Second Take On Romance - The A-List Actor Wants Me
Chapter 50 : A Little Help On The Bed

Chapter 50: Chapter 50 : A Little Help On The Bed

"Do not get too close to Shang Ruohai."

Shen Jingwei and Shang Ruohai stood side by side as they waited to shoot their second bedroom scene.

Shen Jingwei stole a covert glance at the man next to him.

What was the deal between Yan Renzhong and Shang Ruohai?

The Yan Renzhong whom Shen Jingwei knew three years ago had always been a reclusive person. He did not usually talk bad about someone behind his back.

So why did he ask Shen Jingwei to stay away from Shang Ruohai...?

After several covert glances, Shang Ruohai eventually took note.

"What is it, Shen Jingwei?" He asked, again with the dazzling but disturbing smile on his face.

"Nothing," Shen Jingwei answered, a beat faster than he intended.

Shang Ruohai’s smile morphed into a mischievous grin.

"Are you nervous about the next scene?" He teased.

Shen Jingwei scoffed.

"Why should I," he said. "It’s not an intimate scene."

"Oh, it’s not a sex scene," Shang Ruohai replied. "But it is still considered an intimate scene."

Shen Jingwei shook his head.

"I can fake an erotic moan any second of the day."

Wait. Why did his words make him sound like a professional gigolo who was proficient in all 64 arts of the Kamasutra???

Alas, it was too late to retract his statement.

Shang Ruohai stared at him as if the word "debauched" was written all across his face.

How embarrassing...

"Why, you do not look that way at all," Shang Ruohai sounded positively surprised. "Truly, appearance can be quite deceptive..."

It cannot! Shen Jingwei cried out in his heart.

I am not a promiscuous person who indulges himself in licentiousness, day and night!

Please do not see me that way!

"Cut!"

The ongoing scene concluded after Zhang Fengxi transfered his consciousness into a paper crane.

"Xie Jianyu and Xie Jianshen, take your position."

Shen Jingwei marched into the set, his limbs felt awfully stiff when he moved. Behind him, Shang Ruohai followed. He shook from head to toe as he stifled a wave of laughter.

Shen Jingwei and Shang Ruohai sat together on the bed. The red gauze curtain was lowered around the bed, effectively reducing the two actors to silhouettes.

Shen Jingwei took a deep breath.

Shang Ruohai snickered at him.

"Action!!!" Director Ma’s voice sliced through the air.

Shang Ruohai’s playful expression vanished, replaced by a stern one. His voice was soft as an omega’s, but it carried an air of authority no other omegas did.

"Go lie on the bed, let me take a look at you."

"Brother, no," Shen Jingwei recoiled from him. "It did not hurt. He did not touch me."

"Did he see you naked?"

"..."

"Little Yu!"

Shang Ruohai’s voice made Shen Jingwei flinch.

"... Yes," he answered with a tiny voice.

Shang Ruohai inched toward him. Shen Jingwei unconsciously crawled backward, until he had no more space to retreat to.

"Ah...!" He cried out when Shang Ruohai pulled at his legs and climbed on top of his body.

"Just let me take a look. I have seen you naked since birth. No need to be shy."

Shen Jingwei widened his eyes in alarm.

"Big Brother, there really is no need..."

Shen Jingwei threw his head backward and cried out, "Ahhh..."

"CUT...!"

Shen Jingwei blinked in confusion. The scene was not supposed to end here.

"Xie Jianyu, your moan was not erotic enough!"

"...."

All heads within earshot jerked towards Shen Jingwei. Without the crimson gauze to shield him, the intensity of their curious stares would have incinerated him on the spot. Yet, there was one person, whose gaze pierced through him without any barrier, chipping at his self-confidence mercilessly.

Shang Ruohai rubbed at his curling lips, amusement dancing in his eyes.

"Need some help?" He asked with a little wink.

"Are you going to moan on my behalf?" Shen Jingwei asked incredulously.

"Pffft. Of course not."

"Repeat from Xie Jianshen’s last line," Director Ma instructed.

Desperate, Shen Jingwei’s eyes darted wildly between the shrouded Director Ma and Shang Ruohai.

"Then how the hell are you going to help me?" Shen Jingwei hissed impatiently.

Shang Ruohai laughed.

"Just trust me."

"Action...!!!" The director cried out.

Shang Ruohai delivered his line again, and then...

Shen Jingwei widened his eyes in shock.

"Ahh....!!!"

A low, throaty growl, laced with desire, escaped Shen Jingwei’s parted lips. Through the crimson gauze curtain, the camera captured a tempestuous dance of muscle and sinew as pleasure rippled through Shen Jingwei’s body, shaking him to his core.

Shang Ruohai removed his hand with a knowing smile after a while.

Director Ma did not stop the shooting, which meant that he was satisfied with Shen Jingwei’s moan the second time around.

Thus the two actors on the bed continued to the end of the scene.

Some distance away, Yan Renzhong stood behind a cameraman. He watched the entire scene unfold with a cold and intense gaze.

He patiently waited until the scene concluded before he marched into the set and pulled the curtain aside.

Shen Jingwei was lying on the bed, his face suffused with blood. His eyes glazed with an unnatural sheen.

When Yan Renzhong suddenly appeared, Shen Jingwei unconsciously crawled backward like a young wife, whose husband caught her in the act of cheating.

"Y-Yan Renzhong? What are you doing here?" He stammered.

"Oh, Yan Renzhong, fancy seeing you here," Shang Ruohai said, beaming at Yan Renzhong regardless of the murder intent the latter exuded.

Yan Renzhong’s eyes flashed with fury as he seized Shang Ruohai’s arm, yanking him roughly from the bed.

"Shang Ruohai, a word."
