BE Crazy Demon Survival System [Quick Transmigration]Ch15 - The Peak of Competition Between Beauty and Acting Skills (15)

Their break ended, so they could only leave their discussion on ‘soft or not’ like this.

Although Xu Qichen was in a good mood today and the filming progress was decent, due to a serious lack of sleep, his eyelids started to droop the moment the sky darkened. rRBh5t

He could only ask Xiaoxiao to buy more coffee and poured it all into his stomach.

The final result was…

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

An upset stomach.

This kiss scene actually directly followed last night’s scene where Yu Ning ran to Nan Ke’s apartment. Z2EwcX

The director brought Lin Ran and Xu Qichen to the apartment.

“Nan Ke, Yu Ning, when you enter later,” Director Chen held Xu Qichen up and gestured at Lin Ran, “you, help Yu Ning walk like this and bring him into the room.”

After entering the room, Director Chen pointed at the bay window. “Go there, make a pose, let me take a look at the lighting and composition. Let’s try doing this scene without extra lighting for now, we’ll just use the moonlight. If it’s not bright enough, we’ll ask the gaffer to hang a cold light outside.”

Lin Ran and Xu Qichen got onto the bed as instructed by the director. In accordance with the script, Xu Qichen climbed onto the bed and sat up halfway, while Lin Ran sat on the side of the bed. The bay window was right beside the bed, moonlight shone in through the glass, onto the two of them.

“Good, very good, this light is very good.” Director Chen observed from behind the monitor.

“Yu Ning, lean back a bit, good. Nan Ke, circle him with both arms. Yu Ning turn a little, show three quarters of your face, we’ll zoom in on your eyes.”

The two listened to the instructions and constantly adjusted their posture.

In the beginning, Xu Qichen felt very awkward, but Director Chen’s professional attitude helped him rid the anxiety. Lin Ran’s expressions were also very serious and he repeatedly discussed details with the director. b B2Pz

“That’s about it, let’s start.”

“Scene 13, Take 1, Action!”

“Pa!”

Nan Ke helped Yu Ning into the apartment and kicked the door shut. He felt around for the light switch and switched it on, but nothing happened. He tried a few more times, but there was still no light. “Seems like there’s a blackout, I’ll help you to the bed first ba.” dAa xV

Yu Ning hummed quietly, his entire weight resting on Nan Ke weakly.

With much effort, Nan Ke helped him to the bedside. Yu Ning weakly collapsed on the bed. Nan Ke’s bed was not very soft, but it was filled with his smell, the faint scent of a certain laundry detergent.

Xu Qichen thought he was pretty unlucky. Yesterday, when filming the previous scene, he had felt weak because he didn’t eat much and coincidentally produced the effect the director wanted. Today, he consciously ate more at dinner, so he thought he wouldn’t be able to do well and his acting wouldn’t match the previous scene’s.

But in the end, he drank too much coffee and now his stomach was aching once again. 6USeLR

Their foreheads touched.

The camera couldn’t capture it, but Xu Qichen clearly saw the subtle change in Lin Ran’s gaze when their foreheads touched.

There was a thin layer of cold sweat on his forehead that was not a product of acting. ulykI8

“You have a fever.” Lin Ran continued saying the lines as Nan Ke.

Yu Ning turned his head away, looking out of the window.

“I should have some fever medicine, I’ll look for it.” Nan Ke left the room.

Yu Ning lifted his hand and slid it over his forehead lightly, then put it back on the dark blue bed sheet, stroking the lines on it. The moonlight shone on his face, intertwining, light with dark. izCfbF

Nan Ke came back holding a cup of milk and a white pill.

Yu Ning, who was leaning against the wall, suddenly spoke, “I really like to read Camus.”

Xu Qichen’s breathing was somewhat unstable. When he spoke his lines, he sounded like he was sighing. “In A Happy Death, he wrote: ‘As often happens, what was best in his life had crystallized around what was worst.’”

Yu Ning looked at Nan Ke with a subtle pain in his eyes. b82Xoj

“I couldn’t understand it before, but I do now. One day, you realise that you’ve encountered the wonder you long for, yet at the same time, the cruel reality of being unable to have it will inevitably make you unable to accept this truth.”

Nan Ke put the milk on the bedside table. “What a coincidence, I also like Camus. But rather than that line, I much prefer another one.”

Moonlight shone through his eyes without hesitation.

“To love someone whom one will never see again is to give a cry of exultation as one perishes in the flames of passion. One lives only in and for this moment.” pdbHm4

Lin Ran’s smile was so gentle that it made others unable to look away.

Xu Qichen paused, his mind blank.

“Cut!” Director Chen’s shout was like a wake-up slap.

“Sorry, sorry, I spaced out…” g1l8cu

Director Chen sighed: “Don’t think too much, okay? Empty your mind, you’re not Ji Mengze, you’re Yu Ning. He’s your ‘love at first sight’ crush. When you hear him give hints like that, it should be like breaking a dam breaking. You restrained yourself before, but at this moment, it should all break out, understand?”

“Have you ever had a crush on someone? Think of that feeling.”

Director Chen’s last words reminded Xu Qichen of many scenes that had been under the cover of dust for many years. A subtle kind of pain faintly surged out, and he couldn’t tell whether it came from his stomach or his heart.

“Take a moment to foster that feeling. Nan Ke, start from that last line later. I won’t direct the kiss scene, we can only get the best effect if you improvise. If it really doesn’t work, then we’ll discuss it.” NWK E2

“Okay.”

Two minutes later, “Scene 13, take 2, Action!”

“Pa!”

Nan Ke was right in front of him and on his face was the gentlest smile of unoppressive acceptance. R6kY3c

“To love someone whom one will never see again is to give a cry of exultation as one perishes in the flames of passion. One lives only in and for this moment.”

Xu Qichen’s hands were shaking.

In this instant, the Yu Ning who was willing to perish in pursuit of light and warmth, finally became one with his own cowardly self.

Because he knew it wasn’t real, he could pluck up the courage. czhUKv

And just like that, he threw himself into the arms of the person in front of him. His hands, trembling uncontrollably, tightly grabbed his waist and kissed him unhesitantly.

Lin Ran responded after only a moment with even greater enthusiasm. Xu Qichen’s skin radiated a seductive heat, as if the blood in his veins had long been boiling. Their lips and teeth collided even more fiercely, while the extreme softness stirred and rolled. From their breathing to their pulse, everything was a mess.

Xu Qichen felt like his heart no longer belonged to him.

The surroundings were so quiet that only the gasping sounds of their fierce exchange could be heard, intermixed with the occasional sounds of water and faint whimpers. cCFtam

The kiss kept getting deeper and deeper, bringing a strong sense of suffocation with it. Xu Qichen felt like he could no longer breathe.

Lin Ran finally loosened his hold. Xu Qichen rested his head on his shoulder, and like a dying fish, greedily seeked oxygen; his slightly swollen lips closing and opening weakly.

In his haze, he felt a pair of hands softly pat his back. Fingers slowly combed his hair, from the roots to the tips, like a gentle wind.

Like a dragonfly skimming the surface of water, that person lightly kissed his forehead near the hairline, the back of his head, and his nape. 74CdgY

Time seemed to hold still until Chen Anping yelled ‘Cut’.

“Very good, this scene is a pass.”

Xu Qichen very actively removed himself from Lin Ran. Although he hadn’t fully extricated himself from the kiss, he still dragged his body far away and leant on the wall.

In this situation, telling a joke can quickly resolve the awkwardness of the atmosphere. But he couldn’t, and neither did Lin Ran. vPLt2d

He felt uncomfortable, both mentally and physically.

Fortunately, Director Chen called ‘cut’ at the right time. It would really be awkward if he had delayed any further.

Xu Qichen very seldom makes a fuss about anything, but right at this moment, an inexplicable competitiveness surged up inside him.

He asked: “0901, did Lin Ran have any peculiar reaction?” UBjLGQ

0901 said emotionlessly: “Mr. Xu, you can observe it yourself.”

The staff had already begun moving. Xu Qichen watched Lin Ran leave the room. “… I’m willing to pay some points, as long as I can afford it.”

0901: “If you insist, please pay 3000 points.”

Originally he had thought that the points were being given very freely these days, and had the beautiful illusion of ‘the serf becoming the boss’. He didn’t expect that the moment of hand chopping would come so soon. sdq9KL

Xu Qichen gritted his teeth and selected the option to pay. The numbers on the interface rolled, changing from 3500 to 500.

Back to square one, overnight.

Xu Qichen felt a little depressed but he was also eagerly anticipating the answer. “Go on.”

0901 was as emotionless as ever: “Mr. Xu, Lin Ran’s reaction was stronger than yours. He has gone to the washroom.” 8y0OSo

Xu Qichen was stunned upon hearing the answer.

It’s a little embarrassing, but he still felt a little bit happy.

  1. Ohoho Lin Ran~ What will happen if you guys got together and did it for real… Im surprised with your self control ehehehe <( ̄︶ ̄)>

  2. A hint of his (their) past! Poor Xu Qichen, who never seems to dare believe in having anything… I’m glad the scene went well for him, though! The description of his shaking hands really hurt my heart, but I can just imagine how awesome these scenes are going to look in the completed film. Anyway, somehow that ending made me laugh, their relationship has such a silly aspect to it sometimes. They’re cute, I can’t wait to see them happy. (Also suddenly thinking of the ML reading Xu Qichen’s stories and getting more and more frustrated every time, why does he never let them be happy, why does he always think the ML would not love the MC, imagine feeling like you know where he’s getting these ideas and getting more and more upset with how differently things would go if Xu Qichen would let it… I don’t even know if that’s relevant at all to this story but I had the thought and couldn’t get it out of my head haha)

    Thank you so much for translating! <3

  3. 3000 points is a necessary expense for the socially awkward, ok? normal observation usually leads to dumb misunderstandings.

    still, this is hilarious. x’D
