Chapter 804: A Million Times for You (166)

How could she be willing and happy to give Yan Ge her first kiss after recalling those hostile remarks made by him in the morning?

Being an experienced actor, he had long become used to filming kiss scenes with several different actresses. However, it was a different case for Fang Erlan who came from a humble background and refrained from dating, for fear that it would affect her academics. Instead, she’d focused all her attention on her studies and strived to realize her dreams. In hindsight, Fang Erlan felt like a complete failure for never having had a boyfriend.

However, there was no way to turn back time anymore. Fang Erlan sat in a chair and held her mobile phone in her hands while watching and taking references from the videos of kiss scenes of other television series.

Xiao Yue leaned closer toward her and said, “Sis, if you keep covering your phone with your hands, others are going to think that you’re watching R-rated content. It’s only going to attract unwanted attention.”

She glanced at Xiao Yue and said in embarrassment, “Ahem, I won’t cover it then.”

She leaned flat against the chair and scanned her surroundings before watching the videos openly.

When it was time for them to film the kiss scene, Fang Erlan stood rooted, as if her feet were glued to the ground. She could not help but feel panicky and nervous at the thought of there being a huge crowd watching them while they kissed.

Xiao Yue gave her a little push and said, “Sis, what’s wrong with you? Go on.”

“I know, don’t push me,” said Fang Erlan.

Fang Erlan’s palms had become sweaty by the time she walked toward the camera. Staring at Yan Ge, who was as cool as a cucumber, Fang Erlan could not help but think to herself, He’s a true old fogy, it’s going to be hard on the inexperienced me.

But I’m a professional actress who graduated from the theater arts academy, I can’t let others belittle me. It’s just a kiss scene, isn’t it? It’ll be really quick, right?

As they began narrating their lines, Fang Erlan continuously prayed in her heart, I must pass the kiss scene in one take. I really don’t want to do it repeatedly.

In order to succeed in one take, she forced herself to put on her best performance.

However, Fang Erlan blanked out immediately the moment Yan Ge’s lips touched hers.

Especially when he stuck his tongue into her mouth…

She froze in shock and stared at him, dumbfounded while blushing red in embarrassment and shyness. Coincidentally, that happened to be the exact effects Jing Tian was looking for.

The female lead was supposed to feel like she was at a complete loss, according to the storyline.

Fang Erlan had played her role well by expressing her true feelings.

The kiss scene continued for a whole two minutes, during which the cameras panned and zoomed, filming the scene from every angle.

Fang Erlan’s heart was racing rapidly, and she turned around to scurry away as soon as the filming of the scene ended.

All the crew members and actors broke into laughter at the amusing sight.

Fang Erlan felt as if her face was burning.

Yan Ge’s initial calmness turned into amusement at the sight of Fang Erlan running away bashfully.

Xiao Li handed him some mouthwash, which he surprisingly did not accept.

Xiao Li was dumbfounded, for Yan Ge would make a conscious effort to rinse his mouth with an antiseptic mouthwash after every single kiss scene he filmed in the past. How unusual of him to make an exception this time.

It was already evening by the time An Xiaoning arrived.

If it weren’t for Jin Qingyan’s pesky behavior, she wouldn’t have been late.

“I haven’t been here in a long time. It’s been hard on everyone!” She stood up and bowed to the production team and actors, all of whom were surprised by her politeness.

“I finally got to see you again. We haven’t eaten yet, we were waiting for you to join us,” Jing Tian said with a chuckle.

“It’ll be my treat. Leave your work aside for a while, let’s go,” said An Xiaoning.

They proceeded to have dinner.

Everyone was chatting relaxedly during dinner, a stark contrast to Fang Erlan, who was feeling tense and awkward.

“How is Erlan doing?” An Xiaoning asked.

“She’s brilliant. You’ve got an eye for talents. She’s very hardworking,” Jing Tian praised.

An Xiaoning patted Fang Erlan on her shoulder and said, “Keep working hard.”

“I will, Sis Xiaoning.”

An Xiaoning rose from her seat and raised her glass while saying, “Here, let me toast to you guys. Thank you for giving your all and committing your time and effort to this television series.”

Everyone followed suit and clinked glasses with her before downing each of their drinks in one gulp.

Having had too much to drink, Fang Erlan felt a little giddy, after which she decided to stop and remain in her seat while listening to them talk, not touching any food or alcohol at all.

However, she could no longer walk steadily or balance herself even after the dinner ended.

Alcohol was a no-no for her since she could not hold her liquor well at all.

Just as Jing Shui held onto her, Xiao Yue tactfully took over and helped Fang Erlan into her room to get some rest.

After switching on the heater, Xiao Yue poured her a cup of water, left it on the table, and tucked her beneath the blanket. Xiao Yue then switched off the lights and returned to her own room.

Fang Erlan lay in bed and was not asleep yet.

She would usually fall asleep after having a few drinks, yet strangely, she was not sleepy at all and was instead recalling the way she felt during the kiss scene.

Indeed, she was reminiscing about the first kiss she ever had.

She continued to toss and turn in bed but simply could not fall asleep.

Hence, she decided to go to the balcony to enjoy the cool breeze while leaning against the railing.

She turned around and was greeted with the surprising sight of Yan Ge standing on the balcony of the room adjacent to hers.

“Senior Yan Ge, why haven’t you slept yet?” she asked.

“You haven’t either.”

“How could I be compared to you? You’ve always been more self-disciplined than I am when it comes to time management.”

“If you can’t sleep, you may come over to give me a massage. You haven’t performed your duty for today.”

Fang Erlan avoided eye contact with and ignored him.

“Did you hear me?” he questioned.

“From today onward, I won’t be giving you shoulder massages anymore.”

“Are you trying to go back on your word?” Yan Ge asked with raised brows.

Fang Erlan smiled sarcastically and gibed, “Yes, I’m going back on my word. Are you going to hit me?”

As soon as she finished speaking, she returned inside her room, leaving Yan Ge flabbergasted.

It was his first encounter with such an untrustworthy person who had the cheek to be haughty despite having gone back on her word. He was at a momentary loss for words.

He immediately proceeded to Fang Erlan’s door and pressed the doorbell while covering the peephole with his hand.

“Who’s there?”

“It’s me.”

Fang Erlan opened the door and asked, “Are you really coming here to beat me up?”

He entered without uttering another word and slammed the door shut with a loud thud.

Fang Erlan shouted at him from behind, “This is my room and I’m going to bed. What are you doing?”

He lay down on her bed with his back facing up and said, “I won’t leave until you give me a massage.”

Fang Erlan shot him a dirty look and said, “Is there something wrong with you? You’re so loaded, why don’t you just hire a professional masseuse?”

“I don’t want to spend a single cent and I prefer enjoying the free services you provide. Besides, we’ve already agreed on this right from the start. You’re infuriating me by breaking the agreement on your part!”

Fang Erlan stepped forward and looked at him from above. “So what if you’re infuriated?”

“Are you really planning to fall out with me?”

“Wow, I’m falling out with you just because I refuse to give you any more massages? I’m sorry, but we’ve already fallen out ever since you said this morning that we weren’t friends. Get out.”

“Fang Erlan, I didn’t expect you to be such an ingrate. If it weren’t for my help back then, you would long have been taken away by that man. You promised to massage me until the filming for the drama ends, yet you’re going back on your words. Has massaging me got anything to do with whether or not we’re friends? Or are you just very bothered about whether I truly consider you as my friend?”
