The two of them were dressed in ancient attire. For the convenience of riding and shooting, Yuan Shu was dressed in military attire and her hair was tied into a high ponytail.
In ancient times, the hair of unmarried women couldn’t be tied into a bun, so the makeup artist only used some hair clips to fix Yuan Shu’s long hair. Every strand was placed where it should be and some strands of hair were fixed above her forehead. This outfit made Yuan Shu look very heroic.
Yuan Shu held the whip that was still wrapped around her waist. She had developed a habit where the whip couldn’t leave her body. After holding it, she looked up at everyone and met Mu Zhou’s stunned gaze.
The moment their eyes met, countless scenes flashed past Yuan Shu’s eyes. She wanted to remember them, but she couldn’t. Every scene was fleeting.

Yuan Shu asked, “Have I seen you somewhere before?”
Mu Zhou was mesmerized for a moment. Then, he took a deep breath and looked away as he said with a smile, “Yuan Shu, I’m Mu Zhou. Does this makeup and hairstyle make me look very different from usual?”
Yuan Shu suddenly came back to her senses and realized that she had lost her composure, so she smiled awkwardly as she said, “There are some differences.”
Yuan Shu couldn’t help but feel a little stunned. This wasn’t the first time she had such a familiar feeling. Ever since she heard the song “Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix”, every time she saw Mu Zhou, Yuan Shu would feel a strange sense of familiarity. Why?
Seeing that Yuan Shu was thinking about something with her head lowered, Shi Lu asked Mu Zhou on her behalf, “Mu Zhou, why are you here?”
Mu Zhou smiled and said, “Director Wang is an impatient person. He asked me to see if Yuan Shu has finished her makeup.”
Yuan Shu replied, “Alright, let’s go over.”
On the way to the set, Shi Lu explained this scene to Yuan Shu, “When you’re filming, you have to pay attention to the emotions of the other actors. Try your best to immerse yourself in the role. Don’t be too stiff…”
Yuan Shu listened attentively and memorized every word.
The filming of this scene began.
An old man with black and white hair, a goatee, and a rough linen shirt began to read the poem. After reading it, he began to explain the meaning of each sentence.
He said, “The boat has already passed the mountains. It’s just a form of self-comfort regarding his own incompetence…”
Mu Zhou’s character interrupted him. “Sir, I don’t think so. It should be a more relaxing type of emotion…”

It was as if this scene had appeared in her memory, but she couldn’t tell if it was the memory of Yuan Shu in this world or the memory of the ancient Yuan Shu.
She remembered that Shi Lu had told her that many television dramas were very similar now. Most of the story plots were basically the same, and even the lines could be copied from each other. That was why television dramas were labeled with one sentence. This story was purely fictional, and it was purely a coincidence if there were any similarities.
Yuan Shu couldn’t tell where this familiar feeling came from, so she assumed it was from a television drama she had watched.
Mu Zhou and the teacher were still confronting each other. Neither of them was willing to give in, so the situation became more and more intense.
Yuan Shu recalled the plot in her mind. After the teacher asked Mu Zhou to stand as punishment, the next scene was Yuan Shu helping Mu Zhou argue with the teacher. In the end, the two of them were punished with bathing the horses.
However, before it was time for Yuan Shu to speak, she suddenly guessed what the ensuing conversation would be like and it was a little different from the script.
According to the contents of the conversation in her mind, she said, “Sir, you taught us knowledge and once taught us to be humble, but do you think you’re being humble now? When facing different opinions, you’re unwilling to discuss it with us because we’re young.. Is this your way of doing things?”
