A Contractual Marriage with the Best Leading Actor Chapter 156

Qi Qi is the Best (1) - unedited

Xi Chengyun halted in his steps. He exasperatedly laughed and said, “Mn, speaking of prices, Qi Qi, why don’t you make an offer?”

Xi Chengyun sounded serious, and this made Bai Qi feel a little awkward. Bai Qi found himself tongue-tied. “Hm, hm… how about 5 cents? I only accept cash, though, no online payments allowed.”

Xi Chengyun paused in his steps.

Bai Qi noticed this and also stopped walking forward. He instinctively rubbed the tips of his fingers together in anxiousness. “What’s wrong? Did I request for a price that is too high?”

‘Nonsense. How could that possibly be true,’ Xi Chengyun thought as he looked at Bai Qi, his throat feeling tighter by the minute.

‘He’s just too cute.’

Everything Bai Qi did was cute to him; from asking for “extra remuneration” to asking for 5 cents in cash and questioning if it’s too expensive.

He was so cute that Xi Chengyun was tempted to ignore everyone on set and give him a hug. He wanted to keep a miniature version of Bai Qi in his shirt pocket, to always keep him near his heart.

Bai Qi let out a tiny breath of relief. The atmosphere between them right now was a little weird.

He felt he had been trapped in an invisible net. Just a subtle touch from Xi Chengyun would cause his heart to race and his entire body to become numb.

Bai Qi blinked innocently before joyfully saying, “Mn… 1 cent is fine, too.”

Xi Chengyun replied in a deep voice, “Alright.”

However, Bai Qi wasn’t sure what he was referring to when he said “alright”.

Director Zheng couldn’t wait any longer and urged them to hurry up. “Xi-laoshi, why are you taking so long? Are you planning to take 10 days and 10 nights to get going?”

The people on set couldn’t help but laugh while they looked at Bai Qi with pure envy and jealousy.

They’re too cute, their relationship is blinding!

Xi Chengyun looked up and nonchalantly replied, “We’re coming.”

They walked over and stopped in front of the chair. Xi Chengyun sat down and placed a hand on top of the table. His loose white sleeve fell gently onto the tabletop, and one could see the subtle green embroidery on the sleeve.

Ban Yuren liked wearing white clothes.

He had self-proclaimed righteousness; he believes that he had followed his heart in everything that he did. Thus, when blood splattered all over his clothes when he killed people, he actually thought that it was beautiful.

This set of robes matched Xi Chengyun’s handsome face very well.

This man was handsome and charismatic. He tilted his head up and met the camera with cold eyes.

Although his lips were curved into a smile, no one could sense a presence of humanly kindness coming from the man.

Bai Qi held his breath uncontrollably.

He’d pulled multiple late nighters to watch Xi Chengyun’s movies. Now, a character he was used to seeing in the movies was coming to life right before his eyes.

The difference between seeing him on screen and in person was truly breathtaking.

He was a natural.

He’d already sat down and embraced the character, Ban Yuren, even before the director had told him to start.

Bai Qi quickly recalled Li Yu’s personality.

‘Acting as him… doesn’t seem to be as difficult as I thought?’

Bai Qi looked down and his eyes met Xi Chengyun’s.

Xi Chengyun briefly explained the situation to him. “Zheng Ming likes to focus on the atmosphere and the details of the scene. He wouldn’t start by immediately filming your face. He emphasizes the importance of storytelling, especially when the scene is particularly emotional. He will start by filming from behind you and follow you as you walk towards me.”

His accent sounded like Ban Yuren, but the words were phrased exactly like how Xi Chengyun would’ve said it. Bai Qi felt as if the two personalities had now melded into one.

“So…”

Xi Chengyun raised a hand and held onto Bai Qi’s waist.

Bai Qi instinctively bent over and Xi Chengyun managed to catch him in time.

His hand was pressed against his spine and he slowly slid his hand downwards. “So, when filming from that angle, your back would look beautiful if you arch it a bit…” he whispered.

Bai Qi’s breathing became shallower. His muscles tightened uncontrollably all over his body.

He felt a slight burn at the places which Xi Chengyun had touched.

“Mn…” Bai Qi replied.

Acting… was certainly a difficult job.

Xi Chengyun looked up and his beautifully cold eyes showed the embodiment of a purely confident man.

“Qi Qi, kiss me,” he said as he stared at Bai Qi.

He couldn’t seem to take his eyes off of him.

Bai Qi supported himself with a hand on the armrest while he leaned towards him.

For a moment, a weird thought crossed his mind —

If he hadn’t agreed to appear in this movie with Xi Chengyun, who would Xi Chengyun be acting with? Who would’ve been in his place right now; listening to his gentle whispers about how beautiful their back was and how they should arch it…

Xi Chengyun suddenly held the back of Bai Qi’s hand and reached into his sleeves. Bai Qi shivered and his fingers curled when he touched a particular part of his arm.

Xi Chengyun rolled up Bai Qi’s sleeve and his fair arm was exposed for all to see.

Bai Qi kinda felt as if he was being peeled open like a piece of shrimp.

And that wasn’t all. He proceeded to hold him tightly by the palm of his hand and wedged open each of his fingers.

“Qi Qi, you need to open your hand, show them your beautiful palms…”

Xi Chengyun spoke in a deep and sexy voice, and Bai Qi felt as if he wasn’t being asked to open his fingers, and was being asked to open something else instead.
