Son, “Mom” Will Back You

"… …"

Gu Nian stiffened up.

Wait a minute.

That wasn't how it was in the script!

What happened to him calling Ding Qiao by her name? And, it was "I don't want to", not "I am not going to".

Gu Nian almost broker character but, as the director did not say "cut", she had no choice but to keep it going.

"Do you really want me to repay you this way?"

In front of the rock wall, the girl in red had tears in her eyes as she stubbornly lifted up her face and looked at the man in front of her.

The man looked at her deeply, as though trying to carve her image into his eyes. He did not say a word.

"Alright." Ding Qiao nodded and turned away with tears in her eyes. Gritted her teeth a little, she ripped open her collar with one hand. "I'll pay you back then!"

RIIIIPP!!

The pankou button bounced onto the ground. The collar, now torn, flickered slightly in the breeze and a portion of the pale collar bone could be seen.

In front of the rock wall.

The tall and slender back stiffened all of a sudden.

Ding Qiao's voice trembled. Her eyes red, she was looking at him with both guilt and desperation.

"I will give you what you want. From now on, we have nothing else to do with each other."

"… …!"

The long and slender fingers that had her delicate wrist pinned high on the rock wall tightened all of a sudden.

His eyes gazed solidly into hers.

In the deepest part of those dim eyes, there seemed to have a quietly hysterical demon being locked up inside.

It opened up its mouth of desire.

And wanted to swallow her whole.

"– –"

Gu Nian's eyes shuddered. As though out of reflex, she pushed her back further against the wall and her back was now entirely up against the cold rock wall.

The man stiffened.

After a little while, he lowered his eyes and let out an abrupt chuckle.

His fingers that had been wrapped tightly around her wrist relaxed one by one and he retracted his hand.

His snow-white hair slided down from his shoulder.

He sounded like he was smiling, but his voice was hoarse and dry.

"Go."

Gu Nian suddenly recollected herself.

Without hesitation, she relaxed her wrist, brushed past his side, and frantically ran toward the light behind him.

Right before she stepped into the light, she slowed down, and finally stopped in her track.

The tips of her fingers gripped tightly on the stone all as though they were about to push inside the rocks. Finally, she failed her own struggle and turned around and looked behind herself.

That man still stood motionlessly where he was earlier.

He looked at her back. His eyes hidden in the dark. The despair inside resembled the dark clouds on a rainy day.

Gu Nian was moved.

It was just a feeling at first, then, one second, she couldn't help but run back toward him. Though the thin and smooth hair on the man's shoulder, she threw himself against him and pinned him on the wall.

Feeling both guilty and sad, she looked at him intensely with tears in her eyes.

Then the girl stood up on her tip toes.

She was so nervous that she was shaking a little. Her tender and delicate lips brushed passed his chin.

"… I'm sorry," said the girl in a low voice, her eyes closed.

Her ankles landed back on the ground and her red dress flickered in the air. She was about to turn and leave.

And at that very second.

In front of the rock wall, the man in the black robe suddenly lifted his arm and was just short of grabbing the girl's wrist – –

"CUT!"

"– –"

Back to reality.

Geng Hongyu frowned deeply and stood in front of the monitor with his arms crossed in front of him for a long time. He finally said in a deep voice. "We are done for the day."

"– –!"

The production team went back from quietness to liveliness.

In the filming location.

Gu Nian immediately snapped out of the role when she heard that the day was over. She turned around, feeling surprised. "Mr. Luo Xiu, your acting skill just now was amazing. What was wrong with Director Geng? Why did he question your acting skill?"
