Was there something wrong with Zhengqiao’s brain?!

He had only filmed two scenes with Jiang Xun, and he already knew that Jiang Xun was a good person?
How could he know Jiang Xun as well as she did?
The next scene happened to be Jiang Xun and Yuexi’s scene.
In order to let Jiang Xun finish filming as quickly as possible and return to school for class, Deng Xu arranged all of Jiang Xun’s scenes together, giving priority to her scenes.
“In this scene, Bi Yuewu killed someone on the street, and Yu Hengjun caught up with her.”
After Deng Xu explained, the martial arts instructor came over to explain to them about movement and positioning.
“In the last move, Yu Hengjun raises her leg and hits Bi Yuewu right in the chest.” The martial arts instructor gestured with his leg and said to Yuexi, “You’ve studied dance before, so it’s not difficult to do this move.”

Yuexi gestured with her leg and the martial arts instructor nodded. “That’s right. That’s it.”
“If you really can’t do it, we still have a stunt double. But it’s best if you do it yourself. People can still tell the difference between you and a stunt double,” Deng Xu said. “All of you actors are thin, so a stunt double’s figure is very different from all of you. Even if the camera flashes by, you can tell that from the audience’s point of view, which makes the viewing experience not very good.”
Yuexi nodded. “I can do it myself.”
The shooting of this scene started very smoothly.
Fighting scenes were not done in one go either. They were all shot by shot.
Yuexi’s dancing skills played a great role.
There was no need to say any lines, and the number of NGs was also much less.
When it came to the last scene, Yuexi needed to kick Jiang Xun’s chest.
According to the martial arts instructor, she only needed to touch her and the camera would handle it.
Jiang Xun also opened her front to Yuexi as promised.
But unexpectedly, Yuexi kicked her heavily.
Yuexi had already planned this ever since she was gesturing her movements for the martial arts instructor to see.

She had already thought about it. After kicking Jiang Xun, she would say that she didn’t retract her strength properly.
Anyway, accidents like this often happened during filming, so Jiang Xun could only swallow her anger.
She could not directly make a scene in the production team because of this.
She was always bullied by Jiang Xun, so she finally found an opportunity to fight back openly.
It was too late for Deng Xu and the others to stop at this time.
They could only watch helplessly as Yuexi kicked Jiang Xun in the chest.
“Bang!” The kick was solid.
Everyone felt a real pain when they heard it.
Yuexi thought that such a heavy kick would send Jiang Xun flying.
Who knew that Jiang Xun would stand firmly on the spot.
When Yuexi withdrew her foot, Jiang Xun grabbed her ankle.
Jiang Xun exerted force with her hand and flipped. At the same time, Yuexi spun like a top.
“Ah!” Yuexi cried out in pain. She actually cried out, “Sob sob sob!”
Deng Xu and the others quickly went forward to take a look.
Fortunately, there was a doctor in the group.
Because there were many fighting scenes, Deng Xu specially brought a doctor with him in case of an accident.
Yuexi’s face was pale from the pain, and beads of sweat kept oozing out of her forehead.
The doctor examined her for a moment. “She’s fine. There’s no fracture. She just fell and hurt her ankle.”
“There’s no fracture?” Yuexi cried and said, “It really hurts too much.”
The doctor was speechless. “There’s a cushion underneath you…”
For the sake of safety when filming the fighting scenes, a thick cushion was specially laid on the ground.
What kind of fracture could it have been?
“We won’t be able to shoot the scenes for the next few days,” the doctor said.
Deng Xu had a gloomy look on his face, but he could only say, “Yuexi, have a good rest for a few days. We’ll continue shooting when your leg is better. We’ll shoot the other parts first.”
“Fortunately, this is the only scene you’ll be shooting with Jiang Xun. We’re almost done with the shooting of the previous part. If we want to make up for it later, we’ll only need the stunt double to shoot a close-up scene,” Deng Xu calculated. “Fortunately, it wouldn’t affect Jiang Xun’s shooting progress.”
Yuexi: “…”
Shouldn’t you be concerned about my injury?
“The movements just now were different from what the martial arts instructor said.” Yuexi hugged her ankle and cried in pain. “The martial arts instructor said that you were the one who is kicked down by me, but why did you throw me?”
Everyone thought that Yuexi’s description was quite accurate.
She was indeed thrown by Jiang Xun.
“The martial arts instructor didn’t let you really kick me.” Jiang Xun curled her lips, “The strength of your kick triggered my muscle memory as a martial artist. Before I could think of anything, my hands had already made the first move. There was nothing I could do. If you hadn’t kicked me, you wouldn’t have gotten hurt.”
Jiang Xun guessed what Yuexi was thinking.
She wanted to turn the fake kick into a real one during filming, in order to make her suffer from being kicked.
Jiang Xun touched her chest.
She was in Bi Yuewu’s costume. As an assassin, Bi Yuewu’s costume was neater, and it was covered with armor on the chest, waist, arms, and calves.
Although the armor of the costume was certainly not as thick and sturdy as it looked, it still played a protective role.
Yuexi’s strength was really not enough for Jiang Xun.
After all, Jiang Xun was someone who could break a rock on her chest without getting hurt at all.
All the attributes and ability points for her body had increased. Yuexi’s kick could not even leave a bruise on Jiang Xun.

However, Yuexi didn’t have good intentions. Since she had delivered herself to her doorstep, how could Jiang Xun let her off?
Yuexi only sprained her ankle because she was too kind.
Yuexi was so angry at Jiang Xun’s words that she couldn’t even breathe. She pointed at Jiang Xun and angrily questioned, “Who would believe you if you said that? You deliberately sprained my ankle! Jiang Xun, why are you so bad? Do you not want me to continue acting? Do you want to take the opportunity to kick me out of the production team?”
“Yuexi, it’s just a sprained ankle. There’s no need for you to quit the production team. You can continue filming after a few days of rest.” Deng Xu felt that Yuexi was making a big deal out of nothing, she had actually made it seem that Jiang Xun did not want her to act.

If he did not make a sound, who knew what Yuexi would say.
The martial arts instructor saw that Deng Xu was biased towards Jiang Xun, so he spoke up to be fair, “An excellent martial artist does indeed have a very strong muscle memory. If someone wants to hurt them, the martial artist will subconsciously strike back. Often, the action of the strike is faster than the brain thinks. Jiang Xun’s skills are very good. I’ve practiced martial arts since I was young, but I still can’t beat her. If someone hits me, I will subconsciously strike based on the muscle memory, not to mention Jiang Xun. That’s why I asked you to only do one kick in the beginning. I didn’t ask you to really kick Jiang Xun because I was afraid that if you really did kick her, Jiang Xun would subconsciously retaliate, and you would be the one to get hurt.”
