HuaYu14: Female celebrities are going too fast.

Since she couldn't satisfy Zhou Xun in terms of quality, Meng Ziyi could only keep it a secret from him in terms of frequency.

Zhou Xun felt her uneasy little hand, lowered his head, lifted her chin with his hand, and chuckled:

"Aren't you just out of energy?"

Meng Ziyi's ears turned red, she nodded, and said shyly:

"Don't come, I'll help you. We have to film later, and there's not enough time."

Zhou Xun threw down his phone, pulled Meng Ziyi out of the blanket, and made a move to kiss her, but she pushed him away. Meng Ziyi turned her head away, not daring to look Zhou Xun in the eye.

"Zhou Xun, please stop."

How could Meng Ziyi's delicate hands stop Zhou Xun? Zhou Xun brushed her hands aside, pulled her closer, and looked down at her, smiling as he said:

"It's okay, I'll be quick."

"No way!" Meng Ziyi refused, blushing. "We still have to film action scenes later."

"It's okay, I'll massage it for you when it's over."

Since she couldn't escape, Meng Ziyi stubbornly retorted, "Come on! Don't make me look down on you."

Half an hour later, Meng Ziyi collapsed into Zhou Xun's arms. She didn't want to talk; she just wanted to rest.

What would normally take several hours was completed in half an hour; the efficiency is truly astounding.

Zhou Xun reached out and rubbed Meng Ziyi's lower abdomen, and the card attached itself to her body.

The pain in Meng Ziyi's body gradually disappeared, and she regained her strength.

"What time is it?" she asked, looking up at Zhou Xun.

Zhou Xun was still massaging her with his left hand, while his right hand reached for his phone and glanced at it:

"8:10, how are you feeling? Can you get up?"

Meng Ziyi rolled her eyes at Zhou Xun: "If I can't get up, you're dead!"

Zhou Xun raised an eyebrow and touched his nose.

Meng Ziyi propped herself up and slowly sat on the bed, turning to look at Zhou Xun and asking, "Shall we go to the film set together later?"

"You go first, I'll follow. Don't let anyone see us leaving together."

Meng Ziyi didn't say anything, just nodded, threw off the covers, got out of bed, and walked barefoot into the bathroom.

Soon after, the sound of rushing water began.

Zhou Xun leaned against the headboard, listening to the sound of water, and picked up his phone to look at another comment by Tian Xiwei:

[I hope that one day I can stand before you and tell you that I did it.]

He didn't comment, locked his phone, placed it on the bedside table, and got up to tidy the room.

After tidying up, he leaned back against the headboard.

The water in the bathroom was off. Meng Ziyi came out, wearing a bathrobe, her hair down, and holding a hairdryer.

"Zhou Xun, come here and help me blow-dry my hair."

Zhou Xun smiled at her, pointed to his cheek, and his meaning was clear.

"What a disgrace?!" Meng Ziyi rolled her eyes at him, walked to the bedside, leaned down and kissed Zhou Xun on the corner of his mouth. "Is that enough?!"

Zhou Xun smiled, nodded in satisfaction, took the hair dryer, and followed her into the bathroom.

Fan Xiaopang: So? Then what am I supposed to call master?

Meng Ziyi was putting on makeup while Zhou Xun stood behind her, blow-drying her hair.

"Go outside, I'm going to change my clothes." After drying her hair, Meng Ziyi turned to Zhou Xun and said.

"What are you afraid of? What part of you haven't I seen before?" Zhou Xun said with a smile.

Meng Ziyi's ears turned red, and she pushed Zhou Xun, insisting that he leave: "That's different."

"What's the difference?"

The only response he received was the sound of the door slamming shut.

Zhou Xun smiled and went back to bed. A little while later, Meng Ziyi came out after changing her clothes. She walked to the bedside, leaned down and kissed Zhou Xun on the corner of his mouth, then stepped back and looked at him:

"I'm off now. See you on set."

See you on set.

At 8:40, Zhou Xun went out.

The corridor was quiet, and the doors to the other actors' rooms were all closed. Only the cleaning lady at the end pushed her cleaning cart past, and she made way for him when she saw him.

Zhou Xun walked to the elevator entrance and ran into Li Yitong there.

Good morning!

"morning."

Li Yitong looked behind Zhou Xun but didn't see Meng Ziyi. She then asked Zhou Xun:

"Where's Ziyi?"

Zhou Xun glanced at her and did not deny it: "I let her go first."

Li Yitong nodded and said "Oh".

The elevator arrived, and the two entered together. In the cramped elevator, Li Yitong was half a step behind Zhou Xun, silently looking at Zhou Xun's profile, her small hands clasped together in front of her.

When the two arrived, the set was already bustling with activity. Staff were moving props, adjusting lights, and laying cables, with shouts and footsteps mixed together.

Guo Jingyu stood in front of the monitor, holding a walkie-talkie, confirming the camera positions with the director of photography.

When Zhou Xun entered the dressing room, Meng Ziyi had already finished her makeup and was sitting in a chair scrolling through her phone.

When she saw Zhou Xun come in, she looked up and smiled at him, but didn't say anything, and then lowered her head to continue scrolling.

Zhou Xun walked to his seat and sat down, and the makeup artist came over to do his makeup.

He closed his eyes and slowly relaxed his body.

"All done." The makeup artist stepped back, examined the makeup artist, and nodded in satisfaction.

Zhou Xun opened his eyes, glanced at himself in the mirror, and exclaimed, "Still handsome!"

He stood up from the chair, straightened his collar, and walked out of the dressing room.

Meng Ziyi was already standing at the door waiting. When she saw him come out, she didn't say anything and quietly walked beside him.

The two walked side by side towards the filming area. Guo Jingyu was already waiting in front of the monitor. Seeing the two approaching, she stood up.

"You two's first event today is a martial arts contest to find a husband. The stage is already set up, so go and rehearse your positions first. Don't dawdle when the actual filming starts."

Zhou Xun nodded, and Meng Ziyi nodded as well.

The two walked onto the ring, while Guo Jingyu stood below, looking up at them.

"Zhou Xun, come up onto the stage from this side. Be quick and decisive, take one step at a time..."

Zhou Xun walked to the designated position, and Meng Ziyi stood in the center of the arena. The two looked at each other and then began to move according to the director's instructions.

"Zhou Xun, be a beat slow when you're snapping your wrist. You're Yang Kang now, not Lü Bu..."

The two tried twice, but Guo Jingyu wasn't very satisfied because Meng Ziyi's action scenes always lacked power. However, he ultimately said:

"Okay, let's try it out with the dialogue." He stepped back behind the monitor and said into the walkie-talkie, "All units, get ready, we're shooting a real take."

The clapperboard slammed shut.

Zhou Xun stood below the arena, looking up at Mu Nianci on the platform. The sunlight was perfect, shining down from behind Mu Nianci and gilding her entire body with a golden edge.

Zhou Xun leaped onto the stage, while Meng Ziyi stepped back two paces, clasping her hands in a fist salute:

"Young master, this is..."

"..."

"If I win, I will repay you with my body."

Chrissie Chau extended her hand, palm up: "Then please enlighten me, young lady."

Meng Ziyi bit her lip and made her move. Her palm strikes were fierce and swift, but Zhou Xun responded calmly and skillfully, neutralizing each of her attacks perfectly.

When the two were exchanging the tenth move, Meng Ziyi stumbled and her body swayed to the side.

Zhou Xun reacted quickly, reaching out to grab her waist and catching her steadily.

Their faces were very close. Meng Ziyi looked at Zhou Xun's face, her breathing became rapid, her chest heaved, and her cheeks flushed slightly.

"Okay, stop!" Guo Jingyu's voice came from behind the monitor.

The two separated and looked toward the director.

Guo Jingyu walked off the stage, her expression not very good, her brows furrowed.

"Meng Ziyi, what happened when you stumbled just now? This wasn't in the script. Did you lose your balance?"

Meng Ziyi opened her mouth, her face instantly turning red. She lowered her head and glanced at Zhou Xun, the culprit who had made her lose her balance.
