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

Meng Ziyi's lips were kissed until they were red and shiny, and his eyes were wet. He was stunned for a long time.

"You, you..." she stammered for a long time before finally saying shyly, "You're being a pervert!"

"What?" Chen Xingzhou chuckled, a playful glint in his eyes. "Playing the rogue? You're allowed to ambush me, but I'm not allowed to retaliate?"

Meng Ziyi instantly bristled, but lacking confidence, he could only stubbornly retort:

"I...I was just...naturally getting closer! You taught me! No, it was little Xixi who taught me!"

In her haste, she completely betrayed Tian Xiwei, only realizing her mistake after she finished speaking, wishing she could disappear into the ground.

Chen Xingzhou raised an eyebrow, his smile deepening.

He knew Tian Xiwei's feelings for him and guessed that the girl would never sincerely give Meng Ziyi advice. However, he did not expect that this silly beauty would take it as a brilliant plan.

He didn't expose her, but simply released his grip on the back of her neck and sat down next to her.

Meng Ziyi froze, instinctively trying to dodge to the side, but Chen Xingzhou reached out and put his arm around his waist, gently pulling him closer to his chest.

"Why are you hiding?" Chen Xingzhou looked down at her, his nose close to her forehead. "We've already kissed, now you're shy?"

"Who's shy!" Meng Ziyi retorted immediately, but her voice lacked any confidence.

"I...I just...it's getting late, I should go back to my room!"

She tried to get up, but Chen Xingzhou held her waist, making it impossible for her to move.

She struggled twice but couldn't break free, and accidentally fell into his arms, her cheek pressed against his chest.

Meng Ziyi froze completely, her cheeks flushing red.

Chen Xingzhou tightened his arms around her, pulling her into his embrace, his chin resting on the top of her head.

"What's the rush? I haven't even taught you how to change the medicine, and you're already trying to run away?"

"Huh?" Meng Ziyi was stunned. She looked up at him. "What medicine?"

"So you came over in the middle of the night with alcohol and cotton swabs just to steal a kiss from me?"

Chen Xingzhou raised his injured left arm and continued, "We have to film tomorrow, I can't act with an infected wound, can I?"

He spoke with such seriousness, as if he weren't the one who had just forcefully kissed her.

Meng Ziyi then remembered her original purpose for coming here. Her face flushed red, and she hurriedly climbed out of his arms, frantically grabbing cotton swabs and alcohol.

Chen Xingzhou smiled and held her hand, guiding her to open a new cotton swab, pour in alcohol, and gently wipe the wound.

After applying the medicine, Meng Ziyi breathed a long sigh of relief, quickly packed her things, and stood up to run towards the door.

"The medication has been changed! I...I'm leaving! You should get some rest!"

She hurriedly opened the door and ran out, almost getting her coat caught in it.

……

Meng Ziyi leaned against the door of her room, clutching her pounding chest, but couldn't help covering her mouth and squatting on the ground, laughing out loud.

她成功了！

She not only kissed Chen Xingzhou, but Chen Xingzhou kissed her back!

Her "pomegranate skirt" plan was not entirely successful, but it was close enough.

Now, Li Yitong definitely can't compete with her.

Thinking about the real big project tonight, she immediately picked up her phone and quickly sent a WeChat message to Tian Xiwei, but didn't mention the kiss.

Meng Ziyi: [Xixi, you're amazing! My relationship with your brother is progressing super, super fast!]

He's definitely interested in me!

On the other side, Tian Xiwei, who had just finished her math test, rolled her eyes.

She assumed Mencius was just being self-indulgent and casually replied with two words: "Boring."

Then she tossed her phone aside and didn't think about it at all.

She had no idea that her casual, perfunctory remark had already allowed these two people to break through the barrier between them.

After sending the WeChat message, Meng Ziyi rolled around on the bed with his phone in his arms.

Her mind was filled with Chen Xingzhou's kisses and the warmth of his arms around her waist; she was so excited that she couldn't fall asleep until late at night.

……

The next day, Meng Ziyi walked out of the hotel with faint dark circles under her eyes.

However, upon seeing Chen Xingzhou walking on the road, she immediately smiled and called out, "Xingzhou!"

"Hmm," Chen Xingzhou responded, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.

Did Sister Meng go steal chickens again last night?

Chen Xingzhou never forced women into prostitution, but he still wanted to eat meat.

Given Meng Ziyi's personality, and the fact that she's still just a university student, it will take a lot of work to get her to agree willingly...

For example, increase the intensity of the competition with Li Yitong to trigger Meng Ziyi's passive ability of competing with females.

Although progress was a bit slow, Chen Xingzhou found it quite interesting.

The two had just finished greeting each other when Li Yitong came out of the hotel. Upon seeing Meng Ziyi, she asked with concern:

"Ziyi, what's wrong? Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Meng Ziyi glanced at her, his gaze somewhat unfocused, but the corners of his mouth still couldn't help but curl up:

"It's alright, Sister Yitong."

Upon hearing this address, Li Yitong was taken aback.

She had long noticed that Meng Ziyi seemed interested in Chen Xingzhou, so it was understandable that she didn't have a very good impression of her.

But why are you calling me so sweetly today?

She turned to look at Chen Xingzhou, trying to see something in his eyes, but she couldn't see anything.

A while later, the group arrived at the film set.

The kiss the night before was like a pebble thrown into a lake, making Meng Ziyi certain that he had the victory in his grasp.

But when she arrived at the film set, she suddenly woke up with a start.

The intimate breakthroughs he had made in private were nothing compared to Li Yitong's natural advantages.

The shooting schedule for the day was packed:

The early morning scene features the two fighting side-by-side, the afternoon scene depicts them expressing their feelings for each other, and the evening scene shows them riding horses in the rain.

From positioning and rehearsing lines to actual filming, Chen Xingzhou spent almost the entire day with Li Yitong.

Her character, Mu Nianci, had fewer than a handful of scenes with Guo Jing throughout the entire series.

Most of the time, she could only stand by the monitor, watching Chen Xingzhou and Li Yitong act out the excitement and passion of young people in front of the camera.

"All departments, prepare! The scene at Guiyun Manor, one take!"

As the script supervisor struck the clapperboard, Chen Xingzhou instantly got into character, standing beside Li Yitong in a sharp outfit, his eyes filled with the unique determination and tenderness of Guo Jing.

Li Yitong tilted her head slightly to look at him, reached out and gently tugged at his sleeve, her tone sweet and dependent:

"Brother Jing, with you here, I'm not afraid of anything."

Chen Xingzhou subconsciously raised his hand and gently placed it on the back of her hand, the movement natural and intimate.

In his past life, when he was with Li Yitong, Li Yitong was somewhat in the position of the older sister.

However, although she is 26 years old now, she hasn't experienced a lot.

Moreover, Chen Xingzhou was reborn, which naturally put him in a much stronger position.

Although Li Yitong has some independent female qualities, she is not love-obsessed.

However, he believes that given enough time for the two to spend together and the added advantage of their on-screen chemistry, Li Yitong will definitely develop feelings for him.

In front of the camera, the two looked at each other, and the air was filled with Jingrong's unique ambiguous tension.
