Promising Star - C73
In order to spend more time alone with Mu Chen in France, Xiao Jia Yu had also left behind a lot of studies. Fortunately, all the seniors were busy with filming, and the curriculum was very sparse, so she could still catch up after a short period of effort. However, compared to the attention she had occasionally received back at school, she was now able to attract more attention.
There were quite a few girls around her, and girls loved to gossip and compete with each other. Xiao Jia Yu was originally the school beauty that everyone thought would attract many people’s jealousy, but when they saw that Xin Yue was more popular than Xiao Jia Yu, some people started to mock her behind her back. However, Xiao Jia Yu’s popularity was not any worse than Xin Yue’s, so there were naturally more people talking behind her back.
It was Saturday again. Xiao Jia Yu had planned to leave school early to go to the nearby supermarket to buy some food. Mu Chen would definitely come to her house tonight to watch the final episode of “Let Love Be Together”, so she had to prepare in advance. When she was about to reach the school parking lot, she ran into their class in the woods. She was about to leave after nodding her head to the other side, but who knew that the other side would even have something to say to her?
Xiao Jia Yu stopped and looked at him: “Zi Lin, what’s the matter?”
Yu Zilin had previously participated in a martial arts movie that had gone viral in the past two months. He did not play many scenes, but in the end, he was even able to attract a lot of fans for his junior brother, who had sacrificed his life for him. He had become the most famous person in his class apart from her and Xin Yue. Yu Zilin was handsome, he wasn’t a girl, but he wasn’t particularly masculine either. He felt like a neighbor’s little brother, who could suck powder was also within his expectations.
Yu Zilin smiled and replied, “Yesterday, when I went to participate in the audition for ‘Love in Youth Finding You’, I overheard from the staff there that the female lead has already decided on you.”
Only now did Xiao Jia Yu know his goal, it seemed that Shen Feng definitely wouldn’t participate in this movie anymore. In the end, the director still let the production team accept his suggestion and chose a role in the audition. Logically speaking, this kind of public audition should be done in the presence of the filmmakers, directors, and writers, as well as the chosen protagonists. However, Xiao Jiayi’s experience was far from enough for her to participate in the casting. She recalled that she had been watching the script for almost a month. Yu Zilin’s image was indeed very suitable for the male lead of this movie, and it was also suitable for the male lead that Feng Likun had told her about.
“Zi Lin, if anything happens, you have to inform me in advance. I also look forward to seeing the two of us working together.” Xiao Jia Yu said with a smile.
Yu Zilin also smiled along with her. He looked a little shy and said, “I also really hope that I can work with you.”
Xiao Jia Yu nodded and then waved goodbye. By the time she got into her car, she had a hunch that Yu Zilin would most likely be able to get this role.
After returning home, Xiao Jia Yu first went to the bathroom to shower and change clothes. Afterwards, she hastily went to the kitchen to cook two dishes. She had not called Mu Chen in advance, but they had not seen each other since their return from France, and she guessed that he would come earlier today.
At a quarter past six, the doorbell rang. Xiao Jiayu smiled and hurried to open the door.
Mu Chen was still carrying the two dishes that he had packed in his hands. “I was in too much of a hurry, I only had enough time to get the other side of the hotel’s kitchen to make two random dishes.”
Xiao Jia Yu already took the dish from him and walked towards the kitchen, smiling as she replied: “It doesn’t matter if you didn’t bring the dish. I already knew that you would definitely come today, so I prepared dinner in advance.”
Mu Chen washed his hands and followed her into the kitchen. He took the busy girl in his arms from behind and lowered his head to kiss the top of her head. Smelling the fragrance, he smiled and asked, “You knew I was coming, so you washed yourself clean in advance?”
Xiao Jia Yu lowered her head and hit his hand that was wrapped around her waist. She smiled and said: “Stop being so improper and quickly let go. The pot is still cooking. If you fry it later, don’t blame me.”
Mu Chen reached out to turn off the fire, then turned Xiao Jia Yu’s body to face him. He lowered his head to lean on her head, his eyes filled with a gentleness that was about to come out of the water, “It’s alright to be idle in France for a few days, but after coming back I’ve accumulated a lot of things. I think when I want my father and uncle to give me a vacation, they might be happy themselves, but it’s severely affecting my personal life. I’ve been wanting to look for you every day, and hearing from you that you’ve been busy studying recently, I found it hard to come over. ”
Xiao Jia Yu slightly tiptoed and raised her hand to hug his neck, smiling as she said: “It’s better if you don’t think about putting him on leave. When the end of the year’s Golden Yulan Prize ends, I’ll be almost ready to enter the film crew. I suspect that I’ll have to stay in the film crew during the new year.
Mu Chen’s expression instantly turned to one of grief as he moved closer to her, implying, “Little Fishy, you don’t need me to work so hard. You must think of a way to comfort me in advance.”
Mu Chen smiled as he endured her rare warmth, and very quickly, his kiss deepened as he carried her to the counter. She felt weak all over and wanted to lean back against the wall, but who would have thought that her hand accidentally knocked over a dish that she had just prepared.
Xiao Jiayi: “…” It really shouldn’t be done in the kitchen.
Mu Chen frowned as he let her go. He immediately pulled her down from the counter. “Did you get burned?”
Xiao Jia Yu shook her head and looked at him sorrowfully. “There are no more fish-flavored meat.”
The two of them glanced at each other and couldn’t help but laugh. Xiao Jia Yu kicked him and scolded: “Get the hell out of here. If I let a hooligan like you stay here any longer, I think I won’t be able to eat all the food I made.”
Mu Chen leaned over and kissed her again before obediently walking out of the kitchen.
Xiao Jia Yu quickly cleaned up the place, turned on the fire and continued to cook. She bit her lips and could still feel his enthusiasm, she couldn’t help but think, the two of them were clearly not married yet, yet they made it seem as if they were newlyweds, so awkward and so sweet.
In the evening, the two of them had dinner together. Mu Chen took the initiative to take over washing the dishes, while Xiao Jiayu sat on the sofa and started to run Weibo. The official Weibo account of Love Is Together had always been a hot topic. Tonight was the final episode. The authorities and fans had made this episode very popular in advance, and the earlier announcements were filled with sweet and abusive scenes that kept the audience in suspense.
When Mu Chen finished washing the dishes, there was still some time before the program would start. Xiao Jiayu then got up to make a fruit platter.
After a while, Mu Chen insisted on letting Xiao Jiayao feed him the fruits. Who knew that after feeding him, the taste would change again, and the two people on the sofa would become flirtatious.
Xiao Jia Yu looked at him speechlessly and asked, “If you’re like this, how am I supposed to feed you fruits?”
Mu Chen replied seriously, “Now it’s my turn to feed you.” He took an apple in his mouth and kissed her.
The two of them kept on fooling around for a while, and the program soon began.
The last episode of the program was clearly broadcasted according to how popular the couple was as a pair. Cheng Lan and An Deqiu were placed at the very front.
Their date had continued in a gorgeous style, with the last shoot being filmed in an old castle in Europe. The two of them danced in classical dress and then told each other they didn’t want to part from each other.
Xiao Jia Yu looked at the undisguised expression on An Duoqiu’s face as she looked at Cheng Lan, and then saw that Cheng Lan was so touched that he was crying. She then recalled what the director had told her.
When the two of them were about to separate for the last time, An Deqiu said to Cheng Lan, “Cheng Lan, can I still come and find you after the program ends?”
Cheng Lan replied with a smile, “We might as well forget about the martial arts world.” She used the famous phrase of “Zhuangzi” to express her attitude.
Xiao Jiayao nestled in Mu Chen’s embrace as he said with a sigh, “It’s not bad if Cheng Lan is really with An Deqiu. Beautiful men and women are the most pleasing to the eye. Moreover, Cheng Lan’s personality, which is always hidden in the heart, should indeed be found by a more mature man.”
Seeing that she was commenting on other people’s affairs, Mu Chen laughed, “I thought you should support your cousin Yu Mingxuan in this matter. He just broke up with Cheng Lan, yet you think that Cheng Lan is suitable for another man in the blink of an eye.”
Xiao Jia Yu pouted and shook her head, “Ignoring the fact that my relationship with Yu Xuan isn’t that good, objectively speaking, his and Cheng Lan’s personalities aren’t suitable to begin with. It’s a good thing that we broke up early.”
Mu Chen suddenly told Xiao Jiayu something private about the company, “Cheng Lan’s appointment with Tian Chen is almost over, but she hasn’t said a word about renewing the contract. I’m guessing that she might want to do it herself.”
Xiao Jiayu said strangely, “Cheng Lan is now one of the female celebrities. If the other entertainment companies had offered a high price, it would have been impossible for her to jump in. How can you be so sure that she is going to do it alone?”
Mu Chen shook his head and said, “It’s true that you’ve never come into contact with Cheng Lan in private. Although that girl doesn’t like to talk, she’s actually very kind and very grateful.
Xiao Jia Yu pretended to be disdainful. “That’s right. It’s true that I have never come into contact with Cheng Lan in private. How can I be like Director Mu who is in contact with all kinds of beautiful female celebrities every day?”
After Mu Chen and Xiao Jia Yu were together, they no longer had much of an image in front of her. At this time, they shamelessly replied: “How can there be anyone else in my eyes? The most beautiful is in my arms.”
Xiao Jia Yu snorted as the corner of her mouth curled up uncontrollably. It just so happened that the pair of Shen Feng and Jiang Qing on the television was almost done broadcasting. She seriously watched the television.
Jiang Qing was worthy of being called a big baby by her on the internet. When she was about to be separated from Shen Feng, she was about to burst into tears and her eyes were so swollen that it was hard to look at.
Shen Feng couldn’t bear to see Jiang Qing act like this. He sighed and pulled her into his embrace. After several episodes of filming, their interaction patterns had also quietly changed. Shen Feng initially felt disdain towards Jiang Qing, but even now, he still felt disdain for her, but in his heart, he still cared about her. Jiang Qing had pretended not to know that Shen Feng didn’t like her from the start, but now, she realized that Shen Feng was just being stubborn and soft-hearted. He barely hid any of her emotions from her. This was indeed the biggest change for the CP program.
Seeing that Jiang Qing was crying nonstop, Shen Feng impatiently said, “Don’t cry anymore. It’s not like we won’t be able to see each other again for the rest of our lives.”
Jiang Qing raised her head and asked nervously, “Can I come to Hong Kong to look for you?”
Shen Feng pursed his lips, in the end, he still nodded his head, but could not help but say: “You better be careful of Hong Kong’s dog boy, with your height, it is very easy for you to be discovered.”
