Because Bai Yue'er was sitting nearby,
Her pretty eyes were constantly staring at him.
This made Xu Xiuwen very uneasy.
After finishing his makeup, Xu Xiuwen, fearing Bai Yue'er would say something, quickly found an excuse to leave the room, talking to himself as he went.
Once he was out of the room and could no longer see Bai Yue'er, Xu Xiuwen let out a long sigh of relief.
Whether it was forcefully kissing Xiao Youran or kissing Tang Weiwei for the first time, Xu Xiuwen had no psychological burden.
But Bai Yue'er was different. Not only was she Tang Weiwei's roommate, but more importantly, she was Shi Xiangming's fiancée.
If their kiss were to be known by classmates or roommates, Xu Xiuwen would die of embarrassment.
He was now a bit regretful.
The morning's filming proceeded normally, and Bai Yue'er did not behave unusually.
This gradually reassured Xu Xiuwen.
At noon, Tang Weiwei arrived at the set with the food delivery truck. After everyone had received their lunchboxes, there were still three left in front of Tang Weiwei.
One for herself, one for Bai Yue'er, and the remaining one was for Xu Xiuwen.
But Xu Xiuwen was nowhere to be seen.
Holding the lunchbox, Tang Weiwei asked a few staff members and found the room where Xu Xiuwen was.
Xu Xiuwen was in the study of the villa at that moment.
He was hesitating whether to go down and get his lunch.
*Knock* *Knock*
The door behind him sounded.
"Xu Xiuwen, are you in there?" followed by Tang Weiwei's voice.
Xu Xiuwen listened carefully and, besides Tang Weiwei's voice, heard no other sounds.
He sighed in relief and went to open the door.
When the door opened, Tang Weiwei stood there with two lunchboxes.
Just as Xu Xiuwen was about to speak, he caught sight of Bai Yue'er standing around the corner from the corner of his eye.
He instinctively swallowed and said with a wry smile, "Weiwei, why did you come up?"
Tang Weiwei gently shook the lunchbox in her hand and said with a smile, "You didn't get your lunch, so I brought it up for you."
"Thank you, Weiwei," Xu Xiuwen said gratefully, but his attention was entirely on Bai Yue'er.
The girl had not spoken, and her expression was very calm.
From Tang Weiwei's smile, it wasn't hard to guess that she was unaware of what happened last night.
This meant Bai Yue'er hadn't told her.
"Do you want to come in?"
Xu Xiuwen kept his hand on the doorknob, ready to close the door as soon as Bai Yue'er said no.
However, Bai Yue'er smiled and nodded, saying, "Of course."
Xu Xiuwen could only watch helplessly as Bai Yue'er entered the study as well.
The three of them ate their lunchboxes at the coffee table in the study.
Xu Xiuwen was still very nervous, fearing Bai Yue'er might let something slip.
Fortunately, Bai Yue'er did not mention anything about the previous night. She ate her lunch and chatted with Tang Weiwei, talking about classmates and classes.
Halfway through eating, Bai Yue'er suddenly changed the subject and asked Tang Weiwei, "Weiwei, do you know what scenes are scheduled for the afternoon?"
Tang Weiwei, who only handled the accounts and wasn't familiar with the schedule, naturally shook her head.
Bai Yue'er glanced at Xu Xiuwen and said with a smile, "In the afternoon, Xu Xiuwen and I have a kissing scene. Won't you be jealous?"
"Huh?" Tang Weiwei was startled, instinctively glancing at Xu Xiuwen, her face slightly flushed.
"Hehe, are you already jealous?"
Tang Weiwei's cheeks turned red, and she hurriedly waved her hand in denial, "I'm not."
Bai Yue'er did not suspect her, nodding, "That's good. I was worried you'd be upset."
Tang Weiwei lowered her head and said softly, "It's fine as long as you don't mind, sister Yue'er."
Bai Yue'er was momentarily stunned, then laughed lightly, saying, "It's just acting. It's fine; it's all for art."
Seeing that Xu Xiuwen hadn't said anything, Bai Yue'er suddenly directed her question at him, "Xu Xiuwen, don't you agree?"
Xu Xiuwen, already worried, became even more uneasy upon hearing the mention of the kissing scene.
He couldn't even taste the food; he hurriedly finished his lunch and said, "I need to step out for a moment."
Then he quickly left the study.
Bai Yue'er watched him leave, smiling, "It looks like Xu Xiuwen got shy."
Tang Weiwei was puzzled; Xu Xiuwen didn't seem like the type to get shy.
At that moment, Bai Yue'er asked, "Weiwei, honestly, have you ever kissed Xu Xiuwen?"
"Sister Yue'er!" Tang Weiwei panicked immediately.
Her shy tone was adorable to anyone who heard it.
Bai Yue'er laughed, "I'm just concerned about your feelings. If you haven't kissed Xu Xiuwen yet, then his first kiss belongs to me. Aren't you jealous?"
Tang Weiwei shook her head.
Bai Yue'er seemed relieved, "Then I'm reassured."
Tang Weiwei looked up and asked Bai Yue'er, "Sister Yue'er, does Shi Xiangming know you're filming a kissing scene?"
Hearing Shi Xiangming's name, Bai Yue'er's clear eyes flashed briefly.
She laughed and said nonchalantly, "I've told him."
This put Tang Weiwei at ease.
Bai Yue'er then suddenly leaned in close, "I'm filming a kissing scene with your good friend. Are you really not jealous?"
Tang Weiwei shook her head again, sincerely saying, "As long as you don't mind, sister Yue'er, I'm fine with it."
Bai Yue'er burst out laughing, "Xu Xiuwen is really lucky to meet a considerate girl like you, Weiwei. I'm even a bit jealous of him."
Because the rented villa was far from Jiangling College, to avoid being late for afternoon classes, Tang Weiwei didn't stay long and returned to school after lunch.
In the set, Xu Xiuwen continued to avoid Bai Yue'er. A few times, when he saw her approaching to talk, he deliberately avoided her.
This continued until just before the kissing scene.
Xu Xiuwen had already finished filming the scene where Bai Yue'er rescues him from the water, and the next scene was the kiss.
Because it was the first kiss scene between the male and female leads, the entire crew was very interested, and everyone gathered to watch.
Before filming began, Xu Xiuwen lay on the floor beside the pool, and Bai Yue'er knelt beside him.
Xu Xiuwen closed his eyes, suddenly hearing Bai Yue'er's voice.
"Why have you been avoiding me?"
Startled, Xu Xiuwen instinctively opened his eyes, meeting Bai Yue'er's clear gaze.
"Why would I avoid you?" Xu Xiuwen naturally denied it.
Bai Yue'er snorted, "Are you afraid I'll cling to you?"
Xu Xiuwen awkwardly laughed, "Cling to me? I don't understand what you mean."
He was puzzled, thinking it was Bai Yue'er who had said to forget about last night, but now she was bringing it up again.
Whatever her thoughts were, Xu Xiuwen had decided to act as if nothing had happened.
Bai Yue'er gave him a deep look and said no more.
Just then, the director spoke, and the camera and lighting were all in place, ready to shoot.
Xu Xiuwen quickly closed his eyes to start the scene.
If last night's kiss was memorable, then the kiss in the filming was dry and unappealing. It not only lacked any romantic feeling but made Xu Xiuwen tense all over.
As a result, they had to reshoot three or four times without getting it right.
