Wei Sama, Let’s Stuff Them with Dog Food

37. Feelings

Translator: Sissy That Walk

Wei Chang Feng wasn’t exactly pale, but he had pretty fair skin for an Asian boy. But what Qi Le An saw was a young man with dark tanned skin, his hair looked shorter as well, Qi Le An was amazed by the transformation.

People waved at Wei Chang Feng with enthusiasm, but Wei Chang Feng kept looking around until he saw Qi Le An who was standing afar from them. Wei Chang Feng winked at Qi Le An and walked to Director Chen.

Director Chen and Qi Le An compared notes on how to shoot the first scene. A few minutes later, Wei Chang Feng ran to the beach until his calves were immersed in the water, Director Chen nodded and exchanged a look with the Executive Director, “Silence!”

The people on set muted immediately, “Better Days, Scene 1, Take 1!”

A solitary seagull winged its way across the water, Xing faded into the picture, he bent over, putting his arms into the water like he was looking for something. The wind messed up his hair, but he was too focused to mind that.

“Ha!” with an exclamation Xing jumped out of the water with a crab in hand.

It was a perfect scene, however, a seagull had blocked the camera, it stared at the camera with its round and glistening eyes like it were modelling.

“Cut!” shouted Director Chen.

The Executive Director explained, “I’m sorry, Wei Ge, a bird is trying to steal your thunder.”

The crowd broke out in a riot of laughter. A prop assistant handed Wei Chang Feng a bucket to store the crab, Wei Chang Feng laughed and put the struggling crab back into the bucket.

“Better Days, Scene 1, Take 2!”

Wei Chang Feng burst into laughter and waved at the prop assistant before Director Chen said ‘Cut’, “Can you please get me another crab? I can’t seem to find the one you prepared for me just now.”

Another prop assistant dashed towards the water and handed Wei Chang Feng a new crab… …

Director Chen was a very strict director, he would take the shoots time and again to look for the perfect lighting, perfect wind and perfect sound. Wei Chang Feng had been staying in the water for about half an hour already, but Director Chen was still shooting the first scene.

Qi Le An got so worried, it wasn’t a cold day, but Qi Le Ancould’t help but get worried that what if Wei Chang Feng caught a cold in the water.

Gary who was holding a towel in hand seemed to have noticed Qi Le An’s concern, “An, this is easy for Wei Ge. Do you remember his last movie, The Yangtse River? He once spent over two hours in the ice cold river for his last scene, he went numb all over after the scene was done.”

Qi Le An’s heart ached on hearing that, Wei Chang Feng was famous for his work ethic, Qi Le An couldn’t imagine how much he had suffered for all the movies and dramas he had done.

Several minutes later, finally there came Director Chen’s examination, “Cut! That is perfect!”

With that Gary dashed towards Wei Chang Feng and covered him with a towel, Wei Chang Feng walked to the dressing room to get changed and get some touch up on the makeup for the next scene.

The second scene was Xing being scolded by his mother at home, it was a smooth shoot compared to the first scene.

Director Chen checked the time after the second scene was shot, “All right, everyone, it’s a wrap, thank you so much for today, see you all tomorrow.”

Wei Chang Feng, Gary and Qi Le An walked backed to his RV. Qi Le An could tell Wei Chang Feng was exhausted from all the running back and forth in the water. Wei Chang Feng slumped down in the sofa as soon as he got in his RV. Wei Chang Feng was too tired to ask the makeup artists to remove his makeup.

“All right, Gary, 10 a.m. tomorrow, got it.” Wei Chang Feng nodded at Gary.

“Wei Sama, I know you are exhausted, let me remove your makeup for you.” said Qi Le An.

“Sure, thanks An.” said Wei Chang Feng with his eyes closed, he must be exhausted.

Qi Le An got the makeup remover and the pads from the drawer, then he gently perched himself on the edge of the sofa. He held his breaths and studied Wei Chang Feng’s handsome features for a few seconds before he removed the foundation and powder on Wei Chang Feng’s face.

Wei Chang Feng must have had been so uncomfortable with the heavy makeup on, that was why Qi Le An offered to remove the makeup for Wei Chang Feng, he wanted Wei Chang Feng to better relax himself after the shooting.

As luck would have it, the driver Gary slammed the brakes on at that very second when Qi Le An rose to his feet to get more pads!

Qi Le An lost his balance and fell right into Wei Chang Feng’s arms, Wei Chang Feng opened his eyes and supported Qi Le An promptly. The next second Qi Le An found himself lying in Wei Chang Feng’s arms and he could even hear Wei Chang Feng’s heartbeat and feel Wei Chang Feng’s warmth.

“I’m so… so sorry… …”, Qi Le An stammered.

“You are sorry for what, for you are not the driver?” Wei Chang Feng was amused by Qi Le An.

Qi Le An blushed, he dashed out of the RV as soon as they had arrived at the hotel.

“What’s with him now?” asked Gary.

Wei Chang Feng got of the RV with composure, “Ha, just a shy boy being shy.”

Qi Le An knew he was gay when he was a little boy, and he had admired Wei Chang Feng for both his lives, so his heart had been pounding like crazy since he fell into Wei Chang Feng’s arms in the RV.

Qi Le An buried himself into the blankets and the pillows as soon as he went back to his own room, he kept searching his memory for all the reports he had read about Qi Le An.

It looked like there was only coverage about him and Sheng Chang An, no one else, male and female alike.

Qi Le An kept asking himself how exactly did he see Wei Chang Feng, Wei Chang Feng was his idol in his last life, but Wei Chang Feng had been more than his idol since his rebirth, he was his Wei Sama, his savior, his friend even?

Qi Le An was willing to do anything for Wei Chang Feng, but he wasn’t sure whether that was love, romantic love… …

Qi Le An couldn’t think this through, he didn’t even want to go to the set next morning.

“An, you look strange, I heard you went to the set yesterday, what happened to you there?” asked Chen Shan.

Silence.

“Ha, I know, you must be feeling inferior after you saw Wei Chang Feng’s performance, right?”

Qi Le An rolled his eyes and shook his head, “Of course not, this is not the first time I have seen his performance, all right?”

Chen Shan couldn’t figure it out, so he tried the cure-all way, “An, I have no idea why are you acting like this, but I have the right cure for you. Lunch, my treat, let’s go!”

“Chen Ge, I’m sorry I can’t join you, I’m just not feeling it.”

Chen Shan squinted his eyes, ‘Hmm, no appetite? What has happened to this poor boy?’

Luckily, Qi Le An had to cheer up on the fourth day because it was time for him get into the character.

As Xing’s younger male cousin Cheng, Qi Le An played an important role in Xing’s life. It was him who had introduced Xing to city life, it was him who had introduced Xing to Susan, it was him who noticed Xing’s crush on Susan, it was him who made fun of Xing for having a crush on Susan… …

Qi Le An arrived at the set early in the morning even though the schedule sheet said his shooting was in the afternoon.

Qi Le An met the actress Sang Jia Yi who played the elder female cousin Hua, Sang Jia Yi was a young actress who was in her early twenties, she indeed was a very pretty girl.

Qi Le An’s heart sank on seeing the way Sang Jia Yi and Wei Chang Feng talked to each other, Sang Jia Yi beamed with smiles the whole time, she would wave her arms and stamp her feet in joy while talking, and Wei Chang Feng would listen attentively and reply gently.

‘Wei Chang Feng is just a nice person, he is nice to you not because you are special, but because he is a gentleman!’ thought Qi Le An.

Chen Shan murmured, “I have heard of this Sang Jia Yi before, she is indeed a beauty, isn’t she?”

Silence.

Qi Le An had already walked to Wei Chang Feng and Sang Jia Yi before Chen Shan had realized, Qi Le An felt slightly better when he heard they were talking about the screenplay.

“I think your understanding is accurate, thank you so much for listening to me, Wei Ge.” Sang Jia Yi tilted her head and smiled at Wei Chang Feng.

‘Hmm, you are one year older than Wei Sama, how can you call him Ge, shame on you!’ Qi Le An rolled his eyes at Sang Jia Yi in his heart.

With that being said, Qi Le An greeted them with a sweet smile, “Morning, Wei Ge, morning, Jia Yi Jie (T/N, jie, the way to address a girl who is older than you to show respect).”

Sang Jia Yi shot a glare at Qi Le An, ‘Get lost, can’t you see I want to spend some time alone with Wei Chang Feng?’

Qi Le An decided to play dumb, he just kept on smiling at Sang Jia Yi.

“An, you are early today.” said Wei Chang Feng.

Qi Le An knew Wei Chang Feng meant he didn’t see him for about three days, Qi Le An changed the subject and said he was here early to better get into the character.

The Executive Director hurried Wei Chang Feng and Sang Jia Yi to get ready not long after Qi Le An had arrived. To Qi Le An’s surprise, Sang Jia Yi did a terrible job three takes in a row.

The cameraman started to look a bit impatient, Sang Jia Yi got more nervous after she noticed that. Wei Chang Feng helped her out by saying, “Director Chen, can I take five please, my throat is feeling funny.”

Everyone knew Wei Chang Feng was helping Sang Jia Yi out. Displeased Director Chen was, but he didn’t want to worsen the situation by scolding Sang Jia Yi, so he just nodded his head in silence.

Sang Jia Yi mouthed ‘thank you’ to Wei Chang Feng and went to the corner with Wei Chang Feng. Sang Jia Yi’s eyes turned red as she heard something Wei Chang Feng whispered at her ears.

‘Wei Sama, you can only be this nice to me! Not Sang Jia Yi, not anyone else!’ Qi Le An screamed in his heart. It wasn’t until now did Qi Le An realize maybe he WAS having romantic feelings for his Wei Sama.
