Pei Yubai took out the script to study while getting his makeup done.
I'll use the Yuanyuan afterwards, I won't have to think about the script anymore.
I can spend quality time with Yuanyuan.
Because he was looking at the script, Pei Yubai didn't notice Dust-Settling Red Cord, and it slipped away.
When it was almost time, Pei Yubai glanced at his wrist; the red thread was gone.
He flipped up his sleeve and looked at the inside of his wrist; there was nothing on his skin, the Dust-Settling Red Cord wasn't there.
He searched the table and under the chair, but found nothing.
The bell is gone too.
Pei Yubai was unaware that the Dust-Settling Red Cord was conscious and deeply entangled with Qiguan Yuan; he thought it was just an ordinary red thread.
Just like the one Qiguan Yuan for him before.
A staff member poked his head in from the doorway to urge him, saying that Director Song was already waiting.
Pei Yubai responded, glanced at his empty wrist, and went out the door.
He decided to come back to find him after taking the official photos.
The makeup photos were taken very quickly.
After all, Pei Yubai is the main character, so his scenes will definitely be filmed first; this is to avoid wasting his time.
The photographer had him stand in several positions, tried different lighting conditions, and pressed the shutter dozens of times before saying it was good enough.
When Pei Yubai stepped off the filming stage, the first thing he did was look for Hong Xian.
He searched the clothes rack, the drawers of the dressing table, and even the gaps between the sofas in the lounge area, but found nothing.
Just then, the makeup artist was sitting in the corner looking at her phone, which was playing a live stream, and the volume wasn't very loud.
It was quite obvious from her voice that she was watching " Travel to That Unknown Place ".
The voice coming from the other person's phone was Shen Yuzhou's, and it was easy to recognize.
But the next second, Pei Yubai precisely caught Shen Yuzhou calling out " Brother Yuan".
Pei Yubai immediately picked up his phone and entered the live stream.
At first, nothing happened. When he saw Qiguan Yuan in the live stream, he planned to remove his makeup and then go to find Yuanyuan using the location shown in the live stream.
Unexpectedly, the next moment he saw a red thread wrapped around Qiguan Yuan's ankle, with a pair of silver bells tied to it. The bells hung on the outside of his ankle, their silver light flashing in the sunlight.
Meanwhile, the live chat was also flooded with some explosive comments.
Pei Yubai couldn't wait any longer. Without even removing his makeup, he grabbed his phone and rushed over.
When Pei Yubai arrived at the pool, Qiguan Yuan was standing barefoot on the grass, holding the pair of wet shoes in his hand. His moon-white robe hung down to his feet, and the bells were hidden under the hem, their sound muffled and not as crisp as before.
Shen Yuzhou stood next to Qiguan Yuan, holding a blade of grass in his hand, the stem twirling between his fingers.
Cheng Yanqiu stood behind Shen Yuzhou with a water glass in her hand. The water had already cooled down, but she didn't drink it.
Lin Yanru stood next to Cheng Yanqiu, her hands hanging at her sides, while Su He'an stood behind Lin Yanru, looking at Lin Yanru.
It was at this time that Jiang Wantang saw Pei Yubai.
Before she could say anything, Qiguan Yuan also saw Pei Yubai.
His gaze shifted from Pei Yubai's face to his, a slight smile playing on his lips. His voice wasn't loud, but everyone around heard him say, "Oh ho~ some jealous person has arrived."
Her voice rose in pitch, with that irresistible, seductive tone.
Pei Yubai walked up to Qiguan Yuan, went around behind him, and blocked the camera lens.
Qiguan Yuan was completely obscured by him; only Pei Yubai's back and Qiguan Yuan's long silver hair could be seen in the camera lens.
The photographer moved the camera slightly to the side, and Pei Yubai followed suit, moving it slightly to the side as well, thus blocking the camera again.
Pei Yubai did not look at the camera.
He squatted down, took out his phone from his pocket, dialed a number, spoke a few words quickly, and then hung up.
Then he picked up Qiguan Yuan and placed him on the stools set up by the web series directors. " Yuanyuan..."
Qiguan Yuan didn't speak, but simply sized up Pei Yubai.
The assistant, who moved quickly, ran over from the entrance of the film studio carrying two bags.
There was a pair of shoes in the bag.
These were the shoes Pei Yubai prepared when he was customizing clothes for Qiguan Yuan.
The other items are towels and wet wipes.
The assistant placed the bag at Pei Yubai's feet, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and stepped back.
Pei Yubai took a wet wipe out of the bag, tore open the packaging, folded it, and held Qiguan Yuan's ankle.
Qiguan Yuan's ankles were very slender; Pei Yubai's fingers could encircle them.
He lifted Qiguan Yuan's foot; the sole was covered in grass clippings and dust, with a piece of leaf stuck to his heel. Pei Yubai from heel to toe with a damp cloth.
Then he put the used wet wipe on the ground, took a dry cloth, and dried the water off his feet.
Qiguan Yuan's feet slowly warmed in his hands.
Qiguan Yuan looked down at the top of Pei Yubai's head.
Pei Yubai's hair was clearly meticulously styled, with even the individual strands exuding refinement.
He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, the lenses were free of scratches, and the edges of the frames reflected the sunlight.
The eyeglass chain was gold, a thin strand that hung down from the temples and behind the ears, swaying gently.
Qiguan Yuan didn't recognize what this was; he only felt that wearing it made Pei Yubai want to tease him.
Pei Yubai's fingers were still on Qiguan Yuan's ankle.
Qiguan Yuan pulled his foot out of Pei Yubai's hand, lifted it up, and pressed his toes against Pei Yubai's chin, lifting it slightly upwards.
Pei Yubai lifted his head following his force, Qiguan Yuan's foot still pressed against his chin, the bell slipped out from under the hem of his clothes and hung on Qiguan Yuan's ankle, swaying and making a soft sound.
Qiguan Yuan looked down at him.
Pei Yubai's gold-rimmed glasses reflected the sunlight, obscuring the look in his eyes behind the lenses.
Pei Yubai's glasses chain brushed against Qiguan Yuan's feet, feeling cool to the touch.
Qiguan Yuan's body temperature was low, and even though Pei Yubai had just warmed his feet with his hands, they were already a bit cold again.
Pei Yubai felt the coolness on his chin, and his mind began to wander.
I really want to hold Yuanyuan's feet and carefully trace their outlines.
Pei Yubai looked up at Qiguan Yuan, his Adam's apple bobbing, his voice low and hoarse. " Yuanyuan..."
Qiguan Yuan withdrew his foot.
His toe tapped Pei Yubai's leg, and the bell continued to ring inexplicably.
Pei Yubai understood his meaning, lowered his head, took out shoes and socks from the bag, and carefully put the shoes on Qiguan Yuan.
As for the bell, he pulled it off.
Yuanyuan should probably wear this in private.
After putting on your shoes, stand up, pick up the used wet wipes and handkerchiefs, and throw them into the nearby trash can.
Qiguan Yuan looked at his face.
Pei Yubai's face was still covered in makeup, making his skin tone a shade lighter than usual. His eyebrows were longer than usual, his eyes were slightly upturned, and his lips were a darker color than usual.
Gold-rimmed glasses sat on the bridge of his nose, with a chain hanging down from behind his ears to his collarbone, giving him a rather ascetic air.
Qiguan Yuan reached out, wrapped the glasses chain around his finger, and tugged at it.
Pei Yubai's head was pulled forward slightly, instantly bringing their faces closer together.
