Marked by the Milk-Soft Alpha I Picked Up (Entertainment Circle) - Chapter 19

In the distance, the director’s loudspeaker sounded. Lin Ruoyun quickly put down her lunch box, gave a quick instruction to Guan Yinghan, and pulled Jiang Hui towards the studio.

That night, there was a scene where the supporting female character turns dark. Lin Ruoyun had to seduce and bewitch the fourth male lead, using his power to get revenge on the female lead. 

Lin Ruoyun was wearing a light blue cheongsam provided by the crew. It showed off her curves while also covering her slender neck, making her chin look more delicate and petite.

With the director’s “Action,” Lin Ruoyun’s eyes became flirtatious. Barefoot, she swayed her slender waist and strolled lazily. As she walked towards the fourth male lead, she began to unbutton the diagonal collar of her cheongsam shawl. 

The fourth male lead looked up, and with a gentle pull, Lin Ruoyun fell onto his lap.

Lin Ruoyun had never filmed an intimate scene before. When the fourth male lead’s hand touched her, she shivered instinctively. The fourth male lead felt her struggle in his arms. He was slightly taken aback and, to not ruin the take, tightened his grip on Lin Ruoyun. 

Lin Ruoyun’s expression instantly became unnatural and stiff. She even stumbled over her lines.

The fourth male lead’s hand slowly moved and stroked her lower back. Lin Ruoyun’s face turned pale, and she reflexively threw him off. The director seemed very dissatisfied. When he yelled “Cut,” his tone was a little critical.

Lin Ruoyun bent over to apologize, adjusted her mindset, and tried to reshoot the scene, but her stiff performance still didn’t satisfy the director. Once, twice, three times… Because of her, the scene had been stuck for a long time. 

The entire crew kept making adjustments for her. She didn’t need anyone to say anything; Lin Ruoyun could feel the immense pressure from the staff’s eyes.

Although her acting wasn’t explosive, it was acceptable. She was even able to hold her own against the film empress, Jiang Hui. But when it came to intimate scenes, she couldn’t let go, not even for a little physical contact. 

The director and Jiang Hui exchanged glances, swallowed all their critical words, and sighed almost imperceptibly. 

“Forget it. Ruoyun’s not in a good state today. Let’s stop here for now and continue reshooting tomorrow.”

Even though the director didn’t say anything critical, Lin Ruoyun was frustrated beyond words and even started to despise herself. She bit her lower lip hard, her eyelashes lowered, hiding her teary, red eyes.

Guan Yinghan watched her from a distance through a doorway. Even from so far away, she could feel Lin Ruoyun’s dejection, and her heart uncontrollably tightened.

Jiang Hui usually disdained being a wingman, but she really couldn’t stand to see the Second Miss like this and decided to help her. Jiang Hui walked over, patted Lin Ruoyun on the shoulder, and comforted her softly.

“Ruoyun, the most foolish but also the most effective way to get into character is to throw away all your restraints and put your whole heart into it. If you really can’t…”

Jiang Hui paused, her eyes glancing past the door to Guan Yinghan, then turning back.

“If you really can’t, you can find someone you’re familiar with and trust to practice the scene with. Overcome your mental block first, and maybe you’ll be able to handle your emotions better.”

Lin Ruoyun was in a bad mood and just said softly, “Mhm.”

******

The filming time was delayed for a long time. It was almost ten o’clock when they got home. Lin Ruoyun was a very rational person who didn’t bring negative work emotions into her life. She came out of the bathroom after a shower and smiled softly at Guan Yinghan, who was watching TV on the sofa. 

“Naitang, go to bed early after you shower, okay?”

Guan Yinghan suppressed the worry in her heart and nodded obediently.

She came out wrapped in her pajamas and saw Lin Ruoyun sitting on the soft cushion on the balcony, leaning against the glass and concentrating on the script, her eyebrows tightly furrowed. 

Guan Yinghan didn’t dare to disturb her. She quietly went back to the sofa, turned on the TV, lowered the volume to the minimum, and pretended to be watching the screen, but her eyes were secretly glancing at Lin Ruoyun.

Lin Ruoyun was still struggling with the script when Jiang Hui’s words suddenly echoed in her ears. 

“Find someone you’re familiar with and trust to practice the scene with. Overcome your mental block first, maybe you’ll be able to handle your emotions better.”

Familiar and trustworthy person?

Lin Ruoyun slowly sat up straight, her eyes landing on Guan Yinghan. Naitang’s memory loss had made her mentally deficient, and she was still a child at heart. Wasn’t she the most trustworthy person?

Although Lin Ruoyun’s acting career wasn’t long, once she got into character, every cell in her body would be engaged. She tilted her head slightly, and her seductive voice drifted from the window. “Naitang…”

Guan Yinghan’s peripheral vision had actually never left Ruoyun, but hearing her call her name, she still pretended to look up from the screen. “Sister, did you call me?”

Lin Ruoyun pulled the hair tie out of her hair and shook her head seductively and charmingly. The loose pajamas slipped to the side, resting on her arm. The only incandescent lamp on the balcony cast a hazy light, giving her a tempting, jade-like glow.

Guan Yinghan forgot to look away and just stared at her as she walked over. For a moment, she was dizzy and couldn’t see anything clearly. By the time she came to her senses, her arms were filled with a soft, delicate feeling.

“Naitang.” Lin Ruoyun sat on her lap, one arm hooked around her neck, her eyes sparkling as she looked at her. “Can you help my Sister practice a scene, okay?”

Guan Yinghan was startled. She slowly lifted her eyelids. In the warm light of the living room, Lin Ruoyun looked even more charming and beautiful. Her face was small and delicate. When she looked at people with her eyes slightly raised, it was like a hook, making one’s heart itch with longing.

Guan Yinghan swallowed with difficulty. She quickly adjusted her expression and looked at Lin Ruoyun with a naive and focused look. “Sister, how do I help?”

Lin Ruoyun’s eyes shifted, and she said with a radiant smile, “Did you watch Sister act during the day?”

Guan Yinghan understood what she wanted to do almost instantly. The corners of her lips, hidden in the shadows, curved up, then quickly flattened. Guan Yinghan deliberately blinked very, very slowly, showing the curiosity of a child seeing something new. 

Her feigned naivety slowly relaxed Lin Ruoyun’s emotions.

“Naitang, can you… can you play the uncle with the gun?”

The uncle with the gun?

Isn’t that the fourth male lead who was acting in an intimate scene with Ruoyun?

“Okay, okay,” Guan Yinghan said in a light, cheerful tone, as if she were about to play a fun game.

Lin Ruoyun smiled. Her two slender arms wrapped around his neck. “Then let’s start.”

Guan Yinghan was still staring at her with concentration. Their heads were very close. Lin Ruoyun could clearly see her own reflection in Naitang’s eyes. Guan Yinghan’s pupils were extremely dark. 

When she locked her gaze, she looked especially focused, with a carefully feigned innocence that made her seem worldly.

Lin Ruoyun suddenly felt uncomfortable. So useless! If I can’t even face a soft and harmless little one like Naitang, how can I act with others?

Lin Ruoyun bit the soft flesh inside her lip, forcing herself to get back into character. According to the script, after the supporting female character turns dark, she becomes a dancer. She meets the fourth male lead at a gathering. 

After learning that he is a warlord, she uses all her charm to seduce him and make him get rid of the female lead for her.

Lin Ruoyun closed her eyes and leaned forward on Guan Yinghan’s shoulder, her nose touching his shoulder. Her warm breath fanned his vulnerable scent gland. Guan Yinghan’s scent gland uncontrollably pulsed, responding honestly and passionately to Lin Ruoyun. 

She subconsciously reached for the back of her neck. Good! The strong isolation patch was still firmly attached to her gland.

Guan Yinghan was still flustered from being unable to control her pheromones, when Lin Ruoyun’s waist and abdomen moved closer, rubbing against her very slowly. 

Her hand also moved to her back. Guan Yinghan didn’t dare to move. A moment later, something soft and delicate gently touched her earlobe.

“Warlord…” Lin Ruoyun’s voice was trembling, light and airy. The ending note trembled and rose, becoming more and more seductive as her right hand’s stroking movements became lighter and more alluring.

Guan Yinghan used all her strength to steady her breathing, still pretending to be naive as she watched Lin Ruoyun. Naitang’s magnified beauty at such a close distance was simply too powerful. Lin Ruoyun couldn’t handle it. 

She put her hands on her shoulders and pushed back a little, her breathing becoming increasingly erratic.

“Warlord…” Lin Ruoyun braced herself and continued to act, but her voice was obviously trembling. She bit her lip and leaned her head on Guan Yinghan’s chest. “Take me to the bed.”
