This scene was the most enjoyable and also the most marvelous one he had performed in "Conquest of the World," not only because Gu Tianlin in the drama developed a sense of mutual admiration for Shen Jinyou, but he himself felt the same for Ye Xian.
He was very much looking forward to acting alongside her in every upcoming scene, eager to see the unique sparks they might create.
As soon as they wrapped up, Jiang Wanze called out to Ye Xian.
Turning with a look of confusion, Ye Xian asked, "Captain, what’s up?"
"I have a favor to ask of you."
Xiao Yang brought over two cups of iced Americano. Holding one, Ye Xian sat under the sun umbrella and asked him, "What is it? Just tell me."
"Next month, Apple Platform is having a Mid-Autumn Festival evening event. They’ve invited me to sing a song in a duet format. Originally, they had someone else lined up, but that person had an emergency and can’t make it, so I wanted to ask if you would sing with me. Is that okay?"
Ye Xian was surprised.
Jiang Wanze nodded, passing her the lyric booklet, "This is the song. You can take a look in advance and ask me if there are any questions."
Ye Xian took the booklet; it was his hit love song from his first-anniversary single — "Shadow Follower."
It wasn’t that there was something wrong with the song...
"Why did you choose me? Singing should be Lin Yan’s forte."
"Because..." Jiang Wanze hesitated for a moment, "For a long time, our fans haven’t been on good terms because of past issues. Now that we are working together on a drama, we hope for its success. I thought maybe we could use this opportunity to perform together to announce that our relationship has thawed. As for Lin Yan, he’s not in good condition lately, so he’s not suited for the performance."
Ye Xian furrowed her brow, "What’s wrong with Lin Yan?"
"It seems like some family issue came up. I don’t know the details."
Ye Xian nodded, trying to remember something about Lin Yan’s family, but she couldn’t recall anything.
Lin Yan apparently never mentioned his family to the other three members of FOR.
"His scenes are coming up in a few days. I hope he gets himself together by then."
"And about the singing..."
Ye Xian picked up the lyric booklet, "I’ll take it home and practice; see how it goes, and then let you know."
As Xia Qingshao and Gu Tianlin grew closer, the love triangle between Gu Tianlin, Xia Qingshao, and Shen Jinyou also intensified. At that moment, Revered Wen announced that Xia Qingshao’s "hypochondria" was not completely incurable. There was a rare herb, the Carefree Flower, which could offer a potential cure, and it existed in three specimens.
One grew on the summit of the world’s steepest cliff.
One was cultivated by the most favored Noble Consort Shen in the Imperial Palace.
The last one had an unknown whereabouts, rumored to have been collected and preserved as a specimen by a Divine Doctor named Bian He.
In order to heal Xia Qingshao’s illness, the trio momentarily set aside their differences and left Qiankun Mountain together on a journey to find the Carefree Flower.
With this, the filming at Yanliu Mountain came to an interim close. Zhou Lu packed her bags and hurried to the new filming location with Ye Xian.
The new location was only a half-hour away from Jiuxi Eighteen Islands and, with a half-day break today, it would be unreasonable to stay at the filming site.
Feeling somewhat anxious, Ye Xian called Pang Kai to ask if Bo Tingshen would be returning to Jiuxi Eighteen Islands tonight.
With quick thinking, Pang Kai handed the phone to Bo Tingshen, "CEO, it’s Ye Xian’s call!"
After Ye Xian asked her question and heard no response from the other end, she felt a bit odd, "Pang Kai? Are you there?"
She suddenly had an ominous premonition, "Please don’t go asking the CEO! It would be best if he doesn’t come back to Jiuxi Eighteen Islands tonight!"
