Chapter 606: Chapter 606
Sometimes, a movie is just an accessory to facilitate the atmosphere. It doesn’t necessarily have to offer a great viewing experience, as long as it helps the audience accomplish something, then it’s the biggest contributor.
For instance, after watching a movie for half an hour, Sheng Yan was no longer satisfied with just using his hands and decided to start a more hands-on approach.
He Jinxia was kissed into a daze by him and could only manage to mumble, "Let’s go to the room..." in her confused state.
An hour and a half later, Mrs. He and Aunt Rui came back. They didn’t bring the keys, so they rang the doorbell.
It took a while before Sheng Yan came to open the door.
Compared to Sheng Yan, who was looking fresh and beaming like springtime, Jinxia hung her head, her face red as an apple.
Mrs. He hurriedly asked, "Why is your face so hot? Do you have a fever?"
He Jinxia shook her head, explaining softly, "I just choked on water just now, and I was coughing a lot."
Mrs. He then felt relieved.
Aunt Rui looked at He Jinxia and then at Sheng Yan, furrowing her brows. She always felt there was an indescribable atmosphere between the two, quite odd.
With a turn of her eyes, Aunt Rui declined Mrs. He’s offer to come in for a chat and hurriedly left with Sheng Yan.
Once they were outside, Aunt Rui pulled Sheng Yan into the elevator, looked up at him, and found her silly son still had that silly smile on his face. She shivered, feeling it was eerily creepy.
After thinking it over, upon reaching her home, she closed the door, looked around the living room to make sure there was nothing unusual, and then cautiously tapped her trance-like son, asking, "Did you touch any girl?"
Sheng Yan maintained his "silly grin" and didn’t answer.
Aunt Rui waved her hand in front of him to bring Sheng Yan’s focus back gradually from his daze and asked lightly, "What did you just say?"
Aunt Rui, "...I was just asking if you touched that girl?"
Sheng Yan gave a light smile and answered very confidently, "No."
Aunt Rui looked at him suspiciously, "Really? I always feel like your smile is very cunning."
Sheng Yan returned to his usual cool demeanor, "No means no, why would I lie to you?"
Aunt Rui mumbled, "That’s true. Besides, I almost wish you would lie to me, I want a grandson soon..."
Sheng Yan felt embarrassed, ignoring his mother’s unrealistic wish, and turned to enter his room. Halfway there, he remembered something and a slight satisfied smile formed on his face again.
As it turned out, Sheng Yan indeed hadn’t lied; he hadn’t actually "touched" the girl, but he had seen what there was to see and touched what there was to touch, even if he was called a rascal by the girl [shrug].
Meanwhile, after repeated interrogations by her mother, He Jinxia kept swearing that nothing had happened, which finally put Mrs. He at ease.
Jinxia entered her room, irritated by Sheng Yan, that old rascal, and decided to ignore him for the next few days.
Unfortunately, she underestimated the thickness of Sheng Yan, that old rascal’s, skin.
Not replying to WeChat messages?
No problem, he moved his office to their home and handled his work there.
No problem, he would come downstairs and talk to her in front of Mrs. He.
Still ignoring him in person?
Then he’d just make his presence overwhelmingly known by staying around Mrs. He all day long.
With his bold and assertive actions, Sheng Yan completely stumped He Jinxia, who had nothing but admiration for him.
In just under three days, Jinxia was made even angrier by Sheng Yan’s shameless behavior but was helpless against it, and ultimately, she had no choice but to make peace with him.
Of course, Jinxia gave Sheng Yan’s face a good rub when they were alone, and that helped her anger subside.
After spending five days at home, He Jinxia had been thoroughly engrossed in the script, even reaching a frenzied state. Sheng Yan couldn’t watch it any longer, so he urged her to go out and confiscated the script from her.
He Jinxia didn’t know what else to do, so she called Luo You to find something for her to do.
Luo You, "I really don’t know whether to say you can’t sit still or if your hidden attribute is working yourself to death. It hasn’t been long since you finished your last movie, and here you are thinking about finding work again. Ah, do young people these days really have such boundless energy?"
He Jinxia said with a smile, "Not really, I just feel a bit bored and wanted to find something to do."
Luo You exclaimed, "If every star in the entertainment circle was as hardworking as you, I believe our country’s entertainment industry could flourish even more."
Shifting the topic, he spoke about serious matters, "You’ll be joining Director Liu’s crew in five days to shoot the Xianxia film that was agreed upon last year at the charity night. It will be another round of high-intensity work.
My idea is for you to continue resting and properly adjust your mental state, after all, Director Liu is known in the industry for being strict, and the overall shooting atmosphere is very serious, akin to Gu Qiao’s directorial style. Get full chapters from novel⦿fire.net
But don’t worry, unlike Gu Qiao, Director Liu is very amiable when not shooting. He often jokes around with the people in the crew to relax the atmosphere. He is only strict about the content shot. Are you sure you don’t want to rest and recover for a few more days?"
He Jinxia replied, "No need, don’t worry, I’ll be fine."
Luo You, "Okay then, if you want to go out and work these few days, that’s fine too. In two days, Huami Mobile will have an event nearby, you could go and support it, especially since you are one of their spokespeople.
Qin Siqin and Yu Yanyu will also be there; those two spokespeople have been more responsible than you, having supported the event a couple of times in January and continuing in February."
Huami had called me before to ask if you could make it this time.
At that time you were still shooting a movie, and I was worried you would be too tired when you returned, so I declined. Now that you are so keen on working, I’ll communicate again with the person in charge at Huami to finalize the schedule, and I’ll get back to you shortly."
He Jinxia replied with a sure, as she was somewhat bored anyway. She had been analyzing the script these past few days. Every time she closed her eyes, she would see the lead female character Yu Yin’s face and voice in her mind.
Going out was actually Sheng Yan’s idea when he noticed that Jinxia was completely hooked to the script and decisively stopped her obsession.
According to Sheng Yan,
"Acting is your profession, and performing is something you enjoy, but life is not just about acting. There are many other wonderful things waiting for you to discover.
You shouldn’t let acting consume your entire life. Too much obsession can make one mentally unstable. What you need now is not to look at scripts but to let your mind wander and give your spirit a rest."
He Jinxia felt that Sheng Yan was right, so she wanted Luo You to find her something to do.
After hanging up the phone, she sat on the sofa, her eyes downcast in thought. That kid Yu Yanyu, she seemed to have some unfinished business with him...
He Jinxia’s lips curled into a cold smile.
Meanwhile, Yu Yanyu was attending a variety show recording when he suddenly shivered and sneezed out loud.
The surrounding stars teased, "Yanyu, could it be someone is missing you?"
"Hey, why not say Yanyu is missing someone else?"
"Strange, sneezing should mean someone is cursing Yanyu behind his back, right?"
The group joked back and forth, and when Yu Yanyu went to grab a tissue and came back, they told him their conclusion—
"You must have done something wrong, that’s why people are cursing you behind your back!"
Yu Yanyu couldn’t help but roll his eyes at them, giving them the finger, "As if! I am clearly one of the handsomest, best men in the world, universally loved! How could anyone curse me? They only have room to adore me!"
"Whatever!" the others said dismissively.
Yu Yanyu didn’t take any of it to heart, but two days later...
