Chapter 163: Familiarity

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The two of them were dressed in ancient attire. For the convenience of riding and shooting, Yuan Shu was dressed in military attire and her hair was tied into a high ponytail.

In ancient times, the hair of unmarried women couldnt be tied into a bun, so the makeup artist only used some hair clips to fix Yuan Shus long hair. Every strand was placed where it should be and some strands of hair were fixed above her forehead. This outfit made Yuan Shu look very heroic.

Yuan Shu held the whip that was still wrapped around her waist. She had developed a habit where the whip couldnt leave her body. After holding it, she looked up at everyone and met Mu Zhous stunned gaze.

The moment their eyes met, countless scenes flashed past Yuan Shus eyes. She wanted to remember them, but she couldnt. Every scene was fleeting.

At that moment, as if she had crossed the distance between time and s.p.a.ce, she felt an intense sense of familiarity.

Yuan Shu asked, Have I seen you somewhere before?

Mu Zhou was mesmerized for a moment. Then, he took a deep breath and looked away as he said with a smile, Yuan Shu, Im Mu Zhou. Does this makeup and hairstyle make me look very different from usual?

Yuan Shu suddenly came back to her senses and realized that she had lost her composure, so she smiled awkwardly as she said, There are some differences.

Yuan Shu couldnt help but feel a little stunned. This wasnt the first time she had such a familiar feeling. Ever since she heard the song Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix, every time she saw Mu Zhou, Yuan Shu would feel a strange sense of familiarity. Why?

Seeing that Yuan Shu was thinking about something with her head lowered, s.h.i.+ Lu asked Mu Zhou on her behalf, Mu Zhou, why are you here?

Mu Zhou smiled and said, Director w.a.n.g is an impatient person. He asked me to see if Yuan Shu has finished her makeup.

Yuan Shu replied, Alright, lets go over.

On the way to the set, s.h.i.+ Lu explained this scene to Yuan Shu, When youre filming, you have to pay attention to the emotions of the other actors. Try your best to immerse yourself in the role. Dont be too stiff

Yuan Shu listened attentively and memorized every word.

The filming of this scene began.

An old man with black and white hair, a goatee, and a rough linen s.h.i.+rt began to read the poem. After reading it, he began to explain the meaning of each sentence.

He said, The boat has already pa.s.sed the mountains. Its just a form of self-comfort regarding his own incompetence

Mu Zhous character interrupted him. Sir, I dont think so. It should be a more relaxing type of emotion

Yuan Shu listened to their conversation. Their conversation was in the script that she had just been given, but now that she saw the two of them really acting, she felt a sense of novelty and deja vu.

It was as if this scene had appeared in her memory, but she couldnt tell if it was the memory of Yuan Shu in this world or the memory of the ancient Yuan Shu.

She remembered that s.h.i.+ Lu had told her that many television dramas were very similar now. Most of the story plots were basically the same, and even the lines could be copied from each other. That was why television dramas were labeled with one sentence. This story was purely fictional, and it was purely a coincidence if there were any similarities.

Yuan Shu couldnt tell where this familiar feeling came from, so she a.s.sumed it was from a television drama she had watched.

Mu Zhou and the teacher were still confronting each other. Neither of them was willing to give in, so the situation became more and more intense.

Yuan Shu recalled the plot in her mind. After the teacher asked Mu Zhou to stand as punishment, the next scene was Yuan Shu helping Mu Zhou argue with the teacher. In the end, the two of them were punished with bathing the horses.

However, before it was time for Yuan Shu to speak, she suddenly guessed what the ensuing conversation would be like and it was a little different from the script.

According to the contents of the conversation in her mind, she said, Sir, you taught us knowledge and once taught us to be humble, but do you think youre being humble now? When facing different opinions, youre unwilling to discuss it with us because were young.. Is this your way of doing things?
