CHAPTER 181: CHAPTER 181: BEING HANDSOME IS ENOUGH

On the weekend, Tian Xiang went back with the script and talked to Meng Cheng’an about the potential issues she might encounter while acting. They often watched movies, and those intimate scenes were also seen on the screen.

She didn’t say anything directly, just used a metaphor to discuss it mutually.

Meng Cheng’an: "Aren’t you acting in the character’s school days?"

Tian Xiang: "Yeah."

"Are there hugs and kisses?"

"No, there aren’t."

Meng Cheng’an nodded, pulled the script from his wife’s hands, "It’s late, let’s sleep first."

Once-a-week intimate activities, Meng Cheng’an didn’t want to talk about these things to disturb their couple time.

Tian Xiang: "Why so eager?"

Even as she said this, she reached out to wrap her arms around his neck.

The light in the room was switched off soon.

By midnight, as Tian Xiang slept deeply, Meng Cheng’an turned on the small desk lamp and started reading the script manuscript.

For no reason, talking about intimate scenes, Meng Cheng’an definitely needed to see what kind of play it was.

The next day, Tian Xiang needed to go to the crew for a costume fitting, and Meng Cheng’an took her there.

When they were riding their bicycles out, they ran into Chang Wan, who was also carrying a bag.

Chang Wan was evidently going for a fitting too. She greeted Meng Cheng’an and Tian Xiang with a beaming smile, and someone who didn’t know might think she was really good friends with them.

Tian Xiang also smiled and nodded.

That person could pretend, so she couldn’t just keep a nasty face all the time; she still had to behave properly.

The morning fitting was quite simple. Everyone went to change clothes and fix their hair, then walked around on stage and read a few lines for the director to see.

While Tian Xiang was busy inside, Meng Cheng’an sat on a bench outside the office building waiting for her.

Liu Jun led people over from outside and saw a man in a gray coat paired with a white shirt sitting by the flower bed outside the office. He was looking up, eyes slightly closed, enjoying the winter sun, with exquisite features, beautiful facial lines, and a tall, well-built figure, like a masterpiece in the hands of a master.

Liu Jun was stunned, then slowly walked over.

Meng Cheng’an had only slept four hours the night before, so he was a bit drowsy, lazily resting on the bench by the flower bed, eyes closed, when he sensed some movement behind him.

He opened his eyes to check the situation and was startled by a bearded face coming close, barely a fist’s distance away.

Meng Cheng’an jumped in fright, pushed the approaching face forcefully, and stared at Liu Jun in bewilderment, "Comrade, what are you doing?"

Liu Jun, seeing the open-eyed Meng Cheng’an looking even more extraordinarily handsome, was delighted and immediately leaned forward, "Student, what’s your name? Are you from the Drama College too?"

The last time he went to the school, how come he didn’t see this person? This guy is too attractive.

Meng Cheng’an: "I’m not."

Liu Jun paused, "That’s okay, you have great physical attributes, photogenic, and you can work hard on the acting later."

Meng Cheng’an sensed something was off, frowned, "I’m just here to accompany someone for a fitting, I have no interest or hobby in acting."

Meng Cheng’an truly didn’t like it.

Back when he was working at the Mechanical Factory, Tian Xiang dragged him to act in a stage play; seeing the dark crowd below, he was nervous for quite a while and didn’t act well. He didn’t like that feeling of being known by people.

He was given such a face by heaven, but didn’t like showing it to others.

Liu Jun, feeling anxious, laughed, "Hey student, don’t refuse so quickly. What are you interested in? I can arrange it, whatever script you want."

Meng Cheng’an: "I’m not interested in what you said."

Liu Jun didn’t want to pass up this rare handsome guy and said forcefully, "No, you must be interested."

Meng Cheng’an: "..."

What’s with this person, even forcing him?

Just then, a leader working overtime came down from the office building, saw Liu Jun and Meng Cheng’an seemingly about to argue, and hurried over to shield Meng Cheng’an.

"Liu Jun, what are you doing?"

Liu Jun: "I’m not doing anything, just wanted to discuss the script with this student."

The leader carefully looked at Meng Cheng’an.

Meng Cheng’an shook his head, "I’m not interested in these."

Oh, I see.

The leader nodded with a smile, then pulled Liu Jun aside and said, "They have no intention, why are you making a fuss here?"

Liu Jun: "Director Li, can’t you see, he’s good-looking."

Director Li nodded, "I saw. You can mess with someone else, but not this one. His last name is Meng..."

Director Li quickly explained Meng Cheng’an’s identity to Liu Jun. He had visited the Military and Political Institute once, saw Meng Cheng’an walking with the old man, and remembered him with just one look.

After chatting with Director Li for a while, Liu Jun, looking as if he lost his soul, glanced reluctantly at Meng Cheng’an a few times before preparing to go in, unexpectedly stopped by Meng Cheng’an himself.

Liu Jun cheerfully approached, "Student, did you change your mind?"

Meng Cheng’an shook his head, "You just said the script can be modified?"

"Huh?"

...

This costume fitting overall went well; Liu Jun had a keen eye, and everyone seemed to be fitting their roles when they got into character.

When Tian Xiang changed and came out to find Meng Cheng’an, he was still sitting on the stone bench by the flower bed, but his eyes were not closed, staring intently at the door.

The man bathed in sunlight looked extremely handsome, and Tian Xiang couldn’t help but grin when she saw him.

Meng Cheng’an saw his wife and went over to meet her, helping her with her bag.

The two soon rode off on their bicycles.

Everyone left dumbfounded, standing outside the office watching the two leave, a bit stunned.

Having earlier heard rumors that Tian Xiang was already married, some lower-year students or those from different classes were puzzled; isn’t she a campus beauty? Getting married so early, wouldn’t that hinder her career?

Now seeing her man, everyone felt it made perfect sense.

If it were them, finding such a handsome guy with an extraordinary family background, they would marry too.

Better hold onto him early, to prevent him from slipping away.

When Chang Wan came out carrying things, she saw a crowd at the door, frowned, and asked, "What are you all gathered here doing?"

Someone laughed and said, "Nothing much, just watching Tian Xiang and her man."

Chang Wan rolled her eyes at them, "They’re not monkeys, what’s there to see?"

With that, Chang Wan left with her bicycle.

The crowd exchanged glances, feeling a bit puzzled.

Chang Wan’s temperament seemed cold and warm at times, sometimes appearing easy to get along with, sometimes inexplicably hostile.

Everyone found it hard to figure out, but Xiao Lei knew, Chang Wan most likely had a thing for Meng Cheng’an; after all, they lived in the same compound.

This was quite a chaotic situation; wasn’t Chang Wan seeing someone from the Normal College?

Meanwhile,

Chang Wan hadn’t been out of the production plant long when she saw Lu Feng waiting for her with his bicycle at the intersection.
