Episode 2: Round two, Stage Two, Part 2

"You did a great job," Lian commented to his junior as they walked into the parking lot with the others.

"Thank you, Lian," Gong Xi said with a smile.

The incident in the dressing room was instantly forgotten and Gong Xi acted like nothing had happened. A part of Shang was grateful that she was fine and had shrugged it off. The other part of Shang wished that he was the one to rescue the dansel in distress from the dragon but he knew that the roles were switched with Lian when the top actor bust through the door and took her away. Just as they were excused from the conference, Shang was the first one out and went straight to the car.

"Do you need to be dropped off at the Box R set?" Mr. Du asked.

"Mm, no. We finished our first season so we're taking a break," Gong Xi answered, "so we can go straight to the Wan Lixue set." Lian nodded, climbing in to the front seat.

The shooting of Wan Lixue came and went since the conference took most of the morning and almost half of the afternoon. Gong Xi did scenes with Shu Fang since Mulan and Ling were best friends but Mulan didn't have enough time to be with her plus her evil sister Li Mei drove Ling away. Qin's character, to her disgust, was a friend of Li Mei. In the movie, Qin - or Zhi Feng - helped bring Li Mei and Yi Chen together and Li Mei away from Jun Cheng. Even though Li Mei and Mulan don't get along together well, Zhi Feng and Mulan are on good terms -but that doesn't mean Li Mei likes it.

Director Hong Long made the Yi Chen and Li Mei scenes last since Shang couldn't portray Yi Chen's love for her. Just think of Gong Xi. Gong Xi, he chanted in his mind. He took a deep breath and looked at Fei but no emotion could show. That, and he said nothing. Again.

"Cut! Again, Shang!" Director Red Dragon ordered.

"Director, can I take a break?" Li Hua whined. "This is getting nowhere." The director sighed but excused her anyways. Li Hua gladly left her position, rushing under the tent to get a drink of water.

Why can't I do this? Shang wondered. He sat on the bench under the tree and pulled his hair. I need to show love in my eyes. How do I do that? He thought of the time he saw Gong Xi walk towards him in that angel costume. But he was between dumbstruck and awestruck that time. There was no love, just maybe admiration. Maybe back when he was just a rising star, back when he was happy he loved her. Maybe. Shang glanced at the tent where Gong Xi and Lian sat. Gong Xi talked ecstatically while Lian listened and smiled, looking at her, absorbing her words. If Gong Xi ever talked to Shang like that, he would be looking away, nodding his head to pretend that he was listening with a frown on his face. Amazing how him and Lian are opposite but falling for the same girl.

"Shang, are you sure you can do this?" his manager asked in concern.

Shang sighed. "We just had the press conference and now everyone knows that I'll be in a movie with Dun He Lian. What would people say if I quit? Besides, I can't. It's too late to back out."

"Why can't you just confess to her?" Yang asked with a tired sigh.

"Confess to who?" Shang asked innocently. Yang shook her head at his childish ways. She tapped his shoulder and pointed towards the tent, at Gong Xi and Lian.

"If you don't make your move, that guy is going to steal her," Yang said with a small smirk.

Shang frowned. "I think he already has," he said softly. Gong Xi pouted at something Lian said, making Lian smile warmly, saying something that made her smile bright. To anyone, they looked like a perfect couple.

"Dun He Lian, Gong Xi, we're going to do your scene now, if that's okay with you?" Director Hong Long said to them. They nodded, getting up together and walked to the door of the boarding house. There was cameras already set up there while Fei Li Hua and Shang took a break. "This scene, Mulan is upset at Jun Cheng because he wouldn't let her leave the house," he said, "Take your places." The door was wide open, a camera pointed at the doorway, two others in the houses in different positions. "Action!"

"Why can't I go out to see Ling?" Mulan demanded. They were standing at the top of the stairwell facing each other.

"Because it's dangerous out there now," Jun Cheng said calmly.

"How is it? I've been over her house many times. I've always walked alone - even at night," Mulan -Gong Xi- defended.

"Things are more... different now then it was then," Jun Cheng said.

He placed a hand on her shoulder. She instinctively flinched, her shoulder still hurting from what happened that morning from Shang. Mulan shrugged his hand off and stormed down the stairs and into the hallway that led to the front door. Jun Cheng followed behind, easily catching up with his long legs. Just as she reached the open door, Cheng blocked her exit, stretching one arm across the doorway. He leaned on his hand that was against the doorframe and stared at Mulan.

"Are you really going to disobey your fiance?" Jun Cheng asked in a low voice, leaning his face close to Mulan's. "Are you?"

Mulan hesitated. "I have nothing against you but I just want to know why I can't see my best friend who I haven't seen in weeks. You must understand that," Mulan pleaded. "Please, Cheng."

Jun Cheng looked away to sigh but didn't budge. "I'm still not letting you out of my sight, Mulan." The tone of his voice was possesive. He reached behind him and shut the door.

"Cut! That was good! I think that's for today," Director Hong Long said.

"Thank you, director," Gong Xi said happily, bowing in front of Director Hong Long then skipped back to the tent.

Lian watched her as she left, concern in his eyes. When he had reached for her shoulder, she had flinched. Sure, Mulan would flinch when someone she mad at tried to touch her, but Lian didn't think that it was intentional for Gong Xi. Bu Po Shang had harrassed her in her dressing room and she acted as if nothing happened. Lian saw the red marks on her shoulder -luckily she hid it before they went back in the conference room.

They all changed back to their normal attire, grabbing their things from the tent. Gong Xi was hesitant from going back in the tent. When she was at the conference, she wore a dress that covered her shoulders. Coming to the set, she changed into a more comfortable outfit that she had packed -just in case- but unfortunately, it showed her shoulders. The shoulders with the red marks on it. Gong XI didn't even know Shang would actually physically hurt her like that or even have that much strength. Then again, anyone is strong when they're angry.

Lian saw Gong Xi, poking her head into the tent. He smiled at her. "Gong Xi, what are you doing?" he asked playfully. Shang looked up from hearing Gong Xi's name.

"I, uh, was just... checking up on you guys," Gong Xi stuttered. "You know, you don't have to drive me home. I can walk home."

"It's fine. You work too hard." Lian crossed his arms. "Why don't you come in so I can talk to you properly?"

"Uh, here's fine," Gong Xi gave a fake smile.

Lian raised an eyebrow. "Are you really going to disobey your senior?" Lian mocked, stealing a quote from the scene they did.

Gong Xi's eyes widened but kept her place outside of the tent with only her head in. "I don't think that's a good idea." She unconsciously rubbed her shoulders that was covered by the flap of the tent, hoping Lian didn't notice.

He did, though. Lian took off his jacket from his shoulder and held it out to her. "Here, put it on."

It was Shang's turn to widen his eyes. Don't take it, Gong Xi, he pleaded in his mind, even though it was his fault in the first place for following her into the dressing room. To his disappointment, Gong Xi took it, pulling on the jacket. Since Lian was bigger and more built, the jacket was really big on her, the sleeves covering her hands and the bottom of the jacket passed her waist. Lian smiled at the sight, watching as Gong Xi finally walked into the tent.

"Thank you, Mr. Lian," Gong Xi said quietly, giving a small bow.

"No problem."

Mr. Du smirked, thinking of an evil idea that might help set these two up or at least get Lian to confess his feelings. "Hey, Gong Xi," Mr. Du said. "After this, Lian has a very busy day and I don't think he'll have time to eat dinner. Last time really helped him so how about cooking again?" He smiled innocently, avoiding Lian's glare.

"Really?" Gong Xi said. She really seemed like she was thinking about it. "Well, if it's alright with you, Mr. Lian."

Lian hesitated. Risk it? Backing down means proving to Mr. Du that I actually have feelings for her... right? "Sure. Of course," Lian finally said. He smirked at Mr. Du then walked out of the tent. Mr. Du hissed at him like a cat then smiled normally at Gong Xi.

Yang looked at Shang with sympathy and pity. He had to watch Gong Xi and Lian together almost everyday and he had no option of quitting the movie. Dun He Lian and Gong Xi do look good together. If an outsider were to see them together, they would think that they were a couple. Anyone could see it. It's was Shang's fault for saying those things about Gong Xi, she reasoned. He has to apologize... I wonder what that was all about. The jacket. Shang looked guilty as Gong Xi rubbed her shoulders. What happened?

A/n: Lian's manager is awesome ^^ He totally ships GongXi/Lian (Kyoko/Ren)! I'm building up the story to the part where I'll finally introduce Reino/Zhou Mi. Should I change Reino's name? If so, what name? Or should I just change it to Zhou Mi :P
