After a Contractual Marriage, Little Taotie Went Viral!-Chapter 357 - 349: I Want You to Feel Sorry for Me

Chapter 357: Chapter 349: I Want You to Feel Sorry for Me

"Cut." The director called out with a frown.

Hearing the director’s voice, Qin Yun paused and turned her head towards the director with a slightly confused expression on her delicate face.

Pei Yan’s hand around Qin Yun’s waist did not loosen; the two remained body against body, one tall and one short, both strikingly attractive, looking very much like a young couple.

Qin Yun’s attention was focused on the director, so she didn’t pay much attention.

At this moment, the director poked his head out from behind the machine and said to Qin Yun, "Qin Yun, your reaction just now wasn’t quite right. Li Beauty has been undercover for so many years, dealing with all sorts of people daily. Although she remains vigilant, she’s used to soothing her subconscious bodily reactions in other ways, and you can’t express it so stiffly."

Qin Yun pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then gave the director an okay hand gesture.

Director: "Adjust your emotions and do it again."

"Don’t worry, I’m with you." Pei Yan slightly tilted his head and whispered to her softly.

The hand on her waist applied a gentle pressure, making her aware of his presence.

Qin Yun felt the warmth of his hand on her waist and nodded.

After the director called for action, the two reshot the scene.

This time the effect was much better, but there was a little accident at the end. Qin Yun was grazed by a rickshaw, unlike in the script, and unprepared, she instinctively tried to grab something, ending up grabbing Pei Yan’s tie.

Pei Yan was pulled down by the tie, seeing Qin Yun about to fall to the ground. Because he was being yanked by the tie, his body leaned forward into hers. Pei Yan quickly grabbed her hand, holding Qin Yun’s arms and skillfully swapped positions.

"Bang—"

Pei Yan hit the ground with his back hard against the concrete, yet he didn’t even frown, one arm holding her waist, the other protecting her head, enclosing Qin Yun in his embrace.

With a slightly hoarse voice, Pei Yan lowered his head and asked, "Are you okay?"

"I’m fine." Qin Yun frowned slightly, looking at Pei Yan under her, immediately guessing what had happened.

She realized she was lying completely in his arms, her hand still clutching Pei Yan’s tie.

The staff initially wanted to come over but, seeing that the director didn’t call cut, stayed put.

Pei Yan also noticed the issue, quickly thought it through, looked at her in his arms, and laughed, "Miss Li, aren’t you gonna get off?"

Qin Yun was taken aback, then realized that without the director’s "cut," they had to keep acting.

"Sorry." She immediately let go of the tie, crawled off Gu Changjun, and stood upright.

Gu Changjun sat up, one leg slightly bent, one hand adjusting his bow tie.

Li Beauty saw the scene and graciously extended a hand to Gu Changjun, smiling, "Let me pull you up as thanks for taking my fall."

Gu Changjun raised an eyebrow, "Isn’t this worth a meal?"

He spoke as he grabbed Li Beauty’s outstretched hand.

But the next moment, Li Beauty withdrew her hand, "Forget it then."

Gu Changjun grabbed her retreating hand, stood up, "When a hand is offered, how can it be withdrawn?"

The two could not help but exchange a knowing smile.

"Cut." The director immediately called out, "This take is good."

Qin Yun thought of how Pei Yan had taken the full force of their weight on the concrete to catch her and asked with concern, "Is your back okay?"

Pei Yan was about to say he was fine, but seeing the concern in Qin Yun’s eyes, changed his words, "Probably just a bit scraped."

"Pei Yan, you’re injured?" The director happened to hear this and asked with a frown.

"Yuanyuan, go to the van and get the medicine." Qin Yun immediately turned and said to Yuanyuan.

Yuanyuan was about to go get the medicine.

The director thought for a moment; he was quite satisfied with the last take and said with a frown, "The last take was good. Don’t apply the medicine yet; we can add a shot. If you apply it, we’ll have to redo the wound next time. It’s perfect for shooting now, with a real injury."

Qin Yun frowned and was about to say something when Pei Yan nodded, responding, "Alright."

With the answer, the director immediately waved the scriptwriter over to discuss the dialogue for the next shot, making adjustments on the fly, and had the production staff prepare the necessary set pieces.

Taking advantage of everyone’s busyness, Pei Yan pulled Qin Yun into his private dressing room.

In the dressing room, seeing the two, the makeup artists exited willingly.

"Want to take a look?" Pei Yan lowered his gaze and asked softly.

"Hmm? Look at what?" Qin Yun frowned, asking.

"Weren’t you concerned about my injury?" Pei Yan asked.

Qin Yun gave him a sideways glance, "Didn’t you say it’s just a scratch?"

"Yes, a minor injury, but I want you to feel sorry for me, so I’m letting you see it." Pei Yan paused and nodded, speaking seriously.

For some unknown reason, Qin Yun suddenly found his words amusing.

Earlier, she was lying on Pei Yan, and he didn’t even frown. Now he says he wants her to feel sorry, so he’s letting her see his scratched skin?

"Alright, take off your clothes and let me see your ’minor injury.’" Qin Yun’s eyes curved, emphasizing the last two words.

A trace of helplessness flickered in Pei Yan’s deep eyes. He looked at her intently for a few seconds before slowly beginning to undress.

Qin Yun then noticed that Pei Yan’s jacket was slightly torn, likely from the scrape against the ground earlier.

As Pei Yan took off his jacket, Qin Yun saw bloodstains on his elbow.

She walked over, frowning, rolled his shirt sleeves above his elbow, and examined where his elbow was scraped and bleeding slightly, but it wasn’t severe.

This arm must be the one that wrapped around her waist to prevent her from falling, and it collided with the ground with those tiny stones, causing the scrape.

"Anywhere else? Any other injuries?" Qin Yun frowned, inspecting him from behind.

"Nope." Pei Yan finished speaking, paused, then raised an eyebrow, "Or I could take off all my clothes for you to check?"

"Fine." Qin Yun seriously considered for two seconds, then nodded.

Pei Yan: "..."

Under Qin Yun’s steady gaze, Pei Yan removed his vest and began untying his tie.

His movements were unhurried, even slow, a bit at a time, drawing Qin Yun’s attention. She had always known Pei Yan’s hands were good-looking, but she hadn’t expected undoing a tie could be so captivating.

It was just a simple action, yet Qin Yun found a different taste in it.

Unconsciously, Qin Yun swallowed, her eyes following his well-defined fingers as he removed the tie, casually draping it over a chair before starting to unbutton his shirt, one button at a time.
