Soon, Nguyen Thanh An emerged from the dressing room after changing her clothes. It was a layered, retro court dress with lace trim, hidden patterns, and tiny pearls embroidered along the edges. The cuffs were lantern sleeves.
Her long, black hair cascaded over her shoulders, the ends curling slightly inwards. Her face was free of makeup; compared to Molly's previous slightly smoky makeup, she looked more like a lotus emerging from the water, untouched by any dust.
She exudes a clean, youthful aura, except for a hint of red at the corners of her eyes.
"Mr. Charlie, I'm going to the dressing room now."
"Okay, okay..."
Charlie was still frowning and thinking about the plot when he looked up and froze. He glanced at Shi An—well, indifferent, but the plot required her to dress quite provocatively, which was unexpectedly seductive.
And what about Nguyen Thanh An?
She was dressed quite conservatively, as innocent as a young girl, and only the faint glimpses of her vibrant colors made people realize her sweetness.
Seeing that Ruan Qing'an was about to put on makeup, Charlie quickly stood up, almost tripping on the ground: "Wait, don't put on makeup, whatever you do, you'll lose that charm if you put on makeup."
Is that all?
Ruan Qing'an was slightly taken aback, while Charlie quickly stepped forward and looked her up and down: "That's fine. I still have some ideas about the plot."
...
About half an hour later, filming resumed, and Charlie sat behind the camera, carefully watching the footage.
The camera focused on the end of the cobblestone path, where a pair of bare, jade-like feet stepped onto the cold pavement. Seemingly startled by the chill, the toes curled slightly. On the fair ankles were golden bells, their melodious ringing filling the air.
Like a newborn fawn, it came running lightly.
The girl wore an elaborate silk dress, yet her bright red eyebrows and eyes were as pure as the first snow, making one unconsciously want to hold her in the palm of one's hand.
Stepping across the pebbled path, you enter a vast, dreamlike backyard garden.
The enormous fish tank shimmered in the sunlight, its surface sparkling like stars scattered across the water. A hazy mist obscured the view, yet it exuded a mysterious allure that drew people closer.
The girl seemed a little dazed. She followed the steps one by one to the edge, leaned out, and looked down into the water.
The next moment—
As the water rippled and splashed, a figure suddenly emerged from the water, its deep blue fishtail shimmering like a dream in the sunlight.
The Sirens have an extremely aggressive and cold face. They are ferocious predators in the deep sea. Their drooping eyebrows and eyes give off a chilling gaze. When they are backlit, their eyes almost make people willingly suck them in and drown in them.
The girl looked up at him and unconsciously reached out her slender hand.
The indifferent siren suddenly smiled slightly, like a new bud sprouting after the ice and snow melted. He bent down slightly, closing the distance between himself and the girl, and his pale, slender hand reached towards her waist.
As he turned his back, sharp claws silently extended from his hand.
The ferocious predator bared its fangs.
The mist dissipated again, and with a sway of its deep blue tail, it suddenly embraced the girl, flipped over, and carried her underwater.
Beneath the shimmering surface of the water, in the warm sunlight of the underwater depths, the girl, as if lured, fell with the siren, seemingly buried beneath the deep sea. Yet, her slender hand grasped his hidden claws.
—A twisted love, even in death, for its hidden danger.
The moment the recording was paused, the entire studio fell into complete silence. Charlie, sitting behind the camera, gripped his hand excitedly: "I said it, I said it, no words are needed, no words are needed!"
"Just one glance is enough, just one glance between them is enough, that's the feeling I want!!!"
At this moment, Ruan Qing'an had already been brought to the surface of the water by Shi An. Her face was pale, and she was coughing softly, as if she had choked on the water. She lay pitifully on Shi An's chest.
Shi An sighed softly, turned over and picked her up, carrying her down the steps. He then picked up a large towel from the side and wrapped it around her.
Ruan Qingan sneezed: "Isn't it amazing?"
"Yes, that's impressive."
Shi An said softly, his slender fingers still holding Ruan Qing'an's slender waist, but he couldn't help but caress it, as if he could feel the delicate and soft touch beneath her clothes.
The color in his eyes seemed to be churning with thick, sticky emotions.
Shi An was well aware of his professional competence. Acting was acting, and it wasn't like he hadn't acted in romantic scenes before, but... he had to admit that Charlie's taste was so good that even he couldn't help but be moved.
They do seem to be a good match.
Hmm... he meant matching the couple's perfume.
Just as Shi An's thoughts were in turmoil, Charlie strode forward, and Ruan Qing'an, who was in his arms, looked up and said, "Mr. Charlie, is that alright?"
"Very good, it should be excellent!"
Charlie was full of praise: "You two are such a perfect match! The sexual tension you create is so strong it's overwhelming, even through the screen!"
"Really?!"
Ruan Qing'an's eyes lit up, and she eagerly leaned forward, looking up at Shi An, even able to see his Adam's apple bobbing slightly: "Shi An, Shi An, what do you think? Isn't it super nice? We're a perfect match?"
"..."
Although she had just admitted it to herself, Shi An didn't say it aloud, and just glanced at her: "You should go change your clothes."
Ruan Qingan wilted instantly, like an eggplant struck by frost.
She drawled out her words with a pitiful expression, "Oh..."
Seeing this, Charlie couldn't help but want to step in and uphold justice: "Shi An, you shouldn't be so harsh on Miss Ruan—"
"..."
Shi An looked over with eyes devoid of any emotion.
Charlie's voice stopped abruptly. He paused, raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, and resignedly said, "Fine, you handle it, it's your business."
037: [The Heartfelt Squad gains another powerful member!]
"At least they dared to say something, little system, what about you?"
Ah... I don't have the means...
Ruan Qing'an raised an eyebrow: "I'm trying my best to give you a chance to stand in front of Shi An. Try to seize it, little system. Are you touched?"
037 shook his head repeatedly: [I dare not move, I dare not move.]
The atmosphere on their side was relaxed, and Charlie even felt that there was no need to shoot a second time. The inspiration and chemistry shown in the first take were already good enough, and even the staff from the other studios were laughing.
Molly, who thought she should be the center of attention, was left standing to the side, her face ashen and her hands clenched tightly.
"Wait a minute, I've rested enough, let's start filming!"
