The sword hummed.
After finishing a set of moves, Luo Yun Chu drew a flourish with his sword, then sheathed it.
“Clap clap clap!”
The director led the applause. His inner thoughts had already begun to stir—the person he valued most in this production had finally appeared.
Luo Yun Chu was someone he had forcefully brought in, acting entirely based on his own vision.
To him, the better the performance, the better.
After all, the script had already been heavily modified, so how it was filmed ultimately rested with him, the executive producer.
Faced with everyone’s applause,
Luo Yun Chu modestly bowed before hiding behind Liu Xiao Li, appearing quite obedient.
He glanced at his panel, but there was no reaction.
It seemed this production wasn’t within the selectable range.
However, this was an original cameo role.
It was only natural that it wouldn’t be included.
The director called over the martial arts director, wanting to personally design a set of moves for Luo Yun Chu.
He insisted that the fight scenes must be smooth, elegant, and ideally resemble those of Jet Li.
Hearing this request, the martial arts director rolled his eyes. There was only one “Kung Fu Emperor” in the entire country.
He was just a small-time martial arts director, and he didn’t have the ability to achieve such a thing.
But since the other party was the executive producer, and he still needed to rely on them for a living, he could only try his best.
From within the crowd, Han Xue, who had been casually observing, flashed her gaze back and forth. She had never really been enthusiastic about this production.
With her resources and background, she could even compete for roles in scripts by Gu Long or Jin Yong.
Now, it seemed this “Xia Ying” wasn’t bad after all. At least, she had just seen in that youth the same “effort” and “professionalism” she possessed.
She needed to find an opportunity to get to know him.
With this in mind, she turned to her assistant.
“Xiao Li, that person, I want all his information.”
“No problem, Han Jie.”
Xiao Li helplessly complied.
Logically speaking, Han Xue wasn’t A-list.
As a manager, he should have been on equal footing with his artist.
But, since she had connections, he could only act like a grandson, running all sorts of errands for her.
…
The filming time went by quickly. The next day, filming began.
Since time and funds weren’t overly abundant, they mainly focused on filming an entire scene at once.
It was rare to return to the same location for reshoots.
It had been the same for Luo Yun Chu during the filming of “Tian Long Ba Bu”—they concentrated on filming a scene in its entirety first.
The scene with Jiang Xin was an exception. They were both quite nervous at the time, as it was their first time.
After filming that intimate scene, they continued filming in the same location the next day.
Luo Yun Chu was changing his clothes. He had a fight scene today that would require him to be harnessed.
Just as he had finished changing and was about to leave the fitting room, someone pushed him against the wall and covered his mouth, preventing him from making a sound.
If the genders were reversed, they could have been employed by the government.
A proper position would have been a piece of cake.
“Shhh.” Fan Bing Bing motioned for him to stay quiet. These past few days, Liu Xiao Li had been watching closely, and she had never had the opportunity to approach Luo Yun Chu.
Now, she had finally found a chance, and if the little guy got scared and made a sound, leading to her being discovered, it would be over.
Luo Yun Chu blinked his eyes, appearing quite innocent.
She rushed in, pinned him against the wall, and wouldn’t let him speak, easily making people associate this with something inappropriate.
Fan Bing Bing instructed him.
“I’m going to let go of you now. Don’t make a sound, okay?”
“If you agree, blink twice.”
After saying those words, she realized how strange they sounded. It was as if a typical hoodlum was dealing with a little girl…
Luo Yun Chu blinked twice, and Fan Bing Bing finally released the hand covering his mouth.
Luo Yun Chu pulled back slightly, then asked.
“Go on, Sis, what do you want?”
Fan Bing Bing couldn’t help but take a step closer, saying.
“I just wanted to tell you that your aunt may have some ill intentions towards you.”
“Impossible.” Luo Yun Chu immediately denied it. Anyone could potentially have malicious intentions towards him, but his aunt was absolutely impossible.
“You say your aunt has ill intentions towards you, but it’s you who looks like the one with ill intentions.”
Fan Bing Bing was speechless for a moment, unsure how to explain. She couldn’t possibly say she could tell from her eyes.
She just wanted to give the little guy a heads-up, for him to be careful, but she ended up getting herself involved.
After a moment of silence, she said.
“Even if I don’t know if she’s really good to you, I at least understand women, don’t I?”
Luo Yun Chu shook his head and refused to engage. While Auntie Fan had helped him.
This wasn’t a reason to slander his aunt.
Fan Bing Bing felt a bit frustrated. Why couldn’t he trust her once?
“I’m not talking bad about her. I just want you to pay attention. Sometimes, the way she looks at you is like… like mine.”
Luo Yun Chu turned his head to look at Fan Bing Bing, his eyes questioning. What kind of look?
He didn’t know how to describe it, as if she was looking at his private property?
“So, you’re saying that Sis, you too…”
Fan Bing Bing shook her head.
“You’re related to her. People will point fingers if something happens between you two. We’re different, whatever we do is normal, no one will say anything.”
“What do you think?”
She slowly leaned closer, almost touching Luo Yun Chu’s face when she finished speaking. Her hot breath was discernible, not unpleasant, a minty scent.
“Think about it yourself. Your album is about to be released, I’ll be the first to support you.”
Just as it seemed they were about to kiss, Fan Bing Bing pulled back. She was the type to not give anything for nothing.
Dating was fine, but public announcement was a different matter.
It required the other party to have a certain level of fame and status.
After all, her career was still on the rise, and her persona was that of a single woman.
Luo Yun Chu rolled his eyes. He didn’t know where this aunt got her confidence, thinking she had him all figured out.
He strode out of the fitting room.
He happened to bump into Liu Xiao Li returning from outside, feeling inexplicably uneasy.
Liu Xiao Li was fiddling with a camera. Upon seeing Luo Yun Chu, she immediately raised it to take a picture.
“Click.”
Luo Yun Chu asked in confusion.
“Auntie, what are you doing with a camera?”
Liu Xiao Li smiled.
“Recording all of this, preserving the beauty. When you grow up, you can look at these photos and you’ll thank Auntie.”
Upon hearing this, Luo Yun Chu didn’t ask anymore. As long as it wasn’t like Teacher Chen, recording his life.
Click, click, click—the film seemed to be inexhaustible.
When it was time to officially begin filming.
Liu Xiao Li stood on the edge of the set, occasionally snapping a picture.
But the more she recorded…
The more secrets and worries filled her heart.

I’ll get better when it goes on sale.
