When Zhou Yang arrived on set driving the imposing Cullinan, it caused quite a stir once again.

The college student extras, in particular, who were still riding shared bikes or squeezing onto buses and subways to get to the film set, were practically staring wide-eyed.

"Holy crap! Yesterday it was a Pagani, and today it's a Cullinan?!"

"This...is this the power of money? I'm so jealous, so incredibly jealous!"

"We're both in our early twenties, but he drives a Rolls-Royce with beautiful women, while we're still worrying about next month's Alipay bill. It's infuriating to compare ourselves to others!"

Zhou Yang was already used to these discussions. He wasn't much older than these college students, but their experiences and wealth were worlds apart.

Today is his last day on set, and he can basically finish filming all his scenes as the fifth male lead.

Several hours passed.

As Lin Chuan shouted the final cry, "Cut! Perfect! The fifth male lead has wrapped filming!"

Zhou Yang's role in the drama has officially come to an end.

Lin Chuan stepped forward, patted Zhou Yang's shoulder forcefully, and smiled sincerely.

"Zhou Yang, you've worked hard. You did an excellent job with this role. I'll treat you to a wrap party tonight!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yang smiled and shook his head: "Director Lin is too kind. I'm just a minor fifth male lead, so there's no need for a wrap party. If we hold a banquet for the wrap party for bigger roles, the production team's expenses will be too high, and it will make me seem too ostentatious."

Although Zhou Yang is not short of money, he shouldn't be so high-profile, right?

Lin Chuan nodded approvingly upon hearing this: "What you said makes sense. Okay, then when the whole crew wraps up filming, let's get together and have a big meal!"

"It's a deal."

Zhou Yang smiled and agreed.

At this moment, Xu Yao handed a USB drive to Lin Chuan and spoke softly.

"Director Lin, this is the complete recording of my voice acting for the female lead. Please listen to it and see if it suits you."

Lin Chuan took the USB drive and played a short clip on his laptop.

Soon, a satisfied smile appeared on his face: "Not bad, Xu Yao, you are really talented. You captured the emotions perfectly, which is quite a contrast to your quiet appearance! Very good, this version will be used!"

Xu Yao breathed a sigh of relief and said happily, "I'm glad you're satisfied, Director Lin. Then I'll finish the voice-over for my third female lead tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll transfer the 150,000 to you once I've listened to all the dubbing and confirmed that there are no problems."

Lin Chuan nodded.

...

Night falls and the city lights begin to twinkle.

Zhou Yang stood on the balcony, the evening breeze blowing the wisps of hair on his forehead, bringing a touch of coolness.

He turned his head to look at Xu Yao beside him.

After a busy day, he suddenly wanted to relax.

Come to think of it, he's never actually been to a bar in his entire life, past or present.

Bright lights and dazzling lights, extravagant and decadent... I wonder what kind of scene it is.

Zhou Yang's mind raced, and he tentatively looked at Xu Yao: "Yao Yao, now that you're done with work, would you like to find a place to have a drink and relax?"

He paused, then added, "Like... bars?"

Xu Yao paused for a moment, blinked her clear eyes, and a hint of surprise appeared in them.

In all her years, she had never been to a bar, let alone a proper karaoke bar.

"A bar? I've never been to one, but I've heard it's noisy and chaotic..."

Xu Yao frowned slightly. Although she had been living alone since she was eighteen, fortunately, apart from her family and Zheng Qiang, the other people she met were all relatively normal.

Therefore, she was still relatively naive and didn't know much about bars and KTVs. She only knew that they were chaotic, but she didn't know exactly how chaotic they were.

"I've heard it's really chaotic, especially dangerous for girls, but if the two of us go together and look after each other, nothing should happen."

Zhou Yang patted Xu Yao's hair and tempted her, "I've never been before either. Let's go together and see for ourselves. Anyway, since we're together, I would never do anything to betray you. If it's fun, we can go again next time. If it's not fun, we won't go next time."

Xu Yao nodded upon hearing this.

The sense of security from having Zhou Yang by her side, along with her curiosity, overcame her slight fear of the unfamiliar environment.

She agreed: "Okay! Let's go take a look!"

Neither of them intended to be too flashy, and they wore the same casual and comfortable outfits they had worn during the day.

Zhou Yang drove his Cullinan and navigated to the name of a nearby bar with a good reputation.

A dozen minutes later, the car stopped in front of a bar with neon lights flashing and music faintly emanating from its entrance.

Just by looking at the storefront, you can feel the youthful and unrestrained energy.

The two got out of the car out of curiosity.

The bar's door is a heavy glass door covered with various colorful graffiti stickers of different styles, which looks a bit messy, but also has its own unique style.

Zhou Yang reached out and pushed open the door. A wave of heat, mixed with the scent of alcohol, perfume, and youthful hormones, accompanied by deafening bass music, rushed towards him.

The lighting was dim, with colorful spotlights sweeping wildly across the center of the dance floor, outlining countless twisting and swaying figures.

Xu Yao subconsciously shrank closer to Zhou Yang, her small hands nervously gripping the hem of his clothes.

Zhou Yang sensed her unease, and naturally put his arm around her shoulder, half-protecting her in his arms. "Don't be afraid, come with me."

He quickly scanned the area and finally chose a relatively quiet booth in the corner.

The lighting there is dimmer, and it's further away from the crazy dance floor, so you can see the whole place clearly and are less likely to be disturbed.

The two sat down, sinking into the soft sofa.
