859 A Million Times for You 221 (1/2)

She was initially supposed to act out a scene wherein she was frail and suffering a cramp in her leg. However, she had actually suffered a real cramp.

She slowly sank down the water of the pond. However, it was not time for the male lead to save her yet. The diver inside the water handed her the breathing tube, after which she took a few breaths of oxygen and handed it back to him. Yan Ge dived into the pond.

He reached out to grab her hand and pulled her upward.

Keeping a mouthful of water in her mouth, Fang Erlan closed her eyes and pretended to pass out while Yan Ge pulled her out of the water.

The CPR scene was the third time the male and female leads would be sharing a kiss in the drama.

Fang Erlan had given him all three of her first kisses.

She felt like she was on the losing end because of that fact.

He was already an expert at kissing and yet she was just a rookie.

Somehow, she decided to muster the courage and be willful for once.

According to the script, she was supposed to cough out the water in her mouth, after which he would continue to say his lines to her.

However, Fang Erlan opened her eyes slowly while Yan Ge was performing CPR on her and proceeded to throw her arms around his neck before giving him a deep, passionate kiss right in front of everyone.

Her mind had gone blank, and all she could see and feel was Yan Ge's eyes and the warmth of his lips.

To her surprise, the director did not yell for them to stop.

None of the crew members saw anything amiss with it at all.

The supporting actress was instantly dumbfounded.

I don't remember there being a kiss in this scene that I'm involved in as well. What is going on?

Did the Director add it on? Or did Fang Erlan take things into her own hands?

She stepped forward and asked softly, ”Director, did you add this scene?”

Jing Tian admitted, ”Yes. I think it'll make the scene much better. I didn't tell you because it wouldn't affect your parts.”

The supporting actress felt much more relieved, thinking to herself that Fang Erlan probably wouldn't have had the guts to include additional scenes herself.

Yan Ge was coerced into the kiss because Fang Erlan had her arms around his neck and, thus, he had no choice but to play along.

Fang Erlan only let go of him after she snapped back to reality.

She continued to narrate her lines and acted out the remaining parts of the scene.

Fang Erlan was filled with panic and wished that she could run away the moment the director yelled ”cut.”

She had no idea what had gotten into her earlier, and she thought to herself that she must have been out of her mind.

Xiao Yue handed Fang Erlan a shawl, which the latter then wrapped around herself before scrambling toward the fitting room.

Fang Erlan's heart was still racing when she returned to her room.

She felt as if her heart was about to jump out of her chest.

She felt so embarrassed that she wished she could drown herself to death.

What was I doing just now?

What is Yan Ge going to think of me from now on? He'll hate me, won't he?

What would Director think?

Fang Erlan squatted down as a million questions flooded her mind.

She changed into another costume and headed to the makeshift makeup room.

Yan Ge had already changed into his outfit and was getting his makeup done. They held each other's gazes, after which Fang Erlan quickly looked away. She was too guilty and afraid to look at him.

She felt that he must be thinking she was a shameless, wanton woman.

She felt even more embarrassed at the thought of what he could possibly be thinking of her.

She remained seated quietly and allowed the makeup artist and hairstylist to redo her makeup and hair.

An awkward silence filled the air.

Once she was done with being groomed, Yan Ge finally broke his silence and said to the stylists and assistants, ”You guys, go out first.”

Fang Erlan was left alone with him in the makeup room.

She suddenly felt ill at ease and had no idea what he wanted to say to her.

However, she decided to apologize first, ”I'm sorry.”

”Why did you do that?”

”I'm sorry,” she repeated, unsure of what else to say.

Yan Ge stood up and walked toward her. ”Look up.”

Fang Erlan raised her head slowly and met his menacing eyes.

”Don't tell me you've fallen for me?” he asked.

Shaking her head, Fang Erlan answered, ”I haven't.”

”Why did you do that, then?”
