Chapter 26 Taking a Bath Together
Meng Qingyan is young, with deep and sharp eyes.
As for the makeup, the makeup artist deliberately highlighted the sharpness that is unique to a teenager.
So at this moment, even if he just leaned forward slightly, Bai You could still feel the irresistible sense of oppression from him.
It was as if the sun in the sky disappeared, the surrounding staff disappeared, and all the cameras and colleagues disappeared...
For a moment, the world seemed to be compressed by Meng Qingyan into a strange space that belonged to the two of them alone.
Bai You couldn't keep his balance and took half a step back.
The sunlight finally came in again, shining on the corners of his slightly upturned eyes, catching his eyes off guard.
He calmly stepped forward again, and using Meng Qingyan's figure as a cover, he raised his fingers and pressed hard on his tight abdominal muscles.
"Don't even think about calling me brother," Bai You whispered, "You can't even call me dad."
Someone's happy chuckle came from his ears, and Bai You wished his fingers could turn into diamonds so that he could drill two holes called "Be honest" in this person.
"Qingyan, Baiyou, what are you doing?" Wei Yuan shouted from the other side of the monitor, "Come and take a look."
Hearing this, Meng Qingyan stood up straight.
He slowly lowered his eyelashes, completely hiding the secret smile in his eyes.
"Let's go, Teacher Bai." He said, his tone becoming polite again.
You've wanted to leave a long time ago, okay?
Bai You couldn't help but complain in his heart.
However, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the smile on his face was still natural and gentle.
"What are you two doing?" Seeing the two people walking side by side, Wei Yuan teased, "Let me tell you, it's not time for these two to get together yet."
Hearing this, Zhou Xiuyuan next to her started laughing first.
Fang Zhi also smiled, but his smile was much more subtle.
Only Zhou Lian was not affected by the outside world at all.
“This is not bad,” he said, resting his chin on his hand in thought, “but I think it can be more perfect.”
"Shoot again?" Wei Yuan asked.
"Take another shot." Zhou Lian said.
As they were talking, Bai You and Meng Qingyan had already read this one.
Based on Bai You's past experience as a supporting actor, this one is actually perfect in the eyes of most directors.
On the screen, the boy is tall and slender, the young man is handsome and elegant, one is cold and intimidating, the other is elegant and noble.
It is so pleasing to the eye, but when you are in the same space, it gives you a sense of oppression as if a storm is about to come and undercurrents are surging.
This is how Shen Nian and Zhong Ling’s first meeting was supposed to be.
His disdain and disgust for Zhong Ling did not come from the fact that he was in a superior position, but from the scars of his original family.
The thought flashed through his mind quickly and vaguely, but after holding his breath for a moment, Bai You quickly grasped the key point.
The background of Shen Nian’s character was not as easy as he had understood before.
All his sharpness, the hard shell he showed to the outside world, his superior attitude and arrogance...
In fact, it is the pain and loneliness in his spiritual core that is a reasonable reflection of the outside world.
Almost at the same time, Zhou Lian also pointed this out.
"The thought needs to sink deeper," he said, "it needs to sink a little deeper."
The camera restarts.
"Shot 1, Take 2."
"Shot 1, Take 3..."
The clapperboard made crisp sounds again and again, and Zhou Lian sat behind the camera without saying another word.
Until the fifth time, when the setting sun in the sky gradually turned red, Zhou Lian raised his hand to stop and said something behind the monitor, and the crowd finally burst into loud applause.
Seeing everyone relax, Bai You immediately determined that this round had been completed.
Is five times too much?
Bai You only had time to think about this problem.
"Five times is not too many." A voice suddenly came from behind. Bai You turned around and met Meng Qingyan's smiling eyes.
At this moment, accompanied by the joy of finally succeeding, whether it was Meng Qingyan's words or his smiling eyes, Bai You suddenly felt a warm feeling in his heart that made him feel at ease.
"Thank you, Teacher Meng." He tilted his head and smiled at him.
The clouds on the horizon were dyed a thin layer of red by the setting sun, and that color was reflected in his smiling eyes, making those clear pupils shine and be beautiful.
Meng Qingyan lowered his eyes to look at him, his fingers unconsciously raised slightly, and then put them down again without any expression.
The two of them came to Zhou Lian's side and went to see the final results of the day together.
Their movements were obviously the same and there was no obvious change in the expressions on their faces.
But at this moment, under the camera, the heavy texture unique to the movie, along with the dusk, surges towards people.
"Let's have dinner together tonight." Zhou Lian said to the Shen family of four who were surrounding him.
"Do you want to book a restaurant or have someone send you to the hotel?" Meng Qingyan asked.
"Let's take you to the hotel," Zhou Lian said. "Everyone is tired, so don't go around messing around."
Meng Qingyan didn't say anything else. He turned his head and told his assistant to order food. Everyone packed up their things, changed their clothes, and prepared to return to the hotel.
The film set is remote, so the crew specially arranged two cars to ensure that there is always one car on standby between the hotel and the film set to pick up and drop off the artists.
When Bai You went to the dressing room to change clothes, Tao Yin had already gone to the car to wait for him.
The dressing room occupies three entire rooms on the ground floor of the annex building, with the middle room specially opened up to house wardrobes, hangers, and various tools and equipment for clothing making.
Therefore, the entire dressing room is about twenty to thirty meters long, and the men's and women's changing rooms are located at both ends of the dressing room.
At this moment, Zhou Xiuyuan went to the women's locker room.
Liu Yisi led people in the central area to prepare costumes and accessories for the artists for the next day.
Through the heavy clothes and fabrics, Bai You could vaguely hear the voices of Liu Yisi and others talking to each other.
But at the same time, he could also hear Meng Qingyan's breathing behind him.
There is no better partner for an affair.
It is hidden enough, but someone may come at any time, so it is also exciting enough.
This thought suddenly popped up in Bai You's mind.
However, he quickly put the blame on Meng Qingyan, thinking that he was most likely contaminated by Meng Qingyan.
"I'm going to change my clothes." Bai You picked up his clothes and said. Seeing Meng Qingyan's clothes were still neatly placed there, he couldn't help but ask, "What about you?"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Bai You wished he could bite off his tongue.
Sure enough, the next moment, Meng Qingyan took a step forward and pushed him against the door of the locker room.
"How about I help Teacher Bai change?" He smiled. Although he was asking, his slightly lowered eyes were frighteningly straightforward.
"This is a film crew," Bai You said, "Could it be that Teacher Meng is an old hand at messing around in the film crew?"
"Not really." Meng Qingyan looked down at him, humbly and politely, "I still need to study with Teacher Bai."
"I'll learn from you." Bai You laughed at his amusement and raised the shirt in his hand to fan him.
The shirt swept across Meng Qingyan's eyes, but he just closed them for a moment, and then fixed his gaze on Bai You again.
"Then I'll just help Teacher Bai take off her clothes?" He said seriously, making the second best choice.
"Are you kidding, Meng Qingyan?" Bai You's eyes widened slightly and he couldn't help but confirm with him.
He had ideas, but he was just thinking about it. How could anyone be as bold as Meng Qingyan?
Seeing this, Meng Qingyan finally couldn't hold it back anymore, and the smile in his eyes burst out.
He leaned forward slightly and pressed Bai You firmly against the door of the locker room, but he did nothing else, just raised his hand and held his cheek.
Bai You's face was very small, and when it was wrapped in his hands it was even smaller, with her lips slightly pouted.
Meng Qingyan lowered his head and gave him a hot kiss between the eyebrows.
Bai You's heart softened at the heat, and he quickly asked cautiously, "Why are you acting like you're in love?"
This was not enough, and he added, "Haven't you heard it? Love only smells sour."
"Oh?" Meng Qingyan suppressed the smile in his eyes and said, "So Teacher Bai just heard everything from others? Why don't you try it yourself? Are you afraid?"
Bai You: “…”
The part of my heart that had just softened immediately hardened.
Bai You was about to retort, but Meng Qingyan said, "Next time, let's take it step by step today and start with a kiss."
*
In the evening, everyone gathered in Zhou Lian’s suite to eat barbecue, drink beer and talk about the script.
Bai You had a low alcohol tolerance and only drank two cups, but Zhou Xiuyuan had an amazing alcohol tolerance and didn't miss a single cup.
There were a lot of snacks on the table, but everyone was an adult and rarely touched them. Only Bai You particularly liked the box of dried mangoes, which he held in his hands and chewed on in small bites.
"Teacher Bai likes mangoes?" Fang Zhi asked with a smile.
Bai You acted reserved and nodded, "A little bit."
"Then I'll have an idea in mind when I treat you to fruit next time." Zhou Xiuyuan agreed.
After a few casual chats, everyone got down to business.
Zhou Lian and Wei Yuan took turns analyzing the five shots shot today, slowly going deeper into profiling the characters.
Everyone listened attentively and soon joined in the discussion.
There was more show the next morning. At around ten o'clock, when most of the food on the table had been eaten up and everyone had gained a lot, the dinner came to an end.
Wei Yuan finished it off.
"The love scenes between you two will be the real challenge in the future," he sighed.
Romantic scenes are not difficult to shoot, but it is really difficult to shoot them to perfection.
Zhou Lian’s requirements in this regard are extremely high.
Otherwise, when the team for Building No. 8 was being formed, everyone would not have tacitly considered Zhou Lian as the first one.
When he asked Wei Yuan to be his assistant director, he was actually mentally prepared to take on the tough task.
At this point, he looked at Fang Zhi next to him and said, "Teacher Fang will have to guide them more in this area in the future."
"They don't necessarily need me to lead them," Fang Zhi said modestly, "They both have such high levels of understanding, much better than I did when I debuted."
Zhou Lianduo drank two more cups and retorted: "What do they know? They probably don't even understand what love is."
Hearing this, Bai You laughed and looked at Meng Qingyan.
Meng Qingyan was also looking at him, with a meaningful smile between his handsome eyebrows.
"Teacher Bai is indeed pure," he said.
"Of course," Bai You smiled back, "I'm not as experienced as Mr. Meng."
"Hahaha..." Wei Yuan was amused. "He is only a few years old. How rich can he be?"
"How rich?" After laughing, he couldn't help but tease Meng Qingyan.
"It started when I was a kid," Meng Qingyan said with a nonchalant smile, his words were even more true and false, "The first princess I liked was Snow White, and I still miss her till now."
"Puff..." Zhou Lian almost spit out a mouthful of beer, but he forced himself to hold it back, making a very strange sound.
"You kid," he coughed twice, "didn't your mother get you started when she read fairy tales to you?"
Meng Qingyan smiled but did not comment.
"You figured it out much earlier than I did." Zhou Xiuyuan also laughed so hard that she fell over.
"Where's Teacher Bai?" Meng Qingyan unkindly brought the topic back to Bai You, "Does Teacher Bai like Snow White? If so, then we are still rivals in love."
"Go to hell with you, okay?" Wei Yuan couldn't help laughing. "The prince is your true rival in love."
"To be honest, judging from his background and appearance," Zhou Xiuyuan said with a smile, "isn't Qingyan a living prince himself?"
"hehe……"
Bai You couldn't help but complain in his heart.
If Zhou Xiuyuan saw Meng Qingyan's hungry look in bed, she would probably feel embarrassed to compare him to a prince, right?
Bai You never liked Snow White, but she played Snow White.
Thinking of his dark history, he moved his toes a little awkwardly.
"I don't dare to be a love rival with Teacher Meng," he said. "Teacher Meng is so good at flirting, I will definitely lose."
Meng Qingyan didn't blush or feel nervous. He just took it as a compliment and thanked Bai You seriously.
"Okay, you two," Wei Yuan said with a smile, "Forget about it for now, but you really need to get used to each other and cultivate your relationship later."
The two of them understood each other tacitly, and rarely did they exchange sharp words, and they both agreed.
Everyone returned to their rooms.
After being busy all day, even Bai You felt tired.
He went to the bathroom to run some hot water, planning on taking a nice, relaxing bath later.
Then he opened the suitcase and sorted out the various daily necessities.
Just as I was busy, Meng Qingyan's message came in.
"Teacher Bai," Meng Qingyan asked, "Do you want to see Xiaoliang?"
Bai You: “…”
The door opened, and in the quiet corridor, Meng Qingyan's tall figure was standing outside the door.
Bai You took a half step back, raised his head slightly, and whispered, "Only look at Xiaoliang?"
"And this." Meng Qingyan said, raising his hand.
He was holding a paper bag in his hand. Bai You lowered his eyes and saw that it was the dried mango that he had eaten in the director's room today.
Bai You hugged the dried mango in her arms, feeling embarrassed to stop him.
"Are you still packing?" Meng Qingyan asked when he saw the toiletries and various charging cables on his desk.
"I went to a meeting yesterday after I checked in," Bai You said, "Then Xiaoliang had another problem, and I haven't made time until now."
When Xiaoliang was mentioned, he thought of business: "How is Xiaoliang today? Did you eat well? How is your spirit after we left?"
"Auntie went to see it this afternoon and said it was in good spirits." Meng Qingyan said, "But I haven't had time to see it myself yet."
He sat down on the sofa and hooked his finger at Bai You: "Come, let's go together."
Bai You couldn't resist the temptation and moved closer.
The cat feeder is very smart, and the nodes where cats appear will be captured.
Xiaoliang ate four times today, and each time he looked at the camera curiously. His round eyes appeared on the screen, looking so adorable.
Bai You read it carefully, his heart softened and his tiredness disappeared.
"It's so blissful to pet cats," he said, adding, "It's just as blissful to pet cats online."
"Really?" Meng Qingyan asked, "Since Teacher Bai has already smoked it, is it my turn now?"
"Ah?" Bai You was stunned. Before he could understand the meaning of his words, Meng Qingyan beside him had already stretched out his arms and hugged him tightly.
Then, he silently buried his cheek in the crook of his neck and gently sniffed the light rose scent on his body.
Bai You's body tensed up, then slowly relaxed, and he raised his hand to touch his hair.
"What a little brother." He teased, but his voice was not as clear as before, but softer.
Meng Qingyan didn't talk back this time.
No one knew that when he mentioned Snow White, he also thought of the white school uniform jacket with half the sleeves stained with blood when Bai You was protecting Jin Baobao when she was a child.
He wanted to kiss him, kiss his scar.
Hearing this, he simply tightened his arms around Bai You again, hugging Bai You so tightly that it was a little difficult for her to breathe.
The bathroom door was not closed, and the sound of running water accompanied by humid heat slowly enveloped people, which could easily confuse the mind.
Bai You couldn't help but raise his hand again, and his fingertips slid down Meng Qingyan's smooth jawline.
"Forget it," he said, rarely showing any relenting feelings, "I'll let you stay and take a bath with me tonight."
