Rong Yuxiu stood up and stared at her blankly .
“…Is this a dream?” He mumbled as he couldn’t believe his eyes .
“It’s not a dream . ” Xue Ning walked closer to him, took off her cloak, and exposed her face to him . “It’s me, Lord Rong . ”
His pupils contracted, and he chuckled . “Concubine Xue! There’s a banquet in the hall now . Why aren’t you accompanying His Majesty? Why are you here to see me?”
“How could His Majesty remember me?” Xue Ning said . “Lord Rong, Xue Ning needs your help . ”
Rong Yuxiu seemed to sober up a bit . He scrutinized her for a long time before he wrapped his arms around her .
Xue Ning gasped .
“My help…” His breathing was a bit ragged . “comes at a price . ”
“I…”
Ye Shengge was so shocked that she forgot what she was saying .
“Cut!” Lin Qi yelled .
Ye Shengge immediately stood up and took a few steps back, as if she was escaping from a tiger’s den .
Qin Youhui sat up and smiled, “Am I that scary?”
“No, it’s not your fault . Sorry . ” Ye Shengge felt awkward and guilty .
“You don’t have to blame yourself,” Qin Youhui said patiently . “You performed very well in the beginning, but your self-awareness escaped when our bodies touched . You need to get over it . ”
Yes, she needed to get over it . This was just acting . She wasn’t Ye Shengge, but Xue Ning .
“Let’s try again?” Ye Shengge took a deep breath .
“Okay . ” Qin Youhui smiled and nodded .
However, Ye Shengge failed the second time . For the third time, she didn’t forget her lines, but she still failed .
Lin Qi and Xiao Liu exchanged glances at one other .
Qin Youhui rubbed his forehead and looked at the defeated woman . He thought for a bit and asked, “Shengge, you’ve been in love before, right?”
Ye Shengge immediately understood what he meant . Her face heated up, and she nodded .
“That’s good . ” Qin Youhui breathed a sigh of relief . “I almost thought you had some trauma when you were young … It seems like you’re fine, but you just can’t accept me . Do you hate me? Otherwise, why are you being so resistant?”
Ye Shengge was ashamed . “It’s not like that, Mr . Qin . I don’t hate you . I just don’t know why . ”
“You haven’t been through any professional training,” Qin Youhui said . “That’s why you’re very defensive . When you were filming before, you needed to be sure that you were in a safe environment before you could let yourself go . But now, the environment makes you feel unsafe . ”
Ye Shengge couldn’t help frowning .
If it were just her and Qin Youhui, she would have found it understandable, but there were two other people present . Besides, Qin Youhui’s attitude was so professional that he didn’t want to take advantage of her . Why was she still so resistant?
“How about this? Lie down and I’ll lie on top of you,” said Qin Youhui . “Since you’ll lose character the moment you come into physical contact, we might as well force you into character . Shengge, you can do it with your talent . ”
