Chapter 84

After half an hour, Zhong Chuhong, who had been laughing so hard at the plot of *Happy Ghost* that her stomach hurt, finally asked, "So, when do you plan to shoot this movie? Who do you plan to cast as the male lead? And, besides me, there are two other female leads. Who do you plan to invite?"

"If we start shooting, it will be next year, as this movie is scheduled for the summer. As for the female leads, besides you, there's also Mei Mei! I think Mei Mei, with her black-framed glasses, is a perfect match for the role of a girl who has been tormented by exams. As for the other female lead, Yan Ruyu, I plan to hold an open audition to find someone pretty, at least someone who won't be outshone by you!"

"Hmm? Are you saying I'm not pretty enough?"

"Hey, be reasonable, okay? You don't want to apply ointment to my other side too, do you!"

Seeing Zhong Chuhong place her hand on his other, unbruised side, Wu Cheng smiled bitterly.

"Zhi, what do you think? Would it look better if it were symmetrical?"

At some point, Zhao Yazhi had already finished washing the dishes and was sitting beside them, listening to the plot of *Happy Ghost*. Hearing Zhong Chuhong's question, Zhao Yazhi smiled and got up, saying, "You decide! I won't give you any advice. I need to go over my script!"

When Zhao Yazhi went upstairs, the two of them seemed to relax a bit.

Seeing this, Wu Cheng couldn't help but chuckle, "So, you're afraid of Zhi too!"

"Hmph! I respect her, I'm not afraid!" Zhong Chuhong shot him a glare, but deep down, she was a bit annoyed. She didn't know why she was worried about Zhao Yazhi getting angry or being afraid of her. She felt that she couldn't compete with her at all!

Thinking about it, she vented her anger on Wu Cheng. If it weren't for this scoundrel being so fickle, she wouldn't have to worry so much.

Feeling depressed, she pounced on his chest and bit him.

"Hey, ouch... ouch... Are you a dog?"

"I'm a mouse!"

"..."

Wu Cheng was defeated by her innocence, but he thought it was fake innocence.

...

Happy times always pass quickly. After the two-day holiday, Zhao Yazhi returned to the busy filming of the TV drama, and Wu Cheng went back to the company to work.

Previously, Zhao Yazhi would still ask Wu Cheng to go to school, but now, it was no longer necessary.

In the Urban Entertainment News, *Jade Dynasty* was still being updated, and the plot was gradually unfolding. More and more people were discussing the plot of *Jade Dynasty* every day.

Wu Cheng estimated that when the female lead, Bi Yao, dies, he might be heavily criticized, just like when Mr. Jin Yong wrote Xiaolongnü to be 'ruined' and was heavily criticized.

However, compared to being 'ruined,' it's better for the female lead to die.

While *Drunken Fist* was still being heavily promoted, the director, Wu Cheng, was already on a plane heading to Japan.

Deng Lijun was going to hold a concert in Shinjuku, Japan, and since Wu Cheng had time, he naturally wanted to support her, as it was already agreed upon.

Unfortunately, Zhao Yazhi didn't have time, but Lin Qingxia did.

For both Wu Cheng and Deng Lijun, this was a regret, as it wasn't what they wanted. Both of them had hoped for a romantic getaway, and Wu Cheng even thought that if it were just the two of them, he might be able to win over Sister Jun.

But with Lin Qingxia joining, that was out of the question.

However, he thought that if he could have both of them, it wouldn't be bad. Thinking about it, his mood gradually improved.

Deng Lijun, on the other hand, wanted a romantic getaway even more. She was a woman with a strong sense of romance and enjoyed a life full of charm.

Actually, no woman lacks a romantic heart; it just depends on whether their men are willing to invest their time, energy, and money to make their lives romantic.

Romance doesn't necessarily cost money, but it does require effort.

For a woman like Deng Lijun, the man who gives her romance doesn't need to be rich, but he must be willing to put in a lot of effort. Wu Cheng had no complaints about this, as it was what he wanted to give her. He was very willing to give his heart to the woman he loved.

Unfortunately, with Lin Qingxia around, the romance had to be split.

Wu Cheng's arrival didn't attract much attention, or rather, with his current fame, no one recognized him. At most, they might find him familiar.

Of course, he had changed a bit since *Five Lucky Stars*. He had grown taller, and he no longer looked like a child.

If he dressed more maturely, he could easily pass as an adult.

Lin Qingxia had arrived a day earlier, and the two women dressed very simply, so much so that they didn't attract any attention when they stood in a crowd.

They wore simple T-shirts and loose休闲 pants, with their hair tied in ponytails, baseball caps, and sunglasses. Lin Qingxia looked fresh and energetic, with a youthful charm.

Deng Lijun's outfit was similar, but she wore a denim strapless dress, showing off her smooth calves. No one would associate this girl, dressed like a teenager with a baseball cap and sunglasses, with the glamorous superstar.

Others didn't find their appearance strange, as their charm hadn't diminished, but they certainly didn't receive the same attention as celebrities.

However, when Wu Cheng saw them, he was attracted by their outfits.

Without hesitation, he hugged them and said, "Dear sisters, I missed you so much!" Then, without waiting for a response, he kissed Deng Lijun passionately, leaving Lin Qingxia standing there, mouth agape.

Just as Lin Qingxia was stunned, he released Deng Lijun and cupped her face, kissing her as well.

Lin Qingxia was defeated by Wu Cheng's boldness and kissed him back in a daze.

It wasn't long before several people were drawn to Wu Cheng's boldness. After all, kissing two girls in public is always a bit unusual.

Then, Wu Cheng felt a strong pinch on both sides of his ribs, making him gasp in pain.

Seeing Wu Cheng gasp, Deng Lijun pulled him away, and Wu Cheng had no choice but to grab Lin Qingxia, and the three of them ran towards the parking lot.

Fortunately, Wu Cheng didn't have any luggage.

Once in the car, they all breathed a sigh of relief. The two women glared at Wu Cheng, looking furious and dissatisfied with his actions.

"Dear sisters, I know you missed me, and I missed you too. No need to look at me so deeply! I might get carried away and become overconfident, which wouldn't be good!"

The two women were speechless. Finally, Lin Qingxia glanced at Wu Cheng and said to Deng Lijun, "Sister Jun, have you ever seen such a shameless person? I can't take it anymore!"

Deng Lijun nodded and said, "Me neither. Should we work together?"

"Yes, together!"

So, the two women, one on each side, sandwiched Wu Cheng and attacked him simultaneously. For a moment, Wu Cheng screamed in pain, "Dear sisters, dear wives, please show mercy..."

The car was in chaos, and then came heavy breathing. In the end, the two women, exhausted and blushing, leaned against him, panting.

Wu Cheng smacked his lips, as if savoring something.

The pain in his ribs was overshadowed by the endless savoring.

...

Wu Cheng's boldness with the two women seemed to be accepted by them, as if they had resigned themselves to it. They were a bit surprised that neither of them had stopped him, allowing this little rascal to enjoy the benefits of having two women.

If one of them had stopped him, he probably wouldn't have succeeded.

The two women were speechless, feeling a bit awkward, angry, and resigned.

To Wu Cheng, this was a bit unusual, as in his impression, neither of these women were the type to accept things passively; they were both very independent.

For a moment, the three of them fell silent. Finally, Deng Lijun got up to drive, and Lin Qingxia followed, sitting in the front.

Seeing Deng Lijun skillfully drive, Wu Cheng was a bit surprised and asked, "Sister Jun, are you familiar with this place?"

"Don't worry! I've driven this road countless times!" Deng Lijun smiled confidently. "How about it? What do you think of this place for the first time?"

With Wu Cheng breaking the silence, the two women breathed a sigh of relief.

Wu Cheng laughed and said, "Apart from the language, there's not much difference."

"By the way, Xiao Cheng, do you speak Japanese?" Lin Qingxia, sitting in the passenger seat, turned around and asked.

"Yes, I do!"

Wu Cheng smiled, a hint of a strange smile flashing across his lips.

Actually, Wu Cheng wasn't unfamiliar with Japanese. He had watched many movies and anime in Japanese.

With his exceptional memory, before coming, Wu Cheng had taken the opportunity to master Japanese.

While he might not be an expert, he could handle daily conversations without any problem.

Wu Cheng had some dislike, even some hostility, towards Japan and the Japanese people, but he also liked Japanese anime.

Sometimes, Wu Cheng felt a bit contradictory. Was he still a愤青 (angry youth)? Was he betraying his country and people by liking Japanese culture?

Boycotting Japanese products was simply impossible.
