I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

After a while.

Under Zeng Li's big, watery eyes, Cheng Sheng picked her up and placed her on the bed.

The lights in the bedroom were deliberately dimmed, leaving only a warm yellow wall lamp by the bedside. This type of wall lamp was a design that Cheng Sheng had the decorator replace.

Because of the cold weather in Kyoto, the warm yellow wall lamps make people feel cozy and cozy.

Of course, this warm yellow light, when used in this situation, cleverly creates a private and hazy atmosphere.

An indescribable ambiguous atmosphere permeated the air, along with a silent, rising heat that caused the air temperature to rise as well.

Outside the window, the frigid weather felt like a frozen hell compared to the bedroom, causing many pedestrians to shiver and clutch their down jackets tightly.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

The clouds gathered and the rain stopped.

Cheng Sheng and Zeng Li snuggled together. Because the windows were closed, the bedroom was filled with the lingering smell of durian, but neither of them seemed to care.

Cheng Sheng lowered his head and rubbed Zeng Li's flushed cheeks, his tone laced with post-coital languor and barely concealed excitement as he asked, "Sister Li, did you... like it just now?"

Zeng Li buried her face in Cheng Sheng's arms in embarrassment, her nose brushing against his abs, and let out a soft "Mmm".

At this moment, she looked nothing like a top star; she was clearly a little woman who was being pampered to the core, and even her fingertips still carried the trembling from before.

Cheng Sheng's lips curled into a smug smile as he leaned close to her ear and bit her soft flesh, saying, "I'll get a few more sets in different colors, and you can wear them for me next time, okay?"

The person in his arms trembled violently, goosebumps rising on their back, but they did not refute him, only nodding slightly.

Cheng Sheng sensed Zeng Li's barely perceptible reaction, and the shyness and tacit consent conveyed by her tense shoulders, which fueled the burning desire for conquest within him.

He knew he couldn't rush things; he had to take it slowly.

It's a pity that the other set was taken by Jing Tian. If she hadn't, I really wanted Zeng Li to try it on.

"Cheng Sheng, I think I heard a sweet voice when I was taking a shower just now? Did she come by?"

Zeng Li raised her head slightly and asked in confusion.

“Yes, she came... but I sent her away,” Cheng Sheng said.

"what!"

Zeng Li blushed and asked nervously, "Did she find out... that I was here with you?"

Seeing Zeng Li's anxious expression, Cheng Sheng suddenly felt like teasing her and said, "I've found out."

"Boom!"

Zeng Li was stunned, her face turned deathly pale, and she was completely dumbfounded.

"What should we do? Will Sweetie tell everyone about us?"

"No, I need to go find Sweetie."

"Our affair must not be exposed. Otherwise, if outsiders find out, they will definitely say that I am an old cow eating young grass. How can I face people after that!"

"Oh dear, it's all your fault for making me wear this. Now everything's ruined."

Hearing Zeng Li's anxious mutterings, Cheng Sheng laughed.

"You're still laughing? Hurry up and think of a solution."

Seeing that Cheng Sheng wasn't in a hurry and was still laughing, Zeng Li patted his chest in annoyance.

"What can I do? And even if they find out, it's okay. At most, we'll just announce our relationship."

Cheng Sheng pretended to be indifferent and shrugged.

"Humph!"

Zeng Li slapped Cheng Sheng unhappily and said angrily, "You may not care, but what will outsiders think of me? I don't want to embarrass myself."

"How is that shameful? As the saying goes, 'A woman three years older than her husband is like holding a gold brick,' I'm holding two gold bricks, they should be so envious," Cheng Sheng said.

"Ugh, what do you mean by 'two gold bricks'? It sounds awful," Zeng Li said angrily.

"Okay, okay, not two gold bricks, but two diamonds," Cheng Sheng teased with a smile.

"you……"

Zeng Li was furious and extremely anxious. This bastard was still in the mood to joke. She turned her head away, not intending to pay any attention to this scoundrel.

"Angry!"

Seeing that Zeng Li ignored him, Cheng Sheng asked cautiously.

"Humph!"

Zeng Li turned her head away from him.

"Okay, I was just kidding. Sweetie didn't notice you were here."

Seeing that Zeng Li was really angry, Cheng Sheng quickly tried to coax her.

"You didn't lie to me?"

Zeng Li turned her head and stared at Cheng Shengdao.

"This time it's for real, Sweetie really didn't notice you were here, but..."

"But what?"

Zeng Li was initially quite happy, but seeing Cheng Sheng's unexpected turn of events, she became anxious.

“She found the lace in the bag, and to get rid of her, I lied and said it was for her, so she took the lace set.”

Cheng Sheng said.

The missing lace needs to be explained clearly, otherwise it will be difficult to explain if Zeng Li finds out and asks about it later.

Zeng Li was stunned. She hadn't expected that the thing Cheng Sheng had sold her would be taken by Tian Tian, ​​especially since it was such an embarrassing thing. What if Tian Tian misunderstood...?

Thinking about the potential chaos in the future, Zeng Li began to blame Cheng Sheng.

Is it appropriate to give such an embarrassing gift to a woman other than your girlfriend?

What if someone misunderstands and thinks she's trying to pursue him?
Moreover, she knows that Da Tiantian has always had feelings for Cheng Sheng, wouldn't this just make Da Tiantian misunderstand even more!
Zeng Li glared at Cheng Sheng and said, "Look what you've done. If Tian Tian misunderstands later, let's see how you explain yourself."

"How can you blame me? If I hadn't told her it was a gift for her, she would have thought I was a pervert."

Cheng Sheng put on an innocent expression.

"Hmph! You're a pervert."

Zeng Li snorted coldly.

If Cheng Sheng wasn't a pervert, why would he buy himself such a gift? He just wanted to ruin himself.

"Okay, don't be angry. I'll explain things to Tian Tian when I have the chance, and I won't let her misunderstand," Cheng Sheng reassured her.

"That would be for the best!" Upon hearing this, Zeng Li stopped dwelling on the matter. After all, what's done is done, and blaming Cheng Sheng wouldn't make a difference.

……

The next day.

Cheng Sheng first went to the school and received a warm welcome from the teachers and students of the Central Academy of Drama.

The atmosphere was more lively than ever before, and Cheng Sheng became the focus of everyone's attention amidst the applause of the entire school's teachers and students.

Teacher Zhang Yang even had Cheng Sheng share his experiences from the trip to Venice in front of the entire school.

Cheng Sheng was forced to give a lesson to the teachers and students of the Central Academy of Drama.

As for what to say!
Of course, I can't say that I won this award because I sold myself to Catherine.

Instead, he talked about some interesting things that happened at the Venice Film Festival, and then briefly mentioned what kind of films can win awards at the Venice Film Festival.

"Dear teachers and students, I'd like to talk about what kind of films can win awards at the Venice Film Festival. As we all know, to win an award at a film festival, you first need to know the jury's preferences..."

These are all lessons learned from experience, and conclusions Cheng Sheng drew from another memory and this world. (End of Chapter)
