Son, “Mom” Will Back You

Title: Son, "Mom" Will Back You

"Yun Tan did not run into Ding Qiao in this current life until after she had already run into Wang Wuya, the male lead. At this point in time, owing to their entanglement from their previous life, Ding Qiao was already fond of Wang Wuya." Gu Nian broke down each character in the script and analyze them to him individually. "As such, as far as she was concerned, Yun Tan's feelings toward her was more like the kind from…"

"A third person?" asked Luo Xiu abruptly.

Gu Nian was taken aback a little. The voice had an odd sense of coldness in it, which made her looked up reflexively. Nevertheless, all she saw was a pair of brown eyes that were gentle and mild like jade.

She must have imagined it again.

Gu Nian quickly skipped over any possible negative thoughts about her son. Her eyes curved and she said, "No, not exactly. After all, Ding Qiao and Wang Wuya are not yet in a relationship at this point in time."

Luo Xiu nodded and asked softly, "What are Ding Qiao's thoughts then?"

"Hmm? What do you by that?"

"Yun Tan already knew about the entanglement between Ding Qiao and Wang Wuya in their previous life as well as their feelings for each other in this life time. Yet he still wanted to force his way in. What was Ding Qiao's thought on Yun Tan's behavior?"

Gu Nian was dazed for a few seconds before she turned her head, gave Luo Xiu an approving look, and even gave him a thumbs up. "You brought up a very good point. That was an oversight on my part for not having rounded off the character Yun Tan from Ding Qiao's perspective."

"It is your script. You can talk about your insight now."

"Hmm… Let me think about it for a second."

Luo Xiu looked silently at the side of the lounger.

Gu Nian was a short girl and, sitting on a short stoop, she was all the more curled up into a ball. After she had replied to him, she curled the script up on her knees and pondered long and hard with a frown.

She didn't look guarded at all and didn't seem to notice the subtext in his words at all.

After a few seconds had passed, Gu Nian seemed to have something figured out. She sat up straight all of a sudden and said, "I got it!"

"Mmmhmm?"

"Ding Qiao should be able to understand Yun Tan. Yun Tan was youtanhau, the sacred item, and it had only turned into a demon for the sake of saving her. And, even when he had turned into a demon, his nature remained unchanged. He still chose to give up in the end so that she could be with Wang Wuya."

"So for Ding Qiao to understand him, he'd have to give up on Ding Qiao."

"Eh? Why would you think that, Mr. Luo Xiu? Of course that's not the case!"

"… …"

Luo Xiu looked up at her.

Gu Nian explained the logic carefully. "Ding Qiao could understand him because he had turned into a demon for her. Once he had turned into a demon, he was not able to control his desires toward her. As such, even though he was well aware that Wang Wuya was the object of Ding Qiao's affection, he still couldn't help but want to get closer to her and make her his."

Having said that, she turned and looked into Luo Xiu's eyes. "The entire time, even though Yun Tan appeared to be strong, fearless, and dreadful, he was the one who suffered the most emotionally – Ding Qiao was able to understand that."

"… Is that so."

As soon as Luo Xiu started talking, he was interrupted by a voice coming from behind them. "You can head over to the dressing room now, Mr. Luo."

"… …"

Gu Nian and Luo Xiu turned and looked at the same time.

Looking at the person who had just come inside, Gu Nian paused for a little as did the other person. "Eh, Gu Nian, how come you are over here?"

It was the little makeup artist who helped Gu Nian with her makeup and joked around with her in the bathroom yesterday. She was also the assistant of the official makeup artist on the production team.

Gu Nian, "I am explaining the script to Mr. Luo Xiu."

"Oh, is that so? How about you continue your conversation in the dressing room then?"

Gu Nian looked over at Luo Xiu, seeking his opinion on this.

Luo Xiu nodded and said, "Okay."
