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

The first section is about the Five Heroes of Chang'an racing horses on Zhuque Avenue in Chang'an.

Chen Xingzhou rode a black steed, followed by four other young men on horseback, crossing the street.

Tread-tap-

The horse's hooves flew swiftly, treading on the bluestone slabs and kicking up pebbles.

"Giddy up! Giddy up!!"

"drive!!"

Pedestrians quickly made way for them, and a young woman stood on the side of the street, gazing admiringly at the leader, Prince Yan Xun.

Chen Xingzhou was dressed in brocade robes, holding the reins with his right hand and waving his left hand as the horse galloped by. The corners of his mouth turned up, revealing his white teeth.

"drive!"

The group quickly crossed the street and arrived at their destination.

Chen Xingzhou yanked the reins sharply, and the horse reared up on its hind legs, emitting a series of snorting sounds, "Whoa—!!"

He gripped the reins tightly, his arm straining, his expression unwavering, still unrestrained and arrogant.

A triumphant smile still lingered on his lips.

The horse's hooves landed slowly on the ground, making a crisp sound, along with his laughter.

"Ha ha!"

The video ends.

The comments section is overflowing.

[Holy crap, who is this?! They're half my looks!]

His eyes are so powerful!!

Chen Xingzhou's striking eyebrows and bright eyes are so handsome!!

I was stabbed by my brother's sword, and tears are welling up in my eyes...

Are those eyes?

Then there's the Nine Nether Platform, where the editor only showed three shots:

First, Yan Xun knelt in the pool of blood and looked up, his pupils reflecting the firelight.

Secondly, Yan Xun knelt on the ground and shouted to the sky, "Mother!!"

The final shot cuts back to young Yan Xun, with his bright white teeth and carefree grin.

comment:

My tears are worthless?!

My Yan Xun, he clearly did nothing wrong [crying]

[I haven't even watched it yet, and it's already getting angsty?!]

Damn, this comparison is so hurtful!

Subsequently, four topics related to Chen Xingzhou simultaneously occupied the trending search list, with the highest ranking reaching fifth.

In particular, the most talked-about press release was titled "Photos of Chen Xingzhou and Yan Xun filming at Jiuyoutai revealed: Covered in blood, faces unrecognizable."

This was reported by a media outlet.

First picture: Chen Xingzhou is kneeling on the ground, his armor is covered in blood, his face is smeared with blood and mud, and his eyes are red and swollen.

The second picture shows a staff member helping him remove the handcuffs from his wrists. His forearms are covered with red marks from the handcuffs and blood that hasn't been wiped clean.

The caption reads: "[During the filming of Jiuyoutai, actor Chen Xingzhou filmed with injuries for several consecutive days, and his wrists were bleeding from multiple cuts after work.]"

[The temperature in Hengdian reached 40°C at the time. After filming that scene where he cried out for his mother, he almost went into shock.]

This post generated even more traffic, with the hashtag #ChenXingzhouInjured# reaching 300 million views.

The hashtag #Filming at Jiuyoutai# also remained at the top of the trending searches.

After reading this, Chen Xingzhou handed the phone back to Bai Mengyan, and seeing her still slightly red eyes, he couldn't help but smile:

"What? Is it that serious? I'm perfectly fine."

"Hmph, who's worried about you? Act however you want."

She pouted and pulled Zhou Ye back to sit on the sofa, her fingers flying across the keyboard, probably to argue with those haters.

Chen Xingzhou sat down in his office, opened his phone, and the red dot of 99+ on the WeChat icon stood out.

He was tagged in the group chat of the "Princess Agents" crew all night.

He first clicked on the pinned message from Tian Xiwei, which was sent at 2:30 a.m.

Xiaotian: [Brother Xingzhou... I saw it trending... In that photo of you, were you in a lot of pain...? Why didn't you ever tell me?]

Brother Xingzhou, you are really amazing... really...

[All the comments... were saying you acted well, and I responded to those who said you acted badly by criticizing you and blocking them.]

Every time I see someone praise you, I feel both happy and sad. I'm happy that they finally noticed you, but sad because I wonder why you have to work so hard to be seen.

Chen Xingzhou's eyes softened as he replied, "It doesn't hurt."

By the way, I listened to all the recordings of your final acting class. You've improved a lot; my Xiaotian is really amazing.

[By the end of the year, once you've fulfilled our promise, you'll become my leading lady.]

Tian Xiwei replied instantly: 【Really?! ...You said it yourself! Screenshot as proof!!】

If you... lie to me, I'll never let you play with my feet again!! Humph!

Chen Xingzhou: [Do you still want to lose face?]

Tian Xiwei: [What's so shameful?! You bad man, you took someone's...first time and didn't even admit it, and now you're not taking responsibility.]

【I'm going to tell Aunt Zhou! You just wait!】

Chen Xingzhou rubbed his forehead, speechless for a moment.

How is this kid's brain even structured?!

Chen Xingzhou: [One]

Upon seeing this message, Tian Xiwei immediately backed down and replied:

I was wrong... I won't do it again ꒰*•ɷ•*꒱

But after sending the message, she realized something was wrong.

Shouldn't she be the one counting one, two, three?

However, she dared not provoke Chen Xingzhou any further.

Upon seeing Tian Xiwei's message, Chen Xingzhou nodded in satisfaction and then opened Li Yitong's WeChat.

Li Yitong: [Xingzhou, I saw the trending topic. I can't believe these are set photos. I thought they were from post-production makeup.]

【How did you get like this? It breaks my heart…】

[Also, did you see the trending topics about Yan Xun and Yuan Chun as a couple? What am I then? I knew you and Li Lin were having an affair.]

Chen Xingzhou couldn't help but chuckle.

That's just how his little wife is; she cares about people and gets jealous.

But this is just a normal woman's reaction.

As Gu Long once said: "There may be women in the world who don't eat, women who don't get jealous, but I have never seen one."

Chen Xingzhou firmly believed in this statement, and his practice proved it.

He leaned back in his chair and replied, "Jealous??"

Li Yitong: [I'll forgive you this time because you're injured.]

After chatting with Li Yitong for a few more minutes, we arrived at Meng Ziyi's place.

Meng Ziyi: [A-Zhou! Why have you never told me how hard you worked filming "Princess Agents"?! I'm angry!]

Chen Xingzhou: [?]

Meng Ziyi: [Uh... A-Zhou, I went to the hospital a few days ago, and the doctor said I...]

Upon seeing this news, Chen Xingzhou immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

Seriously, buddy?

He always takes safety precautions.

This is fucking ridiculous.

Although Meng Ziyi's pregnancy wouldn't affect his career as long as the two of them kept it a secret, it was still difficult to explain.

He quickly typed: "Are you pregnant?!?"

Meng Ziyi: [No, A-Zhou, why are you so worried?]

Although I don't want to have a child yet, after all, if I get pregnant, I won't be able to have sex with you as often, and I'd be at a disadvantage then, wouldn't I?

I just wanted to say that the doctor said my blood sugar has been a bit low lately and I need to eat more desserts to replenish it.

Seeing these words, Chen Xingzhou was speechless and replied:

"...I think you're really itching for a beating. Wait till I teach you a lesson... or I'm not a Chen."
