Romance Variety Show: Director, there's something wrong with my script!

Chapter 72 Ancient Fossils

After a long time away from hot springs, Chen Yuan looked quite content. He recalled that the last time he had soaked in a hot spring was many years ago in Shanghai.

The next moment, everything around us fell completely still, with only the sea breeze on our faces, bringing a slight chill.

He was wondering why Zhang Jianjian hadn't arrived yet when the inner door of the hot spring was suddenly pushed open, and Zhang Jianjian's figure appeared in the doorway.

When Chen Yuan looked up, the first thing that caught his eye was a pair of slender, straight, long legs.

Zhang Jianjian held one hand to his chest, his cheeks flushed slightly. When he met Chen Yuan's gaze, he instinctively looked away.

"Turn around first." Her voice was slightly hoarse.

"Oh... okay." Chen Yuan snapped out of his daze and quickly turned around to face the dark sea.

The soft sound of water flowing behind him soon came, but the scene from just now still lingered in Chen Yuan's mind.

Although I already knew that Zhang Jianjian had an outstanding figure, the sight was still too shocking.

At this moment, what kept flashing through his mind was Zhang Jianjian's image in a light gray swimsuit, with skin as smooth as jade. It turned out to be such an apt description.

"Alright." Zhang Jianjian's voice rang out as she leaned against the hot spring rock a few meters away from Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan took a deep breath and slowly turned around, but his gaze involuntarily fell on her. Even he couldn't take his eyes off her for a moment.

Zhang Jianjian frowned and glared at him, but quickly relaxed and leaned back on the rock with a contented look on his face. The fatigue from shooting for days seemed to have been mostly washed away by the warm spring water.

A moment later, Zhang Jianjian suddenly spoke up: "Chen Yuan, don't you think something's wrong?"

"You noticed it too?" Chen Yuan nodded repeatedly. "It's a milk hot spring."

"A milk hot spring?" Zhang Jianjian was stunned for a moment, then brought his nose to sniff it, and exclaimed in surprise, "It really smells like milk! I heard that soaking in this can beautify your skin."

"No, that's not what I meant." She suddenly realized, rolled her eyes helplessly, and almost got swayed by Chen Yuan. "It's the photographer! Didn't you notice he's gone?"

Chen Yuan was taken aback upon hearing this. He looked around and realized that the photographer had disappeared without a trace.

"Hey, should we invite him in to soak together?" Chen Yuan asked casually.

"..." Zhang Jianjian sighed helplessly, and decided to stop worrying about it and enjoy this rare moment in the hot spring.

"Okay, it probably won't work." Chen Yuan muttered to himself, then plunged into the hot spring water, even his hair getting submerged.

Seeing this, Zhang Jianjian instinctively covered his legs with his hands, his cheeks flushing even more, and he said reproachfully, "What are you doing?"

The next second, Chen Yuan popped his head out of the water, wiped the water off his face, and exclaimed, "Let's wash our hair with milk hot spring water and see if it becomes smoother."

"If washing it once would work, that would be a miracle," Zhang Jianjian said speechlessly.

"If I soak in it often, will my skin become as white as yours?" Chen Yuan asked curiously as he leaned closer.

"Um, probably not." Zhang Jianjian shook his head. "My fair skin is natural."

As the conversation flowed freely, the initial awkwardness between the two gradually dissipated, and they began to have more to talk about. In the warm spring water, only their relaxed conversation remained, mixed with the sea breeze outside the window, making it exceptionally pleasant.

Outside the hot spring, the photographer sat silently on a chair in the corridor, looking dejected.

He also wanted to soak in the hot springs, but the staff wouldn't let him in no matter what. He was heartbroken at the thought of missing out on so many wonderful moments.

While the hot spring experience here is cozy and relaxing, on the other hand, with the start of the Kagoshima trip, the topic of this dating reality show is becoming increasingly popular on the internet.

Licheng, Baiye Entertainment.

An unexpected guest arrived at the creative director's office.

Li Xin was quite surprised to see the person who pushed open the door and entered. As the leading singer of Baiye Entertainment, the person rarely set foot in the songwriting department.

"I want that song, 'I'm Really in Love with You.'" The other party got straight to the point. "Could you pass on a message to Chen Yuan and tell him not to sell the song on the show?"

"I can't guarantee that," Li Xin said with a smile, spreading her hands. It was a rare thing for this superstar to come and ask for a song in person. "To be honest, he probably doesn't have much to be attached to our company."

It must be said that the style and mood of that song were indeed extremely fitting for this superstar.

She watched the live stream that night, and the moment Chen Yuan played and sang this song, Li Xin knew that it would be another hit.

"No matter what, you still have feelings for him, thank you for your help." The other person left these words and turned to leave in a hurry, without any hesitation.

"This guy, still the same self-centered person. Looks like his life has been too smooth." Li Xin watched the other person's back, twirling the ballpoint pen in her hand, seriously considering how to give this favor.

But in the past two days, it's not just this superstar who's come to see her.

Many well-known singers in the music industry have asked people to speak to them, and even some film and television production teams have approached him, wanting to buy the film and television soundtrack rights to Chen Yuan's songs.

In just over half a month, three masterpieces were produced in succession. But who would have thought that in the three years before that, all he had produced were incomplete and unfinished works?

Li Xin was speechless when she thought about it. Was this guy the type who could only create when he was moving? He couldn't come up with anything just by sitting still?

The atmosphere inside the hot spring was lively.

"Chen Yuan, have you never been in a relationship?" Zhang Jianjian asked curiously. At this moment, she had moved next to Chen Yuan, and the two were no more than a meter apart.

"We haven't talked about it," Chen Yuan replied, then countered with, "You have?"

"We talked once, back in college," Zhang Jianjian said with a slightly embarrassed smile.

"Oh!" Chen Yuan immediately became interested and quickly asked, "So, how far have things progressed for you two?"

"We just held hands and walked across the street together." Zhang Jianjian scratched his head, his cheeks slightly flushed. "I don't even know if this counts as a real relationship."

"Huh?" Chen Yuan was stunned, looking at her incredulously, his heart filled with shock. This girl, could it be that she still has her first kiss? Are there still such "pure" people nowadays?

Is love in this world inherently purer than the love he remembers?

Chen Yuan could only conclude it this way, otherwise it was hard to imagine that such a beautiful girl as Zhang Jianjian had only ever held hands with someone during her college romance.

"Wait, what's with that expression? It's normal, isn't it? Lin Wanxing and the others haven't dated either." Seeing his expression, Zhang Jianjian thought he was disgusted and was speechless.

"..." Chen Yuan suddenly had the illusion that "the entertainment industry is actually a peaceful place", but he clearly remembered that Baiye Entertainment alone had produced a lot of celebrity scandals.

"But you always have kissing scenes in your movies, right?" Chen Yuan suddenly realized and asked.

"Yes," Zhang Jianjian nodded, then, as if guessing his thoughts, raised an eyebrow and said, "Oh, you don't actually think I still have my first kiss, do you?"

Seeing Chen Yuan's shocked expression, she explained, "Kissing scenes are divided into fake kisses and real kisses. For example, when shooting close-up shots, they are basically real kisses."

"But don't get the wrong idea, it was just acting. There were dozens of staff members watching. As an actor, I still have that much professional ethics."

Chen Yuan was completely stunned. He never expected that the close-up kissing scenes in movies and TV dramas were actually real.

After a moment, he asked curiously, "Would any actors take the opportunity to stick out their tongues?"

"..." Zhang Jianjian facepalmed. He had to admit that the question was quite tricky, but he still answered truthfully, "Yes, it does happen. I haven't encountered it myself, but my best friend has. It was absolutely disgusting."

"Let's move on!" Seeing that Chen Yuan was about to ask more questions, Zhang Jianjian quickly raised his hand to interrupt him, pointing outside the hot spring, "I'm thirsty, buy me a bottle of water."

"Oh, okay, I'm thirsty too." Chen Yuan scratched his head, stood up, and walked towards the hot spring shore.

Zhang Jianjian watched his retreating figure as he stood up, his gaze inadvertently falling on his upper body. He muttered softly, "He looks so skinny, yet he has some abs?"

Only after Chen Yuan's figure disappeared through the door did she take a deep breath and exhale heavily, gradually calming the pounding in her heart.

But at this moment, she suddenly began to seriously consider a question: should she really try to cross over into another field?
