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

Tian Xiyu, holding a slice of watermelon, ran up to Chen Xingzhou and shoved it into his hand.

"Brother Zhouzhou, eat some watermelon! It's super sweet! My sister hasn't smiled for days, but she's happy as soon as you come!"

Chen Xingzhou took the watermelon, glanced down at Tian Xiwei who was still clinging to him, and politely said to Tian's parents:

"Uncle and Aunt, you're too kind. Xixi and I grew up together. It's only right that I come back to be with her for a couple of days to celebrate her college entrance exam."

As he spoke, he reached out and ruffled Tian Xiwei's hair:

"Alright, stop arguing with your uncle. Eat a piece of watermelon first, and after you finish, I'll go over the points you often get wrong with with you again. You'll be taking the exam tomorrow."

Tian Xiwei looked up at him, nodded vigorously, and obediently replied, "Okay, I'll do whatever you say."

……

Two days passed quickly. Chen Xingzhou spent his time either taking Tian Xiwei to her exams or at home working on the script he wanted to film.

Through the connections he had built up during this period and his good fortune in his career, he successfully contacted Zhao Qianqian, the author of "A Love So Beautiful".

And I sent them the script for the first one or two episodes.

After seeing Chen Xingzhou's script and his good attitude, Zhao Qianqian immediately agreed and arranged a time to meet.

……

At 6 p.m. on June 8, as soon as the bell rang to signal the end of the exam, Tian Xiwei rushed out of the exam room clutching her pencil case.

She spotted Chen Xingzhou waiting under the shade of a tree at a glance and skipped over to him.

"Brother Xingzhou! I'm finally completely free! I passed the art exam and the college entrance exam, I'm free of anything! I'll go to Hengdian with you, to the set of 'Princess Agents'!"

She tilted her little face up, her expression full of anticipation: "I'll just watch you film quietly and won't cause you any trouble, okay?"

Chen Xingzhou looked down at the clingy little girl in his arms and stopped her from thinking: "Passing the art exam and finishing the college entrance exam doesn't mean everything is fine."

He really wanted her to be his assistant.

However, this girl's fighting ability is too strong, especially compared to other women.

It's called "Ne Zha".

He couldn't let Tian Xiwei go, otherwise things would get complicated.

Tian Xiwei immediately wrinkled her nose: "How can it be nothing? I'm sure I'll pass all the professional courses at the Shanghai Theatre Academy, so my academic scores are definitely high enough! Are you... not wanting me to go?"

She stared straight at him, a hint of jealousy on her face, as if she had already caught a whiff of another woman's scent.

Not far away, Aunt Tian walked over and reached out to tap her daughter's forehead:

"What do you know, you little brat! The Shanghai Theatre Academy has a minimum score requirement for academic subjects, and afterwards you have to fill out the application, check your records, and wait for the admission results to be announced. You can't afford to make a mistake at any step!"

If you go to Hengdian and don't receive phone calls or notifications, and it delays your admission, you'll regret it!

Mr. Tian also stepped forward, glanced at the two of them, and said in a deep voice, "That's right! What kind of school is the Shanghai Theatre Academy? So many people are eyeing it! There are so many procedures before admission. You're a girl, running so far away, in a place you don't know anyone. If something happens, who will be responsible?"

Stay home and wait for further instructions. Do not wander off!

Tian Xiyu tugged at her sister's clothes, saying in a childish voice, "Sister, don't go! Sister, play with me! Brother Zhouzhou, go film your movie by yourself!"

Ignoring her family, Tian Xiwei continued to stare at Chen Xingzhou, her tone blunt: "Brother Xingzhou, are you afraid I'll go?"

"Is it because you're having trouble getting along with the older women on set?"

Chen Xingzhou got goosebumps and quickly ruffled her hair to soothe the flustered kitten.

"I have to film Yan Xun's action scenes, working day and night, running around everywhere, so I simply can't find the time to spend with you."

Tian Xiwei pursed her lips, but she knew he was telling the truth.

"Then you promise not to be too nice to other girls on set, or I'll fly to Hengdian to find you right now! Don't lie to me!"

Chen Xingzhou breathed a sigh of relief and pinched her cheek: "I'm not lying to you, we'll wait for your good news."

Mr. Tian watched from the side, feeling relieved.

This kid is sensible enough not to lure his daughter to the film set to cause trouble.

Otherwise, this kid will be in trouble.

……

That afternoon, Chen Xingzhou packed his luggage, said goodbye to Tian Xiwei's family and his parents, and returned to Hengdian.

Time flies like a wild horse, and in the blink of an eye, it's already late June.

The crew of "Princess Agents" on the riverbank, under the shade of trees.

Hengdian is in the midst of the sweltering heat, and even the breeze blowing along the river carries a hint of heat.

Li Lin, dressed in Yuan Chun's costume, held a script in one hand and a small fan blowing on it in the other, as she and Chen Xingzhou went over their lines.

She glanced at the script, put it down, and smiled at Chen Xingzhou: "Chun'er can do it too!"

Chen Xingzhou couldn't help but smile at her slightly coquettish manner and mimicked her, saying, "Chun'er can do it too."

Li Qin smiled slightly, raised her hand, and said, "You act it out, don't just copy it."

"Didn't I just act?" Chen Xingzhou raised an eyebrow, feeling goosebumps all over his body.

"Next, I'll be Brother Yan Xun," Li Qin said, glancing at the script.

"Okay," Chen Xingzhou replied.

He then composed himself, moved closer to Li Qin, and said, "Chun'er can do it too."

Li Lin was looking at the script when he heard his insightful tone. He looked up, spat, and started playfully fighting with him.

Chen Xingzhou laughed and ran a few steps forward.

Li Yitong grabbed Chen Xingzhou's sleeve and chased after him.

Unexpectedly, the grass on the ground was slippery, and she suddenly stumbled and fell straight into Chen Xingzhou's arms.

Chen Xingzhou reacted quickly and reached out to support her.

Upon sensing each other's presence, both of them were initially taken aback.

Li Yitong blushed, quickly pushed Chen Xingzhou away, and turned her head to straighten her clothes: "Sorry... I lost my balance."

Chen Xingzhou withdrew his hand and touched his nose: "The grass here is slippery, be careful."

He suddenly caught sight of Wang Yanlin, who was wearing a maternal smile not far away, and raised an eyebrow: "What are you doing?"

Wang Yanlin laughed and turned his back to the two of them. "Uh... I didn't see anything just now."

He scratched his head and said, "General Chen, the production assistant said someone came to visit the set, saying they're your friend."

Before Chen Xingzhou could respond to his teasing, he subconsciously asked, "Friend?"

A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he immediately understood.

It's most likely that Li Yitong came; his young wife didn't even inform him.

"Yeah, I feel... you might have a tough day today," Wang Yanlin joked before leaving.

He didn't mention that his friend was a woman, just to see how Chen Xingzhou would handle the situation, and he didn't want to make things more difficult for Chen Xingzhou.

Chen Xingzhou nodded, then turned to Li Qin, "Sister Qin, I'm going out for a bit."

"Huh?" Li Qin's face was still flushed.

She never expected that Wang Yanlin would witness what had just happened.

She snapped out of her reverie and nodded, saying, "Okay."

Seeing her reaction, Chen Xingzhou understood and didn't say anything more, then immediately walked outside.
