Chapter 795 Haoyue Extra (57)
Knowing that this couldn't go on, he had no choice but to gulp down a bottle of mineral water and then pull out the script to read.
In my restless state, I couldn't absorb anything written in the script.
Fortunately, Wen Yue took a quick shower and soon came out of the bathroom in her pajamas.
Seeing him reading a script, she was surprised for a moment, then walked over to him and asked, "Do you need my help?"
She bent down and leaned closer, the rose scent of her shower gel filling his nostrils and coursing through his body.
He looked up and immediately saw her slightly flushed cheeks.
Her skin was amazingly good, white and tender, like a freshly peeled egg. A few drops of water hadn't been wiped off and rolled gently down her hair, one landing on his script and the other disappearing into her white silk pajamas along her slender neck.
Their eyes met, and his Adam's apple bobbed slightly involuntarily.
He felt like he was about to be burned.
It takes all your reason to resist pulling the person in front of you into your arms.
Wen Yue's heart was also pounding, so she quickly looked away from him, stood up, cleared her throat, and said, "I watched this scene before, and it was actually quite outstanding when acted well."
Tang Minghao couldn't hear what she was saying, and just instinctively hummed in response.
Wen Yue looked at him and couldn't help but smile: "What's with the 'hmm'? Are you going over the lines again?"
Tang Minghao then realized what was happening and hurriedly flipped through the script: "It has to be correct."
As he spoke, he was secretly embarrassed and annoyed. He was already twenty-six years old, yet he still acted like a young boy...
When they said their lines correctly, the two of them actually matched the lines perfectly.
Wen Yue was extremely dedicated to her work, and she was very familiar with the script. She had also studied the scene that Tang Minghao wanted to discuss with her countless times in private, so she quickly got into character.
Tang Minghao, on the other hand, although he usually seems cynical, is actually no less capable than Wen Yue when it comes to work. In fact, he is even more insightful and understanding than Wen Yue in many aspects.
The two of them talked back and forth until 3 a.m.
Seeing that the darkness outside had thickened into an indistinct inky blackness, Tang Minghao finally closed the script: "Alright, that's enough for today. It's too late, let's go to sleep first."
Wen Yue, however, was still somewhat unsatisfied: "So, what do you think the second male lead is feeling right now? Between the female lead and power, he still chose power. Does he regret it?"
“He’ll probably regret it,” Tang Minghao said as he got up to make the bed for her. “But it should only be a very small number of times. For example, when he sees the female lead and the male lead happily together, he’s standing alone at the pinnacle of power, enjoying unparalleled glory but having no one to share his feelings with. When he feels lonely and cold, he should regret it. But this is the path he chose, and he can only continue down this path.”
"Now that you mention it, it makes him seem a little pitiful," Wen Yue said thoughtfully.
“He was a pitiful man to begin with.” Tang Minghao turned to look at her. “He also loved the female lead, but the hatred in his heart was too deep. He came to this point. It was his own choice, but it was also closely related to the push and pull of fate.”
“But if I were him, I would probably make a different choice,” Tang Minghao said, changing the subject.
What is it?
"No matter how deep the hatred is, the cycle of revenge will never end. Even if he gets his revenge, what good will it do? He gives up his beloved to someone else. Isn't that another kind of incompetence? He satisfied his desire for revenge, but he hurt the female lead's heart. What good is revenge? He's better off without that power and glory."
Wen Yue looked into his eyes and was momentarily lost in thought.
She had never thought of it that way before.
Is there really such a person in this world who would give up the overwhelming hatred within him and the power that was within his grasp for the sake of another person?
Tang Minghao turned around: "Alright, the bed is made, go to sleep early."
Wen Yue snapped out of her daze and grabbed him as he was about to leave: "Aren't you going to sleep here?"
Tang Minghao scratched his head: "No, there's a small sofa over there. I'll make do there for the night."
Wen Yue glanced at the sofa and saw that it was indeed small, less than 1.5 meters long. Tang Minghao was 1.85 meters tall, so it would be cramped for anyone to sit on it.
Wen Yue had originally prepared herself for the two of them to share a bed after drawing a line between them, but seeing him curled up on top of her now made her feel uneasy.
But if she asked him to come up, she couldn't bring herself to say it.
"Did I turn off the lights?" Tang Minghao asked, lying down on the sofa.
Wen Yue gave a mumbled "hmm".
The lights went out, and after a long pause, Wen Yue steeled her heart and whispered, "Why don't you come up and sleep here..."
She finished speaking, but there was no response from the other end.
Could it be that she fell asleep so quickly?
Wen Yue hesitated for a moment before asking again, "Brother Minghao?"
Even breathing sounds came from the sofa.
It seems she's really asleep. Thinking about it, today was indeed quite a tiring day.
Thinking this, Wen Yue slowly closed her eyes.
In the darkness, Tang Minghao heard the breathing on the bed gradually become steady, and then slowly opened his eyes.
Resting his head on the armchair of the sofa, he quietly gazed at the soft silhouette of the bed in the darkness.
His gaze softened as well.
It wasn't that he didn't want to sleep with her, but he was afraid he wouldn't be able to control his desires and would offend her.
If he used to always try to prove her feelings for him through her, now he doesn't want to ask anything of her. Instead, he just wants to see her happy and protect her.
He has made too many mistakes before, and he must not repeat them.
Wen Yue slept unusually soundly that night. The next morning, she was awakened not by waking up naturally, but by the sound of voices at the door.
She rubbed her eyes, staring at the unfamiliar decor, and paused for half a second before remembering what had happened.
I glanced at the sofa; there was no one there now.
She sat up abruptly, reached for her phone, and breathed a sigh of relief when she realized it was only a little past six.
Just then, Tang Minghao walked over from the direction of the door, carrying a small bowl of wontons in his hand.
Seeing her sit up, the corner of his lips curled up: "Awake?"
Wen Yue was unusually embarrassed: "Um, who were you talking to just now?"
“Your helper is called Xiao Yang, right? I heard her knocking on your door early this morning, so I went out to check and found that she was bringing you breakfast, so I just took it.”
"Oh." Wen Yue rubbed her head, then suddenly realized something: "Wait, you mean she brought me breakfast, but you took it?!"
Tang Minghao nodded: "Want to eat some while the wontons are still hot?"
Wen Yue: "..."
How could she possibly eat anything?!
The thought of Xiao Yang finding out they were living together and possibly misunderstanding something made her temples throb.

In the ancient painting appreciation class, the teacher held up a painting by her father after he was drunk and praised it highly, extolling his ambition to care for all living beings and unify the world.

During the final music exam, the eldest princess played a long-lost guqin piece, astonishing all the teachers and students.
A casually recorded dance video unexpectedly garnered praise from a top-tier national dancer, prompting netizens to investigate and uncover the dancer's identity.
