MOGHA Chapter 53

After finishing one scene, Yan Ke had a half-hour break. Just as he took the juice handed to him by his assistant and was about to walk to the rest area, he noticed that Ye Shanshan followed silently.

After spending some time together, Yan Ke had probably gained an understanding of Ye Shanshan. As his wife would put it, their minds were as vast as the heavens and the ocean, making it easy to get along with such people. So, after taking a sip of juice to moisten his throat, he proactively asked Ye Shanshan, “Is there something you want to talk to me about?”

After hesitating for a while, Ye Shanshan still stepped forward a bit, lowering his voice. “I have a question that I really want to ask,” he hesitated again, emphasizing, “really, really.”

“Then go ahead.” Yan Ke said as he led Ye Shanshan towards the rest area, where there were many people around.

Ye Shanshan followed consciously. “It’s about when I saw you acting, and you kissed Jiang Rui.”

“That’s right, the script called for a passionate kiss.”

Feeling a bit embarrassed, Ye Shanshan scratched his hair, not caring about his messy hairstyle. “So, how should one kiss properly?”

Of course, he couldn’t ask Xu Luoyang about this question. After all, he had just displayed a tall image in front of Xu Luoyang. After excluding him, Yan Ke felt he was a more reliable choice.

Upon hearing this question, Yan Ke found himself surprisingly unsurprised. After all, it didn’t feel odd at all for Ye Shanshan to ask such a question.

After closing the door of the rest area, Yan Ke asked Ye Shanshan to sit down and thought for a moment before saying,

“When it comes to kissing, for an actor, there should be a distinction between on-screen and off-screen. If it’s for filming, then you should be cautious and respectful, especially if the script doesn’t require anything too specific or explicit. It’s best to limit it to just lip contact, so the person you’re acting with doesn’t feel uncomfortable.”

Ye Shanshan’s eyes lit up as he nodded along, almost pulling out a notebook to take notes.

“As for kisses in real life, that’s something that can’t be explained in just a few words.” Yan Ke paused, feeling that this was the main point of Ye Shanshan’s inquiry. But understanding human nature, he felt that whoever Ye Shanshan wanted to kiss wouldn’t want him teaching him how to do it. So, he offered some advice,

“However, if you’re not confident, you can give the initiative to the other person.”

“The other person?” Ye Shanshan pondered for a moment, murmuring to himself, “That seems like an option too…”

Hearing this, Yan Ke roughly confirmed his guess and smiled, “These are just theories. Only through personal experience can you gain real knowledge.”

After finishing today’s shooting, Ye Shanshan quickly removed his makeup, then left the set with Lin Xiatian.

Nestled in the back seat of the car, Ye Shanshan looked over the parts of the script highlighted with a fluorescent pen, feeling somewhat uncertain.

“Xiatian, do you think if I ask Gong Yue to act with me, he will agree?”

Lin Xiatian answered without any hesitation, “He will!”

“Well, what if the scene I want to act with him is the one between the male and female leads today?”

“The male and female leads?” Lin Xiatian thought for a moment. Although that scene required a high emotional intensity and included a kissing segment, if it’s just acting, “Young Master will agree.”

Encouraged by this, Ye Shanshan clenched his fist by his lips, clearing his throat. “I mainly feel that this scene is very fresh, something I’ve never tried before, so I want to give it a shot.”

However, in the end, the male and female leads have to kiss, and he feels that no matter who he asks, they won’t be able to kiss except for Gong Yue.

As the car continued to drive, Lin Xiatian suddenly realized a problem belatedly, “Young Master, this scene is a confrontation between the male and female leads, right? How will you divide the roles?”

“Of course, I’m the male lead, and Gong Yue is the female lead. Is there a problem?” Ye Shanshan wore a “I can’t believe you’re asking this question” expression, completely confident.

Lin Xiatian paused his game, feeling that it was better to pretend he hadn’t heard anything. After all, knowing too much was not good.

※※※

Ye Shanshan was filled with a secret excitement—although he wasn’t quite sure why he felt this excited. Upon entering the house, he found Gong Yue already waiting for him to have dinner.

Shaking off all the tangled thoughts in his mind, Ye Shanshan washed his hands first, then began circling around the house’s great demon king, asking dozens of routine questions,

“Brother, were you busy today? How’s your mood? Does your wound hurt? Did it hurt when the doctor changed the dressing? Do you miss me…”

Gong Yue answered in order, and seeing that he was about to continue asking, he directly fed a spoonful of raspberry yogurt to Ye Shanshan’s mouth, “Is it delicious?”

Instantly distracted, Ye Shanshan licked his lips and nodded with a smile, “Delicious, delicious!” He then took the spoon and fed Gong Yue a mouthful, “Let’s enjoy the delicious food together.”

After finishing a large cup of yogurt, Ye Shanshan’s appetite opened up, and he ended up leaning back in the dining chair, unable to straighten his waist. Feeling a bit overwhelmed by the amount of food he had consumed, his voice softened as he asked Gong Yue to massage his stomach.

Gong Yue agreed with a nod but only massaged him a couple of times. “You really don’t have any abs left.”

“…” Ye Shanshan looked at his great demon king with a pained expression, “Please don’t mention it.”

After dinner, Ye Shanshan followed Gong Yue to the office like a little tail, helping him with tasks such as pouring tea, reading documents, and because Gong Yue’s right hand was injured, Ye Shanshan willingly took on the task of typing, diligently and earnestly.

“Shanshan.”

“Yeah?” Ye Shanshan pressed the send button on the email, hearing Gong Yue calling him, he turned his head to respond.

“Is there something on your mind?”

“No, no…” Ye Shanshan hesitated, then continued, “Well, yes.” Seeing Gong Yue looking at him inquisitively, Ye Shanshan continued, “Today at the set, I watched the male and female leads shoot a scene, and it was brilliant.”

“Okay, and then?”

Ye Shanshan’s gaze shifted, “I just want to try that scene.”

“So?”

“So, could you act with me in that scene? I specifically went to ask the actor playing the male lead about the key points of that scene.”

Facing Ye Shanshan’s hopeful yet anxious gaze, how could Gong Yue possibly say “no”?

“Sure, I’ll act with you.”

With a radiant smile, Ye Shanshan made a heart gesture towards Gong Yue and then ran off, “I’ll go get the script!”

When Gong Yue saw the script, he remained silent for a while, gripping the pages so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

Ye Shanshan felt a bit worried, “Brother, if you don’t want to act with me, I can—”

“It’s not that,” Gong Yue shook his head, his gaze falling on the words “kiss” on the page, speaking slowly, “Shanshan, are you really sure—you want to act out this scene with me? According to the script?” He raised his eyes to look straight at Ye Shanshan.

“Yes, because this scene involves a kiss, and I can’t kiss anyone else except you, so I’m really distressed!” But he really wanted to give it a try, this kind of emotional moment he had never acted before.

Gong Yue looked at the lines marked with a highlighter, silent for over ten seconds, “No problem, let’s begin.”

※※※

With the recording equipment set up, Ye Shanshan stood opposite Gong Yue, habitually closing his eyes first to feel the atmosphere.

After a few seconds, he opened them, and both his gaze and expression had subtly changed, making Gong Yue feel for a moment that the person in front of him was very strange, no longer Ye Shanshan.

“Speak, what do you want by coming to find me?” Ye Shanshan lowered his head to adjust his cuff, his tone extremely cold, but he couldn’t help pretending to look at the other person’s shadow on the ground, just one glance, then quickly looked away.

Gong Yue recited the lines written in the script, “I’m afraid.” His tone was flat, but it was clear Ye Shanshan was already immersed in the scene.

Furrowing his eyebrows, with a hint of impatience in his tone, “If you’re afraid, stay in your room and don’t come out. What’s the use of finding me?”

Then, after hesitating for a few seconds, Gong Yue asked the next line of dialogue clearly, “Do you love me?” He deliberately omitted the “Wu Qian” address.

At the moment of asking, Gong Yue felt a surge of great anticipation in his heart. He longed to hear the answer, even if it was just in the play.

“You—” Ye Shanshan’s eyebrows remained furrowed, his tone not pleasant, “Is there any point in asking this now?”

“Yes, there is, it’s meaningful!”

After a long silence, as if conceding defeat, Ye Shanshan closed his eyes, “Yes, I love you. That has never changed.”

Gong Yue felt his breath tighten, his throat dry, but he still continued to recite the lines, “I love you too. Besides you, I can’t love anyone else.” His tone was solemn.

The

atmosphere fell silent for a long time. Ye Shanshan chuckled self-deprecatingly, tugging at the corner of his mouth, taking a step closer to the person in front of him, raising his trembling hand, hesitantly caressing Gong Yue’s face with very light pressure.

The two locked eyes, Ye Shanshan mistakenly called Gong Yue by the name of the character, feeling a sour feeling in his heart, like a sparkling wine, constantly bubbling and swirling, then bursting with a “pop.”

“Why, after all this time, are you still unwilling to disappear from my world?” A bitter taste leaked from the corner of his mouth, as if giving up, he slowly leaned towards Gong Yue’s face, finally their lips met.

Very soft.

After the brief touch, Ye Shanshan withdrew slightly, then hesitated before kissing the other person again, emitting a frustrated sigh, “See? I can’t even resist the urge to kiss you.”

However, Gong Yue didn’t respond with the next line of dialogue for a long time.

Ye Shanshan snapped out of the character’s emotions in the script, feeling puzzled, “This isn’t what’s written in the script—ah!”

Before he could finish his sentence, Ye Shanshan felt Gong Yue’s left hand suddenly wrap around his waist.

Wide-eyed, Ye Shanshan felt that something was off with this scene!

Gong Yue’s palm rubbed against his lower back for a moment, then gradually moved up along his spine, eliciting a tingling sensation that made Ye Shanshan feel like his back had never been so sensitive before.

Finally, Gong Yue’s hand brushed past his neck and reached his jaw, applying slight pressure to bring his face closer.

Their noses touched, their breaths intermingled, and Gong Yue’s gaze swept over every inch of Ye Shanshan’s facial skin before gently sighing and leaning in for a kiss.

Ye Shanshan was completely stunned because this clearly exceeded the script’s boundaries—hey, could it be that the “female lead” was ready to improvise freely? Or perhaps the “female lead” was trying to seize the position of the male lead? There was a sense of mysterious crisis!

But soon, he couldn’t think about these miscellaneous things anymore.

He could vividly feel Gong Yue’s lips pressing against his own, a warm and smooth tongue brushing against the corner of his lips, then agilely exploring further. Passing over his gums, Ye Shanshan felt a tingling sensation spread instantly, causing his brain to stop functioning, all his attention focused on every subtle movement of the other.

Feeling Gong Yue’s tongue breach the defenses of his teeth and truly enter his mouth, Ye Shanshan couldn’t help but lightly move his own tongue, only to be caught by the intruder the next second. Panicking, he made a “mm” sound, but Gong Yue kissed him even deeper, leaving him somewhat breathless—completely unable to make any sound.

In a daze, Ye Shanshan felt like he might be eaten up by the great demon king in front of him at any moment, then felt like he was about to ascend to immortality in this moment—everything felt so surreal.

His mind was a mess, but another thought popped up—oh, it’s really smooth, soft, and sweet!

Ye Shanshan’s heart had never beaten so fast before, his cheeks were flushed, his half-closed eyes misty, his eyelashes wet with overflowing tears, and his lips still moist with saliva.

When Gong Yue suddenly withdrew his tongue from his mouth, Ye Shanshan felt Gong Yue’s lips detach from his, leaving a lingering taste of reluctance. “Sorry,” Gong Yue’s voice trailed off like a hook on Ye Shanshan’s heart.

He raised his hand and wiped the wetness from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, then extended his tender tongue to lick his lips, “More.”

Gong Yue’s gaze instantly deepened, like a hungry beast about to break free from its cage.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Gong Yue suddenly moved. He grabbed Ye Shanshan’s waist with one hand and effortlessly lifted him onto the office desk, ignoring the scattered documents on the floor.

Staring into Ye Shanshan’s eyes intently, Gong Yue’s thumb glided over the wet corners of his eyes, his voice soft, as if afraid to startle something, “Do you like it?”

“Yeah, I do.” Ye Shanshan always spoke his mind, especially in front of Gong Yue, never hiding or lying. Feeling very comfortable and liking it very much, he was also particularly curious, so he was very straightforward, “So I want more.”

Gong Yue propped his left hand on the desk beside Ye Shanshan, his Adam’s apple bobbing, “Alright, I’ll give you more.”

You want it, I’ll give it to you.

Then, standing slightly bent over, he enveloped Ye Shanshan completely, as if he were his treasure, not showing a trace of color to others.

Ye Shanshan instinctively tilted his head back, his pointed chin looking very attractive, the line of his slender neck drawing attention. He slightly opened his mouth, his enchanting eyes looking at Gong Yue, humming twice with a hint of urgency.

Gong Yue didn’t want to dwell on whether Ye Shanshan knew the meaning of kissing him or not, nor did he want to ask or think about it anymore. He simply used two fingers of his left hand to gently pinch Ye Shanshan’s chin—because he had been longing for too long, he didn’t dare to exert too much force.

The two entangled in kisses for who knows how long. Ye Shanshan felt himself becoming weak in the waist and legs, feeling unstable, so he pushed Gong Yue’s chest with his hands.

Gong Yue caught those hands and then bit Ye Shanshan’s upper lip before finally pulling away, “Enough?” His breath was slightly ragged.

Feeling like he was about to collapse, Ye Shanshan quickly nodded, “Enough, enough, I feel like I’m suffocating!” He said, then took a few deep breaths to recover a bit.

Touching his slightly numb lips, Ye Shanshan felt that Gong Yue was probably indulging himself, otherwise why would he keep biting his upper lip?

He always had this feeling that he might be eaten by a great demon king in the next second, whether it’s steamed or braised.

After sitting on the desk for a while, Ye Shanshan pulled out the script that had been squeezed into the corner and solemnly criticized, “By the way, bro, you can’t improvise like this in acting, you must pay attention next time!”

His voice was soft, with a hint of nasal tone, like it was mixed with sweet wine.

Gong Yue’s gaze swept from Ye Shanshan’s lips, still red and faintly marked with tooth imprints. He responded, “Hmm, got it.”

※※※

In the middle of the night, Gong Yue suddenly woke up, feeling something wet and soft licking his lips, like a cat.

He kept his eyes closed and didn’t open them. Sure enough, after a while, he heard Ye Shanshan murmuring to himself, “Huh, it’s not coated with sugar, why is it so sweet?”

After about ten seconds, Ye Shanshan, like a cat, lightly and slowly licked his lips bit by bit with his tongue, as if savoring a delicacy, without any impatience.

After Ye Shanshan finished licking and fell back asleep, Gong Yue finally opened his eyes and looked at Ye Shanshan’s blurry profile in the dim light, staring for a long time.

Finally, Gong Yue experienced the vitality of life, staying awake until dawn.
