Chapter 847: An Awkward Scene
Translator: Lan_ Editor: Efydatia
Even though she was a slender girl, Zhou Xun was still too heavy for Qin Guan. The two of them seemed to be suffering amid the beautiful landscape.
Qin Guan walked with difficulty down the trembling bamboo bridge as butterflies and singing birds flew around him. The scene was dark, yet also funny.
At the end of the scene, Qin Guan was faced with a great difficulty.
I'm fine with swimming in the clean river, but why do I have to pee? Although only his naked back would be visible, Qin Guan still felt terrible.
"You will be making a sacrifice for art!"
"No! This is not art!"
"This is an outlet for a simple young man living in nature!"
"Peeing is an outlet?"
"I'll give you three kilos of Hani veal for your wife!"
"10!"
"Deal!"
Qin Guan sold himself out for food.
Jiang cleared away all the idlers, leaving only the cameraman on set.
The clear, cool river was waiting for Qin Guan's esteemed presence amid the sunny day.
Qin Guan was wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt and a pair of black pants. He leaned in and fell into the river. His wet clothes stuck to his body, drawing the outline of his muscles.
Qin Guan started backstroking in the river, creating a beautiful picture of a young man in nature.
Then he returned to the bank and took off all his clothes. Every inch of his skin was crying for warmth under the sunshine.
"Quick! Do it!" Jiang and the cameraman were looking at him eagerly.
It had taken him too long to take off his clothes. Let's get straight to the point!
Qin Guan was under great pressure. Everyone knew that it was impossible to carry out even an everyday task when one had four eager eyes fixed on their back.
Qin Guan was a real genius though. He was a professional actor, so he eventually managed to force some urine out.
Director Jiang was really satisfied with the result.
One should never try to discuss the meaning of a scene with an indie film director. Was this scene meaningless nonsense? Or was Jiang just sacrificing Qin Guan for the box office? Qin Guan had no idea.
Some crazy fans would go to the cinema just to watch that though.
The short story ended when Qin Guan's mother saw reason. While she had been pregnant, her husband had cheated on her and fallen in love with a Russian woman in the army. Thus, he had died in shame instead of dying a martyr. Zhou Yun had returned to his hometown with his ashes and raised his child.
Suddenly, she came back to her senses, got rid of her love for her husband and son, and threw herself into the river.
A pair of red embroidered shoes floated in the river as the old Russian song "Katyusha" played. Its hidden meaning was really profound.
If it wasn't for Jiang's explanation, Zhou Yun and Qin Guan would never have understood its subtle connotation.
