Today, Lin Jianlu didn't make a single move on Xie Wang.
To avoid exposing himself, he had to stay put for now.
Besides, he couldn't think of any good ideas at the moment.
His mind was completely blank.
"Just right, let's rehearse our lines," Xie Wang said, shoving the script into his hands.
"Alright," Lin Jianlu agreed and began, "I knew you would come."
"I've finally found you," Xie Wang recited his line. "I won't lose you again."
Lin Jianlu: "I feel like I understand you better than before."
"Pause at appropriate points," Xie Wang instructed. "I taught you about emotional expression last time."
Lin Jianlu repeated the line according to his guidance.
"Very good," Xie Wang praised him. "You're a quick learner."
The corners of Lin Jianlu's lips subtly lifted into a faint smile, as if he were pleased.
Xie Wang felt that Lin Jianlu was good in every way today—except for the fact that he hadn't teased him at all. Not even once.This is stolen from https://chipoholictranslations.blogspot.com/p/homepage.html
It felt like Lin Jianlu had retreated to the initial, distant phase of their relationship, observing him calmly and rationally without crossing any lines.
There were two possibilities.
One: Lin Jianlu had been thoroughly satisfied a few days ago, so he wasn't craving his body for the moment.
Two: Lin Jianlu had enough fun and didn't want to sleep with him anymore.
Xie Wang: "…"
That wouldn't do. He had to test the waters.
"Da Wang, your scene," the director came over and shouted. "Grab your prop gun."
"Coming!" Xie Wang strode over and picked up the prop sniper rifle from the ground.
The alpha tied his army-green jacket around his waist, revealing a black tactical vest and the defined muscle lines of his arms.
In a few steps, he climbed onto the stacked shipping containers, positioning himself behind the makeshift cover set up by the prop crew. He lay down and set up the sniper rifle.
The alpha's back arched slightly, like a wolf poised to pounce on its prey.
"Good, moving on." The director called out.
Xie Wang didn't break his stance and held his position, but his gaze shifted toward Lin Jianlu, a smile tugging at his lips.
Lin Jianlu: "?"
Wow.
So cool.
Xie Wang was amazing—just one glance from him was enough to make his pheromones stir restlessly.
Director: "Da Wang, is there glue on the ground you're lying on?"
Xie Wang drawled lazily, "Nope."
Director: "Then why aren't you getting up? Continue!"
With the prop gun in hand, Xie Wang planted one hand on the edge of the container and landed on the ground with a half-flip.
Lin Jianlu: "?"
Wow.
So cool, so cool.
I want to fish, but I can't today. Gotta hold back.
"Quick, sign Da Wang up for Alpha-Omega Dash and let him leap there," the director yelled to Xie Wang's assistant.
Xie Wang: "…"
"Chen Yimo!" the director called out. "Come and show your pervert."
Chen Yimo went over.
Xie Wang walked back to Lin Jianlu in a few quick strides.
More than ten minutes had passed, yet Lin Jianlu hadn't moved an inch. He was still standing in the same spot, his eyes glued to Xie Wang like they were stuck with superglue—completely unremovable.
Yes! He has mastered Skill: Attract Lin Jianlu's Attention, along with Secret Skill: Make Lin Jianlu Lust at Sight.
He refused to believe Lin Jianlu would let such a golden opportunity slip by.
Lin Jianlu asked his assistant for a cup of warm water and maintained a two-step distance from Xie Wang.
Xie Wang waited for five minutes. Lin Jianlu spent those five minutes drinking water.
Aside from staring, Lin Jianlu did absolutely nothing.
Xie Wang: "…"
A vain attempt.
Fine. Round two.
Xie Wang took off his military jacket and casually tossed it onto a nearby chair with a flick of his hand.
He propped himself up on an old, discarded iron oil drum from the set and sat down, his right leg bent with one foot resting on the drum. His taut waist and abdominal lines exuded a raw, untamed power.
The wind gently tousled the alpha's hair.
Xie Wang grabbed the unfinished bottle of mineral water and downed it in one go.
He whistled at Lin Jianlu.
"YoYo, get me another bottle of water," he said.
Lin Jianlu: "…"
I really want to pounce on him and take a sniff of Da Wang's grapefruit scent.
That inexplicable feeling of losing control was back again.
It seemed he was finding it harder and harder to keep absolutely calm in front of Xie Wang, making an overall observation of his own game board with an outsider's perspective.
He was in the game now.
Lin Jianlu walked toward Xie Wang.
Here we go.
Xie Wang thought.
The fisherman is coming.
Lin Jianlu stopped five steps away, raised his hand, and tossed the bottle of mineral water.
Xie Wang caught it midair.
Lin Jianlu didn't come any closer. Instead, he turned around and walked away.
This time, Lin Jianlu stood even farther away, holding his cup of water and continuing to drink.
"I thought the crew could save a few bottles of spring water in the cold winter," the director said to Chen Yimo, pulling him aside. "But those two have been standing over there drinking water non-stop."
Chen Yimo: "?"
What's up with those two today?
"Are you two fish or something? Can't live without water?" the director shouted through his megaphone. "Get over here and start shooting! Blaster, get ready to blow!"
Blaster: "On it!"
Lin Jianlu put down his water cup and walked toward the soon-to-be-detonated set with Xie Wang.
"Be careful," Xie Wang said as they walked, emphasizing, "Your safety comes first—above actions, expressions, costumes, or anything else."
Lin Jianlu: "Mm."This is stolen from https://chipoholictranslations.blogspot.com/p/homepage.html
Xie Wang: "Don't just 'mm' me, listen to me. We'd rather spend extra money to rebuild the set and blow it up again than have you get hurt over any of those details. Do you hear me?"
Lin Jianlu: "But just now, you...?"
Just now, Xie Wang had gone all out for the perfect shot, practically flirting with danger. Lin Jianlu had watched the playback: the scene didn't even need post-production; the tension and excitement were already palpable, ready to jump off the screen.
"Am I the actor, or are you?" Xie Wang asked. "I've been acting since I was seven. What were you doing when you were seven?"
As soon as he said it, Xie Wang hesitated.
From what he knew after being reborn, the Lins treated Lin Jianlu badly, and Lin Jianlu wasn't close to the Lins either.
So, Lin Jianlu's childhood probably hasn't been happy.
He shouldn't have brought it up.
Lin Jianlu didn't react at all.
He simply nodded and said, "Thank you, senior. I'll remember that."
The omega's attitude was unusually cold today. It seemed as though their relationship had fallen back to its original freezing point.
Scum O—heartless out of bed, affectionate while in it, but not much.
Only this scum O's wounded makeup today was just too heartbreaking.
"Action!" the director called out.
In a blood-stained white shirt, the omega knelt on the ground.
Xie Wang, playing the detective, wanted to hold him close but was afraid of hurting him. He could only hover his hands near him in a protective but hesitant embrace.
"Go…" Lin Jianlu struggled to stand. "Hurry, go."
The thunderous explosion startled the omega, making him lean closer into Xie Wang's arms.
"Excellent," the director said as he called for a cut. "Lin Jianlu has improved. His eyes show 'love' when he looks at Da Wang."
"Really?" Xie Wang asked. "That's good. What I taught him last time has worked."
Director: "You taught him? Then you should start a class."
Xie Wang: "Nope. Only taking one student—Lin Jianlu."
Xie Wang added, "Hurry up and keep shooting. He's still kneeling; his knees must be hurting."
"Tch, fine, fine, rolling!" the director called.
The detective scanned the area, assessing the situation, then grabbed the omega and pulled him to his feet.
"We need to leave now," Xie Wang said. "This place is going to collapse."
Lin Jianlu stumbled as Xie Wang pulled him forward—the spot he had just been standing in exploded behind him.
On the dilapidated dock, abandoned iron barrels were blasted into the air, dust erupted in clouds, and smoke filled the scene.
Following the route he had memorized earlier, Lin Jianlu trailed closely behind Xie Wang, carefully avoiding the explosion points one by one.
The deafening sounds roared right behind him; he could almost feel fragments brushing past his cheek as they flew by.
He hesitated for half a second, completely unaccustomed to such chaos.
The hand gripping his wrist suddenly tightened, forcefully yanking him forward just as another massive explosion erupted behind them.
"Okay, cut!" the director's booming voice called out.
All three explosion points had gone off successfully. Lin Jianlu came to a stop beside Xie Wang, gasping softly.
Even though he'd faltered just now, he hadn't panicked too much.
It was as if he'd instinctively known that Xie Wang would hold onto him and help him avoid danger.
At some point, without realizing it, he had placed Xie Wang in the category of "people I can trust."
He was the only alpha Lin Jianlu trusted.
He had never imagined that one day, he would trust an alpha.
"Next scene, action!" the director shouted.
Xie Wang bent down, scooped Lin Jianlu up by the crook of his knees, and carried him in his arms.
Lin Jianlu's breathing became almost imperceptible.
For the upcoming explosion points, Xie Wang carried him across.
This time, Lin Jianlu didn't have to run on his own; Xie Wang held him the entire way.
The alpha's strong arms locked him securely in an unyielding embrace. His safety and trust were completely placed in Xie Wang's hands.
Yet, he wasn't as tense as he thought.
He was so close to Xie Wang that he could hear the alpha's shallow breathing, the rapid and powerful rhythm of his heartbeat, and his fingertips brushed against the firm muscles of Xie Wang's arms.
Xie Wang carried him through the remaining explosion points.
"Da Wang, your running in this scene was a bit restrained. The explosions weren't chasing you," the director said, gesturing at the footage on the monitor. Then, glancing at Lin Jianlu clinging close to Xie Wang's side, he added, "But it works well enough. Let's just keep this."
Xie Wang finally exhaled in relief.
"That's a wrap for today," the director announced. "You two, go rest."
Lin Jianlu obediently stood to the side, watching the raw footage that the director had played, looking very focused.
Xie Wang gave him a helpless glance.
He had put his full effort into the performance today, showing off every piece of abs he should, executing every flip perfectly.
Yet Lin Jianlu remained indifferent.
Scum O, tired of playing?
No longer interested in him?
Looking for the next one?
Xie Wang frowned.
You cannot.
He'd worked hard to win his wife back.
Today, Lin Jianlu was treating him coldly and did not respond even when he took the initiative to approach him.This is stolen from https://chipoholictranslations.blogspot.com/p/homepage.html
Then he could only—
"YoYo, the expressions in this scene are too good." Xie Wang squeezed forward to watch the raw footage, the edge of his jacket slung on his shoulder brushing against Lin Jianlu's cheek, leaving a streak of black dust.
"Just watch if you want. Why are you squeezing?" the director asked. "YoYo, your expression is so beautiful. You can tell at a glance this is a little O with an alpha."
Lin Jianlu was staring at Xie Wang on the screen.
Turns out, Xie Wang is this attractive when he holds him.
But for the sake of his long-term plan, he had to stay away from Xie Wang until he understood the situation better.
So handsome, but I can't fish. Sad.
So, it's better to stay away from Xie Wang for now.
He turned his head away, about to leave, but someone grabbed his wrist from behind.
"YoYo." Xie Wang pointed at his cheek. "You got some dust on it."
Xie Wang moved closer and lifted his hand, his eyes full of Lin Jianlu's reflection as if bewitched.
The back of Xie Wang's hand brushed against his cheek, gently wiping away the dust.
Lin Jianlu: "?"
--------------------
Da Wang: Do it yourself and have plenty of food and clothing.
YoYo: I didn't set fishhooks! Who set this fishhook here? QAQ
