Huayu 16: I Became the Dream-Fulfilling Master for Young Actresses

"Break up?! Say that again, Chen Xingzhou! What right do you have to break up with me?!"

Bai Mengyan clutched the hem of Chen Xingzhou's hoodie, sobbing uncontrollably.

Hearing the familiar voice, Chen Xingzhou was stunned.

The feeling of weightlessness from being hit by the truck seemed to linger in my limbs and bones.

It took him a while to come to his senses, and his gaze slowly focused on the girl in front of him whose eyes were red from crying.

Tears streamed down her oval face, her almond-shaped eyes were swollen and red, her lips were bitten pink and moist by her two canine teeth, and her slightly protruding chest rose and fell constantly.

Is this... a dream from my youth?

Chen Xingzhou then turned his head and looked around.

This is a rented room, and a bed, a wardrobe, a table, and a bathroom already fill the room to the brim.

On the calendar hanging on the right wall, the date is clearly: January 15, 2016.

The mirror on the left wall reflects a face that is excessively young:

High brow bone, sharp brow peak, deep-set eyes, sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes.

My skin is clean and firm, without the roughness and fatigue left by wind and sun.

"Chen Xingzhou! I'm asking you a question!"

Bai Mengyan wiped away her tears, grabbed his clothes and shook them repeatedly, crying out.

Chen Xingzhou looked away and down at her, but couldn't help but smile.

Based on his years of experience writing online novels, it's highly likely that he has been reborn.

Moreover, he traveled back from 2026 to 2016, when he was 20 years old and a junior at the Beijing Film Academy.

In his past life, he was quite affectionate at this time, and in order not to hinder Bai Mengyan's career, he cruelly proposed breaking up.

Later on, he played countless minor roles and supporting characters.

In the end, he only managed to get by, which was passable.

Bai Mengyan, however, went from an ordinary model to a top female star step by step.

Bai Mengyan came to see him later, but Chen Xingzhou already had a new love and still held firm to his pride, refusing to be a kept man.

Seeing Bai Mengyan's tearful eyes, Chen Xingzhou reached out to wipe away her tears and said:

"Silly girl, my breakup never meant anything."

"real?"

Bai Mengyan sniffed and muttered.

"certainly."

Chen Xingzhou nodded.

"Very good!!"

Bai Mengyan's eyes lit up, and she suddenly hugged him tightly, burying her head in his chest.

Looking down at Bai Mengyan, who was snuggling against him with snot and tears streaming down her face, Chen Xingzhou smiled helplessly.

But he's already been reborn, why should he care about this or that? He can't let this girl get away.

I'll eat this gigolo's rice, and eat it to my heart's content.

Unfortunately, Bai Mengyan is still in his initial stage, so he can't live off a woman, but that's not important.

Just then, a voice suddenly rang in Chen Xingzhou's mind.

[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have fulfilled the wish of female celebrity Bai Mengyan to "not break up with Chen Xingzhou" and successfully bound yourself to the "Female Celebrity Wish System"!]

[Reward: A unique cinematic presence characteristic of martial arts dramas.]

[Effect: The movements are sharp and fluid, with clear and impactful fist and sword techniques; exuding a chivalrous and martial arts spirit.]

[Female Celebrity Wish System]:

[Rules: By interacting with female celebrities and fulfilling their current wishes, you can draw a reward.]

[Reminder: Wishes can be big or small, and each person can only have one wish at a time.]

[Once the host fulfills the other party's wish, the other party's wish will be refreshed.]

A female celebrity's wish can be fulfilled a maximum of two times.

After the system notification ended, a clear sensation surged up Chen Xingzhou's limbs, causing his slightly slumped shoulders and back to straighten unconsciously.

His back was straight and slender, exuding a strong and vigorous spirit.

His eyes suddenly became bright and alert, and he had a touch of martial arts spirit.

Looking at the blue virtual frame in front of him and feeling the changes in his body, Chen Xingzhou's pupils suddenly contracted.

Unexpectedly, he not only reborn, but also gained Deep Blue as a powerful backer.

This system shows that he still needs to work harder in the entertainment industry.

Chen Xingzhou wasn't entirely opposed to the entertainment industry, and in his previous life he had always dreamed of being an actor, but he had no background, no resources, and refused to be a kept man.

He didn't realize this dream until he was exiled by the Grand Canal.

Now that we've been reborn, we must get back to work.

For him right now, the most important thing is to make money and increase his fame so that he can meet more female celebrities.

Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Chen Xingzhou looked at Bai Mengyan.

We still need to deal with this girl first.

He remembered that the two of them had argued because Bai Mengyan had received an invitation from "Cat's Tree".

After thinking for a moment, he spoke:

"Mengyan, go to Hangzhou and film well. 'Cat's Tree' is a great opportunity. I have important things to do."

I'll come see you after I finish this.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Bai Mengyan raised her head and asked in confusion.

You'll find out then.

Chen Xingzhou bent down and helped her fold the clothes that were scattered outside her suitcase.

Bai Mengyan leaned against the door, opened her mouth, but swallowed the words back.

She wiped her eyes and said, "Xingzhou, I'm waiting for you. Don't lie to me!"

She glanced at the time; it was almost time to go to the airport.

She took the suitcase Chen Xingzhou handed her, blushed, and leaned forward to kiss him.

Then he turned around, dragged his suitcase, and quickly walked out the door.

As she reached the door, she suddenly stopped and said shyly:

"Xingzhou, you seem to have become more handsome..."

boom--

The door closed, and the room fell silent instantly.

Looking at the door that was suddenly slammed shut, Chen Xingzhou touched his nose.

This girl is still the same as always. We've done noisy things together in this quiet rented room, and she still blushes when I kiss her.

But remembering what she had left behind, he immediately went to the mirror and examined himself carefully.

He's definitely become much more handsome; he should be comparable to the person in front of the screen.

But most importantly, it has a kind of江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the world of martial arts and chivalry) spirit.

Then Chen Xingzhou began to recall the dramas that a newcomer like him could currently get, and it would be even better if they were martial arts dramas.

A while later.

Chen Xingzhou remembered a fairly good TV series – The Legend of the Condor Heroes.

With the experience he had accumulated in his previous life, plus this newly acquired ability, he was quite confident that he could choose either Guo Jing or Yang Kang.

Filming this drama will not only make money but also boost my fame.

And most importantly, the system can be put to use again.

Because there are two female celebrities in this show: Meng Ziyi and Li Yitong.

Although Meng Ziyi was his classmate, the two did not have much interaction.

But Li Yitong is someone I'm all too familiar with.

After all, the two knew each other intimately from their past lives.

Although the system didn't specify that people who aren't currently female celebrities also qualify, judging from Bai Mengyan triggering the reward, anyone who became a female celebrity before 2026 should be eligible.

Just then, a WeChat notification sound interrupted his thoughts.

drip-

Chen Xingzhou picked up his phone; it was a message from Bai Jingting.

[Bai Jingting: Zhouzi, you said before that you were going to break up with Bai Mengyan today?]

I know you're feeling down, so don't stay cooped up in your rented room alone. Come out and grab some skewers.

Chen Xingzhou replied without hesitation:

Send me your address, I'll be right there.

The other party replied instantly.

[Bai Jingting: That's so kind of you! I thought you were going to hide in your rented room for a long time!]

[It's that Old Ma's BBQ place behind the Beijing Film Academy again. I'll grab a seat at 7 PM.]

Chen Xingzhou put down his phone and smiled.

He met Bai Jingting when he was a freshman in college, working on a film set. The two got along very well.

Bai Jingting gained some fame in his early years through web dramas. He has a wide network of connections in the industry and always helps him find roles.

It was also a very good connection he made during his university years.

He went there in his previous life, and he vaguely remembered that his classmate Meng Ziyi had appeared there.

With that in mind, Chen Xingzhou no longer hesitated.

He picked up his coat and walked outside.

On the way, Chen Xingzhou realized that Bai Mengyan was not in front of him, but he could still check her wishes:

Bai Mengyan's wish has been updated.

[Current wish: To know what Chen Xingzhou is going to do, and to wait for him to come and see me.]

Seeing her new wish, Chen Xingzhou smiled slightly.

This girl is really... just as foolish as she was in her past life.

However, her wish can only be fulfilled in a while.
