Chen Duling: No, it hurts

Chapter 95 Chen Duling: No, it hurts

Wei Jun temporarily ignored it, letting the hashtag #WeiJunChenDuLingChatForThreeHours# continue to gain traction.

After Chen Duling finished her activities in Beijing and returned to Shanghai, and signed the contract, Wei Jun immediately took her to get a haircut.

Celebrity fashion styling studio.

"Can I not cut it?" Chen Duling sat in the swivel chair, covering her hair with her hands, pleading with Wei Jun behind her.

"Alright, then we don't need to act," Wei Jun said, sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, looking at Chen Duling in front of him. "Just pay the compensation according to the contract."

"You didn't say you wanted to cut your hair." Chen Duling said with a sullen face. Her hair, which she had finally managed to grow long, was going to be cut off today.

"Didn't I say that now?" Wei Jun smiled and nodded to the hairstylist, "Let's get started, A-Bn."

The hairstylist swished and slashed, cutting Chen Duling's hair. She closed her eyes, unable to bear watching.

Half an hour later, a "Chen Yunru hairstyle" that barely reached her shoulders was cut out. Chen Duling stood up, looked in the mirror, and examined herself from left to right: "It looks pretty good."

Wei Jun pursed his lips, saying it wasn't the hairstyle that was good-looking, but rather that Chen Duling had excellent bone structure and a beautiful face, so she could pull off any hairstyle.

He glanced at Chen Duling and thought he might want to replicate her short hairstyle from the Paris Fashion Week in his previous life—a cool French girl.

After she finished cutting her hair, Wei Jun pulled the main cast members to take stills. The web series is a time-travel suspense idol drama, so of course it has to be set in a fictional world. Since it's fictional, they directly used the costumes from the previous life's "Someday or One Day".

Once the photoshoot was completed, the two actors waited until their popularity was at its peak before releasing the stills on Weibo and revealing the main cast.

The second picture shows Wei Jun, wearing an orange-yellow coat, and Chen Duling, wearing a blue shirt and a white shirt, back to back.

The third one...

The comment section instantly became lively.

[Wei Jun and Chen Duling!!! What an amazing cast! Can't wait!]

[A time-traveling campus drama? The male and female leads each play two characters? Wei Jun is the screenwriter? Even if it's shit, I'll still try it.]

Is Wei Jun really that talented? He's a singer-songwriter, an actor, and a screenwriter all at the same time.

[Can we finish filming today and upload it tomorrow? The wait is killing me!]

[Wei Jun is taking on his first leading role, and we hope everyone will support him. We look forward to the early broadcast of "Someday or One Day"]

Riding on the popularity of the two, the hashtag #SomedayorOneDay# trended on social media.

Shanghai, XH District, 7:00 AM.

"Beep beep beep~"

The shrill ringtone of a cell phone rang out in the exquisitely decorated hotel room.

The bell rang for a while, then stopped, and then rang again.

Chen Duling was awakened by her phone ringing. She groggily sat up in bed, squinted, and fumbled around for a while before finally finding a pair of silver-rimmed glasses on the bedside table and putting them on.

With her glasses on, Chen Duling's vision became clear. She looked at her phone, which was still making a sound, picked it up, and saw that it was Wei Jun calling.

"What's up so early in the morning?" Chen Duling was woken up and was in a bad mood, her tone slightly displeased.

"Who was it that swore yesterday that they could definitely get up?" Wei Jun teased. "Get up and work out, don't dawdle. I'll be waiting for you in the parking lot downstairs. You have ten minutes to wash up."

"Okay, okay," Chen Duling said with a sullen face, pleading with Wei Jun, "Can it be in twenty minutes?"

"Say it again and I'll give you five minutes," Wei Jun said coldly.

"Fine," Chen Duling hung up the phone, threw it into the blankets, and punched the white sheets several times, yelling, "Damn Wei Jun, you stinking Wei Jun, you think you're so great just because you're a producer—"

After pounding on her for a while, her anger subsided, and she obediently got up to wash and brush her teeth. Who told her to promise him yesterday that she would get up and exercise, only to suffer herself?

Wei Jun was speechless, looking at his phone that had been disconnected, and smiled slightly.

Before filming began, Wei Jun needed to take Chen Duling to the gym to lose a little bit of baby fat from her face. Being too cute or adorable wouldn't work; she needed to have a kind of cold and fragile feeling that evoked pity.

Wei Jun designed a fitness plan for her, the first stage of which was to activate metabolism and burn fat throughout the body.

The second stage involves local sculpting, strengthening lines, and adding strength training, focusing on the core and upper body. Chen Yunru's posture is hunched and her shoulders are shrunk, while Huang Yuxuan's posture is upright and her chest is out. To switch freely, it is necessary to strengthen the back muscles to open up the chest cavity.

The third stage involves precise body shaping and water control, and the diet and fitness plans for each stage are different.

He specially bought a gym membership for Chen Duling at a high-end gym near his home, and woke her up to work out every morning.

After waiting for a while, Chen Duling, with her hair tied in a small ponytail, wearing a black Nike tracksuit, glasses, and a shoulder bag, came to the parking lot with a blank expression, looking left and right at where Wei Jun was.

Wei Jun honked the horn once to remind Chen Duling. She squinted and saw that it was a white Audi, with Wei Jun's sly smile inside.

Chen Duling strode over, opened the car door, and plopped in first. Once she was fully seated in the passenger seat, she closed the door. "Oh, you were driving a used car yesterday, and now you have a new one?"

Wei Jun chuckled, "We just got the license plates last night, and today I'm letting you sit in the passenger seat first. Aren't you happy?"

Ever since driving Xu Lu's Audi in Beijing, Wei Jun has fallen in love with this kind of car. So, as soon as he returned to Shanghai, he quickly bought one and registered it at his studio.

Chen Duling glanced at it: "Hehe, then I am truly honored."

"Put on your seatbelt first," Wei Jun reminded him.

Chen Duling closed her eyes, yawned, and reached back to fumble for the seatbelt, but after a while, she still couldn't find it.

Seeing her clumsy look, Wei Jun turned to the side and helped her put it on.

"What are you doing?" Chen Duling dodged to the side.

"Let me help you put on your seatbelt, you blockhead."

"oh."

After Wei Jun helped her put on her seatbelt, he took breakfast from the back seat and handed it to Chen Duling.

"Inside are boiled eggs, oat bars, blueberries, and coffee. You can eat first."

Chen Duling paused for a moment, then reached out and took it, looking at Wei Jun's face: "Wow, you're quite the gentleman, helping me with my seatbelt and bringing me breakfast. Is this how you treat all girls?"

"Stop talking nonsense and eat quickly. I'm going to give you a good beating later," Wei Jun said, starting the car. "You'd better not cry."

Chen Duling grinned, shook her head at Wei Jun, and said with a smug look, "Who's afraid of who? I'm tough as nails."

Wei Jun didn't answer, and silently drove the car. After a while, the car came to a steady stop in the central parking lot of the XH commercial district.

The two got out of the car and took the elevator straight to the gym.

Upon arrival, the two began warming up face-to-face.

Chen Duling's figure is not as good as Jing Tian's; it's just average. Apart from her pretty face, she can be described as rather ordinary.

After the warm-up, Wei Jun told her to start with aerobic exercise on the treadmill.

Chen Duling stepped onto the treadmill, and Wei Jun helped her adjust the speed before starting to run on the treadmill next to her.

She jogged slowly, occasionally raising her hand to adjust her glasses. After about ten minutes, she wanted to stop.

"Don't stop." Wei Jun left his treadmill and walked to her side.

"I'm tired," Chen Duling shouted as she ran.

"Hold on for five more minutes."

Wei Jun's original plan was to run for 30 minutes on an empty stomach, but according to his observation, this girl doesn't eat much at night and doesn't usually run on an empty stomach. He figured that if she suddenly did this, she would faint from low blood sugar.

"I can't go on anymore." Chen Duling was covered in sweat.

Wei Jun picked up a thin whip from the side, about 20 centimeters long, with a soft rope shaped like a flower at the end. He slapped it on his hand a few times and found that it didn't hurt when he hit someone, so he slapped the whip on Chen Duling's back.

"Ah," Chen Duling trembled all over, "Don't hit me, I'll run away."

"Didn't you say you were incredibly resilient?" Wei Jun stared coldly at her. "Three more minutes."

Three minutes later, Chen Duling came down and tried to kneel on the ground, but Wei Jun picked her up and helped her walk slowly.

After she rested for five minutes, Wei Jun led her through burpees, high knees, jumping jacks, and rope skipping...

During this time, Chen Duling's eyes were red, and she wanted to give up several times, but Wei Jun dispelled her thoughts with one sentence: "If you can't even stand this, acting is not suitable for you. You should leave the industry and go home."

Chen Duling is somewhat stubborn. Back then, her teacher said that girls couldn't do well in science subjects, so she immediately studied science and achieved good grades, all thanks to her strong will.

And so, she gritted her teeth and persevered.

Several hours later, after the workout, Wei Jun used a massage stick to help her relax her leg muscles.

As soon as she touched him, Chen Duling reached out and pressed down on Wei Jun's hand: "No, it hurts."

Wei Jun brushed her hand away and continued massaging: "It's okay if it hurts. If you don't relax today, you might not be able to get up tomorrow. Grit your teeth and hang in there."

Chen Duling clenched her teeth, her eyes red, and she tried hard to hold back her tears.

Wei Jun took Chen Duling to work out every day for a period of time, and they finally achieved their fitness goals. Filming for "Someday or One Day" began immediately.
