Reborn to bury love, I can reach for the stars.

Pushing open the door to the practice room, Shi Wanmeng thought she had gone to the wrong room. She went back out to check the door sign to make sure there was no problem before walking back in with an incredulous look on her face.

A tall, slender man leaned against the window, holding a cup of coffee. His soft hair was blowing in the wind, and his expression was obscured by the backlight. It was a truly serene and pleasing scene, if only the handsome man in the painting looked familiar.

"What are you doing here?" Shi Wanmeng asked in disbelief.

"Oh, let me introduce myself. Starting today, I'll be teaching you acting. Please call me Teacher Huang."

Huang Chen took a sip of coffee, his tone unhurried.

Shi Wanmeng approached Huang Chen and carefully examined him from head to toe: "Could you be the genius they were talking about?"

Huang Chen raised his coffee cup and smiled slightly at Shi Wanmeng, making no attempt to hide his smugness.

"So, may I ask what this genius's representative works are?"

Huang Chen cleared his throat awkwardly and said, "How can you talk like that? I studied under Professor Wang and went abroad for further studies for many years. I have a comprehensive and profound understanding of acting. Many people want to hear me teach but don't have the opportunity. If Professor Wang hadn't asked me for help, do you think I would be here to teach you?"

Shi Wanmeng frowned as she looked at him. If words could be written on her face, they would definitely say: "You're kidding me."

She had a gut feeling that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite figure it out for the time being.

Huang Chen put down his coffee cup, put his hands in his pockets, and spoke in a tone that made Shi Wanmeng a little itchy: "Student Shi, may I ask if we can start the lesson now?"

Sigh, I'll endure it.

"This student is paying close attention. Acting is a course that combines theory and practice. Acting is not isolated; it has external expression and internal logic. Today is a basic acting class, so I'll talk to you about the basics of acting, how to understand characters, and how to create characters..."

"Wait a minute, wait a minute," Shi Wanmeng couldn't help but interrupt, "Teacher Huang, I don't have much time. Isn't this too basic?"

"It's Teacher Huang, not Big Teacher Huang, okay?"

"Okay, Teacher Huang."

"..."

Huang Chen looked at her speechlessly and said, "You want to run before you can even walk? Fine, then unleash your true nature and show me your performance skills. Try imitating a gorilla."

"???"

Revenge, this is definitely revenge.

After finishing her morning classes, Shi Wanmeng began to question the meaning of life. Her beautiful eyes lost their luster, and she stared straight ahead without reacting even as Chi Yun brushed past her.

Seeing her expression, Chi Yun patted her shoulder and said earnestly, "Studying is never easy, you've worked hard!"

Shi Wanmeng looked at him with tears in her eyes: "Can I stop studying? I think being a singer is good enough."

Chi Yun immediately removed her hand: "Tsk, how can you have such an attitude? Keep up the good work."

Shi Wanmeng: TAT

Shi Wanmeng took out her phone and looked at Bai Zhu and Su Muqing, who were actively chatting in the group. Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly remembered something and started looking through the chat history. Sure enough, she had mentioned in the group yesterday that she wanted to find a teacher to take acting lessons.

Everything seems to make sense now; there can't be that many coincidences.

He stormed into the practice room, stood in front of Huang Chen, and was about to teach him a lesson when he heard him say, "Let's go out for afternoon tea later."

"?" Shi Wanmeng asked in confusion, "What? Have you found your conscience that's been missing for so many years?"

"In the afternoon, we had a behavioral observation class where we sat in the restaurant and observed other people to guess their professions."

"..." I suspect you're ulterior motives.

The two sat down in the restaurant. In contrast to Huang Chen's beaming smile, Shi Wanmeng radiated an aura of utter despair. She called over a waiter, and was about to order two small cakes to treat herself when her phone rang.

Seeing the caller ID "Su Muqing", and adhering to the principle that sharing happiness is worse than keeping it to oneself, Shi Wanmeng invited her to come and observe humans together.

Unbeknownst to the three, the "Shit and Yellow" super topic updated a Weibo post.

Flying Mouse: Family, does anyone understand? I bumped into Shit-Yellow on a date, and I'm totally shipping them! [Pictures][Pictures]

Soon the comment section was filled with people, some even shedding tears over this astonishing discovery:

Little Heart: Oh my god, this is only the first episode and they're already on a date?

I'm Zihan: Baby Wanmeng is so beautiful!

Methylamine: The person on the far right looks like Su Muqing.

Drink a cup of milk tea: You must be mistaken, that's the bodyguard of our Shit-Yellow Love.

……

When Wanmeng was scrolling through Weibo in bed that night, she discovered that her comment section had been quietly taken over by Huang Chen's CP fans. This reminded her of what had happened during the day. In a fit of anger, she immediately logged out, registered a new account, went to Huang Chen's Weibo, and cursed him a couple of times before finally shutting down her computer and going to sleep, satisfied.

Shi Wanmeng thought she would have to continue her battle of wits with Huang Chen the next day, but unexpectedly, it was Professor Wang himself who came. Shi Wanmeng immediately became much more obedient and did her physical exercises seriously. She was even praised by Professor Wang for her talent, which made Chi Yun, who was standing to the side, feel gratified.

During the break between classes, Shi Wanmeng couldn't resist showing off in the "Love Family" group chat.

Nightly Dream: Hey hey hey, I took two days of acting classes, and I never thought I was a genius.

Ah Qing: It seems like today went very smoothly!

Nightly Dreams: That's right, don't you even know who I am?

White Bamboo: Is Xiaomeng going to acting class? Is she changing careers?

Nightly Dreams: Not really, I want to be well-rounded! [smug][smug]

A single bamboo shoot: That's amazing!

Aqing: Haha, let's act together next time! [clapping][clapping][clapping]

Dreaming every night: Absolutely, hehe

Chen: A good teacher produces outstanding students

I dream every night: ...

Upon seeing Huang Chen appear in the group chat, Shi Wanmeng immediately sent him a private message.

I dream every night: Why didn't Teacher Huang come the next day?

Chen: Did you miss me?

I dream every night: ...

I dream about this every night: Get out!

Chen: Oh, I guessed right, are you getting angry now?

Night after night I dream: It's still daylight, what are you dreaming about?

Nightly Dreams: You're not good enough, don't bother coming.

Chen: Are you a woodpecker?

Dreaming every night: ?

Chen: His mouth is the hardest thing about him.

Nightly Dreams: You should hurry up and find a film crew; I think you're quite good at acting.

Chen: Isn't this because you're not a very good actor, so I'm here to teach you?

Chen: Don't worry, your teacher will be back tomorrow.

I dream every night: ...

I dream every night: No!!!

After teasing Shi Wanmeng for a bit, Huang Chen put down his phone and picked up the documents beside him to continue reading.

Xie Yunting glanced at his childhood friend, who still had a smile on his lips, and asked inquiringly, "What happy event has our Young Master Huang encountered? He's smiling so broadly."

Huang Chen glanced at him but did not answer.

"Oh, you don't deny it?" Xie Yunting exclaimed as if he had discovered something amazing: "Wow, what kind of person is so charming that they have made Huang Shao, who is halfway to becoming a nun, feel a stirring of spring in his heart? Introduce them to me!"

"Don't talk nonsense."

"I'm talking nonsense? Why don't you take a look at your expression in the mirror?"
