After Transmigrating Into A Scum Alpha, I Fell In Love With Her Wife - Chapter 6

After the scene ended, it was not until the script supervisor clapped the slate that everyone finally came back to their senses.

For a moment, the entire set did not know how to react.

The director’s side took the lead and started applauding.

“It’s passed!”

“It passed, it passed!!”

Throughout the entire scene, Shen Li had not said a single number. There had not been a single stumble.

Not only that, the rhythm of her line delivery, combined with her voice, did not even require dubbing in post-production.

Some details not written in the script had all been handled extremely appropriately through her movements.

And that instant when she caught the light required an extremely high level of professional skill.

Sitting in front of the monitor, what the director saw seemed to no longer be that beautiful actress who had bought her way into the production and taken money to film an idol drama. Instead, she looked like a movie queen treating this scene as a live acting lesson.

How could a person’s acting improve by such leaps and bounds in only two days?

Or was it that… this was her true ability all along?

The actress acting opposite her could not hide the surprise in her eyes.

“Teacher Shen…”

Just now, she had been completely and utterly carried along by Shen Li.

Those emotions she had found complicated and difficult to handle, the lines she had been afraid of forgetting—under Shen Li’s guidance, she had truly managed to become someone inside the scene.

That feeling… that feeling had only happened before when their professor taught them acting class.

The moment the sunlight fell on this girl in a white shirt with her high ponytail tied up, she almost felt as if she had really loved such a girl five years ago.

“What is it?” Shen Li’s attitude was gentle.

“Do you think my acting just now was okay?”

Chu Qingqing asked the question instinctively.

After asking, she regretted it a little, and her expression instantly became awkward and embarrassed.

Was she crazy? She was actually asking a Miss Numbers about acting…

Shen Li could tell that this actress probably came from filming idol dramas.

Large eyes, a small face, delicate looks, successful expression management—no matter the angle, she looked beautiful on camera.

Precisely because of this, all her acting was in her eyes. Her overall facial coordination was poor, and over time, this would turn into playing herself no matter what role she acted—wooden acting.

Shen Li thought for a moment.

“Teacher Chu, your acting is very good. After all, being able to keep going line by line against a string of numbers requires superhuman conviction.”

“…”

For a moment, Chu Qingqing did not know whether to laugh or cry. She showed a helpless expression, her whole face scrunching up.

“You look good even like this, even with your face all wrinkled.”

?

Chu Qingqing immediately widened her eyes and became alert.

“So what I mean is, being pretty enough is also a belief you should hold on to. You don’t need to worry about it every moment while acting. Compared to seeing one beautiful version of you, the audience would rather see many living, breathing characters.”

There was not the slightest bit of flattery or suppression in Shen Li’s words. It was entirely the answer she gave based on Chu Qingqing’s question just now.

Chu Qingqing looked at Shen Li’s publicly acknowledged “god-tier face” and unconsciously began thinking about her words.

In truth, many people had scolded her for stiff acting, saying that no matter what she acted, it all looked like the same person.

But Shen Li had seen the deeper reason inside her heart.

Even though her tone was plain and calm, there was a strange sense of conviction that made Chu Qingqing inexplicably trust her.

Chu Qingqing lightly cleared her throat, revealed a standard smile, and said politely,

“Thank you for your guidance, Teacher Shen. I’ll pay attention to it in the future.”

Shen Li nodded.

“You’re welcome. Film more videos of yourself without beauty filters and practice.”

Chu Qingqing: “…”

A passing male supporting actor heard their conversation and also greeted her. Curious, he stood in front of Shen Li and politely asked,

“Teacher Shen, could you give me some advice too?”

Shen Li glanced at him. They had exchanged a few lines before.

“Your acting style is very camera-friendly, meaning you have audience appeal. You can try taking on some more niche character types.”

“C-can I ask too, Teacher Shen?”

A minor supporting actress with only a few lines had been standing off to the side the whole time. At this moment, she finally gathered the courage to ask.

After asking, she nervously clenched her clothes. After all, this female lead had seemingly never looked straight at her before.

“You put too much force into your lines. You want to enunciate every sentence clearly enough, but that creates a feeling that pulls people out of the scene. However, your crying scenes are very beautiful.”

Shen Li looked at her.

The minor supporting actress was an Omega. The moment Shen Li looked at her, she did not know whether it was Shen Li’s eyes or her pheromones, but her whole body felt as if it had been shocked by electricity.

More and more people gathered around. Then a sweet, cloying voice came over.

“Aiya, what are you all doing? Why is it so lively?”

Jiang Yue stepped in wearing brown fur and high heels, sunglasses perched on her head. She pushed through the crowd and squeezed her way in.

She had no scenes today. She had come specially for Shen Li’s wrap.

Jiang Yue could also be considered a major supporting character, so as she walked closer, everyone else hurriedly made way for her.

“Teacher Shen was explaining the scene to us,” someone answered.

Jiang Yue looked as if she had heard something unbelievable. Her brows lifted dramatically, and both eyes instantly widened.

“Hahahahahaha, did I hear that wrong? Teacher Shen, explaining scenes? Shen Li?”

Many people in the crew could vaguely sense the relationship between her and Shen Li. Now that she was questioning it so openly, their expressions changed slightly, all carrying a certain air of watching a show.

Jiang Yue looked ahead, and the person surrounded in the middle really was Shen Li, with her high ponytail and pure styling.

Jiang Yue laughed freely twice and squeezed the others away even more, almost leaning against Shen Li.

“Explaining scenes? Then Teacher Shen, explain mine to me too.”

“What problems does Teacher Shen think my acting has?”

As Jiang Yue spoke, she casually pulled at the ribbon on Shen Li’s white shirt as if no one else was there.

She had just lifted the ribbon when Shen Li cleanly pulled it back and glanced at her.

“Your crying scenes are too ugly. Practice more in front of a mirror.”

Jiang Yue: “…”

After Shen Li finished speaking, she walked away directly. Everyone present froze for a moment.

Jiang Yue’s expression almost changed on the spot. She forcibly suppressed her emotions, deliberately spread her hands, and revealed an expression that seemed to say, “I really can’t do anything about you,” as if the two of them were only having a little couple’s quarrel. Then she quickly chased after her.

Shen Li did not go remove her makeup or change clothes. Instead, she first went to find the restroom.

There were too many people on set today. She did not know which Omega’s pheromones carried a floral scent, somewhat like Sheng Xing’s gardenia fragrance, and it was making Shen Li very uncomfortable.

Shen Li searched two floors, but both were full of crew members who had just wrapped. She simply pressed the elevator down another two floors.

This floor was much quieter.

Shen Li went into the Alpha restroom. Facing the mirror, she tore off the blocker patch on her neck and braced both hands on the sink, taking deep breaths.

To avoid looking bloated on camera, she had only drunk one simple packet of nutrient solution that morning.

She did not know if it was her imagination, but the scent of gardenia here seemed even stronger.

After recovering for quite a while, Shen Li took a new blocker patch out of her pocket and raised her hand to stick it onto the back of her neck again.

She washed her hands and walked out. The moment she left, she saw Jiang Yue standing at the restroom entrance with a lunch bag, waiting for her.

Seeing her come out, Jiang Yue immediately narrowed her eyes with a smile and came up to greet her.

“Li, why did you run all the way here? I’ve been looking for you for ages.”

“Need something?”

Jiang Yue lifted the lunch bag in her hand.

“You haven’t eaten yet, right? You’ve had so many scenes lately, so your throat must be tired. I personally cooked bird’s nest, white fungus, and snow pear soup to soothe your throat~”

“Delivering food at the restroom? You’re pretty unique.”

Shen Li scoffed.

Jiang Yue’s face chilled again. She looked around and, seeing no one nearby, lowered her voice slightly.

“Li, did something happen recently? Why did you suddenly… start treating me like this?”

Shen Li was too lazy to keep circling around with her.

“I’m already married. Didn’t you know that?”

The questioning look in Shen Li’s eyes even carried some disgust. Jiang Yue had not expected her to say this, and her expression changed abruptly. Forcing herself to remain calm, she said,

“Teacher Shen, isn’t it a bit late for you to tell me you’re married now?”

“As long as I’m not divorced, no moment is too late. Is that clear now?”

Jiang Yue truly could not understand why Shen Li had suddenly become like this. But now that things had already reached this point, she really could not keep pretending anymore.

“I get it. You’ve taken a fancy to someone new again, haven’t you?”

“That orange-scented assistant from the crew? That thirty-sixth-tier supporting actress who asked you to explain acting? Or the female lead of your next drama?”

She was actually starting to care?

Shen Li said nothing, and Jiang Yue grew even more smug.

“So it really is? I guessed right, didn’t I? Teacher Shen, you really can’t stay idle for even a moment.”

“Then what should we do? Why don’t you go call the police?”

Shen Li’s attitude of turning ruthless and refusing to recognize her angered Jiang Yue badly. Even the hand carrying the lunch bag trembled a little. She glanced around.

“Call the police? If I shout right here, that alone would be enough to ruin your reputation!”

Shen Li looked at Jiang Yue, and finally, a trace of confusion appeared on her bright, gorgeous face.

“Jiang Yue, how are you stupid to such an unbelievable degree?”

“You!…”

Jiang Yue was just about to curse loudly when Shen Li directly cut her off.

“From beginning to end, your only purpose in approaching me was to use me to get into Director Zhang’s production and win the second female lead role. That’s clear enough, right?”

“No… how could…”

“So you misunderstood that, Li. In this industry, that kind of misunderstanding really is hard to explain, but my feelings for you are sincere. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have clearly known…”

Jiang Yue put on the pitiful, wronged look of someone who had been misunderstood, on the verge of tears. Her two fingers once again twisted around the ribbon on Shen Li’s white shirt, and her body deliberately leaned closer.

A tea-scented Omega pheromone quietly released. Shen Li frowned, her body rejecting the scent on a physiological level.

She did not rush to push Jiang Yue away. Instead, she lowered her head beside Jiang Yue’s ear.

“You pretended to block drinks for me and got drunk so I’d send you back to the hotel, then just happened to get photographed. That was also your doing, wasn’t it?”

Jiang Yue visibly froze, then continued using her acting skills to play dumb.

“Wh-what photos? I… I don’t know…”

“You don’t know? Then you certainly don’t know that those photos have already reached Sheng Xing, right?”

“After the paparazzi you paid found out who the person in the photos was, do you think they would sell them to the side offering a higher price?”

Shen Li’s brows pressed down slightly. With every movement of her pale pink lips, she was only short of saying the word “idiot” outright.

Jiang Yue’s face went deathly pale in an instant. Even the color drained from her lips.

Who did not know about Shen Li’s habit of flirting around? Hadn’t the Sheng family always turned a blind eye all these years?

Why did it have to be her—those photos…

After all, they had not divorced yet. That was Sheng Xing, capital standing at the very top of the food chain…

For a moment, Jiang Yue felt dizzy and could barely stand. Her body swayed, and her head fell straight toward Shen Li’s shoulder.

A fresh gardenia fragrance accompanied by two clicks of high heels came from around the corner.

One step, then another. Unhurried and steady.

Shen Li raised her head. At the corner, Sheng Xing stood gracefully.

Her pure-white knee-length dress outlined her slender waist. Her cool white skin was almost translucent against the contrast of her black hair. Her brows were dark and refined, yet the color of her lips was vividly red, like a touch of spring gardenia in the snow.

Cold, noble, and naturally stunning.

Shen Li had not even had time to push Jiang Yue away before her gaze collided directly with Sheng Xing’s.
