Endless Fall

227 He Might Not Cooperate

Jiang Ye, who was hanging from the wire, jumped down from the eaves in a white robe embroidered with cloud patterns.

He held the fan in his hand. His graceful posture was like a snow lotus on a snowy mountain. He was unreachable, but it made people unable to help but look at him.

“He looks too good in that outfit.” Lin Jiao had seen handsome men in ancient clothes before, but unlike Jiang Ye, they did not give people a visual impact.

Pei Yilan smiled. “Yes.” She could not bear to look away. “I’ll buy two more sets of ancient clothes for him to wear later.”

“Wear it at night?”

“You know me the best.”

She often said that she wanted to do this and that to him. It was difficult for Lin Jiao not to understand. “The ancient clothes are a little heavy. Don’t you find it troublesome?”

“No.” Pei Yilan’s patience was endless.

Seeing that he was done filming, she held Lin Jiao’s arm and walked to the other side. “Jiaojiao, do you still remember your previous dreams?”

Hearing the word ‘dream’, Lin Jiaoyi remembered Pei Zhi, who was wearing armor. “I remember.”

“Do you want to buy some for Uncle to wear too?”

“Him? He might not like it.”

“As long as you like it.” Pei Yilan pushed open the lounge with Jiang Ye’s name on it and sat on the sofa.

She poured tea into a cup. “Imagine him lying in bed waiting for you to help him undress. Isn’t that exciting?”

Lin Jiao’s interest was piqued. “Indeed.” She suddenly thought of something and said, “I don’t think he will cooperate with me.”

They were so engrossed in talking that they did not even notice that there was another person in the room.

Jiang Ye coughed twice. “What are you guys talking about?”

Pei Yilan was shocked by his sudden voice.

“Clothes.” She immediately smiled at him. “Are you tired? Let me get you a glass of water.”

“I’m alright.” Jiang Ye had no intention of asking further. When he took the glass of water, he held her hand.

As soon as they got close, the atmosphere became sweet. Lin Jiao smiled. “How much longer do you need to film this drama?”

“About a month.”

“Are you going to stay on set for this period of time?”

“Not necessarily.” Jiang Ye took two sips of water and leaned back on the sofa. “I won’t stay here overnight if there is no night scene.”

Lin Jiao was slightly relieved. After all, Pei Yilan would be lonely if she stayed alone in Ming Xin mansion for too long.

She chatted with them for a while before the phone screen suddenly lit up. “I’ll go back first. Let’s meet again another day.”

Pei Yilan sent her out of the corridor and walked back.

She sat cross-legged between Jiang Ye’s knees and rubbed his temples with her long fingers. “The director didn’t change the script today, right?”

“Not at the moment.” Ever since Jiang Ye joined the filming team, the director and screenwriter had changed the script more than once.

His current role was very different from the script he had first received. “I regret taking on this drama.”

“You want to talk to him sometime?”

“It’s no use.” He wrapped his arm around her waist. “No matter how much we talk, the love scenes will only increase.”

However, he could not change anything.

Pei Yilan kissed his lips lightly. “Put up with it for a month. Next time, don’t take on dramas.”

“Okay.” Jiang Ye was revived by the kiss.

His palm moved up inch by inch, passing through her soft black hair and covering her lips again.

Pei Yilan, who was kissed until her eyes were blurry, leaned her ear close to his chest and listened to his heartbeat.

She suddenly thought of something. “A fan asked when you would give your first kiss on screen?”

“Not in this lifetime.” Jiang Ye admitted that he was not dedicated enough to acting and wouldn’t do things he didn’t want to do.

He pinched her face gently, his smiling eyes filled with affection. “I don’t want to be kicked awake in the middle of the night.”

“You are still mentioning this!” Pei Yilan pouted.

The last time she dreamed that Jiang Ye was having an ambiguous relationship with an actress on set, she kicked him in her half-asleep state and even cried from anger.

In the end, he had to hug her and coax her for a long time. He had to promise her a lot before he could coax her to sleep.

Jiang Ye chuckled. “I won’t bring this up again.” He fed her two sips of water and looked at the time. “Yilan, do you want to sleep for a while?”

“Will I get a kiss when I wake up?”

“Yes.” He carried her and lay on the fold-out bed that was about 1.5 meters wide. “I’ll give you as many kisses as you want.”

Pei Yilan smiled sweetly. “I’ll wait for you.” She pecked the corner of his lips and closed her eyes obediently.

Jiang Ye covered her with a blanket before leaving.

Hanging on the wire, he finished filming the second scene of the day. When he rushed back, he was stopped by the actress playing the third female lead in the corridor.

“Jiang Ye.” He Jia stood in front of him and said gently, “I have something to tell you.”
