It was only after Hua Jin had entered the bathroom that Liang Yin hid herself in a corner and started to strip.

She hugged herself and shivered lightly as she walked into the bathroom. The actor was already sitting in the bath and warm water was slowly being released into the tub. In the blink of an eye, the bathroom became misty from the steam. The bathtub was huge, a good two meters across, big enough for two people.

Liang Yin stood by the bathroom, still undecided. Even though she was currently in Hua Jin's body, she still felt a little awkward!

The actor said indifferently, "Come on in!"

Liang Yin lifted her leg to step inside. The moment she stepped into the tub and the warm water surrounded her ankles, a sense of relaxation came over her. Her desire for warmth was such that she couldn't care less. In addition, it was so misty now and the bathtub was big enough that there was a distance between them. They could hardly see each other through the steam, so Liang Yin slipped in and sat in the bath.

The steam rose from the water, forming a wall between them. Liang Yin drew her knees into herself and curled up as much as possible.

Hua Jin suddenly asked, "Are you a student?"

"No, I'm no longer one. I'm in my fourth year of university, interning.'

"Oh!" The actor probed further. "What about your family?"

"I … I'm alone."

"Alone?" He arched his brow. "How is that possible? You haven't graduated. Don't tell me you're living on your own."

Liang Yin sighed before answering. "My birth father… is abroad. My mother divorced him and remarried. She's married to another man now and lives with him. She gave me an apartment and sends me living expenses every month."

"Got it."

He tried to explain. "In the future, if your mother turns up looking for you, at least I'll know what the situation is. Otherwise, I won't be able to react appropriately. It would be disastrous if things got out of hand."

Liang Yin nodded. She asked worriedly, "Will I need to do any acting?"

"You've read the original book "Heavy Snow" haven't you?"

"Uh huh."

"Great. There's not much change in the script, as long as you're familiar with the lines."

The actor made it sound so easy, but Liang Yin felt a headache coming on.

"Did you mention that there'll be shooting the day after tomorrow?"

"Uh huh."

"But… I haven't memorized the lines!"

"After the shower, we'll work through the night, I'll rehearse with you."

When Liang Yin heard this, she still felt uncertain.

The shower area was next to the bathtub, hence after soaking for a while, Hua Jin stood up and washed himself under the shower. Liang Yin kept a close eye on him, making sure he didn't "violate" her. When he was done, she watched him walk out before she stood up, stepped out of the bath, and rinsed herself under the shower.

By the time she walked out of the bathroom, the actor was busy moving things around in the living room. He first positioned the two floor lamps opposite the sofa, then moved a small stool to the rear area on the left.

"You see these two lamps?"

"Yes."

"Think of them as two positions, camera A and camera B."

"Positions?" Liang Yin knew nothing about these technical terms.

"Video cameras, one for long shots, the other for close-ups. Sometimes, there may be other cameras in other scenes, but the two main camera positions will be directly pointed at you."

The actor pointed to the small stool and continued, "That stool there, that's the director's seat."

Liang Yin said, "Actually, I was in a play in university."
