141. The Wrap

The Director Association’s annual grand ceremony was set on May 20th, just one week after the wrap of “Blue”.

Qi Le’an left the set early and took Chen Bin to the supermarket to buy a bunch of food and drinks, ready to celebrate.

Chen Bin pushed the trolley and walked with Qi Le’an into an international supermarket where there were few customers. He said, “You are not the one to get the award. Why are you so happy?”

Qi Le’an threw the food into the trolley and said, “You are right. I can never get an award in my lifetime.”

Chen Bin was resentful, “Have some faith!  Was Wei Changfeng awarded as something like Best Actor?”

Qi Le’an nodded and said, “Yes, but not as famous as those big awards.”

After selecting vegetables and fruits, Qi Le’an got a bunch of snacks. Chen Bin pushed the trolley to get the groceries priced, saying, “When you can win an award, my job will be completed.”

Chen Bin swiped his card to pay the bill. Qi Le’an imagined how he would look if he won an award. He found that he could hardly think of that.

After all, he didn’t even have a chance to act in his last life, let alone to win an award.

As the wrap was around the corner, everyone’s shooting tasks became easier. Wei Changfeng returned from the set before it was dark. Qi Le’an and Chen Bin had handled a lot of ingredients. All they needed was a chef now.

Wei Changfeng expelled them out of the kitchen and worked for almost an hour. Smelling the food, everyone was waiting on tenterhooks outside and wanted to break into the kitchen immediately.

How come Wei Sama was so much better at cooking than them?

When Wei Changfeng came out of the kitchen, everyone said they could not wait anymore.

Wei Changfeng went upstairs to take a shower while Qi Le’an took out the prepared food. The conditions were limited outside, but Wei Changfeng still made six dishes and one soup. Each of them looked so delicious and fragrant. He even had the time to carve a fruit platter!

They didn’t know how to compliment him at all!

They had a great meal! At night, after reviewing his homework, Qi Le’an was still having the aftertaste of the meal. “Wei Sama, why can’t I cook well?”

Wei Changfeng flipped a page and said, “I’ll cook for you. You don’t have to cook so well.”

Qi Le’an, who was lying on the bed, felt so happy in his heart! He immediately got up and cuddled Wei Changfeng!

Wei Changfeng was leaning against the bed, reading a book, but as he was cuddled by Qi Le’an, how could he continue reading? He threw the book onto the carpet by the bed and began to stroke the man next to him.

It had been a long time since the two of them had done such a thing. They could still hold it up without flirting. Now that they were so close, they couldn’t help it.

Qi Le’an became as soft as water and just lay on Wei Changfeng. Wei Changfeng hugged him from below and gently massaged Qi Le’an’s waist.

Wei Changfeng was the type of man that looked thin and yet had muscles. He had a habit of exercising so he had a perfect body shape. Every muscle of his was so perfect. Lying on his body, Qi Le’an felt neither too hard nor too soft.

How comfortable!

Moreover, this position did not require much effort at all. All the weight was pressed on Wei Sama!

The people who worked out every day were indeed different.

Qi Le’an thought about it and couldn’t help but kiss the body under him.

Wei Changfeng stopped massaging and said, “We still have shooting missions tomorrow…”

Of course, Qi Le’an knew it too, so he said, “I’m only licking…”

Wei Changfeng smirked and Qi Le’an suddenly found that his words were so erotic!

“I didn’t mean that!” Qi Le’an quickly tried to salvage the situation, but he found that something under his body was faintly changing!

Wei Changfeng’s hand moved along the spine like a worm. Qi Le’an was a sensitive man. Instantly, his breath became rapid.

Wei Changfeng pressed Qi Le’an’s head against his neck, his mouth clinging to Le’an’s ear, and his hoarse voice was deadly sexy. “Lick, H’m?”

Hearing his rising tone, Qi Le’an became hard in one second.

Thanks to the licking, they didn’t stop until midnight. Fortunately, Wei Changfeng was still sensible enough not to do it too heavily as he was aware of their shooting missions the next day.

Today’s scene was the last but two. Xiaolan sold his house and raised enough money to save Zhendong. The two of them returned to Zhendong’s house and had a meal together.

Zhendong’s sister and friends were all presents. This family had accepted Xiaolan.

Apart from Qi Le’an and Wei Changfeng, this scene was also a wrap for these actors.

Xiaolan was helping Zhendong’s sister in the kitchen meekly while Zhendong was chatting with his brother-in-law and friends in the living room with his gaze fixed on Xiaolan.

When Qi Le’an read the script, he hoped that this was the end of the whole story.

Everyone was happy.

The scene took a whole day without any complicated lines. However, Director Guan wanted to have a last blast so he did a lot of takes and didn’t end the shooting until the evening.

Many actors would leave the crew today. Qi Le’an suddenly realized that he was more at ease about parting. When he worked with other crew before, he was very sad about the wrap; but this time, he said goodbye to them with a smile.

Qi Le’an suddenly sighed a lot.

The second last scene was that Xiaolan and Zhendong went to a frozen lake, played with snow, and sang together. It was impossible to have such a temperature condition in May. Fortunately, Director Guan had already predicted this situation so he had already finished shooting this scene in winter.

What Qi Le’an and Wei Changfeng needed to do was to do a few reshoots, so they finished their shooting tasks very soon.

Early in the morning, Xiaolan got out of the quilt and dressed himself up in front of the mirror. Before he left, he also gave a kiss to Zhendong who was still sleeping.

This time, he never came back. In the afternoon, Zhendong suddenly received a call, in which he was asked to recognize Xiaolan’s corpse.

Director Guan specifically let the actors stay in place from four in the morning to shoot a romantic scene early in the morning. The orange light added a dreamy feeling to the small bedroom. Qi Le’an couldn’t help but feel sad.

“Le’an!” The director shouted, “You’re supposed to be very happy!”

Xiaolan didn’t know that he was going to die so his face was full of happiness. However, as the player of the character, Qi Le’an knew the ending of the two main characters, so he could not hide his sadness.

The sunrise could not last for long. Guan Kai became a little annoyed and said, “Le’an, you can’t bring in any personal emotions into the character.”

Qi Le’an pursed his lower lip and said to the director, “Sorry, sorry. I kind of can’t figure out the right feeling.”

It was almost absurd to hear him say that he couldn’t figure out the right feeling now, but this was exactly what concerned Qi Le’an in the whole drama from the beginning. He had been sad about the death of Xiaolan when he first read the script. which had been deeply affecting him.

The director looked at the time and sighed.

“There are twenty minutes before the sunrise. Think about it. If you can’t finish today, we can only try again tomorrow.”

Wei Changfeng sat up from the bed and looked at Qi Le’an.

For the first time, Qi Le’an felt pressured during the shooting. No one urged him, but he just couldn’t do it right.

What should he do? Twenty minutes… Could he get the right feelings for the character?

Director Guan called for a break and the set was quiet. Qi Le’an sat on the small stool outside the room.

Wei Changfeng sat beside him and said, “Le’an.”

Qi Le’an looked at Wei Changfeng and smiled bitterly. He just didn’t feel like talking.

“No worries.” Wei Changfeng seemed to have cast a magical spell that calmed his mind. Qi Le’an gradually calmed down.

“Do you think Xiaolan is happy?” Wei Changfeng suddenly asked.

Qi Le’an didn’t think so. Xiaolan finally got somewhere and yet was forever parted with his love. What a shame!

Wei Changfeng understood what Qi Le’an meant and said, “But I think he is happy.”

Inside the room, Director Guan was adjusting the camera stand. There were noises around but Wei Changfeng’s words, just like a trickle, reached Qi Le’an’s ears.

“At least the moment before he died, he was happy.”

Qi Le’an was stunned.

Wei Changfeng smiled his eyes as gentle as before. He held Qi Le’an’s hand and said, “If you are with me at the cost of your life, will you still be with me?”

“Of course,” Qi Le’an answered without hesitation.

Wei Changfeng pinched Qi Le’an’s knuckles as usual and said, “Even if he died… Xiaolan would be very happy.”

Qi Le’an almost immediately understood what he said.

Xiaolan was such a man who dared to love and hate. He was willing to love at the cost of his life.

Qi Le’an, who figured out this key point, was instantly relaxed. He stood up and let out a long sigh, “I think I can give it a try”

Wei Changfeng let go of Qi Le’an’s hand and said, “Let’s go.”

The two of them entered the bedroom together. Director Guan saw their expressions and asked, “Are you ready?”

Qi Le’an nodded.

Wei Changfeng took off his clothes and lay down on the bed while Qi Le’an lay beside him. Wei Changfeng blinked at Qi Le’an and held Qi Le’an’s hand under the blanket.

The director adjusted the camera stand and the associate director shouted, “Everyone, get ready!”

The sun finally broke through the clouds and shone the first ray of light of the day.

The alarm rang and Xiaolan reached out and turned off the alarm. He lazily got up from the quilt and looked at his lover in bed lovingly.

He got off the bed and put on his clothes. The sunlight reflected on Zhendong in the mirror, who was lying in bed.

Xiaolan looked at his lover in the mirror while putting on his clothes. His lips curled upwards, his face brimming with happiness.

He went back to the bed with the clothes that Zhendong had prepared for him and exchanged a kiss with his lover.

Then he turned around and left.

“Cut!” Director Guan shouted excitedly, “The light is right too! Brilliant!”

He couldn’t wait to watch the replay on the monitor. Looking at the perfect scenes taken from various angles, he wished to start editing right now.

Wei Changfeng also stuck his head out of the bed and smiled at Qi Le’an.

Qi Le’an also smiled. He knew that for him, the hardest scene had already been done.

In the next scene, Zhendong would face Xiaolan’s death.

It was the battlefield of Wei Changfeng.
