The moment their eyes met, Nan HuaiLin smiled. Then stopped and stared at the blower at Shen Chong’s feet in disbelief.

With a belated “Cut!” there was a buzz of talk all around.

The make-up artist came over to fix Nan HuaiLin and Shen Chong’s make-up. Nan HuaiLin couldn’t help but peek over at Fei Cheng again, but Fei Cheng caught him in the act, and hastily withdrew his gaze.

Why didn’t he say a few words?

Nan HuaiLin couldn’t help but think. What was he doing here in Hengdian? He’s not here to see me, is he? Feh, don’t be so self-absorbed!

Then Luo Ke came over.

“Xiao Nan, you…” He stared at Nan HuaiLin’s face. “Why are you…?”

“Director Luo.” Nan HuaiLin asked, “Was there something wrong with my performance just now?”

“No, nothing is wrong. It’s fine.” Luo Ke paused. “…You’re wearing good makeup today.”

In fact, today was Nan HuaiLin’s first time to wear makeup properly.

His character had been wearing a mask before, so he just put on a wig and a little lipstick, but today he had to show his face. Today, the make-up artist had spent an hour giving him a serious make-up job, and he was so sleepy that he didn’t bother to see what it looked like before he put the mask on.

When he heard Luo Ke’s words, Nan HuaiLin suddenly wanted to see how he looked.

“Sis,” Nan HuaiLin said to the makeup artist who was fixing his makeup. “Do you have a mirror? Let me use it.”

The make-up artist took out a palm-sized mirror from her make-up bag, and handed it to him.

Nan HuaiLin lifted the mirror and looked at his face.

His eyes widened instantly. “!!!”

…Who are you?

This make-up technique was simply miraculous.

“I don’t even recognize myself anymore,” he said nervously, as he handed the mirror back to the makeup artist. “Director Luo, is it…too much? A little too extra?”

“It’s fine. It suits the character,” Luo Ke said. “Like the image of you taking off the mask just now. When it’s aired, it’s going to stun the audience.”

Nan HuaiLin never thought he would one day be associated with the word “stun” and felt very strange.

Luo Ke added, “We’ll shoot from the moment you unmask, and you can just read the lines.” He turned to Shen Chong. “Shen Chong, you have to speak. Don’t just stand there.”

Shen Chong stared blankly at Nan HuaiLin, and gave a vague response.

The board was struck a second time, and the filming began again.

Nan HuaiLin said his lines first, “Brother. I’m JinQin. Don’t you even recognize me?”

Shen Chong didn’t get stuck this time. The two of them finished the scene smoothly. The cliff jumping scene had to be shot in the studio with a green screen, but it was going to be shot tomorrow. Nan HuaiLin just had this one scene today, and there was nothing more for him to do.

As soon as Luo Ke said this scene had passed, Nan HuaiLin immediately ran to the make-up artist to take off his headgear. Man Tianzhu came over to help him take off his costume, and he used the opportunity to quietly look for Fei Cheng’s figure, but he couldn’t see anyone anywhere. He couldn’t help but wonder if he was hallucinating because of the heat.
