Gu Qingyan led Gu Yulin over, the headlights blinding Xu Zhaozhao, making it impossible to see his expression.
As he approached the filming location, the atmosphere instantly plummeted to freezing point.
"Card."
The director added a sentence.
This also means that this scene will have to be reshot.
There were only a few seconds left in the shot...
Yu Yao immediately stood to the side, wanting to help Xu Zhaozhao up.
Xu Zhaozhao brushed his hand away, got out of bed, and stood in front of Gu Qingyan.
She knelt down and ruffled Gu Yulin's hair. "Baby Yu, can you go to the dressing room and bring the powder compact to Mommy?"
Gu Yulin nodded. "Okay."
She then turned and ran towards the dressing room.
She had just finished touching up her makeup and clearly didn't need powder; it was just an excuse to get Yu Yu out of the way.
Xu Zhaozhao didn't want Yuyu to see them arguing.
Xu Zhaozhao stood up and looked up at Gu Qingyan after watching Gu Yulin walk into the dressing room.
"What gives you the right to call a halt?"
Her voice was calm, but her clenched fists betrayed her suppressed anger.
Gu Qingyan looked down at her, wanting to reach out and lift her loosened collar, but Xu Zhaozhao dodged him.
He had no choice but to lower his hand and reply, "This is not part of the script."
"It's been changed."
Xu Zhaozhao immediately retorted, "Does that mean that after all these years of acting, Actor Gu hasn't changed a single word of the script?"
This really angered her, and she even used the slightly sarcastic title "Actor Gu".
"The director has already agreed, what right do you have to call for a halt?"
This time her tone was a bit stronger.
"Because I'm a screenwriter."
He looked at Xu Zhaozhao's somewhat surprised eyes and continued, "Whether it can be changed or not depends on my approval."
If eye contact could be materialized, then both of them would be covered in wounds.
Just as the two were locked in a stalemate, Yu Yao stepped forward, pulled Xu Zhaozhao back, and shielded her behind him.
"Teacher Gu, it's pointless to fixate on the script and stifle the actors' creativity."
Gu Qingyan ignored him, took a few steps forward and grabbed Xu Zhaozhao's hand, the two forces secretly competing.
Afraid of hurting Xu Zhaozhao, Yu Yao let go.
"What's interesting?"
Ignoring Xu Zhaozhao's struggles, he met Yu Yao's gaze and said sarcastically, "The second male lead taking over?"
"Gu Qingyan!"
Xu Zhaozhao's wrist ached from his grip. "I was the one who decided to change the script. Can you please stop hurting innocent people every time?"
She finally expressed her anger towards him, but it was because of another man...
Innocent people?
Gu Qingyan gave a cold, smirking smile.
Seeing that things were getting out of hand, the director came over and acted as a peacemaker, saying, "Mr. Gu, I agreed to the changes to this script."
"It's just that you weren't there; it was my oversight."
The director bowed, "But I think the revised script is better, so I hope..."
No one but Gu Qingyan would be so humble towards a director.
"Then let's change it."
Gu Qingyan noticed that the struggle in his hands had lessened.
"Forget about reshoots. Let's stop before we go to bed; the effect will be about the same."
As the saying goes, after a slap, you give a sweet date.
No one dared to disagree; this was already his biggest concession.
With a sharp tug, Xu Zhaozhao was forced to follow him.
"Sister Zhaozhao!"
Yu Yao wanted to follow, but Xu Zhaozhao quickly waved her hand, and he stopped in his tracks.
Gu Qingyan wouldn't really do anything to her, but Yu Yao is another story.
After receiving all sorts of stares, Xu Zhaozhao was dragged into the film crew's restroom.
He lifted her sleeve and put her hands under the tap to wash them.
Xu Zhaozhao looked at him through the mirror; his attention was focused on his hands, which he was carefully washing.
Yu Yao touched her hand.
"Gu Qingyan, I still have scenes to film later."
It was a subtle reminder to him not to do anything reckless.
"Um."
He responded softly, took out paper towels, and wiped the water droplets off their hands.
"Wife..."
He held her hand and nuzzled her neck, like a wronged big dog.
"Stop!"
Xu Zhaozhao turned her head and gently placed her other index finger, which was not restricted, between his lips.
She looked up at him and said, "I don't want to argue with you on set."
"Don't say anything, calm down first."
Gu Qingyan released her hand, and Xu Zhaozhao lowered her head to tighten his belt, which had somehow come loose.
"After filming, I'll go home and settle the accounts properly."
A pretty bow was tied around his waist.
I really wanted to kiss her, but I couldn't bear to ruin her pretty lipstick, so I settled for a light kiss on her cheek.
He whispered in her ear, "Yes, my wife."
The consequence of his reckless flirting was that he received a solid slap to the chest from Xu Zhaozhao.
Xu Zhaozhao tried to slip away, but Gu Qingyan, who was prepared, grabbed her waist and pulled her back.
He got slapped and his lipstick was ruined. Is that too much to ask?
The arm had slowly tightened, extinguishing Xu Zhaozhao's thought of escaping.
"Mom, are you in the bathroom?"
A child's voice came from outside the bathroom door, and both of them were startled.
"I've brought your powder compact, Mom."
It is indeed Gu Yulin.
Gu Qingyan paused, and Xu Zhaozhao suppressed a laugh.
Suppressing a laugh, she answered Gu Yulin outside the door, "Baby, wait a minute, Mommy will be right away."
She gently nudged Gu Qingyan, signaling him to let go.
Letting out a heavy breath, Gu Qingyan released Xu Zhaozhao. "Let's go back and settle the score."
These four words seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
Xu Zhaozhao immediately escaped from his embrace, and as she placed her hand on the doorknob, she didn't forget to turn back and give him a word of advice.
"I'll go out first, you can come out later."
Click.
The scumbag Xu Zhaozhao walked out of the bathroom without looking back, and even thoughtfully closed the door for him.
Gu Qingyan looked back at the single pit slab.
A slight smile played at the corners of her lips.
What can one place in front of the other cover up?
When Xu Zhaozhao took the powder compact from Gu Yulin and returned to the set, everyone's gaze towards her changed considerably.
They completely ignored these gazes, since they had no evidence anyway.
Just like when filming first started, the director leaned closer to Xu Zhaozhao: "Zhaozhao...you and Teacher Gu..."
Xu Zhaozhao smiled and said, "It's alright. He just pulled me aside to ask about some details."
Director Luo Wen nodded with some skepticism, "Won't it affect your shots?"
"No, absolutely not!"
Xu Zhaozhao practically patted her chest to guarantee it.
"That's great."
The director nodded, "Then let's reshoot that childhood kiss scene first!"
?
Xu Zhaozhao's smile froze.
The world is truly absurd; one second you're arguing, the next you have to film a kissing scene with Gu Qingyan.
"No, no problem."
A strong-willed Chinese woman throughout her life.
Xu Zhaozhao's beautiful lipstick was ultimately ruined by Gu Qingyan.
