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

Chapter 101 of "Go Go Squid!" has wrapped filming.

"I, I—you—" Tian Xiwei's hand, which was gripping his clothes, was suddenly released, and then he felt his abdomen being pushed outward by two palms.

Chen Xingzhou smiled slightly.

These kinds of girls are easy to handle; they chicken out as soon as you mention anything about real fighting.

Unlike older sisters like Li Yitong and Li Lin, who meant it when they said they would come, and didn't just make empty promises.

He raised his other hand, and Tian Xiwei reflexively closed her eyes, then felt a warm touch on her forehead.

When Tian Xiwei opened her eyes again, she realized it was Chen Xingzhou's thumb. She stomped on his foot and ran out from under his arm.

"Chen Xingzhou! I will be back!!"

Seeing the door slam shut, Chen Xingzhou rubbed his temples and went to lie down on the bed.

There's no peace and quiet every day.

He felt that having only a golden kidney wasn't enough; he also needed a master of time management, plus a master of stress resistance, to be proficient by the next morning.

Chen Xingzhou sat behind the monitor watching the replay of yesterday's scenes when he suddenly noticed that Meng Ziyi was unusually quiet.

She sat quietly in a corner of the set, flipping through the script. Even when Zhou Ye was talking to her, she seemed a little distracted.

Normally, Meng Ziyi doesn't make a ruckus everywhere, but he's still quite lively. What's wrong with him today?

"Ziyi," he called out.

Meng Ziyi suddenly looked up, as if startled by his voice, and forced a smile: "A-Zhou, what's wrong?"

Chen Xingzhou frowned slightly.

Meng Ziyi wasn't good at lying, and her reaction was obviously very strange, but he didn't press her for details.

"Are you ready for your next scene?"

"Ready?" Meng Ziyi replied in a deep voice, then stood up, dusted off non-existent dust, and walked towards him.

Chen Xingzhou raised an eyebrow and silently watched her.

Her face remained as youthful and beautiful as ever, with nothing unusual about it.

However, when she met his gaze, she clearly showed some unusual emotions.

Then, as she walked behind him, she paused, her body trembling as she bent down, and said in a pleading tone, "A-Zhou—no matter what you've done, I won't leave you, but please don't do it again—please—"

After saying that, she straightened up and walked quickly towards the filming location, as if she hadn't said anything.

Chen Xingzhou watched her retreating figure, a question mark slowly forming above his head.

What has he been doing? He hasn't been doing anything lately, has he?

Meng Ziyi can even accept that he's having multiple relationships at the same time, so what could possibly make her say that?

He thought about it carefully, but still had no clue. He could only clap his hands at the others and start today's filming.

"Episode 41 of 'Go Go Squid!', Scene 20, Action!"

The clapperboard fell, and the scene shifted to the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

"Excuse me, excuse me, the staff is here."

The staff arrived at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau and asked, "Who is the first one?"

Bai Mengyan stood beside Chen Xingzhou, a smile playing on her lips. She raised her hand and waved, "We're the first!"

Chen Xingzhou smiled gently as he watched her step halfway into the Civil Affairs Bureau.

"What time did you arrive?"

"Five o'clock! We arrived at five o'clock this morning!"

"You're here so early?!"

As the staff member spoke, they opened the door to the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Bai Mengyan grabbed Chen Xingzhou's arm and rushed inside, "Hurry, hurry!"

Chen Xingzhou quickly followed, his eyes filled with doting affection.

Sunlight streamed through the glass window into the CN District Civil Affairs Bureau, landing on the couple's photos on their marriage certificate as the seal was stamped.

[Certificate Holder: Han Shangyan]

[Certificate Holder: Tong Nian]

Bai Mengyan picked up the book that belonged to Tong Nian and looked up to meet Chen Xingzhou's eyes.

"Han Shangyan, I am yours."

"Um.

""

Five or six cameras nearby kept pressing the record button, capturing this beautiful final moment.

Zhou Ye stood quietly behind the monitor, gently biting his upper lip, and unconsciously hugged the flowers in his arms tighter.

Bai Mengyan has already taken away Chen Xingzhou's marriage proposal, wedding, and the official stamp from the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Even though it was just acting, she was incredibly envious.

What about her?

What can she get?

Meng Ziyi remained seated in the corner, head bowed, hands neatly placed on his knees, showing no reaction whatsoever.

"Okay! Card!!"

The cat tree let out an excited shout.

Chen Xingzhou pulled Bai Mengyan out of the Civil Affairs Bureau quickly; the sheds outside were already packed with people.

Applause, cheers, and the sound of stagehands banging on boxes mingled together.

Someone opened a bottle of champagne, and the foam sprayed everywhere.

Many more people ran towards the two.

"Director Chen! A red envelope!!"

"Director Chen! Happy wrap-up!!"

Chen Xingzhou smiled and accepted the items handed to him by the staff.

Finally, Zhou Ye ran up to him, holding the flowers and handing them to him.

"Happy wrap-up, senior."

After handing over the flowers, she didn't say anything more, and turned around to hug Bai Mengyan.

Chen Xingzhou held the flowers and looked at the excited crowd in the venue with a smile in his eyes.

It took more than two months to film another drama series, which was a little faster than the 3.5 months in my previous life.

But suddenly he felt something was wrong.

One person is missing.

He began to scan his surroundings, and after observing for a few seconds, his gaze settled on Meng Ziyi in the right front corner.

She sat there quietly, not rushing over to celebrate the wrap-up of filming like she did when filming "The Legend of the Condor Heroes." She seemed oblivious as crew members ran past her.

Chen Xingzhou frowned and strode forward.

"Ziyi?"

"Hmm?" Meng Ziyi looked up, expressionless, as if she had just realized that filming had wrapped up. She said softly to him, "A-Zhou, happy wrap-up."

Chen Xingzhou didn't reply, but silently looked at her.

She lowered her eyes, said nothing more, and stood up, saying, "A-Zhou, I'm going to celebrate with Sister Bai and Xiao Ye. See you this afternoon."

"return."

Chen Xingzhou took a big step forward and firmly grasped Meng Ziyi's wrist.

She turned her head, without struggling or looking into his eyes, and quietly looked down at his hand.

"We'll go to Mengyan and Xiaoye's place later. I have something to talk to you about."

Meng Ziyi's eyelashes trembled; she knew she couldn't hide it from Chen Xingzhou.

She could roughly guess what he wanted to ask.

From that night on, she kept putting on an act of "everything is over" for him.

But she was never a good actress. Even if her acting skills could fool others, they couldn't fool Chen Xingzhou.

She had neither the strength to refuse nor the inclination to lie, and simply nodded gently.

"Let go, it won't look good if someone sees us. I won't run away."

Chen Xingzhou glanced at her, let go of her hand, and led her through the crowd who were taking down the set.

Bai Mengyan and Zhou Ye had finished celebrating and were helping the props team pack up.
