Chapter 141: Kiss
Sister Mi: “…”
She paused, bent down to stare at Jin Xia’s flawless little face, and said, “Xia Xia, you are already very beautiful.”
Jin Xia: “I think I can be even more beautiful.”
“TF is the lipstick you usually like to use, there’s no problem. You’re just making excuses and being difficult now, do you understand?”
“I’m not!”
“Okay… then tell me what you want to do.”
Sister Mi was completely helpless with the Empress Dowager in this state.
Not only her, but even her family, were all at a loss for what to do with Jin Xia in her “drama queen” state, and could only let her have her way.
Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager pouted and said nothing.
“Then… we’re not filming?”
Sister Mi probed.
The Empress Dowager glanced at her, “If I say no filming, then no filming!”
“Heh heh… alright.” Sister Mi smiled for some reason, “Then I’ll go tell Chi Ye and the director…”
“Sister Mi, do you think you can ‘scare’ me by bringing up Teacher Chi?”
The Empress Dowager was furious, “If I say no filming, then no filming! It’s useless no matter who comes!”
“I know, I didn’t say anything… Well, if you’re in a bad mood and not ready, then we won’t film.”
Sister Mi thought to herself, ‘Act out, who can act out more than you?’
She should let Chi Ye see your “ugly state” and let him sober up too.
She turned around and prepared to go out to notify the program team.
“…Wait.”
Jin Xia stared at Sister Mi’s back. Seeing that she was really about to leave, she reluctantly called out to stop her.
Sister Mi was not surprised at all and turned back, “What is it? Is there anything you want me to tell Chi Ye?”
“Change my lipstick to Chantecaille, the Impatiens No. 2 color, the one with high brightness… no lower than this, understand?”
Sister Mi looked at her for a long time and smiled, “Aren’t you going to film no matter who comes?”
Jin Xia stared at her without speaking.
Sister Mi was stunned, and suddenly realized that Jin Xia might really be angry. This was the first time she had seen her like this…
She paused and said, “Okay… I’ll change it for you.”
“Thank you, Sister Mi.”
“…I was just joking with you earlier.”
“I know.”
“You’re not angry, are you?”
“No, how could I get angry so easily.”
“…Mmm, I’m going now.”
Sister Mi went to help contact the team to expedite the request, and at the same time, she made up her mind that she would have to maintain a good relationship with Chi Ye in the future.
This Chi Ye, what good deeds did he do in his past life?
Did he save the galaxy?
Shaking her head, she took out her mobile phone.
Two hours later.
The Empress Dowager, who hadn’t slept all night, finally finished her makeup. She had even specifically put on a perfume that she rarely used.
The film crew was unaware of what had happened with Jin Xia’s team earlier.
Director Liu rubbed his hands and watched expectantly, feeling quite restless.
–Not only did the script look good, but he was also engrossed in filming it!
It’s no exaggeration to say that the appearance, makeup, and styling of the male and female leads, as well as the costumes and props in the drama, had a disparity in aesthetics and effect that crushed all idol dramas on the market.
What do you call a visual impact?
This is it!
And this idea became even more astonishing when he saw Jin Xia arrive at the set.
She had already changed into Qian Songyi’s clothes and makeup for the drama, wearing a loose white bat-sleeve sweater. The neckline of the sweater was wide, revealing a side of her shoulder as smooth as mutton-fat jade, with a sexy line and a unique sense of fashion.
At this moment.
She walked over in high heels, her incredibly long legs, befitting a “leg goddess,” were exceptionally eye-catching.
Her fair, tender swan-like neck extended elegantly downwards, gently sloping from her collarbone, perfectly outlining her upper body curves. Her bust was full and rounded, like plump flower buds waiting to bloom in spring.
It formed a beautiful contrast with her slender waist and rounded hips, a proportion that could be called perfect.
Flawless appearance, perfect figure.
Like ripples left by a gentle breeze on a lake, it exuded a fragrant touch that was understated yet accelerated the heartbeat.
Furthermore, Director Liu even saw an elegant temperament in her, beyond mere fashion and sexiness.
“…”
“This… this is too beautiful.”
Zhang, the Assistant Director from Taipei next to him, opened his mouth and praised sincerely as he looked at Jin Xia, who was exceptionally eye-catching despite wearing “ordinary” clothes.
“Her figure is this good? I feel like she’s not inferior to Shi Jinwei.”
A female staff member said enviously, her saliva almost dripping.
Although Sister Qianzi was tough-mouthed, her figure was also considered a hard fact among the Four Little Flowers.
Jin Xia usually didn’t go for this style. She could have dressed the same as usual today, but for some reason, she ended up choosing an outfit that was conservative yet different from her usual image in Chi Ye’s eyes.
Well, she had gone all out for the sake of “fishing”!
“Is Teacher Chi’s side ready?”
Director Liu came back to his senses and asked about Chi Ye’s side.
“Teacher Chi… Teacher Chi is coming.”
Everyone saw Chi Ye getting out of the RV, and Chi Ye saw the Empress Dowager, who was batting her peach blossom eyes at him.
Chi Ye: “?”
Damn, what are you doing?
Dressed so beautifully, what do you want to do?!
Woman, don’t test my patience!
He smoothed his accelerated heartbeat, also wearing Professor Chi’s costume from the drama, and walked in front of Jin Xia with a seemingly unchanged expression.
“It must be hot wearing that, right?”
The scene they were filming today was the first kiss scene between Professor Chi and Qian Songyi in episode 8 of 《 Xing Ni 》, which was later hailed by countless fans as a classic scene—the “15-second Heartbeat Challenge.”
The plot was roughly about Qian Songyi pestering Professor Chi to drink, and after being refused, claiming she went to the hospital for psychological counseling because of him and was diagnosed with a strong dependence on him.
Immediately after, Qian Songyi changed the subject and initiated the “15-second Heartbeat Challenge” with Professor Chi, confidently stating that she would prove she was attractive to him.
She first showed a charming smile, trying to attract Professor Chi with her seductive demeanor. Seeing that Professor Chi was unmoved, she then looked at him with affectionate eyes, expecting a response.
However, until the countdown was almost over, Professor Chi remained calm. Just as Qian Songyi was about to give up in disappointment and turn to leave, Professor Chi suddenly reached out, pulled her into his arms, and kissed her without hesitation.
This scene heavily relies on the acting skills of the male and female leads—don’t think idol dramas don’t require acting, especially for 《 Xing Ni 》, the ceiling of ceilings.
Jin Xia’s explosive acting skills go without saying. She needs to adjust her emotions several times, with three or four emotional shifts alone.
Chi Ye needs to better express the contrast between Professor Chi and the “cold alien” shown in the previous 7 episodes, and the outburst of suppressed emotions within him.
If performed poorly, it becomes a “cringe scene.”
If performed well, it becomes a classic scene.
“Teacher Jin Xia, Teacher Chi, are you ready?”
The entire film crew gathered around, and Director Liu asked.
“We’re ready.”
Chi Ye looked at Jin Xia, who was sitting opposite him.
Jin Xia was also looking at him and nodded, “I’m ready too.”
“Okay, all departments, positions.”
Director Liu’s voice rose, “Action!!”
…
“Night” quietly descended, and soft lights filtered through the windows, casting a gentle veil over the entire space.
In Professor Chi’s home, Qian Songyi, like a lively fawn, once again clung to Professor Chi.
She tilted her head, a playful smile on her lips, her eyes sparkling with agile light, and softly asked, “You really won’t drink?”
Professor Chi looked a bit helpless. He remembered the last time he got drunk and misused his superpower, and shook his head without hesitation, “How many times do I have to tell you I’m not drinking?”
Qian Songyi’s expression changed instantly. She pouted and stared at him without speaking.
She drunkenly pointed at the various “junk food” on the coffee table: fried chicken, beer, cola, spicy hot pot, spicy strips…
“You know everything, you’ve seen me at my most embarrassing, and now you know my biggest ‘secret’!”
“You have to drink!”
Professor Chi remained unmoved, “Humans always like to eat gutter oil.”
“…”
Hearing this, Qian Songyi felt a little guilty, but immediately straightened her back, “So what if I like to eat it? It’s none of your business. Besides…”
Her eyes rolled, and she instantly switched to a sorrowful expression, “I went to the hospital for psychological counseling because of you and was diagnosed with a strong dependence on you.”
Saying this, she pretended to be angry and glared at Professor Chi, looking like a small cat that had been neglected by its owner, “Don’t you think you have a responsibility?”
Professor Chi looked at her calmly, “What responsibility? Long-term consumption of gutter oil can lead to intellectual decline. I don’t think I have any medical responsibility in that regard.”
This vicious-tongued “alien”!
Qian Songyi ground her teeth. Looking at him like this made her angry. A thought flashed through her mind, and she played a little trick. She suddenly stood up and moved closer to Professor Chi, “I don’t believe you have no feelings for me at all. Today, you must give me 15 seconds to prove that I’m attractive to you!”
As soon as she finished speaking, before Professor Chi could respond, she pulled out her phone with lightning speed. Her slender fingers danced rapidly on the screen, and with a “swish,” she set a 15-second countdown.
Then, with a “thump,” she placed the phone heavily on the sofa. Her movements were clean and decisive, clearly indicating that in front of Professor Chi, she had “removed” all her personas and disguises.
“You must give me 15 seconds!”
Emphasizing her dominance.
Professor Chi remained expressionless.
Qian Songyi gracefully twirled, facing Professor Chi.
She tilted her head slightly, her eyes half-closed, and her fiery red lips slowly curved into an extremely charming smile. The smile seemed to possess a soul-capturing magic, attempting to lock Professor Chi’s gaze in an instant.
Her eyes were full of confidence, as if she were declaring to the whole world—”I, Qian Songyi, am unrivaled in charm!”
It didn’t work.
Professor Chi was like a cold sculpture, unmoved.
Seeing this, Qian Songyi became anxious in her heart. The originally charming smile quickly faded from her face, replaced by a look of deep affection.
Her eyes widened, and her watery eyes gazed at Professor Chi with affection, full of expectation, as if trying to penetrate Professor Chi’s heart with this ardent gaze to explore his true thoughts.
Those beautiful peach blossom eyes stared at Chi Ye, and her red lips shimmered with a lustrous, alluring glow under the light.
She opened her small mouth, and the expectation in her eyes gradually turned into disappointment, frustration, and dejection.
She was waiting for his response, expecting his feedback, she had prepared for him for a long time.
Professor Chi’s expression remained the same, but his eyes moved.
A very subtle fluctuation, yet it instantly revealed that his heart was not calm at the moment.
Perhaps it was because of her persistence and stubbornness, or perhaps it was because of her peach blossom eyes… incredibly familiar, haunting peach blossom eyes.
–Jin Xia’s performance, almost without any trace of acting, Chi Ye believed that she would move all the audience, and even more so, move “Professor Chi.”
Outside the monitor.
Director Liu let out an “ah” as he watched Chi Ye’s subtle change in expression, clenched his fist fiercely, and looked at the two facing each other. A fiery, hot feeling inexplicably rose on his face.
He was moved.
This look was too good, and Jin Xia’s “performance” was too good.
Kiss! Kiss already!
Hurry up and kiss her!!
Why make her wait like this?!
Not just Director Liu, but the entire set, which had been noisy with staff chatter, had long since fallen silent.
Everyone around held their breath, staring intently at the two engaged in the 15-second challenge.
Time mercilessly passed, one second, two seconds…
Each second seemed to strike heavily on Qian Songyi’s heart.
Professor Chi maintained his unmoved demeanor, as if the surrounding noise and bustle could not stir his heartstrings.
As the countdown numbers grew smaller, Qian Songyi’s eyes gradually filled with disappointment and frustration. Her previously upright shoulders drooped slightly, and the light in her eyes gradually dimmed.
She thought to herself that perhaps her charm was no longer there, or perhaps “Professor Chi” had no feelings for her at all.
This disappointment didn’t even need acting; it overflowed the screen, making everyone’s heart clench.
Chi Ye, you deserve to die!!
But the next moment.
The damned “Chi Ye” moved. He seemed to be struck by lightning in the depths of his heart, and a flash of extremely complex emotion flickered in his eyes.
There was the struggle of long-suppressed feelings, an irrepressible impulse, and a trace of intense love that even he himself had not noticed.
Unnoticed? He was very restrained, he really wanted to be unable to hide it!
He could no longer control himself and suddenly reached out, his movements swift and powerful, pulling Qian Songyi into his arms.
Holy crap!!!
Director Liu’s mouth fell open, and he stomped his feet like a little girl.
Here it comes!! This is how it should be, “Professor Chi,” you are my god!!
At this moment, Jin Xia didn’t have time to react at all. Perhaps she could no longer distinguish whether she was in reality or in the drama.
In short…Teacher Chi held her for the first time, holding her tightly.
Teacher Chi kissed her for the first time.
The kiss was very light.
Her eyes widened instantly. The previously dim eyes were now full of shock and disbelief. She froze in place as if under a spell, her mind a blank, completely at a loss.
Hmm… this touch… is cool.
But, so soft, so fragrant.
Chi Ye was also a bit stunned at this moment. He had been reminding himself that it was all acting, that as long as the effect was good, it was fine. But… that moment just now, he was truly moved by his emotions, and it wasn’t acting at all.
—He couldn’t imagine how much he would hate himself if he let down the owner of those Peach Blossom Eyes.
He kissed her, with an impulse and passion that he didn’t know how long he had suppressed.
Their lips pressed together tightly. Chi Ye’s hands instinctively held Jin Xia tighter, as if afraid she would suddenly disappear in the next second.
Jin Xia’s whole body was stiff. Her hands subconsciously grabbed the corner of his clothes, a habit from before with Chi Ye. Her fingertips were slightly pale from nervousness.
But feeling the heart-stopping touch on her red lips, she seemed to also feel Chi Ye’s craving at this moment, and felt his increasingly fast heartbeat. She suddenly relaxed.
Her originally stiff body became soft, her wide-open eyes slowly closed, her long lashes trembled, and she began to respond to the kiss.
“Director, should I call…”
“Don’t talk! Don’t talk!”
Director Liu whispered angrily, “Don’t you have any observation skills? Do you want to go film in Africa tomorrow?”
The Assistant quickly shut up.
At this time.
The air around them seemed to freeze.
The entire room was filled with an extremely ambiguous atmosphere. Only the intertwined breathing and accelerating heartbeats of the two became clearer in the silence.
As if softly narrating this “sudden,” yet fated love.
Bang bang bang, bang bang bang.
Her heartbeat grew faster and faster, and blood rushed to her head.
Chi Ye couldn’t distinguish whose heartbeat it was, his or Jin Xia’s.
In short, he felt a little dizzy.
