Last shot of the whole scene, and this one is a wrap.
Zeng Minghui: "Cut! Very good, done in one take!"
One has to admit, the charm of a good actor lies just here, not only in bringing their own character to life but also in enhancing the performances of their fellow actors. This first encounter scene between the female lead and the second male lead has turned out to be Luo Yuwei’s best performance since the start of the shooting.
Zeng Minghui directed the martial arts choreographer to guide Ye Xian with the upcoming action scenes. After a day’s shooting, Ye Xian was exhausted, experiencing back and waist pain, lying in the resting room enjoying the latest Chinese massage techniques that Zhou Lu had learned. Thankfully, she had the foresight to tell Bo Tingshen that she would be staying at the Yanliu Mountain Hotel for these few days. Otherwise, after a day of shooting, cooking for him, and an early run the next day, she might have dropped dead.
"Brother Ye, does that feel good?"
"Yes, if I had some cookies or snacks to eat now, it would be even better!"
"Then I’ll go buy some!"
Zhou Lu was just about to grab her bag to buy some dessert when the door to the resting room was pushed open, and Luo Yuwei walked in with two elegant gift boxes, "No need to buy any, I’ve already brought some."
Ye Xian turned her face, "Luo Yuwei, what brings you here?"
"I came to thank you."
As she spoke, she glanced at Zhou Lu.
Zhou Lu: "???" Is this woman trying to get me to leave? No way, I’m not letting Brother Ye be alone with her!
Ye Xian: "Xiao Lu isn’t an outsider, and she’s discreet. Just say whatever you want to say."
"Mm, thank you for last night, and also, I apologize for the wrong things I said before!"
Luo Yuwei suddenly bowed to her. Ye Xian stood up from her chair, "No need, let’s not bring it up again. As long as you’re fine, that’s what matters."
"These are two boxes of cookies I made especially for you; please take them."
"Alright, thank you."
Ye Xian took the cookies. Luo Yuwei gently moved a stray hair behind her ear, flashed a smile at her, "Then... I’ll head out now, remember to eat the cookies."
Luo Yuwei left the resting room. Zhou Lu watched her back, feeling that something was a bit strange.
Luo Yuwei today... was she acting a bit too coy?
Ye Xian opened the gift boxes, one box of cranberry cookies and one box of egg yolk pastries. They smelled great, "Xiao Lu, come on, let’s dig in!"
Ye Xian thought that Luo Yuwei using two boxes of cookies to express her gratitude meant the end of it.
Unexpectedly, the next day, Luo Yuwei brought her a packed lunch, and the day after that, at the end of shooting, handed her a water bottle and a towel, even seeming inclined to help her wipe her sweat due to her inconvenience.
"It’s been tough, shall we eat together?"
After shooting, Luo Yuwei came over with two lunch boxes.
She brought lunch again?
Ye Xian raised an eyebrow, her way of showing gratitude seemed a bit too generous, didn’t it? Until when would this continue?
"You don’t need to bring lunch for me next time, I can just eat the meal boxes from the crew or the food Xiao Lu prepares."
Luo Yuwei: "How can that be okay? Wanze told me you got hurt while rescuing me; I must cook for you until your injuries are fully healed."
"The injury has actually almost completely healed."
Ye Xian wanted to refuse, but Luo Yuwei had already set up the bowls and chopsticks, and even opened a drink for her, so she had no choice but to sit down and eat.
Luo Yuwei sat opposite her, looking rather hesitant, "Ye Xian, it seems like... your relationship with President Bo is quite special. Are you two close?"
