The Villain Just Want to Be a Slacker [Transmigration]

35

The feeling was strange, so strange that Tang Jing didn't even know what words to use to describe his emotions.

As soon as Chen Zhengtian called "cut," Tang Jing immediately stood up from behind the monitor.

Ye Zexi hadn't yet come out of the scene. He remained in position, leaning against the corner of the wall with tears still streaming down his face. His nose and eyes were red, and his pale face was streaked with tear marks.

Seeing him in such a pitiful state made Tang Jing's heart tighten.

Tang Jing looked over to the nearby staff and asked softly, "Do you have any tissues?"

The staff member, who also had reddened eyes, snapped out of their daze upon hearing Tang Jing's voice and quickly pulled out a pack of tissues to hand over.

Tang Jing whispered his thanks and took the tissues, heading toward Ye Zexi.

But before Tang Jing could get close, a familiar figure reached Ye Zexi first.

"Are you alright?" He Jinyun handed Ye Zexi a tissue and gently helped him up.

At that moment, Gao Shu also approached, holding an umbrella to shield Ye Zexi from the sun.

Tang Jing stopped in his tracks, choosing not to move forward.

Ye Zexi had calmed down by then. He remembered to keep his distance from He Jinyun, quickly waving his hand and saying, "I'm fine now, really."

With that, he forced a bright smile, the remaining tears on his face glistening in the sunlight.

Seeing that Ye Zexi was okay, He Jinyun let go of him and smiled, "That's good. You did great in that take. Tomorrow, we'll just shoot a few additional details. You can go rest now."

"Thank you." Being complimented was always a pleasant experience, and Ye Zexi's smile deepened.

Chen Zhengtian also nodded, signaling the end of Ye Zexi's scenes for the day. Gao Shu then said, "Shall we head to remove your makeup now, young master?"

Ye Zexi didn't say a word, but suddenly glanced in Tang Jing's direction.

Tang Jing hadn't expected Ye Zexi to look over, and was caught off guard, his expression frozen in place.

Seeing Tang Jing's expression, Ye Zexi inwardly cursed.

He's definitely misunderstood!

Why did He Jinyun have to help him up just now?

In that moment, Ye Zexi didn't bother with He Jinyun anymore and walked directly toward Tang Jing.

As he approached, Ye Zexi noticed the tissues in Tang Jing's hand.

"Were these for me?" Ye Zexi smiled and extended his hand toward Tang Jing.

Tang Jing snapped out of his daze, clearing his throat as he explained, "I saw that you were still in the scene, so I thought..."

"Thanks!" Ye Zexi took the tissues from Tang Jing, the warmth of his fingers lingering on Tang Jing's hand.

Ye Zexi casually wiped his face with the tissue, then winked at Tang Jing, lowering his voice to offer some advice. "Don't worry, Teacher He only came to help because I couldn't stand up. But instead of bringing me tissues, maybe you should give them to him. That would help maintain your relationship."

Tang Jing, who had been absentmindedly rubbing his fingers together, didn't quite catch what Ye Zexi meant. "Huh?"

Ye Zexi smoothly shifted the topic. "How was my performance just now?"
