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

Chapter 94 Why did you adjust Teacher Bailu like this?

Chen Xingzhou approached Tian Xiwei and said softly, "You're here?"

She kept her head down, not daring to look up, her voice hoarse: "Mmm—"

"Look at your eyes, they're so swollen," Chen Xingzhou said, pulling her hat up to reveal her entire face.

"No! — No, it doesn't look good —" Tian Xiwei lowered her head even further, her voice trembling with tears.

"You don't look good? Then why are you still drinking milk tea? I told you to drink less. Xiao Lu really wasn't wrong to call you 'piggy,' look at you, you've turned into a little ball!"

.

Chen Xingzhou smiled and pinched her chubby cheeks.

I must say, it feels really good, he likes it.

"You're scolding me again—" Tian Xiwei finally raised her head, wiped her eyes, and pouted.

"no."

"Hmph—" she muttered, noticing the hat on his head, and her heart tightened.

She reached out her small hand and tentatively took off his hat, then stood on tiptoe to look at his wound.

Seeing that the wound was covered with a band-aid instead of being wrapped in gauze, she felt a little relieved.

She put down her hat and looked at him again, her voice filled with fear: "Brother Xingzhou—am I...am I being very willful?"

"No." Chen Xingzhou shook his head.

"Really?" Tian Xiwei asked expectantly.

She wasn't testing his limits, but rather afraid that he would distance himself from her.

She was too hasty this time, eager to deepen their relationship, which almost led to disaster.

Chen Xingzhou looked down at her and nodded seriously: "Really."

He wasn't lying. Although Tian Xiwei's willfulness played a part in what happened yesterday, it wasn't that much of a factor.

The two of them had teased each other like this before, but back then he was still a blockhead, the kind of blockhead who was indifferent to Tian Xiwei.

Moreover, Tian Xiwei's demeanor is more authentic, unlike how she always obediently listens to him and does whatever he says.

This wasn't how he remembered her.

In his memory, Tian Xiwei was someone who would retaliate without hesitation if someone bullied her for no reason.

She is still a kind person, but her temper has the characteristics of a woman from Sichuan and Chongqing.

"You're so kind—" Tian Xiwei tugged at his sleeve, her tone softening. "I won't do that again. At most, I'll just say it."

"Also, I will try my best to lose weight—I will never drink milk tea again."

Seeing her like this, Chen Xingzhou nodded in satisfaction.

He had actually wanted to remind Tian Xiwei about losing weight for a while.

Tian Xiwei's appearance has changed a lot. He compared her photos from 16 and 26 in his previous life.

She was chubby in 16, and apart from being cute, she didn't have any other distinctive features.

At 26, she had matured, learned to dress well, and blossomed into womanhood.

It's not that he dislikes people with lots of collagen; he actually prefers slightly chubby people.

However, when Tian Xiwei is about to film, she needs to be a little thinner.

After all, people know that you look fatter on camera, and this is even more evident in actors.

That's why most female celebrities are so thin, practically like bamboo poles.

She certainly won't look good on camera now, at least not as good as she would look after losing weight.

"By the way, Brother Xingzhou, I have to go now. This holiday is only 7 days long —"

Tian Xiwei muttered, looking up at him.

"Okay, I'll see you off."

"Hmph—not now, wait until this afternoon. I need to talk to Sister Ziyi about something first—"

Watching Tian Xiwei's departing figure, Chen Xingzhou raised an eyebrow.

What's this girl up to?

Taking advantage of the fact that Meng Ziyi hasn't figured out their identities yet, you're going to make a scene, huh?

Or are you going to reveal the relationship between the two?

He was at ease with Tian Xiwei. Although she was a bit of a prankster, she wouldn't go so far as to use this identity to mess with Meng Ziyi.

However, he couldn't imagine how Meng Ziyi would react when she found out about this.

The two women's relationship instantly changed from "best sisters" to "irreconcilable rivals"?

Then just tear it apart?

He sighed and went back behind the monitor.

On the other side, Meng Ziyi was resting in the dressing room when she saw Tian Xiwei arrive. She immediately greeted her with a smile.

"XiXi, how is it? AZhou didn't say anything about you, did he?"

"No," Tian Xiwei shook her head and pulled Meng Ziyi toward the sofa.

Meng Ziyi was stunned for a moment, looking at her mysterious appearance with curiosity.

However, after sitting down, she remembered that it was Tian Xiwei who caused Chen Xingzhou's injury yesterday.

Her smile faded slightly, her lips moved, but she ultimately didn't speak.

She saw that Tian Xiwei's eyes were still red and swollen, and guessed that she must be feeling bad too.

And it's unlikely she did it on purpose.

If she herself caused Chen Xingzhou to get injured, she would probably feel even worse.

As she thought about it, her anger subsided considerably.

Tian Xiwei had been watching Meng Ziyi's expression closely and understood what was going on.

She had always considered Meng Ziyi a shameless woman, yet she liked Meng Ziyi's personality.

Meng Ziyi was genuinely a bit silly when he cared about her, but he wasn't entirely useless.

That's why she felt even more indebted to Meng Ziyi.

Perhaps she shouldn't have lied to Meng Ziyi in the first place, saying she was Chen Xingzhou's sister; they should have had a fair and square duel.

Should we tell you now?

She opened her mouth, then stopped talking.

She then brought up the matter of Chen Xingzhou's injury.

"Sister Ziyi, you're not angry that I caused Brother Xingzhou to get hurt?"

Hearing Tian Xiwei's question, Meng Ziyi was a little surprised, and then pinched her cheek.

"Why should I blame you? You didn't do it on purpose. Look how swollen your eyes are."

Tian Xiwei's lips moved slightly as her face was pinched, and her eyes became a little moist.

Meng Ziyi continued, "Actually, I wanted to question you just now, but after thinking about it, I felt it was unnecessary. Yesterday, when I saw A-Zhou was injured, I instinctively wanted to cry. I can't compare to Bai Mengyan in that respect."

As she spoke, she pinched Tian Xiwei's cheek again, her tone earnest: "But—Xixi, don't let Azhou get hurt next time, okay?"

Tian Xiwei grasped her hand and nodded emphatically, "Mm."

In the afternoon, after seeing Tian Xiwei off, Chen Xingzhou resumed filming.

"Cut, reshoot."

Chen Xingzhou's calm voice came from behind the monitor, causing Bai Mengyan, who was standing under the light, to purse her lips.

She had already done six takes for this scene, but she still hadn't met Chen Xingzhou's expectations.

Her eyes were a little red, but looking at the crew members next to her who were also a bit tired, she took a deep breath and nodded.

A moment later, Chen Xingzhou said again, "Cut, let's rest for thirty minutes before reshooting."

Without even glancing at Bai Mengyan, he turned and walked out of the film set.

Zhou Ye glanced at Bai Mengyan, whose eyes were already filled with tears but who was still forcing a smile, and then at Chen Xingzhou's departing figure, hesitating about which way to go.

She stood there for two seconds and decided to comfort Bai Mengyan first.

Zhou Ye came to Bai Mengyan's side and pulled her towards the private lounge next door.

The people on set were quiet, and only started whispering among themselves after the three had left.

"Brother Zhou—no, Director Chen seems a bit serious today."

"You're new here, right? Back in the 'A Love So Beautiful' crew, Director Chen was just like this. Once he sits in the director's seat, he doesn't hold back."

"But why did they get scolded like this by Teacher Bailu? Aren't they—"

"No, don't spread rumors. I don't want to be kicked out of the crew."

lounge.

Zhou Ye patted Bai Mengyan's hand and said softly, "Sister Lu, don't be sad. Maybe Senior is in a bad mood today."

"No, it's just that I didn't act well. It's my problem, it has nothing to do with him."

Bai Mengyan bit her lip, gently shook her head, and looked down at the script in her hand.

She said that to Zhou Ye, but she couldn't help feeling very sad.

Chen Xingzhou had never treated her like this before, but this time, while seemingly not criticizing her, he didn't say anything to her or point out her problems.

That's what made her even more frustrated.

She knew that Chen Xingzhou wouldn't deliberately make things difficult for her; her own problem was the biggest one, but she couldn't figure out what it was right now.

Hearing Bai Mengyan's answer, Zhou Ye sighed inwardly.

Sister Lu still cares about her senior so much, even taking all the blame upon herself.

Just then, there was a knock on the door of the lounge.

The two of them immediately looked up.

A hint of anticipation flashed in Bai Mengyan's eyes.

A bittersweet smile spread across Zhou Ye's face as he immediately got up to open the door.

However, the person who came was not Chen Xingzhou, whom they had expected, but Meng Ziyi.

"Senior Ziyi? What brings you here?"

"I just heard from the crew that Sister Bai had to do several takes, so I came to check on her."

As she spoke, she met Bai Mengyan's eyes.

Seeing Bai Mengyan's somewhat disheveled appearance, Meng Ziyi couldn't help but feel a little smug.

In the past, she was always the one who lost, and had to look at Bai Mengyan's spirited and dignified appearance.

It was only after working together on a film set that she realized her acting skills were the best among the three women.

Bai Mengyan and Zhou Ye are about the same level, except that Bai Mengyan is a little more mature.

However, Meng Ziyi suppressed his pride and began to comfort Bai Mengyan.

Meanwhile, in Chen Xingzhou's office.

He sighed, sat down in his office chair, and turned on his computer.

He could have avoided talking to Bai Mengyan like that today; he could have even pointed out her problems immediately.

However, he noticed that she had been having a lot of success lately, and wasn't as serious as before.

In the past, after each scene was filmed, Bai Mengyan would ask him to review it, and he improved very quickly.

But she stopped doing that two weeks ago.

-

That's why he couldn't let her continue to have her way; he had to be aware of the potential danger.

Bringing himself back to reality, he began his task for the day: [selling Bitcoin].

Today is June 6th, and the price of one Bitcoin has reached 20,000 yuan.

It will reach a peak of 21,000 yuan on June 12.

He logged into Huobi and started operating.

The first transaction involved 200 coins, which were sold. A few seconds later, a message appeared on the screen indicating that the transaction was successful.
