The unofficial poster of "The Untamed" was posted by the management on IG, f*******:, and Twitter. There are lots of positive feedback from the audience especially those who have read the novel and it makes my heart glad.

What makes me more glad is that my IG followers began to swarm, even almost doubled. This novel is surely a hit!

"Xiao Zhan!"

I turned around and saw Yibo approaching me. I smiled and waved at him.

These past few weeks that we've worked together, I can feel that the wall that was once separating us from the very first time that we met is slowly disappearing...

"Yibo, how are you?"

"I'm excited and nervous at the same time."

He smiled hesitantly and showed his untarnished beautiful teeth.

I felt the same way, of course, this is the first day of our shooting. We will shoot the scene at Mo Village and I will act out as 'Mo Xuanyu', the 'cut sleeved', 'crazy' character that they depicted.

The taping lasted for 5 hours. The cast took a break first to get ready for the next location.

I roamed my eyes at the crowd, and luckily, I saw the one that my eye is looking for.

"Hanguang Jun!"

I called out at him. He was sitting alone, busy with his phone. He raised his head, waved his hand at me, and then focused again on his phone.

"Lan Zhan! I'm bored."

I sat next to him and bug him.

He didn't reply.

I tried once more.

"Lan Zhan Lan Zhan I'm bored!"

I pouted and moved closer to him.

"Zhan-Ge, you're older than me yet you act like a child.".

He chided even without looking at me.

I pouted even more and moved closer.

"But I'm a baby."

I blinked my eyes like a puppy.

He c****d his head, still ignoring me. Looking more serious playing.

"Lan Zhan, Lan Zhan. I'm bored and hungry and I might die. Look I'm dying."

He looked at me with that cold eyes of his.

"What do you want?"

He asked

"You." I grinned.

His eyes widened.

"Hahaahha just kidding. I just want to play what you're playing. I forgot my phone in our service. Can I?"

He clicked his tongue but then gave in..

"Here."

I clapped my hands and got his phone.

He's playing PUBG, this is great.

I excitedly clicked enter.

BJYX.

That's his PUBGs character name.

What does that mean?

"Lan Zhan why is it-uh where is he?"

I didn't noticed that he left my side. I looked at his game and wow he's on the highest rank.

He really does have lots of time.

I accidentally clicked the power button.

Oh no, he has a password. I can't play anymore.

I press the power button hoping I can unlock it. But then I was shocked to see his wallpaper.

Is this me?

Impossible. Why will he have my picture on his phone?

But it really looks like me though? Is it a coincidence?

"Here."

I quickly turned off the screen and looked at him. He gave me a sandwich and a bottled water.

"Eat."

I was dumbfounded for a moment then uttered.

"Huh?"

Yibo cleared his throat.

"You said you were hungry, so I brought you food."

I took the sandwich and looked at him.

"Now go and rest first. You did very well today."

He smiled lightly. My cheeks burned and I smiled too.

"Thanks Lan Zhan."

I bit on my sandwich and tried to hide my face.

Jeez, it's so hot in here.

I felt a cold breeze and realized he was holding a portable fan for me.

"It's hot in here. We need to go inside."

I nodded and followed him. I wasn't able to talk back, that was the first.

Third Person's POV

The next scene that they took is at the Buddha Mountain (Rice Mountain).

Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo are getting ready in the scene where Wei Wuxian will play the song 'Wuji' to summon Wen Ning.

The actors, while holding the portable fan, was being guided by the director on what to do like gestures, or stances they should make.

"Wang Laoshi, look I can play the flute for you."

Zhan pretended to play the flute. Yibo smirked.

"That's not how you play the flute. Give me that one."

He grabbed the flute and tried to play it. Zhan laughed at him and grabbed the flute again.

"I should be the one to play this flute. Remember you were yearning for me all these years and then suddenly out of nowhere you'll hear the song that you composed yourself. Amazing, right?"

"But you played it badly that the Juniors were complaining at you."

Yibo teased.

"I didn't play it for 13 years what do you expect?"

Zhan lightly punch Yibo at his shoulders.

"That's violence. You are abusing your power just because your older than me."

"Huh, I'm just 6 years older than you."

Zhan crossed his arms.

"Zhan-Ge is old."

He mocked.

"At least I lived 6 wonderful years ahead of you."

He hit Yibo's shoulder again with multiple punches. Yibo tried to defend the attack and continued to laugh.

"

Let's get to your proper places now. Wen Ning, don't forget to come out on time, and Juniors focus on your stances. Wei Ying also, gets ready. Now, on your mark. 3.2.1. ACTION!"

They took the first scene with the juniors. Although these actors always play around and laugh with each other, when it comes to filming, they are really serious and so good at their job.

After how many takes, the staff clapped for the successful scenes.

Zhan and Yibo together with the Juniors made their way to the rest house.

"Wen Ning that was awesome. And your makeup looks so real."

Zhan commented. The boys laughed.

"He looked so scary though, with his chains dangling on his neck."

Fan Xing added.

Wen Ning scratched his head and joined in the laughter.

"Lan Zhan, I have something to say."

Zhan moved closer to Yibo, whispering in his ear.

"I saw something on your phone."

Zhan waggled his brow, smirking at him.

"What is that?"

Zhan inched closer.

"Porn."

He whispered softly and quickly run away.

"Ya! Zhan-Ge where have you seen that? Come back here."

He run after Zhan trying to catch him. Luckily although their costumes are long, it was opened in the lower torso of the body so you can freely walk or run.

"Hahahaha secret!"

He fastened his steps away.

"Zhan-Ge come back here."

And they chased one another. When Yibo reached Zhan, he grabbed his hand and seized him.

"Hahahaha you looked funny when you panic, Lan Zhan! Okay okay, fine. I was just kidding I didn't open your gallery. I have fair share of p**n in my gallery, I won't look at yours. Anyway, what I'm curious about is this."

He stopped and looked intently at Yibo.

He was about to ask why does Yibo have a picture of him on his wallpaper, or if he was that little kid but then he changed his mind.

"What is it?"

Yibo impatiently asked.

"You like me, don't you?"

Yibo gulped and made a serious face. Xiao Zhan burst into laughter with Yibo's face and dragged him back inside the house.
