Chapter 576
Want to Eat White Rabbit?
……
……
"Honey, we're filming a kissing scene tomorrow."
After Lin Yufen finished speaking, she saw Da Mimi lying on the bed, listless, wearing a silk nightgown and lazily playing King of Glory. She was pleasantly surprised and felt like a completely different person.
The speed at which they change their expressions is even faster than Sichuan opera.
Before, Yang Mi was like a withered rose, curled up in the corner of the bed, her silk pajamas wrinkled and wrapped around her body, her long hair scattered on the pillow, her fingers mechanically swiping on the phone screen.
She's been holed up like this all day.
Ever since Gu Qing took leave to go to the capital, she has felt lifeless.
Without Gu Qing,
Da Mimi suddenly felt that this film crew had become very boring and dull, just like all the film crews she had worked on over the years—completely unoriginal, like rusty, rotten wood, making people feel disgusted.
No one nags her about the play, no one criticizes her harshly, and no one cares about her with genuine concern.
Until now,
Hearing what Lin Yufen said,
"How do we film it? How do we film it?"
Da Mimi didn't even care about her phone, hanging up and tossing it on the bed. Her fair and smooth legs strained as she bent over, revealing the sexy curves of her body.
The silk pajamas slid down her back, revealing a glimpse of her fair, slender waistline.
She hugged Lin Yufen, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, her peach blossom eyes shining brightly, like ripples on a deep pool, asking expectantly.
"Honey, can't you be a little more reserved?"
Lin Yufen brushed the hand off her waist and said with a smile.
"I feel like you're usually quite repressed, is it because you... uh..."
She paused, then realized that Da Mi Mi was wearing a "vacuum hat" on her head.
Although no one has said it outright, who in the industry doesn't know about that hat?
It's just that nobody mentions it.
"Haven't you won over Xiao Gu yet? It's been so long, how come there's been no progress at all? This isn't like you."
Lin Yu smoothly changed her tune to teasing, and didn't forget to raise her hand and pat Da Mimi's pert buttocks.
"Crack~"
The sound was crisp and clear, and the water rippled.
The texture was like patting freshly cooked rice cake, both bouncy and soft.
"Tsk, things really change after having a baby..."
Lin Yufen felt a slight sense of emotion.
"Director, I... I hadn't used my full strength yet."
A strange sensation came from her private parts, and Yang Mi let out a soft, sweet cry. She tilted her chin slightly and stubbornly said:
"If I really beckoned, what kind of man couldn't I win over? Let alone a little brother."
"Little brother? Little Gu is not little at all."
Lin Yufen said with a smile, his eyes narrowed into slits, his smile full of the "you know what I mean" of someone who's been there.
"Huh? Really?!"
Yang Mi's beautiful eyes lit up, a thought flashed through her mind, but her snow-white legs couldn't help but tighten slightly, "How...how much of that?"
"Why would I lie to you? Back when I was filming 'Love O2O'..."
Lin Yufen leaned closer, lowered her voice slightly, and shared the big scoop.
"Jing Tian? This girl is really lucky. She's acted in big productions her whole life without becoming famous, and then she just happened to meet Gu Qing... I never expected her to eat so well..."
A female director who is "as fierce as a tiger" and a woman who is "as fierce as a wolf"—the two women talk about topics that are incredibly unrestrained.
"Director, how do you plan to shoot this scene? How explicit are you planning to be?"
The longer they talked, the more excited Da Mimi became. Her fair skin felt hot, spreading from her cheeks to her neck, and from her neck to her collarbone.
Her voice became increasingly sweet and delicate, as if it were filled with moisture, and every word seemed to have been soaked in honey.
"I'm still planning it. What about you, Mimi? How much of a scale are you comfortable with? I'd like to have some ideas."
Lin Yufen touched her chin with a troubled expression, her fingers stroking her jaw back and forth.
"Director, she's still quite shy. The level of explicitness... at most it'll be like 'Lust, Caution.' I can't film anything more explicit."
Yang Mi spoke fluently without even blinking.
"Even if you wanted to go even further, I couldn't film it!"
Lin Yufen laughed and scolded after hearing this.
"Is it as explicit as 'Lust, Caution'? If it's really filmed, will the show even air?"
"Honey, you little rascal, you're not actually getting horny from hearing that, are you?"
"Director, I'm just curious and want to see it out of scientific curiosity."
Yang Mi spoke with a serious expression, looking just like a professor conducting academic research.
But then he burst out laughing, amused by his own words.
"Come on, even if you really wanted to film something that explicit, Xiao Gu might not be willing."
Lin Yufen dissuaded Da Mimi from her "evil" thoughts, her tone full of helplessness:
"He's usually so shy and he has to clear the set when filming a kissing scene, how could he possibly film such a daring scene with you? You can forget about it."
"Really? Is he that easily embarrassed? How could he dare to hug Zhao Xiaodao at such a big event as the Bazaar Gala?"
Yang Mi gave a light snort, her tone sarcastic, and shook her head with a tsk-tsk sound.
"Is this for true love, disregarding everything?"
My poor best friend, she actually went to visit the set like an idiot! Just like before, she got taken advantage of and still expects to pay the price.
"Didn't you sell it first?"
Lin Yufen's words made Da Mimi's pretty face freeze.
"Director, who did I betray? Don't talk nonsense if you don't know the truth!"
Enraged, she rolled to one side of the bed, propped her fair wrist up to support her cheek, and complained domineeringly, "If you keep doing this, I won't talk to you anymore!"
"Alright, alright, let's talk about Xiao Gu for a while first."
Lin Yufen chuckled and decided to call it a day while he was ahead.
"I'm planning to design a kissing scene with a touch of intimate and lingering affection. What do you think?"
"It's not very good. Just kissing is so boring. Can you go for something a little more explicit and give the audience some treats?"
Yang Mi had been looking forward to this scene for a long time.
She would be very disappointed if it were just a quick kiss and a photo.
"So how do you want to film it? Don't try to fob me off with things like 'Lust, Caution'."
Lin Yufen chose to listen to opinions.
She knew that although Da Mi Mi was a bit loose with her tongue, she was quick-witted and sometimes had really good ideas.
"Director, how about this?"
Yang Mi's beautiful eyes lit up slightly, and she excitedly rushed over, hugging Lin Yufen with great enthusiasm. She leaned close to Lin Yufen's ear and whispered a long string of words in a low voice.
"Huh? Will this work?"
Lin Yufen's expression was extremely strange, sometimes surprised, sometimes bewildered, and sometimes admiring and excited.
"Honey, you know so much more."
"But if we really film it like this, would Xiao Gu be able to accept it?"
Lin Yufen hesitated again.
"Don't worry, director, what can't my brother accept? I didn't say I was going to strip him naked. If I really coax him to the set and get him lying on the bed, what can't we film?"
Yang Mi hummed smugly and smiled sweetly.
Once Gu Qing is brought to the scene, he won't have a say in what will be filmed.
"Okay, I'll try it tomorrow."
Lin Yufen, having become engrossed in the conversation, left satisfied.
"A kissing scene is scheduled for tomorrow?"
Gu Qing returned to the hotel around 11:00 PM and received a message and notification from Lin Yu, along with an attached script.
"Does Director Yu Fen have some kind of perverse sense of humor?"
Having experienced filming "Love O2O" with Jing Tian, Gu Qing has developed a "resistance" to Lin Yufen's occasionally abstract approach.
But having been on set for a month and having developed an emotional connection with the character, Gu Qing didn't feel awkward or resistant to filming kissing scenes.
He had heard that many directors would even arrange for the male and female leads to film intense action scenes on the first day of filming.
Even in the entertainment industry,
It's understandable that two people meeting for the first time would feel embarrassed to have to film such explicit scenes right after meeting.
Lin Yufen is someone who can be considered morally upright.
In contrast to kissing scenes
Gu Qing glanced at it and then ignored it.
What he was more concerned about was the feedback he had given to his screenwriter not long ago.
"It's finally fixed. Ye Hua dared to admit that he was engaged and that he chose to escape in order to resist the pressure from his family. He did not deceive Su Su on their wedding night."
Gu Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
He simply couldn't believe that after he had corrected all the flaws that viewers had complained about in his previous work, "Three Lives Three Worlds," this drama wouldn't be even better.
His male lead will undoubtedly receive even more praise.
After quickly washing up and resting, Gu Qing slept soundly until dawn.
The morning sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, casting golden streaks on the bed sheets.
Gu Qing got up, washed up, warmed up her voice, exercised, and ate breakfast, enduring her fatigue and completing all the tasks in one go.
The wedding scene was set in the mountains and forests, so the crew naturally had to go out to film on location.
The destination was a bamboo forest, about a half-hour drive from the hotel.
Gu Qing was slightly taken aback when she got into the back seat of the car.
He first saw Da Mi Mi, who was fast asleep with her head tilted to one side, looking drowsy.
Her head rested against the car window, her long hair falling down and obscuring half her face, her breathing steady and long.
And Dilraba, who was resting her head on someone's shoulder with a bright smile, waved energetically: "Good morning, little brother!"
Good morning, Dilraba. Don't you have any scenes to film today?
Gu Qing hesitated for a moment before walking over and sitting down in the opposite chair. His gaze lingered on Da Mimi for a split second. "There's nothing important to film, so I took a day off. I heard you're filming a kissing scene with Sister Mimi today, how could I miss it?"
Dilraba was eager to try and blinked impatiently.
"Sister Dilraba, you have this hobby too?"
This reminded Gu Qing of Zhang Jingyi and Zhou Ye.
When he and Jing Tian were filming a kissing scene, the two girls insisted on watching, but they blushed and ran away halfway through the shoot.
Gu Qing suddenly felt a pang of nostalgia for her school days.
"Baba Bao, you can look all you want, but don't say anything out of line."
Dilraba's antics made Yang Mi slightly open her eyelashes.
Her peach blossom eyes were still sleepy, misty with tears. She looked at Gu Qing opposite her, smiled lightly, and said lazily:
"Otherwise, my brother will have an excuse to reshoot."
"hehe."
Gu Qing looked at her with a cold smile.
Yang Mi finished teasing him, and her lips curled up even higher.
She took a piece of fruit candy from her pocket and offered it to Gu Qing in her fair palm:
"This was specially prepared for you by your sister. Remember to eat it before filming."
"Liuliu Mei? Honey, are you alright?"
"Did you eat something sour while filming a kissing scene?"
Gu Qing took a look, her eyes widened slightly, and she questioned her existence.
"I just love sour food, otherwise why do you think I would be a spokesperson?"
Yang Miyu raised her hand but did not withdraw it, waiting for Gu Qing to return the gesture.
"And yours?"
"Uh... I wasn't prepared."
This was the first time Gu Qing had encountered such a situation.
He felt in his pocket and pulled out only a few White Rabbit milk candies that he always kept on hand, which he handed over:
"Will this work?"
"Ok?"
Yang Mi glanced at Naitang, then silently lowered her head as her view was blocked by his broad chest. She then looked up at Gu Qing with suspicion, but didn't say anything.
That silence was more unsettling than any words.
Gu Qing: "..."
Can I get it back now?
"White Rabbit... So, little brother, you like to eat White Rabbit... This brand is really good; I've been eating it since I was a child."
Yang Mi smiled radiantly, raised her eyebrows slightly, and accepted a piece of milk candy.
Her fingertips gently brushed against Gu Qing's palm; the touch was like a feather brushing against him, tingling and numb.
Especially when she pronounced the name "milk candy," her pronunciation was soft and charming, as if she was implying something.
"Honey, didn't you know? Your brother is the spokesperson for White Rabbit Creamy Candy. You can get a discount if you mention his name."
Dilraba was still oblivious to the undercurrent in the air.
She took the two remaining milk candies from Gu Qing's palm, happily opened them, and popped them into her mouth.
"I haven't had breakfast yet, so I'll have something to eat. By the way, little brother, have you finished the milk curds I gave you?"
"I'm...I'm done eating..."
The moment Gu Qing saw Da Mimi lower her head, she realized what was happening, but it was too late to pull her hand away.
"Then I'll send you some more when I have time."
Dilraba chewed on a milk candy and said happily, her voice muffled:
"I never expected you to like dairy products so much, little brother. I bet you were from my hometown in a past life."
"Sister Reba, well... I don't really like it that much."
Gu Qing wanted to prove her innocence, and her voice carried a hint of urgency.
"Yes, Baba Bao, your little brother doesn't eat just any dairy products. He... maybe he only likes White Rabbit candy."
Yang Mi smiled and winked at Gu Qing, her eyes filled with a hint of mischief. Her voice was soft and gentle, "Little brother, do you think what I said is right?"
Gu Qing: "..."
"Honey, are you alright? My little chubby brother is eating quite well, isn't he?"
Dilraba frowned.
"Stop, Sister Dilraba, please stop talking. I want to sleep for a while."
Gu Qing was almost speechless from listening.
What do you mean by "your milk curds"? Don't add any prefixes!
The conversation was getting weirder and weirder, and the car was practically speeding up.
at last,
The film crew drove for half an hour to reach the bamboo forest.
The bamboo forest was vast, with emerald green bamboo stalks piercing straight into the sky. The bamboo leaves rustled in the breeze, and sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground like scattered gold.
The crew members have arrived early and are setting up the set and testing the equipment.
The simple house, built of bamboo, was nestled deep in the bamboo forest. The roof was covered with dried bamboo leaves, and the walls were made of bamboo, allowing the wind and light to pass through.
Today's filming schedule was quite tight.
From the initial encounter to the wedding ceremony, and then to entering the bridal chamber, the filming should ideally be completed within one day.
Aside from the standalone scenes featuring the "little black snake," Su Su and Ye Hua's first encounter is when he deliberately gets injured and collapses in front of the bamboo house, where Su Su rescues him and carries him inside to treat his wounds and apply medicine.
Gu Qing changed into her costume.
It wasn't the luxurious black brocade robe from the previous work, but an ordinary blue and white cloth, coarse linen clothes, faded from washing.
His hair was casually tied up with a wooden hairpin, with a few stray strands falling in front of his forehead, making his face look even more handsome.
To fake the feeling of being injured, the makeup artist applied a thin layer of powder to Gu Qing's face, making her complexion look paler, and also painted her lips a light nude color, making her appear bloodless.
"Are you ready?"
Lin Yufen stood behind the monitor, holding a walkie-talkie.
Gu Qing nodded and lay down on the ground outside the bamboo house.
A thin layer of bamboo leaves covered the ground; they were prickly and cool.
He adjusted his posture to make himself look like he had collapsed from exhaustion after being injured.
"Action!"
After several conversations, they carried the person into the house.
"Do you...do you still have internal injuries?"
Yang Mi plays Su Su, who squats beside the "unconscious" Ye Hua, holding a bowl of freshly brewed medicine in her hand. She pretends to be flustered as she feeds him the medicine, suppressing her expectations and asking worriedly.
Here it comes! Finally, I can see this brat's physique in person.
Da Mimi was secretly overjoyed.
"I...I don't know."
Gu Qing lowered her eyes, her voice weak.
"Let me check you out first!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a pair of delicate hands appeared on Gu Qing's chest.
Da Mimi quickly "torn" her clothes, her movements as fast as if she were unpacking a package.
"His-"
Wow~ the little brother has such a great physique!
Dilraba watched intently in front of the monitor.
"Hey, Honey, pull it down a little further, let's see your abs!"
Dilraba was a little annoyed that her sister, Honey, wasn't up to par; she should at least have pulled her collar down a bit more.
"Keep your voice down."
Lin Yufen was both amused and exasperated.
Today's shoot was probably the happiest day for Yang Mi since she joined the crew.
We shot from morning till night, thoroughly enjoying both our eyes and hands. The shooting process went very smoothly, with almost no need for multiple takes.
It wasn't because her acting skills improved by leaps and bounds.
It's because she didn't need to act at all; the inner conflict of "wanting to touch but being too embarrassed to touch, and wanting to touch for a while longer" perfectly matched the psychology of the character Su Su.
Gu Qing lay on the bamboo bed, his clothes disheveled, his chest half-open, his expression shifting from bewilderment to helplessness, and from helplessness to resignation.
He knew it.
He knew this would happen.
……
Finally, as night fell, a candle suddenly lit up.
Several oil lamps were lit in the bamboo house, their flickering light casting two shadows on the bamboo wall, sometimes long, sometimes short, and the air was filled with the fragrance of bamboo.
Gu Qing sat on the edge of the bed, changed into his groom's attire, and ate the plum under Da Mimi's watchful gaze.
"This is really sour."
Gu Qing's handsome face scrunched up, his brows furrowed, and his lips pressed tightly together. Only after enduring the sourness did a faint sweet aftertaste emerge.
Yang Mi was overjoyed after seeing all of this.
She took the White Rabbit milk candy out of her pocket, unwrapped it, and gently stuffed the candy into her red lips, holding the rice paper.
The rich, creamy sweetness lingers on the lips and teeth.
She looked up, her gaze meeting Gu Qing's. She lightly licked her lips, melting the rice paper residue clinging to them.
"Little brother, you'd better take this seriously."
The candlelight flickered, and the bamboo shadows swayed.
The wedding begins.
