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

Seeing her eyes redden with anxiety, Chen Xingzhou neither admitted nor denied it.

He simply lowered his head silently, captured her lips in his mouth, and shut down all her questions.

Unlike his domineering manner the previous night, this kiss wasn't forceful, yet it instantly shattered Meng Ziyi's defenses.

All her temper vanished, and she could only lean softly against him, forgetting that she had originally come to confront him.

"Are you still angry?" Chen Xingzhou asked.

Meng Ziyi bit her lip and muttered, "I'll let it go this time, but next time... next time you do this again..."

She bit Chen Xingzhou's collarbone hard and continued, "I'll sever all ties with you!"

Chen Xingzhou hissed, but a smile played on his lips; he didn't reply.

Suddenly, Meng Ziyi felt something hot touch his thigh.

"Huh? What's that?"

She looked up at Chen Xingzhou in confusion, blinked, and before he could answer, she reached out and shook his hand.

She only snapped out of her daze a few seconds after she had held on to it, her face turning bright red. She quickly pulled her hand back and instinctively tried to shrink back.

"Why are you running?" Chen Xingzhou smiled and reached out to hug her tightly.

"I, I..." Meng Ziyi's ears and neck were burning hot, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at Chen Xingzhou.

She was still a virgin, how could she have ever seen anything like this?

Wow, so big...

"You've messed me up like this, and you think you can just walk away?"

Chen Xingzhou lowered his head and whispered in her ear, his warm breath brushing against her earlobe, making her body tense.

Meng Ziyi buried her face in his chest, blushing with embarrassment. She wanted to retort, but didn't even have the courage to look up. She could only say angrily:

"I...I didn't realize what was happening...who knew you..."

Chen Xingzhou chuckled softly, raising his hand to gently lift her chin, forcing her to meet his gaze: "Didn't realize it yet? How about now?"

"I...I..." Meng Ziyi bit her lip, her eyes darting around, and muttered softly, "You're so mean..."

"Bad?" Chen Xingzhou raised an eyebrow. "Who was it that came over to shake hands just now? Now you're blaming me for being bad?"

As soon as he finished speaking, his arm around her waist tightened, pressing her lower abdomen against that burning heat.

Meng Ziyi's body stiffened abruptly, and he subconsciously raised his hand to push away, but Chen Xingzhou firmly held his wrist.

"Don't hide." Chen Xingzhou's voice brooked no argument: "You started this fire, so you have to take responsibility for putting it out."

Meng Ziyi's face turned even redder, the redness spreading from her cheeks to her neck.

Knowing she couldn't win an argument with Chen Xingzhou, she could only stubbornly insist, "I...I won't take responsibility...it's your own fault..."

"Not taking responsibility?" He looked at her bewildered expression, his smile deepening. "Then let's put it another way: help me?"

Meng Ziyi's mind went blank.

She wanted to refuse, but Chen Xingzhou's gaze made her panic, and she could only watch helplessly as he held her hand.

The moment their fingertips touched, Meng Ziyi's hand trembled violently, but Chen Xingzhou held it firmly, preventing her from pulling it back.

The tenderness in Chen Xingzhou's eyes faded, revealing a hint of possessiveness he couldn't hide: "Just like before."

Meng Ziyi's heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her throat, and her fingertips curled slightly.

She lowered her head even further, not daring to look Chen Xingzhou in the eye, yet a strange emotion inexplicably rose within her.

Chen Xingzhou looked down at her and smiled.

He knew her personality, so he wouldn't rush to force her, but would guide her little by little to get used to it.

After an unknown amount of time, Meng Ziyi covered her mouth and ran towards the bathroom, her face turning pale and then red.

A moment later, she strode out of the bathroom, pointing angrily at Chen Xingzhou:

"Chen Xingzhou! You've gone too far! How could you do this?! Didn't you say you were just rubbing it?!"

Thinking about the scene of her head being pressed down, she wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

Chen Xingzhou touched his nose and went over to comfort her.

Actually, he didn't want to do this, but his House of Lords was suddenly controlled by the House of Commons.

He did his best to suppress it, otherwise it wouldn't have been so simple.

However, seeing how anxious Meng Ziyi was, he was glad that he hadn't gone too far earlier.

A while later, Meng Ziyi, still fuming, left Chen Xingzhou's room.

……

The filming continued as scheduled, and Chen Xingzhou continued to switch between the two women.

Because Li Yitong joined the production team earlier, the filming wrap-up date was moved from June to May 20th.

On this very day, the crew of The Legend of the Condor Heroes was filming their final scene.

Inside a fenced house.

"This child should have a name."

Chen Xingzhou, who plays Guo Jing, gazed at Meng Ziyi's lower abdomen, his brows furrowed slightly as he pondered deeply, his expression growing increasingly solemn.

"Brother Yang had his faults in life, but he was not entirely beyond redemption."

I hope this child will be able to distinguish right from wrong in the future, correct his mistakes, and not repeat his father's mistakes.

He paused, his gaze hardening, and said, word by word, "Let's call him Yang Guo, the 'Guo' of 'mistake'."

May he one day correct his mistakes, for that would be the greatest virtue, and may he remain true to his original aspirations and to the world.

Upon hearing this, a hint of approval flashed in Li Yitong's eyes, and she nodded slightly:

"Brother Jing, this is a good name. It expresses both your longing for Brother Yang and your expectations for the child."

Meng Ziyi stared blankly at Chen Xingzhou, tears finally falling and dripping onto his handkerchief, leaving a small wet stain.

"Yang Guo... Alright! Let's call him Yang Guo."

As the final clapperboard of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" faded, the set was quiet, with only the crew relaxing after their exhaustion.

Meng Ziyi removed the prop belly pad, rubbed her waist, wiped her eyes, and happily exclaimed, "Finally free!"

She touched Chen Xingzhou's arm with her finger and smiled sweetly, "Thank you for helping me practice for my role these past few months..."

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have fulfilled the wish of actress Meng Ziyi.]

[Reward received: Excellent Star Path.]

[Effect: You possess an inherent, albeit subtle, good fortune, always catching the perfect moment during auditions and resource negotiations; directors and investors inexplicably find you agreeable.]

Chen Xingzhou was taken aback when he saw the system panel that suddenly appeared.

Extreme luck?!

What is this? If it's not off, it means it's not on, right?

He just finished filming, are they going to arrange a role for him?

However, this also happens to fit his plans perfectly.

Douyin is not expected to launch until around October, but it's only about June now, so there are still four months to go.

He pondered for a moment, and then saw several people walking towards him.

Several supporting characters gathered around him, laughing and saying, "Xingzhou, no one will practice the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms with you anymore. Your moves were really swift and clean."

"Chen's action scenes are really good!"

"..."

Chen Xingzhou smiled and nodded: "Everyone has worked hard. It's all thanks to you all acting together."

Producer Guo Jingyu approached Chen Xingzhou and said with a smile, "Very good, Xingzhou. If there's a suitable drama for you next time, I'll definitely let you know!"

"Thanks, producer." Chen Xingzhou nodded with a smile.

"It's nothing, let's go then, everyone get ready, let's have a meal together!" Guo Jingyu waved his hand and turned around to greet everyone.
