Chapter 227 Schizophrenia
As the setting sun completely disappeared behind the magnificent red walls of the Han Palace, Yu Zheng finally put down the walkie-talkie with satisfaction.
"Cut! That's a wrap! Everyone's worked hard! Let's go have dinner first, we still have a night shoot later."
With that command, the entire crew seemed to have been put on hold.
People were opening their phones, putting down their props, and exchanging jokes.
At this moment, Jiang Bai looked as if he had just finished a 10,000-meter race, exuding a sense of decadence caused by his soul being excessively strained.
For the entire afternoon, he felt as if he wasn't acting, but rather undergoing an extreme form of "schizophrenia."
Whenever the camera is pointed at him.
Zhang Yan's personality seemed to be on fire, taking over her entire being.
He gave He Shengming a pitiful smile, thinking to himself:
"General, Yan'er is willing to keep your secret and die in the deep palace."
Deep down, however, the seemingly clueless Jiang Bai was frantically scratching at the wall:
"Chief! Look at that man's eyes!"
"He's definitely fallen for me!"
"My measly 12 stamina points are barely enough to suppress my instinct to fight back!"
Especially in several close-quarters scenes.
He Shengming's gaze had gradually evolved from "dedicated affection" to "genuine surrender".
Where was the slightest trace of the restraint of General Zhou Yafu in those eyes?
It was clearly written: "Teacher Bai Zhi, what kind of deity are you? I want to take you home right now to see my cat that can do backflips."
And then there's that old fox Yu Zheng, sitting behind the monitor.
One moment he was chuckling to himself while touching his chin, the next he was winking at Jiang Bai.
That expression clearly said:
"Little Baizhi, give it your all! Completely bewitch this kid, and our show will be a smash hit!"
Chills.
A bone-chilling cold!
"Chief... I can't take it anymore."
Jiang Bai weakly called out in his mind,
"If this continues, I'm afraid I really won't be able to resist embroidering a purse for He Shengming."
[Ding! We suggest embroidering a few more; he'll love you even more!]
"Get lost!"
Jiang Bai rolled his eyes and was about to leave when he turned around and found He Shengming, who played Zhou Yafu, standing not far away, staring intently at him.
His eyes were filled with the conflicting emotions of "Teacher Bai Zhi, I have something to say to you, but I'm afraid of being presumptuous."
"Teacher Jiang, um... see you tonight."
He Shengming gripped the longsword in his hand somewhat awkwardly.
Before Jiang Bai could react, the "Zhang Yan figure" in his mind suddenly jumped up excitedly.
[Zhang Yan, the villain: "General! The general is saying goodbye to me! Quick, give him a sweet smile! And add, 'Your Majesty, I'll be waiting for you in my dreams!' Hurry!"]
[Jiang Bai, the big man: "Wait my ass! Get back to your room and lock yourself up! And Teacher He, I'm begging you, stop with that wolfish look in your eyes. I was just acting, you know?!"]
in reality.
Jiang Bai simply nodded slightly, then disappeared from the scene at the speed of fleeing the accident site.
That purplish-red silhouette, in He Shengming's eyes, became "a shy figure fleeing in panic."
He Shengming stood there, scratching his head with a silly grin:
"She looked at me just now... Was she shy?"
"That's true. Ms. Jiang was a bit shy all afternoon and didn't really initiate conversation with me."
Yu Zheng, who was passing by, saw this and casually patted He Shengming on the shoulder, his smile carrying a profound meaning:
"Yafu, are you still not out of character?"
"Take it easy, this Bai Zhi teacher... is not someone that ordinary actresses can compare to."
He Shengming scratched his head, his face turning slightly red:
"Teacher Jiang is definitely not comparable to ordinary actresses; Teacher Jiang is even more beautiful."
When Yu Zheng saw He Shengming blush, he almost burst out laughing, and it took him a while to calm down.
"Yes! That's right, Bai Zhi is more beautiful than most actresses!"
.......
Here.
Jiang Bai dashed to the food distribution area with a burst of sparks and lightning.
At that moment, he had only one desire—to eat rice.
"Zhang Yan's little personality must have starved to death. That scene this afternoon burned at least 10,000 calories of my energy. I could swallow a bulldozer whole right now!"
Jiang Bai strode over to the food cart.
The staff member responsible for distributing the boxed meals was busy chatting with someone when he looked up and saw Jiang Bai. He immediately straightened his back.
His eyes were filled with awe and anticipation for watching a "big eater".
Jiang Bai was about to extend his hand and make a "four" gesture.
Before anyone could even speak, the other person deftly pulled out four heavy lunch boxes and a bag of steaming chicken legs from a specially reserved box next to them.
"Teacher Baizhi, this is for you."
The staff member smiled broadly and spoke with utmost respect.
"Teacher, that chicken leg was an extra one I prepared especially for you. Please eat more; look how slim your waist is, the whole crew feels sorry for you!"
Jiang Bai's hand, which was originally about to hold up numbers, froze in mid-air. He awkwardly withdrew it, a hint of hesitation in his voice.
"Um... how did you know I wanted four portions?"
The staff member looked around, then leaned closer mysteriously and whispered:
"Director Yu specifically instructed me! He said that Bai Zhi is playing a tragic role, and if she is suffering in her heart, she must be sincere in her feelings."
"He told us to double the amount for your lunchbox next time we distribute them!"
"Director Yu said that if Teacher Bai Zhi gets thin from starvation in our group, it would be a slap in his face!"
Jiang Bai's lips twitched.
What a cunning old man Yu Laoliu!
Are they treating me like a pig being fed by the film crew?
"Thank you... thank you, Director Yu."
Jiang Bai gritted his teeth and took the lunchboxes that were piled up like a small mountain.
Before leaving, the staff member added:
"Um... is that enough, Ms. Jiang Baizhi?"
Jiang Bai: "???"
Seeing that Jiang Bai didn't speak, the deliveryman thought he hadn't taken enough and made a move to get a fifth box, saying, "Director Yu said it's all-you-can-eat! Absolutely all-you-can-eat!"
"Enough! Enough!"
Jiang Bai quickly took the four stacked lunch boxes and fled back to the lounge.
On the way back to the house, the image of Zhang Yan, the little devil in Jiang Bai's heart, resurfaced.
[Zhang Yan (worriedly): "The general seemed to have gone to get his food just now... I wonder if he'll be able to eat his fill?"]
"Not enough to eat?! An afternoon of pink bubbles is enough to fill him up!"
Jiang Bai laughed in anger and rushed to the lounge.
boom!
The lounge door was locked from the inside.
Jiang Bai ripped off her hair accessory, squatted on the chair without any regard for her image, and began violently dismantling the lunchbox.
Braised lion's head meatballs, stir-fried prawns, garlic ribs, and hand-torn cabbage.
Each box was almost overflowing.
"Tongzi, did Yu Zheng put something in my lunchbox? Why is he suddenly being so generous to me?"
[Ding! Based on behavioral logic, Yu Zheng wasn't just trying to ensure your stamina; he was also captivated by your "immersive, hard-working" charm. He saw in you a top-tier potential for online popularity called "gap moe" (a cute, unexpected charm).]
Jiang Bai snorted coldly and poked the lion's head meatball open with his chopsticks:
"Who cares? All I want to do right now is eat my fill and bankrupt Yu Zheng!"
He began to eat heartily, and the little devil in his heart was eating with him.
The first box.
Jiang Bai: "The lion's head meatballs are still the most satisfying. Zhou Yafu's gaze is even greasier than these lion's head meatballs."
[Zhang Yan, the villain: "You're not allowed to speak ill of the General! The General's affection is profound! Profound! If you're a lion's head meatball, the General is the finest white rice, gentle and refined like jade..."]
The second box.
Jiang Bai: "These ribs aren't cooked properly."
[Zhang Yan, the villain: "I wonder if the ribs in General Zhou's meal are ready? What if General Zhou gets an upset stomach? I really want to cook for General Zhou so that he won't eat bad food..."]
The third box.
Jiang Bai: "This afternoon was really tiring. I ate three boxes, but it felt like I didn't eat anything at all."
[Zhang Yan, the villain: "Yes, General Zhou..."]
Jiang Bai: "Damn it, Zhang Yan, shut up!"
"If you keep making noise, I'll wear white stockings tomorrow and perform a high kick in front of Zhou Yafu!"
[Zhang Yan, the villain (instantly falling silent): "...You win, you vulgar man."]
