They walked along the narrow path, with street lights illuminating their way. Silently they treaded, until they reached the Xue familyâs residence. Only then did he speak, âWeâre here.â
âAh, alright, thank you.â
Although Huang Qichu has confessed his feelings and she also accepted his confession, their relationship still didnât resemble that of a usual couple. They rarely went out, hardly expressed words of love, and unlike other girls, she wasnât overly attached. Not to mention, because both belonged to different schools, they could only manage to meet once or twice a week.
Now, their exchanges still felt as polite as if they were just regular friends.
âThank you, for today.â
âNo, no.â Xue Feifei turned to look at her room, âWell, I should get going first.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWait.â Huang Qichu stopped her, hesitated for a while then handed her a small item from his pocket, âI.. I bought a gift.â
Xue Feifei looked down and to her surprise, he gifted her a lipstick. Huang Qichuâs face turned slightly red, âThat..I didnât know what youâd like, so I just bought this when I went shopping with my cousin the other day.â
âI want to open it and see, if you donât mind?â
Huang Qichu nodded.
It was a branded lipstick, priced at 300, reasonably affordable for students. Xue Feifei opened it immediately, and even applied some on her lips, âDoes it look good?â
The color of the lipstick was bright, but she was more radiant. Huang Qichu kept nodding, his face flushed in a second, âYour lips look really lovely. I wonder, if I could, could⦠â
He felt shy to say, worried he might cross a line and frighten her. But he really craved to taste the lipstick on her lips.
âIf you could, what?â Xue Feifei found his flustered reaction amusing, âYou mean this?â
At the moment of touch, Huang Qichu was startled, but quickly, he pulled her into his arms, deepening the contact.
â¦
âAlright, I understand.â Xue Feifei nodded her head. As the shooting resumed, she took a deep breath. She seemed to adjust her emotions: not just being proactive, but now showing a boldness that seemed reckless and tinged with the despair of no tomorrows. Of course, she is in despair. No matter how wonderful he is, heâs still someone elseâs husband, and Yu Sixingâs brother-in-law. How could she be with him again?
All the emotions combined, Xue Feifeiâs vibe was back instantly, not just back, but now there was a rested intensity as well. This emotion, instantly breathed life into the character.
Huang Mi also had to work really hard to match the radiant Xue Feifei. After this shot was completed, even Director Zhao was full of praise.
After this scene, the rest were either action or drama scenes. There were one or two scenes to be shot at night, but because the afternoon scenes had been completed quickly, the night scenes didnât drag on too late, and were completed by nine thirty.
What really irritated Yu Sixing was that Lu Weixi was actually sharing a room with Xue Feifei again.
This was really shameless, he immediately dialed Qin Zhiyouâs number: âYou bastard, where are you? Hurry up and come to XX film studios! Come and take your wife away!â
âExcuse me, Iâm in Yan City, okay? Besides, wherever my wife is, thatâs none of your business.â
Yu Sixing hung up the phone, then went directly to Xue Feifeiâs room. Not willing to help? Doesnât matter, Iâll just take my sister-in-law away by myself!
