Chapter 317: Why are you chasing me
Chapter 317
“Ahahaha... The bow had problems, I had problems, Teacher Qin’s skills are so good, hahahaha! Are you still teaching classes? Let’s put aside horse riding for now, I mainly want to learn skills, hahahaha...”
《The Skills to Shoot Arrows Out By Tens of Centimeters》
Another blunder.
Although it didn’t affect filming, it did affect her reputation.
Seeing Qiao Sixiao’s merciless mockery, Qin Wei didn’t say a word, but she was already gritting her teeth.
She let Qiao Sixiao mock her unbridledly. No one around dared to stop her either. Once Qiao Sixiao had laughed enough, she left, and the world became quiet again.
“Let’s go over the lines.”
Shen Kai came over at the right time. While letting his assistant tidy up his makeup and hair, he seized the time to go over lines.
Shen Kai didn’t play favorites when filming. He treated every scene seriously.
Qin Wei didn’t dare to be negligent either. She adjusted her emotions and went over the next scene’s confirmation with him, script in hand.
...
Shen Qingqing only came at lunchtime. Her assistant carried many food boxes, large and small. It seemed she had been busy with these all morning.
“The ingredients were airlifted here. The chef is from the capital city. Kai Ge, you’ve worked hard, eat some tasty food and dishes.”
Shen Qingqing smiled as she walked over and had her assistant set up a table under the temporary sunshade shelter where the actors took breaks. The table was neatly laid out with dishes.
High class yet exquisite. Even the tableware was elaborate. The standards weren’t lowered at all despite being outdoors.
The other party was a actress he had worked with before. In Shen Kai\'s impression, Shen Qingqing was a serious and dedicated young actress. Plus she was on good terms with Qin Wei, so he didn\'t reject her invitation.
Shen Qingqing happily took a seat.
Coincidentally, Qin Wei walked by just then. Shen Qingqing\'s smile froze as she pointed to the table of exquisite food and gritted her teeth while forcing out a smile.
“Do you want (get lost) to come over (hurry up) and eat (and get lost) together?”
“Ah no no no!”
Qin Wei was very good at reading expressions. She turned around, took her assistant\'s hand holding Little Red Date’s reins, and led her away.
“Kai Ge, this black truffle pasta is made by the chef you’ve eaten from before. I invited him over this time too...”
Shen Kai\'s gaze also followed her departure.
“Liang, I\'ll eat later. I\'m going to take the horse out for a walk now. If you’re hungry, go ahead and eat first.”
After leaving the rest area, Qin Wei got on the horse and said to Li Liang,
“I’ll eat with you later. Just ride around in this area, I\'ll keep an eye on you.”
Qin Wei didn\'t refuse and casually strolled around on her horse.
“I’ve eaten my fill, thanks for the meal.”
Shen Kai didn\'t listen to what Shen Qingqing was saying. After hurriedly eating a few bites, he got up and left, asking his assistant to bring his horse over. Then he rode after Qin Wei.
Clip clop clip clop——
Hearing the sound of hooves, Qin Wei looked back and her heart sank.
“Hiya!”
Qin Wei urged her Little Red Date to quicken its pace too.
The chase quickened until everyone saw the two actors racing on the set.
Staff A: “Are they racing? Kai Ge has filmed equestrian scenes before and also likes horseback riding as a hobby. He can win.”
Staff B: “Don’t underestimate Teacher Qin’s horse just because it’s big. But I feel Little Red Date has better odds! Teacher Sheng personally picked this horse for Teacher Qin. Teacher Sheng is quite knowledgeable about horses...”
Li Liang: “...”
You chase me, I escape. Qin Wei galloped at top speed while Shen Kai doggedly pursued her. Fortunately, Little Red Date kept the upper hand and was never caught up to.
But Little Red Date had limited endurance and the distance between them gradually shortened.
Seeing they were getting further and further from the set, Qin Wei glared back at him,
“What are you chasing me for?!”
“Can’t we just talk normally?”
As they spoke, Shen Kai had already caught up to her and blocked her path, spurring his horse on.
But he was too hasty, suddenly blocking the way clearly startled Little Red Date.
Although Qin Wei pulled the reins in time, Little Red Date still panicked and reared up on its front legs.
Just as it seemed about to lose control, the man who had ridden up behind them grabbed Little Red Date\'s reins in time to get the situation under control.
Qin Wei breathed a sigh of relief when she realized it was a friend.
“Sheng Lin.”
Sheng Lin nodded, glancing at Shen Kai as he explained,
“Didn’t mean to follow you, just...”
Only now did Sheng Lin dare to let go of the reins. He looked at Qin Wei worriedly, unable to hide his concern.
“Even the children who grew up riding horses on the grasslands don’t dare race recklessly like you. It’s very dangerous. If you fall off the horse, you could get caught in the stirrups and dragged to death by the horse...”
Sheng Lin didn\'t continue. From his understanding of Qin Wei, she wouldn\'t normally do this. It was clearly because of the man next to her who had chased her into a panic.
“Let’s head back.”
After calming herself down, Qin Wei spoke to Sheng Lin,
“Thanks again this time.”
...
Riding the horses back, Li Liang was scared to death. Seeing Qin Wei gallop away, Li Liang went to find the props team, medical team, and local groom to look for her. The props team also drove over in an off-road vehicle, and saw Qin Wei\'s group riding back.
Even the director and executive producer came over, alarmed.
Qin Wei said it was nothing while dismounting from the horse.
“Qin Wei.”
Shen Kai called out to stop her, looking extremely remorseful.
“I...I’m very sorry... I just wanted to talk to you...”
Just as Qin Wei seemed about to say something, she heard Qiao Sixiao call out to her,
“Are you okay?”
Looks like even the crew next door was alarmed. Qiao Sixiao and Su Yang had come over still in costume.
It’s no big deal...
But Qin Wei secretly glanced at Shen Kai, then pouted and put her arms around Qiao Sixiao\'s neck,
“I was scared afterward, afraid something might happen and I wouldn\'t get to see you again. I kept thinking of only you just now...”
Qiao Sixiao couldn\'t push her off no matter how hard she tried.
“Shen Kai left already, ugh let me go you rascal...”
Qiao Sixiao lowered her voice and swore, before Qin Wei finally let her go.
“Did I seem sincere?”
Qiao Sixiao shook her head. “Not sincere at all. There wasn’t even a bit of transition. When I got here you were still steady as an old dog. As soon as you saw me you became weak and fragile. It was too sudden, obviously fake.”
Qin Wei pouted. “I was just putting on a brave front earlier. Seeing you come, my defenses crumbled and I broke down. That was my train of thought.”
Qiao Sixiao started to sincerely teach her acting, “That’s a bit contrived. You should at least look back at me first, preferably pausing for one or two seconds when you see me.
Then show your grievance. Next, call my name with a sob. When I raise my hand, you walk over and hug me with faltering steps, falling into my embrace.
Not suddenly putting me in a headlock. What kind of assassin move was that?”
“But I feel like that has too much obvious subtext.”
Qin Wei stepped back two paces, turned around, and gave Qiao Sixiao a aggrieved look with tears welling up in her eyes.
“Teacher Qiao.”
Her voice was extremely distressed. Only when Qiao Sixiao raised her hand did she hug her and cry grievously.
“Cut!”
Su Yang spontaneously called the shot, then commented, “Qin Wei, your ‘Teacher Qiao’ felt too deliberate. Also, your hand on her shoulder might seem more natural instead of insistently hugging her neck... Or how about I demonstrate...”
“You’re teaching someone with more acting experience?”
Qiao Sixiao said and glanced at him coldly,
“Barging in on the fun. Go back and continue filming.”
After repeatedly telling her not to court disaster, Qiao Sixiao went back to shoot her scenes. Li Liang brought over the lunch boxes for Qin Wei to eat and rest.
Qin Wei obediently ate her meal sitting on a folding chair. Shen Kai put another folding chair next to her and sat down.
Qin Wei got up to leave but was called back by Shen Kai, “I’m holding the script. Others will assume you’re going over lines with me while eating. I don’t have any other intentions, I just want to talk to you.”
“Go ahead.”
Rather than having him chase her every day, she might as well face him calmly. At least that showed she had a clear conscience.
