The Road to Superstardom: Starting as a Singer

"Cut! Excellent!"

The director exclaimed, "Christine, your final change in expression was fantastic; it told a story!"

Christine breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Huang Weijie standing under the stage lights.

He was discussing something with Bruno Mars at that moment, his profile clearly defined in the backlight, focused and serious.

"Hey~ Jace, Bruno, the director said it's over!" Christine rushed over to Huang Weijie's side.

"Okay, Jace, I'll be going now. Contact me if you need any additional filming later."

Bruno Mars immediately changed the subject and knowingly took his leave. After two days of filming the music video, he could naturally tell that Wong Wai Kit and Christine had a very close relationship.

Although he is not tall, he has a high EQ.

"Okay, I won't be polite, hahaha!" Huang Weijie nodded with a smile.

As the day's filming came to an end, the city lights were already on.

To avoid potential paparazzi, Huang Weijie and Christine tacitly chose to split up.

Accompanied by his assistant and security personnel, Huang Weijie returned by car to his hotel, the Beverly Wilshire Hotel.

About half an hour later, Christine changed her clothes, put on a hat and a mask, and discreetly entered the hotel through the side door, swiping her card to go upstairs.

The suite's living room has floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the dazzling night view of Los Angeles.

Christine kicked off her shoes as soon as she entered the room, plopped down on the sofa barefoot, and let out a long sigh: "Phew~~ I'm exhausted. I've never felt this tired even while filming a movie."

"You're a professional, aren't you?" Huang Weijie handed her a glass of water, sat down next to her, and put his arm around her. "The director didn't say anything bad about your acting these past two days of filming. Without you, we might have had to film again tomorrow."

"Is this why you were chatting with Bruno on set?" Christine took a sip of water, indignant.

He's busy during the day, and he doesn't like to talk to me at night either. All he does is bother me!

"It's all for the sake of making the work better~"

"Don't touch me tonight, just focus on your work."

"Hey, you're wrong about that. It's definitely important to have a proper balance between work and rest!"

"I see you're working really hard last night, where are you getting any rest?"

"You figured it out too?!" Huang Weijie exclaimed, overjoyed. "Then you can do it yourself tonight..."

"I won't be a patient tonight!"

Christine glared at him angrily. What kind of doctor uses wax dripping therapy to treat illnesses?

Not only were they blindfolded, but they were also whipped!

That's not all. To make matters worse, at the end of the treatment, the ointment couldn't be squeezed out by hand; I had to suck it out with my mouth. My cheeks were sore from sucking it out last night...

Huang Weijie touched his nose, thinking to himself, "You weren't like this last night. You were quite cooperative then. How come you're acting like this now..."

Sigh, you really can't trust a woman's words easily. I must investigate more thoroughly in the future, or I'll definitely lose everything.

Seeing that Huang Weijie remained silent, Christine didn't take it to heart and immediately picked up the iPad on the table.

She's the kind of person who's stubborn, even when she's completely soft-hearted.

A moment later, Christine, who had just been sulking, leaned excitedly into Huang Weijie's arms, holding up her iPad:

"Jace, look at this! The data for 'What Makes You Beautiful' is insane!"

"On YouTube, it surpassed 500 million views in 72 hours! The comments section is full of your fans from all over the world!"

"It's been number one on the iTunes Singles Chart for three consecutive days! Leaving many others far behind!"

"And there's the Billboard chart! Although the Hot 100 weekly chart hasn't been updated yet, many people say it's almost a certainty for them to drop into the top 20, and they might even break into the top 10!"

As she spoke, she rapidly swiped her fingers across the screen, displaying various graphs and screenshots of comments.

Her curved eyes sparkled under the screen light, even more dazzling than the neon lights outside the window.

While some comments have suggested that Taylor Swift also played a part, Christine selectively ignored this.

In her eyes, Huang Weijie was the most amazing.

Taylor Swift?

It was just luck that I got to work with Jace!

Thinking about this, Christine suddenly realized that she was Jace's girlfriend and should be more poised, so she clicked on the comments again.

"Look at this one," she read aloud, "'Jace and Taylor's voices go together perfectly! This song reminds me of my first love, but it's even better than that!'"

"And this one, 'I've been listening to this on repeat all day, I just can't stop. What kind of genius is Jace Huang? He's a great songwriter, and he's so handsome too!'"

"Oh, this is even more interesting. 'I was originally indifferent to country singers like Taylor Swift, but this song has improved my impression of her a little. Of course, the main reason is that Jace's melody is just too awesome!'"

Christine chattered on and on, her tone filled with pride and a sense of accomplishment, as if she were partly to receive the praise.

The way she looked at Huang Weijie showed not only the affection between lovers, but also an undisguised admiration.

This boy, two years younger than her, is using his talent and hard work to create one astonishing achievement after another.

Huang Weijie listened with a faint smile on his face.

While these data and praises are certainly gratifying, his mindset has become much more stable after the explosive success of "Baby".

At this moment, he enjoyed Christine's vibrant and lively demeanor as she shared her joy with him.

"The data is good, but I believe the song 'Just the Way You Are' is also good."

Christine nodded vigorously, unconsciously snuggling closer to him, and looked up at his sharply defined jawline:

"I believe in you! You're the best in my eyes!"

Huang Weijie lowered his head and met her gaze, which was filled with a mixture of dependence and admiration. A smile curved his lips.

He gently cupped her face in his large hand, his thumb stroking her smooth cheek, without saying a word.

Christine's heart skipped a beat as he cupped her face in his hands and looked closely into his eyes, which were brimming with confidence and tenderness.

She subconsciously licked her slightly dry lips and muttered softly, "Why aren't you saying anything? It feels kind of awkward..."

Before she could finish speaking, Huang Weijie silenced her from saying anything more.

It has a soft, sweet texture with a hint of mint.

Huang Weijie blinked, as if he had brushed his teeth beforehand.

Women, they were just saying they wouldn't let me touch them, but they've already prepared themselves, ha...

Christine had no idea what her partner was thinking, but her arms had already instinctively wrapped around his neck, responding with complete passion.

The day's fatigue slowly dissipates, replaced by a sense of peace and overflowing sweetness.

For a long time, the lips are divided.

Their foreheads touched, their breathing slightly erratic.

"Are you hungry?" Huang Weijie asked in a low voice, his voice a little hoarse. "Should I order room service?"

"Mmm...no! I want to eat what you cook," Christine said in a muffled voice, burying her face in the crook of his neck.

Huang Weijie chuckled and ruffled her hair: "We don't have the facilities here. The kitchen can only cook instant noodles at most. Once I'm done with this busy period, I'll buy a house and cook you a big feast then."

"It's a deal then!"

"Hmm, you still haven't answered me, are you hungry?"

"I'm not hungry yet, but you can order room service first."

"No rush, turn around."

"???"

"Compared to before, I think I've come to like the later part a little more."

"What do you mean? Ugh! Fuck..."
