Chapter 11: An Undelivered Love Letter
Proofread by Liang Yaping
Qiu Rong smiles and rolls up several pages of the script. She raises her hand to tap Song Qinghuan’s head gently and begins to explain the plot to her.
“When you look at the male model team, you are expected to show smiling eyes. When they talk about you, you’ve turned around and gone back to the piano room.”
“Okay, I got it.”
Qiu Rong nods and says, “Okay, take another shot of you coming from the avenue.”
Qiu Rong is strict with her work.
When Song Qinghuan is shooting, Xiang Yan, who is drinking water, pokes Xu Ningzhou’s arm, saying, “Do you know her?”This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Xu Ningzhou squints at Song Qinghuan who is shooting not far away.
Compared with the one who looked like a black rose with thorns at the banquet, now Song Qinghuan in the camera is a quiet girl who is good at piano. She wears blue and white school uniform with a pleated skirt covering her white straight legs. Her long black hair is combed into a high ponytail, and her delicate oval face and slender swan neck compose a gentle and intellectual beauty who is charming from every behavior.
Xu Ningzhou glances at Xiang Yan.
Spreading himself out on the chair, Xiang Yan raises his jaw toward Song Qinghuan, saying. “When you two looked at each other just now, there was a spark of love.”
Xu Ningzhou raises his head and drinks iced lemonade like a fish, saying, “I’ve seen Song Qinghuan before.”
“Well, another one surnamed Song,” says Xiang Yan in a tone of dissatisfaction. “Although she is more beautiful than the previous eye candies, I will fire her too if she cannot express what I want.
Xu Ningzhou shrugs his shoulders and suddenly laughs, saying with a determined and admiring tone: “No worry. She will surprise you.”
Xiang Yan looks at Xu Ningzhou with a frightened expression. He doubts whether his buddy has become a pod person. Such a Xu Ningzhou!
He even pays others compliments now!
After Song Qinghuan’s personal shot, the male model team comes into the camera again.
This scene tells Xiang Yan and his friends fall in love with the heroine at first sight on the basketball court. The male and female students on the outskirts of the court are applauding and cheering with their whistles.
And Song Qinghuan attracts everyone’s eyes, like a gentle wind to cool down the hot summer.
After this scene, the male models on the court are sweating like pigs, let alone Song Qinghuan who is on the edge of heatstroke. Fortunately, she only uses skin care products instead of makeup, so her face will not become messy.
The MV began filming before Song Qinghuan joined in, but several heroines have been rejected for various reasons.
This scene tells that Song Qinghuan is practicing playing the piano alone in the piano room and Xiang Yan and members of the male model team are sneaking around on the windowsill.
The beautiful scene takes place in the piano room of Q University. Song Qinghuan is required to play the music of ” Love Letters” which is so familiar to her that she can play it with her eyes closed.
So during the shooting, from treating her with picky eyes at first to delving into the story told by the music, Xiang Yan changes extremely in attitude towards Song Qinghuan.
Both lyrics and music are composed by Xiang Yan himself, so few people can resonate with him. Before her, there is a female leading actor who is a musician, but she can’t play to Xiang Yan’s satisfaction.
Willful as he is, Master Xiang fired her directly without more thought about post-production. Anyway, he is so rich that he can spend money willfully!
And when Song Qinghuan is playing, she also hums the tune of “Love Letters”. Qiu Rong told her that she can act for real in this part, and Song Qinghuan does so.
Looking at the girl sitting in front of the piano, Xu Ningzhou finds it is difficult to acknowledge that this person is the same as the angelic bitch in Song Shuyao’s mouth.
The light breeze is blowing one corner of the curtain of the piano room. The sunlight is gentle and warm, and peaceful as it is, the life is extraordinary.
“You can sing this song?” Xiang Yan is surprised that his song, which has not been released yet, can be hummed by Song Qinghuan with her eyes closed. There is no criticism in his eyes any more, instead Xiang Yan admires her a little more.
“Ka!” The interrupted Director Qiu points to Xiang Yan and says: “Don’t disturb! And you can take a rest first”.
Xiang Yan touches the tip of his nose with embarrassment and realizes that he is still shooting. Song Qinghuan is not annoyed by being disturbed. Instead, she looks up and smiles at him, saying, “Aunt Qiu gave me the music yesterday, and I keep it in my mind after practicing it several times.”
Xiang Yan jumps in from the windowsill with one hand, comes to the piano and asks her, “What do you think of this song?”
“Secret love,” Says Song Qinghuan, whose fingertips are still on the keys of the piano, ” is very sad.”
Her hands are white and slender, with neat and a little bit crimson nails. Compared with those girls who have painted their nails colorfully, Xiang Yan is totally satisfied with this pair of hands.
With an undelivered love letter and an unspoken confession, the love that sprouted in youth is bitter and sweet.
The last scene of MV is that when wind blows the silk curtain of the piano room, there are no laughing teenagers outside the open window. The white piano quietly rests in its original position. There is no girl on the piano stool who has tender smiling eyes and eyebrows.
On the keys is a love letter that has not been delivered.
At the end of filming, Xi Ze’s unexpected coming gives Song Qinghuan a big surprise. Xi Ze does not come empty-handed, but brings dessert to all cast. He pays the visit as a friend of Song Qinghuan. Nobody knows that this handsome boy is the director’s son.
“Why are you here?” Song Qinghuan stands up from the piano stool and sees Xi Ze waving to her with a smile outside the scene.
“I just come by and pick you up by the way.”
Xi Ze says, naturally stands beside Song Qinghuan and walks out with her, but before leaving, he glances at Xu Ningzhou and Xiang Yan who are not far away with complicated eyes.
Xu Ningzhou moves his eyes away from Song Qinghuan’s back. He looks at Xiang Yan and kicks him, saying, “Are you leaving?”
“Go, go, go!” He lifts his arm and holds Xu Ningzhou’s neck directly. It was out of his expectation that Xu Ningzhou, who is still so happy now, asked for a guest appearance in his MV.
