Chapter 102

The script of "Wei Wei" captures the feeling of first love perfectly.

This is the unanimous opinion of the entire production crew.

In the drama, Xiao Nai is a senior campus heartthrob about to graduate, and Bei Weiwei is a sophomore campus beauty.

Their romance has nothing to do with family background or social status.

Instead, they study together in the library; play dungeons and defeat bosses in the dorm; eat meals together in the cafeteria, and so on.

The most intimate gestures between them were merely holding hands and nervous hugs.

Though they could do little for each other, these small romantic moments were enough to excite them for days—watching Bei Weiwei and Xiao Nai fall in love gave him a long-missed feeling of first love.

This was a conclusion reached by several girls on set who gathered to discuss it.

Bai Liang felt something was off—it was far too innocent.

To be honest, when he was in college, he was somewhat like Xiao Nai.

He had indeed dated a girl everyone called a "campus beauty."

But in real universities, no one actually holds elections for campus beauties—it's just that some girls are exceptionally beautiful, come from wealthy families, know how to dress well, and over time, people start calling them campus beauties.

Generally speaking, there might be several such "campus beauties" in one university.

Unfortunately, real-life campus beauties and heartthrobs don't date the way they do in the drama.

Would they still get flustered over holding hands or hugging?

Bai Liang clearly remembered that during one period, his schedule was: class, kissing, class, renting a room. Later, he simply moved in together.

When young, beautiful bodies come together, certain things are simply impossible to suppress.

In crowded places, holding hands might be acceptable—but in empty places, their mouths would instinctively stick together.

In a sealed, undisturbed space, how long they stayed "stuck" together depended entirely on their physical condition.

Even in high school, they weren't this "innocent."

Girls might be reserved, but boys sometimes truly lose control.

Describing boys this age as "hungry" is absolutely accurate.

Sometimes, no stimulation was needed—they'd react for no reason at all.

But seeing how convinced the girls looked, Bai Liang thought maybe the screenwriter had a point in writing it this way.

Likewise, this was the easiest drama Bai Liang had ever acted in.

Not only was he relaxed while acting, but director Lin Yufen also seemed utterly at ease while filming.

Especially after Dili Reba put on her full makeup!

Her long hair fell loose, the ends naturally draping over her fair shoulders.

She wore a crimson knee-length dress, its elegant V-neck revealing delicate collarbones.

The thin fabric clung tightly to the curves of her body, sliding down like water to outline her slender waist—slender enough to be held in one hand.

As she walked, the hem rippled like waves, her fair, proportionate legs impossible to look away from.

She radiated an unmatched brilliance, her beauty arresting.

A soul-stealing, soul-shattering radiance—that was Bei Weiwei in the novel.

Dili Reba may not have perfectly replicated her, but she certainly had the conditions to strive toward it.

Though there was still a touch of youthfulness on her face and body, it was perfectly fitting.

After all, she's a schoolgirl—no one would cast an actual "seductress"; that would feel unnatural.

Filming differs from writing novels.

At least after Dili Reba emerged from makeup in full costume, she immediately drew the entire crew's gaze—proof enough.

"So beautiful!"

Mao Xiaotong, also a female star, couldn't help exclaiming this, then instinctively glanced to see what the drama's "immortal" male lead was doing.

Let's go see how well-matched they are~

But she found him crouched on the ground watching ants move, grinning foolishly like a naive kid, radiating pure, clueless charm.

Paji.

Mao Xiaotong couldn't help slapping her own head. "Hey, your godlike image is shattered!" Bai Liang looked up, puzzled. "What?"

"Become a god again!" Mao Xiaotong urged.

Though he didn't understand what was going on, Bai Liang was always easygoing.

He simply rose slightly, shifting from crouching to sitting, leaning against a nearby tree.

The sunlight was just right, filtering through the treetops and scattering golden specks onto his white shirt; the perfect Tyndall effect left traces in the air, as if nature itself had painted it.

Followed by a touch of casualness—he merely lifted his eyes, and his soul seemed to blend with the light.

The youthful aura described by the novel's author had taken tangible form.

Mao Xiaotong took a deep breath. Does this guy even need to "get into character"?

It just… happens?

At that moment, she instinctively turned her head—and sure enough, another figure, equally stunning even to her as a girl, was approaching.

Even that brief, instantly charged moment made Mao Xiaotong wonder if she should crawl under a car.

Kacha~

Please... collect... 6... 9... Shu... please...!

Lin Yufen said she had experience—this, after all, was a perfect promotional photo.

Having worked with Bai Liang once, she knew him well—he was incredibly photogenic. Was this his exclusive skill?

Unfortunately, Bai Liang, who was so photogenic, was also exceptionally good at distracting others.

He quickly stepped out of his "god" state and casually pulled Dili Reba and Mao Xiaotong over to watch the ants carry things.

A group of ants were working hard to carry a fairly large grasshopper from one step up to another.

He himself was watching quite intently, but the two girls were another matter.

Especially Mao Xiaotong, who felt utterly split—had that previously breathtakingly handsome god-like figure really become this harmless, simple-minded Director Han Han?

Dilireba, however, was watching closely, even unconsciously clenching her small fist as she asked with concern: "Will they make it up? Those steps are so high—will they never get there in their whole lives?"

Bai Liang paused, glanced at Dilireba, as if sensing something, "Sisyphus, huh~"

In that moment, the two seemed to sync their brainwaves.

And he saw, for the first time since meeting her, her most radiant smile.

Bai Liang: Girls~ are so sentimental.

For himself, watching ants carry things was just watching—he didn't like assigning strange or reasonable meanings to it.

Because most of what he did didn't need meaning to sustain it; his inner world could easily reconcile itself.

In comparison, Dilireba was clearly burdened with worries.

At this moment, the film crew's staff called them over to get to work.

Bai Liang stood up and stretched.

He glanced at the ants still struggling—actually, they were impressive, about to reach the next step.

"Wow! They made it!"

The two girls burst into cheers, clearly delighted.

But many more steps still awaited them.

"Come on, it's time to climb your own steps," Bai Liang said to Dilireba.

"Mm!" She nodded vigorously, as if encouraged, her spirits lifted.

But something felt off, so she asked cautiously: "Shouldn't it be us?"

Bai Liang didn't answer her question—not because he was playing aloof, but because the crew members had already come running up to them.

However, as they walked behind, Mao Xiaotong pulled Dilireba aside to answer that question for him.

"He's quite unique~ Spend more time with him and you'll see, and he's easy to get along with."

"How unique?" Dilireba couldn't help asking.

"His pace of life—he seems to have his own rhythm, different from most people."
