He Muchen's fans know Zhou Rui's Weibo account, and they send him private messages every day. Zhou Rui reads almost every single one of them.
He Muchen watched as his wife ignored him for a long time, only looking at her phone and not even bothering to look up at him.
Jealous, he put down the script in his hand, grabbed Zhou Rui's phone, and snatched it away. "Honey, you haven't looked at me all day. You've only been looking at your phone. Is your phone more attractive than me now?"
Zhou Rui smiled, her eyes crinkling. "How could that be? My husband is so handsome, how could his phone be prettier than yours?"
He Muchen wrapped his arms around his waist, his well-defined knuckles gently pinching it. "There's definitely one. Could it be that you've taken a fancy to another little brother?"
Zhou Rui opened his eyes wide, hooked his arms around his neck, and said, "How come other younger brothers aren't as handsome as my Mu Chen? The point is, they're not as powerful as him, but they're captivating."
He Muchen smiled wickedly and whispered in Zhou Rui's ear, "Wife, if you don't mind, let's try it in the RV..."
Zhou Rui was so frightened that he immediately released his neck, stopped provoking him, stood up from his lap, and stammered, "I...you should...just focus on your script."
He reached for his phone on the table next to He Muchen. He Muchen pressed his fair hand down and smiled, "Wife, don't be shy! Usually no one comes looking for me at this time."
"Honey, you said my younger brother is a charmer, want to give him a try?"
Zhou Rui pulled his hand away and slapped the script on the table onto his chest. "Study the script well, make a good film, and earn money to support me."
Zhou Rui pulled up his pants and joked, "Look, your wife's pants are all loose. She promised to fatten me up and make me plump, but now her pants are practically falling down."
"Oh, really? Come here and let me see..."
He Muchen grabbed Zhou Rui's wrist and pulled him into his arms, placing his hand on Zhou Rui's buttocks.
...
"Mu Chen, let's go over the scene for this afternoon."
Wang Yong, a male actor from the same production crew, got into his RV. Wang Yong saw that the RV door was not closed and assumed that he had not taken a lunch break, so he came over to find him to rehearse a scene for the afternoon.
When he saw this ambiguous and intertwined atmosphere, he was very embarrassed... He gritted his teeth, wishing he could knock his forgetful head out.
Look at my own brain! I forgot that his wife was his assistant in the car too. Young men are always a bit hot-blooded and can't control themselves.
"you..."
"Just pretend I was never here, you can continue... Sorry for bothering you."
Wang Yong immediately turned around and left. Because he turned around too hastily, his forgetful head hit the car door frame.
The sound was deafening. Zhou Rui immediately stood up from He Muchen's arms and walked behind Wang Yong.
"Actor Wang, are you alright? Let me get you an ice pack to put on, so you don't get a bump later."
Wang Yong covered his forehead and said aggrievedly, "Okay..."
Zhou Rui smiled and went to get him an ice pack. He Muchen walked over to him with the script and coughed lightly, "You want to rehearse the scene this afternoon?"
"It's the very first scene..."
Wang Yong covered his head, sat down, looked at the script, and rehearsed his lines with He Muchen.
Zhou Rui took the ice pack and handed it to Wang Yong, who accepted it and said, "Thank you..."
Zhou Rui smiled at him, truly grateful to this actor Wang; otherwise, he wouldn't know how he would have escaped He Muchen's clutches.
Zhou Rui grinned, picked up his phone from the table, made a smug face at He Muchen, and turned to walk away. He Muchen smiled and patted Zhou Rui's bottom.
You're so smug now, but I'll deal with you tonight. Let's see if you dare make faces at me again.
Looking at the two childish kids in front of him, Wang Yong was filled with envy. He really wanted to shout to the sky: When will my other half appear!
He Muchen was successful in his career and won the heart of a beautiful woman at the age of 24, while I was only 29 years old with an average career and no love. I was practically begging to stick the words "three-no product" (meaning no production date, no manufacturer, no quality certification) on my face.
When will the God of Love in the heavens take a look at me? Even if he arranges someone not as pretty as He Muchen's wife, just an average one will do! I won't be picky anymore, a man is fine too, as long as he's a human being.
He Muchen took Wang Yong's hand and placed it on the bulge on his head, then applied an ice pack to the bulge.
"What are you thinking about, gazing at the sky so intently?"
"Ah! I was wondering if the Old Man of the Moon in the sky is too busy and has forgotten about me."
He Muchen patted his shoulder with a smile, "I guess there are too many people in line, and it's not your turn yet."
"Then why can't the matchmaker hire a few more assistants? If he really doesn't have the money to hire a few more assistants, I'll add some incense to his offerings."
He Muchen couldn't hold back any longer and laughed loudly, teasing, "Actor Wang, that's a good idea. There seems to be a matchmaking temple near where we're filming. You could go and offer some incense to him so he can hire a few more assistants and get you in line faster."
Wang Yong suddenly stood up, grabbed He Muchen's hands, and said, "Muchen, you really are my lucky star. How could I not have thought of this?"
Zhou Rui came out to grab a water glass, and saw the two of them in a very ambiguous posture. "What are you two doing..."
He Muchen quickly shook off Wang Yong's hand and explained to Zhou Rui, "Wife, actor Wang was so excited that he grabbed my hand. I didn't even have time to react before he started holding my hand."
Zhou Rui, holding a water glass, smiled at He Muchen and said, "I didn't say you were taking the initiative! Besides, aren't you two rehearsing a scene?"
Zhou Rui gestured for He Muchen to bend down, and He Muchen bent down close to him. Zhou Rui whispered in his ear, "Honey, you don't need to explain anything to me. This actor Wang isn't as sweet as me, so he's not your type. I'm the type you like."
Zhou Rui smiled sweetly and kissed He Muchen's cheek, "You guys take your time rehearsing, I'm going in to lie down for a bit."
"Actor Wang, help yourself to whatever you'd like to drink."
Zhou Rui glanced at Wang Yong's hands and really wanted to peel off a layer of skin from them. How dare she touch her husband's hands? She must have a death wish.
Wang Yong said "Oh" and watched Zhou Rui's departing figure. He felt as if Zhou Rui had been staring at his hands just now.
He examined his hands carefully; there was nothing dirty! Was there a problem?
"Stop studying your hands, you need to rehearse your lines. Let's quickly rehearse our lines, we'll be heading to the set to film soon."
"Okay..."
After finishing their scene, the two put down the script. Before leaving, Wang Yong invited He Muchen, "Muchen, the crew has a day off tomorrow. Let's go to the nearby Yue Lao Temple together."
"I don't need to offer incense to the God of Marriage; I have a wife."
"Look at your unenthusiastic attitude! Aren't you afraid that the God of Love might get upset and cut off your red thread?"
"Go add some incense and ask the Old Man of the Moon to tie a thicker red thread between you and your wife, so that your relationship will be even stronger."
