Chapter 539: Chapter 548: Hot Springs (5)

Isn’t that what they say about Yu Zexiao having dumb luck? The scene he happened to be shooting was where the male protagonist, Lin Zixiao, "weak" from illness, is rescued from the villa by the female protagonist, Xiu Momo, and the two of them escape through the forest. The makeup artist was worried at first about having to transform the lively Yu Zexiao into a patient who had been on a hunger strike for several days, but with this incident, only a touch of makeup was needed for him to look eighty percent similar to the male lead in the script!

Since the filming was outdoors, it mainly depicted how the male and female protagonists sneak out of the luxury villa and evade the servants sent by the father to patrol the area.

Throughout the entire day, Yu Zexiao spent his time scaling walls and escaping. Any movement would pull at the spot where Jian Anning had slammed into him the day before, causing him to grimace in pain. To make the performance more realistic, he had to personally scale walls and get past several layers of security guards. Especially challenging was the scene where the male lead sits on top of the wall and pulls the female lead up. Sitting on top of the wall—thus, the injured Yu Zexiao, while climbing over, pressed down on it and winced from the pain.

After a whole day of filming, everyone was utterly exhausted. Especially Yu Zexiao, being the lead, he had to run and climb walls repetitively, and after the female lead fell and twisted her ankle, he even had to carry her for a distance—it was definitely physically demanding! Moreover, his little self was in severe pain all day, which made him look extremely fatigued, and it wasn’t until night that he managed to feel somewhat relieved.

As for Jian Anning, she notably didn’t come to comfort him and even avoided him as much as possible during filming, except when absolutely necessary. Her expression, cold and stern, indicated that she was indeed very angry with him!

----------------------------------

So, by the time today’s filming wrapped up, the moon was high in the sky. When Yu Zexiao got back to his room, he was so tired he couldn’t even lift a finger. He had no energy left to "settle accounts" with Jian Anning, so after soaking in the hot spring pool for a while in his swimming trunks, he took a bath and lay down on the bed to rest.

Tomorrow, there were still many scenes waiting for him!

Meanwhile, Jian Anning, after returning to her room, dealt with his Weibo and the fan forums, and as usual, reported Yu Zexiao’s work for the day to Hong Minjun. When she finally looked up, it was already midnight.

She moved her slightly stiff body, tidied up a bit, and got ready to sleep.

Suddenly, she remembered that this was Hot Spring Villa, and though she had been here for two days, she had not soaked in the hot springs even once.

She glanced over and saw that Yu Zexiao was already asleep. Recalling how exhausted he was today, barely able to keep his eyes open when he got back, almost falling asleep in the hot spring, she was still a bit worried. She quietly went over to listen, but there were no signs of wakefulness inside the room.

Relieved, Jian Anning took a quick shower, changed into a bikini, and walked to the hot spring pool.

The temperature of the hot spring here was about thirty-nine degrees Celsius. Although it was early autumn and the days were somewhat hot, this place was in the forest far from the city center, on top of a mountain. At night, when the mountain breeze blew, it felt quite chilly.
