Huayu: Enjoy Yourself

Chapter 33 The Night Is Beautiful

The autumn wind is chilly. ♟✎ ➅❾𝔰н𝕌ˣ.ςόΜ 👻♪

The leaves in the forest began to turn yellow and drifted down.

Along the riverbank with its small bridges and flowing water, accompanied by the sound of the river and stream.

Nature plays a mournful symphony; on the forest path strewn with fallen leaves, the sound of people walking along it is crisp and clear.

In the footage, Shizi is dressed in unisex clothing and wearing a woolen hat.

He picked up the chestnuts that had fallen to the ground with tongs and put them into the bamboo basket behind him.

The autumn wind rustled the leaves, and occasionally a leaf would drift down and slide in front of you, making the leaves on the ground rustle.

The beautiful figure standing alone complements the solitary scene in the forest, creating a serene and beautiful atmosphere.

Raising her head, her fair and beautiful face, with serene eyes, seemed to be gazing into the distance. The feeling of autumn was vividly displayed on the scene, making it breathtakingly beautiful.

"Click, this take is good."

After three takes, the performance finally met Chen An's requirements, and this part of the filming came to an end.

The filming period quietly passed, and autumn arrived.

This was also the last segment of filming for the autumn footage.

Next is the preparation of chestnut rice. We only need to film a few scenes; Chen An will handle the cooking.

This woman really showed Chen An what it means to be bad at optics.

After everyone finished cleaning up their equipment, they went down to pick chestnuts, as they were all going to film making chestnut rice.

Why not actually make a chestnut rice meal? Use the small pot for filming and the big pot for everyone to eat together.

Chen An took action, preparing the ingredients, one portion in a large pot and another in a small pot.

They taught Yu Jinghong how to cook step by step, filmed several clips, and finally filmed her eating the food, which marked the end of the session.

Finally, everyone gathered together to eat the boiled chestnut rice.

The rest of the filming this year will depend on the arrival of snow.

Night falls.

The autumn night carried a hint of chill.

Chen An was hiding in his room, pondering how to film scenes that he could only intuitively grasp.

There was a sudden knock on the door.

When Chen An opened the door, he saw his senior sister, Yu Jinghong, standing there.

"Want a drink?" Standing outside the door, she suddenly pulled out a bottle of wine from behind her back.

Chen An didn't think much of it, nodded, and let her in.

She walked straight into the room, put the wine in her hand on the table, and plopped down on the bed next to it.

Chen An thought for a moment and then closed the door.

I walked to the table, picked up the bottle and looked at it. The transparent bottle contained the sweet wine I had brewed myself.

The bottle was warm to the touch.

"I just made sure to heat up because it's getting a bit chilly. I warmed up to keep myself warm."

Sitting on the bed, Yu Jinghong blinked and spoke in advance.

Chen An took out two cups, poured the wine into them, and said with a smile, "You're quite thoughtful. But drinking some hot wine is definitely more comfortable when it's cold."

After speaking, he picked up the cup in front of him and took a small sip. It was slightly sweet, and a warm current flowed into his stomach.

It's an indescribable feeling of comfort.

Sitting on the bed, Yu Jinghong picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp, swallowing it hard before letting out a long sigh.

"Are there no filming plans for the next period?"

Sitting on the bed, Yu Jinghong asked with some curiosity.

After taking a sip of warm sweet wine, Chen An lit a cigarette and replied somewhat absentmindedly, "That's all. We'll wait until the first snow of the year. After filming, it'll be next year."

"Is that so?" Yu Jinghong murmured to herself upon hearing the reply.

His feet unconsciously tapped against the wooden frame beside the bed.

The two chatted about random things, and the wine in the bottle gradually dwindled to almost nothing, no longer warm.

Sweet wine has a low alcohol content, and Chen An has been drinking it since he was a child. His family always has it during festivals, and Chen An loves it when it's warm and served with rice cakes and red beans.

But for some unknown reason, Chen An felt a fever, and Yu Jinghong's fair cheeks also flushed slightly.

"I'm done drinking, I'm leaving too." After finishing their drinks, the two remained silent. Suddenly, Yu Jinghong stood up, intending to leave.

Chen An also stood up and said, "Okay, I'll see you off."

The two walked to the door together in perfect unison.

Chen An opened the door and let Yu Jinghong out.

The two exchanged a glance without speaking, but just as Yu Jinghong reached the door, Chen An reached out and grabbed her hand, pulling her inside.

He then closed the door behind him.

The two looked at each other, neither of them saying a word.

Suddenly, Yu Jinghong lunged forward, hugged Chen An tightly, and stood on tiptoe to push her head forward.

Chen An lowered his head, seemingly having just drunk some sweet wine.

Slightly sweet!

The room lights were turned off.

Only the moonlight shining in through the window remained.

A crescent moon, white as frost, shines brightly high in the autumn sky!

Chen An woke up in the morning and touched the warm breath beside the bed.

I feel like I've been taken advantage of.

There isn't even a wake-up service.

I'm still fairly satisfied, at least I wasn't told it was "just average," otherwise I would have completely lost it.

The autumn mornings are colder than the nights, and the grass outside is already covered with frost.

After washing up, Chen An felt a little strange when he saw the group. They seemed to be talking about something, but after he sat down, they stopped talking.

Moreover, he often stares at me and occasionally smirks secretly.

Even the usually honest and unassuming Duan Long acted like this, and Tao Hong couldn't stop laughing.

Chen An was about to ask Chen Wei what was wrong, but he laughed like a quail, his whole body twitching, and he was winking at him.

After going around once, Chen An suddenly realized what was happening, looking at Tao Hong who was laughing non-stop and Duan Long who was snickering.

The house where the filming took place had three rooms where people could sleep. I and Yu Jinghong stayed upstairs, while Tao Hong stayed in the downstairs room.

Moreover, Tao Hong and Duan Long have been spending a lot of time together lately. I hadn't paid attention to this while I was thinking about filming, but now I understand.

The two of them were downstairs last night, which is why they were watching me winking and smirking.

Depend on!

Once Chen An understood, he glared at the people around him, while Yu Jinghong, who had come out, looked at their expressions.

And from the look in Tao Hong's eyes, she understood what was going on, and her face unconsciously turned red.

It's all his fault for using too much force.

However, Chen An, having realized what was happening, began to communicate with Duan Long using a special look in his eyes.

"you?"

"Um."

When?

Two weeks ago.

Hey!

Chen An said that sometimes he felt there was movement downstairs, and it turned out to be you two, that scoundrels.

After Yu Jinghong came out, she sat down next to Chen An, and the group started chatting.

The group didn't spread the word, but the crew noticed. The way the two were together, all lovey-dovey, was obvious to everyone.

The first snow finally fell.

Countless snowflakes drifted down from the sky, and the final segment of filming for the year was about to begin.

In the air, the glistening snowflakes danced like light jade butterflies.

Snowflakes fell from the sky, swirling and fluttering down like goose feathers, crystal clear and sparkling.

As frost descends, the whole world is draped in a protective coat, covered in a blanket of white snow.

Filming officially began amidst this snow-covered landscape.

snow.

It is the longest and most dramatic shot in the film, and it is also the final struggle. After spring arrives and life flourishes, the female protagonist, Shizi, makes up her mind and suddenly leaves after reading her mother's letter.

This also symbolizes her state of mind: the arrival of winter is fierce and intense, but the dawn of spring is forever resilient.

It was also during this winter that she began to recall her mother's unspoken thoughts.

Despite her reluctance, she still went out into the thick snow to pick the vegetables she wanted to eat, and when she got home, she only complained that there wasn't enough salt.

It was only when I started complaining that I remembered my mother from that time.

Every day, I have to earn a salary, do housework, and cook a delicious meal before I get home.

In an instant, the once strong girl began to feel heartbroken.

In the midst of the swirling snow, snowflakes like willow catkins, reeds, and dandelions danced in the air and flew with the wind.

The persimmon sat alone at the door, watching the heavy snow outside the window.

Outside the door, heavy snow had covered the entire forest, with only the persimmon tree's little house standing on the small steps nearby.

A solitary figure amidst the vast expanse of snow!

I had no idea how to create that character before; I always thought it was created by the readers. Turns out I had to add it myself.
