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

Looking at Fang Zihao's back in front of him, Huang Chen silently compared his own back to Fang Zihao's.

Tsk, even with shoes on, he's only a little over 1.8 meters tall, not as tall as me.

"What are you doing, sneaking around like that in the back?"

Director He looked up and saw Huang Chen looking around, seemingly casually but actually moving closer to him, which puzzled him greatly.

Fang Zihao turned around in surprise upon hearing this. Who is this?

Huang Chen glanced at his face again. Hmm, not bad. No wonder so many girls like him. It's a pity he's not as good as me.

"Hey, I'm talking to you."

Director He thought that Huang Chen hadn't heard him because his voice was too soft, so he raised his voice slightly.

At this moment, Huang Chen had already mentally rated Fang Zihao, giving him a meager 70 points, no more.

Finally finding some free time, I responded to Director He, nodded, and turned to leave.

Director He: "?"

What are you doing coming over here? Just tell me!

This scene was Shi Wanmeng's last scene of the day, and she was just a background character with only a few lines before she could leave. She thought she could get off work soon, but unexpectedly, a problem arose here.

This scene was an ensemble piece with many extras. With so many people, the set became chaotic, and we had to reshoot it several times because of the positioning issues.

However, the staff on site were very experienced, and this situation was probably quite common, so no one took it seriously. After several rounds of on-site guidance, everything finally got back on track.

Shi Wanmeng didn't have many lines to begin with, and they were all complaints about the client played by Huang Chen. Unexpectedly, after saying just one sentence, she looked up and met Huang Chen's eyes, and for a moment she was stunned and stammered.

"Cut!" Director He peeked out from behind the monitor. "Again!"

When she came to her senses, Wanmeng felt a little embarrassed and immediately stood in her place again for another take.

Unexpectedly, I only said one more line than before, and then I got stuck again. I only had four lines in total, and I messed it up completely.

Seeing the crew stop filming again because of her, Shi Wanmeng apologized to everyone repeatedly, even though Director He didn't say anything.

Wang Yixi walked to her side, patted her on the back, smiled ambiguously, and whispered, "Don't be nervous, I understand!"

Shi Wanmeng was completely confused and didn't understand what she had figured out.

Turning his head, he met Huang Chen's somewhat smug gaze and secretly vowed to pass the next one in one go!

This time, she finally didn't embarrass herself and clearly explained the four lines of dialogue. Shi Wanmeng can finally retire successfully.

With a sigh of relief, Shi Wanmeng said to Wang Yixi beside her, "Sister Yixi, I'm going home now. See you tomorrow!" She waved to the other staff members as she spoke.

"Are you leaving now?"

Hearing her question, Shi Wanmeng was a little confused: "I don't have any scenes to film today?"

Wang Yixi glanced at Huang Chen on the other side, her tone subtly teasing: "Aren't you going to wait for him to have dinner together? That won't do..."

"Oh, sis, don't talk nonsense." Without waiting for a reply, she ran off.

In the next scene, Fang Zihao was about to appear. Huang Chen glanced at the man beside her, cleared her throat, straightened her collar, put away her smile, and exuded a powerful aura.

Sure enough, under Huang Chen's intentional or unintentional suppression, Fang Zihao kept forgetting his lines and actions, and he still hadn't gotten it right on the fourth try.

Fang Zihao glanced apologetically at Director He, then walked to the sidelines and took the water his assistant handed him to calm himself down.

Huang Chen glanced at him again, silently thinking: This kid's acting is subpar, deduct another ten points.

Tsk, it's not a threat.

The experienced director He also noticed something was wrong. He walked over to Huang Chen and lightly punched him: "What are you doing, kid? Give me a proper performance and tone it down."

Having achieved his goal, Huang Chen knew when to stop, and sure enough, the next filming went very smoothly.

Not long after, Huang Chen's scenes were over, and the rest were all scenes with the male and female leads.

Director He glanced at Huang Chen, who was about to leave, and walked up to him: "Little Huang, it's rare to see you volunteer to act in a movie. It's been a long time. Let's have dinner together tonight?"

"Uncle He, you can just call me Xiao Chen," Huang Chen said helplessly. Why couldn't he change his way of addressing me? "I already have plans for tonight. I'll come visit the set in a few days and then I'll treat you to dinner."

"Visiting the set?" Director He suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Little Huang, are you busy backstage?"

"Is there a problem?"

Huang Chen was unsure of Director He's intentions and did not give a clear answer.

"I just want you to come visit me more often when you have some free time. Even though I don't have any roles for you, being my acting coach would be great too." Director He rubbed his hands together.

"Have time."

Without a second thought, Huang Chen agreed immediately, thinking: "Even if I'm busy, I can always find the time. Besides, Xie Yunting is also at the company."

Having received an affirmative answer, Director He didn't stand on ceremony and went about his business with a smile.

After leaving the film set, Huang Chen drove to his old house. Since his participation in "Love Code" was exposed and he was kicked out of the house by his mother, he had not been back for more than a month.

He knew that his mother had finally gotten over her anger when Xie Yunting came to offer a way out a couple of days ago.

Driving along the roadside, Huang Chen thought for a moment and decided to buy a bouquet of flowers to take home and appease his mother.

Upon entering the flower shop, Huang Chen looked at the colorful array of flowers and felt a bit overwhelmed. His knowledge of flowers was limited to red roses, which were clearly not suitable for his mother.

The female shop assistant who was trimming the flowers nearby seemed to notice his hesitation and came over to introduce them to him one by one.

As soon as she got closer and saw his face clearly, the female shop assistant gasped. "Holy crap, isn't that Huang Chen?"

She has been a loyal viewer of "Love Code" since its premiere, watching every episode of the live broadcast.

Huang Chen doesn't seem to realize she's a celebrity. She wasn't wearing sunglasses or a mask, and seemed a little confused by the surprised look on the shop assistant's face.

Under his gaze, the shop assistant stammered, "Y-hello, are you...are you here to buy flowers?"

"Um, do you have any recommendations?"

Upon hearing his answer, the shop assistant was already screaming in her heart: Ahhhh, not only is he even more handsome in person than on TV, but his voice is also so beautiful!!! No wonder Shi Wanmeng seemed completely unable to resist him; from today onwards, he's my male god!!!

"Hello?" Seeing that she was looking at him without saying anything, Huang Chen felt a little uneasy. Was this person alright?

"Oh, oh," the shop assistant finally snapped out of her daze and quickly regained her professionalism: "Who are you giving this to?"

Well, she wasn't trying to use this opportunity to find out about her boyfriend!

"This is for my mother," Huang Chen said with a sigh of relief, then quietly added, "No carnations."

He recalled the carnations he received as a child for Mother's Day, which his mother didn't seem to really like.
