From Villain to Cherished: Counter My Role by Pampering Kids-Chapter 33: Playing Refugee

In the crowd, a dark, skinny person was squeezed among a group of soldiers, wearing a helmet. She was dressed in somewhat heavy armor, with only her pair of clean and bright eyes showing.

Little Su Luo wondered, "Isn’t that Auntie?"

Little Su Hua said, "I think it’s Auntie."

Little Su Luo frowned, "How did Auntie turn into a man?"

Su Xingwan, who was observing the set, turned her head and saw the two little ones.

There was a hint of surprise in her eyes.

Then, she met the gazes of the two little ones and quickly waved her hands, smiling at them.

The two little ones confirmed it was Auntie and shouted excitedly.

"Auntie! Auntie!"

Due to the noise and commotion on the set, Su Xingwan couldn’t hear their voices, but she knew they were calling her based on their mouth shapes.

The director shouted through a megaphone, "Everyone listen up! All actors, stand in your positions, don’t stand in the wrong spot!"

Su Xingwan listened to the director and quickly stood with the soldiers dressed like her, alongside Aunt Zhang.

When the director shouted "action."

Su Xingwan charged in, wielding a long spear.

She had a line to say.

Which was to shout at the enemy troops opposite her.

"Attack!"

Then came the fierce battle between the two armies, with the sounds of weapons clashing.

Su Xingwan was quickly pierced by the protagonist’s sword and fell down.

The two little ones were stunned when they saw Auntie fall.

"...Auntie."

Aunt Zhang explained beside them, "Auntie is acting; she’ll stand up in a moment."

The two little ones didn’t understand.

But they understood Auntie would stand up soon.

When out of camera sight, Su Xingwan quickly revived and continued to charge forward.

It was still the same line.

"Attack!"

Then she was quickly killed again by the protagonists, and she got up somewhere else, charging at the protagonists again, and was once more pierced by a sword.

The two little ones watched Auntie running around the set, sometimes here, sometimes there.

"Aunt Zhang, we want to play too!"

The two little ones expressed their desire to join Auntie’s game and run with her.

Aunt Zhang chuckled and said, "It’s quite tiring; you’d better not go."

Su Xingwan kept dying and reviving on the set.

The number of soldiers remained the same, no more, no less.

Su Xingwan only had two words in her mind: So tired!

Her legs were sore and aching from all the running.

After the protagonists finished their lines and this part ended, she finally got to lie down and rest for a while.

Su Xingwan thought to herself.

She finally understood why, when she watched TV dramas, the protagonists couldn’t eliminate the henchmen after fighting for so long.

Thinking about it made her want to laugh.

Soon after, the next scene began.

Su Xingwan got up from the ground and continued to repeat the killing actions from before.

Filming went on until almost noon, and when it finally finished, Su Xingwan panted heavily, with all the makeup on her face gone.

The previous Aunt Zhang, also drenched in sweat, walked over.

"Tough work, right, Missy?"

"Mmm." Su Xingwan wiped the sweat off her face with a towel, her eyes blurred by sweat, and her face both black and red.

Aunt Zhang chuckled and said, "This is just the beginning."

While changing clothes, the two little ones followed her in.

Aunt Zhang saw them and smiled, "These must be your sister’s kids? They’re so cute."

The two little ones politely called her Aunt Zhang.

For the afternoon scenes, Su Xingwan had to dress up again.

The two little ones held Auntie’s hand, expressing their desire to join in.

Su Xingwan hesitated.

Aunt Zhang noticed and said with a smile, "The afternoon scenes aren’t as tiring. If they want to act, let them. Just put the costumes on them and go."

Due to time constraints, the two little ones didn’t have much preparation before going on set.

Since this drama is a major production, this time it was shot on location.

In front of them was an ancient street, with people yelling to sell goods around them.

Su Xingwan asked Aunt Zhang, who was with them, "How should we perform here?"

Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "You can improvise a bit here. Just walk around normally with them until you hear someone shout, then just run with the crowd."

Then, Su Xingwan, dressed in commoner clothes with a waxy yellow, plain face, strolled around the street holding the hands of the two little ones.

The two little ones found everything in front of them very novel.

Suddenly, one of the directors ahead shouted through a megaphone, "What’s up with those two kids? How come they’re on set without makeup?"

Aunt Zhang hurried over and said, "Sorry, they didn’t have time for it."

"Quickly take them to get made-up right now before they go on!"

The director looked at the two kids, their little faces pale and tender like carved jade, more like disguised prince and princess rather than ordinary kids, easily exposing them in the camera.

He wondered why such children were cast as extras.

Usually, if children are on set, whether they wear makeup or not isn’t a big deal, but since this is a big IP production, it’s being closely watched, and since Director Chen is overseeing it, standards are more stringent.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Aunt Zhang said quickly.

After the two kids were finally made-up and back on set, they quickly heard someone in the crowd shout.

"Everyone run! The savages have breached the city!"

As the words fell, the street instantly became a battlefield, with buildings vanishing before their eyes.

Su Xingwan held one child in her arms and led the other by the hand.

Faced with the sudden change, the two little ones were instantly nervous.

After running for a while, Su Xingwan couldn’t run anymore.

So she hid the two little ones in a pile of straw and said to them, "Rest here for a bit. When the director says cut, I’ll come back to find you."

The two little ones looked up with nervous yet excited big eyes.

"Okay, Auntie!"

Then, Su Xingwan covered them with straw. Glancing around, she followed the crowd of civilians running ahead.

This scene of Su Xingwan was captured by the director, who thought it had a good effect and kept it in.

Aunt Zhang pulled her along, running all the way forward.

Su Xingwan didn’t know that since she hid the little ones in the straw, one camera was focused on her.

Since this was an ancient and remote city, the lake was reached soon after.

Aunt Zhang pulled her and said, "Jump in, Missy!"

Su Xingwan was surprised, "Is that allowed?"

Aunt Zhang whispered, "This is called scene-stealing."

Then, without hesitation, Aunt Zhang took her and jumped into the cold lake water.

After the group of enemy soldiers passed, they both emerged from the water.

As they emerged, Su Xingwan’s headscarf came off; her hair spread out, and most of the yellow makeup on her face had washed away, revealing her fair and bright face.

Director Li, watching from the equipment, noticed and asked, "Who is she? Why haven’t I seen her before?"
