After playing poker for two hours, Chen Zhang received a call from his assistant and left first.
Mu Tingzhou and Xiao Zhao sat facing each other, with a strong aura. Although it was her guest room, Ming Wei had the illusion that they were the owners.
There were fruits on the coffee table. Xiao Zhao peeled an orange while looking at them curiously: "How far have you progressed?"
From last night till now, Mu Tingzhou has been going in and out of Mingwei's guest room, just like a very filial boyfriend. He expected that there would be developments.
Ming Wei lowered her head to drink water, not ashamed, but with mixed feelings. Xiao Zhao was probably the only witness of her relationship with Mu Tingzhou.
Mu Tingzhou ignored Xiao Zhao.
Xiao Zhao is an outsider after all. He can give Mu Tingzhou a push when he makes a foolish move, but it is not convenient for him to intervene too much. After eating an orange, Xiao Zhao touched the orange peel in front of him and said to the coffee table: "Let's keep your love affair a secret for now." There are too many uncertainties in Mu Tingzhou's memory. If he doesn't handle it well, Ming Wei will be the one who will be hurt by public opinion in the future.
Mingwei nodded.
Xiao Zhao threw the orange peel into the trash can and left.
"You, go back to your room and have a rest?" Ming Wei, standing in front of the entrance, asked Mu Tingzhou in a low voice after sending Xiao Zhao away. There was nothing for him to do if he stayed at her side all the time.
"Okay." Mu Tingzhou picked up the bouquet sent by Chen Zhang and walked towards her.
Mingwei looked puzzled.
Mu Tingzhou stopped in front of her, looked at her and asked, "Do you like this?"
Uh... Mingwei suddenly felt that there was something fishy about these words, even though the cold and steady Taifu didn't seem like the kind of person who would get jealous.
"It's okay, but I don't particularly like it." Mingwei answered cautiously.
Mu Tingzhou smiled faintly and said as a matter of course: "Then I will take care of it for the princess." After that, he walked past her, opened the door and left.
Mingwei was stunned.
But Mu Tingzhou was fair. He took her bouquet of flowers and sent her a potted green plant without flowers before dinner. Mingwei bent down to take a closer look and guessed, "Peony?"
Mu Tingzhou was beside her, wearing a neat suit. Facing Mingwei's speculative gaze, he said naturally, "Yes, the princess is a golden branch and jade leaf. Only Peony is worthy of the princess."
If someone else said it, this compliment would sound too fake and empty, but when it came from his mouth, Mingwei almost thought she was that beautiful.
She blushed and lowered her head, using disdain to cover up her shy sweetness: "Others are sending flowers, but yours hasn't even bloomed yet, what are you looking at, it's bare."
Mu Tingzhou: "Picked flowers will wither in a few days. The princess has taken good care of this flower pot, and it can be enjoyed every March and April."
Mingwei gently touched the leaves of the peony and said worriedly, "I have never raised a peony before. I am afraid I can't keep it alive."
For Mu Tingzhou, those were no big deal: "I will take care of it for the princess."
After hearing this, Mingwei's heart was suddenly filled with sweetness. Actually, Mu Tingzhou was not good at saying sweet words, but his serious words were more touching than corny love words.
After dinner, Mu Tingzhou saw her take the medicine before leaving. Mingwei went to sleep at around 7 o'clock. She woke up naturally at around 6 o'clock the next day. She sat up and felt that her strength was back, but she was a little weak. It is not good to stay in bed all the time for a cold. Mingwei got out of bed, washed her face, and went downstairs with Mu Tingzhou and others to eat. That night, Mingwei felt that she could go back to work and called the director. Director Gao admired Mingwei's dedication, but tomorrow was all Chen Zhang and the supporting actors' scenes, so he arranged for Mingwei to start work the day after tomorrow.
"Thank you, Director Gao."
Mingwei hung up the phone happily and leaned against the head of the bed to memorize her lines. After she had memorized two paragraphs, Chen Zhang called her.
"I heard from Director Gao that you will resume work the day after tomorrow?"
"Yeah, I've been resting for so long. If I don't shoot more, I'm going to gain weight."
Her voice was full of energy. Chen Zhang smiled and teased her in a low voice: "It seems that our Master Taifu is very good at taking care of patients."
Mingwei scratched her head, suddenly not knowing how to respond.
Chen Zhang didn't embarrass her, and changed the subject to get down to business: "By the way, I watched a few kissing scenes of rough guys during the day and learned some experience. When we start filming, we will kiss for real and pretend. Later, we will use borrowed shots to show that it is very intense. I edited a few videos and will send them to you later. You can get a feel for it. Before filming, we will rehearse the specific movements and make some changes."
Ming Wei was really surprised: "Have you discussed this with Director Gao?"
Chen Zhang: "Well, Director Gao lets us play freely."
Ming Wei was very impressed: "You are so experienced. I thought we had to shoot it according to how the script was written."
Chen Zhang leaned back in his chair and sighed exaggeratedly, "I also want to save trouble and take advantage of the young lady, but you are not single now, and your family members are watching. I dare not do anything reckless."
He liked Ming Wei, but not deeply enough. Since Ming Wei already had someone in her heart, and the other party was also an actor he could not surpass in a short time, Chen Zhang put aside his distraction and prepared to be a professional actor. As for reducing the kissing scenes, Chen Zhang was afraid that he would taste too much and lose control and reveal the truth, which would embarrass both of them.
She was talking incoherently on the other end of the phone, as if she was trying to clarify. Chen Zhang spun his pen and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else. It's just that his situation is special. You should handle it on your own and don't get too involved."
They couldn't be lovers, but he really wanted to be friends with Mingwei and didn't want her to get hurt.
"Chen Zhang, you're so nice." People say the entertainment industry is complicated, and Ming Wei was indescribably touched to have a friend like Chen Zhang.
Chen Zhang chuckled: "Who made you the princess and I the prince consort? We have a friendship established by heaven and earth."
"I'll treat you to a meal after we finish filming the day after tomorrow," Ming Wei said generously.
After the dinner, Mingwei put down the script and focused on watching the rough kissing scenes sent by Chen Zhang. After watching them several times, Mingwei closed her eyes and tried to put herself into the role, imagining Gao Changsheng pressing over and forcefully kissing her. However, perhaps because she had just confirmed her relationship with Mu Tingzhou, all that popped into her mind was Mu Tingzhou.
With a "ding" sound, there was a WeChat message: Tutor: The princess has not recovered yet, it's time to go to bed.
Whoever you want can come. Mingwei bit her lip, sent the most innocent version of the kiss scene video sent by Chen Zhang to Mu Tingzhou, and then waited anxiously.
One minute, two minutes, the video was sent, but Mu Tingzhou did not respond.
Mingwei felt a little regretful and sent a voice message to explain in annoyance: "The previous kiss scene was quite intense in the script, but Director Gao said to change it to this way, and we had to rely on stealing shots later." Didn't he resist her kissing scenes? Now they can kiss less, Mu Tingzhou should be happier, right
The screen flickered, and Taifu said: Okay, Princess, go to bed early.
Mingwei: Oh…
After typing "Oh", Mingwei added punctuation and deleted it, and finally added an ellipsis with profound meaning, but the recipient did not understand, and WeChat fell silent. Mingwei looked out the window, knowing that Mu Tingzhou would judge her sleep time based on whether she turned off the lights or not, so she lay in bed without turning off the lights.
Half an hour later, the tutor sent her another WeChat message to urge her to go to bed.
Mingwei pouted: I can’t sleep.
Taifu: Are you feeling unwell
Ming Wei turned over and asked him directly: "There are fewer kissing scenes, are you unhappy?"
In the next room, after hearing her questioning with a hint of grievance, Mu Tingzhou was stunned. He was indeed unhappy. No matter how many kissing scenes there were, Chen Zhang would kiss her. He just couldn't understand it. He didn't show it in his words. How did the princess guess his mood? Checking the chat records, Mu Tingzhou typed: How do you know
Ming Wei snorted: "You are so quiet, it's obvious that you don't want to pay attention to me."
Mu Tingzhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry. How could he not want to pay attention to her? It was just that at that time, he didn't know what to say.
"Forget it. Next time when I'm filming intimate scenes, I'll tell you in advance so you don't have to be there and don't watch it after it's aired." Understanding his troubles, Ming Wei proposed a solution.
Mu Tingzhou replied immediately: No need, the princess likes filming, I will accept it as soon as possible.
Mingwei touched his costume version of the still photo and asked: Aren’t you afraid of being jealous
Mu Tingzhou was not used to such conversations, and replied after a few seconds: I will adjust.
Ming Wei thought about it and sent a head-patting emoji: "I didn't think too much about accepting the script this time. I will learn from you in the future and try not to accept intimate scenes."
Mu Tingzhou smiled: Thank you, Princess.
Mingwei smiled and said: Go to sleep, good night.
After saying good night, Mingwei still couldn't fall asleep. An idea had sprouted in her heart, and like a bamboo shoot after the rain, it was growing stronger and stronger.
After tossing and turning, Mu Tingzhou called, but Mingwei hung up.
Mu Tingzhou changed his WeChat message: Why aren’t you sleeping yet
Mingwei: I can’t sleep.
This is the second time she said she couldn't sleep tonight. Mu Tingzhou was helpless: Did I say something wrong again
Mingwei shook her head: No, I just feel a little unwilling.
Mu Tingzhou was confused: What is wrong with him
Mingwei crawled into bed, her face burning. He asked her three times in a row before she slowly typed: For example, there is a bear that has never eaten honey. One day someone gave it a can of honey, and it happily ate it. The next day someone gave it honey again, and it was also very happy. Then I want to ask Master, which of these two days did it feel happier when eating honey
Mu Tingzhou stared at this childish question several times, and after making sure there was no hidden meaning, he tried to answer: The first time.
Mingwei smiled secretly: You are right, what’s the reason
Mu Tingzhou breathed a sigh of relief: The first time was more meaningful.
Mingwei typed more slowly and worded more carefully: Yes, everything you do for the first time is new and has special meaning. I looked at Chen Zhang's previous TV dramas and movies, and he has kissed other actresses several times. I have never kissed anyone since I was a child, not counting the time I kissed someone with a safety film on my face. How can I be willing to give my first kiss to acting
Mu Tingzhou raised his eyebrows: Who was the one who kissed the princess last time
Ming Wei curled her lips: The male lead of "The Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty", he dislikes me and doesn't want to have any lip contact with me.
Mu Tingzhou immediately opened the browser to search. When the answer popped up on the page, he suddenly remembered that it was a play he had filmed before he became a tutor. So, he had had physical contact with the princess before he woke up? This felt very strange. Mu Tingzhou searched for kiss scene safety film again. There was not much information, but it was enough for him to understand.
Looking at the princess's previous words, Mu Tingzhou was silent. The princess was extremely beautiful, and the "movie king" dared to despise her. Was there something wrong
A minute later, Mu Tingzhou replied: The princess has been wronged.
Ming Wei didn't intend to settle scores later, she was hinting at something else, but the man opposite didn't seem to notice.
Mingwei was really unwilling that she couldn't share her first kiss with the person she loved, but she had already hinted at it clearly and was too embarrassed to express it explicitly.
She typed dejectedly: Forget it, I'm going to sleep.
Mu Tingzhou thought quickly and said: I will prepare a safety film for the princess.
Ming Wei sneered: Last time it was just a light touch, this time it’s more intense, so I can’t use a membrane.
Mu Tingzhou was at a loss for a moment.
Mingwei crawled out of bed and sulked alone. How could there be such a stupid person in the world

Mu Tingzhou lifted the curtains several times and saw that the light next door was still on. He returned to his desk and searched "What should a woman do if she is unwilling to give her first kiss to someone else?" After flipping through several pages and finding no results that matched the princess's situation, Mu Tingzhou picked up his phone, hesitated again and again, gave up asking Xiao Zhao, and instead registered an anonymous forum to post a message for help.
Topic post: During a program rehearsal, a girl doesn’t want to give her first kiss to her male co-star. What should she do
Comment 1: Do you have a boyfriend? If you do, kiss him first! If not, look at the looks of your male classmates.
Reply: Come to me, I’m an excellent kisser, I guarantee you’ll be addicted.
Comment 3: Find a boyfriend quickly, your first kiss can’t be wasted!
"… "
There were many replies, and Mu Tingzhou kept refreshing the page. In the end, except for some indecent replies, the others all suggested that girls give their first kiss to their boyfriends. The princess' boyfriend...
Mu Tingzhou suddenly felt thirsty, closed his notebook, and went to the balcony again. The evening breeze could not blow away the fire in his heart. Mu Tingzhou turned his head and saw that the light on her side was still on. She was unwilling to give her first kiss to Chen Zhang, so would the princess be willing to give it to him
Mu Tingzhou didn't know, and he didn't dare to ask.
Mu Tingzhou looked away, hesitant, and suddenly heard the sound of a window being pushed open next door. Mu Tingzhou turned around in shock and saw her walking out in her pajamas, her soft black hair was blown by the wind, she tucked it to the side of her ear, and when she tilted her head, her eyes naturally moved to this side. Mu Tingzhou instinctively prepared to salute, but just as he raised his hand, she ran away as if frightened, and "bang" closed the window.
Mu Tingzhou stood there in a daze, looking at his watch. It was not yet nine o'clock in the evening.
Thinking of her abnormal behavior, Mu Tingzhou frowned and went to knock on the door. (83 Chinese.83.)
