Ms. Chen Xi, He Muchen's mother, walked out of the lounge clutching her stomach and gently closed the door behind her.
Ms. Chen Xi excitedly called her husband.
"Hey honey, I'm not going home today. I have some things to take care of here. I'll be back in a couple of days."
"What's wrong that you need to handle? Did your son and daughter-in-law have a fight?"
"Wasn't everything fine when you took the picture just now?"
"No, your son is like a leech, sticking to her like glue. He even dares to argue with Xiao Rui."
"That is..."
"Anyway, there are some things I need to write down. You should go to sleep well tonight."
"Wife, I miss you."
"I miss you too, sweetie, go to sleep by yourself..."
Ms. Chen hung up abruptly, and He Chaojie rolled his eyes, looked at his phone, and sighed.
Sigh! Honey, when will you finally put all your heart into me?
If it weren't for his wife's coercion, he wouldn't have had children after giving birth to He Hengyan; she had always wanted a cute and obedient little girl.
But she didn't seem to like her daughter much after she was born. It was only after He Muchen was born that she started to smile.

Zhou Rui put on the clothes brought by the costume team, and the makeup artist did his makeup.
The makeup artist, standing behind me, exclaimed sincerely, "You look even more stunning than the actresses with this makeover."
Zhou Rui smiled and said, "Really?"
"Yes, as long as you speak in a slightly affected voice, no one should be able to tell whether you are male or female."
"It's possible that I have a more feminine face."
Zhou Rui looked at himself in the makeup mirror with a smile. He really looked good, like an innocent and harmless little white lotus.
"He does have a rather feminine face, which makes people quite jealous," the makeup artist said as she applied lipstick to his lips.
"Hehe, so, are you jealous, sister?" Zhou Rui blinked his eyes.
"envy."
"Then sister, please help me with my makeup. I'm going to go out and be so jealous of them."
"You look good even without makeup."
Zhou Rui smiled and said, "By the way, thank you for speaking up for me last time."
"No need to thank me. It was that woman who was saying disgusting things, and I just couldn't stand it anymore."
Zhou Rui smiled and didn't say anything more...
The makeup artist asked tentatively, "Are you and actor He in a relationship?"
Zhou Rui looked at her with a puzzled expression. She nervously explained:
"I don't mean to expose you, I'm just curious."
Zhou Rui asked her warily, "Why do you think that actress He and I are in a romantic relationship?"
“I saw my Chenchen yesterday. He touched your hand and even gave you a massage.” The makeup artist excitedly called out the name she used for He Muchen at home.
"My Chenchen? You're a fan of He Muchen?" Zhou Rui's eyes widened, feeling like he had met a fellow traveler.
The makeup artist nodded. "I'm a fan of He Muchen. I've been following him since his debut. Last night, when I saw his official announcement photo, I recognized the woman's back as yours."
Zhou Rui stared at her in astonishment, unsure how to respond.
"If you really end up with my Chenchen, please love him well."
Zhou Rui scratched the wig on his head and said awkwardly, "Actually, I'm also a fan of He Muchen, and a die-hard one at that."
"Really?" The makeup artist excitedly grabbed Zhou Rui's hand, her eyes sparkling as she asked.
Zhou Rui nodded shyly, "Well, I'm just lucky enough to have the chance to make him like me too."
Zhou Rui asked her again in a low voice, "Don't you hate that he likes boys?"
"No way! I'll like anything he likes."
"Can we exchange contact information?"
Zhou Rui said excitedly, "Of course!"
The two exchanged contact information, and the makeup artist briefly introduced herself as Jia Xing. She also added him to their fan group.
When the fan group saw that the group owner had added someone, the little fans greeted him enthusiastically.
Zhou Rui felt like he was back when he was pursuing He Muchen, chatting with his friends in the fan group every day.
"Jia Xing, could you please not tell them that I am He Muchen's girlfriend?"
“I’m afraid they’ll be hurt, and I’m also afraid He Muchen will get hurt.”
"I can guarantee that. I will never say that I want to be the first person to 'eat candy' among you." Jia Xing excitedly grabbed his hand and looked at it.
Zhou Rui held her hand tightly as well.
They were completely absorbed in their own little world and didn't notice that He Muchen had already walked in with a dark expression.
He Muchen had come in happily to find his wife, but then he saw her excitedly holding hands with the makeup artist.
He Muchen glanced coldly at Jia Xing, "Is your makeup done?"
Jia Xing stammered, "It's...it's all done."
"Once you're done with your makeup, go out. I still need to rehearse my lines with you."
Jia Xing walked out without even breaking a sweat.
He Muchen silently took a wet wipe from the table, took Zhou Rui's hand, and wiped his hands.
Zhou Rui looked at his hands, which were so clean they weren't even dusty, and he gently wiped them while holding them.
Does my husband not like other people touching my hands?
Jia Xing walked in again silently, smiling awkwardly, "I didn't bring my phone, you guys continue."
He Muchen didn't even glance at her, and carefully wiped Zhou Rui's hands, while Zhou Rui smiled at her.
Click...
Jia Xing secretly took a picture of He Muchen wiping Zhou Rui's hands.
Staring at the photos with a lovesick expression, she exclaimed, "How can they be such a perfect match?" She almost shouted out excitedly as she stood outside the door.
"Honey, okay, let's go over the lines." Zhou Rui smiled slightly at him.
He Muchen leaned down and cradled the back of his head, nuzzling him affectionately.
Zhou Rui was overwhelmed by his gentleness, and the two of them breathed softly in the quiet room.
Knock knock…
The director knocked on the door, and when no one answered, he opened it directly. "Mu Chen! Are you two ready?"
Hearing the sound, Zhou Rui was so startled that he pushed He Muchen away and lowered his head to wipe the water stains off his lips.
"Uh, you two, if you're ready, come out."
The director turned around, closed the door to the dressing room, scratched his head, and wondered if he had misread it with his eye.
Are they kissing passionately? The movie hasn't even started filming yet, how come they're already acting?
A bold idea is now brewing in his mind.
It's because this young master of the He family likes this assistant! That's why he strongly recommended him to be the female lead's body double, and that's why he agreed to film the kissing scene.
Inside the room, He Muchen, who seemed to have nothing to do, leisurely ruffled Zhou Rui's hair.
"This wig doesn't feel as smooth as my wife's own hair."
Zhou Rui looked at He Muchen, who was completely focused on the wig on his head. How could he act as if nothing had happened when the director discovered that he had just kissed him?
"Of course, a wig is a wig after all."
