According to the script, this scene required the female lead, Xiu Momo, to finally see the male lead Lin Zixiao, who had been imprisoned for days. Overcome with emotion and pitiful towards his current "fragility," there was a hug and kiss after a long awaited reunion.
Of course, due to Yu Zexiao’s distaste for other women’s hugs and kisses, this scene had to be altered to use a body double. In the end, it was through editing and a stand-in that the scene was completed without Yu Zexiao having to be touched by a woman like Jiang Xuanqi!
As for Jiang Xuanqi, she had recently gotten quite close with Young Master Liu. To the outside world, her scandal with Yu Zexiao was still believed to be genuine marketing. So, when the two officially broke off, Jiang Xuanqi kept up the act of a fragile, powerless damsel. Even after breaking up with her "ex-boyfriend" Yu Zexiao, she continued to love him without resentment or regret.
Surely enough, her act won her a chorus of sympathy from the public. Later, with Young Master Liu’s persistent pursuit and their public displays of affection, Jiang Xuanqi’s "half-hearted" acceptance of his courtship not only prevented her popularity from declining but actually gained her even more sympathy and support.
Throughout this process, Yu Zexiao remained silent. From the beginning of the rumour to its end, he hardly made any official statement; it was all fabricated by the entertainment company. Now that they had "broken up," he still didn’t mention a word.
Anyway, when the scene finally started shooting, Yu Zexiao and Jiang Xuanqi, surprisingly, did not argue and the filming went quite smoothly.
Despite the exhaustion from the long journey, everyone was a bit fatigued. But it was precisely this appropriate level of weariness that made the on-screen sense of chase and escape come alive. Because Situ Xuan wasn’t by Jian Anning’s side, Yu Zexiao rarely showed such exceptional performance, bursting with acting skill! The director thought they would have to shoot well into the night, but unexpectedly, by 9:30 PM, they had already wrapped up.
------------------------------------
In the luxurious room, Yu Zexiao lay bored on the bed, his handsome face buried in the pillows, tossing and turning restlessly.
Because Jian Anning was not there.
It wasn’t that she was deliberately absent from the room, but because she had to fetch some documents for Yu Zexiao’s work schedule and filming tasks for the following day. While discussing the shooting details with the crew, a call came through—it was from Yu Zexiao.
Surrounded by people, she did not shy away and answered the call. But before she could hear two words, what Yu Zexiao said scared her out of even daring to enter the room!
"Why haven’t you come back yet! Hurry up and return to the room! I’m all cleaned up, lying on the bed waiting for you!"
Jian Anning nearly dropped her phone upon hearing his slightly coquettish tone!
This man, ever since he humbly confessed to her, had switched to shameless mode. Not only did he act indecent in the car, but now he was even sending her harassing texts! Yet, following the trail of this message, she could even picture it: an incredibly handsome man, just after a shower, with his entire body wrapped only in a white towel around the vital parts, shamelessly (without) and brazenly (limit) lying on the head of the bed waiting for her to return.
