Since Zhu Anhe’s face swelled up after he got slapped, his scene with Jing Yuanqi in the afternoon had to be skipped.

Jing Yuanqi was happy to sit back and relax. He took a page from Shi Qing’s book and moved a chair next to the film emperor.

The difference was that Shi Qing was watching other people act while he was always watching Shi Qing.

Jing Yuanqi has always been good at observing others. He had an uncanny ability to analyze the character of the other party. Naturally, he’s put his skills to use before on this film emperor-laoshi of his. But after the chili sauce incident, he suddenly found out that his analysis was majorly flawed.

This was the first time that Jing Yuanqi made a mistake like this.

It caused him to develop a keen interest in Shi Qing.

Jing Yuanqi has always been a bold and unrestrained person. He had to study the things that made him curious in great detail.

So the young man who changed out of his ancient clothing openly stared at Shi Qing the entire afternoon.

He was like a leopard that had never seen aquatic creatures before that found a mussel one day.

He wasn’t hungry, so he was in no rush to eat. He patiently swung his long tail around as he slowly retracted his sharp claws back into the pads of his feet. He carefully circled around the clam, trying to wait until the clam decided to open its hard shell to reveal the soft meat within.

The more times he went around, the more he felt like his previous impression was too superficial.

The body of the film emperor was always slightly tense under his gaze, and his whole body gave off the feeling that he was thousands of miles away. Every time Shi Qing glanced at someone, it was like he was condescendingly sparing some of his precious time to them.

But his delicate lips always remained slightly pursed. This was a sign that a person was nervous.

And although he stared at him for such a long time, Shi Qing didn’t pay him any attention. He just looked out onto the set, but his body that seemed to be languidly relaxed didn’t move an inch the entire time.

It was impossible for a normal person to be motionless for an entire afternoon. His reluctance to move must therefore be caused by external factors.

Jing Yuanqi was almost arrogant enough to attribute this phenomenon to himself.

His unabashed staring obviously made the film emperor uncomfortable.

But what kind of person could make a film emperor who has long since been in the limelight uncomfortable?

Thinking back to the chili sauce from before, an answer quietly rose in the young man’s mind.

Shi Qing treated him differently.

That was why he arranged for someone to add chili sauce to his meal.

It was also why he refused to move under his gaze.

Why would a practical stranger treat another person so differently?

The answer he arrived at succeeded in making Jing Yuanqi’s eyes dim enigmatically.

He has always been excellent in all the ways that mattered. He had countless admirers growing up, both men and women alike. To him, they were all the same.

After all, Jing Yuanqi didn’t think much of any of them.

He either disliked them for their looks or their overly pandering attitudes.

To put it another way, he was quite resistant to intimacy with another person.

But that didn’t mean Jing Yuanqi was inexperienced in these matters. He was even more proficient than the average person due to his strong learning ability.

But there wasn’t a practical subject to apply the things he happened to pick up before, so he couldn’t experiment with this sensation.

Now, Jing Yuanqi was resting on the chair casually. His peach blossom eyes were crinkled, which made him look like a bright and sunny youth. His sight lightly fell onto Shi Qing who was beside him.

The film emperor has remained in the same position for a long time.Before Jing Yuanqi came, he casually stretched out his slender body. But he was forced to sit as straight as a board because of the youth’s presence. Due to how long he has been sitting, the white shirt he was wearing was gradually soaked through by sweat.

The front was passable, but the originally white cloth on the other side had darkened and was closely sticking to Shi Qing’s back.

From Jing Yuanqi’s perspective, he could clearly make out the narrow outline of his waist beneath the damp shirt. A smooth and gentle line extended all the way down to the place you couldn’t see.

The wet fabric seemed to breathe in and out with the film emperor.

Jing Yuanqi had only four words to describe it. Very nice hand feel.

How come he didn’t find out about this before?

The holier-than-thou, gloomy film emperor-laoshi that he despised was perfectly tailored to his tastes.

But what interested him the most was Shi Qing’s evasive attitude.

As was said before, Jing Yuanqi liked to be contrary to others.

The more people liked him, the more dispassionate he was towards them.

On the other hand, the more people avoided him, the more he wanted to stick to them.

He enjoyed being emotionally manipulative. This young adult who looked cheerful and outgoing was actually more ruthless than anyone else. He wasn’t afraid of using any method or person to achieve his goals. As long as he got what he wanted, he could say with a beaming smile, “Who is this man? I sure don’t know him.”

In the span of a few seconds, the youth decided on one thing.

Shi Qing was his new target.

Jing Yuanqi did not get up. He just smiled as he sat on his chair. He leaned over slightly until he was in front of Shi Qing.

From the back, it looked like Jing Yuanqi was resting his head against Shi Qing’s chest.

“Shi-laoshi.”

The youth smiled like the sun, but his voice didn’t match his appearance in the slightest. There was an indescribable magnetic charm that seemed to attract the hearts of others. “I forgot to ask you before, but why did you send me chili sauce?”

The film emperor seemed to stop breathing as Jing Yuanqi came closer.

He was silent for several seconds.

Jing Yuanqi wasn’t in a hurry either. He maintained his position and looked up at him with a smile.

The young man was very good at putting his beauty on display. His eyes were classical peach blossom eyes. When he looked up at a person and smiled, he could almost capture a person’s thoughts completely.

It was precisely because of this movement of his that Shi Qing could look straight at him even if his eyes were half-closed.

Jing Yuanqi watched as the film emperor seemed to panic for a moment. His long eyelashes blinked quickly for quite some time. His dismissive voice came out a little faster than usual.

“You like spicy food.”

Because he likes spicy food, he ordered someone to give him devil’s pepper sauce.

Jing Yuanqi burst into laughter.

He wasn’t very loud, but his amusement was visible to everyone.

At first, Jing Yuanqi just laughed as the film emperor stared somewhat helplessly at him.

Then, bit by bit, he naturally fell into the arms of the film emperor.

To others, it looked like they were good friends sharing a joke. Jing Yuanqi happened to lose his balance and leaned on the film emperor while laughing.

In that moment, Jing Yuanqi could clearly feel that the originally soft body beneath him suddenly tighten due to his arrival.

But it didn’t matter. The meat might be tight, but he could still feel how delicate it was.

Even through the layer of clothes.

Jing Yuanqi got up in less than a minute.

Then he faced the seemingly expressionless film emperor who was, in fact, blinking his beautiful eyelashes rapidly in a panic.

The corners of his eyes wrinkled as he wore a smile on his face.

“The director said before that we have a scene together this evening.”

The young man reached out his hand and gently helped to fasten the button in front of Shi Qing’s clavicle.

The slender fingers were obviously nimble, but for some reason they deliberately covered up that beautiful clavicle very slowly.

After that, Jing Yuanqi leaned down beside Shi Qing’s ear. The edges of his lips were slightly raised. He whispered, “I can’t wait for tonight.”

With that, the young man got up and smiled radiantly again.

“I’ll be getting some dinner first. See you later.”

Shi Qing silently watched Jing Yuanqi walk away.

It was only when he couldn’t see the youth’s back anymore that he sighed.

[He’s such an flirt.]

System: [Huh? Why?]

Shi Qing bowed his head without a word. He was looking at the place where Jing Yuanqi was lying before.

A small spot there on the white shirt was now stained by sweat.

He couldn’t help but sigh again.

[He’s such a flirt.]

Although the System didn’t see anything, it still made an effort to comfort the Host who said something like that. Jing Yuanqi didn’t seem like the kind of guy to beat people up.

[Yeah, but he could still bite them.]

System: [En......]

[Tease.]

The system reassured him some more: [Host, I can activate a golden finger for you......]

However, before it had finished speaking, it heard Shi Qing add another sentence, “But I like it this way.”

System: [???]

System: [......]

Shi Qing leaned back with a satisfied expression. “Did you notice that he wants to sleep with me?”

That couldn’t be right. The System glanced at the high animosity value doubtfully. It was pretty reasonable to say that Jing Yuanqi didn’t like the host.

Shi Qing disagreed.

[Look at his animosity value towards other people.]

The System obediently pulled up those files. There was a long silence afterwards.

Shi Qing: [What did you find?]

System: [.......They’re all at 100%.]

[But he has such an enthusiastic attitude towards everyone.]

Shi Qing: [He’s pretending.]

[Jing Yuanji might look like he’s sunny and lively, but it’s all an act that he puts on to amuse himself. It’s not a big deal. Anyways, he’s gotten so used to it that it’s become second nature to him.]

[Basically, he’s a thrillseeker that’s desperate for some entertainment. It looks like that entertainment is going to be me.]

The System was a bit muddled.

[Host, what should we do then?]

[We’ll do what we must.]

Shi Qing lied down and slowly closed his eyes.

[Which is absolutely nothing. Why move when we have an eager volunteer like Jing Yuanqi? Since he likes being in complete control so much, I’ll let him take the reins.]

Shi Qing wasn’t losing out on anything.

Jing Yuanqi wanted to have fun, right? Shi Qing wanted to see when this guy would realize that fun isn’t so easy to find these days.

In the evening, the crew began to shoot the nighttime scenes.

This was a xianxia drama based on an extremely popular series. Jing Yuanqi was playing the role of an aloof youth that was in love with the heroine and became the main villain in the end.

In this scene, the main villain kidnapped the master of the heroine in order to force her to marry him.

Shi Qing was that unlucky master.

Twenty minutes before the shooting started, he was dressed in flowing robes with injuries painted on his face with makeup. He was placing a small bag of fake blood into his mouth. When he was choked by the villain played by Jing Yuanqi later, he had to bite into it and spit out blood.

Jing Yuanqi was dressed all in black, which was supposed to reflect the blackening of his character. He came over with the script.

His makeup today was the classic black makeup of villains, with a blood-red dot in the middle of his forehead. His already long eyebrows have been thickened somewhat, and his peach blossom eyes were highlighted by eyeliner.

If he put on a cold expression when they started filming, Jing Yuanqi would appear to be very intimidating and sinister. However, he looked less like a major villain and more like a seductive fox spirit when he smiled like he was doing now.

The fox spirit was right in front of Shi Qing. His rouged lips were slightly raised: “Shi-laoshi, why don’t we go over our lines?”

It was normal for co-actors in the same crew to go over their lines together. How could Shi Qing refuse such a natural request?

So the film emperor-laoshi nodded and took out the blood bag first. He turned his face according to tonight’s script. His indifferent expression became coloured by anger.

“You’ve gone insane!! A devil cultivator like you could never be worthy of Ru’er! And you’re willing to employ such despicable methods as well. If my cultivation wasn’t damaged, you would be hacked into pieces and well on your way to the underworld by now! Maybe you’ll get to be livestock in your next life!”

Jing Yuanqi also seemed to quickly get into character.

His face was blank as he stretched out his hand and grasped Shi Qing’s neck from behind. His voice was quiet and mild:

“My worth is not for the likes of you to decide.”

The scriptwriter was confused. He glanced at the script on the desk and said to the nearby assistant, “Doesn’t it say that he’s supposed to grab his neck face to face? Why is Jing Yuanqi behind Shi-laoshi?”

“It’s fine since it’s just a rehearsal. But I think standing behind him might not be such a bad idea. There’s no need to splice together different camera angles anymore because they’re both facing the same direction now.”

As they had their conversation, Shi Qing suddenly felt something was wrong. Behind him, Jing Yuanqi recited his lines coldly while his left hand that was covered by his wide sleeves slowly crept to the white belt on Shi Qing’s waist.

It was like the leopard that withdrew its sharp claws was now pawing at the shell of the clam in front of it.

The film emperor who was seriously pretending to be choking stopped suddenly.

Gao Zhi who was observing them from the side called out, “Shi-ge? Is something wrong?”

“Yeah, is something wrong?”

The right hand of the young man with peach blossom eyes that was choking the other person appeared to be still.

However, the thumb that was concealed by Shi Qin’s long wig stroked his throat lightly.

It was like a feather barely brushing by repeatedly.

Jing Yuanqi stood where he was like that. He gently leaned forward with his face that resembled a fox spirit towards the film emperor who stiffly blinked his voluminous eyelashes rapidly.

At the same time, he carefully picked up a corner of Shi Qing’s belt with his hidden left hand. He was satisfied as the body of the person in front of him tensed even further. His gravelly voice reached a low rumble.

He sounded confused, like he had nothing to do with the current situation.

“Shi-laoshi, what’s the matter with you all of a sudden?”

Author’s Note:

Little Shi Qing you’re such a flirt.
