Chapter 981: Chapter 981: He Likes You!

After slacking off for a few days, the shooting finally began, and Jian Dan and Mu Yi also joined the crew.

With Fang He frequently filming back in the day, Jian Dan had some understanding of how a set worked, as she would often go there to hang out when she had nothing else to do.

“You’re here?” Ling Yuqian greeted Jian Dan with enthusiasm when he saw her arrive.

“Is this your look for the film? It’s really dashing!” Jian Dan said upon seeing Ling Yuqian in his ancient costume.

Upon hearing Jian Dan’s compliment, a bright smile spread across Ling Yuqian’s face, “Of course, with a handsome face like this, any look is easily supported.”

“You’re really not modest at all!” Jian Dan jested.

“I wish, only my ability doesn’t allow for it!” A charming curve formed at Ling Yuqian’s mouth.

Mu Yi, who had been following behind and standing near Jian Dan, watched everything with a complicated expression.

Ling Yuqian indeed had a very good-looking face, but since Jian Dan faced Chu Liyuan’s incredibly handsome features every day, she naturally wasn’t overly impressed by Ling Yuqian, and his self-admiration earned him a big eye roll from her.

“The way you roll your eyes is really cute!” Ling Yuqian put his hands in his pockets and leaned down to meet Jian Dan’s gaze.

“You’re not that old, how come you’re so slick?” Jian Dan teased mercilessly once more.

“Why are you so different? I’m complimenting you, you know. And yet, you call me slick.” It was Jian Dan’s uniqueness that made his fondness for her only increase.

“Well then, thanks, I guess!” Jian Dan skirted past Ling Yuqian and walked towards Yuanyuan.

Ling Yuqian watched Jian Dan’s retreating figure, his brows wrinkling slightly. Had his charm waned? Why couldn’t he stir any interest?

“Yuanyuan, how are the preparations going?”

“Jian, you’re here?” The first thing Yuanyuan did wasn’t to look at Jian Dan but to scan around her, and only after confirming that Qian Lele wasn’t there did she relax her tense nerves.

“Yuanyuan, you’re really losing your nerve! You’re scared of a kid!” Jian Dan said with disdain.

“I think we should focus on discussing the film!”

“Alright!” Yuanyuan had now reached a point where just the mention of Qian Lele made her nervous.

“Discussing the film, shouldn’t you be including me, the male lead, in this conversation?” Ling Yuqian walked over.

Ling Yuqian, who had just joined them, hadn’t heard the previous conversation.

“Then, let’s do it together! Tell us about your understanding of the male lead!” Yuanyuan turned her head towards Ling Yuqian.

“I think the character of the male lead is quite likable, someone who’s reserved and lives a detached life. However, his character slowly unravels after meeting the female lead. He could let down everyone in the world, but not her.” As he spoke, he turned his gaze towards Jian Dan and continued, “That part is quite similar to me.”

“You? How do you look like the devoted type at all?” Jian Dan mocked again.

“Jian Dan, do you really enjoy teasing me? Where do I look unfaithful?” Ling Yuqian retorted.

“You? How do you?” Jian Dan tilted her head and questioned.

That single statement left Ling Yuqian speechless.

It seemed his first step was to change the preset image she had of him in her mind before there was any chance of further developments with her, Ling Yuqian thought to himself.

Ling Yuqian was so obvious in his display that only the equally oblivious Jian Dan and Yuanyuan failed to notice, but Mu Yi, standing behind, had seen right through Ling Yuqian’s intentions.

“The director is ready, we can start shooting!” The assistant director approached Yuanyuan and announced.

“Good! Let’s get ready to roll!”

The first scene to be shot was the encounter between the male and female leads…

“Who would’ve thought, Ling Yuqian’s acting is really that good?” As soon as Ling Yuqian was in character, he transformed completely. “It’s true, natural talent really does make a difference!” He was born to be an actor.

All of a sudden Mu Yi, who had been standing behind Jian Dan, spoke out, “He likes you!”
