The actor who was acting as the teacher was at a loss for words. He kept pointing at Yuan Shu and said, “You… you… don’t think that just because you are the daughter of the general, you can disrespect your teacher. Stand there as punishment!”

Mu Zhou’s gaze darkened as he stared fixedly at Yuan Shu. There was a flash of surprise in his dark brown eyes, but he suppressed it and finished acting according to the script.

Yuan Shu was still in a daze when the director shouted, “Cut!” She had no idea why she said these words.

Wang Shen asked the two of them to go over and watch the replay. He couldn’t help but praise Yuan Shu. “Yuan Shu, you’re simply made for this movie! From your every action, expression, and aura when you say your lines, you’re simply Tang Yi herself!”

Wang Shen stopped looking at the screen and turned to look at Yuan Shu. “How did you think of this line? Why didn’t you follow the script?”

Yuan Shu was stunned. Even she didn’t understand this. “I… 1 don’t know.”

The scene seemed to flash across Yuan Shu’s mind at that time and she subconsciously said the lines in her mind. Every sentence gave her a sense of deja vu.

Wang Shen didn’t ask further. “It doesn’t matter. It’s better this way. It will make this scene seem more natural. 1 think this scene can be used in the main film!”

Satisfied, Wang Shen instructed the assistant director to save this scene and continued, “I was originally worried that Yuan Shu wouldn’t be able to get into character, but from today’s situation, there’s no problem at all! Why don’t we bring the filming time forward? 1’11 give you another week to prepare. We’ll officially start filming in a week.”

Yuan Shu nodded. Anyway, she had nothing to do recently, so the change in the filming schedule didn’t affect her.

Shi Lu sighed when he heard this. His leisure days were over. He was going to enter the production team to film again. However, it was better than facing Shi Xiao at home every day. He felt that with Shi Xiao in the house, even the temperature seemed to have dropped a few degrees!

After hearing the director nag about this scene, Shi Lu said to Yuan Shu, “Sister-in-law, 1 still have an advertisement to film recently, so I won’t be going home for the next two days. Brother said that he will pick you up later, so I’ll leave first.”

Yuan Shu said goodbye to him. Then, Shi Lu and Zhang Chao returned to their camper van.

Mu Zhou accompanied Yuan Shu back to the dressing room to remove her makeup. On the way back, Yuan Shu couldn’t help but look at Mu Zhou.

The character he was playing now was someone from the military camp. Logically speaking, he should have tied up all his hair and worn armor. Perhaps because the role he was playing was still a teenager, there were still strands of hair on his forehead that hung down to the length of his eyebrows. Half of his hair was tied up, and the other half was let down. He was wearing rough linen clothes without any armor.

However, this ancient outfit suited him very well and made him look scholarly, which suited his status as a literary scholar in the later stages of the plot.

Mu Zhou noticed Yuan Shu’s gaze and smiled gently. “Why are you staring at me? Is there something dirty on my face?”

Only then did Yuan Shu realize that she had been staring at him the entire way. Without feeling awkward, she retracted her gaze and looked ahead. Then, she shook her head gently.

When they were about to reach the dressing room, Yuan Shu suddenly asked, “Mu Zhou, have we met somewhere before?”

Mu Zhou was puzzled. “We had a few words in Lakeside Park. Have you forgotten? At that time, I introduced myself to you and asked for your name, but you didn’t tell me.”

Speaking of the past, Mu Zhou actually felt a little shy and embarrassed.

Yuan Shu didn’t notice his expression and asked seriously, “I mean, did we meet before the meeting at Lakeside Park?”

Mu Zhou sensed that something was wrong with Yuan Shu, so he didn’t answer her. Instead, he asked with concern, “Yuan Shu, what’s wrong with you today? You’ve been acting strange since before the audition. Are you feeling unwell?”

Yuan Shu shook her head with a disappointed expression. “I just feel that you seem very familiar, like a friend I’ve known for a long time, but I really can’t remember who it is..”
