Jiayi hurriedly stood up, facing Ye Yongning, quickly wiped away the tear streaks dried by the wind on her tender cheeks. It had to be said, the screenwriter’s skill was incredibly powerful, to the point that she herself had cried.

"Very good, Director Ye. I really like the emotional scenes involving the Taoist nun."

Ye Yongning could tell from her expression that she was very satisfied and smiled, "That’s good. You memorize the script well and ponder over the plot."

Jiayi was startled, "Director Ye, it doesn’t matter if I’m satisfied, I don’t know..."

Ye Yongning knew what she wanted to say, "I sent the script to Mr. Huo. Assistant Lin replied, Mr. Huo agreed, so just perform with confidence."

The man actually agreed to add a love scene to her character?

Jiayi couldn’t quite believe it, "Really?"

Ye Yongning nodded, "In your love scene, there aren’t any excessively intimate shots, maybe because of this, Mr. Huo was accommodating."

That was true, the Taoist nun’s emotional scenes were still very pure, and there weren’t any overly heated scenes with the Serpent Demon Monarch.

More importantly, if that man had agreed, what more was there to fuss about?!

Alright then, let’s do this, add the scene!

——

Three days later, the first official emotional confrontation with the Serpent Demon Monarch began.

This scene should be considered the one with the most significant interaction between Jiayi and the Serpent Demon Monarch in their emotional scenes.

At first, Jiayi was a bit nervous. That man would probably have informed Director Ye in advance to cut this scene, right?!

The content of the scene was that after the Taoist nun had been exorcising demons for some time, one day while passing through the forest, she bathed in the lake.

The little demon within the forest wanted to tease the Taoist nun and deliberately stole her robe and Peach Wood Sword.

The Taoist nun emerged from the lake, chased after the demon but, due to exhaustion, fainted to the ground.

The Serpent Demon Monarch arrived, scolded the demon in secret to return the clothing, then carried the Taoist nun to a nearby cave and revived her.

Although she wore a thin undergarment while bathing in the lake to prevent revealing too much, she would still be held by the Serpent Demon Monarch, personally dressed, and given water to drink...

Jiayi doubted this scene would pass the man’s review, but to her surprise, there was no response from his end.

Well, it was probably missed, right?

Or perhaps he didn’t see much of an issue with it?

While she was thinking, the on-set staff were already hurrying her, Jiayi wrapped in a large robe, stepped into the lake water.

After the little demon stole the clothes, the Taoist nun felt the demon casting a spell in the lake, clutched the collar of her thin undergarment, and ran ashore.

Without the Demon-Repelling Peach Wood Sword in hand, helpless, and ultimately overwhelmed by the demon’s powerful magic, the Taoist nun ran out of energy and collapsed.

Jiayi lay on the ground, her thin clothes wetly clinging to her skin.

Sometime later, she only felt the actor playing the Serpent Demon Monarch lift her, walking steadily.

Then, the Serpent Demon Monarch placed her in a soft, clean, and warm spot.

Although her eyes were closed, she felt complete darkness within her field of vision.

According to the script, she should have been carried into the cave and was still unconscious, unable to open her eyes.

The actor playing the Serpent Demon Monarch, she didn’t know who it was. She had wanted to meet him beforehand and rehearse the scene, but Director Ye hadn’t agreed.

She thought about it too, who was she in the film industry anyway, just a newcomer. How could he possibly take the time to rehearse with her in advance?

However, walking all the way, Jiayi could feel his arms were strong and firm, holding her very securely.

This male actor’s movements were so gentle, so kind, not rough at all.

"So professional, must be an old drama bone, huh?"

After being placed on the soft bed, Jiayi felt him once again scoop up her waist and lift her.

The man’s powerful arms circled the girl’s slender and soft waist, allowing her to curl up comfortably in his embrace. He also carefully brushed away the hair clinging to the girl’s eyes due to the water.

Jiayi nestled in his arms, her cherry lips pried open, a stream of warm water flowed into her mouth—Serpent Demon Monarch was feeding her water.

The man’s action of feeding water was neither fast nor slow, and the amount was just perfect as it entered Jiayi’s mouth.

However, Jiayi was performing such an intimate scene with a male actor for the first time and felt a bit nervous. She didn’t hold the water in her mouth well, her little face scrunched up, and she almost coughed it out.

Before the cough could escape, she felt a gust of warm breath brush across her face, sealing her little mouth and perfectly stifling the cough that had been about to escape.

"Mmm..."

That sensation, fleshy, slightly chilly, was unmistakably the Serpent Demon Monarch kissing her!

Heavens, there was no such plot in the script!

This kissing scene... did the Serpent Demon Monarch improvise it himself?

She started in alarm, opened her eyes, but the light was dim—it was a makeshift cave prepared by the crew, poorly illuminated, with only the distant photography lights shining.

She could not see the man’s face clearly, but she knew that she could not resist loudly.

Although she hadn’t been in the business for long, she understood that as a professional actor, you must not break character until the director yells cut. Otherwise, it wasn’t professional, and you might get scolded by the director.

In serious cases, you could even lose the right to continue acting.

In these few seconds of hesitation, the man’s tongue forcefully pried open her delicate teeth, pushed all the water in her mouth in, then quickly withdrew, once again wrapping around her waist.

Her heart was pounding fiercely.

Was this considered harassment in the workplace?

Before entering the industry, she had heard that many male actors would take advantage of intimate scenes to purposely tease female actors—

Could it be that it had happened to her?

Or was the Serpent Demon Monarch only trying to prevent an NG due to her cough?

Moreover, if the Serpent Demon Monarch had added the kiss on his own, Director Ye should have called cut by now, so why was there still no move?

At this time, the Serpent Demon Monarch began to wipe the water off her body, bit by bit.

In the dim light, the Serpent Demon Monarch seemed familiar with every part of her body.

While drying her off, the man’s fingertips inadvertently brushed against the girl’s tender areas.

She felt hot all over, clenching her little fists.

Because she had just come out of the water, her underwear was soaked through, her clothes clinging tightly to her soft body, outlining the shape of her breasts all too clearly...

Although she couldn’t see herself at the moment, she could feel her face blushing as if it were about to explode.

She took a deep breath, trying her best to calm herself.

This was acting, just work. Since he was buttoning her up, such contact was inevitable.

This Serpent Demon Monarch, it must have been unintentional!

Perhaps due to her acquiescence, the Serpent Demon Monarch’s lingering hands on her body became even more bold.

She was playing a person who had fainted, unable to make any resisting movements.

She could only let the Serpent Demon Monarch hold her, taking liberties with his hands, taking full advantage.
