"Director, I just want to play my current role well, I don't want to play the female lead."
Ye Zhizhou has a clear understanding of his own position. In this TV series, the third female lead obviously has stronger personal charm. Choosing the third female lead saves time and makes the performance more comfortable.
Director Chen looked a little surprised. You know, many actresses are desperate to be the lead actress, even if the character isn't perfect, it still raises their status.
Ye Zhizhou was the first person to voluntarily refuse to play the female lead.
Li Zixi said sarcastically, "Anyone can retreat to advance. You clearly know you're not good enough for the lead role, so why are you pretending?"
The other actors all lowered their heads and remained silent. This matter had nothing to do with them anyway, and it was never their turn to play the female lead.
"If I wanted to play the lead role, it wouldn't be your turn."
Ye Zhizhou glanced at her coldly, showing no intention of giving Li Zixi any face.
Li Zixi was taken aback and was about to speak.
Director Chen spoke up to stop her, "Alright, stop arguing. You two can stay in your original roles for now. I'll let you know if there are any changes. Let's leave the female lead's scenes free for now."
In fact, Chen Hao was quite satisfied with Ye Zhizhou, but unfortunately, Ye Zhizhou was too young and didn't quite fit the age of the female lead in the play. In addition, she didn't seem to want to play the role, so he decided to look for someone else.
Li Zixi would never consider it, since she hadn't even passed the audition in the first place.
The previous accident wasted about a week, so Ye Zhizhou had to ask the school for another week off, and Qin Xuan also asked for leave.
However, neither of them missed their classes. After filming, Ye Zhizhou would diligently review the day's lessons under Qin Xuan's supervision.
The filming lasted for two days and everything went smoothly, but some people just wanted to cause trouble.
Because the director couldn't find a suitable female lead, the position remained vacant. Li Zixi refused to give up and would go to see Director Chen alone every day after filming.
Rumors circulated on set that she would spend two or three hours in Director Chen's room each time, and what the two did was self-evident.
Ye Zhizhou ignored all these rumors. As long as it didn't interfere with her acting, she was fine with anything, even if Li Zixi played the female lead.
"Director Chen, can't you give me another chance? I really want this role!"
Ye Zhizhou accidentally passed by Director Chen's room and noticed that the door was open.
Li Zixi's incredibly sweet voice came from inside, and Ye Zhizhou couldn't help but shiver.
She decided to ignore it. After returning to her room, she suddenly became interested, walked over to Qin Xuan, and imitated Li Zixi's voice, saying something in a super cutesy voice.
"Qin Xuan, can I skip doing my homework today?"
Her voice is naturally sweet, and with the added deliberate embellishment, it becomes even more cloyingly sweet.
Qin Xuan paused for a moment, his dark eyes trembled slightly, and after a moment of hesitation, he uttered two words.
"How about we make two sets today? You seem to have so much free time."
Ye Zhizhou: ? ? ?
She's a dog if she keeps imitating Li Zixi's voice!
One set of questions is already a lot, and he actually made her do a second set. She probably won't be able to sleep until very late.
To avoid the nightmare of doing homework, Ye Zhizhou had a sudden inspiration. He plopped down on Qin Xuan's lap, wrapped his arms around his neck, and breathed into his ear.
She refused to believe that her seduction tactics wouldn't work!
Qin Xuan felt her warmth; she had never hugged him so proactively before. It felt as if something in his heart had been struck hard, and his rationality was gradually fading as a strange emotion welled up inside him.
He looked down at Ye Zhizhou's flushed cheeks under the light, finding them increasingly tempting, and wanted to take a bite.
So he actually did it.
Ye Zhizhou was stunned. Had she just been bitten? By Qin Xuan?
"Well, well, I'll go do the problems right now and I'll definitely be a good student."
She felt a little flustered, as if she had unknowingly triggered some mechanism, making Qin Xuan's style become ambiguous.
She wanted to stop, but it was too late. Qin Xuan picked her up and gently placed her on the bed. He began to unbutton the top button of his shirt, seemingly intending to take off all his clothes.
"Qin Xuan, I was just kidding with you. I'll never mess around again and I'm determined to do my homework properly!"
Ye Zhizhou panicked completely and apologized in a flustered manner.
Qin Xuan bent down, covered her lips with his, and gently kissed the corner of her lips before nibbling on her earlobe.
"Xiao Zhou, have you forgotten that we're both adults now?"
Good heavens! Level 5 alert!
How could she not know what those words meant? It was obvious that Boss Qin was hinting at something to her!
She sat bolt upright in bed, wrapped herself in the blanket, and said, "That won't do either. We'll get the marriage certificate first!"
A smile involuntarily crept onto Qin Xuan's lips. He leaned against the wall next to Ye Zhizhou and said, looking down, "So, you need to get a marriage certificate before you can do problems together?"
Ye Zhizhou was completely bewildered, then realized he had been tricked. Enraged, he grabbed a pillow and threw it at Qin Xuan, yelling, "You tricked me!"
Qin Xuan took the pillow, her smile widening.
"If you're afraid of being tricked, don't try to act cute like others; it'll cause trouble."
Ye Zhizhou's cheeks flushed slightly. She had learned her lesson and was determined not to imitate others indiscriminately in the future.
"Seeing how hard you work filming, let's just do one set of practice questions today."
Qin Xuan put the pillow away. Seeing her annoyed look, he figured she must have learned her lesson, so he took pity on her and didn't make things difficult for her anymore.
Ye Zhizhou's emotions were in turmoil. While doing the problems, he reflected on himself and decided that he would avoid doing them if possible in the future, and if he did, he would not do them in front of Qin Xuan.
"Drink some milk and rest for a while."
Qin Xuan specially asked the hotel staff to prepare hot milk for Ye Zhizhou to replenish his nutrition.
Ye Zhizhou put down her pen and gripped the milk glass. It seemed that Boss Qin still cared about her!
After finishing his homework and drinking his milk, Ye Zhizhou escorted Qin Xuan back to his room.
She glanced instinctively toward Director Chen's room and saw a person standing at the door—it was Li Zixi.
Li Zixi was wearing a very pink nightgown and had put on exquisite makeup, but her complexion was not good, as if she had just been scolded.
Ye Zhizhou recalled that rumor. It seems that Director Chen is still a director with backbone, and he does not succumb to beauty!
She looked up and suddenly met Li Zixi's gaze. Li Zixi's eyes were unfriendly, so she glared back and leisurely went back to her room.
Li Zixi gritted her teeth, feeling that Ye Zhizhou's expression just now was mocking her.
Ye Zhizhou didn't take the matter to heart. After washing up, he went to bed and slept soundly through the night.
The following day, at the hotel's rooftop restaurant.
Ye Zhizhou and Qin Xuan ate their breakfast at a leisurely pace.
"Ye Zhizhou, did you see something yesterday? I'm warning you, don't you dare tell anyone!"
