Chapter 63 The Actress Who Competes with a Newcomer for the Best Actor 9
Yun Qing was unaware that Gu Zezhi actually wanted to watch their CP (couple) videos.
She looked at her forehead carefully in the mirror and figured it wouldn't be too swollen tomorrow, so she prepared to go to sleep.
Once she lay down in bed, she started to worry again about Gu Zezhi not following the script.
She originally wanted to keep her distance from Gu Zezhi to prevent any unforeseen complications, but given Lin Yunqing's character, she couldn't refuse him if he persisted a little longer.
Just like Gu Zezhi insisted on treating the injury on her forehead.
Can Lin Yunqing bring herself to refuse?
Even though Gu Zezhi had just rejected her using the brother-sister analogy, she couldn't refuse him.
Gu Zezhi didn't know what was going on either.
Since you've already rejected her, then keep some distance from her!
But today, he spent the whole day hanging around her, doing all sorts of strange things. Not only that, he was also taking such good care of her, even applying a compress to her forehead.
Do you even understand what it means to have boundaries between men and women?
She couldn't help but start to wonder if Gu Zezhi really wanted her to think he was a scumbag, just like the system said, so that she would give up on him.
Or perhaps he genuinely treats her like a younger sister, wanting her to realize that his feelings for her are purely platonic and that there could never be any romantic feelings between them?
At this moment, the system spoke up: [Host, when the male lead accidentally touched the corner of your lips, shouldn't you have reacted? You're secretly in love with him!]
【What do you know? I was just pretending to be calm on the surface, but inside I was in a complete mess. Didn't you see me staring at my phone the whole time, afraid to even look at him?】
Gu Zezhi just rejected me; shouldn't I desperately try to maintain the last shred of my self-respect?
The system thought about it and it seemed to make sense, so it stopped talking.
Since it didn't sense any unusual activity in the Heavenly Dao, it should be fine.
At this moment, Yun Qing suddenly clasped her hands together and muttered in a mystical tone: "System, please bless me. I hope Gu Zezhi and Ning Meng's kissing scene goes smoothly tomorrow."
Then she will be able to play the important role of the villainous female supporting character, and Gu Zezhi will realize how stubborn she is. His tactful refusal will be useless.
Then he should at least keep his distance from her, right? The rest of the story should then proceed normally.
Then these minor anomalies become insignificant.
system:!!!
Don't harm me! The Lord will destroy me!
The next day, Yun Qing arrived at the film set early. The kissing scene between Gu Zezhi and Ning Meng was scheduled for the afternoon, while the morning scenes were mainly for her and Gu Zezhi.
While Yun Qing was putting on makeup, Gu Zezhi suddenly knocked on the door.
Yuanyuan opened the door and saw him. She quickly invited him in and asked, "Teacher Gu, would you like to talk to Sister Qing for a while?"
That means they're asking her and the makeup artist if they need to go outside first.
Yun Qing: ...
She seemed to have forgotten to tell Yuanyuan that there was nothing between her and Gu Zezhi. Would Yuanyuan misunderstand that she and Gu Zezhi had progressed to the point of being "family"?
Surprisingly, Gu Zezhi actually nodded.
Then Yuanyuan quickly pulled the makeup artist out.
Yun Qing: ...
No! Gu Zezhi nodded. It sounded like they were about to say something shameful.
Gu Zezhi walked behind her, looked at her forehead in the mirror, and seeing that it wasn't very swollen, asked, "Does it still hurt?"
Yun Qing lowered her eyes and said, "It doesn't hurt anymore, thank you, brother."
Gu Zezhi: ...
"Ahem... Teacher Lin, I watched our CP video..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yun Qing suddenly turned her head, looking at him with a horrified expression, "You...you watch CP videos?"
If it were a normal couple video, Yun Qing wouldn't have reacted so strongly.
But thinking about what Gu Zezhi had overheard, she instantly felt terrible.
Her mind was filled with words like "little vixen" and "please me," and there were other unspeakable things she dared not think about.
Did Gu Zezhi see all of these?
No, no, no! That's unlikely. Gu Zezhi probably just watched one or two videos out of curiosity, right? He couldn't possibly stay up all night just to watch CP videos.
And judging from his calm demeanor, he must have been observing things quite normally.
Thinking about it this way, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
To everyone's surprise, Gu Zezhi nodded the next moment and said, "Yes, I've seen most of them, and the editing is pretty good."
Yun Qing: !!!
You've seen most of them?!
Yun Qing wanted to go crazy, but seeing how calm Gu Zezhi was, she actually calmed down as well.
Aren't they both the main characters in the couple's video? If they're going to feel awkward, they should feel awkward together. Since Gu Zezhi isn't awkward, then she doesn't need to feel awkward either.
However, she still remembered Lin Yunqing's character, and her face instantly turned red. She whispered, "That's just what the CP fans are joking around with, don't take it seriously."
She never expected that Gu Zezhi would specifically go and watch their CP videos.
However, this time she felt it wasn't Gu Zezhi's fault; it was definitely her fault.
If Gu Zezhi hadn't overheard her watching a couple's video, he probably wouldn't have been curious enough to watch it himself.
But! He already looked at it, so why did he specifically come all the way to talk to her about it?
Gu Zezhi kept looking at her, and tentatively said, "I think it's not easy being a CP fan either, constantly shipping fake sweetness, how about..."
"Teacher Gu, are you inside?"
Ning Meng's voice came from outside, interrupting Gu Zezhi's words.
He frowned, his originally gentle expression turning slightly displeased, instantly adding a sense of pressure.
Seeing that no one answered, Ning Meng began to knock on the door forcefully, "Teacher Gu, Director Zhang is looking for you."
Gu Zezhi looked at Yun Qing, who had her head down, and finally just reached out and patted her head, sighing, "Let's film the movie first."
He finished speaking and then turned to open the door. Ning Meng glanced into the lounge before looking at him and said apologetically, "Teacher Gu, did I disturb you? Director Zhang needs to talk to you. It should be related to the kissing scene this afternoon."
Gu Zezhi nodded and went directly to find Director Zhang.
Ning Meng glanced into the lounge one last time and then followed.
Yun Qing sat there, completely bewildered. What exactly did Gu Zezhi come here for? Just to tell her that he had watched the CP video?
He specifically mentioned that it's not easy for CP fans to ship fake romances. Is he trying to make CP fans give up and stop shipping them?
It's no wonder Yun Qing thinks that way. Besides, it couldn't possibly be that she wants the CP fans to enjoy real sweet moments, right?
She's a vicious supporting character! And Gu Zezhi just rejected her yesterday!
Yun Qing felt that she had figured it out.
No wonder Gu Zezhi wanted to talk to her alone. He couldn't accept the CP video and didn't want their CP fans to continue. This behavior was tantamount to drawing a line between them.
He didn't say it in front of others, probably to save face for her.
He didn't say it in the end, probably because he was afraid that saying it now would affect her mindset and make her not act well, so he said to film first.
It's true that their CP fans have it tough. Not only did they keep shipping fake romances, but Lin Yunqing's career also collapsed in the end.
In the novel's plot, the existence of these CP fans is actually just to make the female lead and male lead quarrel, and then the two of them will frantically show their affection.
To put it simply, it's a tool to advance the plot.
