A trailer??

He really had only to think of something for it to appear.

Wei Zisu asked in surprise, "Where did you get a trailer? When did you get it?"

Yin Zhengchuan said, "Just... now. I called to rent one, and they delivered it right here."

In truth, he had spent ten minutes on the phone buying it. He hadn't expected their service to be so good that they would deliver it in the middle of the night.

Wei Zisu spent most of the year away filming, so he would have use for it in the future too. The thought of him having nowhere but the foot of a wall to sit and rest after filming made Yin Zhengchuan's heart ache. There were plenty of trailer rentals in Hengdian, but who knew how many people had used them? They felt filthy to him, unworthy of his Wei Zisu, so he had simply bought a brand-new one.

But for now, he didn't intend to say he had bought it, afraid Wei Zisu would feel burdened.

Yet even saying it was rented had already left Wei Zisu feeling deeply burdened.

Wei Zisu said, "You're wasting money again! I can find anywhere on set to rest, honestly. After these years of acting, I'm used to it. I can fall asleep no matter how noisy or chaotic the set is. You work hard for your money. Hurry up and return it."

The more he said things like that, the more Yin Zhengchuan's heart ached.

He said, "I've already paid. I can't return it. Zisu, instead of spending your time trying to talk me around, why not get in and sleep for a bit? Put this trailer to good use."

Helpless, Wei Zisu was already calculating how much he should reimburse Yin Zhengchuan when he received his next acting fee.

He followed Yin Zhengchuan to the trailer and discovered that it was brand-new. Yin Zhengchuan said he had gotten lucky and rented a new one, but Wei Zisu remained skeptical.

Yin Zhengchuan opened the door and happily invited Wei Zisu inside.

Wei Zisu hesitated.

Because he had remembered that unpleasant experience with Sun Liang in a trailer.

Last time, he had refused Sun Liang's advances on the grounds that they weren't married yet. But he and Yin Zhengchuan had already registered their marriage and were legally spouses. If Yin Zhengchuan got into the trailer and intended to do something to him, could he still refuse?

He turned to look at Yin Zhengchuan and saw such an innocent expression and such clear eyes that, for some reason, he truly couldn't imagine him doing the same things as Sun Liang.

He stepped inside, and Yin Zhengchuan followed right behind, so close that his chest nearly pressed against Wei Zisu's back. Just as Wei Zisu thought he had misjudged him, Yin Zhengchuan reached out to switch on the lights and began enthusiastically showing him around.

"This sofa has a massage function. You can sit here for a massage when you're tired from filming. The little table in front can hold your script or laptop, so you can memorize your lines while enjoying a massage. There's a screen overhead too, for watching movies. Oh, and this bed is really comfortable. You definitely won't feel tired sleeping on it!"

At that moment, he looked exactly like a big dog that had fetched a ball thrown by its owner and was looking up, waiting for praise.

Wei Zisu couldn't help saying, "Thank you."

Those two words alone were enough to make Yin Zhengchuan shy. He scratched the back of his head and said quietly, "It's nothing. No need to thank me. Anyway, you have some time now, so hurry up and get some sleep. I'll come get you when it's time for your scene."

With that, he turned to get out.

Wei Zisu asked, "Where are you going? You've been up all night. Aren't you tired?"

Yin Zhengchuan said, "No. I'll go have a chat with the director. You get some sleep."

Then he got out and shut the door.

Wei Zisu wasn't sure whether he really wanted to chat with the director or felt it would be awkward for them to stay together and was deliberately giving him some space alone.

Either way, he felt warm inside and at ease. He lay down on the little bed, which wasn't particularly spacious, and soon fell asleep.

Sometime after five, Yin Zhengchuan came to knock on the door and said it was time for his scene.

Wei Zisu sat up and stared blankly for quite a while before fully waking. Glancing at the time, he sprang up as though shocked and hurried out of the trailer.

"Why did you only wake me now? Wasn't the next scene at four?"

Yin Zhengchuan said, "The director saw how hard you'd been working and wanted you to rest a little longer, so he moved some other people's scenes up."

Wei Zisu had no time to worry about whether that was true and hurried to the set.

Sometime after seven, the all-night shoot finally wrapped. Wei Zisu was nodding off even as his makeup was removed.

He had another scene at two that afternoon and needed to have his makeup done beforehand, which meant he could sleep for four hours at most after returning to the hotel.

But Yin Zhengchuan had come all this way, and he hadn't even had time to show him around.

Just as he was planning to drink a few cans of Red Bull to keep himself going, the director came over.

"Zisu!" The director sat down and said, "I've thought about it for a long time, and I've decided we should reshoot the scene where the young master is killed."

Wei Zisu nodded. "Sure, no problem. Has the actor playing the grand commander cleared his schedule?"

The director looked disgusted. "He's gotten a little popular now, so he has a say. He actually said there was no need for a reshoot, and that even if we shot it, it might not pass review. Hah! A petty man getting ahead, letting success go to his head, and burning his bridges! If I ever cast him in another production of mine, my surname isn't Zhang!"

"Then..."

Wei Zisu had no solution either. At the end of that scene, there were many close-combat shots with the grand commander. Without that actor's cooperation, they really couldn't shoot it.

But the director said, "It doesn't matter. It's fine if he can't come. I've thought it all through. The additional footage will mainly focus on you. We just need a close-up of your expression as you fall at the end. As for the grand commander, we only need shots from behind. We can intercut them with the footage of his face we already have, so using a double is fine."

"A double?"

If the director said it would work, then it would!

But he remembered that actor being burly and nearly 1.9 meters tall. Finding a double with a similar build probably wouldn't be easy.

Wei Zisu asked, "Have you found a double, then?"

The director gave a mysterious smile. "I have."

"Who?"

Just then, Yin Zhengchuan ran into the makeup room. The director warmly put an arm around his shoulders and said to Wei Zisu, "Your husband."
