The filming proceeded smoothly. They finished filming the scene after a few takes. Staff members rushed over to remove the wires from Su Xia’s body as soon as she got lowered down to the ground. She took two sips of water from the bottle handed over to her by Lil Yi and rubbed her back.
“Xiaxia,” Lil Yi said curiously. “Is it fun being suspended by the wires?” she asked.
Su Xia raised her brow. “…Why don’t you have a go?” she questioned.
“No, no, no,” Lil Yi waved her hands at her. “I am just curious. I think it would be rather fun to fly around like that,” she said.
“It would be just like a rollercoaster ride,” she added in a naive tone.
“In that case, I will let you have a go at it later,” Su Xia said humorously.
She raised her eyes and looked toward the director. She intended to head over to monitor her performance after receiving touchups from the makeup artist. However, her vision was suddenly obscured by a long, slender figure.
“Su Xia,” Ling Zhiyan called out, his voice warm and gentle. His well-defined facial features and languid movements gave out an air of elegance and grace. “Let us practice our lines together,” he said.
“Sure, Teacher Ling. I will come over now,” she agreed.
Ling Zhiyan is widely recognized as one of the actors with the best acting skills. He has been awarded Best Actor twice with his remarkable performance. While she was still attending school, her teachers often used clips of his acting as their teaching material. Su Xia had been feeling rather pressured ever since arriving at the filming venue.
His voice was packed with emotions when reading out his lines. She could not help but get consumed by the emotions of the scene and read out her lines with sentiment while they practiced their lines.
The director was beyond pleased at the sight of two actors with excellent acting skills working together.
“I will offer the both of you a role each in my next movie! You guys are not allowed to reject my offer!” he exclaimed after listening to them practice their lines.
“Please look for my manager for an in-depth discussion,” Su Xia said.
“Sigh, look at this girl! You are acting up again, huh!” the director chuckled lovingly.
Su Xia smiled at him.
She signaled an okay sign at him. “I am just joking. You have already requested for me to be in it. You are one of my closest associates. How can I reject your offer?” she laughed.
“That sounds pretty plausible,” the director admitted while nodding.
“…”
Noticing that Su Xia was rendered speechless, a smile reached Ling Zhiyan’s eyes. He lowered his eyes to place his gaze on the delicate face of the girl before him. He laughed lightly.
Su Xia had to stay in the film crew for a total of three days. Nonetheless, she did not have a tight filming schedule. She was already done with her parts when night fell. The others still had to stay back for the night to continue filming.
Ling Zhiyan and Lan Meng left to change into their outfits for the next scene they would be filming.
She walked out of the filming venue after bidding farewell to the director and staff members. Ling Zhiyan only caught the sight of her leaving silhouette after getting his outfit changed.
The hint of a smile flickered across the dark orbs of his eyes.
“Brother Yan?” his assistant reminded him in a low voice. “Stop looking, they are still filming the behind-the-scenes clips,” he added.
“I know,” Ling Zhiyan hummed carelessly.
He raised his eyes and looked at the empty exit. He then recollected himself, picked up his script and made his way toward Lan Meng.

“You will be flying to City A to film “The Great Escape” after completing the filming for the cameo role. Besides you, Gu Yu will be one of the guests as well. You have heard about that, right?” Xue Mingan said.
Su Xia clicked into WeChat without saying anything. She found her chat with Gu Yu and played the voice message she had received from him.
“Hey there, my dear friend. See you on Saturday~ It is your loss that you did not get to see this handsome face for such a long time. Do not fear, for I will soon be here as your savior!” he said.
“Keep your dignity, will you?” Su Xia replied.
“How did this annoying fella survive in the entertainment industry for such a long time?” Xue Mingan could not resist asking aloud.
Su Xia grimaced. “He must have survived with his lack of self-dignity,” she said.
