Chapter 29
Mr. Jiang came to pick me up
Chi Yuan was initially worried that Lin Yue would cause him trouble, but just as Tian Tian said, although Lin Yue had a bad temper, he was quite professional and didn't deliberately make things difficult for him during filming. In addition, since the two were playing rivals in love, there was no need to feign affection to build rapport, and filming went very smoothly.
Ji Won's role was originally small, and filming only lasted a month. The final scene was when Ji Won, playing the third male lead, fought against six opponents to save the female lead, Tian Tian. He was stabbed in the abdomen but still insisted on driving his motorcycle to take the female lead to safety. He eventually died from blood loss.
On the streets late at night, the whole city was asleep, and the blood-covered boy was about to fall asleep as well.
The female lead, Tian Tian, held the boy tightly in her arms, urging him not to fall asleep.
"Don't sleep, don't sleep, the ambulance is coming soon, just hang in there, just hang in there."
The girl's eyes were red from crying, and she could barely see the boy's face. Yet she dared not let go to wipe away her tears because the boy in her arms was too cold.
The boy seemed to already know his fate. Although it was early autumn, his body felt as cold as winter, but the girl's embrace was still so warm.
"Don't cry~~ I won't bully you anymore." He liked this girl, so he always teased her, wanting to see her face turn red with anger.
But he didn't like her crying.
"If you bully me again, I won't tell the teacher, okay? Hang in there, the doctor, the doctor will be here soon."
The boy struggled to raise his hand and wipe away the girl's tears, but the blood on his hand only made her face dirtier.
"I'm sorry..." The boy's voice weakened, but it was filled with tenderness. "I..."
He wanted to say one last thing to the girl; he wanted to tell her he loved her. But... he couldn't be with her anymore.
I want to see you smile.
I'm laughing, I'm laughing right now.
As the girl smiled, the boy closed his eyes completely.
"CUT!"
Congratulations to Chi Yuan on wrapping up filming.
The crew members immediately gathered around, and some presented flowers and red envelopes.
"There's only 100 yuan in the red envelope, not much, just for good luck."
"Thank you, director." Covered in blood, Chi Yuan got up from the ground, while Tian Tian, still clinging to his clothes and crying, was still being cowardly.
The director found it somewhat amusing: "Sweetie seems genuinely heartbroken."
Sweetie laughed at his words and said, "Director, what do you mean by that? Does it mean my previous acting was all fake?"
"No, no, I mean, your acting has improved."
"That's more like it." Sweetie was finally satisfied.
The staff around them also burst out laughing.
Sweetie turned to look at Chi Yuan, whose face was still covered in blood. The image of the boy's dying gaze still lingered in her mind: "Although the female lead in the drama didn't choose you, if it were me, I would definitely choose you. You're much better than the male lead."
Hearing this from a distance, Lin Yue's face darkened, but at this moment everyone's attention was on Chi Yuan, and no one noticed him.
The director also said, "Since you two admire each other so much, how about I let you two star in a movie together when the opportunity arises?"
"Okay. Director, you have to keep your word," Sweetie said immediately.
Chi Yuan was somewhat confused: "The male lead? Me?"
Is he capable of playing the male lead?
Seeing his silly look, Tian Tian laughed and said, "You're not stupid. The director saying that proves that your character will definitely be a hit after the show airs. When the director asks you to play the male lead, you might not even have the time."
Chi Yuan hurriedly asked, "How could this be?"
The director has seen many newcomers. Chi Yuan is good-looking, has a good temper, and good acting skills. He also has Tianyu Entertainment behind him and is a newcomer brought by Li Weiran. It's only a matter of time before he becomes popular.
Hearing this, he half-jokingly went along with Tian Tian's words, saying, "Whether Chi Yuan becomes famous or not in the future, you promised to play the male lead for me, so you can't refuse when I ask you to in the future."
Chi Yuan dared not refuse, and repeatedly assured him, "I don't know how to reply to you saying that. I will definitely come whenever you need me in the future."
"Okay, that's enough."
Seeing the harmonious scene around them, Lin Yue was so angry that he almost tore the clothes in his hand to shreds.
It was quite late when the scene was finished, and Chi Won planned to remove her makeup and go home.
Because she planned to go home to shower, Chi Yuan simply dried herself off, changed her clothes, and came out. As she came out, she ran into Lin Yue, the male lead, who had already changed into his costume and was getting ready to go to filming.
During the month the two spent together, Lin Yue glared at him in various ways but never spoke to him, so Chi Yuan pretended not to see him.
Just as he was about to leave as usual, he heard Lin Yue's words in that instant.
"Don't be so smug, you'll be abandoned sooner or later."
Chi Yuan suddenly turned around and met Lin Yue's provocative gaze.
Having learned his lesson, Chi Yuan knew Lin Yue might be recording, but there were still some things he wanted to say. So he stepped forward, grabbed Lin Yue by the collar, and before the other could react, dragged him in front of him, whispering in his ear in a voice only the two of them could hear: "At least, right now it's you who's being abandoned, not me."
Lin Yue's face instantly darkened.
Chi Yuan didn't even look at him, let go of him, and turned to leave.
Lin Yue roared angrily from behind, "Let's see how long you can be so smug!"
Chi Yuan didn't look back, and walked out with a strong sense of determination.
Chi Yuan walked wildly on the main road for half an hour before slowing down.
Then, feeling somewhat frustrated, I sat down on the bus stop platform, scratching my head in frustration.
Lin Yue's words still affected him. He knew that Mr. Jiang would abandon him sooner or later, and he was mentally prepared for it. But even though he was mentally prepared, he still felt uncomfortable whenever he thought about it.
"What's with the fuss? Didn't you choose this yourself?"
Chi Yuan knew he was being dramatic, and he tried hard not to be dramatic or sad. "You chose to maintain this kind of relationship with Jiang Haochen. Since you made that choice, don't act like this."
Kexin is something he can't control even if he wants to.
"Alright, compose yourself, go home, take a shower, get a good night's sleep, and go see Mr. Jiang tomorrow."
During the month of filming, Jiang Haochen never asked him to provide any services. While this made filming go smoothly, it also proved that Mr. Jiang didn't really need him.
One of the dating tips Huang Kai summarized for him was to try to keep his sugar daddy's affections. This was actually quite difficult, but trying was better than doing nothing.
He touched the backpack on his back, which contained his high school uniform that he had borrowed from the film crew. He had asked for it, and the director had given it to him.
Mr. Jiang would probably want to put it on in front of him, and then...
"Beep beep!"
The sudden honking made Chi Yuan subconsciously look up, and he saw a tall figure getting out of a familiar car.
"Mr. Jiang...?"
