At the outdoor filming location of the drama, Comrade You Qi stood beside Comrade Yang Meng and watched as the makeup artist helped him change into the female lead's outfit, along with a wig. Taking in the distinctive feature of Yang Meng's body, the few stand-in roles that You Qi helped him get were all as a female. Yang Meng was extremely unwilling at first, but after he saw the payments, he hopelessly nodded in agreement.

However, Yang Meng had clearly expressed that he could take a female role, but it only had to be for action scenes and absolutely no intimate ones.

Today it was a water scene, and since the female lead did not know how to swim, the shot was handed over to Yang Meng to complete. He was instructed to fall into the water- gracefully, and when he struggled, he did not only have to embody fear, he could not be overly pitiful. As for the final scene, he had to possess a type of hopelessness before his entire head was to be submerged under the water.

"Hopelessness, hopelessness..."

While Yang Meng was getting his makeup done, he practiced his expressions by looking in the mirror.

As soon as You Qi finished filming his parts, he ran over to accompany Yang Meng.

Once Yang Meng felt that his interpretation of those needed expressions were well enough, he turned to You Qi and made a hopeless look, and then asked You Qi to guess. "What is the feeling that I acted out just now?"

You Qi thought for a moment and said, "Constipation."

"Are you asking for a fight?" Yang Meng shouted loudly.

Unexpectedly, the director was standing not too far away, and when he heard that bold roar, he immediately pointed at Yang Meng. "Stop making a big fuss! Hurry up and get into the mood. Otherwise, when it is your turn on the set, you will not be able to get into character no matter how much time you get!"

Yang Meng quickly closed his mouth and mulled the feelings of fear and hopelessness over.

When filming officially began, the director shouted, "Silence, start filming!"

Yang Meng plunged into the water with a whoosh and after he struggled for a bit, he sank his head straight into the water. However, after waiting for a long while and not hearing the director say 'cut', Yang Meng swam out only to realize that everyone was staring at him sluggishly.

"What happened?" Yang Meng asked.

You Qi coughed lightly from the side. "Did you read the script?"

"I don't have any lines, what would I read the script for?" Yang Meng said casually.

Also standing at the side, the director's face became completely unsightly. You Qi turned his back to the director and whispered to Yang Meng. "According to the script, you were pushed into the water by someone and not jumped in there yourself."
