Chapter 74 - TTFSO Chapter 74
When Tang San Yuan left Gu’s house, it was almost evening and Grandpa Gu asked him to have dinner but he politely refused.
When he left, he promised to come and visit him again sometime, and only then did Grandpa Gu let him go.
Gu An personally drove him home and saw him walk in the door before driving off.
Tang San Yuan’s was unconsciously humming a pleasant song as he entered the house. Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, Tang Bo Te was sitting in the living room waiting anxiously and he looked up when he heard the sound of his return. As a result, his eyes opened wider, his tall body trembled, shaking his fingers and pointing at Tang San Yuan, “You, you, you…”
Tang San Yuan looked up and saw Tang Bo Te’s face turning blue, his fingers trembling and his speech incoherent. Involuntarily, his face changed and he shouted loudly: “Big Dad, what’s wrong with you? Daddy, come quickly! Look at what’s wrong with Big Dad, should we call an ambulance?”
Hearing his shout, Yuan Qiu hurriedly ran down from upstairs, and together with Tang San Yuan, they anxiously gathered around Tang Bo Te, “What’s wrong with you? Where are you uncomfortable?”
Tang Bo Te finally managed to squeeze out the words, “Why have you changed your clothes?”
Yuan Qiu and Tang San Yuan both breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with Tang Bo Te.
“My clothes got dirty, so I changed.” He looked down at the clothes he was wearing and couldn’t help but be a bit puzzled, these clothes were the ones Gu An had asked the housekeeper to buy for him in his size, it fits him well, why did Big Dad react so badly?
Tang Bo Te took a deep breath, covered his chest and asked: “……How did your clothes get dirty?”
Tang San Yuan innocently said: “I touched rabbits, you don’t know, Gu An’s house has a lot of rabbits, I just couldn’t resist and touched them.”
Naturally, Yuan Qiu guessed why Tang Bo Te had asked this question, so he slapped him on the back, “What are you thinking about? You scared me to death just now.”
Knowing that his son likes rabbits, Tang Bo Te couldn’t help but feel relieved and hastened to coax his wife, “Isn’t it because I thought that San Yuan and that Gu family brat……ai! I am afraid that they are progressing too fast, they should get to know each other better first……Sorry, I made you worry, I will give you a shoulder and back massage tonight……”
When Tang San Yuan heard Tang Bo Te’s words, he instantly reacted to what Tang Bo Te was thinking of and couldn’t help but blush and run back to his room in embarrassment.
……
The video of the variety show has been edited and the first episode was aired on the weekend. The ratings and response were beyond expectation. Tang San Yuan and Gu An gathered another large wave of fans who did not watch the live broadcast, the CP fever is considered officially hot.
There is still more than a week before the next variety show shoot. During this period, Lin Da Tian and Tian Da Di arranged for Tang San Yuan to participate in Gu An’s music video shoot, which was also agreed upon in advance when they agreed to cooperate.
When Lin Da Tian informed Tang San Yuan of this, he asked with some hesitation, “There will be a kiss at the end of the music video, are you willing?” He had never arranged a kiss scene for Tang San Yuan before, he was too eager when he first approached Tian Da Di to work together and agreed without thinking about it. Now he inexplicably had the illusion of selling his child and couldn’t help but think that they were making a huge sacrifice in order to get rid of Cai Ke Ke, that dog skin plaster.
Tang San Yuan’s first reaction was to ask, “Is the kissing partner Gu An?”
Lin Da Tian replied without much thought, “En, Da Di said that Gu An will be acting in the music video himself this time, so the actor you are acting opposite is Gu An.”
Tang San Yuan remembered the fleeting kiss on the lawn and his cheeks involuntarily flushed. Although he was still a little nervous, he had already kissed once anyway, so it shouldn’t be too difficult this time.
He didn’t have to think too long before agreeing, if his first on-screen kiss could be with Gu An, he would at least not be so disgusted.
Lin Da Tian and Tian Da Di quickly arranged the filming and within a few days, it was time for the shoot.
The main theme of Gu An’s album this time is a sweet and light-hearted love song, so the theme of this music video is also based on sweet dating, mostly some sweet scenes. Tang San Yuan got the script and read it, there should be no problem shooting, except for the kiss scene, the other scenes are not too difficult.
On the day of shooting the music video, Gu An did not ask Lin Da Tian to pick him up, but drove him to the set himself.
When the staff saw the two of them coming together, they were all a bit surprised. The two of them have many scandals now but they still appeared together so openly and even shooting a music video together. Are they not afraid of scandals at all, or are they really in love?
Some people speculated that they were in love, while others did not think so. The entertainment industry is full of real and fakes, how can there be so many real love.
When Gu An’s eyes swept over them, everyone hastily lowered their heads and pretended to go about their business.
Tang San Yuan and Gu An went to the makeup room after greeting the director together. The makeup artist gave them some simple makeup, they both had good bases and it went quickly. After the two finished their makeup, the costume assistant brought over the costumes to be worn in the first scene.
Tang San Yuan took a look at the costume and was instantly embarrassed, it was a rabbit costume with pink ears and a cute tail. Although Tang San Yuan liked it very much, he was still a bit embarrassed to wear it with so many people around.
Gu An said: “Xiao San Ge has to been wronged, it’s necessary for shooting of the MV.”
Lin Da Tian bowed his head in embarrassment and pretended that he didn’t hear. He thought about his salary and decided not to tell Tang San Yuan that Gu An had suggested adding this rabbit costume.
Tang San Yuan originally likes rabbit clothes, when he heard Gu An say this, he did not hesitate any longer, nodded, and went into the dressing room to change into the rabbit suit.
When he came out, the room was quiet for a moment, everyone’s eyes fell on his body and then held their breath. The rabbit costume looked like it was tailor-made for him, with long ears hanging on the top of Tang San Yuan’s head, his fair face was very cute agains the rabbit costume, and his clear, dark eyes were wide open. His long eyelashes fluttered, his sweet red lips were slightly open, and you could see the white, neat teeth inside.
……So cute.
This thought surfaced in everyone’s mind at the same time, but they only dared to vomit blood in their hearts, even one more look was a luxury, only Gu An reached out and touched Tang San Yuan’s rabbit ears.
……They also want to touch ah! The others watched silently, envious that it wasn’t themselves.
Gu An was wearing a light-coloured shirt with straight trousers which complemented his slender legs, making him look young and energetic. His lips were faintly smiling, his eyes were bright, and he was so handsome that he made people unable to bear looking at him directly.
Tang San Yuan looked at him with crystal eyes and secretly complimented him in his heart, so handsome ah.
The two lead actors took their places and the shooting was about to begin.
The first scene is the one where they meet for the first time in the music video and fall in love at first sight.
Tang San Yuan is selling balloons in an amusement park wearing a bunny suit. When Gu An sees him, he stands in place for a while and then builds up the courage to walk over and buy a balloon.
Tang San Yuan chose the prettiest one and handed it to him. The moment their eyes meet, love sprouted in their hearts.
Gu An and Tang San Yuan had previous experience of going to the amusement park together, and they had a good tacit understanding of each other, so the scene was shot smoothly, practically passed in one take.
They followed the director’s instructions and shot a few more scenes, namely their first date, drinking the same cup of coffee in a cafe, sharing a room together on the pretext of sharing the rent. Although they hadn’t confessed their love for each other yet, ambiguity flowed between them. When cleaning, their fingers came closer and they finally held hands, their ten fingers entwined. They took a lot of pictures together and put them on the wall in the room, the two of them looked at the pictures together and laughed……
In these shots, they grew closer and closer, the love in their eyes about to spill out, as if they are just one final kiss away from confirming their relationship.
These scenes are linked together, Gu An and Tang San Yuan are like experiencing a love affair. Tang San Yuan’s heart is as warm as the weather today, so falling in love is this kind of feeling. He never felt sweetness before when he was filming in the past. In this MV, he clearly felt it.
The atmosphere of the filming scene was relaxed and sweet. Gu An and Tang San Yuan had incomparable tacit understanding, the whole shooting speed was improved a lot. The director was all smiles and the crew was happy, but they couldn’t help but look inquisitively between Gu An and Tang San Yuan, as if they wanted to observe from their interaction whether they were acting or really in love.
Even Lin Da Tian, who was standing on the sidelines, could not help but wonder if these two people had known each other for a long time, otherwise how could their relationship progress so quickly? If he wasn’t so sure that these two had really only known each other for a short while, he would have suspected that they were in love.
He was relieved to think that the ‘San Gu’ CP was not on fire and heaven forbid, even he thought they looked like a good match standing together, but he always felt that atmosphere between them was strange, as if they were not just frying CP, but he couldn’t tell what was strange between them.
He couldn’t help but poke Tian Da Di who was next to him and ask, lowering his voice and asking in a whisper: “Do you feel that the atmosphere between them is a bit strange?”
Tian Da Di gave him a wordless look, then handed him the milk tea he hadn’t drunk in his hand.
Lin Da Tian was touched as he took the milk tea in his hand, instantly forgetting the doubts he had just had, “Da Di, thank you.”
Tian Da Di: “……”
He silently answered the question Lin Da Tian just asked in his heart: the atmosphere between them is not strange, but a bright sweet ambiguity, it’s just that the fried CP has blinded your eyes and you just can’t see it.
The scene that was expected to take two days to shoot was almost done in just one day because Tang San Yuan and Gu An performed well enough to confuse the real with the fake.
Tang San Yuan had already changed into several sets of clothes today, one for each scene, and he was now changing into his last set of clothes and was about to start filming the last scene, the most important scene of the whole MV – the kiss scene.
Tang San Yuan finished changing and walked out, sitting down on a bench.
It was already dark and the scene was to be shot at night, the surroundings were pitch-black, with only the warm yellow glow of the street lamps overhead. The staff around him were busy working, but he couldn’t help but get a little nervous. Although his heart had already been prepared, but with so many people were watching him kissing Gu An, he was still somewhat embarrassed.
Gu An was standing behind the director watching the video that had just been shot. His tall and slender figure stood out among the crowd, Tang San Yuan took one look and then withdrew his gaze, not daring to look again, because his eyes always fell, intentionally or unintentionally, on Gu An’s lips and his cheeks were inexplicably hot.
Gu An glanced in Tang San Yuan’s direction, then walked over and pinched his cheeks, peeling a milk candy and putting it into his mouth, “Just look at me later, no need to pay attention to others.”
Tang San Yuan bit into the milk candy in his mouth, the sweet milk flavour spread in his mouth, his tone lightened a little and he replied with a bowed head, “Okay.”
Gu An faintly smiled and sat down next to him, peeling a candy and throwing it into his mouth, quietly accompanying Tang San Yuan.
Because the kiss scene to be shot next was the main highlight of this MV, the director finished checking the video he had just shot and came over, wanting to talk to the two about the plot.
The director sat down opposite them and spoke in a low voice: “This final shot of the MV is the part of the plot where you two have the most elevated feelings for each other, you have to show your attachment to each other, your eyes should contain feelings for each other, that feeling of passionate love should flow naturally from the corner of your eyebrows and eyes, so that the audience can feel that you are in love with each other just by looking at it, and it is best if they are able to empathise with the sweetness of your relationship and the eagerness to be together.”
His voice paused for a while, then turned to look at Gu An. After all, Tang San Yuan is an actor, so it should not be difficult for him to act out that feeling of attachment, but he is a bit worried about Gu An, who is a singer and has little acting experience, and has always been aloof. He has cooperated with Gu An for so many years and he has never seen Gu An show warmth to anyone, as if no one can get into Gu An’s eyes.
So he was worried that Gu An would not be able to show the kind of love and tenderness needed in the MV and wanted to give him a few words of guidance, but before he could say anything, he looked up and saw Gu An’s face glowing with tenderness as he stared at the corner of Tang San Yuan’s mouth, then reached out to wipe the sugar stains on the corner of his mouth.
“……” The director thought he might have overthought it just now, Gu An didn’t need his guidance at all.
Gu An’s eyes were already so gentle now that water was about to drip out of them, if he strengthened them even more, he was going to drown the audience.
He was silent for a while, gave a low coughed and continued to explain the script: “In short, later on you have to show a feeling of just being in love, with the probing and fumbling for each other, the feelings becoming thicker step by step, the eyes better entwine with each other at all times, both afraid of being discovered by each other, but also eager to be discovered by each other. When the feelings is thick, a kiss will happen as a matter of course1水到渠成 (shuǐ dào qú chéng): an idiom, meaning that when the conditions are ripe, things will naturally succeed.. This kiss is filled with tenderness, fondness, and strong love for each other, happening naturally……”
The director lowered his head for half a day, raised his head opposite, his voice stalled for a moment and he fell into silence again.
……Can you two stop looking at each other affectionately and turn your heads to look at me? Please take a look at your serious and responsible director!
The director walked away in dismay, feeling that his worries just now were superfluous, these two didn’t need to act, they were already so mushy he didn’t want to watch.
He immediately put all the crew in position and prepared to start shooting.
The lighting crew and cameraman were in position, Gu An and Tang San Yuan were standing face to face, while the cameraman and lighting crew were looking for an angle, they were just quietly looking at each other, brewing their feelings.
Because the scene for the MV mainly pursues aesthetics, so the place was beautifully decorated, the sky was dotted with stars, the moon was pure and bright, and the normally noisy streets became silent.
As soon as the clapperboard rang, the crew lit the Kong Ming lanterns that had been prepared. Countless Kong Ming lanterns slowly rose behind them, shimmering with light and fluttering in the wind, a splendid night scene.
The warmth of the lights shone on Gu An’s face, softening his originally sharp jawline. Tang San Yuan looked at him, his eyes softened unconsciously.
Tang San Yuan always focused on his acting skills when he acted but this time, he didn’t have acting skills in mind, he just followed his feelings. The staff around him gradually faded away, and the Kong Ming lanterns in the sky also became distant and hazy, only Gu An was close at hand, just as Gu An had said, Tang San Yuan only looked at him, and his blank mind could not see anyone else.
The closer they got, the closer they could feel each other’s breath, with a hint of the sweet smell of milk sugar, the fresh scent came to them, and their lips slowly came closer together in a moist, soft kiss.
The kiss was undoubtedly tender, from the beginning with a trembling probing to later becoming more and more unrestrained, none of it was gentle, they were fierce and excited, as if they were trying to invade each other’s hearts, tightly trying to seize each other’s breaths.
The fiery kiss made Tang San Yuan forget to think, just clutching the front of Gu An’s shirt tightly, unconsciously pressing himself even closer to him.
Sensing his small movements, Gu An gently rubbed the back of his neck and gradually deepened the kiss, soothing him with his lips and teeth.
The director was thrilled to see the performance of the two as they fully met the emotional transformation required in the MV. Looks like this scene could be passed in one take and he could get off work early today.
But after watching for a while, he couldn’t help but look away, and decided to be merciful and call ‘cut’ a little later, so that they could kiss for a little longer, after all, they were kissing so hard that it was hard to break them up. If he shouts ‘cut’ now, he would feel like a sinner.
Not sure how long had passed, until the crew frequently looked over, with amazement and confusion in their eyes, before the director finally shouted, “Cut!”
Tang San Yuan’s mind was half a beat slow in receiving the message that he needed to stop. Gu An pressed his neck before he half opened his watery eyes and he even looked at Gu An with some blame.
Gu An hooked up the corners of his mouth and smiled a little before their lips gradually parted.
Tang San Yuan’s mind was in turmoil, he was red-faced and panting slightly, trembling from the strong and intense kiss he had just received, his Omega instincts making him weak all over, as if he was about to lose his footing.
Gu An opened his arms to embrace him in time and let him lean into his arms.
Tang San Yuan’s cheeks were red, the tips of his ears were red, his lips were even redder, only his eyes were hazily watery, he pressed his cheek against Gu An’s chest, feeling the sound of his heartbeat, panting softly. The surroundings were quiet, the crew walked around packing up the filming stuff, but no one came to disturb them, it was as if they were separated from everyone, only they were quietly leaning together, forming a separate little world.
After his breathing had gradually settled down, Tang San Yuan tilted his head slightly to look at Gu An, and there was a look of attachment in his eyes that he himself had not noticed.
Gu An looked into his moist eyes, curved his lips, lowered his head slightly and placed a gentle kiss on Tang San Yuan’s forehead.
melon: omg what a hot first kiss 🙈🙈🙈
Also I find it super funny that Tian Da Di shoves food to Lin Da Tian whenever the latter asks him something he finds hard to answer. 🤣1水到渠成 (shuǐ dào qú chéng): an idiom, meaning that when the conditions are ripe, things will naturally succeed.
