The Villain Just Wants to be a Salted Fish - Chapter 120

On October 16, the filming of “After the Rain” officially began.

After all, this was He Jinyun’s first directing without the help of others.

To be honest, Ye Zexi was a little worried at first.

But since He Jinyun began to talk to Ye Zexi and Tang Jing in the morning, the worries in Ye Zexi’s heart quickly dissipated.

After the first scene, Ye Zexi was extremely relaxed.

Upon seeing this, when He Jinyun left, Tang Jing couldn’t help but said, “You are in a better condition now than before.”

Ye Zexi curled his lips and smiled: “You can see it again!”

Tang Jing smiled and shrugged: “Your expression is too obvious, Director He must have noticed it too, but due to my presence, he didn’t say anything.” Since yesterday, Tang Jing had changed his calling to He Jinyun.

Now in the set, almost half of the people still called He Jinyun as Film Emperor He, and the other half had started to call Director He like Tang Jing.

Ye Zexi originally wanted to tease him by calling his boyfriend Director He. But before he could speak, he was interrupted by He Jinyun.

“Be normal!”

Thinking of this, Ye Zexi’s smile deepened slightly.

“It seems that I can’t be too obvious later.” Ye Zexi said.

Tang Jing was noncommittal.

The first filming started soon.

Ye Zexi had always been in the state very quickly, and Tang Jing was not bad, a hearty rivalry scene ended, and there was a round of applause.

He Jinyun also stood up from behind the monitor and gave them thumbs up.

Ye Zexi smiled back.

The next shooting went smoother.

He Jinyun did a lot of research without Ye Zexi knowing. On the set, he was a strict director pursuing excellence.

But once the filming was over, when only Ye Zexi was present, this person would turn into the usual lazy appearance. He would want to be kissed, if he did not get his kiss, he would act on it.

But Ye Zexi was the only one who could appreciate this change.

Ye Zexi was happy, and at the same time more comfortable.

One thing needed to be said that people around them are people they acknowledged, and everyone knew that he and He Jinyun are together. What was the happiest thing for lovers in the entertainment industry?!

Of course, they can show affection anytime, anywhere, regardless of the eyes of the people around them!

This was too important to Ye Zexi, he was originally not the type who likes to hide and tuck.

He joined the same crew as He Jinyun because he wanted to spend more time with He Jinyun.

So in the “After the Rain” crew, such a scene would be shown every day——

After Ye Zexi finished filming the scene, he didn’t wait for He Jinyun to speak, and came to sit next to He Jinyun.

At this time, He Jinyun would feed Ye Zexi some fruit or some water before he got up to talk to other actors.

Although He Jinyun was usually easy-going and easy to get along with, during filming, he deserved to be called Chen Zhengtian’s student as he was strict as the man.

They would keep on retaking the scene until perfect, after all, He Jinyun had a lot of time.

Obviously, many people had been scolded by He Jinyun, and some staff members even quietly made their own data, it had been half a month since the filming started, they made a list of actors who had been scolded on the set.

After finishing the data, everyone looked at each other with a meaningful look.

Ye Zexi was the only one who had not been scolded yet.

But to say that He Jinyun was being biased, he really was not.

Because Ye Zexi’s performance in every scene could be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.

It was also at this time that many people finally understood why the two famous directors Chen Zhengtian and Li Kai both wanted to cooperate with Ye Zexi so much.

Ye Zexi was worth it!

In this regard, Ye Zexi and He Jinyun had no idea.

Time came to November in the blink of an eye.

The weather was getting cooler gradually, but “After the Rain” was a youth school movie after all. Therefore, even when the temperature in the capital was getting close to zero, the actors still wore thin layer of school uniforms.

When filming that day, Ye Zexi couldn’t help but sneeze, and so that was the first NG he had throughout the filming.

Upon seeing this, He Jinyun stood up from behind the monitor. Before he could speak, Gao Shu next to him rushed over to wrap Ye Zexi in a down jacket and handed Ye Zexi a cup of hot water.

“No, it’s okay.” Ye Zexi didn’t answer, and looked at He Jinyun, “Keep going?”

He Jinyun nodded and motioned to the makeup artist to touch up the actor’s makeup.

Then he called Yu Ye: “Are there any heat packs that I often used before?”

Yu Ye: “…Yes, I will get them now.”

He Jinyun nodded and added: “By the way, buy a few more high-quality heaters, put one here, and send some to the other actors too.”

Yu Ye responded and hurriedly sent someone to buy some heaters.

Although the scene did not last for a long time, Ye Zexi still got a little cold after shooting for half a day.

Ye Zexi sneezed several times while sitting next to He Jinyun eating his lunch at noon.

He Jinyun was originally watching the replay. He wrinkled his eyebrows when he heard the sneeze: “You can take a rest in the afternoon.”

Ye Zexi paused the chopsticks in his hand. He glanced at He Jinyun and said with a smile: “Director He is openly favoring me in front of everyone, what? Feeling distressed?”

He Jinyun’s gaze fell on the tip of Ye Zexi’s red nose, his eyes were a little distressed, and he nodded straightforwardly: “Yeah, I feel distressed.”

Ye Zexi’s smile deepened: “It’s all right, kiss me if you feel bad about it!”

He Jinyun didn’t hesitate at all, and he leaned forward, his warm lips fell on the corners of Ye Zexi’s lips.

Yu Ye, who rushed over to deliver the heater: “…”

Forget it, he should have gotten used to it.

Yu Ye simply pretended not to see it, and walked over with the heater.

“Brother He, Brother Ye, I’ve brought the heater.” After saying that, Yu Ye plugged in the heater and put the remote control on the table for them. After doing all this, Yu Ye quickly slipped away.

Ye Zexi licked the corner of his mouth, looked at the heater by his feet, blinked and said, “Thank you, Director He!”

He Jinyun smiled helplessly: “You should go back to the hotel after eating, or go back to the RV to rest. I will reschedule your part from this afternoon to tomorrow.”

Ye Zexi raised his eyebrows when he heard this: “Hey, I only sneeze twice. Does Teacher He feel so distressed?”

He Jinyun didn’t want to reason with him, just stretched out his hand and rubbed the youth’s head: “Be good and listen.”

Ye Zexi’s tone became more serious: “I don’t need to go back to rest, I know my own body.”

He Jinyun and Ye Zexi looked at each other.

Ye Zexi’s eyes were very firm.

He Jinyun persisted for a second, then sighed inwardly without holding back, “Are you really okay?”

Ye Zexi nodded: “Of course I’m okay!”

“Alright.” After a moment, He Jinyun nodded, “You can go to the RV and put on some heat packs before going out.”

Ye Zexi couldn’t hold back his joy when he heard this: “Teacher He, you are very attentive! I’m not that delicate, right?”

When Ye Zexi first entered the entertainment industry, even at minus ten degrees, he could bounce around in his summer clothes. Even in order not to produce white mist while talking during the shooting, he would suck on ice cubes before the shooting.

He Jinyun did not explain this time, but gave Ye Zexi a deep look.

Ye Zexi inadvertently looked into the man’s ink-colored eyes, and was immediately stunned on the spot.

The man’s eyes were full of seriousness, and there were hidden worries.

He Jinyun was really worried about him.

Ye Zexi came to such a realization.

There was a burst of warmth from the tip of his heart, even hotter than the heater at his feet.

Ye Zexi couldn’t hold back the corners of his mouth. He moved the chair and leaned toward He Jinyun. He lowered his voice and said, “Okay, I know Teacher He is worried about me, but we are shooting right now, right? When Teacher He is being considerate of me, he must also be considerate of other staff members. Don’t waste other people’s time because of me. Besides, I really am okay.”

He Jinyun frowned slightly before saying: “We’re not delaying anything, we are not in a rush to finish this movie, also I won’t deduct the staff’s bonus.”

Ye Zexi was happy when he heard these words, put down the lunch box, went up and kissed He Jinyun loudly on the face, coaxing the man and saying, “Okay, I know that Teacher He will not be so stingy! But I’m not sick or anything, so don’t worry, okay?”

He Jinyun was still unwilling to give in: “Before, you sneezed three times in the row, and you had a fever the next day.”

Ye Zexi: “…”

He didn’t even remember it so clearly!

While frightened, it was more heartwarming. Ye Zexi knew very well that the man in front of him really put him first in his heart.

“How about I finish the work as soon as possible in the afternoon?” Ye Zexi gave in, “I’ll go to put on the heat packs, then take some cold effervescent medicine.”

He Jinyun did not directly refuse this time. After thinking for a while, he said: “If you feel any discomfort in the afternoon, just call it off and go back to rest.”

Of course, if he heard Ye Zexi sneeze once in the afternoon, He Jinyun would immediately stop it.

Ye Zexi curled his lips and nodded: “Don’t worry, Teacher He, I’m not that dedicated!”

For this reason, if He Jinyun tried to persuade him even more, Ye Zexi would inevitably have an argument with him.

He Jinyun felt helpless, and reached out his hand to touch Ye Zexi’s lunch box, and as expected, the lunch box had turned cold. He sighed in his heart, He Jinyun didn’t speak, only held Ye Zexi’s box lunch with one hand, and dragged Ye Zexi back to the RV with the other hand.

Ye Zexi did not struggle either.

The surrounding staff were no strangers to this scene, watching the two holding hands and getting into the RV.

He Jinyun heated the lunch box in the microwave, then asked Yu Ye to bring the heat packs over. After Ye Zexi finished his meal, He Jinyun helped him put on the heat packs as much as possible in his costume, and then he let him go.

When shooting in the afternoon, Ye Zexi obviously felt that his clothes were a bit bigger and heavier.

Tang Jing walked over to play against Ye Zexi, and saw Ye Zexi’s coat thicker than him from a distance. He couldn’t help but ask: “What’s wrong with your clothes? It feels a bit…heavier.” Looked like it was stuffed with heat packs.

Of course, Tang Jing didn’t say the remaining words.

Ye Zexi heard this, because he didn’t have a tail, otherwise his tail would be raised up high in the sky, and he unabashedly began to show off: “Tang Tang, this is called being loved!”1

Tang Jing: “…”

I should have not asked.

Why must he torture himself with dog food?
