Even on the way to the film set the next day, Ning Qiuxui couldn’t shake off her lingering feelings about the previous night.

In this materialistic and fast-paced era, as a powerful CEO, even though Zhan Qingyue isn’t as flamboyant as Zhan Qingyuan, isn’t it a bit… too conservative to not take advantage of what’s right in front of him?

In novels, the male protagonist often loses all restraint upon meeting the female protagonist, even making various excuses to pursue intimate moments.

So why is it that in her case, the script seems reversed?

Ugh, it’s not reversed; it’s just the normal way human thoughts work.

Under such circumstances, as a normal human, it’s natural to be uncontrollably attracted.

Zhan Qingyue, a mature man with the aura of a wolf, should have some thoughts when holding someone like her in his arms.

Either he doesn’t love her enough, or…

“!!!”

— Could it be that Zhan Qingyue’s… physical function hasn’t fully recovered yet?

It’s quite possible.

Thinking about their past intimate moments, Zhan Qingyue always seemed clear-headed and would stop at the right moment, showing no signs of the kind of restrained control that one might expect from someone more experienced.

The more Ning Qiuxui thought about it, the more plausible it seemed.

She took out her phone and sent Zhan Qingyue a WeChat message.

[Ning Qiuxui: (head pat emoji)]

[Zhan Qingyue: (heart explosion emoji)]

[Ning Qiuxui: qaq I don’t mind you]

[Zhan Qingyue: What?]

Ning Qiuxui was too shy to mention it directly, as it would hurt Zhan Qingyue’s pride as a CEO and make her seem too eager.

Instead, she subtly sent: [I’ll wait for you, Daddy Zhan, your devoted daughter will always love you!]

Zhan Qingyue replied with six dots.

[Zhan Qingyue: Did you do something wrong?]

[Ning Qiuxui: No! I’m a very serious actress!]

[Zhan Qingyue: I see, are you about to film a kissing scene?]

Ning Qiuxui: “……”

It seems there might be some truth to that.

“Qiuxiu, what are you looking for?” Xiaochi, noticing Ning Qiuxui had been chatting on her phone for a while and then put it down to search for something, asked.

“The script. Can you find it for me?”

“It’s here.” Xiaochi pulled out the script that Ning Qiuxui had intended to review but had forgotten to take off the car.

Since it was still not fully light outside, Xiaochi used his phone to illuminate it.

Ning Qiuxui found the kissing scene scheduled for the day after tomorrow.

“……” Is this what they call a man’s sixth sense?

……

Ning Qiuxui’s signing with Fengyi Entertainment was officially announced by her studio.

The news was arranged for trending on Weibo, landing directly at the top position.

This served as both marketing for her and advertising for Fengyi Entertainment, riding on Ning Qiuxui’s popularity.

As a new company, Fengyi Entertainment needed exposure to let people know who they had signed, attracting other artists to join.

Normally, people wouldn’t care which company an artist signed with, even if they bought trending spots.

Those who weren’t interested wouldn’t bother clicking on it.

However, when rumors spread that the CEO of Fengyi Entertainment was the head of Zhuosen Group, who had previously been Ning Qiuxui’s classmate, it drew significant attention.

The gossip-hungry public quickly took notice.

【Wow, does this count as a public relationship announcement?】

【There were rumors before, and now suddenly announcing the signing with the company—if there was something going on, would they be so open about it? Clearly just hype.】

【Here’s some info found online: Fengyi Entertainment registered on January 18th, with the major shareholder being nq.q, while zqy only holds 5% of the shares. This is clearly nq.q’s private studio; the promotional gimmick is too obvious, one star rating.】

【5% shareholder CEO? 2333 It’s probably just a nominal role. Some female stars are really shameless.】

【So who’s the older brother, who’s the younger brother, and who’s the rumored partner of nq.q? I’m dizzy from the confusion.】

…

Outside, there was a lot of noise, but the “Moon” cultists were cheering.

【Ahhh, the Moon Party’s head is under the blue sky.】

【My Moon CP just gave us so much sugar, I’m crying my eyes out, the cult’s victory.】

【President Zhan makes money as the boss, and Qiuxiu collects money as a shareholder—oh, this kind of divine favor is so, so sweet!】

【Marriage Bureau, I’m bringing you here; please get married on the spot!】

CP fans are often torn apart, so they keep a low profile and generally avoid conspicuous places to avoid being criticized.

During a break on set, Ning Qiuxiu took out her phone and saw a comment on the trending topics about the Moon Party.

She hadn’t paid much attention to this so-called Moon CP, since she and Zhan Qingyue were together now.

Nothing could be more exciting than reality.

However, seeing that comment piqued her curiosity about how people were fantasizing about her and Zhan Qingyue, so she followed the comment to the blogger’s Weibo and quickly found some clues, even stumbling upon their super topic.

Super Topic Name: #Waiting for the Moon to Rise#

Ning Qiuxiu: “???”

This name is quite problematic!

Ning Qiuxiu clicked in and was shocked by the bustling activity inside.

For such a niche CP super topic, there were over 3,000 fans, and many fan creators.

Last time, when Zhan Qingyue appeared on that commercial magazine, his photos online gave them plenty of material to work with—fan art, fan fiction, and little stories were flooding in.

Since the posts were sorted by the latest replies, Ning Qiuxiu clicked in and was instantly dazzled by the top post.

[Moon Production Exclusive]: #Waiting for the Moon to Rise##Yueqiu Fanfiction#

“Bossy Quixiu and Pretty President Zhan (ABO)”, also known as :

“Sweet Omega of the Female Alpha”

Chapter 20: Driving with a License (Part 1), everyone buy tickets quietly, proof of entry required, no reposting~

Ning Qiuxiu, being a girl who had read all kinds of erotic fiction, understood the ABO setting.

Seeing this title almost made her fall off her chair.

Although… her persona is more masculine, and although Zhan Qingyue doesn’t look particularly imposing, is this really the way to write it?

This Weibo post was made last night, and the number of comments has already exceeded 1000.

Given that the fan base has only a little over 3000 followers, this level of engagement seems incredibly high.

Ning Qiuxui couldn’t resist and clicked on the images and text posted.

“Dare to touch my people? Do you have a death wish?” Ning Qiuxui’s face turned cold as she shouted at a group of thugs, “Get lost!”

After the thugs scurried away in fear, Ning Qiuxui quickly walked over to where Zhan Qingyue lay on the ground.

Her expression softened into one of concern as she gently said, “Baby, are you okay?”

“I…” Zhan Qingyue’s cheeks flushed, panting heavily as he grasped her strong hand and said, “It seems I’m in heat earlier than expected.”

Ning Qiuxui also felt it, the sweet pheromones from him causing her own arousal to surge.

She suppressed her desire, kissed him on the forehead, then lifted him up by the waist, saying, “Don’t be afraid, I’m here. Let’s leave here first.”

….

The real Ning Qiuxui: “……”

Damn, my eyes are going blind.

What kind of idiotic setting is this? Author, come here and let’s talk.

However, despite being repulsed by the ridiculous portrayal, Ning Qiuxui couldn’t help but continue reading.

In the next scene, they were back home, and the content turned explicit, with kissing, marking, comforting… and then Ning Qiuxui took off her dress, bigger than Zhan Qingyue’s—

To be continued…

Ning Qiuxui: “???”

Just when Ning Qiuxui was getting into the story and even looking forward to this female alpha and male omega pairing, she was almost ready to spit blood from the cliffhanger.

Damn it, not only did you mess up the character personalities, but you also left it hanging!

Ning Qiuxui felt frustrated.

The ridiculousness of the current fanbase was terrifying.

“Qiuxiu, why is your face so red? Are you worried about the kissing scene later?” Xiaochi noticed Ning Qiuxui’s flushed face and asked.

Damn it! Ning Qiuxui suddenly snapped out of her excitement from the steamy story and remembered that they were filming a kissing scene today!

Kissing scenes are a basic skill for actors, and unless they’re not doing a romance drama or not playing the female lead, they’re pretty standard.

However, the kissing scene’s partner is Song Chu, and Ning Qiuxui felt like she was kissing her son.

Just then, her “son” Song Chu shuffled up to her, hesitated for a moment, and awkwardly said, “Do you mind if I have a drink?”

“???” Ning Qiuxui stared at him, “I do mind. I don’t want to remember the taste after the kiss!”

Kissing scenes should be treated casually, but if there’s a lingering taste of alcohol, she might remember it all night, which is unpleasant.

Song Chu was distressed: “Damn, I can’t relax.”

“Don’t act like you’ve never kissed a girl before,” Ning Qiuxui shot him a sidelong glance and then was shocked to see his expression, “Don’t tell me this is your first kiss!”

“First kiss, my ass. I gave away my first kiss when I was 16!” Song Chu said, then added with a gruff tone, “It’s just a screen kiss.”

Ning Qiuxiu: “……”

Song Chu, being a rather innocent young man with a puppy-like persona, and previously lacking family resources, had only landed supporting roles and had never needed a kiss scene, so his screen first kiss was still intact.

The key was that he had a lot of mom fans who saw him as a child needing careful protection.

How could he do a kissing scene!

Ning Qiuxiu suddenly felt immense pressure.

She was about to take Song Chu’s screen first kiss, and if his mom fans saw their little cabbage being taken by her, they might faint from anger.

“What should I do, baby? I feel like I’m going to be torn to pieces by your mom fans,” Ning Qiuxiu said worriedly.

“Don’t worry,” Song Chu gave her a sidelong glance, “Aren’t you the same? Did you have a kissing scene in your last drama?”

“……” No, she didn’t.

The two looked at each other.

It turned out they still seemed so pure in the public eye.

Both of them went into the scene with the mindset of either being torn apart or scolded by each other’s fans, resigned to their fate.

Then, the props teacher handed over a transparent plastic board the size of a bank card.

“What’s this for?” Ning Qiuxiu took the plastic board and examined it, puzzled.

“It’s for the kissing scene later,” the props teacher said with a grin, “You’ll place it between you during the kiss. Find an angle where it’s not easy to spot. Director Xiao said we’ll try it first, and if it doesn’t work, you’ll have to kiss for real.”

“……”

So it could be played like this.

Since their first kiss scene was set during their high school days when both the male and female leads were innocent and didn’t even understand the deeper meaning of kissing—just a natural impulse as emotions ran deep.

So, the kissing scene didn’t need any special skills or passionate affection, just a brief touch of the lips, with various angles of the camera capturing it for about ten seconds.

To portray a pure and beautiful feeling, there were no close-up shots, and anything blocking the view in the middle wasn’t easily noticeable.

Thus, their first kissing scene went by just like that.

Afterward…

The film crew was so considerate! Ning Qiuxiu was almost moved to tears.

So after finishing the morning shoot, Ning Qiuxiu obediently video-called Zhan Qingyue to report the situation.

Upon hearing this, Zhan Qingyue was pleased and said, “That’s great. The equipment I prepared for you won’t be needed.”

Ning Qiuxiu was curious: “What equipment?”

Zhan Qingyue smiled mysteriously: “You’ll find out when you open the third compartment of your bedside table in the hotel.”

Ning Qiuxiu was dying of curiosity, but she wouldn’t return to the hotel until after finishing work in the afternoon.

She hurried back to the hotel to see what secret weapon Zhan Qingyue had prepared for her.

Opening the third compartment of the bedside table, Ning Qiuxiu took out a plastic bag full of items, which seemed to have been left there during Zhan Qingyue’s last visit.

Ning Qiuxiu sat on the bed and curiously opened the bag, discovering inside: an electric toothbrush, a tube of black toothpaste, a bottle of mint mouthwash, a bottle of disinfectant, a breath freshener, a box of Yida gum, and several disinfectant cotton balls.

Ning Qiuxiu: “…………….”

Is this person toxic or what!
