Filming has entered its third week, and Chen Mo's scenes are nearing their end.

Today's scene is Donghua Dijun's farewell scene with Feng Jiu at the end of his tribulation in the mortal realm.

According to the script, Feng Jiu confessed her feelings with tears in her eyes, and Donghua Dijun remained silent before turning away.

An open ending foreshadows a future reunion in the celestial realm.

Before filming began, Lin Yufen specifically called the two of them together.

"This scene is very emotionally intense."

Holding the script, she said, "Feng Jiu knows that Donghua is leaving, and this farewell may be forever."

So you have to portray that feeling of despair mixed with a last glimmer of hope.

Donghua knows that he is a deity who has descended to earth to undergo tribulation and cannot fall in love, but he is torn by Fengjiu's true feelings.

That struggle should be subtle, but it cannot be absent.

"Understood, Director." Chen Mo nodded.

Dilraba also earnestly said, "I will try my best."

"All departments, prepare!"

After Lin Yufen sat back down on the monitor, she announced, "Scene 68 of 'Three Lives Three Worlds,' which is also the last scene of Donghua Dijun's mortal realm adventures. Everyone, cheer up!"

The stage manager claps the clapperboard.

Reba stood under the arched bridge in the ancient street, wearing a light pink cloth dress, her hair slightly disheveled by the wind.

Chen Mo walked over from a distance, still wearing the same coarse cloth clothes, but his temperament had already begun to resemble that of an immortal.

As the tribulation nears its end, the aura belonging to Emperor Donghua begins to return.

The two met under the bridge.

"Are you leaving?"

Reba opened her mouth, her voice very soft and trembling.

Chen Mo looked at her, said nothing, and simply nodded.

The phrase "[Eyes Full of Expression]" has been activated.

His eyes held guilt, reluctance, helplessness, and a faint emotion that even he himself didn't notice...

Dilraba saw all of this.

"Can't you... just not leave?"

Dilraba stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve, just like she had done when she confessed her feelings before.

"I know you are not an ordinary person, I know you have your mission..."

But I just want to ask you, all this time, haven't you felt even a little bit for me...?

She couldn't continue speaking, and tears fell from her eyes.

Chen Mo looked at her and remained silent for a long time.

In the script, he should push her hand away and then turn and leave.

But at this moment, seeing Dilraba's real tears rolling down her cheeks, and the desperate expectation in her eyes, Chen Mo suddenly felt that acting according to the script was too cruel.

It wasn't just cruel to Feng Jiu, it was cruel to Dilraba too.

He reached out, not to push her away, but to gently wipe away the tears on her face.

This action wasn't in the script.

Behind the monitor, Lin Yufen's eyes lit up, but she didn't call for a halt.

Dilraba was stunned.

She looked at Chen Mo, at this man who captivated her both on and off screen, at him gently wiping away her tears…

In that instant, the line between drama and reality blurred.

She is Feng Jiu, and she is also Dilraba.

He is Emperor Donghua, and also Chen Mo.

"sorry."

Chen Mo spoke, his voice low and deep, "But I have to go."

The line was from the script, but the heartache in his voice was his own.

Dilraba's tears flowed even more fiercely.

She looked at Chen Mo, at his deep eyes, at his slightly trembling lips as he said "I'm sorry"...

Then, she did something that surprised everyone in the room.

She stood on tiptoe and kissed him.

It wasn't a light touch; it was a deep kiss, a kiss delivered with all one's might.

Chen Mo was completely stunned.

But he didn't push him away.

This kiss is perfectly reasonable in the movie.

In despair, Feng Jiu used her last means to try and keep her beloved.

Off-screen as well... it makes perfect sense.

The two kissed in front of the camera, the setting sun shining obliquely through the bridge arch, gilding their silhouettes.

It's as beautiful as a painting.

Lin Yufen held her breath until the kiss ended. Reba released Chen Mo, tears silently streaming down her face. Chen Mo turned and walked away, never looking back.

"Card!"

Lin Yufen stood up excitedly, "Perfect! Absolutely perfect! This one is great!"

The audience erupted in applause.

Chen Mo walked back, and Reba was still standing there wiping away her tears.

"Just now..." Chen Mo began.

"sorry."

Dilraba interrupted, "I acted on impulse, so..."

"It's okay."

Chen Mo smiled and said, "The director said the effect was very good."

It's really good.

That impromptu kiss brought the emotional tension of this farewell scene to its peak.

Lin Yufen walked over and patted the two of them on the shoulders:

"Who suggested that kiss just now? It wasn't in the script."

"I……"

Dilraba lowered her head. "I'm sorry, director, I..."

"What are you apologizing for!"

Lin Yufen laughed and said, "That last desperate attempt to hold on with a kiss—it was brilliant! Reba, you kissed so well!"

Dilraba blushed and secretly glanced at Chen Mo.

"Alright, Chen Mo, your scenes are all finished!"

Lin Yufen announced.

A staff member came over with a bouquet of flowers and handed it to Chen Mo.

Congratulations on wrapping up filming!

Congratulations, Teacher Chen!

Applause erupted again.

Chen Mo accepted the flowers and bowed, saying, "Thank you, director, thank you all, and thank you to the entire crew. You've all worked so hard during this time."

It was a very official wrap-up speech, but he spoke sincerely.

Yang Mi walked over, also holding a bouquet of flowers: "Congratulations on wrapping up filming."

"Thank you, Sister Honey."

Their eyes met in mid-air, and Yang Mi's eyes were filled with a smile.

Chen Mo walked out of the photography studio, preparing to return to the hotel.

Footsteps sounded behind me; it was Dilraba.

"Chen Mo".

"Um?"

Congratulations on wrapping up filming.

Dilraba walked over, her eyes sparkling under the streetlights.

"Thank you, Reba."

Chen Mo nodded. "See you back in Beijing."

"Okay, see you in Beijing."

Dilraba smiled and waved.

……

Dilraba had just returned to her room when she received a message from Yang Mi: "Dilraba, come to my room and let's talk."

Dilraba's heart skipped a beat, wondering why Yang Mi wanted to see her.

She changed her clothes and went to Yang Mi's room.

Yang Mi had changed into her pajamas and was sitting on the sofa, holding a cup in her hand.

"Honey, you were looking for me?"

"sit."

Yang Mi pointed to the sofa opposite her, "You acted very well in today's scene."

"Thank you, Sister Honey."

"but……"

Yang Mi changed the subject, "Dilraba, I'll just say it straight."

Dilraba sat up straight and nodded: "Mhm."

"Don't let the drama develop into real feelings."

Yang Mi looked at her sharply, "Can you even tell whether your feelings for Chen Mo are like Feng Jiu's feelings for Donghua, or Dilraba's feelings for Chen Mo?"

Dilraba blushed: "I...I can tell the difference."

"Can you really tell the difference?"

Yang Mi took a sip of water. "That kiss you gave today wasn't in the script; you added it yourself."

Why add it?

Is it because you think that's something Feng Jiu would do, or because you want to kiss Chen Mo?

That was a very direct question, and Dilraba's face turned even redder.

"Sister Honey, I..."

"I don't want to see you get involved."

Yang Mi's tone softened a bit, "I wanted to remind you that Chen Mo is indeed good—handsome, a good actor, and has a great physique..."

When she said "has a good figure," her eyes flickered, but Dilraba didn't notice.

"But Dilraba, you're still young, and your career is on the rise. You need to be careful about relationships, especially those in the entertainment industry, which are often more complicated."

Dilraba bit her lip and didn't say anything.

"We'll see."

Yang Mi smiled and said, "The Donghua Emperor in the drama is so good, that's just a filter for the character."

The real Chen Mo may not be that good.

Do you know him?

Do you know what kind of person he is?

Dilraba raised her head, her eyes defiant: "I think he's great."

She said it very softly, but with great determination.

You think he's good because he saved you, or because he acted well in the play.

But these are all superficial. Men, especially handsome and capable men, have very complex minds.

"Chen Mo is not that kind of person."

Dilraba retorted, "He is very serious and upright."

Thinking back to that night in the room, Chen Mo pushed her away, telling her to think it over...

How could a man like that be bad?

Looking at her innocent expression, Yang Mi sighed inwardly.

Is he serious?

If you knew how he tormented me afterwards that day, you wouldn't say that. Those actions, she now thinks are absurd.

But she didn't say that.

"Alright."

Yang Mi put down her wine glass. "I was just reminding you. Go back and get some rest."

Dilraba stood up and nodded: "Thank you for your concern, Sister Honey."
