Meeting You Is My Simple Happiness

Chapter 39: Longing

When Ye Mu—who was standing by the side—heard the director’s words, though there wasn’t much change to her face, the corner of her eyes smiled involuntarily. She was suddenly really grateful to the investor of this film. The opinions that he had put forth were so humane!

Since there was no need to shoot intimate scenes with Song Zhuochen, Ye Mu was naturally happy.

Director Zhao Ling was currently discussing the changes with the assistant director, so the actors for the later scenes could rest for now. Ye Mu did not enter the resting lounge, so Song Zhuochen stared at her and walked towards her, with sourness in his voice, “It’s your loss that you won’t be able to film a kissing scene with me. Why is it that you seem to be quite happy instead?”

“Not at all.” Ye Mu beamed at Song Zhuochen in a rare show of happiness as she said, “I regret not being able to shoot a kiss scene with Emperor-Grade Film Actor Song.”

She said it so insincerely that even Song Zhuochen could hear it. He stared at her tightly and snorted coldly, “Not that I, the master, am bragging but my kiss is the kiss of fortune. Turn around and see, those actresses who have shot kissing scenes with me, which of them isn’t a big hit? This is called the prospering fate of the protagonist, do you understand?”

“Is that so? How truly mysterious.” Ye Mu applauded with a congratulatory clap and laughed, dealing with Song Zhuochen off-handedly, “Then, such an opportunity should be left for others. I don’t need it.”

After speaking, she turned around and called out to Ji An, “Sister Ji, I want to return to the resting lounge.”

Both of Song Zhuochen’s hands were stuffed into his pockets as he stared at Ye Mu’s back profile. The disdain from a moment ago faded and he revealed a light smile, “Interesting.”

As there were some modifications to the intimate scenes at the last minute, plenty of changes were made to the script lines. Ye Mu had to memorize some of the lines once more but she had a pretty good memory when it came to memorizing the script.

When they were done with the preparations, the make-up artist touched up Ye Mu’s make-up before she rushed to the site for the classroom scene. Zhao Ling was currently explaining the scenario to Song Zhuochen seriously so when Ye Mu arrived, he waved towards her, “Ye Mu, come over here.”

Ye Mu walked over and Zhao Ling pointed at Song Zhuochen while telling her, “Later on, when Zhuochen pulls you, remember to shake him off as hard as you can. You have a crying scene in this scenario so let your emotions burst out more fully.”

Listening solemnly, Ye Mu nodded her head.

Satisfied, the director retreated behind the camera to watch. Ye Mu sat on her seat while there were groups of actors acting as students around her. The director started with a panoramic shot before focusing on a close-up shot of the worry on Song Zhuochen’s face.

Suddenly, the after-school bell rang. The camera lens pointed at Ye Mu alone and she started putting her things away. The majority of her classmates had left, so she carried her own books and was about to leave when Song Zhuochen quickly pulled her to a stop.

“What are you doing!” Ye Mu frowned and tried shaking Song Zhuochen’s hand off.

Song Zhuochen was surprisingly in character, and spoke coldly “We should have a talk!”

“I don’t have anything to talk to you about!” Breathless, Ye Mu struggled out of his hand and avoided looking at him.

“Did my mom look for you before? Did she say something to you?” Song Zhuochen frowned too.

Ye Mu raised her head stubbornly to look at him, “Is that important? Moreover, whatever she said was the truth, wasn’t it? You’re the eldest son of a wealthy family while I’m just an impoverished student—marrying me won’t do you any good!”

Absorbed in her role, Ye Mu’s eyes reddened swiftly and she laughed in derision, “Didn’t you tell your mom too, that you can only play around with a woman with such a strong ego like me, and that you won’t fall in love? Young Master, sorry but I don’t have the time to play with you…”

She hadn’t finished speaking when Song Zhuochen snatched her into his embrace. Ye Mu rapidly calmed down as the following scenes were all Song Zhuochen’s monologue.

The scenes were filmed so well that there was almost no break to their rivalry scene.

The director called the scene to a stop in satisfaction and praised the two of them, “Looks like I didn’t choose the wrong actors! Fantastic!”

Ye Mu smiled with difficulty. When Song Zhuochen hugged her just now, he had used too much strength and knocked into her so hard that her chest was still aching now.

During the intermission, everyone was putting the things away in a hurry and Song Zhuochen’s footsteps shifted towards Ye Mu, his pair of eyes brushed onto her chest ambiguously, “Who knew that despite looking thin and weak, your figure is actually so well-developed. That feeling, tsk tsk…”

“Shut up!” Without giving Song Zhuochen a chance to talk, Ye Mu’s complexion turned pink and she hurriedly moved further away from him.

Since there was no longer any intimate scene, Ye Mu’s acting skills simply exploded. The filming went very smooth for the whole day, so Ye Mu calculated the amount of shots taken today to estimate that this movie could be filmed completely within one month. But, did she really have to stay here for a month?

On the way back to the hotel, Ye Mu called Mo Shen.

“Are you still working?” Ye Mu inquired in concern.

Mo Shen denied softly, “No.”

“How was the filming today?” Mo Shen asked her after replying to her question.

Taking a deep breath, Ye Mu was obviously a little tired, “It’s still alright. I did the math today and found out that I’ll need to shoot for a month before we can wrap things up. But I’ve asked the director already; I can take a few days of leave off in the middle. Once I finish shooting the school campus portion, I’ll ask for leave to go home.”

“Okay, you can be busy but take note of your body. Do you understand?” Mo Shen reminded her warmly with his calm and magnetic voice.

Although Mo Shen couldn’t see the expression on her face right now, Ye Mu could not help but nod heavily, “I understand.”

“I’m at the hotel already, so I’ll hang up first. Young Uncle, rest early.” Ye Mu alighted from the car and walked towards the hotel entrance.

Mo Shen hummed in agreement, “Goodnight.”

Putting her hand phone away, Ye Mu looked at it and a sense of longing surged in her heart uncontrollably. It had only been two days since they parted but she was actually feeling heartache from thinking about Mo Shen.

Ye Mu was still young after all and her eyes reddened from thinking about it.

Ye Mu was still young after all, and her eyes reddened from thinking about it. She opened her own room door, sniffed and closed it behind her. But before she could turn around, a fleshy wall suddenly pressed up to her from behind, hugging her in a tight embrace. Frightened badly, Ye Mu’s whole body stiffened. She wanted to break free immediately after, but she hadn’t even started to struggle yet when the ‘fleshy wall’ spoke.

“Did you miss me?”

This time, Ye Mu’s body became even more rigid. Didn’t this voice belong to the man whom she was suddenly longing for?

She turned around slightly and she saw that it was Mo Shen indeed. The panic on her face turned into surprise in the next moment as she asked aloud, “Why have you come?

Also, he didn’t have the key so how did he enter?

“I came here to see you.” Taking advantage of his tall stature, Mo Shen lifted his hand to caress the crown of her head as he circled his arm around her waist and asked lightly, “Was today’s shoot exhausting?”

Ye Mu’s eyes couldn’t move away from Mo Shen’s figure.

Staring at him, she nodded her head, “Mhmm, a little.”

No matter how hard it was, seeing him at this moment, she seemed to have forgotten somewhat.

Mo Shen lowered his eyes to look at her while she raised hers to gaze at him. Mo Shen raised her chin and chuckled, “Does little madam know that looking at a man so intently like this is a form of temptation?”

Ye Mu’s complexion blushed and looking at his fetching lips, the deer running amok in her heart became somewhat out of control. She rose on her toes to kiss him lightly on his thin lips.

She had truly missed him; that’s why she couldn’t control herself.

Mo Shen was slightly taken aback. This was her first time taking the initiative. With a smile concealed in Mo Shen’s eyes, he pinched her chin with his clearly defined hand and deepened this kiss with tenderness and dominance.

His hand enclosed her tightly into his embrace. Without a doubt, he had also missed her at the same time—the palm restraining her waist almost kneaded her into his own body.

“Were you fine in the past two days?” Mo Shen’s voice was full of concern as he inquired. He was most worried that she had encountered some grievances while the two of them were apart from each other.”Have you been fine these few days?” Mo Shen’s voice was full of concern as he inquired. He was most worried about whether she wasn’t happy during these few days of them not seeing each other.

But luckily, Ye Mu nodded her head, “Mhmm, I’m still all right…”

In the production team, although the conditions weren’t great, they wouldn’t be too bad. She didn’t make a mistake so no one would make things hard for her either. She only missed him somewhat.

“What about you?” Ye Mu queried yet again. When these two met, they were still most concerned about each other’s lives.

Mo Shen stroked her hair softly and the corner of his mouth curved into a mesmerizing smile, “I’m doing fine too.”
