Stuck in a Chinese novel

"Today, we will be doing a couple's yoga." Wei Jun said with a smile. One team was obviously Xiao Heiling and Quan Kui since they were already a couple. The other team that was made was Quan Li and Zhan Yi.

As for Xia Lu, "So I'm with you then?" She asked.

"You don't need yoga." Wei Jun straightforwardly replied while pointing at the dumbbells and said, "You need muscles. Start lifting them and give me twenty reps for now." Wei Jun didn't need her to do yoga. He didn't need anyone to do yoga but he wanted Quan Li and Zhan Yi to become together and for that, physical contact was necessary or so was said by his brother.

He had no experience in love himself and all he had was the knowledge provided by his brother and he was going to apply that here.

"Now, sit on the floor cross-legged and take a deep breath." Wei Jun began while Xia Lu went to do her reps with a pouty face. Wei Jun didn't care and focused on the yoga couples.

Soon, many couple poses were formed that brought blushes to Quan Li and Quan Kui's faces. Zhan Yi was also a little bashful about them but Xiao Heiling welcomed them with great fervor and his moves were sometimes borderline molestation which Wei Jun was willing to overlook since Quan Kui herself was allowing it.

Besides, they weren't his attention anyway. His focus was straight on Quan Li and Zhan Yi. Zhan Yi showed conservation in his moves and kept his body away from her as much as he could and Wei Jun could see that that was what Quan Li appreciated more.

'Seems like brother was right.' Wei Jun thought internally. He had learned from his brother that girls didn't like forceful and rough men but gentle and understanding men and Zhan Yi was being just that right now. Wei Jun also made sure not to push them too close so as to not force any decisions onto them. He wanted to plant the idea in their minds and didn't want it to look like it was done by him.

Another thing his brother had taught him about psychology.

After about thirty minutes of yoga, he stopped with that part and then the physical training began. He didn't oversee them this time but focused on his own training. It was getting increasingly harder for him to increase even one of his stats and he wanted to invest any spare time he could into improving them and he couldn't do that if he was so focused on their progress.

The gym session today was extra intense, for Xia Lu increasingly so since she also had to focus on muscle development, it was fruitful for everyone so no one complained.

"Where were you on the night of the seventh, Mister Zhang?" Ling Mei questioned an extremely handsome man, Zhang Jie who was sitting in his chair and appreciating the otherworldly beauty in front of him.

"Let us not bore ourselves with such pointless questions, Miss Mei." Zhang Jie said.

"Oh? Then what should we talk about?" Ling Meri asked, deciding to play along.

"I think we should begin with knowing each other." Zhang Jie boldly suggested.

"I'm afraid to tell you but you are not my type, Mister Zhang." Ling Mei straightforwardly said.

"Mindsets can be changed." Zhang Jie argued.

"Not mine. Not very easily." Ling Mei maintained her façade as she replied. She was playing along but internally, she couldn't help but be disgusted with the man before her. She was afraid she would lose it so she was trying to keep it as short as possible.

"Now, would you please answer my question?" She insisted. Zhang Jie had no choice but to answer since he didn't want to anger Ling Mei. If it was any other woman, he would have treated her like a plaything but for some reason, Ling Mei was having a strange impact on him.

Something he had never felt before hence why he was willing to indulge her even though she had no legal precedent while questioning him.

"I was at a bar in Qingming." Zhang Jie replied, referring to the area where the bar was.

"Quite far, don't you think?" Ling Mei asked.

"I like going there because it's quiet and their liquor is top-class." Zhang Jie replied.

"I see." Ling Mei simply replied when she didn't pick up any sign hinting suspicion from Zhang Jie so she moved on to the next question, "Do you know a woman went missing in the same area?"

"No, I don't." Zhang Jie simply replied, not overselling his explanation at all making it difficult for Mei Ling to pick up any signs.

Ling Mei procured a picture from her pocket and showed it to Zhang Jie while saying, "Have you seen this woman?"

"No, I haven't. Is she the one who went missing?" Zhang Jie replied and asked with curiosity all over his face.

"I will be the one asking questions." Ling Mei replied with a smile to which Zhang Jie simply raised his hands in defeat.

"Anything you need, Miss Ling." Zhang Jie replied with a smile.

"I want you to come to the station and answer everything under a polygraph, would you be willing to fulfill this need of mine?" Ling Mei questioned with a fake smile.

Zhang Jie chuckled and replied, "As long as you are willing to fulfill my needs afterward."

"And what would those needs be?" Ling Mei asked.

"A dinner for starters. A coffee then maybe and maybe a date, just you and me." Zhang Jie said with a smile that would make any girl addicted to him.

Alas, it didn't have the same effect on Ling Mei who simply smiled and replied, "I think we are done here, Mister Zhang."

"AND CUT!" This time the crew didn't make a mistake and said cut on time unless they ended up incurring another wrathful session of curses from Wei Jun.

"Good work." Wei Jun said while getting up, his earlier infatuated expression changed to his professional expression.

"Wouldn't kill you to smile, you know." Xia Lu remarked, the earlier disgust was nowhere to be seen on her face either.

"Smiles can reveal one's intentions so one should always contain them and keep them hidden." Wei Jun said while ordering the setup of the next scene.

Xia Lu simply shook her head but said nothing. The next scene was Xiao Heiling and Quan Kui's where the hero, Han Shun asks Ling Mei's friend about her favorite things. Her friend, Xiao Lian who in real life was the hero's girlfriend so the conundrum was quite confusing.

But that was not the problem they were facing. The current problem they were facing was this. "You don't have to." Xiao Heiling said but his expression didn't seem remotely like someone talking to his girlfriend's friend. The same was the case for Quan Kui. She was having trouble containing her smile whenever Xiao Heiling would make a sweet mistake.

They were flirting. They were openly flirting on the set and when the fourth take was also destroyed by their flirting, the entire staff was tensed like a pole because a red aura seemed to be emitting from Wei Jun.

Suddenly, their sweet flirting was not so sweet anymore to the staff.

And the inevitable happened. The fifth take was ruined as well. And, that was the last straw.

"FUUUCCC***KKKK" Wei Jun shouted which shook everyone on the set but it did most for the two parties it was pointed at.

"Oi, you two. Flirt again on the set and I will round and ground both of you. Literally." Wei Jun said.

"Eh? Us?" Since Xiao Heiling was unaware of why Wei Jun was angry, he ended up asking innocently which only had an adverse effect on their situation right now.

Wei Jun crushed the cup in his hand as he replied, "YES YOU!!! YOU AND YOU AND BOTH OF YOU!!!!!"

He contained himself as he said with a threatening expression, "Find an empty dressing room, make-up room, container, or even a secluded corner and get that heat out of you. If you flirt on my set one more time, both of you would literally be the first couple to endure everything together.

Even hell." The last two words of Wei Jun added another feeling to his earlier statement, taking his threat to another level that caused a shiver to run through both of the concerned parties.

"Take five!" Wei Jun said out loud and everyone was dismissed for five minutes.

"Wow. You handled that pretty well. Here I thought you would tear them apart." Xia Lu teased as Wei Jun prepared himself another cup of tea.

"I am not a tyrant if that's what I seem to you." Wei Jun replied in his defense.

"Ahan." Xia Lu replied before she added, "I'll admit it, it was their mistake this time. Also, it was making me mad for some reason."

"Don't tell me you have fallen for that idiot too? I won't be able to bear another problem like that." Wei Jun said.

"God no. It's just how openly they were flirting like they didn't care for anything else. Made me want to experience something like that myself." Xia Lu said.

"Then no one's stopping you. Just make sure it doesn't get public. That would be a breach of the contract." Wei Jun focused on an entirely different thing.

"You are an idiot." Xia Lu mumbled which Wei Jun heard loud and clear but chose to ignore it.
