Tokyo: They say it's just dating, but they're serious about it.

Katsuhiko gently patted the back of Kuroki Hitomi's hand and said, "Miss Kuroki Hitomi, don't worry. My wife, Sayuri-chan, is the most considerate and understanding of her husband. She won't make things difficult for you."

Xiaobaihe in the back seat suppressed a laugh, tilted her head and spat softly, thinking to herself: What do you mean by not making things difficult for her? Including the other seven or eight girlfriends, I want to make things difficult for them all, isn't it because I can't handle it alone and I have no other choice... You beastly husband.

Katsuhiko's bluntness only made Hitomi Kuroki feel more ashamed. She instinctively grabbed the eye mask and headphones from the car box and put them on her bright red ears and eyes, trying to pretend to sleep.

"What are you doing, Kuroki Hitomi!" Tanaka Yutaka, who used to assist a yakuza boss, roared through a megaphone, "Acting! Acting, are you not going to act anymore! Acting like a big shot! You haven't played a leading role in seven years, do you want to wait another seven years! Can you afford to wait! I gave you a chance, and this is how you treat me! Believe me or not, I'll drag you out of the car window right now and throw you to the ground! I'll smash you to death, smash you to death! I'll chop off your little finger!"

"I'm sorry, President Tanaka, I... I need to compose myself first..."

"You have ten minutes!" Tanaka Yutaka was pulled into the car by his subordinates, who then shouted through the megaphone, "Attention all units, slow down! Nobody's leaving this road until this scene is finished tonight. Even if the rain stops, I'll bring a water truck..."

Of course, the rain hasn't stopped yet; it's still pouring down.

Little Lily asked softly, "Should I... go to another car?"

"Mrs. Takenaka, it's still raining outside. Please don't go to so much trouble. I've almost recovered. I just need to touch up my makeup a little."

Kuroki Hitomi took a few deep breaths, then took out a makeup mirror.

He truly deserves to be called a talented actor; his emotional shifts are incredibly quick.

Xiaobaihe whispered, "Actually, I really don't care. I don't mind at all. After all, even if I did care, it wouldn't make a difference. My husband is so scary. I don't care about any of his decisions or who he makes friends with. Don't worry."

As Xiaobaihe spoke, she was mentally calculating: How could I not take responsibility? Once we're officially a couple, I'll be in charge. For now, I'll lull her into a false sense of security. Anyway, that's the situation. Even if she tries to sneak around, she can't hide it from me...

Kuroki Hitomi didn't respond, her face flushed as she kept touching up her makeup in front of the small mirror... She was getting anxious because the blush on her face wouldn't go away. If it were a sex scene, this look would be perfect, but not now... How frustrating...

Tanaka Yutaka, in the car next door, had an extra ten minutes to calm down before Kuroki Hitomi finally regained her composure.

The following scenes seemed to flow much more smoothly, probably because the script happened to be at a point where Rinko was feeling down.

As the car sped towards northern Saitama Prefecture, Katsuhiko, who played Hisaki, broke the somber atmosphere by holding the steering wheel with one hand and grabbing the hand of Hitomi Kuroki, who played Rinko, with the other. Hitomi Kuroki then leaned closer to him.

Hitomi Kuroki, who plays Rinko, asks, "Hey, tell me, what do you like about me?"

What followed were some rather ambiguous lines, but perhaps because Tanaka Yutaka started out making pornographic films, he included a scene involving dangerous driving. Of course, nothing real happened on set; everyone was dressed neatly, but they engaged in actions and movements that were likely to leave the viewer with suggestive thoughts…

Sitting in the back seat, Xiaobaihe was rather short, and with the photographer blocking her view, she could only observe a perspective that left much to the imagination.

She was utterly astonished, but still stared wide-eyed, her face flushed, biting her finger.

They seemed to be getting into the swing of things, as Katsuhiko, who played Kuki, and Hitomi, who played Rinko, were chatting and laughing, exchanging all sorts of explicit remarks...

However, even the strict Tanaka Yutaka would occasionally yell "Cut" to make Kuroki Hitomi adjust her expression, hoping that her eyes wouldn't reveal any guilt that wasn't Rinko's. He wanted her to pretend that the whole car was just the two of them having an affair, a very private place, and that Mrs. Takenaka and the photographer didn't exist...

Tanaka Yutaka valued this film extremely highly. He not only memorized the script, but he could also roughly retell the entire novel, and recite certain passages word for word, striving for perfection to the extreme.

He thoroughly studied the feelings and emotions of the male protagonist, Kuki, and the female protagonist, Rinko; he could even play both roles himself. However, since they were currently driving on the highway in the rain, it wasn't convenient to provide hands-on guidance.

At 11 p.m., the film crew's convoy arrived at the scheduled filming location in Karuizawa.

Tanaka Yutaka also rented a villa in this old villa area, which is located in a quiet larch forest.

The villa is a Western-style house with a triangular roof. Behind it is a lush grove of trees, quiet and peaceful, and feels quite close to nature.

When Sheng Yan saw this villa, he even wanted to buy one and live in seclusion here.

Tanaka Yutaka got out of the car and said, "Why don't we step up our efforts and film the sex scene tonight?"

Chapter 140 Let's change the script tonight

After filming the scenes on the road, Tanaka Yutaka checked them several times and seemed quite satisfied.

He even started fantasizing about the film winning big awards, and the more he fantasized about it, the more excited and impatient he became.

But now everyone looks exhausted, having run all the way here in the rain.

Although Katsuhiko had a [Recovery Potion] that could instantly revive everyone, it was already 11 p.m., a time for sleeping and resting, so there was no need to use it and risk disrupting their sleep schedule. They decided to go to sleep first and film tomorrow.

"Alright, since President Takenaka has said so, then take a break. However, if you're staying here for several months or even longer, don't just walk away. After all, it was you who told me not to work overtime, so don't blame me."

Tanaka Yutaka also noticed the state of the other crew members and realized that they were indeed not suited to working overtime. Of course, he had to speak up and let the president know that he was not slacking off and was a person who loved his work.

It's estimated that this movie will take at least a year to film. After all, the script describes four seasons...

This villa is a one-to-one replica of the one described in the novel by Tanaka Yutaka, and even the exterior has been aged.

A rather old villa that is twenty years old.

Although there was no filming tonight, Tanaka Yutaka let the rest of the crew rest in the rented villa next door, and then took Katsuhiko, Hitomi Kuroki, and Sayuri who was with them to tour all the rooms in the villa.

Upon entering the main door, you'll find a spacious living room. On the left side of the long, narrow room is a fireplace, surrounded by sofas and chairs…

"There's a scene in the script where the two of you are sitting around the fireplace, chatting and drinking. Ms. Kuroki Hitomi needs to wear a silk nightgown, and President Takenaka needs to wear one of her father's nightgowns...blah blah blah..."

Tanaka Yutaka introduced the place as he walked...

Go up to the bedroom on the second floor, and there is a large double bed.

Tanaka Yutaka continued, "Your bed scene will take place on this bed. The sheets and duvet cover will be brand new, so feel free to use it..."

Xiaobaihe suddenly said, "Such a big bed, wouldn't it be too spacious for two people to sleep in?"

"Really?" Tanaka Yutaka paused, then looked at the large bed, frowning slightly as if trying to recall. He then said confidently, "Absolutely right, that's exactly how it is in the script, it fits the plot perfectly. Actually, I still hope we can film it now, since this timeframe is the same as in the script. There are no sex scenes at night, just sleeping together in each other's arms, so it's not tiring at all. The sex scene is tomorrow morning, and that will be a big scene because Rinko will make a request to Kuki due to emotional issues: 'If you're going to do it, don't stop...'"

Perhaps because Tanaka Yutaka has filmed too many pornographic films, his threshold has become unimaginably high. When he says such things, he does so without changing his expression and with unusual ease.

His plan was that since the film is divided into four seasons, spring, summer, autumn and winter, four highly expressive sex scenes needed to be filmed. The aim was to thoroughly express the poignant beauty and sadness of the connection between infidelity and death, and to elevate the film's theme to a level of high artistic merit through passion.

It's as tall as three or four stories!

Of course, any professional director can just spout off whatever they want, since it's just a simple discussion about filming plot.

However, as soon as she said this, Xiaobaihe, who was not in the industry, blushed, tilted her head and looked around, asking, "Is what you're filming a proper movie?"

Kuroki Hitomi's ears turned red as she turned her face towards the glass window, where it was still drizzling...

Logically speaking, it's a proper movie. However, it also contains quite a few scenes with explicit content. How should it be rated? It's not suitable for minors, but rather for married, experienced adults who might find it thought-provoking.

It doesn't seem like inspiration, and I can't say I gained anything; I can only describe it as "empathy."

After all, there are many people who cheat in society today, and men and women will definitely see themselves reflected in the film. If that's the case, the film will be a success, and my future acting career will be smooth sailing. For art, it's worth sacrificing...

Tanaka Yutaka jumped up and down on the spot: "How could it not be a proper movie?! I have staked all my glory on this movie. I will rely on it to turn things around and make Xia Ying Society famous in the world."

"Okay, okay, don't be angry, I was just asking casually." Sayuri glanced around while brushing it off, then grabbed Katsuhiko's arm and looked up to ask, "Honey, where are we sleeping tonight?"

"I think this bed is pretty good." Katsuhiko pulled Sayuri to sit on the bed, pressed the bouncy mattress, then glanced at Kuroki Hitomi, before looking at Tanaka Yutaka and asking, "Where are you sleeping tonight?"

"I rented a villa next door, which has dormitories for men and women; the entire film crew will be there,"

The production crew also brought many female staff members, including makeup artists, general helpers, logistics staff, and extras, such as the housekeeper in this villa.

Tanaka Yutaka adjusted his watch, then glanced at Kuroki Hitomi, who was looking out the window at the rainy night, and continued, "Ms. Kuroki Hitomi, I've arranged accommodations for the female employees who came with you. You can sleep here; there's a bed in the next room. It would be best if you went over your lines with President Takenaka again. Your performance today was terrible; I'm very disappointed. I'll be going now. You guys can manage on your own! There's a late-night snack in the kitchen..."

In this villa, only the beds in two rooms have bedding and blankets.

Tanaka Yutaka was probably really angry. He threw down his umbrella, turned around and left, even kicking the door shut with his heel.

"Are you going to rehearse tonight?" Sayuri jumped up from the mattress and continued, "If I stay here, I'll definitely disturb you! I'll go sleep in the next room, and you can talk about how to act here. After all, this bed is your stage."

Katsuhiko grabbed Sayuri and put her on his lap, saying, "It's so late, why are you still rehearsing? Let's go to sleep."

Xiaobaihe suddenly blushed, leaned close to Shengyan's ear, and whispered, "Honey, the doctor advised us to sleep in separate beds, otherwise it's too dangerous, we might make a mistake..."

Xiao Baihe is less than three weeks pregnant, which is a relatively dangerous time. She should wait until the fetus is more stable, around three to six months. After all, the fetal bed is not stable at this stage, and excessive stimulation could lead to miscarriage...

This reason is indeed very legitimate. After all, many adult men and women sleeping in the same bed, once emotions run high, will do some uncontrollable little things in their hazy state... I wonder if their brains went into a partial shutdown state at that time, meaning they had no other complicated thoughts in their minds, only a simple goal: to find each other and reproduce...

…………

"I look at girls every day, not for any other reason than to make myself happy..."

Katsuhiko suddenly remembered a famous saying by an old man with a long white beard. Of course, his situation was different, because he drank the [Recovery Potion] like water, and because he had many wives, he had to... every day for the past few months.

I ate a pre-made bento box produced by "Zhunzhong Food Processing Plant" on the way to lunch, because I was already very hungry.

Sayuri, pulling Kuroki Hitomi along as if her clothes suddenly didn't fit, went into the kitchen. The two busied themselves in the kitchen for less than five minutes, probably chatting about something, before returning together with three servings of instant pasta and a bottle of whiskey.

"It's a bit cold on a rainy day, so let's have some wine to warm up." Kuroki Hitomi said as she placed two clear wine glasses in front of Katsuhiko and herself, her expression serene and calm, appearing quite casual.

"I don't need to drink. There's a fireplace in the next room where we can light a fire."

The smile in Sayuri's eyes was somewhat similar to Mikoto's. No wonder they were best friends; she was almost being assimilated by Mikoto... Of course, Sayuri was pregnant and couldn't drink alcohol.

After pouring the wine, Hitomi Kuroki didn't say anything more, taking a bite of pasta and a sip of wine.

She drank the whiskey in her glass without diluting it with water.

I picked up the glass, tilted my head back, and took a swig of the liquor. Then, feeling the spiciness, I closed my eyes, stretched my neck, and exhaled through my mouth. After exhaling, I tilted my head back slightly, closed my eyes, and savored the taste. Then, I lowered my head, picked up the pasta, and slurped the noodles into my mouth.

After finishing the meal, I cleaned up the disposable lunchbox.

Xiaobaihe went to the next room. The two rooms were separated by only a thin wooden board, and her footsteps could be heard clearly.

"Mr. Takenaka, would you like to go over the lines?" Hitomi Kuroki lay on her side on the mattress, her upper body supported by her left elbow, and gently patted her slightly curled legs with her right hand. "Do I look like Rinko to you?"

She had just put on "Rinko's" silk pajamas. They were made of a particularly smooth, off-white fabric. The top was a camisole with a V-neck and lace trim, which perfectly supported the bodice.

Her skirt fell just above her knees, and as she spoke, she pinched the hem and lifted it up slightly, revealing half of her fair thigh.

Her face was now extremely flushed from the wine she had just drunk, probably due to a hazy, intoxicated state.

"You're not going to take advantage of me, are you?" Katsuhiko sat on the edge of the bed and looked her up and down. "I'm the president."

Kuroki Hitomi smiled and gently shook her head, saying, "No, you're a new actress, and I'm the senior. I need to guide you."

“No problem, I’m happy to cooperate,” Katsuhiko shifted his position a little closer and asked, “Which scene are we going to film now?”

Kuroki Hitomi was silent for a moment, then gently turned her upper body and said, "May I make a request?"

Katsuhiko was taken aback. That line before the sex scene?

She got into character in a second, exuding the aura of "Rinko".

In response to the next line, he asked, "What are your requirements?"

Hitomi Kuroki, who plays Rinko, was silent for a while, then said softly, "If you're going to do it, don't stop."

It's unclear whether her silence was genuine or Rinko's; of course, there is a scene in the story where Rinko is silent for a moment in this location. However, Katsuhiko believes it was Hitomi Kuroki's silence, because when she spoke, she glanced into the next room, as if worried that Sayuri might suddenly rush in and hit her.

In the novel's plot, when Mr. Kuki heard this request, he was so shocked that he froze for a moment. The older man even subconsciously peeked at young Rinko's expression, trying to make sure she was serious...

For a normal man, this is quite an excessive request.

Keep going? Even a young man in his twenties can't do that!
