Endless Fall

104 Congratulate on Your Joining the Film Crew

“Getting in a Wrong Sedan Chair.”

“Which episode?”

“First.” Lin Jiao stared at the LCD screen. “This show was very popular before. I haven’t seen it yet.”

Pei Zhi played it without looking at the introduction.

He pressed against the top of her head and watched the crippled prince give up on himself.

Perhaps it was because he was too bored, he leaned against the soft pillow and fell asleep.

Lin Jiao turned to look at him and picked up her phone to check the message from Pei Yilan.

“Good news! I kissed him!”

Back to an hour ago.

Pei Yilan carried the thermos to the filming site.

Under the guidance of the staff, she found Jiang Ye’s lounge and knocked gently on the door.

“Please come in.” Jiang Ye, who was reading the script, sat casually on the sofa without looking up.

He was wearing a white coat, and his long hair hung on both sides of his shoulders. When he looked down, one could vaguely see the scars on his handsome face.

“Did you just finish filming a fight scene?” Pei Yilan put down the thermos and stared at the wound on his cheek.

Hearing a familiar voice, Jiang Ye, who was immersed in the script, returned to reality and looked up at the pair of concerned eyes.

“Yes.” He walked to the water dispenser and filled a cup for her. “Two more tonight.”

This drama was about the male protagonist becoming the disciple of a revered Master Master and his journey to become one as well as the interesting things that happened in the palace. The role Jiang Ye took on had much more fighting scenes than other roles.

Pei Yilan took the cup from him and asked, “How long will it take?”

“Probably until four or five.”

“Then you won’t be able to sleep.”

“I can sleep tomorrow morning.” Jiang Ye was quite used to staying up for shooting.

He looked at the thermos. “What is this?”

“Bone soup.” Before Pei Yilan left, she specially asked the chef to make it. “Eat it when you’re hungry tonight.”

Every thoughtful action of hers left a mark on the wall that Jiang Ye had built in his heart.

He met her gaze. “Thank you.”

Pei Yilan’s heart ached when she saw the scar on his face move every time he smiled.

She carefully touched his cheek. “Will it be dangerous during filming?”

“No, the production team did a good job in ensuring safety.” Jiang Ye felt a little ill at ease when she touched him, but he did not shun away from her.

Pei Yilan was relieved.

She casually glanced at his lips and moved closer to him. “Do you have a kissing scene with the female protagonist?”

“No.”

“Then what interaction do you have?”

“Hugging and holding hands.”

Jiang Ye drank half a glass of water. “There are very few romantic scenes in this drama. Our interactions only happen towards the end.”

“Is she pretty?”

“Not bad.”

Seeing that there was no emotion in his eyes, Pei Yilan was no longer worried about them falling in love.

She chatted with him about the story of the drama and planned to pave the way for her next move.

“Jiang Ye, I have a gift for you.”

“Why do you want to give me a gift?”

“To congratulate you… on your joining the film crew.” She rubbed the paper cup, and before she could make the move, her heart suddenly beat faster.

“There’s no need.” Jiang Ye smiled, his voice as gentle as ever. “You’ve already done a lot for me.”

“It’s different this time.”

“Different in what way?”

Pei Yilan took a deep breath.

She leaned towards him, not expecting him to suddenly turn around.

The kiss that should have landed on the side of his face landed on his lips, catching both of them off guard.

The sound of her heartbeat was magnified several times and was audible in this quiet room.

Jiang Ye did not expect her to kiss him.

He stared at her face in front of him. The tips of his ears were extremely hot like they were on fire.

“You…” He gulped.

Before he could ask, she held the bag beside her and blushed like a freshly cooked tomato. “This is my gift. Bye.”

Jiang Ye opened his mouth slightly, his eyes still wide open in shock. “Thank… you.”

In order to hide his embarrassment, he picked up the script and turned the pages calmly. “Be careful on the way.”

“I will.” Pei Yilan felt like she was stepping on clouds with every step she took.

She got into the car parked at the side of the road and screamed excitedly like a groundhog.

After shouting until her throat was dry, she clicked on the group chat excitedly to share her joy with her besties.

Lin Jiao: “Where did you kiss him?”

Qian Yue: “I guess face.”

“No!” Pei Yilan kept typing on the keyboard.

As she stomped her feet, she told them what happened. “His lips are so kissable!”

Qian Yue: “Then go back again?”

Pei Yilan, “He’s not prepared yet. I don’t want to scare him. Shy.jpg”

“Are you talking about this kind of preparation?” Qian Yue sent a few suggestive GIFs in a row, successfully changing the topic.

“Pajamas on the second GIF! Salivating.jpg, I think all of us need one of those.”

“Sure, I’ll find out where to buy later.”

“Where’s Jiaojiao?”

“Probably being kissed? Smirking emoji”

After coming back from the washroom, Lin Jiao started reading the chat. The more she read, the hotter her face became.

She clicked on a spanking GIF and was about to add it to her collection when she heard a deep voice.

“I see. You are into this kind of thing.” Pei Zhi wrapped his arm around her waist from behind and looked at the screen.

“No.” She closed the chat. “I just find it interesting and want to save it.”

Pei Zhi had reason to suspect that there were many more interesting things like that in her phone.

He whispered into her ear, “Jiaojiao, I want to see your sticker collection. Can I?”

Lin Jiao, who could not stand being whispered, agreed.

She looked down and opened it. “Most of them are emoticons. There are very few GIFs.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Pei Zhi’s fingertips lingered on a few eye-catching stickers.

When he zoomed in on it and saw what it was about, he looked up and stared at her meaningfully.

“Uncle, let me explain…” Lin Jiao did not expect her to have these stickers on her phone.

She tugged at his sleeve and said nervously, “I accidentally saved some. But I only sent them to my besties.”

Pei Zhi closed the collection page.

He held her loose collar and asked with an unreadable expression, “Is that all you have?”

“That’s all.” She usually got all her stickers and GIFs from Qian Yue.
