“Letting me stay by your side is a show of respect for me. I can’t let this good intention go to waste. Go to bed early. It’s getting late. I’ll call you tomorrow.”
Gu Linyan raised his hand to tuck her into the corner of the blanket. His tone was exceptionally gentle, but his gaze was already looking into the distance.
Yun Xi did not speak but silently moved closer to him.
The clock hands pointed to twelve o’clock, and the room was so quiet that only the sound of the clock ticking could be heard.
Five, four, three, two…
Yun Xi could not help but count down in his heart, anticipating the end to come. However, at the last second, Gu Linyan lowered his head and kissed her again.
This scene had taken too long, and his lips had become a little dry. Yun Xi could clearly feel the moment when they touched.
The kiss was like a dragonfly skimming the surface of the water, but it was more moving than any of the previous ones.
This was not written in the script, but Director Zhao did not say anything to stop it. It was very obvious that he was also moved by the feelings between the two of them.
After the kiss was over, Gu Linyan once again stretched out his hand and hugged Yun Xi tightly.
The muscles of his arms were well-defined and there were also scars that the makeup artist had meticulously created. The shot looked exceptionally good, increasing the tension of the scene and at the same time, helping Yun Xi cover some important parts.
In fact, as long as one took a closer look, one would be able to see that they were all wearing skin-tight flesh-colored underwear, and would not be exposed in detail.
But none of this was important. After another two scenes, Yun Xi’s scenes would be completely over.
In the last ten seconds, the two of them were both wearing white pajamas, and they were hugging each other on the dark blue bed. They were like a lonely boat on the sea, and could only rely on each other.
Yun Xi closed her eyes, and she could not help but recall what she had said to Gu Linyan in the suite the night before.
She asked Gu Linyan whether the male lead had ever loved the character she played.
If he purely said that he loved her, then the death of the gangster’s daughter would more or less seem illogical but if it was said that he did not love her, then the male lead would become someone who would not hesitate to sell his body, which would also be a kind of loss.
This question had also been discussed by the director and the scriptwriter before the filming started, but they had yet to come to an answer.
However Gu Linyan did not want to think too much about it. His answer was very simple.
“Of course it’s love, why not love? To be able to meet a lover who can share one’s heart in such an extraordinary life has always been a difficult thing to do. The male lead is so smart, how could he not cherish it?”
“Then why did he have to kill her later? Can’t the two of them escape together and wait until the matter is over before they can be together again?”
Yun Xi looked at the plot that had already been written in the script and was filled with puzzlement.
Gu Linyan shook his head and habitually took out his cigarette case and played with it in his hand.
“It’s not as simple as you think. This love won’t work out and it’s a dilemma between loyalty. This was preordained from the very beginning. The female lead and the male lead knew that in their hearts, one would choose to die and the other would kill her with his own hands. From a certain point of view, this could be considered as another form of fulfillment.”
Fulfillment? Then who would fulfill his wish?
Back at the hotel, Yun Xi was still immersed in the plot from before, unable to let go of it for a long time.
The important plot had already ended, so the next task was obviously much easier. Yun Xi was also fortunate enough to go out with the crew for an outdoor scene.
It was a pure white seaside villa. The eldest lady stood in front of the window of the room on the second floor and saw the only love of her life.
She raised her eyes and saw the endless sea. Behind her was a villa. Occasionally, a few white seagulls would stop in the courtyard. They did not know how to avoid people when they saw them.
The male lead played by Gu Linyan was full of youthful pride. He had not been tainted by the corruption within the Mafia.
That was the most beautiful scenery that Yun Xi had ever seen..
