Chapter 859 Are you sick?
After Fu Nian'an left, Le Yan forced herself to wipe away her tears and get back to work.
When Lin Xiangyu entered the dressing room, Le Yan had already thoroughly cleaned her face.
Upon seeing Lin Xiangyu, Le Yan simply said, "Let the makeup artist in."
Lin Xiangyu frowned slightly as she looked at Le Yan's reddened eyes: "Yan Yan, did you and Mr. Fu have a fight?"
"It wasn't exactly an argument," Le Yan said calmly. "I just want to break up."
"Huh?" Lin Xiangyu's eyes widened. "Are you crazy? What nonsense are you spouting!"
"Xiangyu, I have a health problem."
Lin Xiangyu was stunned.
A few seconds later, she rushed over and grabbed Le Yan's hand, "Yan Yan, don't scare me, are you sick?"
“It was a congenital defect.” Le Yan looked at Lin Xiangyu, her nose tingling with tears. “That child wasn’t lost accidentally; it was something that was destined to be lost even if she was pregnant.”
Lin Xiangyu's face turned deathly pale. "What exactly happened? Who told you?"
“Fu Nian’an knew all along, but he was afraid that I would feel burdened, so he kept it from me. I only found out the truth when I overheard his conversation with Grandpa Jin.”
Lin Xiangyu burst into tears instantly. "I don't believe it. You're so young, how could this happen? Could it be a misdiagnosis? Yes, maybe it's a misdiagnosis."
“It’s not a misdiagnosis,” Le Yan said. “You know Grandpa Jin’s medical skills.”
Lin Xiangyu choked.
“Well, that’s not absolute. With how advanced medicine is now, infertility isn’t a difficult disease to treat anymore. Yanyan, you can’t separate from Mr. Fu just because of this diagnosis. That’s not fair to Mr. Fu…”
“Xiangyu,” Le Yan interrupted Lin Xiangyu, “If I am unable to have children in this life, then it would be unfair to Fu Nian’an if he were to be with me.”
Lin Xiangyu pouted and cried her heart out.
Le Yan handed her a tissue: "Alright, you don't need to worry about this anymore. Fu Nian'an and I will each take some time to cool off. So, you also need to remember that you are not allowed to contact Mr. Fu without my permission."
Lin Xiangyu sniffed. "What if Mr. Fu contacts me?"
"Then just say I'm fine."
"You want me to lie to Mr. Fu?" Lin Xiangyu frowned and said defiantly, "I wouldn't dare to lie to Mr. Fu."
"Xiangyu, I'm serious."
Lin Xiangyu stared at her, "You're acting like a fool! Since Mr. Fu knew about your health condition from the beginning, it means he could accept it. If he can accept it, why are you..."
“Because I feel sorry for him.” Le Yan interrupted Lin Xiangyu, her expression serious. “Mr. Fu has been helping me ever since we met, but since we got together, I seem to have never given him a moment’s peace. Xiangyu, you don’t know, there are many times when I’m very dissatisfied with myself. When I see Mr. Fu getting upset because of me, I feel so disappointed in myself. I always think that if I could be more outstanding and have a normal family, then I would be more confident in loving Mr. Fu, and my Mr. Fu would be more at ease.”
“But this isn’t your fault…” Lin Xiangyu cried and said, “Now that you’ve broken up with Mr. Fu, won’t he be sad? We can all see how much Mr. Fu likes you, Yangyang, you’re so foolish!”
Le Yan handed a few tissues to Lin Xiangyu.
"Wipe your tears away quickly. Now is not the time to talk about this. The whole crew is waiting for me!"
Lin Xiangyu took the tissue and wiped her tears. "You're amazing. You can still keep working so calmly after breaking up with Mr. Fu..."
Le Yan tapped her on the head, "Does not working mean I should just give up on myself?"
That's not what I meant...
"Go and call the makeup artist in."
Lin Xiangyu nodded and turned to walk out.
...
Half an hour later, Le Yan's makeup was finished.
The timing was perfect.
Just as Le Yan went out to meet the director, Shi Yuwei came looking for her first.
"Le Yan, we might need to adjust tonight's scene."
"Adjustments?" Le Yan frowned. "Filming is about to start, isn't it inappropriate to make last-minute adjustments?"
“I know this is a bit sudden, but I have just discussed it with Director Yu. Director Yu also felt that there were some problems with the previous version I wrote. He read my latest revised plot and felt that the new one was more suitable.”
Since that's the case, Le Yan didn't say anything more.
"Are there many plot adjustments?" Le Yan asked.
"It's alright, we just added some plot details," Shi Yuwei said. "But don't worry, Director Yu and I discussed the lines. You can improvise and just express what Chen Amei experienced in this night scene in a more profound and straightforward way."
Le Yan frowned. "You mean, you want me to do it myself?"
“Yes, to achieve the most realistic effect, I discussed it with Director Yu, and he also thought it was worth a try.” Shi Yuwei looked at Le Yan with an extremely sincere attitude. “Of course, if you feel it’s not suitable, that’s okay. I’ll talk to Director Yu again and see if we can switch back to the original version.”
Le Yan pursed her lips and remained silent for a moment, but finally compromised, "Since the director and Teacher Shi both think it's better after the changes, then I'll listen to you."
"Le Yan, you're so kind!" Shi Yuwei said with a kind smile, holding Le Yan's hand. "With your dedication and Director Yu's ability, I feel this movie will definitely win you an award!"
Le Yan smiled and said, "Teacher Shi is too kind. I still need to hone my skills."
"My judgment is never wrong, don't worry!" Shi Yuwei said, waving to Le Yan as she walked out. "Then I'll go talk to the director, and you can come to the set as soon as you're ready."
Le Yan replied, "Okay."
...
Le Yan performed exceptionally well in this nighttime performance.
Even Yu Changze hadn't expected this.
As the camera gradually zooms out, it freezes on the depths of a pitch-black alley.
The girl's desperate cries gradually subsided...
"Cut!!" Yu Changze suddenly stood up from behind the monitor and shouted through a megaphone, "It's done!"
One take?!
Everyone present was stunned!
After a few seconds of silence, someone suddenly cheered loudly: "One take! Teacher Yue is awesome!"
"Teacher Yue is awesome!"
"Teacher Yue is amazing! She can revise the script on the spot, improvise, and still get it right in one take—"
Amid cheers, the lights in that alley came on.
But Le Yan in the alley remained motionless.
She crouched in the corner, curled up, and remained motionless.
The cheers couldn't pull her back to reality.
She was trapped in the nightmare she had just experienced, just like when she was thirteen...
Lin Xiangyu was the first to realize something was wrong!
"Yang Yang!"
Lin Xiangyu ran out of the crowd and headed towards Le Yan.
A-Xia quickly realized what was happening, grabbed a small blanket from the lounge chair, and followed Lin Xiangyu.
"Yangyang!" Lin Xiangyu ran to Le Yang and squatted down, only to find that her eyes were empty and her curled-up body was trembling uncontrollably.
Lin Xiangyu's heart sank. "Yangyang, what's wrong? Don't scare me..."
"Take her out first." Xia draped a small blanket over Le Yan.
Lin Xiangyu and A Xia helped Le Yan up from the ground and turned to walk out of the alley.
Looking at Le Yan, whose face was pale and eyes were empty, Yu Changze frowned and suddenly realized the seriousness of the situation.
