Before taking another take, the director asked the crew mbers to help Xin i in handling the sword. She took so ti to learn the gripping of the sword in a way the director wanted.
She threw a sly smirk in the direction of Chen Bai, who beca aware that Xin i was going to beat him again like the last ti.
"We will continue from the ti where Xin i had lifted the sword," Director inford and asked everyone to take their positions. Once everyone was on position, he yelled action.
Xin i acted like before and picked up the sword. She looked at Chen Bai and stumbled a little. Chen Bai, who was afraid of a hit, stumbled back.
Xin i again waved her sword, the way she had to for her scene, but Chen Bai beca afraid of a hit and moved backward.
Xin i kept doing her moves, as inford by the director where Chen Bai kept stepping backwards in fear. He lost focus that he was filming. At last, he stumbled on the floor, falling on his butts.
"Cut," director Zhang yelled. "Chen Bai, don't tell that you are feeling dominated by Xin i. I already have Zhou Mingyu to worry about. Please don't make regret on my decision, for selecting you as my second male."
Chen Bai looked at Xin i with dark eyes. He felt bad for getting scolded by the director. Tang Min who was present on the sets, smiled when he saw Chen Bai getting scolded.
How good it would be for him, if director Zhang kicked Chen Bai out!
"I am a sorry director. I thought Xin i would again hit like before, so, I beca a little distracted. This ti I will focus on the scene." Chen Bai apologized guiltily.
This ti when director Zhang yelled action, both Xin i and Chen Bai gave their best acting. This ti their acting was more powerful.
Tang Min could also feel pressure coming from them.
"Ruyi, co to empire Jun with . I will help you in taking your revenge." Emperor Jun said in a loud and clear voice. His voice zood around on the whole set. Many people felt goose bumps on their skin.
"Thank you, emperor Jun." Ruyi sunk down in front of him. She looked up at him with burning fire in her eyes. Her eyes were so dark that blood could be seen in her eyes.
Everyone got srized and at the sa ti afraid of Ruyi.
"Well done, cut."
Director Zhang felt the excitent when he again checked the last scene in his display. The scene was so strong that he felt his blood pumping hard in his veins.
"Both of you have a lunch break. After that we will shoot the close-ups."
Xin i nodded her head and made her way towards the canteen, when Chen Bai stopped her in mid steps.
"What was that Xin i?" he gritted his teeth. "I think, last night I approached you with a clean slate. Then why did you hit like that?"
"It was my revenge." Xin i clapped her hands.
"What revenge?" he gritted his teeth.
Before Xin i could reply, Tang Min interrupted them. "Here you are, Xin i, I was searching for you."
Tang Min looked at Chen Bai with sore eyes. He glared at him before speaking, "Any problem Xin i? Is senior Bai troubling you?"
"No, he was…." Before she could complete, Chen Bai interrupted her. "Tang Min, Can't you see? I was talking sothing important with Xin i. So please excuse us."
Chen Bai wrapped his arm around Xin i and pulled her aside. Tang Min followed her, but he was locked outside of the room where Chen Bai entered with Xin i.
"Now tell ? What revenge?"
"Didn't you wake up early in the morning?" Xin i glared at him. "Don't you know how much I treasure my sleep? You made frustrated in the morning, so this my revenge."
"Oh that," Chen Bai scratched his head. "I was really worried about you."
"Keep your excuses to yourself." Xin i placed her hand in front of him. "I know you Chen Bai and I know you can't live without playing pranks with ."
Chen Bai smiled cheekily and scratched his head. If he had known that she would take his prank so seriously, then he wouldn't have dared to play any prank on her.
"Now please excuse ."
"Xin i, can't we beco friends instead of frenemy? You know friends can play pranks on one another."
"No Chen Bai," Xin i shook her head. "You know we can never be friends. We are like water and fire."
Chen Bai shook his head when he heard Xin i. Only he knew how much her words hurt him.
He still rembered seeing this silly girl for the first ti beside He Ye. He felt attracted to her innocence. He wanted to be her friend at that ti. He wanted to protect her from this world, keeping her innocence intact.
He tried so hard to be her friend but every ti, Zhou Mingyu and Qian Fan stopped her from being his friend. He felt so frustrated that she was ignoring him because of them.
Chen Bai didn't have any way other than to play pranks on her to get her attention. She always rebuked him whenever he played a prank on her and he loved it.
He also loved it when she answered back to his pranks; no one had done so except for Xin i. He knew they would beco the perfect partners in cri.
When Zhou Mingyu had joined the film industry, he was shocked it wasn't Xin i. He started to hate Zhou Mingyu, when he was inford that it was due to Zhou Mingyu that Xin i wasn't joining the film industry.
What not he had planned for her?
He had planned to act opposite her in her first movie. He wanted to help her in having her own big fan base. He wanted to introduce her to this film world. He wanted to work with her. He had seen all the videos of her acting via He Ye and he knew Xin i was very talented.
He had decided he would never act opposite to Zhou Mingyu and if possible, he would try to end her career but his plan failed when Xin i pleaded to him.
"Chen Bai, please help my Mingyu. Please give her the main lead role in your movie," It was the first ti she asked sothing from him. It was the first ti she didn't fire at him like a spicy chili.
He looked at her and a plan ford in his mind.
"Ok, I will make her my heroine but you have to return my favour…."
And the favour he asked was for her to beco his assistant for the movie. The ti which he spent with her during that duration was the best ti of his life.
He got his playmate. He got to see the real her who was as naughty and prankster like him. He could see her smile, got close to her and kept her away from Zhou Mingyu.
After that, Chen Bai had helped Xin i a lot of tis, only to get favours from her.
When he was offered the role of revenge, he was hesitating. He didn't want to play a second role! He knew the screen ti of emperor Jun was less than screen ti of emperor Kai but he agreed for Xin i.

Xin i stepped out of the room and found Tang min standing at the door.
"What are you doing here?" she asked with surprise.
"I didn't leave." He said with a shy smile. "I was afraid that sothing was going on in between you both so….besides; I wanted to talk with you."
"What do you want to talk?"
"I and my friends are having barbeque lunch at the roof. Do you want to join us?"
Before Xin i could reply, Chen Bai stepped outside. He glared at Tang Min and rejected his offer.
"No, she is having lunch with . I have sothing to talk to her about our upcoming scenes."
Chen Bai wrapped his arms around Xin i and pulled her away. Xin i also didn't reject his hug because she didn't want to spend ti with Tang Min.
"Stay away from Tang Min." Chen Bai warned. "He may look good but he is a vicious snake. I had seen him with many girls. He loves to play with innocent girls like you. So beware of him."
"I know you don't need to remind . I am well aware of his intentions."
Xin i removed the hand of Chen Bai from her back and made her way towards changing room where Fang Lin was waiting for her with her lunch.
After having her lunch, Xin i gave her close-up shots.
Close-up shots of Chen Bai were still going on so he did not follow her when she made her way towards her room, after changing her dress.
When she entered the room, she was shocked to see the person who was standing in front of her.
