Chapter 39: Forever, My Heart Never Changing.

    阮夜笙心中那棵名为眷恋的植株仿佛因奚墨这句话又苍郁了一些。

The plant known as ‘love’ within Ruan Yesheng’s heart seemed to have become more lush because of Xi Mo’s words.

    它抽出新叶和柔嫩的花瓣, 正以一种看得见的生长速度填满着阮夜笙。这种生长那么迅速, 甚至让阮夜笙差点无法把控它，仿佛稍微一分神，她就有些抑制不住这种抽叶开花的悸动了。

It grew out new leaves and tender petals, filling up Ruan Yesheng at a visible growth rate. This kind of growth is so fast that Ruan Yesheng almost couldn’t control it. It’s as if she can’t contain the growing of the leaves and flowers the moment she is just a little distracted.

    “那我等你。”阮夜笙依然保持着微笑：“等到能告诉我的那一天。”

“Then I will wait for you.” Ruan Yesheng still kept smiling. “Until the day you can tell me.”

    奚墨只是看着她。

Xi Mo just looked at her.

    阮夜笙很少见过她像现在这样看着自己, 这目光有些复杂。虽然不明白奚墨此刻在想些什么, 但阮夜笙明白一点, 她喜欢奚墨这样看着她。

Ruan Yesheng has rarely seen Xi Mo looking at her like this with a slightly complicated gaze. Although Ruan Yesheng didn’t know what Xi Mo was thinking about right now, she knows one thing. She likes having Xi Mo look at her like that.

    “时间要到了，去片场吧。”奚墨站起来, 望着那边粉丝们送的一大堆礼物：“你让路清明过来把这些分类一下, 他知道怎么做。”

“It’s almost time. Let’s go to the set location.” Xi Mo stood up. Looking at the pile of gifts from her fans over there, she said, “Ask Lu Qingming to come and sort these things out, he knows how to do it.”

    阮夜笙点点头, 跟着她一起去片场。

Ruan Yesheng nodded and followed her to the set.

    夜戏的时候奚墨和阮夜笙状态都很好, 林启堂挺满意，拍掉几场常规戏之后，还有一场定厄夜间给邓绥卸妆的戏留到最后。

When filming the night scenes, Xi Mo and Ruan Yesheng were both in good condition. Lin Qitang was very satisfied. After a few regular scenes were shot, there was still a scene where Ding E removed Deng Sui’s makeup at night which was left to the end.

    梳妆师过来将奚墨原本梳好的头发散了，给她在后面用丝缎挽了一下，在临近肩后的位置束了起来，简单大方。原本定厄这个角色形象就不事雕琢, 平常的妆容也是比较淡的, 梳妆师现在将奚墨脸上的妆又换得更淡了一点, 几乎是素颜了, 但是阮夜笙这副身子原本的肌肤底子实在太好, 灯光照过来的时候, 依然光彩斐然, 不可方物。

The stylist came over and loosened Xi Mo’s originally combed hair. Using a piece of silk to hold together her hair, the stylist tied the hair near Xi Mo’s shoulder, resulting in a simple and natural look. Ding E’s character appearance doesn’t have much changes in the first place and usually has relatively light makeup. The stylist made the make up on Xi Mo’s face even lighter this time, Xi Mo almost had no make-up on. Nevertheless, this body of Ruan Yesheng has very good skin as a base. When the light shone on it, it was still brilliant and indistinguishable.

    而阮夜笙就暂时先不需要卸妆, 现在她需要的是坐在寝宫内院的石凳上，摄影机在她周围取景。剧情发展到这幕的时候，因为小阴氏从中作梗，邓绥和刘肇之间有了误会嫌隙，邓绥被禁足在寝宫，心情郁郁。

On the other hand, Ruan Yesheng doesn’t need to remove her makeup for the time being. Now, all she needs to do is to sit on a stone bench in the inner courtyard of the sleeping courtyard while the camera films the view around her. At this point of the story plot development, there is some misunderstanding and dislike between Deng Sui and Liu Zhao due to little Empress Yin’s interference, causing Deng Sui to be imprisoned at the sleeping courtyard and feeling depressed.

    但凡宫廷剧总少不了入宫后的主角被君王禁足的戏码，有的倒霉的还能给禁足好几回，然后主角再依靠各种手段翻盘，好像这样才有冲突起伏，也不知道是谁规定的。

In every palace drama, there would always be the scene of the protagonist being grounded by the king in the palace. Those who were unlucky may even be grounded for more than a few times. Then, the protagonist would rely on various methods to turn the tables. It’s as if conflict would only happen this way. Who knows who set these rules?

    奚墨提着灯笼，手里搭着斗篷走进摄影区域，来到阮夜笙身后，替她将斗篷披上，低低道：“贵人，夜了，该歇息了。”

Xi Mo held up a lantern and walked into the filming area with a cloak hanging over her hands. When she reached behind Ruan Yesheng, she helped her put on the cloak and said softly, “Lady, it’s night time. It’s time to rest.”

    夏日的夜晚闷热难当，原本剧组演员们穿着层叠拘谨的汉朝戏服就要闷出邪火，可依然还是要忍受，更何况剧本里的季节变换，即使现在那么炎热，也必须得演出一个夜风萧瑟的凄伤感来。

Summer nights are sweltering. The actors were suffocating having to wear layers of the Han dynasty costume, but they still have to bear with it. The seasons also change within the script. Even though it was so hot right now, they still had to act out the sadness when subjected to the night wind.

    阮夜笙伸手搭了搭斗篷，回头看着奚墨。

Ruan Yesheng stretched out her hand to adjust the cloak and looked back at Xi Mo.

    奚墨目光略微一飘，瞥到阮夜笙被几层衣襟包裹的脖颈上已经热得沁出了一层汗。

Xi Mo’s eyes flickered slightly and saw the layer of sweat forming on Ruan Yesheng’s neck due to being wrapped in layers of clothes.

    虽然这时候邓绥心情不太好，不过对着定厄她总是巧笑嫣然的，阮夜笙回头笑道：“说了几百回了，私下里莫要唤我贵人，依然同家中那般唤小姐便好。”

Although Deng Sui was currently in a bad mood, she always smiled sweetly towards Ding E. Ruan Yesheng smiled and said, “I’ve already said it many times not to call me ‘lady’ in private. Just call me ‘miss’ like you did back at home.”

    “奴婢不敢。”

“Servant dares not.”

    “在我面前你不必有什么不敢的。这也没旁的人，贵人就留着在人前唤罢。”

“You don’t have to be afraid in front of me. There is no one else around, calling me by ‘Lady’ can wait for when there are others around.”

    奚墨躬身道：“是，贵人。”

Xi Mo bowed and said, “Yes, lady.”

    阮夜笙掩着唇笑起来，笑了一会才望着她，低低道：“你这个木头。”

Ruan Yesheng covered her lips and smiled. After a while, she looked at her and said in a soft voice, “You blockhead.”

    奚墨想起之前午饭之后阮夜笙也和她说过她就是个木头，再听到这句台词时，眼里神色有点晃。

Xi Mo remembered Ruan Yesheng saying that she was a blockhead after their lunch earlier. When she heard this line again, she became a little dazed.

    往常她演戏时几乎不会分心，也自认没什么可以干扰到拍戏的她，现在和阮夜笙对戏的时候，她脑海里的想法却不是让自己快速沉入到定厄这个角色里，而依然还是想着身为奚墨时的那些现实思绪，不由有点尴尬。

Usually, she is hardly distracted when acting and feels that nothing could disturb her during acting. Now that she was acting with Ruan Yesheng, quickly immersing herself into the role of Ding E wasn’t what’s on her mind. Instead, she was still thinking about her real thoughts as Xi Mo. She couldn’t help but feel embarrassed about it.

    阮夜笙会让她分心。

Ruan Yesheng could distract her.

    会干扰她。

Ruan Yesheng could disturb her acting.

    发现这一点的时候，奚墨更加尴尬了。更可怕的是，这种干扰是安静的，没有缘由的，它像看不见的烟雾一样弥漫过来，阮夜笙本人都根本不知情。

When Xi Mo realized this, she became even more embarrassed. The scary thing is that this sort of disturbance is silent and without reason. It engulfed her like an invisible mist and Ruan Yesheng herself didn’t even know what she did.

    阮夜笙尚在邓绥这个角色里，她正眼神流波，笑望着她。

Ruan Yesheng was still in her role as Deng Sui and looking at her with a smile.

    “咔！”林启堂叫停了。

“Cut!” Lin Qitang shouted for them to stop. 

    奚墨和阮夜笙同时停了下来。

Xi Mo and Ruan Yesheng stopped at the same time.

    林启堂道：“阮夜笙怎么不接台词？忘词了？”

Lin Qitang said, “Ruan Yesheng, why didn’t you continue with the lines? Did you forget them?”

    “不好意思林导。”奚墨赶紧道：“刚才突然卡住了。”

“Sorry director Lin.” Xi Mo hurriedly said, “I suddenly got stuck.”

    在林启堂眼中，这个他亲自选进来的“阮夜笙”一直以来都表现得非常好，外貌抓人，演技出众，很少会有出错或者接不上台词的情况，开拍到如今，一直认为自己是押对宝了。既然是押对的宝，喜欢捧人的林启堂对这个宝自然也挺客气的，朝奚墨说道：“没事，再来一次，这次注意了。”

For Lin Qitang, this “Ruan Yesheng” he personally selected has always performed very well. She has an eye-catching appearance and her acting is outstanding. She rarely made mistakes or missed her lines. From the start of filming until now, he always felt that he found a treasure. Since it was a treasure he found, Lin Qitang, who likes to raise newcomers, was naturally quite polite with her. He said to Xi Mo, “It’s okay. Let’s do it again. Pay attention this time.”

    重来一遍，阮夜笙有些嗔怪地笑道：“你这个木头。”

They started filming again. Ruan Yesheng said with a rebuking smile, “You blockhead.”

    “……是，小姐。”奚墨低头垂眸，一贯谦卑冷静的模样，声音倒是温和的：“我是木头。”

“… Yes, miss.” Xi Mo lowered her head, looking humble and calm. However, her voice was gentle when she replied, “I’m a blockhead.”

    阮夜笙伸出了手，奚墨伸手握住她，将她扶起来，送她回寝宫。

Ruan Yesheng reached out her hand. Xi Mo stretched out her hand to hold her, supporting her as she walked her back to the bedroom.

    几台摄影机一直追在她们身后跟拍，特写她们的脚步和摇晃的灯笼。进了寝宫，机位变换，阮夜笙对着铜镜坐了下来，奚墨在她后面弯下腰，将她垂落的宫服裙摆细心地整理好，然后开始替她取下头上的珠钗头饰，分类放在首饰盒里。

Several cameras chased after them and did a close up on their walking and the swaying lantern. When they entered the bedroom, the camera angle changed. Ruan Yesheng sat down facing the bronze mirror. Behind her, Xi Mo bent over and carefully arranged the hem of her dangling palace dress. Then, she started removing the pearl hairpins on Ruan Yesheng and placed them into the jewelry box.

    桌上好几个首饰盒，里面头钗耳坠手镯晃人眼眸，都是刘肇赏赐给邓绥的。

There were several jewelry boxes on the table. The hairpins, earrings and bracelets inside were all dazzling to the eye and were all given to Deng Sui by Liu Zhao.

    阮夜笙默默看着那些首饰。

Ruan Yesheng looked at those jewelry silently.

    奚墨替她卸了装饰之后，着手又替她梳头，白皙修长的手指穿插来回，衬着阮夜笙乌黑的长发。

After removing those adornments for her, Xi Mo started to help her comb her hair. White slender fingers interspersed back and forth against Ruan Yesheng’s long black hair.

    “明日便不要梳这么复杂的妆了，简单些来得好。”阮夜笙叹道：“反正也无人来看了。”

“Don’t help me with such complicated adornments tomorrow. A simple one is enough.” Ruan Yesheng sighed, “No one is going to see them anyway.”

    她从首饰盒里拿起一支玉钗，掂在手中看了片刻，又自嘲般将那支钗随手丢开：“以色事人，终不长久。”

She took out a jade hairpin from the jewelry box, holding it in her hands to take a look. After looking at it for a while, she threw the hairpin away in a self-deprecating way. “It never lasts long using one’s beauty to win the favor of others.” 

    奚墨道：“小姐梳这样的妆，看着精神些。小姐精神些，那就很好，我来替你梳妆，不费事的。”

Xi Mo said, “Miss looks more spirited with this kind of adornment. It’s good if Miss is in good spirits. I will help you with it. There’s no trouble at all.”

    阮夜笙侧过身子，回头看着她，过了一会说：“我不愿我事他人，愿他人事我，若当真有这一天，你觉得如何？”

Ruan Yesheng turned to look at her. After a while, she said, “I don’t wish to go along with others’ wants, but I wish for others to go along with my wants. How would you feel if such a day truly comes?”

    这是剧里邓绥第一次自主意识的明显展现，她谁也不说，只放心告诉定厄。她不甘心屈居这狭窄闭塞的后宫，君王笑，她才能笑，君王离，她便什么也不是了，像个没有任何依托的浮萍一样活着，她不甘心。

This was the first time in the script that Deng Sui clearly expressed her self-consciousness. She did not tell anyone about this and only felt at ease to tell Ding E. She is unwilling to succumb herself to this jealousy filled and restrictive imperial harem. She can only laugh if the king laughs. And if the king leaves, then she’s nothing. She is unwilling to live on like a duckweed that has nothing to rely on.

    奚墨停下梳头的动作，手里拿着梳子站在那。

Xi Mo’s combing action stopped and she stood there holding the comb.

    阮夜笙噗嗤一笑：“这般大逆不道的话，我会被杀头么？”

Ruan Yesheng puffed out a laugh, “Will I be beheaded for saying such outrageous words?”

    奚墨朝她跪了下来，低声道：“他人我不知如何，也不关心。然我愿事小姐，永永远远，不改此心。”

Xi Mo knelt down facing her and said softly, “I don’t know nor care about others. However, I’m willing to serve Miss forever, my heart never changing.”

    在不远处围观全程的冯唐唐忍不住从椅子上站起来了。每次奚姐和阮阮两个人一对戏，过程都是如丝般顺滑，很少有卡戏的时候，这次不用说也是可以一条过的。

Feng Tangtang, who was watching the whole process from a distance, couldn’t resist standing up from her chair. Every time Sister Xi and Ruan Ruan act together, the process is as smooth as silk. There were rarely any ‘cuts’. Needless to say, they also passed in one take this time.

    她一边咂摸着戏里邓绥和定厄的这种主仆情深，一边又觉得这也太情深了，尤其对面奚姐和阮阮两人对戏时候那种眼神交换，台词动作，彼此契合的气息都像是可以发酵出来，弥漫整个片场。

On one hand, she carefully discerned the deep master and servant relationship between Deng Sui and Ding E in the show. On the other hand, she felt that their relationship was too deep. It was especially so with Sister Xi and Ruan Ruan’s acting. Their exchanged glance, reciting of lines and actions were so fitting with each other it’s as if the atmosphere would burst forth and engulf the entire set location.

    这条过了，林启堂叫了停，梳妆师赶紧上去给阮夜笙卸妆。

After this scene was over, Lin Qitang called for them to stop. The make-up artist hurried forward to help Ruan Yesheng remove her makeup.

    古代的胭脂水粉是可以水洗的，待会剧情里定厄需要给邓绥洗脸卸妆，阮夜笙不可能顶着现代的这种不溶水的戏妆面去洗脸，必须在洗脸前卸掉，不然那样就穿帮了，这点林启堂还是比较讲究的。

The rouge of ancient times can be washed away by water. In the later scene, Ding E will need to help Deng Sui wash her face and remove her makeup. There’s no way Ruan Yesheng could wash her face while wearing the modern times water-insoluble makeup, so it has to be removed before their face washing scene. Otherwise, everything would be exposed. Lin Qitang is particular about this.

    阮夜笙卸完妆之后继续开拍。奚墨帮她除去最外面穿的那层宫服，留下中衣，端了水过来给她洗了脸，又拿手巾轻轻擦干她的脸颊。

The filming continued after Ruan Yesheng’s makeup was removed. Xi Mo helped her remove the outermost layer of the palace clothing and left the inner wear on. She brought water over to help Ruan Yesheng wash her face, then used a towel to gently dry her face.

    擦脸的时候阮夜笙的发丝有些乱了，贴黏在耳畔，奚墨看了一眼，抬手将她这几缕乱发轻轻拂开了。

When Xi Mo was wiping Ruan Yesheng’s face, her hair became a little messy and got stuck to her ear. Xi Mo saw it and raised her hand to gently brush away these few strands of messy hair.

    阮夜笙心里一动，也看了她一眼。

Ruan Yesheng was inspired and also gave Xi Mo a glance.

    这个动作剧本里没有安排，完全是奚墨临场发挥的，林启堂觉得这十分自然，也没有喊停。

There was no such action in the script. It was all improvised by Xi Mo. Lin Qitang felt that it was very natural, so he didn’t shout to cut.

    洗完脸，阮夜笙道：“定厄，你也描妆打扮一下罢？你总是这般，太素了。”

After Xi Mo was done washing her face, Ruan Yesheng asked, “Ding E, why don’t you do some make-up and dress up a little as well? You’re always dressed like this, it’s too plain.”

    奚墨演出了定厄当时那种略显惊讶的姿态，拿着手巾后退两步，又带着点藏在闷不吭声中的羞涩扭捏，摇摇头道：“反正也没有人看奴婢，就不必了。”

Xi Mo acted out Ding E’s slightly surprised posture and retreated backwards while holding the towel. And with shyness and embarrassment that was hidden in silence, she shook her head and said, “There’s no need. No one looks at this servant anyway.”

    “我看。”阮夜笙笑了笑，在首饰盒里翻出一只玉扣来。

“I do.” Ruan Yesheng smiled and dug out a jade safety button from her jewelry box.

    绥廷剧组的道具还是很考究的，重要角色用到的道具都是特别定制的，这只玉扣在剧里作为邓绥送给定厄的礼物，后面定厄一直带着，所以这道具也做得很用心，虽然不贵重，但是也是用的真玉定做，很精致。

The props used by Sui Ting’s crew can be considered quite particular. The props used by the important characters are specially customized. In this show, the jade safety button was used as a gift that Deng Sui has given to Ding E. In the later scenes, Ding E is always carrying it. Therefore, this prop was made with great care. Although it wasn’t expensive, it was still made with real jade and is very exquisite.

    阮夜笙走到奚墨背后，将她束发的丝缎拆了，用玉扣将她的长发依照之前的方式束了起来。

Ruan Yesheng walked behind Xi Mo and removed the silk tying her hair. Then, she used the jade safety button and tied her long hair back the way it was before.

    冯唐唐看到这里，突然有点觉得这两人暧昧得没眼看，她扫了一眼在场的工作人员，工作人员都看呆了，估计也是没眼看。

When Feng Tangtang saw this, she suddenly felt that the two were too ambiguous, it was unbearable to look at. She glanced around at the other staff on scene. The other staff were also stunned, probably finding it too much as well. 

    不管是定厄和邓绥，还是奚姐和阮阮，气氛都怪怪的。

The atmosphere was weird, regardless whether it was Ding E and Deng Sui, or sister Xi and Ruan Ruan.

    虽然没眼看，冯唐唐还是分外想看，并且对眼前这一幕莫名地激动起来。她脸颊通红，盯着奚墨和阮夜笙，目不转睛的，如果现在有一面应援旗在手，她肯定会为拍戏的那两人摇旗呐喊。

Although it was unbearable to watch, Feng Tangtang still wanted to watch very much. She was inexplicably excited by the scene in front of her. Her cheeks were flushed as she stared intently at Xi Mo and Ruan Yesheng. If she had a cheering flag with her now, she would definitely cheer for the two who are filming.

    “你感冒发烧了吗？”旁边顾栖松硬邦邦道。

“Do you have a cold or fever?” Gu Qisong, who was by the side, asked stiffly.

    “没有啊。”冯唐唐不解地侧过脸。

“No?” Feng Tangtang looked over in confusion.

    “你脸红得不自然。”顾栖松身为保镖，对一切异样都很谨慎：“发烧了，你要吃药。”

“Your face is unnaturally red.” As a bodyguard, Gu Qisong is very cautious about any abnormal occurrence. “If you have a fever, you need to take medicine.”

    冯唐唐：“……”

Feng Tangtang: “…”

    顾栖松重新看向奚墨和阮夜笙那个方向，依然是棒槌语气：“林导前阵子在片场喊什么羁绊，我不懂，去查了下。她们现在这种是羁绊吗？”

Gu Qisong looked in the direction of Xi Mo and Ruan Yesheng again. He asked while still speaking in that stiff tone, “Previously, director Lin had shouted something about bonds. I didn’t understand, so I went to search about it. Is what they have now a bond?”

    “是……是吧。”冯唐唐一脑门的汗，心想顾哥帅是帅的，就是有时候难以用正常人的思维去和他交流。

“I… I guess.” Feng Tangtang’s head was full of sweat. She thought: Brother Gu is handsome, but it is difficult to communicate with him in a normal way sometimes.

    收工后，阮夜笙在奚墨的陪同下回到酒店，顾栖松在后面不远不近地跟着，阮夜笙打发走了顾栖松，站在房间门口对奚墨道：“路清明把那些礼物都整理好了，大部分已经带走，还剩下一小部分在我房里，基本都是手工做的，还有写给你的信，你要来看看么？”

After finishing work, Ruan Yesheng returned to the hotel with Xi Mo. Gu Qisong followed after them. After dismissing Gu Qisong, Ruan Yesheng stood before her hotel room and said to Xi Mo, “Lu Qingming sorted out the gifts. Most of them have been taken away, but a small amount is left in my room. They are mostly handmade items and letters written to you. Do you want to take a look?”

    “可以看看。”其实这种只要有空都可以看，并不一定要拘泥于此刻，但是面对阮夜笙的邀请，奚墨发觉自己有点难以拒绝她。

“Sure.” Actually, this kind of thing can be done whenever she was free and it wasn’t necessary for her to do it now. However, Xi Mo found it difficult to reject Ruan Yesheng’s invitation.

    阮夜笙眼中溢出喜色，请奚墨进去。奚墨沉默地坐下来，阮夜笙将装有手工小礼物和书信的小纸箱摆在她面前，说：“路清明也没说什么，就只把这些留下来了，我猜是你以前有看粉丝书信和手工礼物的习惯。”

Ruan Yesheng’s eyes overflowed with joy, and Xi Mo was invited to enter. Xi Mo sat down silently. Ruan Yesheng placed a small cardboard box containing small handmade gifts and letters in front of her and said, “Lu Qingming didn’t say anything and just left these behind. My guess is that you used to look at fan letters and handmade gifts.”

    奚墨淡淡道：“写信和做手工挺费心的。”

Xi Mo said lightly, “Writing letters and creating handmade gifts requires quite a bit of effort.”

    阮夜笙坐在她边上，托腮看着她：“难怪她们那么崇拜你。”

Ruan Yesheng sat beside Xi Mo and looked at her with her palm on her chin and cheeks. “No wonder they adore you so much.”

    奚墨补充一句：“也不是全看，没那么有时间。就得空的时候随机挑选一些，那么多全部看完也不现实。”

Xi Mo added, “I don’t look at all of them. I don’t have that much time. I just pick a few random ones to see when I’m free. It’s unrealistic to look through all of them when there’s so many.”

    阮夜笙依然还是保持托腮的姿态。

Ruan Yesheng still maintained her posture of holding her chin and cheek.

    “别拿这样的眼神看过来。”奚墨瞥她一眼：“有点肉麻。”

“Don’t look at me like that.” Xi Mo gave her a glance. “It’s a little mushy.”

    “这就是崇拜的眼神。”阮夜笙促狭道。

“This is my look of worship.” Ruan Yesheng said teasingly.

    奚墨冷笑：“你又不是粉丝，崇拜什么？”

Xi Mo sneered, “You’re not my fan, what’s there to worship?”

    阮夜笙却说：“你站起来。”

However, Ruan Yesheng said, “Stand up.”

    奚墨皱了皱眉。

Xi Mo frowned.

    “你站起来呀。”阮夜笙催她，同时站起身来。

“Stand up?” Ruan Yesheng urged her and stood up at the same time.

    这声催促好像糅杂了一星半点撒娇的意味，阮夜笙说话语气本来就柔中带媚，这一点点的撒娇滋味是暗敛其中的，丝丝缕缕地随着她的声音入了骨，比直接的撒娇更让人扛不住。

This urging seems to be mixed with a hint of coquettishness. Ruan Yesheng’s speaking tone has always been soft and charming. This hint of coquettishness was hidden in it, penetrating Xi Mo along with her voice. It was much harder to bear than direct coquettishness.

    奚墨默默站了起来，站得笔直，看着阮夜笙的眼睛：“做什么？”

Xi Mo stood up silently. She stood up straight and looked into Ruan Yesheng’s eye. “What are we doing?”

    “抱抱啊。”阮夜笙笑道。

“Hugging.” Ruan Yesheng said with a smile.

    奚墨：“……”

Xi Mo: “…”

    阮夜笙其实心里忐忑不已，害怕她会拒绝，嘴上却还是说：“你不是说粉丝提出拥抱的要求，只要在礼貌的范畴内，你可以接受么？”

Ruan Yesheng was actually feeling quite uneasy, afraid that she would refuse. However, she still said, “Didn’t you say that fans’ requests for hugs are acceptable as long as they are polite and respectful?

    奚墨只是看着她，不说话。

Xi Mo just looked at her but didn’t speak.

    “我说过，我也是你的粉丝。能抱我一下么？”

“I’ve said that I’m your fan too. Can you give me a hug?”

    阮夜笙脸上挂着笑，心里却已经做好了会被拒绝的准备。奚墨向来不喜欢和其他人有什么亲密接触，拍戏的时候连吻戏都从来不接，更别说其他的，也亏了她家世好后台硬，不然她对接戏有这么多讲究，很难在娱乐圈混。

Ruan Yesheng had a smile on her face, but she was mentally prepared to be rejected. Xi Mo has never liked having close contact with other people. When acting, she has never accepted roles with kissing scenes, not to mention other actions. Fortunately, she has a strong family background. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for her to last in the entertainment circle with how picky she is with her role.

    如果她拒绝了，那也没关系。

It’s fine even if she rejects this.

    阮夜笙有点可悲地心想，自己待会可以敷衍过去，应该不至于尴尬。

Ruan Yesheng thought sadly: I’ll just act casual about it later. It shouldn’t be too awkward.

    奚墨走到了阮夜笙面前。奚墨原本那副身子的身高比阮夜笙要略高一点，换身体后身高对调，她现在看阮夜笙的时候只得略微抬了抬眸。

Xi Mo walked to Ruan Yesheng. Xi Mo’s original body is slightly taller than Ruan Yesheng. After exchanging their bodies, their heights were reversed, so she had to raise her eyes slightly when she looked at Ruan Yesheng now.

    “伸手。”她说。

She said, “Raise out your hands.”

    阮夜笙目光有些错愕：“……”

Ruan Yesheng looked a little stunned. “…”

    “你不伸手，怎么抱我？”奚墨道。

Xi Mo said, “How would you hug me if you don’t raise out your hands?” 

    阮夜笙怔了怔，跟着缓缓伸出了手。眼看着她的手就要攀上奚墨的后背，却又悬在半空停住了，那样的紧张，紧张到这个即将要拥抱上的动作都不足以承载她那更加小心翼翼的希冀。

Ruan Yesheng was stunned. Then, she slowly extended her hands. Her hands were about to reach Xi Mo’s back, but it stopped mid-air. She was so nervous, her act of hugging that was on the verge of happening wasn’t enough for her to bear her increasingly cautious hope.

    奚墨察觉到她的停顿，抬起手，轻轻回抱住了她。

Noticing her pause, Xi Mo raised her hands and gently hugged her back.

    奚墨抱得没有犹豫，双手圈着阮夜笙的身子，双手覆在她后背上，隔着后背，甚至能感知到阮夜笙那过速了的心跳。

Xi Mo hugged Ruan Yesheng without hesitation, wrapping her arms around Ruan Yesheng’s body and her hands on Ruan Yesheng’s back. Through Ruan Yesheng’s back, she could even feel Ruan Yesheng’s over speeding heartbeat.

    这一瞬，阮夜笙感觉整个世界都放空了，她的双手得以在奚墨抱过来的回应中放下来，紧紧地扣住奚墨的背。

At this moment, Ruan Yesheng felt that the whole world was empty. In response to Xi Mo’s embrace, she finally placed down her hands and clasped Xi Mo’s back.
