filming on set. He had visited the set before when they were together, but generally speaking, he would just arrange for someone to send some food and drinks to the crew in Wen Yan's name, and he would handle company affairs in the hotel while waiting for Wen Yan to come back.

Even so, Wen Yan was always happy every time. After filming, he would happily pull me to talk about what he had filmed today and what interesting things happened during the filming process. Even if I just replied with a simple "yeah", Wen Yan never felt that he was perfunctory, but felt sorry for him because he was too tired.

But now, even though I have always been here, Wen Yan can no longer see me in her eyes.

Qi Yu'an watched Wen Yan walk into the dressing room. Not to mention her eyes, she didn't even spare a glance for him. She looked so resentful as if she was a wife who had abandoned her husband. Ugh, she had abandoned her husband.

Xu Huaishu couldn't empathize with the boss. He just knew that the boss was struggling again and the workers were exhausted.

Seeing his boss looking like he had lost his soul, Xu Huaishu knew that he could not rely on him at all. He sighed and went to ask Director Wen Yan how long it would take to shoot the next scene.

After getting the answer about an hour and a half later, Xu Huaishu asked his boss what to do now.

What to do? Qi Yu'an didn't know either. Should he wait here? Wen Yan no longer felt happy, but only annoyed.

Qi Yu'an looked at the door of the dressing room and said, "Let's go."

Qi Yu'an retracted his gaze and turned away. It was not that he did not want to stay, but that no one cared whether he stayed or not. It was meaningless for him to stay. With this time, he could do something that would benefit Wen Yan, such as solving Xiao Zhiyuan's problem.

In fact, after the celebration banquet that day, Xiao Zhiyuan called him several times, but he never answered and later blocked the calls. The words were very clear and there was no need to drag it out any further.

But later, Xiao Zhiyuan contacted Xu Huaishu through his agent, and in the end, he just wanted to meet him. In order for Xiao Zhiyuan to apologize to Wen Yan for what happened that year, he finally agreed.

A few days ago, Xiao Zhiyuan had returned from the crew and had been sending messages to his assistant asking to see him, but he hadn't responded yet. He wanted to talk to Wen Yan first to discuss what method and time would be best to do this.

In the final analysis, it was just an excuse to see Wen Yan, but it was obvious that Wen Yan didn't want to see him, so this excuse was of no use.

Shen Qi was right. It was ridiculous to take credit for something that he should have handled well. What was even more ridiculous was that he hadn't handled it well yet.

After thinking this through, Qi Yu'an left the crew.

He said to Xu Huaishu, "Send a message to Xiao Zhiyuan's agent to bring Xiao Zhiyuan to the company tonight."

"OK."

Hearing the boss's cold tone, Xu Huaishu knew that someone was going to be in trouble.

The two men came in a hurry and left in a hurry. When Wen Yan came out, she saw that there was no one in the corner. She looked around and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Finally, they had left.

To be honest, he didn't mind Qi Yu'an watching him act here, but Qi Yu'an's eyes were always on him, and his presence was too strong, so he felt uncomfortable.

Especially since he really wanted to stay away from this person, he didn't want to fall into the same trap a second time, but this person kept appearing in front of him deliberately, and he couldn't avoid him, which made him feel very annoyed.

Shen Qi saw him looking around and thought he was very disappointed because Qi Yu'an was gone: "He left?"

Wen Yan seemed relieved: "Well, it should be."

"You're not reluctant, are you?"

"Hey, Brother Qi, don't talk nonsense."

"That's good. I was afraid you would want to come back."

Wen Yan looked disdainful, raised her index finger, and swung it left and right: "Who are you looking down on?"

Shen Qi laughed out loud: "Tsk."

The second scene is a simple recollection. At this time, Wen Yan is dressed in white clothes as white as snow, with his hair half tied up and decorated with only a jade hairpin. He looks like a gentle and elegant young man.

This scene mainly consists of Wen Yan's memories before his death. At that time, he had not yet fallen in love with the heroine, so he did not have to consider her in everything. He had a good family background, was loved by his father and brothers, and was full of vigor. He missed the innocent self at that time.

The memory begins with a spirited young man, and ends with the backs of the hero and heroine walking together.

Wen Yan closed her eyes and thought that love was still a little bitter. A tear fell silently, and no one noticed.

The director yelled, “Cut.”

A group of people began to applaud and cheer, celebrating Wen Yan's success. Shen Qi came over with flowers in his arms: "Congratulations, it's a success."

Wen Yan smiled happily, took the flowers, and put her arm around Shen Qi's shoulders, calling out, "Come on, take a picture with Brother Qi as a souvenir."

The crew members were happy to help with this little favor. They took the phone and started taking pictures. Shen Qi also cooperated with a smile and let him play with it.

Many extras also came over and wanted to take photos with him. Wen Yan accepted all of them and smiled happily.

The director packed up his things and said, "That's all for today, we're done."

Knowing that they were going to have a dinner together later, the crew members were very happy. Originally, the director wanted to have a meal with the actors, but Wen Yan said that everyone had worked hard, so he invited all the crew members to get together.

Shen Qi stood aside, looking tenderly at the young man whom he had brought up, feeling very pleased.
