Chapter 166

The stone walls squeezed tighter and tighter.

Jia Jingwen's screaming also grew louder, making Li Luo's head buzz.

Soon, they were pushed to the predetermined position outside.

The prop walls finally stopped.

Under the gaze of the camera a meter away, the two faces were pressed tightly together; this wasn't a fake press, the muscles on their faces were squeezed until they were somewhat deformed.

With their faces pressed like this, it went without saying for other parts.

The performance continued.

The stone walls stopped squeezing.

Jia Jingwen's wailing stopped instantly, her big eyes rolling around.

Li Luo also glanced around.

At the same time, he was careful not to lift his head; a close-up shot from this angle, if one wasn't careful, would be aimed straight at the nostrils, and the resulting image would be very ugly.

"Good."

Lai Shuiqing signaled for filming to stop, and he poked his head in from the outside: "Are you two okay maintaining this posture? Do you feel uncomfortable?"

Being squeezed together, it would be a lie to say it wasn't uncomfortable.

For someone with claustrophobia.

They would be scared to death.

"I'm fine."

Li Luo indicated he had no problem.

"OK."

Jia Jingwen stepped on the small stool under her feet and nodded as well.

There was a height difference between them.

To have both faces appear in the camera at the same time, some small tricks were indispensable.

Don't look at how Jia Jingwen ran around just now.

At that final moment.

She was still standing steadily on the stool prepared for her in advance.

"Very good." Confirming that neither felt uncomfortable, Lai Shuiqing waved for the staff responsible for pushing the prop walls to pull them outward: "Switch angles, let's do the part where you're squeezed together again."

He had also communicated this kind of shot with Wu Dun.

The boss expressed approval.

So Lai Shuiqing let it go.

Acting, after all~ sometimes you have to sprinkle some sugar for the audience; after Li Luo took off his shirt for the behind-the-scenes footage before, Lai Shuiqing immediately added a segment of him practicing martial arts shirtless the next day.

In this regard, his sense of smell was still very sharp.

Since those female viewers liked to watch.

Let them watch more.

The stone walls were pulled back, and the two people squeezed together got a brief moment of respite; after a slight adjustment, there was another bout of wailing, and the two were pressed tightly together again.

Actually, according to normal logic.

Standing apart could buy more time to survive.

But this was television.

What was needed was drama.

How could it look good if the male and female leads weren't squeezed together, and how could the story develop further?

"Phew~"

The screaming stopped, and Jia Jingwen let out a heavy breath, then leaned weakly against Li Luo: "That was close, hey, thanks~"

Some shots would be added later.

It was Li Luo who had timely held up his sword to barely hold back the closing mechanism.

Which led to this line.

Li Luo didn't respond, just looked around.

For one.

He had no lines in this segment.

For another!

It was also to distract himself.

This Taiwanese girl's figure was truly beyond words; he wasn't sure about the back, but the front was definitely flawless, and because she was standing higher, she was aimed right at his chest.

That softness and elasticity almost made him unable to handle it.

He could only try to slow his breathing and let his body calm down.

The same feeling.

Was also happening to Jia Jingwen; Li Luo was wearing a costume, true, but it wasn't armor after all, and the heat radiating from those rock-hard muscles permeated directly onto her.

Making her feel hot all over.

"Hey, hey."

Jia Jingwen struggled for a moment, blinking her eyes in annoyance: "Can you move your face away?"

The effect of the chewing gum was brought into play here.

The distance between their mouths.

Was only a few centimeters.

The fresh scent sprayed over his face, and Li Luo shouted in his heart that he couldn't take it, forcibly suppressing his wandering mind to continue acting: "I... how can I move? I can't move!"

While speaking, he tried to turn his head.

At this time.

Jia Jingwen also squeezed her face over, shouting anxiously: "I don't care, you hurry and move your face away!!!"

Appearing on camera.

It was just two people using their faces to push against each other, the atmosphere couldn't be more ambiguous.

"Otherwise, move your body."

Jia Jingwen glared upward, grimacing as she said: "Move left, move to the left a bit."

This screenwriter.

What kind of wild words did they write!

Li Luo thanked them inwardly, twisted his body, and then said dejectedly: "No way, I can't move at all!"

"Can't... can't move?" Jia Jingwen leaned her head back hard, her speech becoming stuttered: "What to do, are we just going to keep this posture? It's so annoying~"

When she finished speaking.

She habitually stomped her feet to express her indignation.

But this caused her exquisite body to vibrate, making Li Luo almost unable to hold back.

Another agonizing dozen seconds passed.

The first segment of dialogue was finally finished.

"That's it."

Hearing Lai Shuiqing's shout, Li Luo breathed a sigh of relief, planning to go out and smoke a cigar to calm down for a few minutes before continuing; this thing was too torturous—any man would be unable to handle it.

"Director."

Just then, Jia Jingwen shouted to the outside.

"What is it?"

Lai Shuiqing quickly poked his head in, peeking inside, which looked quite amusing.

"Don't move the set."

Jia Jingwen gestured left and right, saying crisply: "The walls nearby, the details of the clothes, and our positions are very difficult to keep exactly the same."

"I'll just say it straight: it's very easy to have continuity errors."

"Stop for a moment."

Lai Shuiqing picked up the megaphone, and the staff on both sides heard the shout and stopped what they were doing.

Scratching his beard.

The director examined it carefully.

Jia Jingwen's suggestion was absolutely correct; no matter how they adjusted it later, there would be some differences, and since they were all close-ups now, even slight differences would be easy to spot.

From his perspective, he naturally hoped the actors could maintain this posture.

The anxiety of being trapped would also be more natural.

"Li Luo?"

After thinking, he asked for Li Luo's opinion.

The scene looked enchanting.

But in reality, the two people inside had to suffer greatly; being squeezed between two prop walls, even moving was difficult, and in Lai Shuiqing's view, it was definitely not a comfortable thing.

"I have no problem."

What else could Li Luo say? Just nod.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Lai Shuiqing patted the prop walls, making a thumping sound, and gave them a thumbs up: "I'll go check the shooting effect of that segment first."

These walls were made of scaffolding and wooden boards.

The weight was quite solid.

Even with wheels, they couldn't be moved casually.

To give them better sensory and performance feedback, Lai Shuiqing had someone lock the wheels after closing, so the two couldn't break free even when they tried hard to move their bodies just now, making it feel very real.

The boom microphone was taken away, and the photographer left the camera.

Before the next take, Lai Shuiqing liked to observe the shooting effect again, and there was usually a short break in between.

"Good, it's just the two of us now."

Jia Jingwen raised the hand that was facing away from the camera and said calmly: "You have nowhere to escape now."

"Huh?"

Li Luo felt something was wrong.

The next moment, two fingers were placed on his waist.

"Tell the truth."

Jia Jingwen threatened in a low voice: "What did you actually talk to Wu Dun about?"

"Nothing~~~"

Just as he started, two fingers pinched down heavily.

People were still walking back and forth outside.

Li Luo could only hold on, smiling forcedly: "Actually, I just asked about the upcoming shooting plan; I accepted an endorsement for Seven Wolves and have to attend a press conference in a few days."

"Liar."

Jia Jingwen twisted again before letting go with satisfaction: "You think if you don't say it, I can't guess?"

"You must have asked if this scene could be filmed, right?"

"That's right."

The girl thought of some things, and her breathing became rapid: "I have some relationship with him, so what? Why didn't you ask for my opinion before going straight to him!"

"That's very disrespectful to me, you know?"

Speaking of this, Jia Jingwen pinched him hard again.

"Sorry."

Li Luo also felt some apology, and even though it hurt, he endured it.

Regarding that previous action.

Standing in her position, it was indeed disrespectful.

Treating her completely as Wu Dun's appendage, so these blaming words left Li Luo speechless.

"I know many people look down on me."

Jia Jingwen gave a bitter smile and let go of her fingers powerlessly: "But what can I do? Can you imagine the feeling of suddenly having a huge debt at home while you're still in school?"

"My dad not only owed a mountain of debt but was also diagnosed with cancer."

"Can you understand how painful it is to be forced to make the decision to pull the ventilator plug when you're only in your early twenties?"

Two consecutive questions made Li Luo choose to keep his mouth shut.

This was immense pressure for anyone; he naturally didn't want to, nor did he wish to experience that feeling, and those with weak psychological resilience could be crushed directly by such things.

Even though Jia Jingwen had already escaped that predicament.

He could feel her body trembling slightly as she spoke.

It was normal.

It was a very painful memory for anyone.

"The person is gone, but the debt can't be erased."

"To pay off the debt and support the family, I ran a dozen gigs a day, so busy I didn't even have time to sleep."

"This kind of life lasted for several years."

"Tired."

"I'm really so tired." After muttering a few more words, Jia Jingwen stared blankly at the gray lights above: "If there's a chance, I want to live a little more easily; what's wrong with that?"

"Nothing wrong."

Li Luo took a deep breath and comforted her in a low voice: "I was wrong about this matter; don't think too much about it, it's all in the past!"

Jia Jingwen became silent at this moment.

She didn't know what happened, but she just blurted out all those words to Li Luo; the kind of relationship she had with the investor was something any male actor would ask about when seeing such scenes.

Perfectly normal.

"Perhaps, I treat you as a friend."

After a moment of silence, she pursed her lips and said: "I hope you can treat me as a friend, instead of..."

"Of course you are my friend."

Li Luo interrupted her and nodded seriously: "There's no doubt about that."

"Thank you."

Jia Jingwen's expression relaxed.

Having said some of her thoughts, she felt much more comfortable.

Actually, she seemed indifferent on the surface these past few days, but Wu Dun bringing his secretary around the set still brought her great pressure and urgency, and she saw her own position clearly.

Just wait until the remaining filming contracts were finished.

For the time after that, she wanted to make some plans for herself.

Jia Jingwen's previously tense body relaxed; she lay on Li Luo, feeling the warmth he brought her.

In the current situation, she couldn't help but lie on him.

They were squeezed together anyway.

Just in the few seconds of silence, Jia Jingwen felt the strong heartbeat coming from the opposite side.

One beat after another.

Like a drum.

This frequency even drove her own heartbeat to accelerate along with it.

No.

Why did it accelerate!

"Gulp."

Jia Jingwen swallowed and looked at the opposite side with slanted eyes: "What kind of wild thoughts are you having?"

"I promise."

Li Luo held on and said: "I'm not thinking about anything."

The other party had first opened her heart and then leaned on him, and that little womanly posture made his heartbeat uncontrollably accelerate, and some things began to develop in an uncontrollable direction.

His explanation was very pale and powerless.

The feeling of something poking her.

Made Jia Jingwen's eyes widen.

The two hearts accelerated as if they were racing, and the Taiwanese girl instantly overtook Li Luo.

"It seems Ruoxuan didn't lie."

Feeling the amazing heat, Jia Jingwen swallowed hard and pretended to joke naturally: "You're big enough, but hurry up and pull it back; be careful not to let others notice!"

It looked natural, but in reality, her words were already chaotic.

Under Li Luo's helpless gaze.

She instantly realized that this kind of thing wasn't something you could just pull back.

At this moment, although the two were basically seamless from the upper body.

But below.

It was still easy for others to see the clues.

Li Luo couldn't care about whether this was awkward or not and hurriedly took deep breaths, trying to restore his calm.

"Damn it."

Seeing that the outside was about to be ready, Jia Jingwen gritted her teeth and quickly placed her arm in the middle, adjusting her body position slightly: "I'll help you block it; hurry up and calm down!"

As her waist twisted and swayed.

Li Luo instantly felt his scalp go numb and couldn't help but hiss a cold breath.

During the sway.

Precision parking.

The speed of his blood flow also rose by a gear.

Jia Jingwen's face also became extremely strange; she clamped her thighs together tightly and gritted her teeth: "Don't think wildly, hurry and recite your lines, you bastard, you owe me a big favor this time."

"Of course, of course."

Li Luo laughed awkwardly and nodded repeatedly.

What a good person!

Being able to help cover for him at this time, she was too decent.

It was just that not thinking wildly.

Was really a bit of a tall order.

Wrapped tightly by her plump and elastic thighs, Li Luo couldn't remember any lines now.

Seeing his look of enjoyment, Jia Jingwen was both angry and amused.

She gave his waist a hard twist.

Finally making Li Luo come back to his senses and tidy up the expression on his face.

"You two."

It was also at this moment that Lai Shuiqing's head poked in quietly: "Are you ready?"

"Of course."

The two, who had almost broken into a cold sweat, indicated simultaneously that there was absolutely no problem.
