Yuan Shu was stunned for a moment. Then, she felt that her heart seemed to be beating faster all of a sudden. How strange. She wasn’t exercising or frightened, so why did her heart suddenly beat faster?
“Yuan Shu?” Shi Xiao called her again since Yuan Shu didn’t reply.
“Huh?” Yuan Shu immediately turned around. “What’s wrong?”
“Can you come home and rest for a few days after filming today?”
Yuan Shu answered Shi Xiao seriously and even told him her schedule. “Yes. There’s still the last scene. It’ll be around three in the afternoon after filming the last scene.”
At the thought that the two of them would meet soon, Shi Xiao’s longing for the past few days overcame him. For a moment, he didn’t know what tone to use to make himself sound calm, so he said awkwardly, “Yes.”
Right on the heels of that, Shi Xiao said, “1’11 pick you up at three in the afternoon.”
Yuan Shu nodded slightly. Then, she remembered that Shi Xiao couldn’t see her through the phone, so she said in a low voice, “Okay, see you in the afternoon.”
After hanging up, Shi Xiao’s mood obviously improved. Looking at her boss’s overjoyed appearance, Zhao Mian couldn’t help but think of a recent saying. “If I can see you tonight, my mood will be blissful for the entire day because anticipation is also a joyful thing.”
Zhao Mian clicked her tongue. Indeed, when in love, even the coldest person would become a gentle person.
However, when she thought about how Shi Xiao and Yuan Shu were both beautiful and decisive, Zhao Mian couldn’t remain calm.
Zhao Mian decided that even if she didn’t take an afternoon nap today, she had to finish her work in advance and let Young Master have time to look for Young Madam in advance!
Because Zhang Zhang had added a horse riding scene at the last minute and the horse had yet to be borrowed, the director brought Yuan Shu’s scene forward at the last minute. Hence, at two o’clock, Yuan Shu had already finished filming today’s scene.
Yuan Shu also remembered that Shi Xiao was coming to pick her up today and didn’t want him to wait too long. Hence, as soon as the filming ended, she went to the dressing room to remove her makeup and change her clothes.
Yuan Shu chose her outfit carefully today. She usually chose her outfit randomly, but today, she spent quite a while choosing. Only when she was satisfied did she go to the changing room to change.
The shirt was made of light material and had tie-dyed prints, so it was unique yet versatile. The shirt was very droopy and smooth to the touch. When it was matched with a small black sling and a pair of jeans, in the blink of an eye, Yuan Shu became a fashionable beauty.
She looked at herself in the mirror carefully. After removing her heavy foundation, she looked fresh-faced and beautiful.
However, she had been a little tired these two days and her complexion wasn’t very good. Her lips were a little pale, so Yuan Shu looked at something called lip gloss, which the makeup artist had brought over from the dressing table, before applying it to her lips. Only then did she leave the dressing room in satisfaction.
Yuan Shu wanted to wait for Shi Xiao outside the film studio, so she took a walk around the area.
However, as soon as she came out of the dressing room and passed by the filming set, she was stopped by Jiang Chen, who was sitting at the side and watching.
“Yuan Shu, let’s watch Zhang Zhang’s scenes together. She’s so infectious!”
Yuan Shu didn’t really want to see it, but she couldn’t bring herself to refuse, so she sat next to Jiang Chen and watched it seriously.
In this scene, the character played by Zhang Zhang had just started learning how to ride a horse. Then, her fiance took the horse for a walk in the horse farm.
Zhang Zhang portrayed the shyness and sweetness of a young girl who was about to get married perfectly. She wasn’t too pretentious or too aloof. She grasped the role perfectly.
Moreover, she had completely overcome her fear of riding a horse for the first time today. She forcefully resisted the urge to hug the horse’s neck to stabilize her body in order to make her posture more natural.
Yuan Shu had learned how to ride a horse before, so of course she knew how difficult it was to overcome fear the first time one got on a horse. Zhang Zhang’s performance now was much better than the first time she got on a horse.
Yuan Shu was impressed with Zhang Zhang..
