Roman Holiday 3

The first scene to be filmed today was the one where the hero and heroine fall in love.

After breakfast, Lu Yan took Su Mo directly to the shooting site, called Song Hui and told him to take good care of the people. Su Mo smiled at him and said, “You go and do your work. I can take care of myself.”

Lu Yan hummed, secretly pinched his palm, and walked away.

Su Mo tried his best to stay in a place where he would not be noticed by others. He watched Lu Yan smiling and greeting people along the way. Everyone he met was respectful and friendly to him. This man was really charming. Su Mo could not help but curl the corners of his lips slightly.

Soon the male and female protagonists had their makeup done, the lighting, photography, props and script supervisor were all in place, and the male and female protagonists also took their positions, waiting for the director’s order.

Su Mo thought filming was quite interesting. One moment you may be calm and composed, but the next moment you may go crazy due to the requirements of the script. The switching between roles happens in and out of the camera.

Su Mo’s position was facing Lu Yan, so he could clearly see Lu Yan’s movements and expressions.

Lu Yan was very relaxed at first, with a faint smile on his lips. Su Mo seemed to feel his eyes glancing over here intentionally or unintentionally, wondering if he saw him standing here.

As soon as the director said “Action”, Lu Yan’s expression changed immediately. He was excited but also a little nervous. His nervousness contained excitement, and he was also a little hesitant and apprehensive, just like all young men who are just beginning to fall in love.  Lu Yan’s fingers hanging on both sides of his body opened and closed slightly, and then unconsciously tightened. At this moment, his eyes were only on the girl standing in front of him with her head lowered. He moved his lips, with expectation, and mustered up the courage, “Yu Jin, I like you, are you willing to be with me?”

The girl didn’t answer, didn’t nod or shake her head. The silence made Lu Yan look a little anxious and confused. It was obvious that she liked him too. He licked his lips and asked again tentatively, “Yu Jin?”

This time the girl nodded quickly and whispered, “Me too, I do.”

Su Mo couldn’t see the expression of the actress who had her back to him, but he clearly saw Lu Yan’s eyes light up instantly, his pupils dilated slightly, revealing a big, happy smile.

Su Mo heard his heart “thump” and then beat rapidly. This man had a greater influence on him than he had imagined. His every move, every frown and every smile could easily affect his mood.

Su Mo had never seen Lu Yan show such an expression in front of him. He was always calm, composed and elegant. Even when he decided to be together, he had never been so excited.

At this time, Lu Yan’s hands were already pressed on the heroine’s shoulders a little nervously. He slowly lowered his head, closed his eyes slightly, and his long eyelashes seemed to tremble a little uneasily. Gradually, the two faces got closer and closer, until they stopped at a subtle angle.

Although he didn’t see it directly, Su Mo knew they were kissing. Wasn’t this very natural? Men and women who have just confirmed their feelings for each other will always want to do something more intimate to prove that it was not just a dream.

Su Mo held his breath, his facial expression was frozen, he felt his heartbeat was a little abnormal, an emotion he had never experienced before surged into his heart. From the beginning of the filming, Lu Yan’s eyes never strayed away, as if he was fixed on the heroine.

Su Mo suddenly turned around and didn’t want to look anymore, and walked out with big strides.

Song Hui, who had been standing beside him, hurried over and called out in a low voice with some uneasiness, “Director Su?”

Su Mo didn’t even turn his head and said, “I’m going to take a walk over there, you don’t have to follow me.”

Song Hui had no choice but to stop and looked back at the hero and heroine who were still hugging each other, as if thinking about something.

Lu Yan was in a particularly good mood today. Before the filming started, he knew that Su Mo was watching from the opposite side, and he glanced at him a few more times intentionally or unintentionally. Thinking about the content of this scene, he was looking forward to it, wondering if he would have any reaction after watching it.

After filming began, Lu Yan immediately adjusted his mood and immersed himself in Ji Feng’s world. His acting skills were now very mature, and he didn’t need to look at or think about anything to get into the mood, but he couldn’t deny that being looked at by Su Mo like this made him feel particularly excited.

Lu Yan was completely absorbed in the filming. When the filming was over, he looked back at the place he had just been looking forward to, but the person he was expecting was no longer there.

Lu Yan frowned slightly, said something to the director, and walked towards Song Hui.

“Where is he?” Lu Yan asked in a low voice when he arrived in front of Song Hui.

Song Hui pointed in the direction Su Mo had just left, “He went that way.”

Lu Yan nodded and prepared to follow.

Song Hui whispered again, “Brother Lu, Director Su doesn’t seem very happy.” As he spoke, he looked in the direction of Tian Yue, and his meaning was very obvious.

Lu Yan smiled and patted his shoulder, “Don’t worry.”

When Lu Yan found Su Mo, he was leaning against a tree in deep thought. The trunk of the tree was so thick that one couldn’t see anyone there from the back.

Lu Yan didn’t beat around the bush and went straight to the point, “Song Hui said you didn’t seem very happy. What’s wrong?”

Su Mo shook his head. “Nothing.”

Lu Yan said nothing, just stared at him seriously.

Su Mo sighed, stood up straight, and looked back at Lu Yan, “I am indeed a little unhappy. I know this is your job, and I thought I shouldn’t mind. But, seeing you kissing someone else, I still feel a little sad and uncomfortable.”

“I’m sorry,” Su Mo lowered his head, “I shouldn’t care about your work.”

Lu Yan gently lifted his chin so that he could see his expression clearly. There was a smile in his eyes and face. “No need to apologize. You care because you have me in your heart. You love me, and I am very happy. If you didn’t react at all, I would feel sad.”

Lu Yan held his face with both hands and pressed him against the tree trunk, forehead to forehead. He spoke in a low voice with a hint of cruelty, “Because if I just imagine you kissing someone else, I will want to kill someone.”

Su Mo looked up at him and said seriously, “I never will.”

“Sorry, I can’t give you the same promise.” Lu Yan sighed.

“Don’t be sorry,” Su Mo reached out and stroked the back of his neck, “This is your job, I understand.”

Although he would mind, he still expressed understanding. This was Su Mo.

Lu Yan kissed his lips in this position. As they were rubbing against each other, Su Mo suddenly pushed him away and frowned, “It smells like strawberry.”

“Ah,” Lu Yan smiled, “I’m so sorry, I always rinse my mouth carefully. I was in a hurry to come to you just now and didn’t have time. Then, please help me disinfect it, so that I can only keep your smell.” The last sentence was almost spoken against the eardrum, light and warm.

Su Mo bit his lips without hesitation, brushing his lips over and over again, leaving no place untouched. This somewhat childish action made Lu Yan couldn’t help but laugh softly, but because his mouth was covered, he couldn’t make any sound, and the low hoarse sound began to vibrate from his chest to his throat. After brushing the lips, the tongue slipped in. This time Lu Yan did not let it go. He quickly took the initiative and pulled the other’s tongue to play with it in his mouth.

As they kissed, their bodies pressed together. Su Mo was completely trapped between Lu Yan and the tree trunk, unable to move except for his head.

Just when the situation was getting awkward, Song Hui suddenly raised his voice and called out, “Director Li, why are you here?”

The two were startled and quickly separated. They looked at each other, both feeling amused and relieved. In their excitement, they forgot that this was not a place to be unrestrained. Fortunately, Song Hui was smart and saw that the two people were coming. He stood in front and watched. When someone came, he spoke loudly to remind them.

The two of them quickly tidied up their messy clothes and calmed down their breathing. When they looked completely normal, they walked out one after the other.

Just as they could see the silhouette, they heard Li Shihong saying, “Where is Lu Yan? There is something that needs to be changed in the next scene. I need to talk to him.”

Lu Yan just took over the conversation, “Director Li, I’m here, is there anything you want to change?”

“That’s it,” Li Shihong was about to say, but when she turned around and saw the two people walking towards her, one in front and one behind, her eyes fixed on Su Mo.

Lu Yan was surprised. Was he recognized? Although Su Mo always kept a low profile, he was not completely invisible. When he founded Starry Sky, he also had some dealings with some people in the film industry.

Li Shihong frowned secretly, she always felt that this man was a little familiar, but she couldn’t remember where she had seen him. If she had seen such an outstanding man, she would definitely not forget him. Maybe it was just an illusion.

Thinking of this, Li Shihong felt relieved. Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind, so she asked Lu Yan, “Who is this?”

Lu Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that he didn’t recognize him, he smiled and said, “A friend of mine happened to be on a business trip nearby, so he came to see me.”

Su Mo nodded politely to Li Shihong, “Hello.”

“What’s this friend’s name?”

“My last name is Su.” Su Mo replied, without saying his name out of courtesy.

“Hello, Mr. Su.” Li Shihong extended her hand.

“Hello.” Su Mo responded again and shook her hand politely.

Li Shihong was also a straightforward person, and she said directly, “Mr. Su probably knows that we are currently filming a movie, and there is a shot that requires an outstanding person like Mr. Su to appear on camera. I wonder if you can help me with this?”

Li Shihong was very polite in what she said, and most people would not refuse the opportunity to be in a movie.

But Su Mo was not an ordinary person, so he smiled apologetically and said, “Thank you very much for your invitation, but I’m sorry, I can’t act.”

“You don’t need to know how to act, it’s just a shot.” Li Shihong did not give up.

Su Mo was about to say something else, but Lu Yan had already rejected it for him, “Director Li, I’m afraid it’s still not possible. My friend is not very convenient to appear on camera.”

Li Shihong understood instantly that it seemed that Mr. Su’s identity was not simple. Also, he looked very elegant and had a strong aura, unlike an ordinary white-collar worker or senior worker. But she still insisted, “So, if you don’t show your face, but only your back, is that okay?”

The two looked at each other. It was hard for them to refuse since Director Li insisted so much. Moreover, Su Mo thought that this might be the only chance for him to appear in the same movie with Lu Yan, even though it was just a back view. So he nodded, “Okay then.”

After finishing the morning scenes, Lu Yan asked Director Li for leave. Since Li Shihong had already met Su Mo, he told the truth that it was a rare opportunity for his friend to visit him, and he wanted to take some time to spend with him. He hoped that Director Li would grant him leave.

Li Shihong had a good impression of the gentle and polite Su Mo, not to mention that he had just helped her. In addition, the filming progress during this period was actually faster than expected, so she simply gave Lu Yan half a day off and prepared to shoot the heroine’s solo scenes first.

At noon, the two of them did not go to pick up the crew’s lunch boxes. Lu Yan borrowed a car from the crew, went to a nearby supermarket to buy some things, and cooked a meal for Su Mo in his own cabin. Because it was difficult to buy Chinese food ingredients here, he bought some pasta, fried two plates of pasta using Chinese methods, and stewed a pot of tomato, potato and beef soup, which tasted delicious.

After taking a break at noon, Lu Yan went out at about 3:00 p.m. Not long after, a bell rang at the door. Su Mo opened the door and was a little surprised. “Where did this come from?”

Lu Yan was pushing a bicycle, the kind with only a front handlebar but no rear seat. The ringtone just now was the ringtone of the bicycle.

Lu Yan smiled and said, “These are props rented by the crew. They are not needed today, so I borrowed them. Come, get on, I’ll take you for a ride. The scenery around here is nice, and the air is fresh, which is hard to enjoy in China.”

Su Mo looked at the bicycle without a back seat and asked, “How do I sit on it?”

Sure enough, Lu Yan patted the front pole and said with a smile, “You sit here.”

Su Mo was a little embarrassed, “Can it be done?” He had never ridden a bicycle since he was a child, nor had he sat on the back seat of someone else, let alone the front seat.

Lu Yan tilted his head and jokingly asked, “Do you not believe in your weight, or do you not believe in my skills?”

Su Mo was still a little hesitant, but Lu Yan had already pulled him over and pushed him onto the front pole, “Try it. I want to take you for a ride this way.”

Su Mo no longer hesitated.

Although Su Mo was thin, he was an adult man after all. With his height and frame, he certainly could not compare with petite and soft women. He was trapped between the front and the seat by Lu Yan’s two hands, and was squeezed very tightly. In order not to block Lu Yan’s view, he had to shrink his body. To be honest, it was very uncomfortable.

But this predicament also gave him a strange feeling, too embarrassing, but also a little sweet. But he was still a little worried, “What if someone sees it?” In this posture, no one would believe that they were good friends.

Lu Yan smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter. We just need to avoid the crew. They can’t leave because they have to shoot in the afternoon. As for the others, if they see us, it doesn’t matter. They don’t know us anyway.”

“Hold on tight, I’m going to start.” Lu Yan said, and kicked his long legs on the ground, with both feet on the pedals. The weight difference between the front and the back was too great, and in the beginning, the inertia had not been established, so the front of the car tilted, and Su Mo was also dragged backwards. Lu Yan held him and ordered, “Hold my waist.”

Su Mo huddled up and hugged his waist tightly.

Lu Yan’s skills were as good as he said. He quickly stabilized the bike and started riding smoothly.

The suburban roads here were very flat, without too many ups and downs. Even if he was carrying one person, it was not difficult to ride due to inertia.

Soon, Su Mo felt waves of comfortable natural breeze blowing past him, causing his hair and clothes to flutter in the wind.

Su Mo wanted to move but was afraid of disturbing Lu Yan, so he had to continue to shrink. However, Lu Yan whispered in his ear, “It’s okay, don’t be so nervous, you can relax, sit up straight, and look at the scenery along the road.”

Su Mo slowly loosened his grip on the other’s waist, grabbed the front of the car with one hand, slowly sat up straight, and leaned back slightly to give Lu Yan a view. However, the space was small after all, and their faces were very close, and they could hear each other’s breathing.

Lu Yan smiled and whispered in his ear, “How do you feel?”

“Very comfortable and fun.”

“Have you ever ridden a bicycle when you were a kid?” Lu Yan asked. The sound was carried away by the whistling wind.

Su Mo shook his head. “No. The driver always picks us up when needed.”

“Haha, you are such a great young master.” Lu Yan said with a smile, “Now let me let you experience the fun of being a commoner. You can try to let go of your hands and face the wind. Don’t be afraid, I will protect you.”

Su Mo obediently let go of his hand, turned slightly, faced the wind, opened his arms, and almost rested his entire head on the chest of the person behind him. This feeling was indeed different. Lu Yan’s speed was neither fast nor slow. Gusts of wind and the scenery along the roadside passed by him. This was a kind of comfort and pleasure that he had never experienced even in a convertible sports car.

Suddenly, Lu Yan let go of the handlebars and relied on pedaling to balance and control the direction. Su Mo was startled. Lu Yan held his waist and said, “Don’t be afraid, just like this, stretch out your hands and keep your balance. Don’t worry, I’m behind you.”

Lu Yan’s voice calmed his anxiety, Su Mo obediently opened his hands, and the two of them rode in this posture for a long time. They didn’t meet many people along the way, but everyone they met looked at them with surprise, admiration, and even envy, and no one thought there was anything wrong with this.

When he finally stopped, Su Mo followed Lu Yan’s example and walked onto the grass without caring about his image. He felt very happy.

The two men bumped their heads together, breathing heavily. Lu Yan smiled and asked, “Are you happy?”

“I’m very happy. I’ve never felt so happy before.”

Lu Yan sat up, and pulled Su Mo up as well, picking the grass debris stuck on his hair for him, and smiled at him tenderly, “If I have time, I really want to take you to do all the happy things.”

Su Mo looked at him, his heart full of sweetness, unable to speak. He suddenly grabbed Lu Yan’s hand and swallowed, “Lu Yan, you, we, will be together like this forever, okay?”

Lu Yan was silent for a while, then suddenly smiled, “Director Su, are you proposing to me?”

Su Mo’s emotions had calmed down and he began to smile, “So, does Mr. Lu agree?”

“No, I don’t agree.” Lu Yan said seriously.

Su Mo was stunned for a moment, and his smile froze.

Lu Yan smiled slyly, “Things like proposing must be done by me.”

Lu Yan said seriously, “Give me a little more time, until I am more qualified to stand by your side.”

Su Mo also said seriously, “You have always had this qualification. Only you have this qualification.”

Happy times always pass quickly. When Su Mo came yesterday, Lu Yan asked him how long he could stay this time. Su Mo said regretfully that he had already booked a return ticket when he came, for the next night.

So after having dinner early, Lu Yan drove Su Mo to the airport. Originally, Su Mo said that Song Hui could take him there, as Lu Yan still had to film and didn’t want him to be too tired. But Lu Yan insisted, so Su Mo had no choice but to let him do it.

On the way to the airport, the two didn’t say much. They were in a low mood and the atmosphere was a bit depressing.

Although it was said that “If love lasts forever, why should we be together day and night”, after being apart for so long, they really wished they could be together every moment.

It’s just that Su Mo, the big boss, seemed to be much busier than Lu Yan, the big star. In the past six months, he had been almost always abroad, and his homesickness had become a disaster and a disease.

When he was about to enter the customs, Su Mo turned to Lu Yan, who had been silent the whole time, and said, “Go back quickly. I will definitely come back when you have a concert.”

Lu Yan forced a smile, hugged his shoulders, and whispered, “Have a safe journey.”

“Yeah.” Su Mo responded, walked through the security check, and turned around to wave to Lu Yan.

Only when he could no longer see his back did Lu Yan turn around and walk back. By then, he had put away the reluctance and sadness in his eyes. The road ahead was still long, and they still had so much time to be together.
