Ye Cang's lips brushed against his, gently caressing them, and he whispered, "Ah Huai, I love you."
Shen Huai opened his eyes, and the two looked at each other. He could feel the deep affection in Ye Cang's eyes. His previously stiff body slowly softened, and he raised his hand to hug Ye Cang's neck: "Me too..."
Ye Cang was surprised to hear such a frank answer, and his eyes lit up with intense joy.
Even though he had recently realized that Shen Huai's attitude had softened, Shen Huai's previous avoidance still made him feel uneasy. After leaving the restaurant, he felt like he was in a dream and couldn't believe it.
Now, Shen Huai's words finally put his mind at ease.
Shen Huai wanted to say something, but Ye Cang had already covered his mouth.
His words were like encouragement to Ye Cang, and coupled with Shen Huai's response, he kissed him even more deeply.
However, Shen Huai then felt Ye Cang's hand slip inside his clothes. He immediately snapped out of it and pushed him away, saying, "No... I have to catch a flight tomorrow."
Ye Cang: "..."
Ye Cang was looking at Shen Huai with resentment when he was ruthlessly kicked out of the room.
After closing the door, Shen Huai took off his glasses, pressed his forehead, and looked quite helpless. Although he had already figured things out and decided to be with Ye Cang, he never expected their relationship to progress so quickly.
But when his gaze fell on Ye Cang's album on the table, the smile on his face faded considerably.
Ye Cang is no longer the newcomer he once was. The sudden emergence of "Rebirth" made him an instant sensation. Shen Huai could even foresee that after returning to China, Ye Cang's every move would be under scrutiny. If people discovered that they were together, who knew how much damage it would do to Ye Cang's career.
Shen Huai decided that he would have a good talk with Ye Cang tomorrow, telling him not to act too intimately in public, especially after returning to China.
Ye Cang wasn't the type to ignore advice. After Shen Huai spoke to him, he did behave himself a bit outside, but once he returned to his room, he was like a completely different person.
The two had just gotten together, and Ye Cang was in the throes of newfound pleasure, practically wanting to be inseparable from Shen Huai. He was practically a senile emperor who had neglected his duties from morning court. If he weren't afraid of upsetting Shen Huai, he probably wouldn't even want to go to the promotional events.
It was rare for Shen Huai to be so overwhelmed. Fortunately, the overseas promotional activities were coming to an end and he was about to return to China, which relieved him.
Ye Cang was still somewhat reluctant to part, after all, once he returned to China, there were too many people paying attention to him, and it would probably be difficult to maintain such close relationships.
With completely different feelings, the two boarded the plane back home.
-
Upon returning, Shen Huai immediately plunged into busy work.
Although Ye Cang's overseas promotional activities have been completed, there are still many things to do afterward, including Chu Meibo's matter.
Shen Huai contacted the production team of "Red Actress." The person in charge of communicating with him was Director Xie's assistant, who told him that the audition would likely be held after the New Year, and they would be notified again at that time, so they should prepare accordingly. Shen Huai wanted to ask more about who else was participating in the audition, but the other party was tight-lipped and hung up the phone after giving the notification.
Director Xie is very strict with his actors and absolutely forbids them from working on multiple projects at the same time. Otherwise, no matter how outstanding an actor is, he will not use them.
Shen Huai mentally reviewed Chu Meibo's upcoming schedule.
Because the audition time for "Red Actress" is uncertain, it means that Shen Huai cannot help Chu Meibo get any more roles to avoid scheduling conflicts.
Fortunately, Chu Meibo's two dramas have finished filming, and the variety show "Traveling with History" has a confirmed recording schedule. Two episodes will be recorded before the Chinese New Year, and the show will be broadcast on Zhongjing TV after the New Year. The show will have a total of ten episodes and will be completed by the end of April.
If both "The Secret" and "Honey" are successfully released during this period, Chu Meibo will have works to back her up, which will be beneficial for her subsequent promotion.
Just as Shen Huai was thinking this, he suddenly received a call from the publicity team of "Honey", informing him that "Honey" was scheduled to be released on Valentine's Day next year, and they hoped that Chu Meibo could cooperate with the production team to promote it.
The filming of "Honey" started later than that of "The Secret of Heaven," but "Honey" is a light-hearted campus web series, which allows for more flexible broadcasting. In addition, it has few special effects, a short number of episodes, and a fast post-production editing speed, so the final product is already out.
Shen Huai agreed and opened Weibo, just in time to see that the official Weibo account of "Honey" had just released the first trailer.
The trailer was beautifully edited, the male lead was handsome and aloof, the female lead was spoiled yet sweet, and the supporting cast was also outstanding. Coupled with the good reputation established by the previous work, the trailer received many comments and shares as soon as it was released.
[Aww, it's finally out!]
[Looking forward to it! I hope the viewership will soar and achieve the same success as "Sweet"!]
I watched the trailer and it looks pretty good, I'll definitely watch it.
[I definitely have to watch this; I've already prepared the money to buy a membership.]
[Yi Bao is so handsome! He looks so good in his school uniform!!!]
[Xuanxuan is the most beautiful! Xuanxuan is the best!]
The male and female leads are quite good-looking, but why do I feel like there's no chemistry between them?
[Wait!! Who is that girl who appeared at 53 seconds?! She's so pretty and gentle!]
[Wen Nan's gaze towards Meng Shishi is so tender, oh my god, my heart is melting!]
What amazing best friends! The writers absolutely mustn't make them suffer!
The male lead, Wen Hanyi, is a popular young actor. Even before the drama aired, many of his fans were looking forward to it. Now that Wen Hanyi has reposted the Weibo post, many of his fans have flocked to the trailer, showering him with compliments.
Chu Meibo has attracted a lot of attention since Kui Ji's clip went viral online. However, she rarely uses Weibo. She only posted one message after downloading the app and then stopped using it.
After Shen Huai told her about the production team's requirements, she opened Weibo and first followed the official Weibo account of "Honey" and the Weibo accounts of all the actors before forwarding the trailer.
Ever since Kui Ji's video, Yu Qianqian has become obsessed with Chu Meibo. However, Chu Meibo is a newcomer and doesn't usually interact with fans on Weibo. So, after that wave of trending topics passed, many people lost interest and unfollowed her.
But Yu Qianqian didn't. She was eagerly anticipating the premiere of "The Secret of Heaven" and even set Chu Meibo and the official Weibo account of "The Secret of Heaven" as special followers. She would check Weibo from time to time, but apart from that smiley face, Chu Meibo never posted on Weibo again.
That day, Yu Qianqian got home from work and was planning to browse Weibo for a while before cooking. But as soon as she opened her phone, she saw a Weibo notification.
The user "Chu Meibo" whom you are following has just posted a Weibo post.
Without thinking twice, Yu Qianqian quickly opened Weibo and saw that Chu Meibo's Weibo had reposted the trailer from the official Weibo account of "Honey".
