༻❁༺

The male and female leads seemed a little out of it today. There were quite a few outtakes before they finished their scene. When I finished shooting my scenes in another set and returned, it was just Gu Yiliang's turn to get in front of the camera.

So I didn't go remove my makeup. I just stood outside and watched him.

༻❁༺

I was probably the most nervous person on the whole set when Gu Yiliang was in action.

༻❁༺

The executive manager was watching him with gratification.

The director and the assistant director were watching him with praise.

The young actors were watching him with either admiration or envy.

The art director and the martial arts coach were watching him with appreciation.

I was watching him with nervousness, worry, anxiety, concern, uneasiness, stress, panic, and quite some fear.

༻❁༺

When he was doing stunt rigging, I wished I could fly up to catch him.

When he was wielding the blades and the spears, I wished I could throw myself over to be his shield.

When he was walking along the river, I was afraid he would fall in. When he was up on the roof, I was afraid he would fall down. When he stood on the tree, I was afraid the branch would break. When he was running, I was afraid he would sprain his ankle. Even when the female lead was cutting paper flowers with a pair of scissors in front of him, I was afraid that the scissors would be sharp and stab him.

༻❁༺

If you have to ask why...

This is called being prepared for the worst! My friends!

Who's his only adversary out of the whole production team? It's me!

Who does the outside world think is on bad terms with him? It's me!

If something ever happens to him (crossing fingers), who will his fans suspect first of harming him? It's also me!

༻❁༺

Don't think I'm exaggerating.

About half a year after our debut, Gu Yiliang once attended a live show half a motherland away from me. The program messed up the order in which guests came out and made a new actor like him the center, an incident which attracted a wave of criticism.

Meanwhile, I happened to be spotted by others praying at Nanpu Temple with my friends.

Okay, so it turned out that I had been casting a spell to curse him remotely.

Even my Pretty Yans believed so. They even praised me in private, saying that I did a good job for having a 'sense of competition'.

༻❁༺

Say, what kind of temple handles this type of business?

Will the Bodhisattvas even approve?

I went there to pray for a good marriage, alright?!

༻❁༺

How do I know about these things?

Thanks to Little Chen, the amount of trash posts I've looked through is nothing less than the amount of fluff I've read.
