Yan Yan - Chapter 60.2

Chapter 60.2

As soon as Bai Xingfan saw Su Yan, he got up from the sofa and walked towards her.

Su Yan decided to ignore him and walked towards the hotel door without looking sideways.

Bai Xingfan walked quickly to her side, no doubt: “I’ll take you there.”

Su Yan had long since guessed that he would ask about her work schedule from the director team; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been waiting for her in the lobby at such an early hour.

She firmly declined, saying, “I don’t need you to send me,” because she didn’t want to disturb him the most. She repeated her icy words, “I just need you to stay away from me; don’t keep pestering me; we have already divorced.”

“I didn’t want to pester you, but there is a high possibility of a blizzard today; when the road is closed, you will be trapped on the mountain,” Bai Xingfan said, feeling uneasy in his heart.

“Then if you go, I won’t be trapped on the mountain?” Su Yan asked fiercely.

A little nervous, Bai Xingfan said, “I’m very worried that I will lose contact with you.”

In the mountains, the signal quality is poor. A blizzard will undoubtedly cause more severe hindrance to the already weak signal, making contact loss certainty.

He had no right to stop her from working, but in such a situation, he wanted to be near her in case something would happen.

However, Su Yan was unmoved by Bai Xingfan’s words. “There are a lot of people in the crew. Even if I am really trapped on the mountain, I will not be trapped only by myself. What’s more, we have also made an emergency plan, so you don’t need to worry.”

Bai Xingfan, who knew the seriousness of this matter, didn’t back off. “Blizzard closing the mountain is a very dangerous thing. Both the rescue squad and the people on the mountain are unable to go down or climb. Due to the low temperatures and lack of supplies, abandoned people would be extremely vulnerable. You might have hypothermia, and you won’t live long if you don’t seek medical attention quickly.”

Su Yan sighed helplessly and said, “The weather forecast says there will be snow tomorrow, and we will be back tonight.”

“The weather forecast is not 100% correct, and extreme weather is even more unpredictable,” Bai Xingfan said with a small sigh. “You shouldn’t be climbing today,” he finally said after he hesitated for a while.

“Do you think we are not worried that we will be trapped in the mountains?” Su Yan asked him, looking at him blankly. “The filming schedule will undoubtedly be delayed if the snow actually occurs, and each additional day of delay will cost us one extra day. I didn’t make this decision myself; if I say no, would it be valid?”

Without a doubt, Bai Xingfan said, “No one dares to force you to go with me here.”

Hearing that Su Yan’s heart became sour, she looked at him with a sense of powerlessness and muttered, “Can I rely on you for the rest of my life? Can I hide under your protection forever and not grow or improve? This is my own work, not yours. I can’t rely on you all my life!”

When Bai Xingfan noticed that Su Yan was experiencing extreme emotional swings, he comforted her right away, saying, “I’m not stopping you from going to work; I just want to ensure your safety.”

He was not a timid person, much less one who enjoyed having wild thoughts, but the moment he met her, everything changed.

Unless he could ensure her safety 100%, he would become frightened.

Su Yan, however, refused to accept his generosity, saying, “I don’t need you to watch out for me. Our divorce was finalised already. I don’t want people to believe I’m a coward; I will be accountable for my own life safety.”

‘I fear that even Director Sun will feel hypocritical if someone, let alone me, decides not to go today due to the weather forecast.’

All Bai Xingfan could do was take the next best thing, which was to say, “Can I just follow you from a distance?”

Su Yan: “Why must you follow me around? I would prefer that you not follow me.”

All Bai Xingfan could say was, “I’ll go to work.”

When Su Yan asked, “What kind of work can you do in the mountains?” she nearly burst out laughing.

With an unchanging expression, Bai Xingfan said, “Tourism development.”

Su Yan: “…

Seeing Su Yan’s shocked look, Bai Xingfan asked, “Is everything okay?”

Su Yan was about to cry with anger because she felt this person was a paranoid scoundrel, even though she had nothing to do with him. She was unable to laugh this time. “Don’t follow me up the mountain; I will climb the mountain by myself, without your company.”

“I will not affect your work; I will just follow you from a distance,” Bai Xingfan hurriedly replied.

“No.! I’m almost twenty-six; do I need a man to follow me when I climb a mountain?” Su Yan declared firmly.

Bai Xingfan: “Why not?”

“Because I’m an independent person and not your pet. I have my own life!” Su Yan exclaimed, while tears welled up in her eyes. “I don’t need you to go everywhere with me!”

Bai Xingfan was speechless, sighed, and had to promise her, “Okay, I won’t follow you up the mountain.”

In the end, Su Yan took the crew bus to Qinglin Mountain.

However, Bai Xingfan drove the car and followed closely behind the bus.

Just before arriving at the destination, Su Yan sent a WeChat message to Bai Xingfan. “Don’t follow me up the mountain.”

The moment she sent WeChat, she suddenly felt like a rebellious adolescent girl who feared that her classmates would laugh at her for being hypocritical and incompetent because her parents cared too much about her.

The bus came to a stop in front of Qinglin Mountain’s main gate five minutes later.

Here, the signal quality seemed pretty bad, and the reply for Su Yan’s message came after some time.

Bai Xingfan: [I’ll be waiting for you at the foot of the mountain]. If it snows, don’t panic. I’ll come immediately.

Su Yan sighed lightly. ‘How unlucky would their crew be to encounter such a low probability event as a blizzard closing the mountain? What’s more, there are other tourists. If it is really dangerous, will the scenic spot still open its doors today?’

Thinking that, she didn’t bother to reply to him. She put her phone back in her down jacket pocket and went to assist the camera crew with the equipment.

Although there was a ropeway, they needed to film the scenes of the male and female protagonists climbing the mountain, so they couldn’t take the ropeway and could only shoot while climbing the mountain directly.

Luckily, the actors were in good physical condition, and nearly every shot was captured in a single take. The first sequence was successfully filmed before twelve in the afternoon.

The second scene was the scene where the male protagonist fought against the little gangster who had bullied Liu Ying.

The whole thing was supposed to be shot at night, but they were only able to modify the setting time to daylight because of the weather, which prevented them from waiting until night to shoot.

Fortunately, the sky was gloomy, so the atmosphere was not much worse than late at night.

The places with artificial plank roads were not easily filmed, so they deliberately went around the back mountain, went deep into the forest, and found a remote site to shoot.

As soon as they set everything, snowflakes floated in the air.

However, because the snowflakes were tiny, nobody seemed to be concerned, and they all focused on their task.

The snowflakes started to get larger before they knew it.

Thick goose feathers emerged from the fluffy catkins.

In a short time, the sky and the earth had turned into a dazzling white.
