Ou Luo Xi didn’t have many expressions. He looked at Ning Qing and spoke, “Alright, a kissing scene then.”
He spoke and there was a flash in Ning Qing’s eyes. There was a designated dub for the movies and drama that he starred in and she didn’t know Ou Luo Xi’s voice was like this.
His voice was gentle.
And, kissing… kissing scene?
Ning Qing nearly choked on her own saliva. D*mn, do we have to go all the way right at the beginning?
She suspected the boy wanted to take revenge on her gaze earlier. Petty-minded.
“Okay,” Director w.a.n.g agreed, “Ning Qing, do you have any problem?”
Ning Qing thought of Lu Shaoming. They were married and she wondered if he would mind if she had a kissing scene?
It seemed that she had to talk to him after he returned.
Ning Qing shook her head and stood straight. “No problem at all.”
…
Then, Ning Yao was like a cat on a hot tin roof. How does Ning Qing qualify?
Why did she receive recognition by Director w.a.n.g? Why did Ou Luo Xi, who normally pushes people aside, not forsake her but wanted to try a kissing scene with her?
Why does fate care for her all the time?
“Junxi, let’s go,” Ning Yao shook Xu Junxi’s shoulders.
Xu Junxi fixed his gaze on Ning Qing and Ou Luo Xi who walked next to one another. He replied, “As we’re already here, let’s see how capable she is,” He sat on the rattan chair that the crew members brought for him.
Ning Yao saw that he wasn’t willing to leave; she had no choice but to sit next to him.
…
Ning Qing was extremely focused as she read the script. Regarding the pair of man and woman who stayed to watch, she only had one comment, busybodies.
The scene was mainly portraying how Meng Yao, who was seventeen, got to know a righteous officer by chance and they had their first kiss.
Director w.a.n.g shouted “Action!” and the screen test began.
Ou Luo Xi, who was cold to her earlier, turned into a gentleman with tender feelings. The pair of black leather boots that he was wearing gave out awe-inspiring righteousness. He moved forward and lifted the corners of his mouth, “Miss Mong Yao, from the first time I saw you, I fell in love with you. Please be with me.”
Ning Qing complimented Ou Luo Xi’s acting ability in silence. She also thought that the smiling Ou Luo Xi was even prettier.
She turned around and looked down. There was a young girl’s frail and bashfulness across her face, “Who wants to be with you? I’m only seventeen this year.”
Then, Ou Luo Xi walked forward and extended both his hands to cup Ning Qing’s face. He suddenly lowered his face.
Both their lips touched and the cameraman zoomed in. Ning Qing punched Ou Luo Xi’s shoulders and she mumbled. She performed the bashfulness and panic of a young girl’s kiss thoroughly.
Director w.a.n.g nodded in satisfaction and he raised his hand to shout “cut”.
But Ning Qing felt a sharp pain on her lips. Ou Luo Xi bit her.
Ning Qing’s eyes shot open, this boy didn’t act according to the script!
She pushed Ou Luo Xi and he fell back. She walked forward as her face blushed in embarra.s.sment. She slapped him, “You, shameless!”
“Cut!” Director w.a.n.g shouted and laughed, “Ning Qing, you adjusted according to changing circ.u.mstances. Very well. You have yet to start working together but you are so well-coordinated.”
Director w.a.n.g was referring to the slap earlier. She didn’t really slap him but the two of them took advantage of positioning. When she slapped, Ou Luo Xi leaned his head sideways.
Ning Qing sighed a breath a relief after she received Director w.a.n.g’s recognition. She looked at Ou Luo Xi in suspicion. His lips were cold when they kissed. Even when he bit her, there was no manner of violation or humiliation.
She suspected that he bit her to help her. Ou Luo Xi seemed to be helping her to receive recognition from Director w.a.n.g.
Ning Qing wanted to talk to Ou Luo Xi but he didn’t bother to look at her before he walked to his a.s.sistant. He took over the grey and white striped fringed scarf to wear it around his neck. He then said faintly, “That’s it, I’m leaving.”
He then walked out surrounded by a bunch of people.
Ning Qing watched as the man left. She was thankful yet she found it funny. As she reined back her sight, she met a pair of cold-looking eyes that belonged to Xu Junxi.
She didn’t know what she did wrong. Xu Junxi’s eyes were like a fire that was dying to swallow her up.
She found it ridiculously funny.
Xu Junxi grumbled and stood up from the rattan chair. He then left angrily.
He then seemed to have forgotten about Ning Yao, “Junxi, wait for me,” Ning Yao was wearing a pair of high heels and she was chasing after him.
…
Everyone left and the studio became quiet. Director w.a.n.g pa.s.sed Ning Qing a contract, “Ning Qing, I will use you for the role as Meng Yao in Street Walker. Here’s the contract. Read it through and sign if there’s no problem.”
Ning Yao flipped through the contract then picked up the pen to sign her name. Her hands were trembling when she signed the doc.u.ment. She finally had this day.
It was like a dream.
