Chapter 151: You Are Going Through a Breakup, Not a Love Confession

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

On the surface, celebrities were a glamorous bunch. The stronger ones or luckier ones were envied by many.

But they had to work hard too.

If there was filming, it could mean an all-nighter.

Those who were more unreasonable would push their weight; those who were more responsible would cause less trouble to the others and the filming crew.

Initially filming was planned to begin on the second morning, but with a call from the director, Pei Zhen and Xiao Nian had to rush to the filming location late in the evening.

By the time they arrived, it was nine o’clock.

The idol drama called for a tear-jerking scene that took place on a rainy night.

The goddess leading actress was urged on by the supporting actress, getting ready to break up with the cutest guy in school. Accordingly, the wind rose, and it started to rain. The leading actor and actress were breaking up amidst the backdrop of the torrential rain.

It was so melodramatic.

Pei Zhen was embarrassed to the point of choking just reading the lines of the script.

“Hey, stop frowning.” They owed the director a favor. Knowing that Pei Zhen detested such storylines, Xiao Nian could only try his best to pacify him. “Do your best. The faster you get through this, the faster we can leave.”

Pei Zhen grunted lazily to indicate he understood. “Since when would your Daddy not give his best effort?”

Pei Zhen had a relaxed personality and air of nonchalance. Acting was about the only thing that he would be serious about.

Xiao Nian sniggered; he had prepared a big towel to give Pei Zhen as an indication that he could go all out for the ‘rain scene’.

Pei Zhen was twenty-five years old. In the entertainment circle terms, he wasn’t ‘young’. Good genes gave him a handsome face and skin that was smoother than most women’s.

With his makeup and costume on, it would seem that he was even younger than the female lead when he stepped in front of the crowd.

“How dashing.”

“So dashing!”

“The cutest guy in my high school wasn’t even this cute!”

“Woohoo, who can be better looking than Pei Zhen? Pei Pei is my brilliant moonlight!”

Excited shrieking could be heard from the girls on the side, especially when Pei Zhen looked in their direction and gave a smile—it immediately drew a frenzied response.

Before she could even utter the words “Pei… Pei…” and “Teacher”, the up-and-coming leading lady standing before Pei Zhen was already blushing furiously. Lowering her head, she said with reverence, “I’m so sorry for the sudden change in plans and that it has caused you to have to come at such an hour of the night to film.”

“A small matter.” Pei Zhen’s expression was quite indifferent. “Let’s film.”

“Sure, sure… I’d appreciate your guidance…”

The so-called ‘rain scene’ was naturally man-made.

The ‘rain’ was created using a water hose.

The actors took their positions, and the assistants held up the hose. Once the director gave the go-ahead, the cold water beat down onto the actors relentlessly.

“I-I no longer love you.” The rain came down, and her face was red. The up-and-coming leading lady sounded like a mosquito. “Let’s break up.”

“Cut…”

The director watching from the side was speechless, “Liu Lulu, why are you acting shyly? You are going through a breakup, not a love confession.”

Having been reprimanded, the up-and-coming leading lady turned white and spoke clumsily, “So… sorry. I’ll do my best.”

With good intentions, she steeled herself, waiting for the blast from the water host. However, when her eyes met Pei Zhen’s, the young lady suddenly turned red again.

Damn it.

Everyone was patient. When the director shouted ‘Cut’ again, they began to feel frustrated.

“What’s wrong? Did she have a comprehension issue? Hadn’t it been explained to her that it was a breakup?”

“Poor Pei Pei, he’s been drenched for nothing.”

“Ah, wasn’t Daddy Pei just discharged from the hospital?”

“What up-and-coming leading lady is this? Getting herself a god-father has made all the difference to her.”

There were non-stop whisperings with undertones of ridicule, causing the leading lady to flush with embarrassment. Her body tensed, but she didn’t dare to retort.

“Take a break.” Before Pei Zhen had a chance to speak up, a voice came from beyond. “We’ll continue the filming later.”
