Transmigrating into a novel as a supporting female character: all for the sake of seducing the secon

Most of the other segments don't require Ning Yi to portray any emotional changes; they can be filmed like regular photos and videos.

"That's impressive, your expressions are getting more and more natural," Ji Yan said encouragingly to Ning Yi, putting down the script.

Ning Yi held the script and let out a long sigh: "Luckily, there isn't much plot, otherwise I would have been really worried and held back."

Ji Yan chuckled lightly: "How could that be? After all, this isn't a real TV drama."

Ning Yi wanted to read the script a little longer, but Ji Yan took the script from her hands and said with some dissatisfaction, "I've been reading the script with you for quite a while now, shouldn't you spend some time with me?"

Ning Yi asked somewhat helplessly, "What do you want to do?"

Ji Yan leaned even closer to Ning Yi: "What do you think?"

After saying that, Ji Yan was about to kiss her, but Ning Yi quickly reached out to stop him: "You haven't showered yet."

“That’s right, then we can shower together,” Ji Yan said, wrapping his arm around Ning Yi’s waist with a half-smile.

Ning Yi glared at him irritably, and then the two of them took a bath together.

The next day, it was time to officially shoot the music video.

Makeup artists and stylists had already started working on Ning Yi early on. Her first look consisted of a slip dress, with her hair styled in a half-up style using a butterfly clip. Her makeup was a light nude color, with a thin, transparent, and silky smooth base, making her look casual yet sophisticated.

After Ning Yi finished her makeup and styling, she was quickly taken to the filming location, where Ji Yan was already waiting.

Ji Yan's makeup and styling also lean towards a casual and relaxed feel, because this scene depicts the two of them meeting unexpectedly while on vacation.

Director Lin came over and briefly explained the scene that Ning Yi and Ji Yan were about to film, and briefly mentioned the things they needed to pay attention to. After they were in the mood to film, he called "Action".

This wasn't Ning Yi's first time facing a camera, and there were fewer people in the audience than in the background, so she wasn't too nervous.

Ji Yan had told her that the most important thing in acting is to completely immerse yourself in the role, so at this moment, she should consider it as her first real encounter with Ji Yan.

Ning Yi leaned against a tree, wearing headphones and enjoying her leisurely time with a relaxed expression. Her lips were slightly upturned and her eyes were slowly closed. Sunlight shone on the right side of her cheek, making her look very comfortable and at ease.

Next, someone would give her hints from the sidelines about what to do next, but it has to be said that such jarring hints were really easy to break the immersion in the scene. So when Ning Yi was about to get up to find the source of the music, her movements and expression became a little stiff.

Then Director Lin called a pause. Ji Yan came over to comfort Ning Yi and talked to her for a while. A few minutes later, filming resumed.

Ning Yi's performance became much more natural after that, and she even added some of her own habitual movements. The first segment was filmed very quickly.

Fang Yuqing handed Ning Yi a glass of orange juice, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Yi."

Ning Yi smiled at her and took the orange juice. Then she followed Ji Yan to Director Lin's place to check out the video footage.

"I look really good in the photos," Ning Yi couldn't help but exclaim.

Ji Yan smiled and reached out to tidy her messy hair: "You're beautiful to begin with."

They can rest for fifteen minutes now, and then they will need to take some more photos and videos. After that, they will need to restyle their outfits to prepare for another segment.

It was already past 9 p.m. when filming wrapped up for the day. Ji Yan suggested that everyone have dinner at the beach restaurant, where they could also enjoy the night view. It's important to balance work and rest after a long day.

It has to be said that Ji Yan takes good care of his staff. Having such an understanding boss is like having team building while working.

The average price per person at the seaside restaurants here is generally not low, and with such a large group, they were bound to attract attention. Soon, people spotted Ji Yan and began to gather around him in small groups.

It's Ji Yan!

"Are you Ji Yan? I never expected to run into you here!"

"That looks like a celebrity, let's go check it out."

"Ji Yan really is Ji Yan! Can we take a picture together?"

"Ahhh, that's Ning Yi next to you! Are you traveling together?"

As more and more people arrived, staff members stepped forward to maintain order, and Ji Yan and Ning Yi politely greeted them.

"I'm sorry, it's not convenient to take a group photo today," Ji Yan said to them.

The restaurant manager arrived quickly and led them to the two private rooms they had just booked upstairs.

News and photos of a chance encounter with Ji Yan and Ning Yi at a beach restaurant in the Maldives quickly spread online. People noticed that in addition to the two of them, they were accompanied by staff, suggesting they were busy with work.

People speculated that Ning Yi might just be accompanying Ji Yan to work, since everyone knew they had just gotten engaged and the couple were very affectionate.

Because of the large number of people, Ji Yan asked Fang Yuqing to book two large private rooms. The staff were very happy, since it was a rare treat for them to travel to the Maldives to eat at a specialty restaurant.

The dishes were served quickly, and Ji Yan thoughtfully peeled crab shells for Ning Yi, prompting Director Lin to exclaim, "Seeing you two young people having such a good relationship reminds me of when my wife and I were in our early twenties. It's been twenty-five years since then!"

"You are all good kids. Society has changed these days, and it's not easy to stay together like this."

Ji Yan smiled and said, "I hope that Xiao Yi and I can be as loving as you and your wife are."

After dinner, it was already past 10 p.m. Ji Yan asked Ning Yi if she wanted to watch the stars together before going back.

The two lay on the beach chairs. The evening breeze was a bit chilly, but the scenery here was truly beautiful.

"How pleasant! I wish my job was like this every day," Ning Yi said relaxedly.

Ji Yan glanced at Ning Yi and asked, "Do you want to work while having fun, or do you want to work with me?"

Ning Yi raised her lips and said, "Of course, it's about working while having fun!"

“Okay then, you’ve already reserved all the female leads for my music videos, so you can have fun while working with me,” Ji Yan replied.

Ning Yi couldn't help but ask, "You think so highly of me?"

Ji Yan gazed at her with a smile in his eyes: "I mainly want to be with you."
