Ji An looked at Ye Mu who was still holding the phone and asked, “Are you done with the call?”
“Yes.” Ye Mu raised her head and gave Ji An a faint smile.
Ji An knew that Ye Mu was already married. Seeing the look on Ye Mu’s face, she couldn’t help but remind her, “You have officially debuted. A lot of people out there have high expectations for you. You must always remember to hide the fact that you are already married.”
“You must also avoid appearing in public with your husband, do you understand?”
“I understand.” Ye Mu lowered her eyes and she couldn’t help but deeply sigh.
Ye Mu was happy that she was able to continue her dream career. But she didn’t like how she had to hide her marital status. If she had the choice, then she would definitely tell the world the truth.
She was hoping that people would focus their attention on her acting, rather than her private life.
Nan Zhou was quite distant from Lin City, so despite their vehicle speeding as fast as it could.
They still arrived in Nan Zhou at night.
Ye Mu hadn’t seen the legendary male lead actor even after she had joined the team. At the previous press conference, the male lead actor was absent. The production team also didn’t state who the actor was, only saying that he was incredibly popular.
When Ye Mu checked into the hotel that night, she went downstairs to buy some things. When she came back up again, there was a hand pressing on the door, blocking her way into her room.
“To think that we would indeed meet again like I had said before… what a coincidence.” Song Zhuochen moved closer to Ye Mu as he blinked his eyes and said these words.
Ye Mu was a little surprised seeing Song Zhuochen here as she frowned, “Why are you here?”
Song Zhuochen retracted his hand and he leaned on the door of Ye Mu’s hotel room as a smirk appeared on his face, “It seems that I forgot to introduce myself.”
As he said these words in a rather casual manner, he stood up straight and stretched his hand out to Ye Mu, “Hello, I am Song Zhuochen. The male lead of this movie. I hope that we can get along considering that we have a lot of scenes together.”
“…” Ye Mu’s eyes widened and she stared at Song Zhuochen in a daze. She did not expect it to be the case, “How come?”
She was shocked that Song Zhuochen was the male lead. But in contrast to her, Song Zhuochen didn’t seem to be that astonished that she had gotten the female lead role as he shrugged, “Have you ever seen me in a supporting role before? This is normal.”
Song Zhuochen confidently said. A tinge of arrogance appeared on his face.
Ye Mu snorted, not wanting to talk to him anymore. She opened the doors of her room and she was just about to close it when Song Zhuochen’s hand suddenly stretched out to stop her from closing the door.
His slanted peach blossom eyes looked at her suggestively, “Are you not going to invite me in to take a seat?”
Ye Mu was not stupid and she knew what he meant. She rejected him directly, “No, it’s already late. Mr. Song should go and rest too.”
“All right, you should also go ahead and rest early, so you can prepare for our intimate scenes tomorrow.” Song Zhuochen said as he turned around. But he had only taken two steps when he suddenly turned to look at Ye Mu once more and reminded.
“Don’t brush your teeth tomorrow with mint-flavored toothpaste. I don’t like the taste of that thing getting onto my tongue.”
“Che.” Ye Mu snorted indifferently and closed the door.
There were really all sorts of people in this world. To think that someone as ridiculous as this guy existed. If this movie wasn’t such an excellent opportunity and if Ye Mu had known beforehand that the male lead was Song Zhuochen, she wouldn’t have agreed to act in this movie in the first place!
Even if she would undoubtedly be scolded harshly by Sister Ji, she would never take it.
Unfortunately, the contract had been signed and she no longer had a route to retreat.
She had no choice but to remain professional and finish all of her scenes with the highest quality possible.
Ye Mu was on a diet recently and she didn’t eat a lot. Her dinner was just a serving of fruits and after having washed them in the sink, a call came from Mo Shen.
“Hey,” Ye Mu dried her hands with a towel and while munching on the fruits, she continued to talk on the phone, “Are you home yet?”
The sound of a refrigerator being opened could be heard as Mo Shen replied, “Yeah, I’m here.”
As his words fell, Mo Shen swept his gaze across the particularly deserted room. After getting used to having someone else in this place. He found himself unable to adjust so quickly with Ye Mu’s absence.
“Have you had your dinner?” Mo Shen asked.
Ye Mu looked at the fruits in her hands, and answered vaguely, “I’m eating right now. You?”
“I’m about to,” Mo Shen briefly replied as he stretched his hand into the refrigerator before letting out a light sigh, “Are you still not sure when you’ll be back?”
“Not too sure yet,” Ye Mu said apologetically.
She had purposely asked the director about it, but the director simply answered that there were no set rest days and it was also unknown when the filming would end.
Mo Shen didn’t neglect to ask something crucial, “In this movie, are there a lot of intimate scenes?”
“Yes.” Ye Mu answered his question honestly.
Mo Shen stopped talking and he was silent for a while. Then, he tried to be as patient as he could and asked, “What’s the name of the movie?”
Ye Mu had no idea why Mo Shen was asking for the name of the movie, but she still told him the movie’s name truthfully.
“All right. It’s already late. You should go now and rest early.” Mo Shen glanced at his watch. He knew that Ye Mu had to wake up early tomorrow, so he went ahead and ended the call, “Good night.”
“You should also rest early too. Good night.”
Ye Mu sat in a car for an entire afternoon, so she should’ve been exhausted by now. However, when her call with Mo Shen ended. Ye Mu couldn’t sleep for a long time. Being alone on such a huge bed without Mo Shen’s scent lingering around her made her feel insecure.
The next morning, Ye Mu went to the filming site with dark bags under her eyes.
“Yo, you really didn’t use a mint-flavored toothpaste.” Song Zhuochen intentionally leaned over and sniffed.
Ye Mu took two steps back in disgust, avoiding Song Zhuochen like the plague.
“What are you running away from? We would be much closer together later!”
Song Zhuochen’s gaze became dubious as he walked closer to her. Ignoring Ye Mu’s expressions, he turned around and called out to the anxious director, “Director, can we start with the kissing scene first?”
The director anxiously scratched his hair as he instructed the screenwriter next to him, “We’ve got to change the scene! Kissing scenes aren’t allowed anymore. Change the scene into a hug!”
Song Zhuochen heard it and frowned, “Why the sudden change to a hug?”
The director looked at Song Zhuochen apologetically and said, “I’m also not sure what’s going on. The investor called us today and told us that since the movie is prepared for students. They requested to remove all intimate scenes…”
“The most intimate scene possible and allowed are only hugs.”
“…” After Song Zhuochen heard it, the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
Only hugs are allowed? What with this strange restriction?
