Luo Yu once felt that he was an old but forcibly fortified castle, but Gu Xiaowei easily brought gentle wind and moist rain for him with just one glance. The grass seeds in the deserted gaps desperately wanted to be reborn, as if only this person kept looking, his old castle would not be destroyed.

“The look in your eyes is great now. There are clearly doubts, questioning, and hope, but it is all carefully suppressed, not wanting to be discovered by me.” Gu Xiaowei said.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Luo Yu slowly curled his fingers, trying to retain the emotions at this moment. He lowered his eyes and adjusted his sleeves, stood up slowly, and gently raised his chin at Gu Xiaowei who was sitting, “Let’s go, Ah Ye.”

Gu Xiaowei’s lips curved upwards and he followed Luo Yu, “Okay, boss.”

Director Lin, who was drinking wolfberry and chrysanthemum tea, was a little surprised: “So soon? You’ve finished discussing already?”

“Yeah.” Gu Xiaowei said.

The two got into the prop car again.

At the sound of the clapperboard, the cameraman pushed for a close-up. Bai Ying, played by Luo Yu, turned his head and glanced at Yan Ye.

Calm but meaningful.

The look seemed to be saying, I know you are more dangerous than Ah Lan, let me see if you can break a hole in the sky.

Or like saying, if you want to take advantage of me, you’d better not let me find out in this lifetime.

The camera team leader looked at Luo Yu’s profile and felt a slight jump in his heart.

He had met many actors and taken countless close-ups of their eyes, but only this time he felt that the person in front of his camera seemed to be looking straight into his heart.

No matter how heartless this villain was, at this moment he wanted to pull him up before he fell into the abyss.

“Okay.” Lin Yue nodded in front of the screen. This was considered a pass.

“Brother Luo’s acting skills are as good as ever.” At some point, the female lead Xie Chang came to the screen and sat on the stool with her chin propped on one hand. She seemed to have been watching for a long time, “While this drama hasn’t aired yet, I want to take advantage of this opportunity to be his head fan.” 

Lin Yue coughed slightly, “Xiao Gu is no longer attractive now?”

“He is. A bad boy who is not only wild but also reliable. Originally this should all belong to me, but whenever Yan Ye and Bai Ying are together, I feel that they… separated they are kings, but together they are unmatched. I, the female lead, have ended up becoming so superfluous.” Xie Chang complained half-jokingly.

The staff nearby laughed.

“And every time Brother Gu calls him ‘boss,’ I go all gooey inside.” Xie Chang said to Director Lin in a coquettish manner, “Director Lin, when can I play Brother Gu’s boss?”

“Soon, soon, when Bai Ying’s scenes are finished, you will be the boss.”

Probably because the filming went better than expected, and Lin Yue was in a good mood, he also began joking with Xie Chang.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, then it will really become the boss is simply running water while Brother Gu is as strong as iron.” Xie Chang said with a laugh.

Today’s temperature was warmer than the weather forecast reported, but it would cool down next week.

Lin Yue discussed with the crew and decided to move forward a night scene from next week that required soaking in water.

The staff came to Luo Yu to confirm, “Xiao Luo, can you swim? The water depth will almost reach your chest. Depending on the needs of the shooting, it may even be higher than your head.”

Luo Yu nodded and made an OK gesture and said, “I can swim, don’t worry.”

“We’ll probably spend an hour or two preparing. Do you want to do some warm-up activities first?”

“Okay, thank you for reminding me.”

This was a night scene. Luo Yu opened the script and reviewed it carefully: the scene was of Bai Ying, played by Luo Yu, ending up being used by his father Bai Zhongxing as bait. However, after Bai Zhongxing eradicated the dissidents, he completely ignored Bai Ying who was retaliated against by an enemy. Bai Ying was thrown into the sewer, and because of the heavy rain all night, the water became deeper and deeper.

While he was struggling in the water, Yan Ye found him, but he didn’t bring any dragging rope. Although he called people to come rescue him, he didn’t know when they would arrive. If he went to look for a rope now, Bai Ying would drown before he even came back.

So Yan Ye jumped down decisively. He and Bai Ying leaned back to back, their arms hooked, borrowing each other’s strength to push themselves up the wall of the sewer and climb out.

This was also the beginning of Bai Ying’s complete trust in Yan Ye, confiding to him his true birth background and the conflict that could never be compromised between him and the real villain of the show, Bai Zhongxing.

Luo Yu put down the script and jogged around while listening to the sound of water being poured into the dry sewer.

This sewer was a scene that the crew had built in advance for filming this drama. It was originally not going to be put into use until next week, but Lin Yue’s thinking was correct.

It was mid-October now, and the night temperature could still remain above fifteen degrees, but in another week the temperature would drop sharply, and the night temperature may drop below ten degrees.

Of course, it was better to shoot this scene when it was warmer than to wait until the temperature was lower. If the actors got a cold due to soaking in cold water, it would easily delay the progress.

Gu Xiaowei said to Xiao Qin who was following him: “Use the thermos container to buy some hot ginger soup and prepare a few more blankets.”

“Brother Gu, you have even filmed scenes of soaking in cold water in the winter, why are you suddenly getting cold feet today?” Xiao Qin asked with a smile.

“I tell you to go, you go.”

After saying that, Gu Xiaowei walked quickly in the direction of Luo Yu, and then started jogging after him.

The two handsome guys jogging instantly became a unique sight for the crew. If it weren’t for the crew’s rules that did not allow taking photos of the actors and the set, the photo of Luo Yu and Gu Xiaowei warming up and jogging side by side would have become a hot search again.

After jogging for almost twenty minutes, the staff shouted: “Xiao Luo, come over and test the depth of the water!”

“Okay, I’m coming right now!”

As soon as Luo Yu passed by, Gu Xiaowei said to the staff, “It’s better for me to go down and give it a try. If the water level rises, he will choke. I’m a little taller than Luo Yu.”

Luo Yu quickly shook his head, “I’ll do it, I’ll do it. You’re not much taller than me, are you? I will be in the water at the beginning of the scene, and you will only jump in later! If you get wet, you have to change your clothes!”

What Luo Yu said was reasonable. Gu Xiaowei frowned and could only stand aside and watch Luo Yu take the ladder into the water.

The water was just deep enough to reach his chest.

Seeing the staff adding more water, Gu Xiaowei said, “It’s just right at this level, because we still have to act out the scene where the water gradually covers his neck. And once I go down, the water level will be higher.”

The staff felt that Gu Xiaowei’s considerations were reasonable and finally stopped filling the water.

“Someone please pass me the script and I’ll go over the lines one last time!” Luo Yu stretched out his hand and shouted upward.

Only then did he feel that it was a bit troublesome not having an assistant by his side.

In his previous life, Luo Yu had nearly ten years of experience in stage acting. Stage acting was different from filming. Stage actors had to memorize their lines from beginning to end and sometimes even had to remember their opponents’ lines. But filming a TV drama or movie, actors had a chance to do the scene over again.

So Luo Yu’s script memorization skills were top-notch now, but he was just not sure if Screenwriter Hua would change anything on the spot.

“You can use my script.”

Gu Xiaowei stood on the edge, stretched out his arm and handed the script to Luo Yu.

Against the light, the lines of Gu Xiaowei’s arm were clear and strong, and the elegance of his wrist attracted Luo Yu to look up and admire it.

“I got it! Thank you!”

Luo Yu was in the water and could only raise his hands to take the script. When he turned to this scene, he was stunned because there were a lot of lines drawn on it and a lot of notes made, including underlines, triangles, and exclamation marks. Luo Yu had worked with Gu Xiaowei in his previous life and knew to some extent the meaning of the symbols in his notes.

For example, the exclamation mark meant to pay attention to safety.

And he found that there were exclamation marks after almost every one of his lines, which meant that when he said his lines in the water, Gu Xiaowei would always pay attention to his safety.

Warmth bloomed in his heart.

Compared to those empty promises and pie-in-the-sky plans for a better future, Gu Xiaowei was a true activist.

Of the two of them one was in the water, the other on the surface. After reviewing the lines together several times like this, Gu Xiaowei said: “Director, we’re ready, let’s start!”

Luo Yu knew that he didn’t want him to soak in the water for too long.

Whether it was before or after his rebirth, this was the first time that someone regarded him as so important.

The sound of the clapperboard was heard.

Luo Yu struggled in the water, sometimes sinking, sometimes raising his head and saying a few words with difficulty.

“Yan Ye——I… if I die… for me… kill that bastard Bai Zhongxing…”

There was no fear of death on Luo Yu’s face, but instead the ruthlessness of being in a desperate situation.

People watching the screen could feel the aura he exuded: as long as he didn’t die, even his breathing would be full of pride and arrogance.

Gu Xiaowei’s Yan Ye finally put away all his laziness and carelessness. At this moment, his nerves were tense. He stretched out his arms at the mouth of the sewer, but there was still some distance between him and Bai Ying in the water.

When Luo Yu raised his head from the water again and looked at Gu Xiaowei, the two of them immediately entered their characters together.

They were Bai Ying and Yan Ye.

“Splash!” The water was still pouring in, and Bai Ying’s struggle became increasingly weak.

Yan Ye rummaged around and even ran out but couldn’t find anything useful. He called his subordinates and said, “Listen to me——if you can’t f**king show up right away! Then just wait for me to kill you!”

He was always joking and laughing in front of his subordinates as if he didn’t care about anything, but this time he threw down harsh words.

When he returned to the sewer entrance and found that Bai Ying had not appeared again, he jumped in without hesitation.

At this time, the underwater camera captured the scene of Bai Ying with his eyes closed, and his shoulder-length hair spread out in the water, as if life was passing by.

The moment Yan Ye sank into the water and saw Bai Ying, he seemed to be shaken by something.

Fragile, like a phantom that shattered at the touch.

According to the script, Yan Ye should have slapped Bai Ying on the cheek hard to wake him up.

But at this moment, Yan Ye grabbed Bai Ying’s waist and lifted him up.

Bai Ying’s upper body suddenly broke out of the water, as if breaking through the shackles and emerging from the cocoon.

Lin Yue opened his eyes wide as he looked at this scene. The strong visual impact made him lean forward subconsciously.

“Hai hai…”

Bai Ying matched Yan Ye’s act. He was not at a loss because it was different from the script. Instead, he stretched out his hands to touch the mouth of the well, but the height was far from enough.

The next second, Yan Ye, who was sinking under the water, put Bai Ying on his shoulders, and used force again to push Bai Ying up to the surface of the water.

After being submerged, there was air. Even if he fell again, someone would still send him to a higher place from the bottom of the water.

The underwater camera captured the obsessiveness on Yan Ye’s face, his persistence in pushing the other in the water to the surface even if he died.

Bai Ying fell into the water again.

But he was much calmer than when he was alone in the water.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

He patted Yan Ye, stretched out his hands and pointed upward, meaning: We will go up together.

Bai Ying’s hair under the water undulated like the petals of a mandala, reminiscent of a water sprite.

It was he who made Yan Ye fall, and it was he who wanted Yan Ye to climb up.
