Chapter 237 I Will Never Get Married in This Life
In the private room, Cen Wan and Xu Yousheng huddled together and talked, while Shen Yixiao and Qin Yanxiu sat on either side, sipping tea.
Cen Wan pulled Xu Yousheng aside and asked with concern, "Filming must be tiring. I see you seem to have lost a lot of weight."
Hearing this, Qin Yanxiu also looked over and looked at her carefully, frowning slightly, as if she had lost some weight.
Xu Yousheng herself has a slim figure, but she has the right features and the feel hasn't changed. Plus, he sees her every day on the set, so he really didn't notice it.
He is already thin, and if he loses any more weight, he will fall down with a gust of wind.
Xu Yousheng curled her lips and whispered, "It's not so bad. I live a fulfilling life every day now. Others can't lose weight even if they want to, but I don't have to deliberately lose weight. Isn't it more convenient?"
Cen Wan smiled and said, "That's true, but you're too thin. You should eat more."
"How long will it take for you to finish filming this movie? Do you have to stay on the set every day?"
"We've only filmed a little bit of it. Right now, most of the scenes are indoors, and we'll start shooting exteriors soon."
The two chatted animatedly, their conversation endless. Shen Yixiao had no time to interrupt, so when the food arrived, he could only focus on feeding his wife. He picked up food for her, poured soup, peeled shrimp, and removed fish bones. Cen Wan hardly had to pick up any food herself.
Qin Yanxiu looked at this scene, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly: "If you change your career to waiter, you should be able to easily become a foreman."
Shen Yixiao remained calm in the face of his teasing, even a little proud: "You don't have a wife, what do you know?"
Qin Yanxiu: "I really want everyone to see what Mr. Shen, the wife slave, looks like."
Shen Yixiao remained unmoved: "I'm happy to do so."
After he finished speaking, he looked over and said, "If you're envious, then find a partner for yourself. I heard that the Qin family is looking for a marriage partner for your good brother recently. I guess you'll find one soon too."
Hearing this, Xu Yousheng paused and subconsciously bit her lip.
Qin Yanxiu leaned back in his chair and snorted lightly, not caring at all: "Can he be my master?"
"I will never get married in my life."
The dinner table fell silent at some point. Cen Wan stopped talking and looked at Xu Yousheng with some worry.
Xu Yousheng's grip on the chopsticks tightened little by little, bitterness filling his chest.
Cen Wan shook her hand under the table. She curled the corners of her lips and gave him a forced smile.
It was originally a relationship with no future, but she had stubbornly clung to some unrealistic hopes. Now Qin Yanxiu's words only reminded her once again of the cruel fact that they had no future.
She didn't need to harbor any more illusions, and besides, their relationship was not open to the public.
At least, she won't be the third party.
Just treat it as a dream.
But she is still immersed in the dream and doesn't want to wake up.
But as long as it is a dream, there will always be a day when you wake up.
…
After dinner, Shen Yixiao and Cen Wan went home, while Qin Yanxiu and Xu Yousheng returned to the crew.
In the car, Cen Wan began to tease Shen Yixiao: "Ah Xiao, you just said that Young Master Qin's family wanted to introduce him to a marriage partner. Why do you sound so strange? Why doesn't he want to get married? Has he ever been in a relationship before?"
Shen Yixiao was driving. He glanced at her sideways when he heard this: "Why are you asking this?"
Cen Wan: "Just asking, I'm curious."
Shen Yixiao chuckled, his voice lazy: "Baby, you really are not good at lying."
"Are you asking for your friend?"
Cen Wan froze. "No, I'm just asking."
While the traffic light was red, Shen Yixiao reached out and pinched her cheek, saying unhappily, "You're having a little secret behind your husband's back. Do you think I'm blind while you're flirting with me?"
"What are you talking about, can you speak?"
Shen Yixiao raised his eyebrows slightly: "If there is no, then there is no."
Cen Wan: "You haven't answered my question yet."
"Want to know?" Shen Yixiao stretched out his tone and smiled, "Baby, you have to show some sincerity."
Here we go again.
Cen Wan didn't say anything, but lowered her eyes and began to gather her emotions.
"Baby?" After waiting for a long time without a response, Shen Yixiao turned his head and looked over, "Wife, why aren't you talking?"
Cen Wan looked ahead and snorted coldly, "Last time, you were fooling around at home and almost got caught by Mom. I haven't settled the score with you yet, and you still want sincerity?"
"Can't you have something else on your mind from day to day?"
Speaking of this, Shen Yixiao did feel somewhat guilty; he had gone too far last time. Cen Wan had almost forgotten about it, but bringing it up again was more trouble than good.
"Baby, I was wrong. I promise there won't be a next time."
"I can't say too much about Ah Yan. He has a bad relationship with his family, even a very strained one. Because of his parents, he has always hated marriage and it's difficult for him to truly love someone."
"Your friend is likely to be injured."
Cen Wan fell into deep thought.
…
Ever since Cen Wan's visit to the crew, Zhou Yimo had become more restrained and stopped bothering Xu Yousheng. Even some of the crew's more difficult teachers had warmed up. Xu Yousheng suddenly understood Cen Wan's intentions and took them to heart.
In late summer and early autumn, the crew began filming on location in a small town on the edge of the southern city, which has beautiful scenery with clear water and mountains.
In the early morning, when the sky is just getting light, the distant mountains are covered in dark blue and shrouded in clouds and mist, which is particularly artistic. In the evening, the setting sun melts into gold and the sunset is as beautiful as a painting.
All the exterior scenes were shot during this period. On that day, Xu Yousheng had a scene where he fell into the water, and he happened to be acting opposite Zhou Yimo.
"Ka, Shengsheng, when you fall into the water, don't think about falling into the water. Forget about it and be natural."
Xu Yousheng nodded: "Okay."
After two or three takes, Xu Yousheng's condition and performance were fine, but Zhou Yimo started to have problems.
"Ka, Yimo, your emotions aren't right. Don't show it too much. Just use your eyes."
"Ka, no, come again."
"Ka, this doesn't feel right, please clear it up, staff behind this."
Zhou Yimo either forgot the lyrics, was in the wrong mood, or moved in the wrong position.
The mountains in early autumn were already a bit chilly, and the river water was even colder. After going through this over and over again, Xu Yousheng was already shivering and his face had turned pale.
Yaya covered her with a towel and brought her hot water, looking distressed: "Sister Shengsheng, she did it on purpose."
The director was discussing the scene with Zhou Yimo, who said modestly, "Good director."
"Shengsheng, I'm sorry. I attended an award ceremony yesterday and didn't get enough rest. I'm not in good shape." Zhou Yimo looked at Xu Yousheng apologetically.
Xu Yousheng's fingers turned white as she gripped the thermos cup. She pursed her lips and said, "It's okay."
The director also looked at Xu Yousheng: "Can you still hold on?"
Xu Yousheng nodded.
After being in the circle for so long, everyone could see that Zhou Yimo was doing it on purpose. It was a not-so-difficult scene, and she, who has been an actor for so many years, could still make no less than ten mistakes.
But no one could say anything, the scene had to be filmed as usual. Zhou Yimo claimed that she was not in good condition and apologized again and again. Who could do anything to her?
When Qin Yanxiu arrived, he saw a circle of people gathered around, talking in low voices.
He had no filming during the day, so he left the hotel in the afternoon to shoot the night scene.
"Isn't this clearly bullying?"
"Keep your voice down. If someone hears you, you still want to do it."
"I think she had a miserable day today..."
Qin Yanxiu walked forward, looked at Xu Yousheng and Zhou Yimo who were filming in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "What are you talking about?"
The staff member who secretly complained was caught red-handed and almost cried: "Qin... Teacher Qin..."
Qin Yanxiu's expression tightened slightly, his jaw tightened slightly: "You just said who was bullying who, what's going on?"
The staff member stammered, "We've already shot more than a dozen takes for this scene, and Teacher Zhou still hasn't passed..."
Qin Yanxiu looked over and saw Xu Yousheng standing in the river frozen stiff, his lips pale and his face bloodless.
"You've filmed more than a dozen takes? Xu Yousheng was in the water the whole time?"
"……yes."
Qin Yanxiu strode forward and heard the director's somewhat annoyed voice before he got close.
"Ka, Yimo, you're not emotional enough. If you keep going like this, we won't be able to take good pictures before dark!"
Zhou Yimo said sincerely, "I'm sorry, director. I'm sorry, everyone. I'll definitely be there this time."
"Shengsheng, I'm sorry, please hold on a little longer."
As dusk approached, the river water flowed slowly over her waist, bringing a biting chill that made her teeth chatter.
Another one, Zhou Yimo still has problems.
Before the director could say anything, Qin Yanxiu spoke first: "If you can't shoot it well, don't shoot it."
His tone was cold, and everyone looked over. Qin Yanxiu's beautiful peach blossom eyes lost their usual carelessness and indifference. He walked to the river and said to Xu Yousheng, "Come up first."
Zhou Yimo's expression changed: "Yan Xiu, I..."
"If you're not ready, Teacher Zhou, then go back and take your acting class. There's no need to waste everyone's time here."
His words were merciless, and Zhou Yimo's face turned pale, feeling a little embarrassed.
Xu Yousheng waded ashore, her body trembling with every step. The pebbles on the shore were slippery, and she lost her balance and fell to the side.
Qin Yanxiu quickly supported her and stepped into the water himself.
He looked down at her: "Are you okay?"
Xu Yousheng didn't expect him to stand up for her. A smile appeared in her eyes and she curled her lips: "It's okay."
Her whole body was wet, her hair was hanging on both sides, and water droplets rolled down her hair and clothes.
She moved a little further away: "Stay away from me, don't get your clothes wet."
After hearing this, Qin Yanxiu felt an inexplicable surge of irritation in his heart. Is now the time to be so particular about this?
Just as he was about to speak, Xu Yousheng suddenly covered his stomach and bent over, with cold sweat on his forehead.
Qin Yanxiu looked at her weak appearance and bent down to pick her up horizontally.
