Chapter 17
While the Snipe and the Clam Fight, She Gains the Advantage

Luo Yun Chu remained unmoved and played dumb, making Jiang Xin think he was clueless.

She had no choice but to take the initiative as the older sister.

“Luo Yun Chu, what’s your phone number?”

She changed the subject, asking for his contact information first.

Just a phone number, Luo Yun Chu generously provided it.

“131xxxxxxx”

His current thought was to go with the flow, taking things one step at a time.

Jiang Xin couldn't remember so she asked Luo Yun Chu to repeat it several times until she could recite the number perfectly.

This contact helped make the subsequent filming much smoother.

Jiang Xin knew these were precious few intimate scenes. During filming, she naturally took the opportunity to add her own touch.

They had already kissed and embraced.

It seemed there wasn’t much room for greater intimacy.

Just like outside, they were filming a scene where Duan Yanqing, the head of the Four Evildoers, was playing chess with a Shaolin Temple master using internal energy.

Luo Yun Chu and Jiang Xin only needed to stand by the window. He had lines, she didn’t.

Besides, everyone was outside.

Jiang Xin held Luo Yun Chu close, her mouth kissing his neck from time to time.

Her crystal-clear lips slid up and down against Luo Yun Chu’s skin, her infatuated expression as if he were a piece of Tang Monk's flesh.

Every time the camera moved, her small hand would become more daring.

Plus, everything below his chest was a blind spot.

Jiang Xin’s slender legs wrapped around Luo Yun Chu’s right leg, gently rubbing against it.

Luo Yun Chu felt like he was being roasted over an open fire. The key was, this was during the main shoot.

Sister Xin, are you being a little too dedicated?

Their little episode didn't hinder the crew's bustling shooting schedule.

During this time,

Luo Yun Chu often went to the action director to learn some routines, so it would be easier for him if he had to film action scenes later.

Zhang Jizhong readily agreed. He originally planned to hire an action director to guide Luo Yun Chu's movements later on.

Alpha Company · Rehearsal Room

Jay Chou was slumped on the table, a bit troubled. Since becoming a singer, he hadn’t been enthusiastic about writing songs for others.

Let alone writing eight songs.

But Wu Zongxian was not only his boss but also his benefactor.

He couldn’t refuse this request.

He had already written five songs, three of which he planned to put on his next album.

It seemed he would have to postpone that now.

Sunny Day, Terrace, East Wind Breaks, Step Back, Twin Swords…

There was also one called In the Name of Father, but he loved that song so it wasn’t in the plan.

He could have gotten away with some filler songs for the remaining three.

But he didn’t.

Jay Chou decided to find Wu Zongxian and let other company personnel compose them.

Time, like sand slipping through fingers, flew by, and October arrived.

The crew had a rare few days off.

Luo Yun Chu didn’t want this vacation, because Jiang Xin seemed to be clinging to him.

Every time he met his cousin, it was a storm of passion.

They couldn’t stand to be near each other.

Just like he had predicted, Jiang Xin was the kind of person who dared to love and hate, a strong personality.

Their intimate scenes weren’t a secret in the crew. They were often brought up to tease Liu Yifei.

Others envied them.

But Luo Yun Chu himself didn’t like this feeling, it was like a battlefield but not quite.

Thankfully, Shu Chang, his newly made friend, was the lubricant between them.

She would often comfort them, saying she wouldn’t let them quarrel too much.

This made Luo Yun Chu like her more. She was a good girl with a strong sense of justice.

But he was still too naive.

This thankless task,

Why would Shu Chang do it for no reason?

If she accidentally offended both of them, it would be a loss.

But she did it anyway.

Today, Shu Chang separated them as usual, and even snitched to Liu Xiaoli.

This strong auntie would probably intervene soon to stop their drama.

“Luo Yun Chu, they shouldn't be quarreling anymore. But before they left, they said they wanted to compete fairly.”

Only three people knew about this fair competition. After all these days, she already knew that Liu Yifei was only Luo Yun Chu’s cousin in name.

In her opinion, Liu Yifei was really a little confused.

Clearly, she was closer to Luo Yun Chu, yet she said something about fair competition.

Wasn’t that putting them on the same starting line?

“Thank you, Shu Chang.”

Luo Yun Chu was truly grateful to her. With her around, their rivalry was only behind closed doors.

If he had to choose, it would definitely be his cousin.

Shu Chang stuck out her tongue, embarrassed.

“No need to thank me. Even without me, they wouldn’t affect you. I just gave them a way out.”

Luo Yun Chu invited her.

“How can that be? Let me treat you to dinner sometime.”

“Okay.”

Shu Chang didn’t refuse. She giggled, revealing a pair of cute little canine teeth.

Her wolf tail was about to be revealed. Wasn’t she doing all this for this moment?

Luo Yun Chu smiled at her words. Looking at Shu Chang, petite and delicate like a little girl, he couldn’t help but stroke her head.

It was really hard to imagine that the Heavenly Mountain Child Empress would later transform into the cold and mature Chinese version of the Crazy Girl.

Shu Chang squinted her eyes, enjoying the touch. Although they were the same age, she felt like he was her older brother.

She was truly captivated by him.

When acting, Luo Yun Chu was the lovesick Duan Yu. But as soon as the director called "cut,"

He would transform back into the handsome and charming young master, a gentleman with quiet interests, courteous, well-versed in music and ritual.

Not a lovesick Duan Yu who would do anything for his fairy sister.

She couldn’t help but like this Luo Yun Chu.

Of course, Shu Chang still had some self-awareness.

Neither Liu Yifei nor Jiang Xin was someone she, a little bean sprout, could compare to.

She could only wait for them to fight, then she could reap the benefits.

November

At first, the crew members who weren’t convinced were indeed conquered. Luo Yun Chu never used a stunt double, no matter what action or danger there was.

Every day after filming, he would learn martial arts routines from the action director.

He never held anyone back.

Especially the scene where Qiao Feng and Duan Yu became sworn brothers. Hu Jun praised Luo Yun Chu as a natural for acting, able to endure hardship and willing to put in the effort.

Secondly,

Although Duan Yu constantly pursued Wang Yuyan in the drama, it was the opposite in real life.

Every time she finished filming, Liu Yifei would be the first to find Luo Yun Chu, taking care of him and asking him how he was. They would even wear their costumes.

Once, Zhang Jizhong sighed, saying that Luo Yun Chu should have played Murong Fu, then Liu Yifei's infatuation with her cousin would have been natural.

Unfortunately, Luo Yun Chu was too young.

Time flew by, and the end of the year was upon them.

The crew’s shooting schedule became increasingly tight, and they began to speed up their progress, running around the country for on-location filming.
