Early in the morning, Yun Muxi and Gong Yu were called by Zhao Yi to the crew meeting.
As soon as He Xin, Wang Hao, Gong Yu, and Yun Muxi sat down, Zhao Yi sat up straight and looked around the crowd seriously. He said straight to the point, “I called everyone here today to talk about the changing of the script. This time, because of Ding Sisi’s uproar, the plot of the grand finale has been leaked. It is no trivial matter that such a crucial part of the grand finale has been leaked. Although I handled it quickly, someone must have seen it, and there is no guarantee that it will not continue to spread. Therefore, certain modifications must be made to the plot. Do you have any comments on the modification?”
Wang Hao rubbed his chin with his forefinger, thought for a moment, and spoke first, “In fact, for the grand finale part, I think the current open ending is quite good, it gives people infinite space for reverie. However, if it is changed directly to a fruitful ending, neither comedy nor tragedy seems appropriate.”
Yun Muxi knitted her exquisite eyebrows while listening quietly. She met Gong Yu’s inquiring eyes unintentionally, her heart quivered, a faint thought flashed, and some unease hit her heart.
Sure enough, a moment later Gong Yu’s steady voice sounded, “I have a bold idea. Our play itself is a time travelling show. Since the female lead can travel freely across the ancient and modern world, why can’t the male lead follow the female lead and travel to the modern world?”
Hearing this, Zhao Yi immediately brightened his eyes, raised his right index finger to push his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and nodded. “Well, this is a very good proposal! The audience always likes those perfect stories with persistent, dedicated and true love elements. We can add some obstacles to the male lead’s crossing into the modern times or let the male lead go through a little suffering and add a little twists and turns so as to make their love more touching. This will better move the audience’s heart, make them cry and earn some tears.”
Wang Hao went on to add, “Well, it’s better to let the male lead have a near-death experience, or let the male lead search for the female lead with struggles, or let the female lead suffer amnesia or something. The worst for them, the better!”
He Xin gave a slap of excitement and a hearty smile, then said, “Well, that’s good! This way, this ending is better than the previous open ending. I like it! Gong Yu, not bad, this idea is very good! Xiao Xi, what do you think?”
Yun Muxi glanced at Gong Yu and faced his eyes surging with dark light. It seemed that a storm was brewing at the bottom of his eyes, causing Yun Muxi’s heart to skip a beat. Then, she said with some concerns, “But I still don’t have any good ideas for setting this ending. How does the male lead follow the female lead across times?”
Gong Yu turned his eyes to the rest and said with a heavy voice, “This is simple. Let’s add another small token to the female lead’s time travels, such as adding a toy bear or something…”
Speaking of this, Gong Yu’s eyes paused on Yun Muxi’s face. He happened to see Yun Muxi’s extremely unnatural expression. He continued, “This doll has a special magic power. It can bring the female lead across times when she is drunk. When she finally leaves, she does not intend to return to this place because she is sad. Therefore, she left the doll, an important object, in the ancient times at the last moment before crossing. The male lead took the bear and used the same way as the female lead to travel to modern times.”
Zhao Yi nodded, his face lit up with approval and said, “Well, this is good. I previously thought that the female lead’s time travels seemed to lack something, but I didn’t think much about it. Now with this, it seems that everything makes more sense! Having such a magic object really adds some highlights to the whole plot!”
Yun Muxi was already a little upset at the moment. Her heart could not calm down due to Gong Yu’s proposal. Everything was moving toward the track based on Gong Yu’s design, which made her feel very uneasy.
Yun Muxi drew random circles on the notebook with her pen, and she did not speak for a long time.
Zhao Yi thought that Yun Muxi was still thinking as she did not speak and was drawing something on her notebook. He said directly to Yun Muxi, “Xiao Xi, let’s change the whole plot like this! We will shoot other people’s parts first these days and you can concentrate on improving the script first.”
Yun Muxi nodded.
Zhao Yi hurriedly said, “We’ll start your part after the script has been changed. We’re all satisfied with your performance last time, Xiao Xi. I hope you can still maintain this state next time. Don’t let us down!”
Yun Muxi almost forgot about the female lead incident. The sudden mention by Director Zhao caused Yun Muxi to feel more miserable. She hesitated and said, “Zhao Director, how about we discuss again on this matter?”
He Xin chuckled and said to Yun Muxi, “Xiao Xi, don’t be nervous. Your performance last time was especially good. It’s definitely not worse than Ding Sisi. Believe in yourself! We look forward to your performance!”
Yun Muxi really wanted to say that although she had done well last time, she really could not bear the pain. At this rate, she really could not imagine if her heart would be riddled with holes if the movie finished filming.
After the meeting, Yun Muxi returned home. Feeling very tired, she found that she was getting afraid of Gong Yu. This person was too destructive to her and could beat her every time. She really did not know how long she could last.
She laid on her back in bed and looked straight at the ceiling…
Suddenly, the doorbell rang and Yun Muxi recovered after quite a while. She got up hurriedly to open the door.
When the door opened, she saw Gong Yu looking straight at her coldly. His eyes were too penetrating and seemed to be able to see through her soul, causing Yun Muxi to dodge unnaturally.
Without waiting for Yun Muxi to open her mouth, Gong Yu walked into the room naturally, as if returning to his home. Yun Muxi closed the door and turned to ask, “What’s the matter?”
Gong Yu took off his coat and draped it on the back of the sofa. He sat down on the sofa with great composure. Then, he raised his head, looked straight at Yun Muxi and said, “Let’s have a talk!”
Yun Muxi’s eyebrows knitted slightly and she said softly, “What do we have to talk about?”
Gong Yu’s expression was still cool, but anger rose slightly in his heart and gradually spread.
Gong Yu’s eyes stared straight at Yun Muxi as if he would see through her heart. After a full minute, he slowly said, “We haven’t communicated well before. We’d better speak out frankly!”
Yun Muxi dodged Gong Yu’s eyes, which were almost like infrared rays, leaving Yun Muxi unable to cope. Yun Muxi tried her best not to show any changes in her expression and pretended to say flatly, “I really don’t think there is anything to talk about between us!”
Gong Yu stood up quickly and strode to the front of Yun Muxi. His slight anger could no longer be suppressed, with darkness surged in his eyes, as if there was a violent storm, condensing the power of darkness.
Gong Yu grabbed Yun Muxi’s slender shoulder with one hand and her sharp chin with the other hand, forcing Yun Muxi to lift her eyes and look at his glasses. He said coldly, “Yun Muxi, you are going to pretend to be dumb till when? Do you think there’s a point in doing so? Or is this just your means of playing hard to get?”
Yun Muxi’s shoulder and chin were pinched by Gong Yu. The pain caused a fit of slight anger to rise in Yun Muxi instantly. Angrily, Yun Muxi said, “Playing hard to get, why should I play hard to get for you? Clearly, it’s you who have been pestering me for no reason, okay?”
Gong Yu hissed, his eyes became sharper, and he said with a hint of harshness, “Ah… for no reason? Why do you deny everything when you have me in your heart? And tell me that I’m doing this for no reason?”
Yun Muxi answered coldly, “Gong Yu, aren’t you too opinionated? Who told you I have you in my heart?”
Gong Yu moved his head closer, and his breath was mixed with that of Yun Muxi’s. He gazed at her big black, bright and clear eyes and said slowly, “Your body is more honest than your mouth! Do you want me to prove it to you now?”
Yun Muxi’s heart turned into a sudden mess, like a flood, it quickly hit every inch of the heart with fierce force and caused Yun Muxi to be in a completely uncontrollable panic!
Yun Muxi hurriedly tried to get rid of Gong Yu’s fingers. Her slender fingers pried hard against Gong Yu’s fingers holding her chin, but Gong Yu’s fingers were almost like superglue, completely immovable and even tightened up.
Gong Yu saw the confusion in Yun Muxi’s eyes and this triggered an evil smile satisfactorily. Loosening the finger which was holding Yun Muxi’s chin, he grabbed Yun Muxi’s waist. With one twist, Yun Muxi was easily brought onto the sofa. The whole movement was extremely beautiful and smooth, like a scene in a drama, which was enviable and worth expecting. It was absolutely stunning, romantic and tender.
But at the moment, Yun Muxi simply had no time to consider these, her heart was panic-stricken. Looking at Gong Yu in horror, her white cheeks turned pale. Yun Muxi said nervously, “Gong Yu, you…”
Before her sentence was finished, she was sealed by a pair of cool thin lips.
Yun Muxi was almost crying, she writhed and tried to break free, but was unable to move.
Yun Muxi found it really hard to resist the emotional kiss from Gong Yu. The taste could not only easily arouse Gong Yu’s greed, but it also made Yun Muxi intoxicate with the magic.
Sure enough, Yun Muxi could not resist the warm feeling, she gradually lost her reason and clumsily cooperated in response to Gong Yu’s kiss…
Due to Yun Mu Xi’s response, all the anger in Gong Yu immediately vanished, and his mood became more and more cheerful. His heart could not help but sigh: Yun Mu Xi was really the knot of his vitality, and he could not live his whole life without entanglement with her.
His love was born because of her, and his hatred was also born because of her. Even his motivation to survive was now because of her. He could no longer live without her, but what about her? Was she also inseparable from him? And she just refused to admit it herself?
