CHAPTER 959: CHAPTER 103: HAND ME THE SCRIPT AND LET ME TAKE A LOOK

Chapter 103

Yan Yuan decisively withdrew her hand from Bai Chenxi’s, glaring coldly at Su Meili, "Get lost, I don’t want to hear you speak."

"Fine, I’ll leave now. Going to check if the barbecue is ready," Su Meili laughed cheerfully and sat down in front of Song Yuwan.

She not only blocked the director’s view but also bullied Song Yuwan even more arrogantly.

Even the director couldn’t stand it and had to lower his head to help Song Yuwan with the barbecue.

Su Meili was like a proud princess, constantly giving orders on the side.

The director and Song Yuwan were too busy to care what Bai Chenxi and Yan Yuan were up to.

Because of this, Su Meili added more dishes.

Which infuriated Song Yuwan and the director.

They secretly vowed that during future filming, Su Meili and Yan Yuan would surely get what’s coming to them.

Bai Chenxi and Yan Yuan walked toward a small path in the distance.

On the way, Yan Yuan walked with her head down in silence.

At this moment, she just wanted some quiet time to herself.

She didn’t want to walk with Bai Chenxi.

Bai Chenxi followed her, watching her listless demeanor, couldn’t help but ask, "Yueyue, what’s wrong?"

"Nothing’s wrong, I just don’t want to talk to you," Yan Yuan said angrily.

"Those snacks were for you. It’s just that I don’t know where you live, so I was planning to deliver them personally when I had time," Bai Chenxi explained.

Yan Yuan turned to glare at him, seriously questioning, "Really?"

"Of course, did you really think they were for Song Yuwan?" Bai Chenxi responded using Su Meili’s words.

"I thought you gave them to Su Meili," Yan Yuan snorted coldly. Anyway, her things are absolutely not to be taken by others.

Bai Chenxi couldn’t help but laugh, "Were you jealous just now?"

Yan Yuan snorted again, "I wasn’t. It’s just my things must be mine, no one else can touch them."

Bai Chenxi looked at her, his eyes gradually showing a smile. Those shallow eyes became even more mysterious under the moonlight.

Standing at the mountaintop, he even had an immortal spirit qi that mortals lack, as if he was about to ride the wind and return any second.

Yan Yuan was stunned for a moment.

She suddenly thought of the conversation she overheard her parents having that day.

She closed her eyes and calmed herself, using her six senses to feel Bai Chenxi’s aura.

Gradually, she started to feel a familiar presence in Bai Chenxi.

Could it be... the soul from the Heavenly Lantern?

She was taken aback, opened her eyes, and found herself meeting Bai Chenxi’s gaze.

"Bai Chenxi!" Yan Yuan exclaimed, grabbing his hand excitedly.

She was overjoyed at this moment.

It’s really him, he is the soul from the Heavenly Lantern.

After searching high and low, she found him with no effort at all!

It turned out, he was right by her side all along.

Bai Chenxi had no idea where Yan Yuan’s sudden joy came from.

He looked at her, bewildered, "What’s wrong?"

Yan Yuan almost blurted out in her happiness, asking him to marry her.

But as she thought carefully, she knew she couldn’t act rashly.

Though Bai Chenxi was indeed the soul from the Heavenly Lantern, he needed to reincarnate.

If she were to marry him too soon, she would end up spending many years waiting alone.

In mortal terms, it was equivalent to being a widow.

She couldn’t be that foolish.

Only after he resumes his rightful place and seeks her marriage at the temple could she marry him.

Thinking this, Yan Yuan’s spirits lifted considerably.

As long as he wasn’t just an ordinary mortal, they could be together for a very long time.

Bai Chenxi was naturally unaware of Yan Yuan’s thoughts, seeing her grab his hand in excitement.

He looked confused as he asked once again, "What’s wrong with you? You suddenly look so serious, then you’re smiling?"

"It’s nothing, I’m just happy. You brought me snacks, I’ll thank you properly for that," Yan Yuan said and then swiftly kissed Bai Chenxi on the cheek.

Bai Chenxi was left speechless.

As expected of Yan Yuan, when it came to food, she would sacrifice anything.

Bai Chenxi reached out, hugging her tightly, "Tell me if you want to eat anything. I can buy anything for you."

Yan Yuan immediately nodded, leaning her head on his chest and listening to the sound of his steady heartbeat, feeling the weight on her heart lift away.

Now, she could fling her worries away and just enjoy being in a relationship.

"Bai Chenxi, let’s not announce our relationship just yet. My career is still climbing, I’m a newbie, and I don’t want to fade into obscurity before I even begin," Yan Yuan instructed.

Bai Chenxi naturally understood, but when he thought about it, he felt uneasy.

His girlfriend was right in front of him, yet he had to pretend as if nothing was amiss.

"Yueyue, why don’t you come sleep with me tonight?" Bai Chenxi suggested.

Yan Yuan quickly shook her head and said, "No!"

The hotel is bustling and full of gossip right now.

If someone were to find out and say there’s something inappropriate between her and him, that would be disastrous.

"Then I’ll come find you!" Bai Chenxi said earnestly.

Yan Yuan shook her head again. "Alright, let’s keep things normal. You sleep in your room, I sleep in mine, just don’t open the door for strangers at night."

Bai Chenxi was puzzled, "What do you mean by opening the door for strangers?"

"Wouldn’t you react if Song Yuwan threw herself at you?" Yan Yuan asked with a frosty expression.

Bai Chenxi immediately caught on, his expression serious, "Do you think I’m someone with no taste?"

Yan Yuan gave him a once-over and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Bai Chenxi indeed wasn’t someone with no taste.

On the contrary, he has his own opinions and is very committed when it comes to relationships.

The two held hands, having fun outside for a while before heading back together.

By then, the barbecue ordered by Su Meili was ready.

Song Yuwan’s tears flowed from being overshadowed.

The director felt like he was almost smoked into barbecue himself.

Bai Chenxi only drank a glass of iced cola and hardly ate anything.

Su Meili also didn’t dare eat much.

Song Yuwan, keen on maintaining her figure, didn’t dare eat anything at all.

This left Yan Yuan to single-handedly take care of everything.

When night fell, Song Yuwan felt utterly exhausted.

Sitting beside Yan Yuan, Su Meili laughed and asked, "Are you two dating?"

Yan Yuan thought it wouldn’t matter if Su Meili knew. "If you dare to spread it around, see if I won’t deal with you."

Su Meili realized Yan Yuan had admitted it.

She rolled her eyes, feeling she completely lost her chance.

"Although your look can make people jealous, I still wish you well, and rest assured I won’t blabber." Su Meili said this with a very serious expression.

At night, Su Meili acted as usual, heading straight to Yan Yuan’s room to sleep.

In truth, she just hated having the director next door, and even more, Song Yuwan.

In Yan Yuan’s room, she slept soundly.

The next day, Bai Chenxi personally went to the crew to check the filming progress.

Coincidentally, the director was set to film Yan Yuan and Mu Chiheng’s kissing scene.

While filming, Yan Yuan tried her best to stay in character and feel what it’s like to be in love.

However, the director kept calling cut before they even got to the kissing part, having stopped her over a dozen times.

No matter how she performed, the director was dissatisfied.

Bai Chenxi stood at the side, looking at the director, fiercely saying, "What’s going on?"

The director immediately explained, "Yan Yuan is not getting the right feel!"

"Then show her what kind of feel you need," Bai Chenxi frowned and said. He might not know much about TV dramas, but from what he saw, Yan Yuan’s performance paired with the music and editing was perfect.

Isn’t this obviously making things difficult?

The director felt extremely awkward, turned around to watch the replay, and pretended to apologize, "I reviewed it just now, and with some editing, it’s totally fine. I was just striving for perfection earlier!"

Bai Chenxi turned to him and said, "Are you striving for perfection or intentionally making things difficult? Although she is new, the drama is supporting her. If there’s anything lacking, give more guidance, but don’t mix personal grudges."

The director immediately understood Bai Chenxi’s meaning.

Yan Yuan is the new talent that Fengying is promoting, and no one can bully her.

While it seemed like a fair statement, anyone observant would notice he was protecting Yan Yuan.

The director even noticed last night that Bai Chenxi and Yan Yuan didn’t have a simple relationship, and today it was clear they had an undisclosed connection.

"Alright, prepare for the kissing scene now!" the director deliberately raised his voice.

He discreetly observed Bai Chenxi’s reaction, who was visibly colder than before.

"Get the script over here for me to see!" Bai Chenxi loudly ordered.

The director didn’t dare to say more and handed him the script directly.

Bai Chenxi glanced over and saw that the next scene was indeed Yan Yuan’s kissing scene.

Yan Yuan already knew she couldn’t avoid this scene and had given herself a pep talk earlier.

She was a bit scared of this scene.

If done well, it would be a one-take; if not, it might need numerous retakes.

Especially with Bai Chenxi present, not to mention just yesterday she became his girlfriend.

If she continues to film the kissing scene, who knows if he would get mad.

However, she is a newcomer and has no say whatsoever.

When the director said it was time for the kissing scene, she hesitated a bit.

After looking at the script, Bai Chenxi turned to the director and said, "Adding or deleting a scene like this is not a problem, right?"

The director forced a couple of laughs, "That needs to be discussed with the screenwriter."
