Chapter 70 Obsessed
The scenes in "The Two of Us" covering spring and autumn only take up about 20 minutes in total, which is less than the entire winter scene.

Although filming outside of snowy weather would make things much easier, the filming order this time was reversed. That is, they filmed late autumn first, then early autumn, and finally the spring scenes as usual.

Because late autumn and winter are so close together, it's important to prepare beforehand, such as removing all the fallen leaves in the yard until they turn yellow and withered. Then, hang some ivy on the wall; it's evergreen and won't look out of place. When shooting, adjust the lighting and colors in the camera, and the general autumn effect will be achieved.

The courtyard was covered with withered yellow leaves, giving it a sense of decline and decay.

The old lady, wearing a coat that she hadn't even had time to fasten, shuffled towards Xiao Ma's room with her cane, her usual composure gone, replaced by urgency.

In contrast, Zhou Xun remained squatting on the ground, only lowering her head slightly as the old lady walked past, and then glancing at her back.

The treatment of the two characters is reversed here. Zhou Xun is shot with a static shot, while the old lady is shot with a handheld panning shot to show her inner turmoil.

The old woman glanced into the room; everything was gone, leaving it empty, and her eyes seemed to become hollow as well.

The old lady turned around, took Zhou Xun's hand as she stood up, and stared at her with her cloudy eyes.

The camera immediately zoomed in, giving a close-up of the two people's faces.

The old woman's gray eyes widened, filled with reluctance, and also revealed the wrinkles on her face:
"They really moved out? They really emptied their place? They really emptied their place?"

Her voice, which sounded both accusatory and like a natural monologue, grew softer and softer as she gripped Zhou Xun's hand, which trembled uncontrollably. Then her voice rose again as she asked, "Just like that, all moved out?"

In the shot, the old lady is hunched over, looking up at Zhou Xun who has stood up straight. The urgency, reluctance, and dependence on her face show that the power dynamic between the two has completely reversed from when they first met.

These words seemed to strike Zhou Xun's heart, filling her with guilt. Gone was her previous extroverted and energetic self; she simply replied blankly, "Yes, I've found a new house."

The old lady remained silent, her face quickly turning dejected. Looking at Zhou Xun, she felt both sorrow and reluctance, unable to hide her inner vulnerability any longer.

"Pass! Perfect!"

This scene is a crucial emotional climax and turning point in the entire film. Wu Yuchen didn't skimp on the film, shooting many takes until he finally found the perfect shot.

Wu Yuchen was quite happy, not only because of this important scene, but also because the crew members all knew that he had won the Berlin Golden Bear, which greatly boosted their morale and enthusiasm.

The entire crew was in great spirits, which naturally boosted their efficiency. He filmed the autumn scenes in five days and the spring scenes in a week, finishing that part of the work in less than two weeks. The next filming won't be until June or July, when it's summer and people can wear short sleeves.

In the meantime, he could develop the previously filmed footage and edit it first.

That evening, Wu Yuchen and the crew had another impromptu farewell dinner. After seeing everyone off, he strolled along the roadside to digest his food when his phone suddenly rang.

After taking out the phone and answering the call, I heard a very weak voice coming from the other end:
"Wu Yuchen, I... I can't take it anymore..."

"You are... Pear? What's wrong?" Wu Yuchen frowned immediately; he could barely recognize the voice on the other end.

"I just had vomiting and diarrhea for almost two hours straight, and my stomach hurts terribly. I feel dizzy and lightheaded right now..." Zeng Li said with difficulty.

Are you at the guesthouse?

"Um……"

"Wait for me, I'm coming right away!"

After hearing this, Wu Yuchen immediately hailed a taxi on the street, gave the driver the address, and urged him to hurry over.

When they arrived at the front desk, Wu Yuchen wasn't sure if Zeng Li would still be able to open the door, so he asked the receptionist to come with him. After Wu Yuchen entered the room, he saw Zeng Li lying on her side on the bed, clutching her stomach, curled up in a ball, her face deathly pale, as white as paper, and her lips had lost much of their rosy color.

Without asking any further questions, he picked up Zeng Li and carried her out, putting her in the taxi they had just taken, and immediately headed to the hospital.

In the car, Wu Yuchen dialed his home phone:

"Mom, I have a friend here who's on his way to your hospital, I don't know if it's food poisoning or acute gastroenteritis."

Zhou Shulan on the other end didn't waste any words upon hearing this:
"I'll contact them for you right away. They'll have a nurse pick you up at the hospital entrance. You can go with her to find Uncle Wang Li, who's on duty."

After noting it down, Wu Yuchen nodded twice and hung up the phone. He saw that Zeng Li in his arms had her eyes half-open and was looking at him with her eyes half-closed. He squeezed Zeng Li's hand and said, "It's okay, I'm here. We'll be at the hospital soon."

Zeng Li felt the warmth from her hands and the broad chest she was leaning against. She felt no longer as lost and helpless as before, and she had a sense of security. She managed a smile.

"Food poisoning caused by eating broad beans is not a serious problem. I'll give her an IV drip and prescribe some medicine. If she takes it regularly for a few days, she should recover."

"Thank you, Uncle Wang!"

After seeing the doctor off, Wu Yuchen returned to the bedside and saw Zeng Li with an IV in one hand and her other hand pressed against her stomach, her brows still tightly furrowed.

"Still uncomfortable?"

"It hurts," Zeng Li nodded weakly.

Wu Yuchen looked at the nurse who had just received him:

"Nurse, she's..."

"This is gastrointestinal spasm caused by her previous vomiting and diarrhea. We've given her the medicine, and it will take a while for her to recover."

The nurse then smiled at Wu Yuchen:
"Is this your girlfriend? Rub your hands together to warm them up and give her a massage; it will make her feel better."

Upon hearing this, Wu Yuchen looked at Zeng Li, only to see her looking at him pitifully without saying a word.

He breathed on his hands a few times, rubbed them together vigorously, then sat down on the edge of the hospital bed, slipped his hand inside her clothes, and through the close-fitting underwear, he could clearly feel the warmth emanating from her skin.

"Is this the place?" Wu Yuchen asked.

"A little lower," Zeng Li hummed softly, then guided Wu Yuchen's hand downwards with her own.

Wu Yuchen placed his hand on her lower abdomen and stopped moving. Knowing it was the right spot, he began to gently massage it. Zeng Li's hand remained on the back of his hand, without moving it away.

The IV drip slowly fell, and the entire ward fell silent.

After a while, whether it was the medication that had been administered or Wu Yuchen's massage that relieved the spasms, Zeng Li's brows gradually relaxed and her complexion began to regain its rosy hue.

Zeng Li turned her head to the side, her gaze fixed on the boy who was still rubbing her stomach, and she was momentarily captivated.

Let's not get into the clichés; many people probably know about the food poisoning incident involving the pear before its third trial.
