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

Chapter 107 Level 10 Water Mage Tian Xiwei

Kyoto at 4 a.m. is still brightly lit.

The sound of keyboards clicking filled the office of Yi Ye Zhi Zhou.

Zhou Ye was sitting in the main seat reporting to Chen Xingzhou, while Bai Mengyan and Meng Ziyi were sitting next to him, typing on their phones.

"Senior, we have now established green channels with platforms such as Weibo and Douyin. Most of the content spreading rumors has been taken down, and hundreds of online troll accounts have been banned."

"But it seems like someone is deliberately targeting us, because they reappeared a few minutes later."

Chen Xingzhou sat on Tian Xiwei's bed. She wrapped her arms around his waist from behind, pressed her face against his back, and her eyes were a little red and swollen.

A cold glint flashed in Chen Xingzhou's eyes as he said, "I know who it is. Don't worry."

"Is it still the same Huanyu Company? They're so awful. But senior, Tongliang Middle School has already issued a clarification statement, and many of your former classmates are testifying for you in the comments section."

"By the way, the Tian Family Culture Promotion Association of Wudu also testified for you."

Chen Xingzhou nodded. "I've seen it."

"But that's not enough. Next, you will use our studio's Weibo account to publish a long clarification statement. Just compile all the clarification records and don't post any other comments."

"Another one is to issue a statement seeking legal accountability."

"Also, you and Mengyan should find the audio and video recordings she made before, and have the gossip accounts in the entertainment industry publish them. They don't need to make any other comments, just pure rational gossip."

"Also, all of you should use your own accounts to post some Weibo messages supporting Xiaotian, especially Mengyan, to quiet down those CP fans."

Bai Mengyan's voice came from the other end: "Okay, I will."

Chen Xingzhou nodded and continued, "Release the remaining behind-the-scenes footage at noon to divert attention."

"Yes, yes, I've noted it all down—Senior—Are you alright? 'Dearest' is airing tonight, and this happened."

"Why are you worried about me? This might actually be a good thing. It resolves a potential problem and could even boost the show's popularity."

"Oh well----"

As soon as Chen Xingzhou hung up the phone, Tian Xiwei immediately leaned close to his ear and said in a soft, drawn-out voice, "Senior~~, are you alright? I was so worried————"

"You still have the mood to be sarcastic?" Chen Xingzhou turned his head and pinched her cheek.

Although the matter is almost resolved, its repercussions linger.

The reason it was resolved so quickly is because he currently has a lot of energy.

He knows the platform, and with a new drama about to air, iQiyi can't just sit idly by; they'll take action.

Aiqiyi also put in a lot of effort this time, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to succeed so smoothly.

It just goes to show how powerful capital is.

Tian Xiwei grabbed his hand and pouted, "Is that not allowed? I'm two years younger than you. Even if we didn't go to the same university, I'm still your junior, right? Or is that title reserved for her?"

"No, but her voice is too sweet; I'm not used to it."

"What do you mean 'too sweet'? Do you think I've always been some kind of Sichuan-Chongqing Tyrannosaurus Rex in your heart?!" Tian Xiwei grinned, tilting her head back to glare at him.

"So you've revealed your true colors now?" Chen Xingzhou laughed.

"You!" Tian Xiwei grabbed his hand and pulled hard, and Chen Xingzhou, who was caught off guard, was knocked down and landed right on top of Tian Xiwei.

He propped himself up slightly on the bed and looked at her, a glint of fire flashing in his eyes.

"what?"

"Don't talk." Tian Xiwei blushed, put her finger to his lips, and shook her head.

"Brother Xingzhou, I admit I was being a bit sarcastic just now, but I was really worried about you—"

"You've been on the phone ever since you came in, giving orders to this person and that person. You've arranged everything for everyone else, but you haven't said a word about yourself."

"Do you know that your voice was hoarse when you spoke just now?"

"Really? It's okay."

Chen Xingzhou touched his throat; it was a little dry. He realized he hadn't had any water for several hours.

"Don't tell me it's nothing." Tian Xiwei placed her palm on his face. "You've been trending on social media all day, being called Chen Huangmao, and your CP fans are calling you shameless. And you're telling me it's nothing?"

"You are too." Chen Xingzhou held her hand.

"I'm different! I am indeed very angry, but you are the one under the most pressure, yet you still have to comfort me. This is all because of me; otherwise, you wouldn't have gotten into this trouble at all."

Tian Xiwei lowered her eyes, her voice filled with self-reproach.

"You really think that's true? Weren't you listening to what Xiaoye and I were saying? This time you were deliberately targeted."

Chen Xingzhou poked her forehead, his tone sounding like he was talking to a brick wall.

"Hmph—I know, it's all your fault—"

Tian Xiwei pouted, then rolled her eyes and said, "Brother Xingzhou, have you seen that comment from that alumnus that I go to the gym every day and my body is getting better and better?"

""

Chen Xingzhou raised an eyebrow. "What are you trying to say?"

"This humble woman has been saved by you again, young master, but I have no money and can only repay you with my body."

Tian Xiwei quickly reached out and hugged his neck, tilting her head back to kiss him.

This time, Chen Xingzhou did not refuse. He lowered his head to meet her and said, "Okay."

When his voice rang out, Tian Xiwei's eyes widened suddenly, as if she hadn't expected him to accept.

But she only paused for two seconds before dimples appeared on her face, and she tightened her grip on his neck, her fingers gripping his collar tightly.

Their noses touched first, then their lips.

Tian Xiwei's lips were a little cool and small; he could bite her entire lip with just a slight opening of his mouth.

His tongue touched it and tasted the slightly salty flavor of tears.

After kissing for a few seconds, he reached out and pressed the back of her head, kissing her even deeper.

Tian Xiwei let out a very soft sob, her fingers gripping the back of his collar.

Under the lamplight, only Chen Xingzhou's shadow fell on the bed.

Tian Xiwei's eyes widened, her eyelashes frantically blinking. He pressed her hard onto the bed, her hands gripping his collar were already sweaty, and she could only barely cope with his sharp words.

"Ugh~~" Tian Xiwei's whimpering sounds echoed in the quiet room.

The two kissed for a long time until Tian Xiwei suddenly let out a long groan, propped herself up on the sheets with her little feet, and pulled the sheets from under the foot of the bed onto the bed.

Chen Xingzhou was stunned for a moment, and had no choice but to straighten up and make room for her, and then released her swollen lips.

"I, I, I—I—you—"

Tian Xiwei's cheeks were flushed, and her forehead was covered in sweat. She quickly pulled up a corner of the blanket with one hand to cover her face, while the other hand was spread out on her waistband.

Chen Xingzhou froze on the spot, watching her lightning-fast movements.

It took him a couple of seconds to realize what was happening.

Dude, this is... you know?

This girl is too fragile.

He hasn't even started yet. If this were to become real, wouldn't it be...?

He thought that last time at the Japanese restaurant, the girl had only acted that way because there were too many people there.

But this reaction is clearly just plain overreaction.

He forced himself not to laugh out loud, coughed once, and Tian Xiwei then revealed half of her face and one eye.

Her eyes were watery, filled with a mixture of shame and indignation as she looked at him, her eyelashes trembling slightly, making him want to pick her up again and kiss her hard once more.

"I...I just couldn't breathe! You didn't see anything!"

Chen Xingzhou sat on the edge of the bed, turning his head to look at Tian Xiwei, who was wrapped in a ball under the covers, with a slight smile on his lips.

"Hmm, I didn't see anything."

"You're lying!! You were clearly laughing!" Tian Xiwei stuck her foot out from under the covers and kicked him. He glanced at it but didn't catch it.

He knew he couldn't do anything else now, otherwise this girl probably wouldn't dare to see anyone for a long time.

The contrast is simply overwhelming.

Tian Xiwei usually wants to be glued to him all the time, but she gets so sensitive to a kiss.

She kicked him and immediately shrank back, pulling the blanket tighter around herself. "You're not allowed to laugh! Stand up! Go to the wall and look at it, don't look at me!!"

Chen Xingzhou obediently stood up and looked at the wall. Tian Xiwei secretly lifted the blanket to peek at him before pulling the blanket back completely, satisfied.

Immediately, Chen Xingzhou heard a series of sparse sounds, along with her rapid breathing and occasional humming.

About a minute later, she reached out and tugged at one of his corners, her voice so soft it was almost inaudible.

"Brother Xingzhou—uh—could you please get this for me? Just one—"

"What?"

"It's—that! That! You know perfectly well!" She sniffed, as if she was about to cry.

Chen Xingzhou chuckled, opened the bedside table drawer, took out the daily necessities inside, and handed them to her from behind.

"I...I'm going to the restroom, you're not allowed to look!"

After a while, the sound of flushing water came from the bathroom.

Tian Xiwei pushed open the door and came out, having changed into a loose T-shirt as pajamas. Her face was so red it could fry an egg, but her walking posture had returned to normal.

She walked to the bedside, stood with her hands on her hips, and looked up at him: "You are not allowed to say a word about what happened just now! Especially not Bai Mengyan, Meng Ziyi, or Zhou Ye! If they find out, I will—"

Chen Xingzhou rubbed his forehead. Did this really need the word "special" added?

Hasn't everyone been added?

Hmm—he's still missing Li Yitong, but the two of them seem to have a good connection, so he doesn't need to worry.

Bringing himself back to reality, he replied, "So what?"
