[World 7] Chapter 185

　　After Xu Cheng asked this question, he looked at Jiang Mu nervously, with a hint of hope in his eyes.

　　Jiang Mu was confused when she heard this, and repeated in a low voice: "Do you like me?"

　　Xu Cheng was not good at expressing his true feelings. He was very unfamiliar with confessing. His body was shaking a little, and even speaking became difficult. It seemed that his heart would jump out of his chest as soon as he opened his mouth.

　　"Yeah." Xu Cheng could only nod vigorously, barely uttering a single syllable, and his face turned extremely red.

　　Jiang Mu seemed very surprised. She smiled at first and said, "But... but we are acting."

　　This sentence made Xu Cheng feel very depressed. It was just acting. Then... were all those intimate things they did also acting?

　　He changed his mind and realized that Jiang Mu seemed to have never made any promise to him, nor had she ever said that she liked him. The reason they had sex was because he was full of vigor and vitality and he could not resist the temptation and fell for Jiang Mu.

　　It was he who failed to distinguish between the play and reality, and now he wanted to impose his emotions on Jiang Mu.

　　Xu Cheng suddenly felt that he had gone too far.

　　Before the filming of this drama started, he had other ideas about Jiang Mu. It was he who did not reject Jiang Mu's proposal and got himself deeper and deeper into trouble step by step. Now he can only blame himself.

　　Xu Cheng doesn't have much experience in dating, and his emotions are reserved. So even if he knows that he is attracted to Jiang Mu, he doesn't want to take the initiative, but just pays attention to Jiang Mu silently.

　　If Jiang Mu hadn't taken the initiative to find him, he might have waited until the filming of the drama was finished before revealing the truth to Jiang Mu.

　　But it was also because Jiang Mu took the initiative to propose to act against him that he was able to use the role in the play to express his inner feelings openly and hide his love in Lin Yuting's affection for Xue Luo. In this way, he had no psychological burden and did not feel nervous, which led to a series of events that made the two of them closer and closer.

　　After Xu Cheng thought it through, Jiang Mu's rejection was not so difficult to accept.

　　The main reason was that he didn't make it clear at the beginning. He was too slow to warm up and didn't know how to express his feelings.

　　He felt that as long as Jiang Mu understood his feelings, the rest could come slowly.

　　So Xu Cheng took a deep breath and forced himself to overcome his fear.

　　"I'm not acting now. I like you, not Xue Luo in the play."

　　Jiang Mu shook her head, "No, Xu Cheng, you must have made a mistake."

　　Xu Cheng insisted: "I didn't."

　　Jiang Mu seemed to find it hard to believe what he said. She was silent for a few seconds, "But... you make me feel very stressed."

　　Xu Cheng was stunned for a moment and lowered his head, "Sorry, I just want to speak my mind."

　　Jiang Mu sighed, "I don't blame you, I was just... a little surprised for a moment, I didn't expect it."

　　Xu Cheng nodded. He was feeling a little depressed, but he didn't want Jiang Mu to see it. "I understand."

　　Jiang Mu: "I don't want to lie to you. I think you're a good person, but I never thought you would like me, and... I don't want to develop a relationship now."

　　Jiang Mu finished speaking and pulled him nervously, "Xu Cheng, are you angry?"

　　Xu Cheng quickly said: "I won't be angry."

　　Jiang Mu: "That's good, otherwise I don't know what to do."

　　Xu Cheng was silent for a moment.

　　Jiang Mu: "Xu Cheng, have you really never thought that your feelings for me are just influenced by the role? Are you too immersed in the role? Anyway, I am about to finish filming. Maybe after I leave, you will be able to see your heart clearly."

　　Xu Cheng frowned. He wanted to make things clear with Jiang Mu and tell her that he was really not who she said he was.

　　But seeing Jiang Mu blaming herself, Xu Cheng didn't know whether to say so.

　　Seeing that he was silent, the atmosphere became gloomy. Jiang Mu stood up and said, "Forget about it today. I think you are not in the mood to act. You should go back and rest early."

　　Xu Cheng glanced at her but didn't move.

　　He doesn't want to leave.

　　If he left now, he would start to have wild thoughts again when he returned to his room.

　　Jiang Mu: "What's wrong?"

　　Xu Cheng: "Can I stay here with you for a while?

　　Jiang Mu: "Don't you want to go back?"

　　Xu Cheng: "Yeah."

　　Jiang Mu smiled gently: "Well, if you want to stay, you can stay anytime."

　　Xu Cheng looked at her and was distracted for a moment.

　　Jiang Mu: "Then I'll go take a shower first, you sit here for a while."

　　Xu Cheng was slow to react. It was not until Jiang Mu left that he nodded belatedly.

　　When Jiang Mu came out of the bathroom, Xu Cheng was reading the script she had placed on the sofa.

　　Jiang Mu walked towards him while wiping her hair. "Do you want to take a shower here? You can go to bed directly when you return. It seems that it is getting late."

　　Xu Cheng blinked, feeling a little embarrassed.

　　Jiang Mu seemed to have forgotten what happened just now. She looked calm and wore a bathrobe. She didn't mind Xu Cheng's presence at all. "If you don't want to, you can go back and take a shower."

　　Xu Cheng said, "Well, I'd better go back and wash it."

　　Jiang Mu's words have two meanings, and it depends on how the listener thinks about it. It can be taken as an order to leave, or as an ambiguous hint.

　　The naive Xu Cheng thought that Jiang Mu said it was getting late and was urging him to leave.

　　Jiang Mu smiled sweetly: "Okay, then you sit for a while and I'll blow dry my hair."

　　Xu Cheng nodded, and he felt relieved when he heard that Jiang Mu was not in a hurry to let him go.

　　Jiang Mu was wearing a bathrobe, and her bare face looked particularly beautiful. Her skin was in great condition, with almost invisible pores, and her delicate skin was like egg white. Her eyes were misty and watery, and her hair was wrapped in a towel, which was dripping wet, with water droplets falling on her collarbone and sliding down.

　　He looked at Jiang Mu, reluctant to blink.

　　Jiang Mu turned around and looked at him: "Do you want to help me blow dry my hair? I hate blowing dry my hair the most."

　　Xu Cheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded slowly.

　　"Really? That's great. I'll bring the hair dryer over. I'll sit on the sofa and you can help me blow dry it."

　　When Jiang Mu smiled, her eyes were like two crescents with stars in them, which looked very beautiful.

　　She took the hair dryer from the bathroom and handed it to Xu Cheng. Xu Cheng had never blown anyone's hair before. When he saw Jiang Mu leaning on the sofa, waiting for him, his heart started beating fast again.

　　Xu Cheng plugged in the hair dryer, then stood behind Jiang Mu, held up her hair, and carefully blew it dry from the top of her head to the ends.

　　He was not very skilled, but he was very serious and his technique was gentle.

　　"How does this feel?"

　　Jiang Mu said lazily: "Well, very good."

　　Xu Cheng stood and looked down at Jiang Mu's face. The angle was different, and the feeling was different from what he usually saw.

　　Jiang Mu closed her eyes. She had a high nose bridge and beautifully shaped lips. Her face was glowing with a rosy glow, and there was an indescribable beauty in her.

　　Maybe it was because she had just taken a shower, her body was warm and the fragrance was particularly pleasant.

　　Xu Cheng's nose was not very sensitive, and he could only smell the scent of roses in the fragrance.

　　It's like a rose blooming in a secluded and deserted manor. The fragrance is strong, but also mixed with other scents, making people want to get closer and smell it carefully.

　　Xu Cheng's fingers shuttled through Jiang Mu's hair. He felt that Jiang Mu's hair was thin and soft, and it was very comfortable to pinch. After being half dry, it was even more silky and soft.

　　Her hair is thick and long, without the hair volume problem that people worry about nowadays. There are also many fine features on her hairline, which add a bit of childishness and cuteness to her delicate face.

　　Xu Cheng felt that he was obsessed. Just looking at Jiang Mu made his heart beat faster and he had a lot of thoughts.

　　As he was thinking, he didn't notice that Jiang Mu had already opened her eyes and was looking at him.

　　It wasn't until Jiang Mu called out his name that he came back to his senses.

　　"What are you thinking about?" Jiang Mu asked.

　　Xu Cheng blushed, "No, nothing."

　　He didn't tell the truth because all he could think about was Jiang Mu, and he couldn't say such words.

　　But Jiang Mu didn't believe it, "You're lying. You must have been thinking about something just now."

　　Xu Cheng's panic-stricken look is somewhat cute. When he is not filming, he is just like a little puppy who can't stand being teased. But as soon as the director shouts start, he can immediately become a different person. Even if he is asked to play a ruthless killer, he can handle it with ease.

　　This is the strength of Xu Cheng. Although Jiang Mu is always mentally prepared and knows that Xu Cheng is about to get into the game, she is still surprised by Xu Cheng's performance every time.

　　Therefore, when Jiang Mu saw Xu Cheng's shy look, she couldn't help but want to see the two extreme contrasts of his shyness to his gloomy and cold appearance.

　　Shw want to see him suddenly turn into Lin Yuting.

　　I have to say, perhaps Xu Cheng could be something else.

　　Jiang Mu blinked her eyes. It should be fun to role-play with someone like Xu Cheng.

　　No matter what role it is, Xu Cheng should be able to get into it in one second.

　　Xu Cheng's eyes dodged, like a pure and simple white rabbit, and his ears turned red, "I'm thinking about you."

　　Jiang Mu smiled and continued to ask: "Me? Why are you thinking about me? Am I not right in front of you?"

　　Xu Cheng: "It's not the same idea."

　　Jiang Mu: "Okay, my hair is dry, no need to blow dry it, thank you."

　　Xu Cheng: "No need... no need."

　　He looked at Jiang Mu, wondering whether he should leave.

　　Jiang Mu took his hand and said, "I want to try to act in another play with you."

　　Xu Cheng asked doubtfully, "Are you going to play something else?"

　　"Well, there is a scene in "The Color of the Sun" that I particularly like. It's the scene where the hero and the heroine you play meet for the last time."

　　Jiang Mu spoke calmly, without blushing or getting out of breath.

　　But Xu Cheng blushed in an instant.

　　That scene is the most emotional and exciting intimate scene in "The Color of the Sun".

　　The scene was cleared at that time. Xu Cheng's performance was okay, but the heroine had to do repeated NGs, which affected his condition. It took several takes before Guo Qiyue was satisfied.

　　The main reason was that Xu Cheng had no experience before. After being with Jiang Mu, when he thought back to that scene, he felt more and more that the feeling of interpretation was really different depending on whether or not he had sexual experience. Before, he relied entirely on learning from movies, but now he can interpret it in his most natural and relaxed state.

　　Xu Cheng: "But that scene..."

　　Jiang Mu interrupted Xu Cheng before he could finish his words.

　　She put her hand on Xu Cheng's lips and whispered, "Don't you think you can perform better now than before? Don't you want to try it with me?"

　　Xu Cheng quickly came up with the answer in his mind.

　　Of course he felt that way, of course he wanted to.

　　But he had other concerns.

　　But Jiang Mu didn't give him time to think about it, "I really want to try it, can you promise me? Is it okay?"

　　Every time Jiang Mu looked at him with tender and longing eyes, he couldn't resist.
