A/N: Thanks for R&R! Here's the end of episode two! For those of you who are curious and anxious to know when Reino will come in... all I can tell you that it's soon ^^ I know it doesn't matter what movie or whatever they're filming to have Reino appear but I like to keep the idea of having them on an offset filming for Wan Lixue where they meet Zhou Mi.

Episode 2: Round two, Stage Two, Part 5
Shang took in a deep breath, preparing for his scene with Fei Li Hua. This time, he will do it right. He needs to prove to Gong Xi that he is talented and not just a self-centered singer that had used her. He wanted to show her that no one knows her better than he does. No one! Not even that pin-headed Dun He Lian! He took another deep breath.
Fei Li Hua looked irritated and frustrated of Bu Po Shang. She thought that making a movie with Taiwan's top stars would be great and make her ahead of Nan Qin but it wasn't. Qin and her pink uniform friends are starring in it and acting with Bu Po Shang isn't as great as it cut out to be. Heck, she thought that those pink uniform freaks were better than him. The thing that she was curious about is the relationship between Bu Po Shang and Gong Xi and the relationship between Dun He Lian and Gong Xi. Who would like that type of girl, anyways? Two of the best looking guys in Taiwan fighting her her? Fei Li Hua scoffed at the idea, fixing herself as she sat with a book on her lap under the tree. She placed the script over her book and studied her lines since she never uttered them during the million times they had done it.
"Okay, Bu Po Shang," Director Hong Long said to Shang. "This is your last chance to film the scene. If you don't make any progress with the Yi Chen and Li Mei scenes then the premiere will be pushed to another month or so since they have many scenes together. Get your act together."
Shang nodded stiffly, taking his last deep breath in then let it out. He fixed his shirt and waited for the director's cue. Yi Chen is a servant for Jun Cheng's family ever since he was little because his own parents couldn't raise him. Shang was upset when he read about his character, not wanting to be a servant under Dun He Lian. What Yi Chen didn't know is that his father was the brother of Jun Cheng's father - which made Yi Chen and Jun Cheng cousins. In Jun Cheng's family, every male has their own soul mate, they didn't completely understand why but they just do. Jun Cheng found his soul mate in Mulan while Yi Chen found his soul mate in Li Mei.
"Lian, aren't you a little worried that the due date will be pushed to another month if Shang gets another NG?" Gong Xi whispered to her senior. The two stood next to the boarding house, a perfect view of the Yi Chen and Li Mei scene without being in the shot. She watched as Shang started to pace after director Red Dragon told him the consequences of NG'ing.
"I am, actually," Lian said. He looked down at his junior, seeing her look nervous, her eyes following Shang's pacing figure. "I'll be back," He told her, walking towards Bu Po Shang.
In mid-pace, Shang's path was blocked by his enemy, Dun He Lian who smirked at him. Shang glared at him and resumed his pacing. Lian gripped his shoulder, making him turn around to face him.
"What do you want?" Shang snapped, trying to shake his hand off. It stayed firmly in place. Lian squeezed it in a death grip, rage in his eyes. Shang started to wince under the older man's strength.
"Not so nice being hurt isn't it?" Lian said in a low voice. He flashed one of his charming smiles, letting go. Shang rolled his shoulder. "But that's not why I'm here."
"Then why?" Shang demanded, lowering his voice so he wouldn't cause a scene. "More advice?"
"Yes, actually," Lian smirked. "Don't screw this up. Remember what I told you before, think of Fei Li Hua as someone you adore - someone besides yourself. The right emotion will show up in your eyes." Lian knew that Bu Po Shang could have feelings for Gong Xi and telling Shang to think of someone he adores -that would likely be Gong Xi - but Lian knew that she was way out of Shang's reach now that they have to be a couple.
Shang glared at him. Lian gave a charming smile in return, walking away to Gong Xi who waited for him as she sat on the grass in her school uniform outfit. She picked at the grass nervously, looking up when Lian came over and sat next to her. He told something to her that made her smile then he picked up a piece of grass and flicked it onto Gong XI's hair. Gong Xi gasped, picking more grass and flinging it at Lian. They looked like they were having fun, like they were comfortable with each other. Shang had a flashback of him splashing water at a younger Gong Xi and her splashing back and chasing him.
"Get ready, Shang," Director Hong Long called.
Shang turned around and nodded at the director. Okay, Shang, picture that she's Gong Xi. You love her but she likes someone else. Someone you hate, Shang told himself. He took his position. "Action!" Director Hong Long called.
Yi Chen walked up to Li Mei hesitantly. He stood in front of her, staring. In Shang's head, he saw Gong Xi sitting on the bench under the tree reading a book. He walked up to her.
"What do you want? You're blocking my light!" Li Mei said in irritation, shooing him away like a fly. She looked and met his eyes. Truthfully, she thought that he would get yet another NG again but this time... she was astonished. Conflicted emotions of hesitation, love, admiration, and strain, showed in his eyes. Yes, he was seeing Gong Xi completely. Li Mei's eyes widened.
Yi Chen cleared his throat. "I'm sorry, miss. I just saw you out here and wanted to greet you," Yi Chen stuttered. He scratched the back of his neck nervously. Yi Chen doesn't know his relation to Jun Cheng so he doesn't know anything about soul mates. He bowed and stuck out a hand towards Li Mei. "I'm Yi Chen. And what is the name of this beauty, miss?"
Li Mei was not fazed by the compliment, faking a smile and took his hand, shaking it for a few seconds then quickly let go like it was on fire.
"I'm Li Mei," she said indifferently. She looked away from his eyes and went back to her book. Yi Chen was at a lost, not knowing how to keep talking to her without making him look like a strange person.
Yi Chen put on a smile. "Ah, a pretty rose, and that you are! I wonder..., do you like roses?"
Li Mei looked up at him in disgust, gathering her book and walked away. Yi Chen stared after her with yearning, a look of a lost puppy. He sighed, falling on the bench, burying his face in his hands.
"And cut! Now we're getting somewhere!" Director Hong Long said excitedly. "Now next scene!"
Shang quickly looked up in surprise. He had done it. Finally! He risked a glance by the boarding house. Gong Xi was smiling wide at Shang. He was actually going to smile back until she looked up at Lian and had gratitude in her eyes. It made Shang's stomach twist.
The rest of the week, they caught up with the Yi Chen and Li Mei scenes and more scenes of Mulan in the woods next to the nonexistent magnolia blossom tree that would be added by computer. Two weeks later, Director Hong Long called the cast together for news of the filming.
"Good news, team, we're going far with this. More good news, we're doing an offset shooting for Wan Lixue meaning we'll be flying to an island resort for the other half of the scenes," Director Hong Long said.
The three members of Love Me section smiled at each other excitedly. The others were somewhat used to traveling but this would be a first time for them.
"Isn't this exciting?" Shu Fang asked her friends as they sat around in Gong Xi's room. "Shooting on an island resort!"
"This movie is really a good opportunity-" Gong Xi's phone had cut off Qin. Qin looked at her best friend with a stern look.
"Sorry, Qin," Gong Xi said quiety. "Hello?" she answered the phone. It was Dun He Lian. "I'm nervous, actually. What should I bring?" She paused as she listened to him at the other end and nodded a couple of times. "Lian, have you been there before? You know, the island?"
"Are you scared that you'll be lost?" Lian teased.
"Shut up," Gong Xi muttered.
"Okay, I'm sorry. I'll pick you up?"
"Mm... Qin, do you need a ride to the airport?" Gong Xi asked her friend. Qin shook her head. Shu Fang will come with her manager. "Yes... What time?"
"Five."
"Okay, I'll see you later, Lian." They both hung up. When Gong Xi looked up, Qin and Shu Fang was grinning at her.
