Could it be Gu Yulin and Tian Yitian who played Zhao Yue and Shangguan Du as children?
Her small hands, hidden beneath the phoenix robe, clenched tightly, and worry lingered in her eyes.
Tian Yitian is the female protagonist of this book's world, and her protagonist aura has been evident in many ways.
For example, 99% of the evaluations of her are positive, which is obviously abnormal.
She knew the little girl was innocent, but as a mother, she naturally thought of her own son.
Xu Zhaozhao was selfish and didn't want Yuyu and Tian Yitian to have too much interaction; she didn't want Yuyu to get hurt.
Still heartbreak...
They walked side by side to the director, dressed in traditional Chinese clothing.
The usually stern-faced director softened his expression when he saw the two adorable little children.
She should have guessed it when she saw Gu Yulin sitting at the dressing table.
Gu Yulin has followed him on so many shows, yet today he's the one who has to do his makeup; it's obvious something's up.
Gu Yulin was still holding the script without any notes in her hand—she had originally thought it belonged to Gu Qingyan, but it turned out to be Gu Yulin's.
Even when the director was talking to them, Gu Yulin would occasionally glance at Xu Zhaozhao out of the corner of his eye.
Xu Zhaozhao couldn't smile.
This father and son are the kind of people who act first and ask for permission later; at this point, it's not realistic to replace them.
"Give."
A cup of iced milk tea was handed over, already with a straw inserted. Xu Zhaozhao turned her head and saw Gu Qingyan.
No wonder he disappeared; he went to get himself some milk tea.
Xu Zhaozhao didn't take it immediately, but asked with a cold face: "The child actors who played us when we were young, are Yu Yu and Tian Tian?"
"yes."
Gu Qingyan felt there was nothing wrong with it and nodded.
Xu Zhaozhao was furious. "Why didn't you tell me beforehand? As Yuyu's mother, don't I have the right to know?"
If Gu Qingyan couldn't tell that Xu Zhaozhao was angry at this moment, then he would have lived these 27 years in vain.
They fell silent.
"sorry."
Although I don't know why Xu Zhaozhao is angry, I should apologize first.
Gu Qingyan lowered his eyes and brought the iced milk tea closer to Xu Zhaozhao's hand. "I wanted to give you a surprise."
He expected that Xu Zhaozhao would be happy to know that Yu Yu had joined the film crew.
It's not that they're not qualified.
Xu Zhaozhao finally took it and took two big gulps to suppress the restlessness in her heart.
Never mind, Gu Qingyan knows nothing, and she can't say anything either.
I found a place to sit down, ready to enjoy my dear son's performance.
Before he could even sit down properly, he saw the director lean down to listen to him say something, and then nod.
Then, Gu Yulin, dressed in a black robe, ran towards her, the wind lifting the hem of his robe.
My son is so handsome.
Xu Zhaozhao made her mental assessment, and the next second she was standing in front of her.
Even when she was angry, she couldn't take it out on her son. Xu Zhaozhao took his little hand and asked, "What's wrong, baby?"
Her grip on his hand tightened, and Gu Yulin, head bowed, crumpled the script in his hand. "Mom..."
"If you don't want me to act, then I won't act."
Xu Zhaozhao was somewhat surprised; Gu Yulin was far too perceptive about her feelings.
She gently rubbed Gu Yulin's small hand to comfort her, "Does Yuyu want to act?"
After a moment of silence, Gu Yulin finally answered her question, "I want to..."
He wanted to appear in the same drama as his mother; otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed to act in it.
"Then act boldly!"
Xu Zhaozhao smiled at him and whispered in his ear, "It was your dad who made me angry, it has nothing to do with the baby."
Hearing this, Gu Yulin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Mom wasn't angry with me.
"Little Zhaoyue, Little Shangguandu, get ready!"
When calling out to the child actors, the director used interjections.
Xu Zhaozhao gently nudged him, gesturing for him to come over, "Go for it, baby!"
Knowing that Xu Zhaozhao wasn't angry with him, Gu Yulin's eyes lit up, and he ran back to the director's side excitedly and nervously.
After Gu Yulin left, Xu Zhaozhao continued drinking her milk tea, refusing to even glance at Gu Qingyan.
Seeing that Gu Yulin and Tian Yitian maintained a polite distance, Xu Zhaozhao's unease was eased by the iced milk tea.
Snap!
The slap of the board marks the official start of my childhood memories.
Zhaoyue is the legitimate daughter of the Minister's tutor. The number of sons in the Minister's family has declined, and in this generation, Zhaoyue is the only legitimate daughter.
Zhaoyue is the sole heir of the Minister's Mansion. From a young age, she has lived a life of comfort and ease, enjoying the Emperor's favor and having unrestricted access to the palace.
While waiting for the Minister to finish his court session, Zhaoyue would only run to the Second Prince's residence.
This sparked much discussion within the palace.
"Girls like you are always running to the Second Prince's mansion. When you grow up, you'll be someone's wife."
Young Zhaoyue would proudly say, "Being a lady is fine, the Second Prince is so good."
The eldest prince, Shangguan Du, watched silently from the side. He had lost his mother at a young age and had the least real power in the palace.
In order to keep an eye on him, the late emperor had him live in a shed next to the Second Prince's residence, where his every move was monitored.
As he watched them admire the moon, share meals, practice calligraphy, and ride horses, he always carried his Bible with him.
Until one day, the little girl came along and broke his peace.
Xiao Zhaoyue wore a beautiful pink dress, clutching a storybook in her hand, her fingertips turning white, looking both nervous and a little girl with a touch of coquettishness.
"Brother Watari, can you teach me how to kiss?"
For the umpteenth time, Xiao Shangguan Du looked up from his Bible and gazed at the girl before him.
He didn't speak, so Xiao Zhaoyue began to explain on her own.
"Those old women said that if you want to be the second princess, you must know how to kiss, but Father only taught me music, chess, calligraphy, painting, the Four Books and Five Classics. How could he teach me these things?"
[Little Shangguan Du kissed someone.]
Xu Zhaozhao recalled the original line from the script and immediately gripped the milk tea cup in her hand tightly.
Holy crap, there was a kissing scene in my childhood memories!!
The memories of the deceased author attacked Xu Zhaozhao again. In the original book, Tian Yitian kissed the villain's cheek in public, causing him to fall in love for life.
This time it was even more outrageous; they kissed right there in public.
No washing allowed! Absolutely no washing allowed!
Xu Zhaozhao threw down her milk tea cup and, without considering the consequences, tried to rush forward to separate the two.
Even if I get scolded by the director, even if I'm back to being universally criticized online, even if I violate professional ethics...
"Zhaozhao!"
Gu Qingyan called out to her, took two big steps, and pulled Xu Zhaozhao into his arms.
Looking at the two little figures in the distance, their lips were getting closer and closer.
Xu Zhaozhao struggled anxiously, leaving several scratch marks on his arm, tears streaming uncontrollably down her face.
"Gu Qingyan, if they kiss, I will hate you!"
Similarly, one might hate oneself.
