My lord, hold me tight! (Quick Transmigration)

After a long silence, Mu Wan'er's smile almost faded.

“…If you are tired, go and rest. Don’t worry about me,” Chunyu Xiu said calmly.

-

"Card!"

Director Zhang sat up from his seat and walked towards Qin Zhihuai.

"Xiao Qin, the character Chunyu Xiu is a cold and indifferent person. He would never speak to someone gently, especially since Mu Wan'er is not the person he likes..." Director Zhang explained the scene and personally went on stage to demonstrate the character's tone.

Qin Zhihuai nodded to indicate that he understood, and the two continued filming, with much better results.

-

"..." Mu Wan'er looked at the outstanding figure standing with his hands behind his back in front of her, feeling a little unwilling. She refused to believe that she, the most beautiful woman in the capital, could not win over the Ninth Prince!

"Since Your Highness is not resting, then Wan'er will stay here with you." Mu Wan'er's voice was as clear and melodious as ever, but it carried a hint of stubbornness, like a little girl sulking.

Chunyu Xiu remained silent, lost in his own thoughts.

A gentle breeze stirred, lifting their hair and subtly revealing its tangled strands. Peach blossoms fluttered down, landing on their clothes, their pink hue adding a touch of romance and making them appear like a perfect couple.

After an unknown amount of time, Chunyu Xiu emerged from his thoughts and turned to leave when a beautiful figure in his peripheral vision caught his attention.

Mu Wan'er's face was slightly pale, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead. Her delicate features were particularly pitiful.

But the man in front of her only showed a slight fluctuation in his eyes, and then started to leave without saying a word.

Seeing Chunyu Xiu's movements, Mu Wan'er immediately prepared to follow, but her legs had become stiff from standing for so long, and she lost her footing, letting out a soft cry as she was about to fall.

Suddenly, Chunyu Xiu, who was passing by, reached out and helped Mu Wan'er.

Mu Wan'er was stunned, and Chunyu Xiu was stunned too...

-

"Card!"

Qin Zhihuai released Qi Nuan's hand, his expression slightly embarrassed. In the script, Chunyu Xiu was supposed to ignore Mu Wan'er's fall and walk past her directly, but... when he heard her helpless and panicked cry, his heart tightened, and by the time he realized what was happening, he had already caught her.

Qi Nuan noticed his struggle and frustration, and smiled like a little fox.

"Little Qin..." Director Zhang gave another detailed explanation.

-

Chunyu Xiu continued walking, and the woman behind him suddenly collapsed to the ground.

A maidservant nearby couldn't bear to watch any longer and stepped forward to help Mu Wan'er up.

"Miss, are you alright? His Highness the Ninth Prince..." the maid asked worriedly.

Mu Wan'er shook her head and stood up with the help of her maid. Surprisingly, she did not throw a tantrum like she usually does.

She looked at the man, whose very back view was so outstanding that it stirred up all sorts of fantasies.

His cold back view filled her eyes with hurt and grievance, then she seemed to remember something, her eyes flashing with infatuation, followed by a fleeting glint of determination.

Whose whispers are carried on the wind?

Your Highness, you are mine...

-

"Cut! Very good, that's a wrap!" Director Zhang praised Qi Nuan's brilliant and flawless performance.

As soon as the director yelled "cut," Qi Nuan couldn't hold back anymore and started fanning herself vigorously with both hands; she was dying of heat!

"Director Zhang, but..." the assistant director leaned in, looking troubled, "this doesn't match the real-life character in the script!"

"What's wrong?" Director Zhang asked.

He remembered as soon as he asked the question that Mu Wan'er was a villainous supporting character. The plot he had just heard was designed to show Mu Wan'er's resentment and unwillingness towards Chunyu Xiu's ruthlessness, thus portraying a supporting character that the audience would hate.

However, he felt that Qi Nuan's interpretation was just right, giving the character a completely new perspective and psychological activities. There was darkness in her character, but it also made people feel more sympathy for Mu Wan'er. It has to be said that Qi Nuan's acting was really good! Even he was drawn into it.

Unbeknownst to him, a single remark from the assistant director made Director Zhang appreciate Qi Nuan even more.

"That's good," Director Zhang said with a smile.

Seeing his reaction, the assistant director fell silent. After all, the other person was a senior figure, and it was reasonable that their understanding of the character might differ.

After finishing her morning's filming, Qi Nuan, carrying a lunchbox brought by her mother, knocked on Qin Zhihuai's dressing room door.

"Eat together?" The door opened, and Qi Nuan waved the small lunchbox in her hand at Qin Zhihuai.

He was eating, a piece of meat with a perfect balance of fat and lean meat between his teeth. At that moment, he looked up in confusion, his clear eyes filled with bewilderment, just like a little cat, his delicate features exuding a hint of allure.

If it weren't for his manager Meng Hao being there, she would have been unable to resist pouncing on him and ravaging him!

When Qin Zhihuai saw it was her, he blinked and nodded in agreement.

Qi Nuan no longer held back and walked over to sit opposite Qin Zhihuai, opening the delicious lunchbox.

The aroma of the food was so enticing that it caught the attention of the person across the table.

"Yours is different from mine..." Qin Zhihuai said, his voice tinged with doubt.

"Of course, my mother made this herself!" Qi Nuan said with a hint of pride.

After she finished speaking, the person opposite her fell silent for a moment, and Qi Nuan sensitively noticed that his aura had suddenly dimmed.

"What's wrong?" Qi Nuan stopped what she was doing and looked up to ask.

"...Your mother is so good to you." Qin Zhihuai said with his head down, the envy in his tone making Qi Nuan a little puzzled.

"..." In the original plot, Qin Zhihuai's family was only mentioned briefly. His parents died in a car accident when he was young, and he was raised by his grandparents.

Qi Nuan thought back and already had her own ideas.

"Here! This is for you. I'm on a diet, so don't waste it~" Qi Nuan picked out a piece of meat from the vegetables and gave it to Qin Zhihuai with a disgusted expression.

"……Thanks."

Qin Zhihuai was stunned for a moment, then actually ate it: "It's delicious, it tastes like home."

Qi Nuan looked at his smiling face when he looked up. Pure and beautiful was not enough to describe his smile. His angelic face made her feel dazed.

"Ahem!" Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was getting increasingly strange, Meng Hao coughed to let his presence be known.

Qi Nuan snapped out of her daze, gave a soft hum, then turned around, her ears slightly red, and said in a condescending tone, "Then you can finish it all!"

"Hmm." Qin Zhihuai nodded, looking at Qi Nuan's awkward expression, and smiled as he unceremoniously took food from her lunchbox and ate it.

"...Hey, Qin Zhihuai, are you a reincarnation of a starving ghost? How come you ate so much in such a short time!"

"Well……"

"Hey! Qin Zhihuai, don't finish eating, I still want to eat!"

"Well?"

Meng Hao watched from the side with wide eyes, unable to believe that the childish man and woman in front of him were a famous soul singer and a so-called "diva" actor in the industry.

Can he say that he doesn't know these two childish kids at all?

The afternoon schedule continued, and now it was time for the female lead, Le Wen, to make her appearance.

Qi Nuan looked at Le Wen, who was surrounded by a group of staff members, smiling warmly and wearing light makeup that accentuated the best features of her face, and felt no emotion.

To rise from a minor role to a popular young actress, luck is one factor, hard work is another, but it's impossible to say that she is truly as pure, kind, and innocent as described in the original story.

"Sister Lewen, you're so beautiful, just as pretty as you are on TV!" a staff member said, and you could tell from her shining eyes that she must be a big fan of Lewen.

Le Wen lowered her head and smiled shyly, her embarrassment genuine.

"Sister Lewen, could... could you give me your autograph?" a staff member asked excitedly.

Le Wen smiled and nodded, showing no airs whatsoever.

Seeing this, others rushed forward to ask for autographs, and the entire crew instantly turned into Le Wen's fan meeting.

Looking at this scene, Qi Nuan sighed inwardly. She thought, "As expected of a popular star, the treatment she receives is truly different from the doubts she faced on her first day on set..."

"Hello, I'm Le Wen." After dealing with the crazed fans, Le Wen greeted each of the actors one by one, with a friendly and humble demeanor.

"Qi Nuan." When she arrived at Qi Nuan's place, she only glanced at Le Wen indifferently, without any intention of shaking her outstretched hand, and then looked at the script in her hand with an arrogant expression.

Le Wen was taken aback, but just smiled. She had met all sorts of people before, and she had experienced Qi Nuan's attitude before, so she didn't care much.

The other staff members, however, saw Qi Nuan's attitude and their eyes showed their dissatisfaction, but they dared not say anything because of her domineering power.

Qi Nuan automatically filtered out the various gazes and carefully looked at the script. The next scene was her first scene with Le Wen, who was a powerful idol actress who had worked her way up in the entertainment industry. She couldn't let Le Wen suppress her and completely follow her emotions.

"Hello, I am Qin Zhihuai."

Qi Nuan was drawn over by the clear and pleasant voice, only to see that Le Wen had already called Qin Zhihuai at some point.

"Hehe, of course I know you are Qin Zhihuai. I really like your songs! 'Angel's Smile' is so beautiful!" Le Wen said with a smile, expressing her love for Qin Zhihuai's songs.

Qi Nuan turned her head to look. The woman was standing there, smiling gently and innocently. The man looked up at her and returned her a polite smile.

She stepped forward, took Le Wen's outstretched hand, and smiled, "Le Wen, do you like that song too? Me too! I'm so looking forward to the new album!"

Le Wen and Qin Zhihuai were both taken aback; one was somewhat puzzled, while the other was inexplicably delighted.

Seeing the faint hostility in Qi Nuan's eyes, Le Wen understood.

Ignoring the excitement of meeting her idol, she sized up the woman in front of her. She made no attempt to hide her hostility, blocking Qin Zhihuai's view. Her overly cautious demeanor was somewhat endearing.

Le Wen felt that the woman in front of her was different from the arrogant, rude, and talentless actress with only connections that her acquaintances had described. So, it seems that you can only believe half of what people in the industry say.

She chatted with Qi Nuan for a few minutes before going to greet the others. Building good relationships with colleagues always brings unexpected surprises in times of crisis—this was her experience from years of filming.

Qin Zhihuai looked at Qi Nuan, who was still standing in front of him, and asked, "...Do you really like my songs?"

Qi Nuan awkwardly met his clear gaze, her face slightly flushed, looking as if her secret had been exposed.

"Hmm, it's alright, not bad. Keep up the good work, young man!" Qi Nuan said perfunctorily, her eyes flickering with embarrassment. Finally, she patted Qin Zhihuai's shoulder encouragingly in the manner of a "senior," and then ran away in a bit of a hurry.

Back in her seat, she turned her back to Qin Zhihuai, her ears red, and refused to turn to look at him.

Little did she know that her shyness and awkwardness in liking someone but not admitting it were incredibly endearing to Qin Zhihuai.

Qin Zhihuai chuckled; the smile in his eyes, though he rarely smiled, was completely genuine and pure joy.
