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

An hour later, in a coffee shop, at a window booth.

Bai Mengyan sat next to Chen Xingzhou, with the script of "A Love So Beautiful" spread out in front of them.

A few minutes later, Mao Deshu pushed open the door and entered. His eyes instantly locked onto Bai Mengyan, and then he caught sight of Chen Xingzhou beside her, and couldn't help but be stunned.

He seemed to have seen this person online before; he looked somewhat familiar.

Bai Mengyan beckoned him over, and he looked surprised: "Mengyan, who is this...?"

As he spoke, he extended his hand and shook hands politely with Chen Xingzhou.

Bai Mengyan introduced with a smile: "Director Cat, this is Chen Xingzhou, the Chen Xingzhou who plays Yan Xun, the second male lead in 'Princess Agents'."

Her eyes were full of pride and self-satisfaction as she praised Chen Xingzhou without reservation.

The cat in the tree glanced at the two of them, as if it understood something.

After the cat sat down on the tree, Chen Xingzhou pushed the script over.

"Director Shu, I adapted the script myself from the novel 'A Love So Beautiful,' and it's a sweet romance drama set on a youth campus."

"The style needs to be clean and delicate, creating a specific atmosphere. Mengyan said you're best at this type of shot, which is why she specifically asked her to invite you over."

Cat Tree flipped through the script, his eyes growing brighter with each reading: "This style is totally my cup of tea, it'll definitely be easy to film."

Chen Xingzhou then went on to talk about the filming arrangements:

"Director Shu, you should have the same crew you have for this shoot, right? I was thinking we could collaborate, so I'll bring them all over to make it easier for us to work together."

He doesn't have much money right now, so he's trying to save wherever he can, and besides, he wasn't exactly wrong.

Cat Tree nodded and said, "Yes, I have my own small, stable team, all of whom are my long-time partners who have been with me for several years."

"But let me be clear from the start, my team is complete, but I only have lightweight equipment, not the kind of equipment needed for a TV series, so you'll have to figure that out yourself."

Chen Xingzhou understood perfectly and nodded with a smile:

"That would be perfect. I already have some ideas about the machines, so you can rest assured, Director Shu."

"As for the filming locations, my plan is to film high school students at Zhuji Hailiang Experimental Middle School, and university students at Hangzhou Academy of Fine Arts and Hangzhou Normal University. I have asked around about these places, so there shouldn't be any problems."

"The filming will take place on November 5th; you will be notified of the location at that time."

Cat Tree took a closer look at Chen Xingzhou. It seemed that the other party had really arranged everything. Why did it feel like he was the only one missing?

He readily replied, "Professor Chen is very well prepared, no problem, I will arrive on time with the team."

"Then it's settled."

Chen Xingzhou nodded.

……

After seeing the cat off, Chen Xingzhou and Bai Mengyan returned to their apartment.

In the kitchen, Bai Mengyan, wearing an apron and with slightly flushed cheeks, patted Chen Xingzhou's large hand, who was standing behind her mischievously.

"Xingzhou, I haven't finished cooking yet..."

Chen Xingzhou hugged her, resting his chin on her shoulder: "No rush, and besides, isn't it more enjoyable to eat with you here than with food?"

Bai Mengyan's ears turned bright red, and she paused in her actions.

"Stop fooling around, or the oil will splash on you. Go and rest first; your injuries haven't healed yet."

Chen Xingzhou stopped his mischievous actions and said softly, "The filming location, schedule, and team are all set. Once filming starts, you'll be my leading lady."

"Once this drama is finished filming, the name Bai Mengyan will be remembered by everyone."

Bai Mengyan hummed in agreement, leaning against Chen Xingzhou's chest with a resolute look in her eyes. "Xingzhou, I won't let you down."

night.

The bedside lamp created an ambiguous atmosphere. Bai Mengyan had just finished applying medicine to Chen Xingzhou when he pulled her into his arms.

She trembled and pushed against his chest, saying, "Xingzhou, your injuries haven't healed yet, don't..."

"fine."

Bai Mengyan blushed and said, "Alright then, but only once."

"OK."

……

"Sailing, this is already the first time..."

"Really? No, it doesn't count."

"This won't work!"

"fine."

"Chen Xingzhou! You just wait!! Ah..."

……

At the end of August, the fog was tightly enveloped by the humid and hot air, making people want to wash their faces with water.

People came and went at the Wudu North Station. Chen Xingzhou dragged his pink suitcase behind him, while Tian Xiwei skipped and hopped ahead of him.

Her long, black hair was braided into two plaits, which swayed with her movements, making her small face look even more delicate and cute.

Chen Xingzhou watched her retreating figure, a smile unconsciously creeping onto his lips.

Tian Xiwei, who was walking in front, would occasionally poke her cheek with her finger, her eyes darting around mischievously.

A few days ago, Chen Xingzhou told her that he had bought a high-speed rail ticket, a total of nine hours, and would arrive in Shanghai that evening.

For her, it was a nine-hour drive.

It's still too short.

She didn't have much time to spend alone with Chen Xingzhou, and she didn't want to wake up one day to find herself in Shanghai.

After planning everything, she turned to him and said in a coquettish tone, "Brother Xingzhou, I want to go to the ticket window up ahead to ask about the ticket gate opening time, and also get a glass of water, okay?"

Chen Xingzhou glanced at Tian Xiwei and saw a hint of guilt in her eyes.

Looks like this girl's up to something again.

He didn't care that much; he just wanted to see what tricks she was up to.

He nodded: "Okay, go ahead."

Tian Xiwei smiled at him, then quickly turned around, and after turning around, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.

Chen Xingzhou took a few steps and sat down on a chair in the waiting area, his gaze fixed on Tian Xiwei as she skipped and hopped toward the ticket window.

Then he bent down slightly and seemed to be talking to the ticket seller.

Ticket window.

Tian Xiwei took out her and Chen Xingzhou's ID cards from the small bag in front of her.

Then, bending down, he said to the staff:

"Hello, could you please change both of these tickets to the Z258 direct train departing this afternoon, soft sleeper, in the same carriage?"

"Okay, please wait a moment," the staff member said, taking the ID card and immediately starting the processing.

While the staff were processing the ticket change, Tian Xiwei went to the side to get two glasses of water.

After completing the formalities, she quickly put away the new ticket, her ID card, and the refund for the rescheduled ticket. Holding a paper cup in her two small hands, she returned to sit down next to Chen Xingzhou.

"Brother Xingzhou, have some water."

Tian Xiwei handed over the paper cup with a grin, as if she hadn't done anything at all.

Chen Xingzhou nodded, his gaze fixed on Tian Xiwei, making her feel both guilty and blush.

She nervously twisted the braid hanging in front of her, her eyes darting around, her gaze fixed on the pedestrians behind Chen Xingzhou.

But Chen Xingzhou's gaze remained fixed on her, and she couldn't help but look into his eyes, muttering:

"Brother Xingzhou, why are you staring at me like that?"

Chen Xingzhou didn't speak, but simply shook his head and looked away.

Tian Xiwei was stunned for a moment, her guilty conscience growing stronger, but she didn't dare to ask Chen Xingzhou if he knew what she had done.

But then she thought about it again, and wondered what would happen if he found out anyway, since he would find out soon enough.

Thinking of Chen Xingzhou's all-knowing yet affectionate gaze just now, she couldn't help but feel a sweet warmth in her heart.

She lowered her head and chuckled, like a female hooligan.
