After Secretly Having the Film Emperor’s Child 53p2

Chapter 53 Part 2: Derailed

If he said it, then it would be different from now. If he said it, then he and Feng Yan could no longer get along in the current way.

If he said it, it would mean starting another stage, and even formally taking on responsibility with Feng Yan.

Yu Weixi didn’t know if this was called selfish, but he really didn’t have the courage to say it.

“Alright.” After the makeup artist left, Yu Weixi changed back into his usual clothes and went to find Feng Yan and Niangao.

Yu Weixi’s lips had already been applied with a nourishing lip balm, and they were not as swollen as they were in the afternoon. They would probably return to normal tomorrow.

Yu Weixi and Niangao were taken by Feng Yan to an open-air skewer stall at the foot of the mountain that only opened at night. The thick smoke from the barbecue rose into the sky, and the aroma was overwhelming even before they got close.

Niangao’s eyes were fixed on it, drooling. It smelled so good.

“Little glutton.” Feng Yan held Niangao and pinched his cheek. “You can’t eat that much, little one.”

Yu Weixi also smiled.

The owner was a short and thin old man, holding a bamboo fan and grilling rows of skewers covered in sauce and seasoning on the grill.

Seeing the customers, the owner immediately broke into a big smile. “You’re here! Oh my, a family. What do you want to eat!”

Yu Weixi pouted.

Pfft, pfft, pfft. Who’s a family with him?

Feng Yan had Niangao and Yu Weixi sit down and went to get the food from the owner himself.

Feng Yan knew that Yu Weixi, even if he hadn’t had dinner, wouldn’t want to eat much at this time, let alone something so high in calories. And the little friend Niangao couldn’t eat much either, so he only got a few skewers for them.

“Oh my, your partner is so good-looking. Is he only eating this little?” The old man saw that Feng Yan had taken two plates, and one plate was obviously much less. He shook his head. “These young people are always on a diet, saying they want to lose weight, even though they’re already as thin as a pair of chopsticks.”

Feng Yan also shook his head.

He had actually taken more, thinking that he had to force Yu Weixi to eat a little more no matter what.

“Come on, Xixi.” Feng Yan placed the plate in front of Yu Weixi. Yu Weixi subconsciously moved back, dodging Feng Yan’s hand, his eyes still wandering.

Feng Yan cut the meat for Niangao and said with a smile, “What? Am I going to eat you?”

Yu Weixi turned his head away and didn’t speak.

“Xixi, you’ve been avoiding me all day. You’re avoiding me again.” Feng Yan put the cut meat on Niangao’s plate, then leaned over and moved closer to Yu Weixi. “What? Are you so afraid of me?”

“Who… who’s afraid of you!” Yu Weixi held a skewer of meat that Feng Yan had handed him and bared his teeth. “I’ll punch you to death!”

“Oh.”

Feng Yan rested his chin on his hand and said with a smile, “Xixi.”

“What!”

“Today… I’m sorry.”

Yu Weixi was taken aback.

What?

Feng Yan lowered his eyes and smiled. “I was the one who led you astray today.”

Yu Weixi: “…”

Don’t bring up what you shouldn’t!!!

Feng dog, you still have the face to say it! Huh?! You still have the face to say it!

“…Hehe.”

I don’t know what to say, so I’ll just give you two “hehes.”

Feng Yan rubbed his chin. “So… it’s my fault. Xixi, don’t be angry anymore, and don’t keep avoiding me. Accidents will always happen when filming, right? There are even actors who can’t get out of character.”

Yu Weixi paused, said “Mmm,” and lowered his head to eat the meat.

Feng Yan had managed to resolve the awkwardness between the two of them, and of course, most of it was Yu Weixi’s, with just a few words. With these few words from Feng Yan, Yu Weixi also felt more at ease, and the flustered mood of the whole day dissipated.

“After filming the last few takes tomorrow, we’ll be transferring to Hengdian.” Feng Yan handed Yu Weixi another skewer. “Eat more. It will be very hard tomorrow. We have to rush our schedule.”

“I’m not eating.”

“Be good. Eat more.”

Yu Weixi gritted his teeth. “…Are you my dad?!”

Feng Yan raised an eyebrow and looked at Yu Weixi meaningfully.

Yu Weixi: “…”

Yu Weixi sneered, “You’re my grandson.”

“Don’t make a fuss. Eat. You must eat.” Feng Yan brought the meat to Yu Weixi’s mouth. The old man had the air of a domineering president at this moment.

Yu Weixi rolled his eyes and took a big bite with an “om nom.”

“Come on, another one.” Feng Yan brought another skewer.

Yu Weixi said coolly, “If I get too fat and can’t dance, will you be responsible?”

“I will.” Feng Yan answered almost subconsciously.

“…”

Ah, it’s derailed again.

The speed of the car can’t be controlled at all.

“…”

Yu Weixi’s foot had been crushed by the stone he had lifted.

Yu Weixi said coldly, “Oh, thank you for your hard work, Mr. Feng, for learning to dance at such an old age.”

Feng Yan just smiled and didn’t speak.

The moon peeked out from behind the dark clouds. It was a fulfilling night, filled with the happy smell of skewers.

The next day, the main actors finished the final scenes in the prince’s mansion and the mountains.

At night, Yu Weixi and the production team went to the temple again to film the scene with the Earth God.

The Earth God told Bai Xiaotu that the prince was actually not an ordinary mortal. He was a god who had descended to the mortal world to endure a tribulation. It was said that his magical power was very high, but he couldn’t use it in his mortal body now.

Since it was a tribulation, there were three tribulations. The first was physical illness, which was why he had suddenly fallen ill before.

It was just that he had happened to meet Yu Weixi, an accident in his fate, so he had recovered from his serious illness without experiencing much pain.

Then will there be a second and a third tribulation? Bai Xiaotu thought.

Bai Xiaotu was originally a little scared, but in the end, he made up his mind—it didn’t matter. No matter what, he would stay by the prince’s side and protect him with all his abilities.

After filming all the scenes, the main actors rested for a night. The production team, on the other hand, was busy packing up. Then, early the next morning, before the sky was bright, everyone set off for the new filming location.

Yu Weixi held the airsick and uncomfortable Niangao, coaxing him while analyzing the script with Feng Yan.

The following scenes would only become more and more difficult to act, because there were more and more heavy and emotional scenes of great joy and sorrow.

Feng Yan was like Yu Weixi’s teacher, teaching him step by step, tirelessly.

Arriving at the hotel, the production team went to prepare first, and the several actors also joined the production team here.

The previous plot was all about the sweet encounter and interaction between the couple in the mountains. At most, they would fight with the concubines in the mansion. And after Bai Xiaotu got married, the prince had dismissed all his concubines and only loved Bai Xiaotu.

And the following plot was more serious. It was about the emperor falling ill and not having much time left. All the princes and princes went to the capital to visit, but it was not just a simple visit.

The old emperor’s life was coming to an end. Everyone was restless, forming factions, playing little tricks… The current capital could be said to be full of undercurrents, on the verge of exploding.

It was also at this time that Bai Xiaotu found out that the prince had always been a “leisurely and carefree person” outside, staying away from the capital and practicing martial arts and drinking in the mountains, but it was just a show for outsiders. In fact, the prince had already gathered a lot of power, and the forces in the capital had also been secretly roped in.

Therefore, from here on, the characters became more and more numerous. The crown prince and the second prince who were competing with the prince for power, the various forces in the capital, and the princess who was competing with Bai Xiaotu for the prince, etc…

It was night.

Bai Xiaotu and the prince sat in the courtyard, talking knee to knee, drinking to the moon.

“Do you hate me?”

The prince said with a bitter smile, “For bringing you to this dangerous place.”

“If the prince hadn’t brought me, then Xiaotu would have hated the prince.” Bai Xiaotu said firmly, “Xiaotu has said before, I will live and die with the prince.”

The prince smiled gently at Bai Xiaotu. He was completely different from how he was outside, completely relaxed and unguarded.

“Xiaotu… I’ve also thought about it, about giving up everything and running away with you, to travel the mountains and rivers, to only envy mandarin ducks and not immortals. But…” The prince sighed. “I can’t not fight. It’s for my dead mother, and also to… protect you.”

Bai Xiaotu was taken aback and nodded.

“Xiaotu understands.” If he didn’t fight, he would die. His prince could tolerate others, but others might not tolerate him. Giving up everything would be to truly put himself in a deadly situation.

“Xiaotu will follow you in life and death.”

The two clinked their glasses.

After filming this scene, while waiting for the next one, Yu Weixi and Feng Yan naturally remained in their positions, continuing to sit in the courtyard and wait. Not to mention, the soft cushion was quite comfortable.

The two of them chatted about the script, on and off.

“Yan-ge!”

Just as the two were chatting, they heard a clear female voice from behind.

A girl in a historical costume came running over with small, quick steps.

Ah, it’s the female supporting character who plays the princess, who falls in love with the prince in the drama, competes with Bai Xiaotu, but in the end, gives up for love and even dies to protect the prince, Yu Weixi thought.

This was a rather likable character, and this actress—Luo Lingyan’s persona was also a straightforward and unrestrained girl.

As for what her real persona was like…

Yu Weixi sneered.

In any case, he didn’t like Luo Lingyan.

At this moment, Luo Lingyan ran over and sat down next to Feng Yan. “Ah, Xixi is here too. Good evening, Xixi!”

Yu Weixi just raised an eyebrow.

Luo Lingyan didn’t mind either and turned to Feng Yan. “Yan-ge, we meet again! This is our third collaboration, right? I watched the replay. Yan-ge’s acting is as steady as ever.”

Feng Yan smiled politely and subtly moved to the side to distance himself from Luo Lingyan.

Yu Weixi rested his chin on his hand and raised an eyebrow.

Hehe.

They’ve worked together three~ times~

Yu Weixi looked at Feng Yan with an ambiguous smile.
