Against the Current Hong Kong 1979

"Having a minor intimate encounter with Zhao Yazhi, I gained 150 Star Points, unlocking the skill [Top-Tier Massage Technique]."

"【Top-tier massage technique】: It can alleviate some basic sprains and bruises, and can also be used to relieve fatigue and even menstrual pain."

Zhang Shuai thought to himself, "This is a great thing. It's practically a magic trick for winning over girls."

"Huh, it really doesn't hurt anymore?"

Zhao Yazhi tried moving her legs, and surprisingly, they didn't hurt at all.

She then stood up and even tried jumping a few times, but still felt no pain at all.

Zhao Yazhi looked at Zhang Shuai'an with astonishment: "Your massage technique is amazing! You're practically a miracle doctor!"

"It only temporarily reduces the swelling and pain."

Zhang Shuai'an earnestly reminded you, "It will only last for seven to eight hours. You still need to find a way to apply some medicine so that you can fully recover."

"Seven or eight hours?"

Zhao Yazi thought for a moment and figured she could hold out until her scenes were finished. Then she drove home to treat her wounds: "That's enough. Let's go find Director Zhao."

The two walked out of the dressing room together, immediately attracting the attention of many people.

"Sister Zi, are you... alright?"

Chen Yulian looked at Zhao Yazhi as she approached gracefully and said with some surprise.

Fatty Wang, who was standing nearby, also asked, "You were just...?"

Zhao Yazhi, with a natural expression, as if trying to distance herself from something, said loudly, "Anzai gave me a massage, and it really helped a lot. I was thinking that since I feel good now, I might as well finish filming my scenes first, and then go home to treat my wounds."

Not long after, Chiu Chun-keung also came over after finishing filming a scene.

He asked, somewhat surprised, "Azi, your leg is better?"

Zhao Yazhi reiterated, "It was just a minor scrape. Anzai massaged it for me, and it's mostly healed now, and it doesn't hurt anymore. Director Zhao, why don't we finish filming my scenes first, so I can go home and rest earlier?"

"Okay!" Zhao Zhenqiang called over the script supervisor and production assistant, asking them to prioritize filming Zhao Yazhi's scenes next.

"You can even give massages, and they're so effective?" Chen Yulian's curiosity about Zhang Shuai'an was growing stronger, and she stared at him intently: "What other tricks do you have up your sleeve that we don't know about?"

Zhang Shuai'an smiled faintly: "I have many tricks up my sleeve. Perhaps I'll give you a chance to experience them for yourself?"

"Tch!" Chen Yulian understood the double meaning in those words and pouted, "Say dirty talk again. If you're really good at massage, give me a massage too. I'm so tired and exhausted."

"Okay." Zhang Shuai'an nodded without hesitation, then reached out and pressed her shoulder.

Chen Yulian was startled and took two or three steps back: "What are you doing? Trying to take advantage of me?"

"You said you'd let me massage you." Zhang Shuai'an rolled his eyes at her: "Are you suffering from dementia?"

Chen Yulian glared at him fiercely: "Hey, I was just saying it casually. Who asked you to press it? You're obviously trying to fool me (take advantage of me), aren't you?"

Zhang Shuai'an glanced at her sideways and said in a flirtatious tone, "You have no breasts, no butt, why would I take advantage of you? It's much better for me to take advantage of Sister Zi."

"You're asking for it!" Chen Yulian was so enraged by these words that she immediately turned around and was about to punch Zhang Shuai'an twice.

Zhang Shuai'an didn't dodge and let her hit him.

Chen Yulian was actually a little sore from the impact of his muscles: "Ah, are your chests made of iron? They're so hard!"

"Those are pecs!" Zhang Shuai'an struck a bodybuilder pose and said with a smile, "They have 20% of Bruce Lee's skills, are you scared yet!"

Chen Yulian was too lazy to talk to him anymore.

The two have another scene later on, which was also added by Zhao Zhen.

It was while Pang Feiyan was eating at a restaurant in Luzhou that she learned from others that Grand Tutor Pang had come to Luzhou. She immediately tried to flee, but the restaurant owner, thinking she was trying to dine and dash, reported her to the authorities. She hadn't run far when she encountered Bao Zheng, and a misunderstanding ensued. This approach preserves the conflict between them in the third storyline to the greatest extent possible.

Zhang Shuai'an blocked Chen Yulian's path and asked with a smile, "Hey, you thief who dined and dashed, trying to run away again?"

"Who dined and dashed? Who stole the money!" Chen Yulian retorted, her almond-shaped eyes wide with dissatisfaction. "I paid! The restaurant owner insisted my money was counterfeit. I was so angry that I..."

"Then you have to come back with me and explain things to the shop owner."

Zhang Shuai'an said quite seriously, "That silver of yours came from the Imperial Palace; it's rarely seen on the market. It's normal that he didn't know it. You don't look like someone who's ever been to the Imperial Palace, so it can only be stolen. Am I wrong to say you're a thief who dined and dashed?"

Just as Chen Yulian was about to deliver her lines, she suddenly met Zhang Shuai'an's eyes and froze.

Zhang Shuai'an waited two or three seconds, but still didn't get a response from Chen Yulian. He couldn't help but feel a little confused, so he raised his left palm and tapped her shoulder: "I'm asking you a question. Don't think you can get away with not talking."

"Ah!" Chen Yulian cried out in pain, wailing, "It hurts so much! Don't hit me so hard!"

This line was clearly not in the script, but he refrained from turning to look at the camera and continued, "So acupoints really do exist."

Chen Yulian suddenly kicked Zhang Shuai'an, and seeing him curled up in pain like a shrimp, she cursed under her breath, "Serves you right for hitting my head, you dead man!"

It then ran away quickly, only stopping when it was out of the camera's view.

"Click!"

Zhao Zhensheng's voice rang out: "Passed!"

Chen Yulian immediately jogged back and helped Zhang Shuai'an up with concern: "Hey, are you alright? I'm sorry, I didn't hold back!"

Zhang Shuai'an instantly recovered: "What could possibly happen to me?"

"I kicked you right where it hurts, didn't I?" Chen Yulian glanced at Zhang Shuai'an's groin with a smile. "When you men get kicked here, it always hurts."

Zhang Shuai'an smiled faintly: "You yourself said I'm a god, and you kicked my strongest and hardest spot, so you should be the one feeling pain!"

Chen Yulian paused, then her face flushed red, and she spat out, "You...you're a hopeless pervert!"

The rest of the filming went very smoothly.

Filming continued until after 1 a.m., and all the scenes for the first three episodes were filmed.

"Alright, that's all for today."

Zhao Zhenqiang said loudly, "Everyone has worked hard these past few days. We have a day off tomorrow, so please rest and recharge. Also, please tune in to the 8 PM drama tonight; the first episode of 'Young Detective Bao Qingtian' is about to air."

"Okay!" the crowd echoed.

Zhao Zhenqiang had nothing else to say, and finally said, "There are still twenty days left to film all the remaining episodes. Everyone should be mentally prepared. After filming wraps up, I'll treat everyone to a big meal."

"Thank you, Director Zhao!"

"Brother Qiang is awesome!"

"..."

"Alright, everyone, you can all disperse now!" Zhao Zhenqiang announced.

The entire crew immediately dispersed and went home.

After Zhang Shuai'an returned to the dressing room, took off his costume and makeup, He Jiatong ran over and asked, "Brother An, are we going back to the dormitory, or where are we going?"

"Of course I'm going back to your aunt's," Zhang Shuai'an replied. "It's vacation time, what are we doing still staying in the dorm!"

He Jiatong said with some worry, "Should we go now? I'm afraid we won't be able to get a taxi."

That is indeed a problem.

Zhang Shuai'an said, "Take some time to learn how to drive. When my next royalty payment arrives, you can buy a used car for transportation."

"Okay!" He Jiatong nodded.

After handing over their costumes, the two were too lazy to go back to their dorm and walked out of the Shaw Brothers Studio side by side.

"Where are you two handsome guys headed?"

A moment later, a luxury car suddenly pulled up from behind and stopped in front of the two. The person inside smiled and invited, "Get in, I'll take you there."
