Twenty-second day of Separation (2)

One day later, the recording of “On Screen'' officially started in Studio 1 of Fruit Station Channel.

Liang Yan and Zhou Yuqi had finished their preparations and were waiting nervously in the background.

Both of the ladies wore the same ancient costume. Considering the action scenes, they wore tight trousers. The only difference between the women was their hairstyle. Zhou Yuqi’s hair was half-coiled, half-draped, and a golden hairpin was inserted in the bun. As for Liang Yan, her hair was piled at the top of her head, and she wore a small crown.

Liang Yan stared at herself in the mirror. After putting on the makeup and looking a little more, she felt more handsome in the costume.

Not pretty, but a really handsome male.

The last group’s show was over, and it would be their turn soon. The props master was busily doing a final check on the props and the safety measures for them.

Zhou Yuqi made various mistakes during the rehearsals, so she was very nervous. During the rehearsals, she couldn’t keep her balance when she was lifted on air by the wires.

Liang Yas wasn’t any better. Glancing at the magnificent stage, she noticed the crowd of audience members. Knowing that a lot of them were here for her, the psychological pressure was heavy.

As the host finished his speech, the props were ready. The curtain slowly opened.

The audience’ applause echoed in the venue.

Cheering each other silently, Liang Yan and Zhou Yuqi glanced at each other.

Because the two heroines were part of the jianghu, the first scene’s setting was on top of the roof in the middle of the night. The roof was built by raising a platform in the studio.

The actor who played the male in the story appeared, triggering a dispute between Liang Yan and Zhou Yuqi. The quarrel escalated, their emotions ran rampant, and swords were drawn. They came to blows, starting to fight.

The two cooperated really well during the roof fight, recalling the martial arts instructor’s teachings. Their interpretation of the fight became more and more intense, Liang Yan retreated to the corner of the roof and leaped down because of the pressure behind her. Her body landed gracefully.

Zhou Yuqi, as her role stated, had to catch up to Liang Yan.

Zhou Yuqi gave a lot of effort and time, practicing this part really hard during rehearsals. She had a slight fear of heights, and her legs got weak every time she jumped. But knowing that she was acting the part of the scene, Zhou Yuqi bore it, gritting her teeth in the process as she leaped down, performing the movements taught by the martial arts instructor.

Firmly standing on the ground, Liang Yan looked up at Zhou Yuqi.

The props used during rehearsals were different from the props during the formal performance, hoping to make the set more realistic. When Zhou Yuqi jumped down, her movements halted for a bit as the back of her costume snagged the edge of the props.

It scraped Zhou Yuqi’s body and her center of gravity became unstable while she was hanging in the air. The props master behind her didn’t know the exact situation and continued to lower Zhou Yuqi.

Panicking, Zhou Yuqi closed her eyes tightly, believing she would fall directly to the ground.

Noticing the problem, Liang Yan rushed to Zhou Yuqi’s direction.

......

Everyone in the audience was stunned.

Liang Yan, who just landed, immediately turned around and ran back two steps, stretching out her hands to catch Zhou Yuqi who jumped down. She caught Zhou Yuqi firmly in her hands.

Then, she held her tightly, bearing her weight, and in order to lighten her load, she spun in a circle smoothly.

......

Liang Yan didn’t expect Zhou Yuqi to be very heavy despite her petite body.

Knowing that they were still in the middle of the scene, she placed Zhou Yuqi on the ground without showing any emotions on her face. Liang Yan then omitted the parts where they would fight on the ground, and she simply pointed at Zhou Yuqi, directly talking.

Despite feeling dizzy, Zhou Yuqi caught on to Liang Yan’s actions and continued to act like nothing happened.

**************

“Dark Night” was over, so Lu Lincheng recorded a talk show on Fruit Station Channel.

During the break, a staff member mentioned that Lu Lincheng’s ex-wife was recording a show next door.

Liang Yan?

Lu Lincheng recalled that Liang Yan was one of the contestants in an acting variety show, and she immediately formed a CP with her partner during the first episode.

Lu Lincheng thought about the battle between “The Collision of Hearts” vs. “Liang Xuyanfan” CP fans. His face turned black.

He got a black cap, wore it, and headed to the studio next door. Lu Lincheng stood at the back of the audience, ready to take a look then leave.

Watching the stage, he froze for a few moments, thinking that he must be seeing things. To make sure, he squinted his eyes and looked carefully.

Now, he could see it clearly.

So, Liang Yan was holding a woman in a princess-carry as she moved on stage, spinning in circles?
