Nothing happened.
Thankfully.
We slept until it was past eight in the morning, of course we were awoken by Linjie whose morning is clearly not so lovely. After that, Ming Chen was chastised by Linjie earning a full blown laughter from me and immediately turned guilty after seeing the dark eye bags underneath Linjie's eyes.
She couldn't call the hotel staff since this will definitely become a big scoop if it was found that a famous actor was seen on a hotel room with a woman.
It'll probably make things worse, it's for sure.
After that, I was called by my parents and luckily, it was my dad who called me. If it was my brother, heaven knows how much colorful his mind is and he would probably turn his direction here and fight with Ming Chen.
"I still have some clothes with me, though it's a bit long, it's better to have mine than to buy clothes. Who knows what those small minded people think of" Linjie said as she turn her back before us but not before she pointed at Ming Chen. "Don't you dare do immoral things to Mian Mian or I swear to God, manager or not, I will make you a eunuch"
Ming Chen can only nod timidly before Linjie was out. Well, that was fun.
Soon, it's time to meet the cast and staff and I'm really not that sociable but I'll try my best. They say 'Love the house and its crow' what a wise and impact words.
Even so, my entire being thrummed in tension, eyes wandering around every few minutes as I stand straight on my toes. I tried to lessen my breathing in case someone find it a bit irritating and when I was finally introduced in front of the crowd, I stopped breathing.
"Sorry, my girlfriend's a bit nervous" Ming Chen said and tried to dispel my awkwardness by intertwining his five fingers on my hand.
I took a large breath and smiled, let's just think that this are kids, they definitely are not but still. Let us pretend their kids and act the same, yep, easy peasy.
Nope.
"H-hi" my voice croaked and I have the urged to smack myself down after embarrassing myself.
"It's nice to meet you ms.." a man with a much bigger belly than my father said, I assume he's the director since he stand in the middle and the look on his eyes were sharp like that of an eagle.
"Feng Mian, just call me Feng Mian" I smiled, happy that I could finally talk normally.
"Feng Mian, great name" one staff said as she nodded at me.
"So you're his girlfriend, finally, we can finally see our junior's precious girlfriend that he can't bear to show towards his da ge and da jie"
Some male said, his voice were enough to get any female hooked on. Is he an actor or a CV? His voice is really deep and mellows, it's so pleasing to hear. I looked to the voice direction and couldn't believe what I'm seeing.
"Da-Da Da! It's you, I'm sorry um, hi... hello Da Da, my name is F-Feng Mian"
I wanted to squeal out loud and dance my heart out. I couldn't believe it! It's my idol, my one and only idol who was in hiatus for about four years! Now, he's acting and I couldn't wait to share it to everyone!
Ah! My idol! Mo Qing Zhen Da Da!
"We met eyes! Eep!" I silently screamed as I hold onto Ming Chen's sleeves while looking at my male god with such reverence in my eyes.
"Oh, it seems like our Xiao Mian- may I call you that?" I nodded quickly and he flashed me a blinding smile and continued. "As I was saying, our Xiao Mian seems to like me, don't you?"
"I do!" I couldn't help but say earning a pinch on my hand from Ming Chen.
I looked at his dark face and finally processed the situation. All the staff were smiling at me while Linjie laughed without care, pouring oil into the fire.
"Ming Chen..." I trailed off, grimacing as he smile that is not clearly a smile in my direction before looking at my male god.
"Da ge, I think I need to take my girlfriend before I do something else" he said lightly earning a cough from Linjie and the director.
I can only smile at my male god before I was taken away by Ming Chen, great.
...
It wasn't long before the staff's attention on me lessen since they still have to do their job. Actors and actresses lined up as the director shout out directions for them.
I think this particular scene needs everyone to participate unlike the other scenes. I look behind me and saw Linjie lounging in the shade of the tree before she waved her hands. I smiled in return and look at the scene.
They finally started to shoot and I was soon engrossed watching it. It felt like the place bloomed with so much flowers after seeing those fresh meats with their delicate makeup and gorgeous costumes.
Soon, it ended with just three takes, I saw Ming Chen about to go in my direction when the director called his name. I nodded at him in understanding and waited.
Then I was suddenly still, my breath getting labored as I thread my fingers together in nervousness.
Mo Qing Zhen Da Da is here, sitting beside me!
"Xiao Mian, so... how was it?"
"Good! Very good!" I almost sing praises till it reach the skies but managed to stop myself from doing it.
He smiled lightly before getting his seat closer to me until we're only five steps away. Oh gosh, I'm really, really lucky right now. I'm not cheating on Ming Chen like this right? But whatever, it's once in a blue moon, I couldn't pass this opportunity up!
He motioned his hand for me to come closer and I didn't object, still amazed at his presence.
"Ming Chen is a good guy, those women that you see in the tabloids, they only dated for fame or either for distraction nothing more. He never get serious with them, ever, but when he introduced you to us. I know you're the person he wants to grow older with"
His words were serious and even I couldn't help but blushed at his words. Ming Chen is a very peculiar person in my eyes when we were on high school, to say peculiar is a bit kind for him.
I of course knew of his past but I'm not holding it to him anymore. He's a changed man, over the course of months that I've been with him, all I see is his change.
His personality didn't change, his words are always vulgar but his promise are real. He accounts me for every decision he's facing, he wanted my confirmation before doing something major and most of all, when he promised me something, I can always be reassured that it'll happen.
"Thank you" I whispered to him and right after that, the person we're talking about appeared.
"Da ge, stay away from my girlfriend until she's my wife first"
I sat agape at his words, but it didn't anger me anymore, he's always like that. I smiled apologetically at my male god and was about to leave with Ming Chen when he called me.
"Do you mind adding me on your Weibo?"
"Yes!" I didn't even hesitate for a second before responding. Ming Chen was shrouded in deep jealousy but I didn't notice it since I was enthralled at my male god's presence.
Ah! A pie has truly fallen from the sky!
