I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

Thus, the "late-night script reading scandal" was born, and even ten years later, neither male nor female actors could escape the impact of the "late-night script reading" incident.

"That's the script I'm going to write next, and it's called 'The Script That Shines in the Night'."

After Cheng Sheng finished speaking with a smile, he turned off the living room lights, picked Zeng Li up in his arms, and turned to walk towards the bedroom...

Day after day.

Early morning, Tuesday.

Ring ring ring!
A sudden ringtone shattered the quiet atmosphere in the bedroom and startled the two people from their sleep.

"Sister Li, it's your phone."

Cheng Sheng, who was the first to wake up, touched his phone, saw what it said, and nudged Zeng Li.

Zeng Li's eyes were glazed over as she followed the ringtone and reached for her phone.

"Hey."

"Big Pear, are you up yet?"

"Sister Mei?"

Upon hearing the other person's voice, Zeng Li instantly snapped back to reality.

The caller was Zeng Li's best friend, Mei Ting.

"I'm up."

After realizing what she meant, Zeng Li quickly replied.

"It's good that you're up. I bought you breakfast, I'll bring it up to you in a bit," Mei Ting said.

"What?"

Zeng Li was startled and sat up abruptly.

"You're so jumpy, Big Pear. Are you hiding a man at home?"

"No, no... Sister Mei, where are you now?" Zeng Li asked quickly.

"We've arrived at the entrance of the residential area."

Zeng Li breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and then said, "Okay, hurry up and come up!"

After saying that, Zeng Li hung up the phone, got out of bed, and despite her aches and pains, quickly put on her clothes, as if something was urging her on.

While getting dressed, she said to Cheng Sheng, "Sister Mei is here. I need to hurry over. My flight is at ten o'clock, so I won't be able to come over to say goodbye later."

"Look at your guilty look. Even if Sister Mei knew about our relationship, she wouldn't go around telling everyone," Cheng Sheng said speechlessly.

"Sister Mei is certainly not a big mouth, but it's better to be careful than to make a big mistake."

After Zeng Li finished speaking, she put on her shoes and hurriedly left the bedroom.

Then, Cheng Sheng heard a 'bang' from the front door, indicating that Zeng Li had already left his home.

the other side.

Zeng Li had just returned to the house across the street and hadn't even had time to brush her teeth or wash her face when she heard Mei Ting's voice outside the door: "Big Pear, open the door."

Zeng Li quickly put down her toothbrush and went to open the door.

"Sister Mei, you bought too much. Can the two of us finish it?"

Zeng Li clicked her tongue as she looked at the large bag of food that Mei Ting was carrying.

"If we can't finish it, we can just call Director Cheng over," Mei Ting said, placing the bag of breakfast on the table.

“He’s probably not up yet, there’s no need to wake him,” Zeng Li said.

"Big Pear, I've noticed something's off about you!" Mei Ting said, scrutinizing Zeng Li as she closed the door.

"What's wrong with me? I just eat, drink, and relieve myself every day! Don't overthink it."

Feeling incredibly uneasy being watched, Zeng Li said nervously.

"Then tell me, how do you know Director Cheng didn't get up?" Mei Ting pressed Zeng Li's words.

“Ah! Um… I was just guessing. Cheng Sheng is so busy every day, how could he possibly get up this early in the morning?” Zeng Li said.

"Hehe." Mei Ting smiled and didn't refute.

As Zeng Li's best friend, she had actually noticed something.

Da Lizi definitely likes Cheng Sheng, otherwise, every time Cheng Sheng is mentioned, Da Lizi's reaction is off, just like a girl in love.

Moreover, Da Lizi already has a place to live in Kyoto, and now she has bought a house across from Cheng Sheng. If she didn't have feelings for Cheng Sheng, she would have swallowed the money whole.

"Stop giggling, I haven't brushed my teeth yet! I'll eat after I finish washing up."

After saying that, Zeng Li jogged into the bathroom.

A few minutes later, I came out after washing up.

However, she walked a little slowly and frowned from time to time.

"Big Pear, are you sick?"

Seeing Zeng Li's slightly changed expression, Mei Ting asked with concern.

Upon hearing this, Zeng Li forced a smile and said, "It's nothing, it's just... it's my period."

She knew perfectly well that this wasn't due to illness or her period, but rather because she had been too rough with things the night before.

Zeng Li cursed Cheng Sheng in her heart several times over.

It's all that guy's fault for not knowing how to control himself.

Even if I have to go to the film set and won't be able to spend several days with him, I can't let myself get so worn out!
Even Mei Ting has now realized that something is wrong with him.

"Big Pear, did you and Director Cheng sleep together?"

As someone who had been through it all, Mei Ting naturally didn't believe Zeng Li's words. Besides, her period was starting, so her reaction wasn't like that. Suddenly, a thought struck her, and she abruptly asked a question.

"No, no, no..."

Zeng Li, who was in aches and pains all over her body, didn't react for a moment and blurted out, then her expression changed and she quickly denied it.

Mei Ting smiled without saying a word, her eyes fixed on Zeng Li.

Zeng Li felt her ears burning from Mei Ting's gaze. She pretended to fix her hair to avoid his eyes, secretly lamenting that she was doomed and had been exposed.

"Tell me, when did you start?"

Mei Ting said with a smile.

"Sister Mei, I can say it, but can you guarantee you won't tell anyone?"

Since it was no longer possible to hide it, Zeng Li decided not to conceal it anymore.

"Don't worry, I'm not a blabbermouth."

Upon hearing this, Zeng Li pulled Mei Ting to sit down on the sofa, and then slowly recounted the events that led to her relationship with Cheng Sheng.

After listening, Mei Ting looked at Zeng Li with envy, thinking to herself: "Big Pear is so lucky, she actually managed to win over Cheng Sheng."

It's important to know that Cheng Sheng is the top director in China, not someone like Yan Po, a newcomer director.

Moreover, according to Zeng Li, Cheng Sheng is definitely a good man.

Thinking of this, Mei Ting felt a pang of envy.

If only she had met a man like Cheng Sheng a few years earlier, she wouldn't have been hurt so deeply by Yan Po.

Even though Mei Ting felt relieved when she thought about the harm Yan Po had done to her, she still harbored a deep resentment towards Yan Po.

I'm also a little annoyed at myself for being so blind back then.

I don't know if I was under some kind of spell, but I got married to Yan Po after only a short time of knowing him.

At that time, she became a household name and a powerful actress with the TV series "Don't Talk to Strangers", and her career was at its peak.

Yan Po, a "returned overseas director" who had just returned from studying in France, had neither fame nor money, and she didn't know what had made her so foolish as to fall for him.

Moreover, after marriage, she actually chose to put her own career aside and do her best to support Yanpo's dream of becoming a director.

Every time Mei Ting thinks about this, she wants to travel back in time and slap her younger self a few times to wake her up.

"Big Pear, I'm so envious! You've got Director Cheng's big leg to cling to, so don't forget about me later!" Mei Ting said, hugging Zeng Li. (End of Chapter)
