My Wife is My Life!
chapter-154

Jiang Su walked slowly towards them, holding a cup of ginger soup. He nodded at Ji Qingqing. “You acted very well earlier, and a reshoot may not capture the same emotion you portrayed earlier, so having 1 or 2 wrong lines is fine.”

Ji Qingqing’s gaze grew more bewildered.

The year Jiang Su received the best male lead award, didn’t he mention that he hated actors who weren’t dedicated and couldn’t even remember their lines the most?

Director Zhou glanced momentarily at Lu Lixing and proceeded to play the footage for Ji Qingqing.

Although the footage had not undergone post-production, Ji Qingqing’s portrayal of the despair and confusion after learning the truth, as well as the display of devastation and pain, was very vivid. Seeing her persistently maintaining a strong front, while visibly shaking, could make one’s heart tighten subconsciously.

The lines flowed smoothly and the expression was perfect, regardless of whether it was a close up or a long shot.

Ji Qingqing watched her performance excitedly. She felt really satisfied that all her recent hard work paid off. The saying that one’s diligence can make up for their own shortcomings, is really true.

Ji Qingqing raised her eyebrows at Lu Lixing, pride shone clearly in the depths of her eyes.

Lu Lixing narrowed his eyes, his mouth curved into a meaningful smile.

“I still love you Lu Lixing!” This ‘tearing’ sound was heard

——Hong long

“…”

Once more, the filming set fell silent.

Lu Lixing continued to sit there, unruffled, as if the name cried out in the footage wasn’t his. He ignored the glances that were seemingly shot towards him, making Ji Qingqing feel embarrassed about how thick skinned he was.

At that moment, Ji Qingqing felt as if her heart had been shredded into pieces by the sound from the footage.

No wonder Director Zhou and Jiang Su kept telling her that it was alright to say 1 or 2 lines incorrectly, and that a reshoot was not needed. This was what they meant.

So she just publicly called out Lu Lixing instead of Lu Xichen’s name again?

And Lu Lixing’s ‘I also love you’ was in reply to what she said?

Ji Qingqing felt that the lightning must have struck her head. If not, why would she say Lu Lixing’s name instead of Lu Xichen’s in front of so many people?

Then she turned and stole a glance at Lu Lixing.

As she stealthily peeked at him, Lu Lixing’s gaze happened to meet with hers. She was caught red-handed.

Ji Qingqing immediately ducked her head and withdrew her gaze, as if someone had grabbed her pigtail.

Not long ago, she was just instructing Lu Lixing to stop being overly excessive in public. And now not even 5 minutes passed before she ‘slapped herself’. Who was the shameless one now, huh?

She had already yelled it in front of the whole crew. Now, who was more shameless?

And Lu Lixing definitely misunderstood.

It’s fine for it to happen once, but this time she already said it in such an open manner. What was there to say?

Lu Lixing couldn’t have assumed that she was taking it as an opportunity to confess to him, right?

In that split second, heat from the bowl of ginger soup she was holding, rushed from her palms to her head. It was as if her face was burning.

Director Zhou laughed. “There’s no issue with saying this line incorrectly. Since there was no close-up scene, when the time comes, you can just change it with dubbing.”

Ji Qingqing nodded her head stiffly. She didn’t dare to raise her eyes to look at Director Zhou.

The night wind blew and there was yet again awkward laughter from those present.

“Don’t worry!” Director Zhou instinctively assisted her, “Although I can’t be compared to you young people, I’m not that old-fashioned. I have done such antics and lovey dovey things you guys like to play at during my youth, so I understand.”

Is he implying that he assumed she was using this opportunity to confess to Lu Lixing?

…That’s too much.

Even Lu Lixing didn’t misinterpret her actions, so what was with Director Zhou’s overinterpretation of the situation?

Lu Lixing then stood up and prevented Ji Qingqing from feeling even more awkward. “Director Zhou, if there aren’t any more shots, I’ll bring her back first.”

“We are ending work soon too.”

For now, the best option was to retreat.

Ji Qingqing quickly got up and hurriedly thanked the crew before rushing into her minivan.

Director Zhou watched as the minivan left the filming location and smiled. Ji Qingqing had been working together with the filming crew for over 2 months, but the past two days had utterly changed his impression of her. Could it be that love made one blind and likeable at the same time?

He shouted pack up and the entire filming crew started to move.

For the past few days, Shen Weiwei did not cause trouble. Apart from her own scenes, she did not appear in front of Ji Qingqing at all.

She was very clear about the current situation. Less than two days had passed since Ji Qingqing arrived, and she already managed to change much of the crew members’ impression of her. Many even proclaimed that it was just as if she had changed into a different person and became more approachable than before.
