The next scene was in preparation and it was an explosion scene.
The demolition team was checking all the devices while the assistant director was watching closely on the side.

“Sister Yin, can you still shoot the next scene?” Chen Hua’en assistant ran over to ask her.

“Yes.” Liang Yin looked up and responded.
Her injury was simply trifling.

“Okay, then there’s still about 40 minutes of preparation time, do take a break first, Sister Yin.” Saying that, the assistant noted down in the notebook before leaving.

“En.” Liang Yin responded, then lowered her head to eat again.

Zhou Jianchen had gone to have his makeup done.
The next was their scene together.

The meal was gradually a little cold, and she had only eaten a few mouthfuls.

Swallowing the food in her mouth, Liang Yin put down her chopsticks and said to Xiao Tian, “Take it away.”

Though reluctant, Xiao Tian still did as she was told.

Liang Yin had her makeup touch up again.
After filming for a whole morning, her costume and makeup needed to be adjusted again.

By the time all was done, 20 minutes had passed.

“Jianchen, Yinyin, are you guys ready? I’ll give you guys a talk first when you’re ready.” In the distance, the martial arts director called out.

Liang Yin responded and turned her head.
Zhou Jianchen was walking over after having his makeup done and a change of clothes.

He didn’t respond as Sister Shao talked to him by the side.
But when he caught sight of her, he stopped in his tracks all of a sudden.
His eyes were still a little sunken and red, but he soon retracted his gaze and walked to the side.

Liang Yin deliberately slowed down a few steps and fell behind him.

Rong Xin, on the other hand, found a seat at the side.

Many people were already standing at the scene.
There is always danger during the explosion scene, thus all preparation must be in order.
The assistant director took great pains to remind the crowd of matters needing attention, while the martial arts director also repeated intensively the route the crowd would take during the filming later.

“The location of the explosion is the door on the second floor.
When everyone goes downstairs, Jianchen and Yinyin, you both will be the last.
Do remember, once you reach the bottom third step, it’s precisely here.
Both of you will lunge forward together when you reach here, and the explosives will explode behind you.
The demolition team has already rehearsed beforehand, so there is no major issue and you both only need to remember each of these points.” Saying that, the martial arts director then marked down several key locations.

Liang Yin seriously took note of it while Zhou Jianchen had no response.
Although the two people stood together, there was no communication at all.

Sensing it somewhat, Liang Yin was merely silent.

Chen Hua’en then opened his mouth after the martial arts director was done, “Let’s go through it once, and we’ll try to strive for one take later.”

Everyone got ready once the director had given the instructions.

Zhou Jianchen had gone up to the second floor, so Liang Yin followed too.

This was a theater where a senior official of the Nationalist Party celebrated his birthday.
Zhou Zhaozong was up there watching an opera, and Xu Mengbai, played by Liang Yin, was also invited.
Suddenly there was a tip about an ambush in the theater and everyone was thrown into utter confusion.
Liang Yin was a step behind in order to cover the comrades she was meeting.
When Zhou Zhaozong noticed her, he pulled her to flee together.

At that time, although Zhou Zhaozong already suspected that Xu Mengbai was that ‘secret agent’, his mindset had already swerved in wake of several dealings.

This scene was also the first time in the entire movie where Zhou Zhaozong revealed a different emotion towards Xu Mengbai.

Zhou Jianchen stood at the designated point and Liang Yin walked to his side.

The martial arts director kept pace and instructed, “Later, Zhou Zhaozong pulled Xu Mengbai’s hand and ran downstairs.
Someone will open a shot on the other side, you’ll need to act the dodging bullet action.
When you reach the top of the stairs, someone will shout ‘there’s a bomb’, Jianchen, you will to rush down with Yinyin.
Once you reach here, the explosive will explode.
At that time, Jianchen, you will pull Yinyin and pounce down on this mat … “

The martial arts director said as he walked and demonstrated at the same time.
He only stood up again once both of them had no more questions, “Then you guys go through once, and we will start shooting immediately if there is no problem.”

Liang Yin nodded and followed Zhou Jianchen upstairs again.
This time no one else followed.

There were only two people left when they reached the second floor.

Zhou Jianchen stood there and Liang Yin also stood by his side, and no one moved.

“”

“Let’s start!” Downstairs, the assistant director shouted again, and their preparation was in order.

Hearing that, Liang Yin turned her head sideways and said softly, “Let’s begin.”

Zhou Jianchen didn’t respond, but he ultimately reached out to hold her hand after a long while.

Liang Yin’s heart then fluttered momentarily.

At the beginning of this scene, it was Zhou Zhaozong who ‘pulled’ Xu Mengbai to flee.

She thought he would skip this step during the rehearsal.

“Let’s begin.” Zhou Jianchen replied too, but his voice was a bit hoarse.
Turning his head, his eyes were slightly red and her hand was still so cold, but he dared not grip it tightly anymore.

Liang Yin acknowledged while Zhou Jianchen paused, before he pulled her and started running up the corridor.

Liang Yin’s hand twitched instantly, as Zhou Jianchen happened to grasp her wound when he ran and she felt a burst of pain.
But soon, she just endured and plunged into her role.

Zhou Jianchen, however, loosened his grip, as if sensing her pain.

“I’m going downstairs.” He spoke again after passing the corridor and was about to go down the stairs.

“En.” Liang Yin responded and followed in his footsteps.

Going down the flight of steps, the martial arts director shouted again when they reached the part, “Watch out to lunge!”

Liang Yin got ready after hearing that.
Zhou Jianchen also sped up his pace then pulled her along and lunged together towards the mat.

“Demolition team!” The martial arts director shouted once, and the demolition team then pressed the button once they got the instruction.

The explosion didn’t go off since the demolition team didn’t really press it.
Everything was just a rehearsal, but the martial arts director had already clapped his hands, “Okay, just perform as such!”

Zhou Jianchen was on mark in his positioning while Liang Yin coordinated precisely, and everything was within the ideal radius.

The two people on the mat, however, didn’t move for a moment.

In the scene, Zhou Zhaozong was afraid that Xu Mengbai would be knocked down, hence he embraced her and lay prone, and now Zhou Jianchen was holding her in his arms.

When Liang Yin raised her head, it was his chest and she could smell his faint scent, and even hear his heartbeats.

Zhou Jianchen was hugging her a little tightly, but he loosened his embrace soon, then turned around and stood up, hiding all his emotions.

Liang Yin was also pulled up, and everything was over again.

Chen Hua’en then spoke up after making sure, “Then get ready to shoot.”

Hearing that, everyone got into position.
Liang Yin took off her jacket and handed it to Xiao Tian.
The bandage on her hand was taken off too.

“Yinyin, why did you remove it?” Seeing that, Du Yafu asked.

Getting grasped just now, blood oozed out from her wound again.

Liang Yin smiled, “It will blunder the scene in the camera later.”

“How big a deal is that.” Du Yafu disapproved.

“It’s okay.” Liang Yin said and let the medical staff on the side to help handle it.
Director Chen’s requirements have always been meticulous and it’s unworthy to re-shoot again for such a small flaw.

The white bandage couldn’t be visible, and the wound naturally shouldn’t be seen too.

The medical staff put another layer of medication and the makeup team tried to cover the wound with powder when Zhou Jianchen walked over from the side suddenly.

Liang Yin raised her head and Zhou Jianchen, however, tore a Band-Aid from the medical kit and pulled her hand over to put it on her.

His jaw twitched with visible pain.

“That’s it.” After sticking it, he spoke, then put her hand down and walked away.

That dark red wound pierced his heart as it fell in his eyes.

He wanted to ignore it, but he still felt distressed.

Watching him go upstairs, Liang Yin lowered her head and felt a little tinged around the rims of her eyes.

“That’s it.
It’s fine once the camera steers clear a little when the moment comes.” Chen Hua’en said so seeing that.

“En.” Liang Yin responded and also walked upstairs once all was done.

Zhou Jianchen was already standing there.
He gazed at her profoundly when he saw her coming up, then turned his head away again.
Liang Yin just stood next to him, waiting for the scene to begin.

Time seemed to pass very slowly.
In silence, the two people, with one head bowed while the other turned the head sideways, one second was like a year.

When the voice of start shooting finally came from downstairs, Zhou Jianchen pulled her to flee again.

At the end of the corridor, someone shot at him.
He dodged and shot back, then pulled Liang Yin behind his back.
Liang Yin followed, seemingly panic-stricken yet her eyes were full of composure.
Looking at ‘Zhou Zhaozong’ in front of her, there was a slight bewilderment in her eyes.

Running to the top of the stairs, Zhou Zhaozong kicked away the person who came to stop him.
Someone on the side shouted “There’s a bomb”, Zhou Zhaozong looked back and saw a bomb thrown out upstairs at some point.
Eyes filled with apprehension, he descended the stairs quickly, but it was too late.
Seeing that the bomb was about to explode soon, he anxiously protected Xu Mengbai and lunged down.

“Boom __ “ The bomb exploded and shattered pieces of wood flitted by, yet Zhou Zhaozong had Xu Mengbai shielded tightly in his arms.

“CUT!” Chen Hua’en shouted to stop.

The entire scene was done in one go.

Everyone started to move again and Zhou Jianchen pulled Liang Yin up too.
His eyes became sorrowful again and all the affection was short-lived.

“Jianchen! Watch out!” At this moment, the director of photography by the side suddenly shouted out loudly.

“The light! The light!”

“Get out of the way! Get out of the way!” Others yelled out too.

Zhou Jianchen looked up and saw that the originally suspended chandelier had slipped off the hook and was dropping down on their heads.

That was a dazzling crystal chandelier, but Zhou Jianchen had no time to appreciate it.
Seeing that it was about to smash down, it was too late to push Liang Yin away.
Hence, he stepped forward and bent over to embrace her into his arms.
Reaching his hands out, he lowered his head to protect her head tightly.

“Crash __ “ The crystal chandelier smashed down on his neck and hit the ground, shattering into countless bits in an instant.

Liang Yin only heard a muffled grunt.
Raising her head, Zhou Jianchen’s face was deathly pale and blood oozed out from his neck.

“Zhou Jianchen!” Liang Yin was flustered at once, and the others had already rushed over.

“Jianchen!”

“Brother Chen!”
