As Luo Sifang was eating, she heard Luo Dingxin and He Jinxia discuss the character "Ciming Jiayou," and her mind was still a bit fuzzy.
Later, Luo Sifang joined the discussion as well, talking about this character.
Because Luo Dingxin felt that he did not grasp the character well, both He Jinxia and Luo Sifang helped him analyze it.
Three heads are better than one; the character "Ciming Jiayou" was quickly and bluntly dissected by the trio, and not only that, Luo Dingxin also professionally pulled out the script and began rehearsing the scene with He Jinxia.
Ciming Jiayou and Su Qingwan, as one of the few romantic storylines in the first half of "Small Bridge, Flowing Water, People," did not interact as much as imagined. They only had about a dozen scenes together indoors, from which He Jinxia and Luo Dingxin chose one.
He Jinxia hung her head low, never daring to look at Luo Dingxin, her hands naturally hanging down and twisting together, her shoulders trembling slightly, she mustered the courage to say, "Young Master Ciming, this is my belonging."
It was only then that Ciming Jiayou, played by Luo Dingxin, got a clear look at Su Qingwan’s face, a trace of astonishnt crossing his eyes. He pondered for a mont, twirling the jade pendant in his hand, and said,
"You say this is your belonging, but I found it on the ground, anyone could claim it as hers."
Su Qingwan started to beco anxious, looking up at Ciming Jiayou, taking a few steps forward: "This really is my belonging, give it back to !"
Ciming Jiayou sternly shook his head: "No, you can’t prove it’s yours."
Su Qingwan, frustrated, stamped her foot: "You, you..."
At that mont, Luo Sifang, playing Su Qingying, suddenly appeared and rushed towards Ciming Jiayou, reaching for the jade pendant.
"Quick, give my sister’s jade pendant back to her. It’s shaful for soone praised as a gentleman from a reputable family to even snatch sothing from a lady!"
Ciming Jiayou dodged to the side, moving even closer to Su Qingwan, her eyes brightening as she too reached out to grab the jade pendant he held in his hand.
In the script, this scene was ant for Ciming Jiayou to dodge, but Su Qingwan accidentally twisted her ankle and was about to fall to the ground. Ciming Jiayou quickly reached out to catch Su Qingwan, ending up beneath her, making solid contact with the ground.
Su Qingwan followed up by landing on his chest, her head striking Ciming Jiayou’s chest.
The feelings between the two were sparked in this very mont.
However, they were rely rehearsing the scene now, and He Jinxia did not actually pretend to fall. She stood in place, gesturing the angles of how Luo Dingxin would fall and her position behind him, and they considered the scene complete.
Luo Dingxin saw He Jinxia seriously studying the angles, striving to perform the most beautiful scene on cara, and couldn’t help but smile, saying,
"Jinxia, it’s useless to imagine it out of context; we need to wait for the actual caras to roll, and then the director will adjust our positions based on the fra, achieving the best results.
"Why don’t I lie down now for you to see, and you’ll find that no matter how you look, it won’t feel beautifully captured—one is that our costus aren’t right, and the other is the difference between the person displayed through the lens and the real person."
He Jinxia ca back to her senses, shook her head, and said, "No need for that, you’re right. Without the cara, it’s hard to arrange our positions properly. Let’s quickly rehearse the next few scenes!"
Luo Dingxin nodded, and the two of them resud acting out the scenes.
Luo Sifang quietly watched from the side, playing her part when it ca up, but mostly she was sitting on the bench.
In a corner unseen by the two, a trace of confusion flickered across her face. She always felt there was sothing off about Luo Dingxin and He Jinxia.
However, upon closer inspection, she couldn’t find anything truly unusual about them. Their interactions during the scenes were normal, not to ntion there was no sign of any intimate behavior.
If there was anything, it was that Luo Dingxin’s attitude towards He Jinxia was clearly better than towards herself.
Thinking of this, Luo Sifang let it go. After all, she had joined the group with funding, and it was no surprise that Luo Dingxin might have mistaken her for a star without real talent.
A sharp glint flashed in her eyes as she secretly planned to prove her worth over the course of the filming. With careful planning, she might even beco friends with him and He Jinxia.
Ti swiftly passed, and soon it was ten o’clock in the evening. Cheng Xiaohua had been waiting outside the private room the whole ti. Seeing this, she knocked on the door to remind Fat Emperor that it was ti to rest.
Seeing that He Jinxia was about to leave, Luo Sifang quickly took out her phone, smiling as she said, "It’s the first day of filming, the first gathering. Let’s take a photo to commorate it. I’ll post it on Weibo in a bit!"
No matter what He Jinxia and Luo Dingxin really thought, at least they both smiled on the surface and took a photo with Luo Sifang.
Once in the car, as soon as He Jinxia closed the door, she dropped the official smile that had adorned her face and rubbed her temples, her expression showing a hint of exhaustion.
Cheng Xiaohua, who was driving, saw He Jinxia’s tired appearance through the rearview mirror and softly said, "You got up early today to do makeup, fild till the evening, and even had to go out for dinner. It’s been a rushed day, and you have to get up early tomorrow for makeup!"
He Jinxia closed her eyes and responded faintly, "Yeah, it won’t be this rushed in the future. After all, it was their first invitation, and it wouldn’t have been nice to refuse outright. Moreover—"
She paused, then opened her eyes, the weariness vanishing as interest flickered, "This dinner wasn’t without its gains."
Cheng Xiaohua asked curiously, "Did you figure out Luo Dingxin and Luo Sifang’s backgrounds?"
He Jinxia said, "Luo Dingxin is very normal; he really ca to discuss the script. But this Luo Sifang..."
She took out her phone to open Weibo, searched Luo Sifang’s profile, and saw the most recent photo that had been posted— the group photo of the three of them, comnting playfully, "She has quite a few tricks up her sleeve, but her acting is so-so."
Cheng Xiaohua humd in agreent, reminding, "It’s good to be cautious. Keep an eye on her."
Seeing that Luo Dingxin had shared the photo, He Jinxia followed suit by sharing it too, then exited Weibo and opened WeChat, replying nonchalantly, "Yeah, I know what to do."
ticulous in her dealings, Cheng Xiaohua had already figured her out after just a few days together. Seeing her respond this way, she didn’t say more and focused on driving.
The mont WeChat was opened, the first pinned ssage was inevitably a group chat. Clicking on it, she saw that Mrs. Sheng and Aunt Rui, the two mothers, were chatting about daily life.
Aunt Rui: "Ah, Sifang, I’ve been so bored lately. Let’s get together for so beauty treatnts whenever you’re free!"
Mrs. He: "I’d rather not. Your husband is back. I wouldn’t want to disturb your ti together by asking you out!"
Aunt Rui: "Not at all. That boring old stick is so dull! When he’s ho, he’s still buried in his work. Our son is busy flying all over the place and he’s even busier than our son, hardly seeing him a few tis a year."
Mrs. He: "Ah, such is the life of a businessman, being busy is normal. Plus, the nature of his responsibilities is special. Try to understand more. Your husband is almost retiring, he’ll be ho to keep you company every day soon enough."
