When she had just been pushed down onto the floor by the Best Actor, her grip had loosened, and her underwear had fallen to the ground.

Cen Luan lowered his gaze and glanced at the small piece of white underwear. A faint smile curved at the corner of his lips. “It’s nothing. Looking forward to working together.”

Looking forward to working together?

“You… I… you…” Ye Fu stammered, completely flustered. She had never imagined that the Best Actor would actually be her male lead!

Cen Luan nodded at her, then went to speak with the director.

Ye Fu stood there when someone nudged her arm. She turned and saw it was the actress from earlier, who picked up her underwear and handed it to her. “Congratulations.”

“Thank you… and sorry,” Ye Fu said, wanting to smile but feeling it wasn’t appropriate, so she pressed her lips together instead.

“It’s fine. The director is fair—I trust his judgment. And after watching your crying scene, I realized you really do cry more beautifully than I do. Also, when you were crying, that…”

“That?”

Following the direction of her pointing finger, Ye Fu glanced down—and immediately saw her nipples standing prominently.

Her face flushed with embarrassment. “Hey, don’t look.”

She quickly put her underwear back on.

The actress laughed. “Why so shy? I’ve already seen everything. When you were crying, that part… I can’t really describe it, but honestly, if I were a man, seeing you cry like that, I’d definitely want you.”

“…”

Ye Fu’s face turned bright red, and she didn’t know what to say.

The actress was carefree by nature. After laughing, she waved goodbye and left.

After getting dressed, Ye Fu stepped outside. Everyone else had already left, leaving only the director and Cen Luan standing in the corridor, talking about something. Cen Luan held a cigarette between his fingers, and the director seemed to be discussing the script with him. He nodded occasionally.

After watching for a while, Cen Luan seemed to sense her gaze and turned his head. His eyes were calm and emotionless. He gave her a brief glance before shifting his attention back to the director.

Only then did Ye Fu realize she should smile at him.

Even though he no longer saw it.

But… she was truly grateful to the Best Actor.

If it weren’t for him, she would never have gotten this role.

She resolved to repay him properly in the future. With that thought, she returned home happily.

What she didn’t know was that as soon as she left, the conversation between Director Xu and Cen Luan was entirely about her.

“What made you so kind today?” Director Xu asked. “Do you know that girl?”

Cen Luan flicked the ash from his cigarette and smiled. “No. I don’t.”

Director Xu didn’t believe him. “Her crying scene was better than the other one’s, otherwise I wouldn’t have kept her.”

“I really don’t know her.” Cen Luan extinguished his cigarette. Before leaving, he said, “But if I’m being honest… her body…”

His voice was low, carrying a faint smile. “It makes people feel desire.”

“Out of the hundred people today, she’s the only one who made you feel that?” Director Xu rested his chin in his hand, as if weighing the truth of that statement.

Cen Luan neither confirmed nor denied it. “Her reaction makes me feel desire.”

“What reaction?”

“When she took off her clothes, the others hesitated briefly and then acted natural. Only she—from undressing to performing—carried a sense of shame the entire time.” Cen Luan looked at Director Xu and asked, “Her body and her reactions are both very ‘clean.’ That fits your female lead, doesn’t it?”

Director Xu thought for a moment. “It does fit. I just don’t know if she can play the role well.”

“She can.” Cen Luan glanced in the direction Ye Fu had left. “Didn’t we just work well together?”

Director Xu laughed. “You brat.”
