Chapter 23 You are full of affection
(rain)
Da Lei (soaked to the skin, frantically reaching out to pull Xiaoyu): Xiaoyu...
Xiaoyu (steps back indifferently with a distant look in his eyes): I think I have made myself very clear.
Da Lei (his voice was choked with sorrow): No... Give me a chance, Xiaoyu, I can't live without you...
Xiaoyu (with cold eyes and resolute tone): If I had known this would happen, why did I do it in the first place?
…
Later on, there is even a scene where Da Lei kneels down, pulls down his trouser legs, and cries bitterly for forgiveness!
Wu Suowei went over the lines and scenes in his mind, and couldn't help but secretly curl up the corners of his mouth.
So cliché… Really so cliché!
but……
Imagine that arrogant and domineering Chi Cheng kneeling in front of me in the heavy rain, pulling at his own trouser legs, crying like an idiot and saying "I can't live without you"...
hiss--!
Wu Suowei quickly pursed his lips, fearing that he would laugh out loud.
This feeling... when I think about it... it's pretty good!
Chi Cheng, ah Chi Cheng, you have come to this day~
Hehehe…
The little devil in Wu Suowei's heart danced wildly, and the depression he had just felt was swept away, leaving only the anticipation of evil fun.
The unconcealable pride and gloating on his face were clearly captured by Chi Cheng in the rearview mirror.
Chi Cheng tightened his grip on the steering wheel, a dark light flashed in his eyes, and then faded away into a helpless smile.
He glanced sideways at Wu Suowei, and said with a hint of teasing, "You really want to see me kneel down for you?"
Wu Suowei was happily imagining Chi Cheng crying bitterly, but was startled when he heard this. He immediately restrained his expression, pretended to be calm and looked out the window, and said in a long voice: "I didn't~"
But the slightly rising ending tone still betrayed him.
Chi Cheng chuckled and stopped teasing him.
But the smile in his eyes deepened.
Want to see it? Sure.
As long as he is happy.
When we arrived at the set, it was busy.
The makeup artist called Wu Suowei over to put on makeup.
Wu Suowei sat in front of the mirror, closed her eyes and let the makeup brush sweep across her face, but in her mind she was thinking over and over again about the scene that was about to happen.
How to express that kind of indifference and determination?
The eyes should be cold, the tone should be calm, the movements should be crisp and clear, without any dragging...
We need to show Xiaoyu's despair and determination to leave after being heartbroken.
He couldn't help but wonder, how would Chi Cheng act?
That madman...will he really kneel down?
Will you cry?
According to the script, he had to cry very sadly and desperately...
What does someone like Chi Cheng look like when he cries?
Wu Suowei imagined Chi Cheng's red eyes and tear-stained face...
Hiss, it’s a bit hard to imagine, but... it feels inexplicably good?
The idea of evil humor came to my mind again: if I deliberately make a few mistakes later...
Wouldn't that make Chi Cheng kneel a few more times? Cry a few more times?
Hehehe…
Just thinking about that scene, Wu Suowei felt relaxed all over, it was almost better than earning a few hundred dollars... No, no, no, a few dozen dollars would be even better!
He tried hard to suppress the corners of his mouth, for fear that the makeup artist would notice.
"Okay, Teacher Wu." The makeup artist's voice interrupted his imagination.
Wu Suowei opened his eyes, looked at himself in the mirror with light makeup on and looking even more distant and indifferent, and nodded.
As soon as I stood up, I heard Brother Nian shouting with a loudspeaker, "Actors! Are you two actors ready? The rain scene is about to start shooting!"
"I'm coming!" Wu Suowei responded quickly, picked up the black long-handled umbrella handed to him by the props team next to him, took a deep breath, and walked towards the "apartment building entrance" arranged in the center of the set.
The rain had begun to fall, soaking the ground.
Wu Suowei opened his umbrella, stood in the designated position, and tried hard to adjust his mood and put himself into the state of "little fish".
Indifferent, alienated, with a dead heart and determination after being betrayed.
Chi Cheng also came over.
He didn't have an umbrella, and according to the script, he had to be in a miserable state, soaked from head to toe in the rain.
The "rain" soaked his expensive costume, his hair stuck to his forehead, and water droplets flowed down his angular jawline.
He glanced at Wu Suowei with a complicated look, filled with a heavy emotion that Wu Suowei could not understand.
The clapperboard fell with a click.
Wu Suowei immediately got into the state.
He held a black umbrella and walked steadily towards the "apartment building entrance."
The brim of the umbrella was pulled down very low, covering most of his face, revealing only his taut jaw and tightly pursed lips. His whole body exuded a cold air that kept people away.
In the shadows of the dim corner at the entrance of the apartment building, a tall figure was curled up there.
He was soaked, his expensive suit was wrinkled and stuck to his body, his hair was messy and dripping with water, and he looked in a disheveled state.
Hearing footsteps, Chi Cheng suddenly raised his head.
The rain slid down his pale cheeks.
His gaze pierced through the rain and fell directly on Wu Suowei who was walking towards him with an umbrella.
Chi Cheng tried hard to imagine Wu Suowei leaving him.
leave……
No, he doesn't allow it.
He struggled to stand up, his movements staggering a little.
He tentatively stretched out his hand in Wu Suwei's direction, his fingertips trembling slightly from the cold.
The rain continued to flow down his outstretched arms.
His voice was a little hoarse.
"Little Fish..."
Wu Suowei stopped.
The edge of the umbrella was slightly raised, revealing his cold, calm eyes.
He looked at the disheveled Chi Cheng in front of him, and at the wet hand reaching out to him, his eyes as if he was looking at a stranger.
He didn't move at all, but instead took a step back, clearly keeping a distance.
The umbrella blocked the raindrops between them, and also blocked all the warmth. His voice was clear, cold, and without a single ups and downs.
"I think I've made myself clear."
According to the script, Chi Cheng should be completely crushed by this cold rejection, fall into great sadness, and then stand up and kneel down to beg.
However--
Chi Cheng looked at Wu Suowei's cold eyes and listened to his icy voice, and a feeling of annoyance flashed through his heart.
He was indeed trying to empathize with the sadness of "Da Lei" losing "Xiao Yu", but the person standing before him was the living Wu Suowei.
This is the person he lost and found again and must never lose again.
The strong possessive desire and the deeper fear after losing and regaining it instantly overwhelmed the "sadness" required for acting.
He uncontrollably took a half step forward, his outstretched hand stubbornly not retracted, the sadness in his eyes mixed with too much stubbornness that could not be concealed.
Wu Suowei:?
This feeling... isn't right?
In the script, Da Lei should be very desperate and sad at this time, but Chi Cheng’s eyes... why does it feel weird?
There is sadness, but why is there also a feeling...
The feeling of "Stop messing around and come home with me"?
“Crack!”
Nian Ge's voice sounded in time, with obvious dissatisfaction.
Wu Suowei immediately quit the play and breathed a sigh of relief.
Chi Cheng also instantly restrained his outward emotions and returned to his usual calmness, but the red bloodshot under his eyes could not fade away for a while.
Brother Nian came over with the script, frowning, and looked at Wu Suowei first: "What do you think?"
Wu Suowei was stunned and pointed at himself: "Me?"
He thought about it and said, "It should be... okay?"
He felt that he had acted the role of indifference quite well.
Nian Ge didn't comment. He turned to look at Chi Cheng, his tone a little helpless: "Mr. Chi, is that what you call sadness?"
He gestured with his hands, "Your expression is full of affection, okay? Full of affection! What I want is heart-wrenching pain! Despair! The feeling of the world collapsing when your lover is leaving you! I'm not asking you to act out a deep, affectionate gaze!"
Chi Cheng touched the tip of his nose, feeling a little embarrassed.
The person he had been thinking about was right in front of him, and he felt that he had tried really hard to be "sad" just now.
He tried to defend himself: "I was empathizing with the sadness of losing a loved one..."
"Substitution?" Nian Ge interrupted him, raising his voice to guide, "Now! It's the person you love the most! He doesn't want you anymore! He's leaving you forever! You'll never see him again! Do you understand?"
He pointed at Wu Suowei, "Him! Wu Suowei! The one who played Xiaoyu! He doesn't like you anymore! He wants to break up with you!"
