Chapter 42
"Why not?"
Sister Su swiftly installed the app for Zhi Yao and pointed at an icon with big yellow eyes, saying to Zhi Yao, "This is Weibo!"
Zhi Yao nodded in vague understanding, "Then how do you play it?"
"Don't rush first. Let me add you on WeChat and you can ask me directly if you have any questions later."
Just as Zhi Yao wanted to ask how to use WeChat, the door of the dressing room was suddenly opened.
The moment Zhi Yao saw the visitor, she immediately put away her phone and sat up straight, pretending nothing had happened as she said to Sister Su, "Ah, Sister Su, I think my makeup is smudged."
She couldn't let Pei Chiyao find out she was playing on it.
Pei Chiyao wouldn't let her play these things.
Seeing this, Pei Chiyao gave a cold laugh.
Other than being able to automatically replace the characters in the script with vegetables like carrots during filming, the little girl's acting skills in real life were so bad they were almost unwatchable.
He leisurely walked over and held out his hand to Zhi Yao, "Hand it over."
Zhi Yao blinked her eyes, looking everywhere but not daring to meet Pei Chiyao's gaze.
As soon as Sister Su saw Pei Chiyao, she immediately slipped into fangirl mode, instantly losing her bearings as she said, "Yes, Yao Yao, just take it out."
Zhi Yao: "..."
How dare Sister Su betray her even faster!
Zhi Yao glared angrily at Sister Su before reluctantly taking out her phone.
Seeing the phone, Pei Chiyao was slightly surprised.
He had thought Zhi Yao was secretly eating some junk food again but didn't expect it to be a phone.
The little girl was still muttering beside him, "I just wanted to play on Weibo. So stingy to not even allow this, Pei Chiyao!"
Her voice was not small at all and Pei Chiyao heard everything clearly.
Afraid that Zhi Yao's actions would anger her top boss, Sister Su quickly pretended to cough to hint at Zhi Yao to make excuses for her.
What a silly goose, you can't complain about your boss to his face!
Pei Chiyao glanced at Zhi Yao, "Hurry up and look at the script. Filming will start soon."
He didn't say anything and just put the phone back.
Today's scene...was the male lead and little fox spirit's first intimate scene.
The kiss scene.
Zhi Yao didn't think this would be difficult at all. She just had to pretend Pei Chiyao's taste wasn't that bad, at most...at most she could pretend she was eating braised chicken stewed with potatoes!
The little girl was full of confidence but the moment she stood on set, before they could even start, the director shouted the first "Cut!"
"Yao Yao, tone down your gaze. You're being forcibly kissed later. You should be completely oblivious now."
Zhi Yao hurriedly nodded and took a few steps back to increase the distance between her and Pei Chiyao.
Right, right now she should pretend she doesn't even know there's a meal!
She took a deep breath after getting into character then nodded at the director, "Ready!"
The director swiftly shouted "Action" and clapped the slate!
Zhi Yao's expression instantly turned confused as she looked at Pei Chiyao and said, "The human world seems so complicated. That sister was still feeding me delicious snacks yesterday, so why does she want to kill me today?"
She swung her tail, a mournful look in her eyes as tears nearly spilled out.
She still remembered how warm, fragrant and soft that sister's embrace was.
Pei Chiyao slowly walked towards Zhi Yao, looking at her as he said, "Didn't I tell you before? Only I can see you like this."
In the drama, Pei Chiyao played the crown prince while Zhi Yao basically played herself.
By a fateful coincidence, she had saved the prince who was out, and the prince adopted her.
As he raised her, he discovered...she was not a fox but a young fox spirit instead.
The beautiful and innocent little fox spirit caused quite a lot of laughs during her interactions with the prince.
In short, this was a light and funny historical romance with a plot that was humorous and funny but also full of sweet pampering. Combined with Zhi Yao and Pei Chiyao's good looks, it would be hard for this drama to not become popular.
After Zhi Yao said her lines, the teardrop at the corner of her eye hadn't fallen yet when suddenly, a shadow flashed before her eyes. The next second, Pei Chiyao was holding her head and kissed her.
At this, Zhi Yao was completely dumbfounded, even forgetting her lines.
"Cut!"
The director had guessed that today's kiss scene would definitely get lots of NGs.
After all, kissing in front of so many people created a lot of pressure.
Although these two definitely didn't know how many times they had secretly kissed off-camera, doing it with people around was still very different.
He looked at Zhi Yao understandingly, "Yao Yao, look through the script again."
The moment Zhi Yao relaxed, the lines instantly popped back into her mind. The little girl waved her hands apologetically, "Sorry, sorry! I was too nervous just now. I remember the lines! Don't worry, director. Next take, I'll definitely nail it in one go!"
She took a deep breath. She didn't know what happened earlier either but Pei Chiyao's lips were sweet and the moment she leaned in, she almost lost control!
Pei Chiyao gazed at Zhi Yao in front of him. The little girl was staring dazedly at his lips.
He suddenly leaned down to Zhi Yao's face, "Want to try it?"
He still remembered the little girl saying he didn't taste good at all.
Zhi Yao hurriedly nodded, "Can I?"
She wished she could just pounce on him and nibble now.
His lips curved into an imperceptible wicked smile, "I'll let you have a taste when we get home."
This made Zhi Yao even more eager.
After about ten minutes of rest, filming continued.
But for some reason, the moment Pei Chiyao kissed her every time, Zhi Yao would forget her lines again. And there were also times Pei Chiyao made mistakes, because he clearly felt Zhi Yao nibbling him.
That one kiss scene got dozens of NGs.
Zhi Yao licked her lips, finally no longer tasting that unique sweetness.
As she leaned in and tasted Pei Chiyao's lips, her mind was filled with nothing but eating. She couldn't remember her lines at all.
This made everyone almost suspect Zhi Yao was intentionally causing NGs to get more kisses from Pei Chiyao.
But how could they know this was Pei Chiyao deliberately messing with her?
He knew this little fox would lose her mind the moment she encountered food.
While everyone else couldn't tell Pei Chiyao was doing it on purpose, Brother Sun could with one glance.
Damn! This was the first time he'd seen Pei Chiyao resort to such tricks during filming.
Zhi Yao licked her lips, seeming to be savoring the taste as Pei Chiyao's gaze gradually darkened. He leaned down by Zhi Yao's ear and softly said, "We'll get it in one take next. I'll let you have your fill once we get home."
Zhi Yao hurriedly nodded!
There was no longer any taste on Pei Chiyao's lips. She definitely wouldn't forget the lines this time!
"Director, get ready. We'll nail it next take." Pei Chiyao coldly ordered.
The others still thought Pei Chiyao was getting impatient and were sweating for Zhi Yao.
The little girl quickly slapped her cheeks to get into character.
