Rebirth: At the beginning, the cool school beauty was caught stealing in the supermarket

Chapter 444: The Kiss!
Meanwhile, at Zhuhai University Library.

Lu Yuanqiu and Bai Qingxia sat facing each other, both wearing the uniforms from the promotional video, with a book in front of them.

A camera was set up a dozen meters behind us.

The other "couple" wasn't here; they were filming in another reading room.

Lu Yuanqiu didn't know how Zheng Yifeng's filming was going, but his filming wasn't going very well because Bai Qingxia seemed a bit distracted today.

In fact, he had already anticipated this.

It's a director's job to inform others in advance about kissing scenes; it's their duty, and there's no way to hide it.

However, if Bai Qingxia is notified in advance that there will be a kissing scene, she will keep thinking about it all the time, which makes the previous filming process less natural.

The first scene in the morning was a long shot in the library, which didn't matter, since they couldn't capture facial expressions. Lu Yuanqiu looked up and glanced at the opposite side. The current task was clearly to act out reading a book, but Bai Qingxia's gaze had already gone out of focus above the book.

She could get into character when she first sat down, but the scene had been filmed for half an hour, and the director was still adjusting something and hadn't yelled "cut" yet. Lu Yuanqiu could still pretend to turn the pages of his book, but Bai Qingxia hadn't touched the pages for ten minutes.

"clatter!"

Lu Yuanqiu tapped the table lightly with his index finger.

Bai Qingxia's long, curled eyelashes trembled, and her gaze quickly returned to the pages of the book. She turned the pages, but accidentally turned too many, and the whole book slammed shut with a "snap".

The girl opened her eyes slightly, her eyelashes fluttering even faster. She quickly opened the book and put it back in place, her gaze refocusing on the words.

Five minutes later, the director yelled, "Cut! That's a wrap!"

Two couples bumped into each other in the library restroom.

Lu Yuanqiu and Bai Qingxia stared at Zheng Yifeng and Su Miaomiao across from them. The four of them paused for a moment, then separated and went into the corresponding men's and women's restrooms.

"Splash—" Lu Yuanqiu took a small step forward, rolled his eyes, and let out a comfortable sound.

Zheng Yifeng fastened his belt and couldn't help but ask, "Why are you so happy even when you go to the toilet?"

Lu Yuanqiu turned his head: "This is what it means to enjoy life. Why keep your brow furrowed even when you're relaxing? Unless you have an enlarged prostate."

Zheng Yifeng: "..."

Lu Yuanqiu pulled up his pants and asked, "Do you want to film this for real?"

Zheng Yifeng wiped his hands with a tissue and replied with his head down: "It's a misalignment. If it were a real shot, it wouldn't quite align with the principles I've been following lately."

What's the philosophy?

"The Art of War." The handsome guy curled the corners of his mouth.

Lu Yuanqiu widened his eyes slightly, finally understanding why the two had been behaving strangely lately. He then thought of Zheng Yifeng's signature and asked, "Is the period of enduring hardship not over yet?"

Zheng Yifeng suddenly fell silent, this time without answering. After that night at the campsite, he discovered new problems, those very real issues that Su Miaomiao had raised.

The female teacher wasn't being pretentious; she had simply been trapped in a cage for too long.

This left Zheng Yifeng somewhat confused.

Neither of them rushed out of the restroom. They leaned against the wall in silence for a few seconds before Zheng Yifeng asked, "What about you, Lu Yuanqiu? Are you going to film this?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuanqiu sighed deeply, crossed his arms, braced his right foot against the wall, and stared at the ceiling, seemingly even more silent than Zheng Yifeng had just been.

After staring at the ceiling for a moment, Lu Yuanqiu murmured, "Let's take a real shot. With such a handsome face, who could resist?"

Zheng Yifeng raised an eyebrow and nodded, saying, "Congratulations."

Lu Yuanqiu turned his head and asked, "Where did the director say the kissing scene was again?"

Zheng Yifeng: "Over there in the flower bed, in the area where the maple trees are planted."

As the two emerged from the men's restroom, they were both suddenly startled. Bai Qingxia and Su Miaomiao were standing side by side at the restroom entrance, waiting for them.

Su Miaomiao said irritably, "Did they all fall into the toilet?"

Lu Yuanqiu pointed to the side: "Zheng Yifeng's foot just fell into the pit, and I'm helping him pull it out."

Su Miaomiao and Bai Qingxia both looked down at Zheng Yifeng's feet, only then realizing that Lu Yuanqiu was joking. Su Miaomiao turned around speechlessly and walked towards the reading room. Teacher Su was indeed pretending to be quite calm, her face revealing nothing... Lu Yuanqiu thought of Zheng Yifeng's description of Su Miaomiao in the restroom just now.

Unlike the little swan, whose nervousness was practically written all over her face.

After Zheng Yifeng left with Su Miaomiao, Lu Yuanqiu looked at Bai Qingxia, who was still standing there waiting for him to leave together. The girl was holding his hand in front of her and smiled slightly.

So gentle.

Lu Yuanqiu walked to her side, his gaze involuntarily drifting to Bai Qingxia's lips. Her lips, coated with lip gloss, looked even more alluring than before.

However, Bai Qingxia seemed to notice Lu Yuanqiu's gaze. She unconsciously lowered her head and gently bit her lower lip. Lu Yuanqiu tactfully looked away, a faint smile on his face. Bai Qingxia turned her head to secretly look at him, and quickly looked away as well. The two walked forward slowly and in unison, without saying a word.

It was almost noon when Liu Wangchun overslept and had been sleeping until now. After hearing from the director that they had reached the last scene, she quickly tidied herself up and rushed over, afraid of missing the most important moment.

The equipment is already set up and the camera is ready at the large flower bed.

A bronze statue stands directly in front of the flower bed, depicting the first president of Zhuhai University. Behind him is a characteristic feature of the Wanfeng Campus: a patch of red maple trees growing within the flower bed.

Liu Wangchun ran over with the speed of the wind, kicking up a large patch of red maple leaves on the ground. There's an unwritten rule at the Wanfeng Campus that fallen maple leaves cannot be swept up as trash.

"Which step?"

Liu Wangchun, panting, approached the director.

The director stared at the camera and said softly, "We're about to film the final kissing scene. They can start anytime they're ready, and the actors will take the shots themselves to ensure the footage looks natural."

"Okay okay."

Liu Wangchun quickly moved a stool over and sat down, her eyes fixed on the two couples in the camera lens. However, from this angle, she couldn't see where they were kissing, so she dropped the stool and ran to a better spot to look expectantly.

Lu Yuanqiu held Bai Qingxia's right hand, and together they looked at Zheng Yifeng's direction from afar. The red maple leaves beneath the two men swayed in the wind, as if they were standing in a painting.

The female teacher, who had been calm for a while, gathered her wind-blown hair. She seemed to be unable to keep up the act any longer, and her lips trembled slightly. She raised her head and looked at Zheng Yifeng, asking, "Zheng Yifeng, are you going to use a camera trick or film it in real life?"

Zheng Yifeng spoke up: "Misalignment."

Su Miaomiao paused for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, let's begin."

Zheng Yifeng extended his right hand, and Su Miaomiao placed her right hand in his palm. The photographers behind them immediately focused their attention and took pictures of Zheng Yifeng's back.

Zheng Yifeng brought his face close, and when they were about ten centimeters apart, he suddenly smiled and then kissed Su Miaomiao's lips with perfect aim.

Su Miaomiao's eyes widened in shock.

Zheng Yifeng closed his eyes.

Lu Yuanqiu, have you ever heard the saying, "Warfare is based on deception"?

Lu Yuanqiu smiled and looked away, then raised his left hand and took Bai Qingxia's left hand.

Bai Qingxia turned her head back, her hands trembling.

Lu Yuanqiu suddenly remembered a question someone had asked him when he was thirty.

"Brother Lu, if a woman as beautiful as an angel takes off her clothes in front of you, can you resist?"

Lu Yuanqiu smiled and responded decisively, "Sorry, I couldn't help it."

Now, at 18, I ask myself, what if that angelic woman was Bai Qingxia?

Suddenly, a maple leaf, as if from the distant horizon, was blown down by the wind and landed precisely on the corner of Lu Yuanqiu's mouth.

Lu Yuanqiu turned his head slightly, and Bai Qingxia was about to raise her slender white hand to remove the maple leaf when Lu Yuanqiu said, "Wait a moment."

He grabbed Bai Qingxia's arm, and Bai Qingxia looked at him. Lu Yuanqiu smiled, leaned forward, and gently kissed the corner of Bai Qingxia's snow-white lips.

Warm breath touched her nose, and the girl's eyes trembled.

It felt as if a maple leaf had kissed the corner of her lips.
