CHAPTER 641: CHAPTER 641: DINNER INVITATION

"Captain, are you distracted?"

Ye Xian curiously waved her hand in front of him, and it was only then that Jiang Wanze snapped back to reality. He handed the script to Xiao Yang without daring to look at her again and turned to walk toward his own army.

"Three, two, one, action!"

In front of Tumi City, an army of thirty thousand pressed forward. The Imperial Army stood in silent confrontation with the Hengshan Army. As the north wind whistled, the air pressure on the battlefield was extremely low. Shen Jinyou slowly rode his horse to the front of the army, lifting his gaze slightly. The moment he saw Gu Tianlin, an unequaled ruthlessness and chilling intent to kill leaked from his eyes.

After both sides had recited their lines, Shen Jinyou kicked his horse into motion, holding his long sword as he lunged at Gu Tianlin.

The wind and sand were heavy on the battlefield, blowing his long, black hair that was tied up high, creating a stark contrast against his exceedingly pale skin. Compared to the enemy leader, he looked more like a Heavenly God descended to the mortal realm; his beauty was incomparable, his grace unparalleled. Even the battle robe fluttering in the cold wind carried an air of heart-stirring significance.

Jiang Wanze watched her, forgetting for a moment that they were acting, forgetting she was Shen Jinyou, even forgetting the lines he knew by heart. His eyes were filled entirely with her.

There was nothing in his ears except the thunderous beating of his heart, louder than war drums.

Ye Xian brandishing her long sword, arrived before him, seeing that he was still sitting on his horse, steadfastly staring at her, "????"

"Cut!"

At the same time, Zeng Minghui also called cut.

"What’s wrong with Tianlin? Why is there no reaction?"

Ye Xian sheathed her sword, called out "Captain!", and Jiang Wanze then slowly asked her, "What happened?"

Everyone on the set was looking at him.

Seeing that his state was obviously off, Zeng Minghui called a halt, "This scene is very important. You must focus with all your might. Wanze, if you’re not in the right state, come down and adjust."

Xiao Yang ran over with water from the resting area, "Brother Ze, what’s wrong?"

"It’s nothing, just... distracted."

Jiang Wanze’s hand supporting his forehead lowered, a flash of annoyance in his eyes.

This was the first time he had ever been distracted while filming, and it was in front of his male co-star.

Ye Xian, noticing him holding his forehead, stepped forward and asked, "Captain, are you feeling unwell?"

"No, I’ll be fine after I adjust a bit."

Jiang Wanze avoided her gaze and took the water from Xiao Yang’s hand.

Ye Xian uttered an "Oh," and turned to leave.

"Ye Xian!"

He suddenly called out to her.

She turned her head, "?"

"Can we have lunch together at noon?"

Asking her out for a meal at this time?

Was there something he wanted to talk to her about, or was he also encountering a difficulty with the acting and needed to ask for her advice?

Ye Xian remembered he had been trying to ask her out for a meal before, but she had always declined. This time, she nodded, "Okay."

Feisi Western Restaurant.

Inside the private room, Jiang Wanze opened his phone to check the time. As he looked, his hand unconsciously flipped to the first photo in the album.

This photo was taken unintentionally when he was taking a selfie in the makeup room; it captured Ye Xian playing a game behind him with a faint smile. He had saved it on a whim.

Since when had he started to care about Ye Xian so much?

Just six months ago, he had even plotted to drug Ye Xian, hoping to trap him in a compromising situation.

He remembered feeling extreme disgust towards Ye Xian then, wishing he would just die.

But since then, things had changed. His perspective on Ye Xian had shifted, slowly morphing from appreciation to wanting to be friends, and now the unfamiliar feelings surged like a flood, beyond his control.

At first, he thought it was just a curiosity towards someone who had undergone a massive change in a short period, similar to how Cary and Lin Yan had also warmed up to Ye Xian. But now, it seemed to be becoming something different.
