Chương 115: Chapter 115: Can't Swim.
Xu Xiuwen walked up to a small stall selling lotus leaf-wrapped chicken.
He turned to Bai Yue'er and asked, "Would you like to have one?"
Bai Yue'er shook her head, "It's too oily, I won't eat it."
"Okay," Xu Xiuwen nodded, indicating he understood, then turned to the boss and said, "Boss, bring us a lotus leaf-wrapped chicken."
After buying breakfast, Xu Xiuwen and Bai Yue'er headed to the film set.
On the way, Xu Xiuwen quickly finished the lotus leaf-wrapped chicken, patting his stomach feeling unsatisfied.
Bai Yue'er noticed and took the initiative to pinch a piece of red date cake and handed it to him, saying, "I'm full, you have it."
Xu Xiuwen also didn't hesitate, he ate the red date cake in one bite, his lips brushing against the girl's fingertips once again.
Bai Yue'er's face instantly turned as red as blood.
She quickly turned her head to look elsewhere and handed the bag of red date cakes to Xu Xiuwen. "You take it and eat."
Xu Xiuwen didn't mind, took the bag of red date cakes, and started eating.
Arriving at the filming location, most of the people had already gathered.
Xu Xiuwen had finished eating the red date cakes, and Bai Yue'er had also adjusted her mood.
This morning's scene involved two characters, but Xu Xiuwen had fewer lines; the focus was mainly on Bai Yue'er. After days of shooting, Xu Xiuwen's acting has improved significantly, although it's still challenging to act opposite Bai Yue'er.
Fortunately, the character of Dao Ming Si only requires arrogance and aloofness, making it manageable in most scenes.
So, it went smoothly with just three tries.
In the blink of an eye, it was already noon.
Tang Weiwei arrived with pre-ordered boxed lunches, a total of 30 boxed lunches all packed in one tricycle, with Lu Hu riding the tricycle.
Since the first time she wasted a boxed meal, Tang Weiwei has always ordered just the right amount. At first, Xu Xiuwen didn't know the reason, but later he heard from people on the set that Tang Weiwei sends out text messages every morning to take a count.
And Tang Weiwei uses Bai Yue'er's phone. These days, Bai Yue'er's phone has been almost always with Tang Weiwei.
Xu Xiuwen thought for a moment and felt that this was very inconvenient. He was considering buying a cellphone for Tang Weiwei.
Money is not an issue, of course, but convincing Tang Weiwei to accept it is the real challenge.
Xu Xiuwen and Bai Yue'er only received boxed meals in the end.
Three people walked to the corner holding lunch boxes, ready to eat lunch.
Xu Xiuwen saw sweat on Tang Weiwei's face and took the initiative to wipe it off for her.
Tang Weiwei was naturally beautiful and never used makeup. Her face was smooth and delicate, her skin like blowing bubbles, so there was no need to worry about getting powder on his hand when wiping.
"Thank you," Tang Weiwei said very politely.
Suddenly noticing that Bai Yue'er seemed a bit too quiet.
"What's wrong? Why so quiet today?" Xu Xiuwen asked.
Bai Yue'er glanced at him, her face showing a worried expression.
"What's the matter? Not feeling well?" Xu Xiuwen realized something was off.
Bai Yue'er shook her head, lowering her gaze, hesitant.
"Yue'er, what's wrong with you?" Tang Weiwei also expressed concern.
Bai Yue'er glanced at Tang Weiwei, then at Xu Xiuwen, and suddenly said, "Xiuwen, what about the scene this afternoon?"
"Just shoot as usual, anyway, you're naturally talented, unlike me who always needs retakes," replied Xu Xiuwen.
Bai Yue'er bit her lip, "I can't shoot the scene this afternoon."
"Why can't you?"
"I... I can't swim!" Bai Yue'er finally confessed.
Xu Xiuwen was startled and couldn't help but exclaim, "You can't swim?"
In Xu Xiuwen's novel, Shan Cai is a girl with a dream of swimming. Today's scenes are concentrated in the swimming pool, and even the production crew has rented out the swimming pool. After lunch, the crew is supposed to move to the swimming pool.
Bai Yue'er had read the script in advance and knew that Shan Cai needed to swim. She had never said she couldn't swim, so everyone in the crew assumed she could.
But now, right before shooting, she actually said she couldn't swim?
Xu Xiuwen was completely shocked.
Bai Yue'er felt the questioning gaze of Xu Xiuwen and became increasingly flustered.
She whispered in explanation, "I'm sorry, I... I was afraid you wouldn't let me play Shan Cai, so I didn't dare to speak up."
Xu Xiuwen found himself at a loss because of Bai Yue'er's innocence.
It seemed Bai Yue'er had a realization, as she suddenly stood up and said, "I'll apologize to the director and everyone."
"Yue'er!" Xu Xiuwen hurriedly called out to her.
"Let's not mention this matter anymore, otherwise, everyone will definitely have opinions about you," Xu Xiuwen rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.
"What should we do in the afternoon then?" Bai Yue'er looked worried.
Xu Xiuwen opened his eyes and gave her a fierce glare, "Look at the trouble you've caused me."
Being stared at by Xu Xiuwen, Bai Yue'er felt as if she had been greatly struck, and she wilted instantly.
Tang Weiwei had been listening nearby and knew it was wrong for Bai Yue'er to hide her inability to swim, but seeing her roommate's guilty, worried, nervous, and even fearful expression, she couldn't bear it in her heart.
She softly advised, "Xu Xiuwen, don't be mad at Yue'er."
"I'm not angry, I just can't understand why she didn't say it earlier."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Bai Yue'er kept apologizing.
Xu Xiuwen interrupted her, "Enough, it's too late for apologies. Let me make this clear, this is the only time, it won't happen again. If you ever hide something from me again, I'll be really angry."
With that said, without waiting for Bai Yue'er to respond, Xu Xiuwen suddenly walked towards the director, Hang Fei.
Bai Yue'er didn't know what Xu Xiuwen said to the director, but she saw Hang Fei looking their way. She didn't dare to meet the director's eyes and quickly averted her gaze.
After a while, Xu Xiuwen returned.
Bai Yue'er remained silent with her head bowed.
Tang Weiwei, seeing this, asked proactively, "How did it go?"
Xu Xiuwen looked at Tang Weiwei and said, "I talked to the director. Yue'er isn't feeling well. Her scenes for this afternoon are canceled. We'll shoot others' scenes first."
Bai Yue'er lifted her head at the words and looked at Xu Xiuwen.
The girl, with red eyes, whispered, "Xiuwen, thank you."
Xu Xiuwen sighed, "This matter may be concealed today, but not tomorrow. Even if it's concealed tomorrow, it won't be concealed the day after. The urgent matter is for you to quickly learn how to swim."
Bai Yue'er was taken aback, "But I don't know how."
Xu Xiuwen really wants to knock her on the head and see if it's filled with nothing but water.
"Can't you just learn? We just rented the swimming pool and can't cancel. You will go learn this afternoon. Anyway, I have to make sure you learn to swim today."
Bai Yue'er dared not speak. She didn't know if she could learn in such a short time.
Tang Weiwei whispered, "Is this okay?"
"Not okay, but it has to be." Xu Xiuwen responded without hesitation.
Seeing both women looking a bit nervous after he spoke, he softened his tone and gently said, "Yue'er is so smart, she'll definitely learn how to swim. Don't worry."
Upon hearing his gentle words, Bai Yue'er felt warm inside.
She looked up at Xu Xiuwen, her eyes welling with warmth.
"Let's eat quickly, so we can go to the swimming pool sooner."
"I got it," Bai Yue'er immediately began eating.
Xu Xiuwen asked again, "Do you have your swimsuit?"
Bai Yue'er shook her head.
Xu Xiuwen turned to Tang Weiwei again, "What about you?"
Tang Weiwei waved her hand, "I'll pass. I have classes in the afternoon."
Bai Yue'er looked at her with pleading eyes.
Just as Tang Weiwei was about to give in, Xu Xiuwen suddenly said, "Alright, you go ahead and attend your class. It's not like we need that many people anyway."
Seeing Bai Yue'er staring at him wide-eyed, he urged, "What are you looking at? Eat up."
