A second meeting with his newlywed husband

On the day Sun Liang and Yuan Zizhen announced their relationship on Weibo at the same time, Yin Zhengchuan happened to arrive in Hengdian.

Wei Zisu sent him his location, then looked at his newly changed WeChat display name and couldn't help laughing.

"My name is Not Nervous."

After filming a major scene, Wei Zisu went to meet Yin Zhengchuan during his break. He hadn't even changed out of his costume; he had more filming to do shortly, and might have to work through the night.

Yin Zhengchuan stood at the entrance to Film and Television City, watching from afar as Wei Zisu ran toward him in elaborate period costume. His ponytail, bound with a jade crown, swayed from side to side, making him look like a young man who had run straight out of a book.

"Mr. Yin."

When Wei Zisu reached him, he said politely, "Thank you for coming to see me, but unfortunately, I have night scenes today and might be filming all night. I've booked you a room at the hotel next door. You must be exhausted after coming all this way. Why don't you rest for the night? Tomorrow, I'll ask for a few hours off and show you around."

Yin Zhengchuan finally recovered from being dazzled by his beauty. Scratching the back of his head, he said, "I'm not tired. You're the one working harder. Um... could I have a look around your set?"

He had actually wanted to say he would go in and keep him company, but he was afraid that would make Wei Zisu uncomfortable, so he could only change it to having a look around.

Thinking he was curious about filming, Wei Zisu agreed. "Of course! Come on, I'll take you in."

His assistant, Xiao Pan, was looking everywhere for Wei Zisu with water in hand. He was a little surprised to see him return with a tall man.

"Zisu, here's your water." He handed it over while secretly sizing up Yin Zhengchuan.

Yin Zhengchuan looked around with curiosity and asked, "Where do you usually rest after filming?"

Wei Zisu took a sip of water and pointed to a chair at the foot of a wall. "Over there."

Yin Zhengchuan frowned slightly. He hadn't expected conditions on set to be so poor. The actors didn't even have a lounge and could only sit in the shade at the foot of a wall in the height of summer.

Wei Zisu pulled him over to sit together, fanning himself with his wide sleeves.

This was his second meeting with his newlywed husband. They weren't familiar with each other yet, and he really didn't know what to talk about.

Remembering how his parents would talk about work, factories, earnings, and such when chatting with other adults, he asked, "How was the harvest this year?"

Yin Zhengchuan paused, then smiled. "The harvest was pretty good."

"Oh." Wei Zisu added, "Once I'm done filming, I'll definitely go to Shandong to visit your family."

Yin Zhengchuan nodded and asked somewhat bashfully, "Then when... should we hold the wedding banquet?"

Holding a wedding banquet meant holding a wedding. He didn't care about any banquet; all he cared about was his wedding with Wei Zisu!

Wei Zisu considered it seriously for a moment, then said, "I won't hold a banquet on my side. As for yours, how about next month? I'll have some time off after filming, so I'll be free to attend."

Attend...

Yin Zhengchuan looked at him, wondering whether Wei Zisu had forgotten that he himself was one of the stars of the wedding.

"All right, next month it is," Yin Zhengchuan agreed, already looking forward to their wedding.

Wei Zisu added, "I don't really mind whether there's a banquet or not. If it happens to be a busy time in your fields and you need to harvest or plant vegetables, there's really no need to go out of your way to hold a banquet for me."

He didn't mind?

Yin Zhengchuan's fragile heart ached a little.

But he understood. Wei Zisu had only met him twice in total; he couldn't possibly have developed feelings for him. Besides, through these two meetings, he had noticed that Wei Zisu seemed very immature in his understanding of relationships.

It's all right. Take it slowly.

Yin Zhengchuan sighed inwardly and smiled. "Don't worry. The work in the fields can wait."

Xiao Pan, who was three meters away, heard their entire conversation.

He made an excuse to leave, then found a deserted spot and sent Yuan Zizhen a message: "Zizhen, Wei Zisu really is married. His husband came to visit the set today. I overheard them talking. It sounds like his husband's family grows vegetables, and they're holding the wedding banquet next month."

When Yuan Zizhen, who was with the production next door, saw the message, he couldn't help bursting into laughter in the makeup room.

Oh, Wei Zisu, Wei Zisu. He had envied Wei Zisu for so long, hated him for so long, and now he had finally gotten some satisfaction!

Wei Zisu actually married some random vegetable farmer. Hahahahaha! What goes around really does come around!

So what if people called him a homewrecker? At least he had fought to secure himself a good partner! Now that he and Sun Liang had gone public, whether the netizens believed their explanation or not, they would forget about it with enough time.

From now on, Wei Zisu could never beat him again. Whether in marriage or in his career, he would always stand above Wei Zisu!

Yuan Zizhen's mood instantly brightened, and he told his assistant, Xiao Zhu, "Go tell the director I'm leaving early tonight."

Hearing this, Xiao Zhu hurried off to relay the message to the director. Yuan Zizhen's public persona was kind, gentle, and good-tempered, but only the few people close to him knew that every word he said was an order, and disobeying came with serious consequences. Xiao Zhu would inevitably get scolded by the director for asking for leave on his behalf, but he had no choice. If he didn't go, Yuan Zizhen would treat him even more harshly.

Yuan Zizhen couldn't keep the corners of his mouth from lifting. Heaven had given him such a wonderful opportunity that he would feel bad if he didn't go humiliate Wei Zisu!

By the time Wei Zisu finished filming several scenes, it was almost dark.

He searched the set for Yin Zhengchuan, intending to tell him to go back to the hotel first rather than keep waiting, but he couldn't find him anywhere.

He asked Xiao Pan, who also said he hadn't seen him.

Taking out his phone and finding the national-flag profile picture, he discovered that Yin Zhengchuan had changed his display name to "Get Lively."

Utterly puzzled, Wei Zisu messaged him to ask where he had gone.

Yin Zhengchuan replied: "Coming, coming."

Seeing him run over from the director's direction, and thinking of his new display name, Wei Zisu couldn't help asking, "What exactly were you just doing?"

Yin Zhengchuan said, "I had a chat with the director. I'm treating the whole crew to dinner after dark, so I told them not to prepare boxed meals. The director agreed."
