Inside the coffee shop, Cen Yuzhou brought over a tray and placed it in front of Ye Zhizhou.
"You didn't expect to be the second male lead, did you?"
Cen Yuzhou picked up his coffee cup, took a sip, looked at the script in Ye Zhizhou's hand, and took the initiative to start a conversation.
Ye Zhizhou nodded, "I really didn't expect it, but it's not too surprising. You were a child star, so it's not surprising that you have this kind of resource."
Cen Yuzhou had roughly guessed that she would say that, and started talking about the script with Ye Zhizhou.
In the afternoon, after the opening ceremony, the crew began setting up the set.
The film crew had barely finished setting up when they became a trending topic on social media.
#Filming begins today for the second female and male lead couple in "The Lady Attendant"#
Upon seeing the trending topic, Liang Tian immediately called, "Xiao Zhou, what's going on with you and Cen Yuzhou trending? Although he's a child star, he hasn't had many opportunities in recent years. Is he trying to ride your coattails by appearing on the trending list with you?"
Ye Zhizhou was focused on reading the script and didn't expect to be trending on Weibo. She subconsciously glanced at Cen Yuzhou across from her, then opened the Weibo trending topics and looked at them again.
She then discovered that she and Cen Yuzhou had been photographed in a coffee shop, and that entertainment reporters had deliberately photoshopped them to be very close, as if they had already prepared the captions.
"Sister Liang Tian, he wasn't trying to ride on my coattails. We were actually classmates, and we just happened to be in the same production team, so we auditioned together."
She patiently explained to Liang Tian, and Cen Yuzhou's gaze naturally fell upon her.
Although Liang Tian really didn't want Ye Zhizhou to be used for publicity, after learning that they were classmates, he advised, "Since you are classmates, I won't say much. However, your current popularity isn't suitable for creating a CP (couple pairing) image. I suggest you be careful."
Ye Zhizhou hummed in agreement and hung up the phone.
"I'm sorry, I just wanted to invite you for coffee, I didn't expect it to cause you any trouble. I'll post a clarification on Weibo right away."
Cen Yuzhou was worried about affecting Ye Zhizhou's popularity, so he immediately posted a clarification on Weibo and even showed off his graduation certificate.
Soon after, another hashtag appeared on Weibo's trending topics.
Although Cen Yuzhou clarified, many fans are still speculating.
Cen Yuzhou is a child star who has not made a comeback for many years. His first comeback was in collaboration with Ye Zhizhou, and many fans felt that Cen Yuzhou made his comeback for Ye Zhizhou's sake.
However, some fans are also fans of the Ye Zhizhou and Qin Xuan pairing, and the two fan groups started arguing in the comments section, having a great time.
Ye Zhizhou felt a headache coming on as she looked at their speculations. She wasn't afraid of what her fans would say; she was afraid of Qin Xuan seeing it.
"I'm heading back now. See you tomorrow when filming starts."

On the other side, Qin Xuan, who had just finished her acting class and was on her way to dinner, casually scrolled through her phone and noticed Cen Yuzhou's clarification post on Weibo.
The more I read the comments below, the angrier I got.
[Mango Taro Boba: Has no one noticed that the last character of both their names is pronounced "zhou"? I love the Shuangzhou CP!]
[Little Primrose: Cen Yuzhou was my childhood crush! If he and Ye Zhizhou were really together, they'd actually be a good match. Not bad.]
[Tips: Is nobody shipping Xuanzhou (Xuanzhou and Zhou Xun)? This clarification is really necessary.]
Qin Xuan searched for the production team of Ye Zhizhou's new drama, looked up the producer, and quickly called Huo Qingyan.
"Son, why did you suddenly decide to call your mother? Is something wrong?"
The sounds from Huo Qingyan's side were quite noisy, as if she was busy, with people coming and going.
"Something's up. I'd like to act in 'The Lady Attendant.' The producer happens to be your old classmate. Could you arrange it?"
Huo Qingyan was taken aback. Her son had actually asked her to help him get a role. Wasn't he usually not interested in TV dramas?
"Weren't you only interested in math? Why do you suddenly want to participate in an acting competition?"
Qin Xuan didn't want to explain too much to her, "Your future daughter-in-law is also in that film crew."
Huo Qingyan immediately understood his purpose. "So you want to develop a relationship with Xiaozhou. I understand. No problem, Mom will take care of it."
Helping her son woo his daughter-in-law filled Huo Qingyan with boundless energy.
Not long after, Qin Xuan received an invitation from the production team of "Female Attendant" to make a special appearance.
Upon receiving the message, he immediately ended his acting class and sent Liang Tian a brief message.
When Liang Tian found out, he was already on a plane flying to Ning City.
Qin Xuan arrived at the film set with light luggage and checked into the hotel.
"Qin Xuan, what are you doing on set? Don't you have acting classes to attend?"
Ye Zhizhou opened the hotel room door and was surprised to see Qin Xuan.
She couldn't help but think of what she'd seen on Weibo today, and worried about Qin Xuan's true intentions.
"This production team also invited me for a special appearance. I live upstairs, so call me if you need anything."
Unlike before, Qin Xuan turned around and went back to his room immediately after speaking.
Ye Zhizhou froze on the spot. She couldn't tell whether Qin Xuan was angry or not based on his reaction.
Qin Xuan didn't send her any messages until evening, and Ye Zhizhou felt something was wrong, so she took the initiative to ask Qin Xuan if he wanted to go out for dinner.
Qin Xuan only replied with an "Mm," displaying a very aloof attitude.
The hotel restaurant served a buffet dinner, and Ye Zhizhou met Qin Xuan at the restaurant entrance.
"Qin Xuan, I need to explain to you about that trending topic on Weibo. Actually, Cen Yuzhou and I really just had a cup of coffee..."
While getting the food, Ye Zhizhou explained to Qin Xuan.
"Xiao Zhou, come down for dinner too. The crew's dinner is pretty good; no wonder it's a big production with an investment of hundreds of millions."
Just then, quite unfortunately, Cen Yuzhou himself appeared, and he seemed to be in a good mood.
As soon as Qin Xuan saw him, he turned around and stood between him and Ye Zhizhou.
"Have some of this, it's very sweet."
He stuffed a golden cake into Ye Zhizhou's plate. Ye Zhizhou originally wanted to greet Cen Yuzhou, but she swallowed her words. Seeing that Qin Xuan was no longer angry, she silently carried the golden cake to find a seat.
Cen Yuzhou then noticed Qin Xuan, and his tone suddenly became very stiff.
"Qin Xuan, did you come to the film set to take care of Xiao Zhou? You didn't even tell me you were coming. That's not very nice of you."
Qin Xuan turned to look at him, "I'm a special guest star, just like you guys, an actor. Taking care of Xiao Zhou is what I should do."
After he finished speaking, he picked up the plate and followed in the direction Ye Zhizhou had gone, sitting down with proper posture.
"You're not angry anymore?"
Ye Zhizhou asked Qin Xuan in a low voice, noticing that he seemed quite relaxed.
Qin Xuan took a bite of the xiaolongbao and frowned slightly. "It's not good. Compared to your cooking skills, it's far inferior."
Ye Zhizhou was completely relieved this time. Qin Xuan was indeed jealous, but he resolved it himself.
"May I sit here?"
A gentle voice, like that of a nightingale, suddenly rang out, and Ye Zhizhou couldn't help but look over.
The girl wore a white dress, her skin was so white it seemed to glow, and she had a mixed-race look.
