After waiting for a long time without hearing Bai Yue'er say a word, Xu Xiuwen felt somewhat speechless, but he guessed it might be something inconvenient to say directly. He thought for a moment and said, "Let's just take a stroll, and you can speak as we walk."
"Okay." This time, Bai Yue'er spoke up.
Xu Xiuwen accompanied Bai Yue'er as they walked along the main road at Jiangling College.
As they walked, they ended up on a small path.
Continuing their walk, they arrived at a quiet grove of trees.
Xu Xiuwen looked around and, seeing no one disturbing them, finally stopped walking.
"There's no one around now, so if you want to say something, say it quickly. After you're done, I'm going back to rest," Xu Xiuwen said.
Bai Yue'er kept her head down the whole time.
Hearing Xu Xiuwen's words, she looked around.
Seeing that indeed, as he said, there was no one around, she breathed a sigh of relief.
She looked at Xu Xiuwen, feeling extremely conflicted, but hesitated to speak.
Xu Xiuwen grew impatient, "You called me out so late, and yet you don't say anything. If you don't speak up soon, I might just leave."
"Don't leave~~" Bai Yue'er said in a playful tone.
"I can stay, but you need to speak up. What's the matter?" Xu Xiuwen asked.
Bai Yue'er, worried that he might actually leave, hesitated for a moment before finally saying, "Tomorrow's scene..."
"What about tomorrow's scene? Don't start talking and then stop halfway. I hate people who do that," Xu Xiuwen said.
Just as Xu Xiuwen finished speaking, he froze.
Tomorrow, they would be filming the scene where Dao Ming Si pretends to drown and deceives Shan Cai into giving him her first kiss.
Thinking about Bai Yue'er's unusual behavior, Xu Xiuwen already guessed what she was struggling with.
He was somewhat speechless, so he remained silent, just watching Bai Yue'er quietly.
Seeing Xu Xiuwen not speaking anymore, Bai Yue'er also guessed that he probably figured it out.
As she thought about what she needed to say next, she felt her face flush red again, feeling like all the blood in her body was rushing to her face.
She stole a glance at Xu Xiuwen, seeing his handsome face, then immediately lowered her head again.
"You know I'm still inexperienced," Bai Yue'er said shyly after a moment.
Xu Xiuwen responded, "Yes, I know you're inexperienced."
"Tomorrow we're filming a kissing scene, and I... I have no experience," Bai Yue'er said, enduring her shyness, then imitated Tang Weiwei, burying her head in her chest.
"If you're inexperienced, why don't you go find Brother Shi? Why come to me?" Xu Xiuwen asked.
Hearing the name Shi Xiangming, Bai Yue'er felt uncomfortable.
She looked up and said earnestly, "I don't want to give my first kiss to him."
"I don't understand. He's your fiancé. If you don't want to give your first kiss to him, then who do you plan to give it to? You're not seriously considering saving your first kiss for the filming, are you?" Xu Xiuwen said jokingly, but after saying it, he was taken aback by Bai Yue'er's response, "If it's you, I... I don't mind."
"Huh?" Xu Xiuwen was surprised.
He looked at Bai Yue'er, who had already turned her head away, avoiding his gaze.
"Are you serious?" Xu Xiuwen asked uncertainly.
Bai Yue'er remained silent, just nodding slightly.
Xu Xiuwen couldn't help but admire Bai Yue'er a little.
She was willing to sacrifice herself for the sake of the scene.
No, not sacrifice, just giving away her first kiss.
But this was still a significant sacrifice.
Xu Xiuwen was the male lead.
As for whether the female lead's first kiss should be given to him or to someone else, he couldn't, in good conscience, say he hoped for the latter.
But he couldn't show excitement or joy either.
In fact, he was mostly surprised, a little happy, but not overly excited.
"If that's what you really intend, then I can't stop you. Okay, I understand. Can we go back now?" Xu Xiuwen said.
"Xu Xiuwen!"
Bai Yue'er suddenly called out to him!
"What else?" Xu Xiuwen asked.
"You misunderstood me," Bai Yue'er said.
"What do you mean?" he looked puzzled.
Bai Yue'er blushed and said, "I don't want to save my first kiss for tomorrow. What I mean is... what I mean is..."
After repeating it twice, she still didn't finish her sentence.
Xu Xiuwen silently repeated the girl's words, not wanting to save her first kiss for tomorrow...
Suddenly, he had a flash of insight and vaguely guessed what she meant.
Xu Xiuwen widened his eyes, staring at Bai Yue'er.
Could it be? Could it be what he was thinking?
"What I mean is, I want to give my first kiss to you today."
Bai Yue'er finally said it.
Xu Xiuwen felt a surge of blood rush to his head.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.
He deliberately looked at the girl coldly and questioned, "Bai Yue'er, what do you mean? You want to give me your first kiss today? Have you forgotten about my relationship with Brother Shi? Can I agree to that? What if Brother Shi finds out later, how can I face him? Are you trying to stir up trouble between us?"
Bai Yue'er panicked and hurriedly denied, "I never thought of it that way, you have to believe me!"
"Then explain what you really mean. I'm starting to doubt if you're really Bai Yue'er, or if you're someone else wearing her face like a mask? Or are you testing me on behalf of Weiwei?" Xu Xiuwen said.
Bai Yue'er didn't offer any defense.
She sighed and slowly explained how she had been forced into an engagement with Shi Xiangming.
At the end, she emphasized, "I don't like him at all. If my father hadn't secretly accepted the betrothal gift, I would never have agreed to marry him. I hate his father!"
He really didn't want to get involved in these matters.
After all, Shi Xiangming was his roommate, Bai Yue'er was a friend with whom he got along well, and she was also Weiwei's roommate.
But after hearing Bai Yue'er's story, it was really hard not to feel a bit sympathetic towards the girl.
In this age of freedom in love, Bai Yue'er was forced into marriage with someone she didn't like by her gambling-addicted father.
But as much as Xu Xiuwen sympathized, he was also helpless.
He wanted to offer some words of comfort, but didn't know where to start.
In the end, he could only say a dry sentence.
"If you really don't like Shi Xiangming, and don't want to give him your first kiss, you should tell him clearly and see if he agrees to call off the engagement."
Bai Yue'er remained silent with her head down.
Xu Xiuwen continued, "Even if you don't like Shi Xiangming and don't want to give him your first kiss, you can give it to someone you like. Why me? Do you like me? "
Bai Yue'er suddenly looked up.
Xu Xiuwen was taken aback by her gaze.
"Do you really like me? What's going on? But how could you like me? You know about my relationship with Weiwei," he said.
Bai Yue'er stared at him, then suddenly chuckled.
Xu Xiuwen was baffled by her unusual behavior.
Bai Yue'er laughed for a while before slowly stopping.
She looked at Xu Xiuwen with her beautiful eyes, then pouted, "Don't be so presumptuous, who likes you."
Upon hearing this, Xu Xiuwen felt relieved, but there was a slight ripple in his heart.
If Bai Yue'er really liked him, although he would pretend to be unhappy on the surface, he would still feel happy inside.
At least it proved that he had some personal charm.
Perhaps this was just how men were, always hoping that the opposite sex who liked them would increase.
