Chapter 72

The filming for the scene ended .

But the entire set remained silent, waiting for the late “Cut” from the director .

The moment Qiao Anhao’s fingers had caressed his face, Lu Jinnian’s whole body stiffened . If not for his strong self-control, he would not have been able to continue acting asleep and would’ve acted out of the norm .

When Qiao Anhao’s sorrowful voice asked ” Why can’t I be the one you love?”, he had clenched the fist he had positioned behind his body, away from the camera . When she had laid down on his chest, he could clearly hear his heart thumping rapidly, even his breathing became unstable . Afterwards, he had felt moisture on his shirt .

Was that her tears?

Lu Jinnian finally couldn’t resist himself, opening his eyes, staring straight into Qiao Anhao’s tear filled eyes and sorrowful expression .

Her expression was too real, to the point that he could have sworn those were her true feelings . Deep down, did she love him? So that she could act out the scene so realistically . . .

Lu Jinnian’s throat moved and his fingers lifted uncontrollably, wishing to wipe off the tears on her face .

In that instance, the director’s voice suddenly sounded, “Cut . “

The minute she heard the director’s voice, Qiao Anhao retrieved her sorrowful expression instantly . Not daring to stay on Lu Jinnian’s chest any longer, she moved away hurriedly .

Just like that, the hand that Lu Jinnian had lifted froze in the air . He stared at Qiao Anhao unwaveringly, studying her carefully . But he could no longer detect any trace of the sorrow and pain .

The Qiao Anhao out of the film didn’t even dare to look at Lu Jinnian, so how could she have noticed the slightly lifted hand? Only when she sneaked a peak in his direction did she realize that he was staring at her intently . Her heart thumped so rapidly it skipped a beat . Guiltily she said, “For the scene, I had some sudden inspiration . I’m sorry I didn’t inform you earlier . “

With that one line, Lu Jinnian clenched the hand he had lifted, and calm washed over him .

The truth yet again reminded him that he was dreaming . He was aware that he was dreaming yet he wanted to test the fact again and again, each time ending in his humiliation .

Lu Jinnian’s eyes dimmed in an instance ad he pushed away Qiao Anhao, who was still sitting beside him . Once his feet touched the ground, he headed for the resting area without sparing her a glance .
