She was caught in a dilemma, unable to explain.
In the end, to avoid arousing suspicion from Shi Xiangming, she had to eat the remaining red date cake.
Shi Xiangming indeed didn't think much of it.
But the occasional glances from Xu Xiuwen made Bai Yue'er's pretty face blush.
She lowered her head, concealing her shy expression.
Xu Xiuwen also didn't expect Bai Yue'er to eat the red date cake he left.
He was surprised, but he didn't make fun of her or tease her.
After all, the timing wasn't right.
He smiled and walked forward.
Bai Yue'er breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Xu Xiuwen walk away without saying anything.
She didn't know why she was so bold as to eat the food Xu Xiuwen had eaten.
Bai Yue'er couldn't help but wonder, does this count as an indirect kiss?
But then she thought, there are still kissing scenes to film later, and by then the first kiss would be gone, so an indirect kiss doesn't seem like a big deal anymore.
With that in mind, she felt much more relaxed.
Today's scenes were filmed at the swimming pool.
On the way there, Xu Xiuwen finished the cakes he bought and absentmindedly checked his phone, where he found messages from Xiao Youran and Song Siyu.
There were two messages from Xiao Youran.
The first one was sent in the afternoon: Xiao Xu, we're back in the dorm, and Shishi is fine now.
At night ten o'clock, there's one more message,"Goodnight, you must be tired today."
Song Siyu also sent a text, saying, "Xu Xiuwen, do you think I can learn how to swim?"
Xu Xiuwen replied to Song Siyu's message first, "You can definitely learn, as long as you put your heart into it and spend some more time. Actually, your performance yesterday was already better than most beginners."
Then he quickly replied to Xiao Youran, "I was too tired yesterday and didn't check my messages. As long as Shishi is okay."
After putting down his phone, Xu Xiuwen heard Shi Xiangming ask, "Xiuwen, where are we going?"
"We're shooting at the swimming pool today. The crew rented one, so we're heading there now."
Upon hearing that they were going to film a pool scene, Shi Xiangming immediately asked nervously, "Does that mean Yue'er will have to wear a swimsuit?"
Xu Xiuwen nodded.
Bai Yue'er couldn't help but ask, "Shi Xiangming, what are you thinking?"
Knowing that Bai Yue'er had sensed his thoughts, Shi Xiangming didn't conceal anything, "You'll have to wear a swimsuit for the shoot. What if there's a wardrobe malfunction?"
Xu Xiuwen reassured, "Don't worry about that. It will definitely be the most conservative swimsuit. I wouldn't agree to anything like a bikini even if she wanted to wear it."
Shi Xiangming felt relieved upon hearing this.
Bai Yue'er couldn't help but remark, "Why do you have the authority to disapprove of me wearing a bikini?"
Xu Xiuwen glanced at her and countered, "So you do want to wear one? If you really want to, I won't object."
Bai Yue'er couldn't help but think of Song Siyu's appearance yesterday, and then thought that if she wore a bikini, she would also be like Song Siyu, with all the key parts exposed.
She couldn't accept it, so she blushed and said, "Who said I want to wear a bikini? I just wanted to say, you're not my anything, why do you have the right to control what swimsuit I wear? You're too domineering."
Xu Xiuwen chuckled, "But I'm Dao Ming Si, and you're my Shan Cai, so of course I can control you."
Hearing him mention their roles from the drama, Bai Yue'er chuckled, "Who said Shan Cai belongs to you? The current Shan Cai clearly likes Hua Ze Lei, isn't Dao Ming Si being presumptuous?"
"I wonder who later chased after Shang Hai for Dao Ming Si, and felt sad because Dao Ming Si had a fiancée?"
Bai Yue'er snorted, "That's Shan Cai. If it were me, I would like Hua Ze Lei. Hua Ze Lei is clearly so gentle and treats Shan Cai so well. Dao Ming Si is just a jerk, thinking he's so affectionate, but he's been hurting Shan Cai's heart all along."
Xu Xiuwen shrugged, "Anyway, this is my novel. In the end, Shan Cai likes Dao Ming Si. Whether you're convinced or not, you'll just have to endure it."
Bai Yue'er wrinkled her nose at him, looking cute and coquettish.
Shi Xiangming listened to the two of them arguing, feeling a bit lost, and couldn't help but ask, "Xiuwen, Yue'er, what are you two talking about?"
"We're talking about the characters in the drama. The character I play is called Dao Ming Si, and Bai Yue'er plays Shan Cai."
Bai Yue'er, seeing Xu Xiuwen patiently explaining to Shi Xiangming, interjected, "I never understood why you chose such names. Dao Ming Si, Shan Sai, Hua Ze Lei, those names don't sound like they're from Chinese."
Of course, Xu Xiuwen couldn't tell the girl the truth, so he deliberately said, "That can only mean you're a vulgar person who likes vulgar names."
Bai Yue'er instantly became annoyed, "I hate it, you're the vulgar one!"
She turned to Shi Xiangming and asked, "What do you think? Are names like Dao Ming Si, Shan Cai, Hua Ze Lei nice-sounding, or are they weird?"
Shi Xiangming, seeing Bai Yue'er suddenly asking him, answered.
He certainly didn't hesitate to stand on Bai Yue'er's side,and nodded immediately. "Yeah, Xiuwen, I think Yue'er is right. These names do sound a bit odd."
Bai Yue'er, having gained Shi Xiangming's agreement, looked up at Xu Xiuwen with a hint of satisfaction on her pretty face.
Xu Xiuwen didn't argue but pretended to ponder. "Hmm, I've thought about it. What you guys said seems reasonable. So, I'll go talk to the director later and change the names. From now on, the male lead will be called Zhang Wei, the female lead will be Li Na, and the second male lead will be Wang Wei. Is that normal enough this time?"
Zhang Wei, Li Na, Wang Wei? Bai Yuer and Shi Xiangming were instantly speechless.
These names are too common!
They don't sound like the names from a drama at all.
Someone who doesn't know might think it's a rural love story.
Shi Xiangming hesitated for a moment and said, "Yue'er, I think the previous names were better. Although they're not common, they sound fresh, don't they? Zhang Wei, Wang Wei sound odd."
Shi Xiangming betrayed.
Xu Xiuwen smiled as he watched Bai Yue'er, curious about what she would say.
Bai Yue'er felt like she was back in the rural areas of Gan Province when she thought about the character she played, named Li Na, and the male lead named Zhang Wei.
She remembered two people from elementary and middle school, one named Zhang Wei and the other named Wang Wei, and in high school, there was also a classmate named Li Na.
The name isn't a problem, it's just too common.
Bai Yue'er was a bit speechless.
From Bai Yue'er's expression, Xu Xiuwen had already guessed her thoughts. He deliberately said, "These names should be very popular with the audience, maybe even many people with the same names will feel a sense of substitution. Your suggestion is really good."
Bai Yue'er, seeing that Xu Xiuwen seemed to be serious, also became a bit anxious and couldn't help but shout, "No!"
"Hmm?" Xu Xiuwen secretly laughed in his heart, but showed no hint on his face.
She looked into the distance, "Let's still go with Dao Ming Si and Shan Cai, they actually sound quite nice."
Xu Xiuwen still insisted, "No, I respect your thoughts, Zhang Wei and Li Na would be better."
Bai Yue'er couldn't help but turn her head to look at Xu Xiuwen, coquettishly saying, "You're annoying! I don't like the name Li Na!"
Xu Xiuwen burst into laughter.
Shi Xiangming couldn't help but laugh too.
Bai Yue'er's face turned even redder, unsure if it was because she was angry or embarrassed.
Bai Yue'er stomped her feet, pouting angrily, "Xu Xiuwen, you're so annoying!"
With that, she walked away quickly without looking back.
