Chapter 179
PEI Yi was feeling a little down. As he spoke to her, he took out his other mobile phone and scrolled through her social media account. He only felt much better after looking at the photos on her.
Nie dan and the others were still greeting him. Afraid that Jiang se would hear their calls, he turned around and gave them a warning look. He silently motioned for them to lower their voices before he took his phone and sat in a corner.
Nie dan and the others, who were playing cards, kept shaking their heads when they saw him like this.
“No, I didn’t,”
Jiang se lied without batting an eyelid. After mo Anqi dried her hair, she tossed the towel aside and squatted down in front of her. She looked at the bruises on Jiang SE’s legs and took a few pictures with her phone before squeezing out some ointment to apply.
“Really?”
PEI Yi asked her. Mo Anqi’s hand was already rubbing the bruise on her leg. Jiang se endured the pain and answered, ”
“Of course, what’s there to eat? I’m just playing a supporting role. All of today’s scenes are in the carriage, and the main focus is fan Zhiyun.”
She did not want PEI Yi to worry. Hearing her words, PEI Yi mumbled, ” “When the movie is released, I’ll only look at you and not anyone else.”
Jiang se was amused by his childish words. Mo Anqi gestured for her to raise her hand. She raised her hand and Mo Anqi rolled up the sleeves of her bathrobe, revealing her bruised arm.
“These two people are really ruthless. They’re really treating you like a criminal.”
Her skin was fair and smooth, and the scars on her hands were particularly eye-catching. Mo Anqi was depressed.
“If I had known earlier, I would have told director Lin to change two cameo roles.”
Lin xiwen had been quite satisfied with the filming today. However, he did not expect the two extras to scratch Jiang se to such an extent. He did not know if there were any other wounds on her body. Jiang se was still talking to PEI Yi. He wanted to talk to her more, but he was afraid that he would disturb her rest.
Some of her scenes in ” events of Beiping ” had to be filmed while she was out. She was tired after a long day and her voice was filled with fatigue. She yawned a little, which was heard by PEI Yi.
“Are you tired?”
“A little.” Jiang se sniffled. Perhaps it was because she had just taken the cold medicine, but her eyelids felt sore and she could barely keep her eyes open.
PEI Yi had no choice but to say, ” sleep early, then. Good night. Call me tomorrow morning.
“Alright,” he said.
She nodded and ended the call. Mo Anqi had already applied medicine to all the visible wounds on her body. Jiang se blew her hair dry and applied a Facial Mask and some skincare products. She then fell asleep.
In the imperial capital, PEI Yi was still in a daze while holding his phone. Nie dan and the others called out, ”
“Brother Yi, what are you doing? you’ve been out for two hours and you’ve only been staring at your phone.”
He was still scrolling through his phone after the call. He looked like he was out of his mind. It was as if his soul had left with Jiang se.
PEI Yi sat down. His phone beeped with a notification. He picked it up and saw that Jiang SE’s Twitter account had been updated. Mo Anqi had been helping her manage this account, so PEI Yi knew about it.
Mo Anqi had only sent a few photos. She was sitting on the hotel sofa in a bathrobe, talking on the phone with a faint smile on her face.
Naturally, PEI Yi knew who she was talking to on the phone. However, he never knew that Jiang se could smile so beautifully when she was on the phone with him. His fingers gently caressed Jiang SE’s face on the phone and slid down another picture. He saw that mo Anqi had taken a picture of her arm. There were a few bruises on it and it looked rather scary.
He stood up immediately. A moment ago, he was feeling sweet in his heart, but the next moment, his heart ached.
Jiang se had several injuries on her hands and bruises on her calves. On Twitter, mo Anqi wrote, ” The results of the first day of filming!
PEI Yi was stunned for a moment. He remembered that when he had called her earlier, she had clearly said that she had been sitting in the carriage for the entire day and had not suffered.
At that moment, his heart felt heavy and uncomfortable. When she was talking to him, she had hidden it from him. She had so many scars. When had she ever suffered such pain before?
Although she had taken her medicine the night before, Jiang se still felt uncomfortable when she woke up the next day.
Fortunately, Lin xiwen had already informed them that the crew would be heading to a Street in the southwest province during the day. The main scene was the first encounter between fan Zhiyun and Song Jin.
In this scene, doukou was forcibly taken to a carriage and sent to a brothel. However, because she refused to listen and was very stubborn, she was forbidden from drinking water and food, and almost lost her life.
The one who took care of her was the gentle Hong Dou, who was in the same carriage. Because of doukou’s beautiful appearance, the people in the building were worried that she would die. When Hong Dou took care of her, the people in the building acquiesced.
Fan Zhiyun’s scene that day was to beg the aunt in the brothel to allow her to go out and buy medicine for doukou.
The building was very strict with these women who were forcibly abducted. They were usually not allowed to go out easily. Hong Dou had begged for a long time, and the aunt finally agreed when she thought of doukou’s rare and beautiful face. She even sent people from the building to follow her before she left.
As soon as red bean left the building, she tried to escape and happened to meet Xiao Zi. She begged Xiao Zi for help, and with his help, she escaped the pursuit of the people in the building.
This scene was to be shot during the day. Jiang se had another scene to shoot at night. She did not have many scenes left for the day, so she could rest for the time being after she was done.
Mo Anqi touched her forehead worriedly. you seem to have a fever.
Jiang SE’s throat was a little swollen. She felt the pain of swallowing her saliva. Fortunately, she did not have many scenes, so she gritted her teeth and managed to get through it.
Her scene was to start shooting at night. It was past 6 p.m. And the sky was getting dark. She changed into her costume and the makeup artist had to put on some Foundation for her scene to show her sickly look. Mo Anqi’s cry of surprise came from outside, ”
“Brother PEI.”
The curtain was lifted, and a cold breeze blew in. Jiang SE’s shoulders shuddered. She turned around and saw the tall PEI Yi standing at the door.
“What are you doing here?”
Jiang se was truly surprised. PEI Yi lowered the curtain to block the wind and glanced at her. She was wearing the dirty costume from yesterday. Her straight black hair had also been specially tied into dry braids. Compared to the makeup artists and stylists around her who were wearing thick down jackets, her clothes were thin, and she looked a little disheveled.
However, the script required her to look as pathetic as possible. Jiang se did not think there was anything wrong with her appearance, but PEI Yi pursed his lips tightly.
When Lin xiwen’s assistant outside heard that he had arrived, he rushed to inform Lin xiwen.
He was the largest investor in the production team. Everyone guessed that he was here to inspect the progress of the movie’s filming. To their surprise, he asked about Jiang se the moment he arrived.
“Let me take a look.”
PEI Yi felt a lump in his throat. He turned his head away and took a deep breath. After a while, he turned around and forced a smile.
“How many more scenes are there to shoot?”
