"Because of his identity, if I was truly with him, even if I were to have any achievements in the future, I'm afraid that many people would not think that I relied on my own strength to obtain those achievements. Since I made up my mind not to rely on my family, naturally, I can't rely on Mu Chen. Although he had already helped me quite a bit, I still didn't want him to get involved in the real business. What I truly want is for one day, when I reach the height I want, I can openly and even confidently say to him, "Mu Chen, I've chased you for a long time, and have finally caught up to you."

She knew that there were some things that she couldn't rely on herself without Mu Chen's help, such as the assistant director Chen Yue whom she met during the filming of "Meet with Love", or the Hong Kong boss who asked her to go out to drink with him when she filmed. If she didn't go, she wouldn't be able to sign the contract. At that time, without Mu Chen, she really wouldn't have been able to get things done. This circle was just realistic, she didn't need to try to be strong in those areas, but she still wanted to rely on herself for the real acting career. She definitely didn't want to bring money into the team or rely on relationships to determine who would be the female lead.

Xing Jianxuan couldn't help but sigh. "Jia Yu, aren't you a little too strong?"

Xiao Jia Yu laughed as she asked, "Could it be that you don't need to be so forceful in regards to Luo Qing Ran's matter?"

Although the two of them seemed to have different personalities, there were some things in their bones that were completely the same.

In the blink of an eye, it was already the weekend again. In the afternoon, Xiao Jia Yu had just finished practicing yoga at home and was about to take a shower when her phone rang. Seeing that it was Mu Chen, who hadn't been in contact for a week, she sat down cross-legged on the yoga mat and picked up the phone.

"Director Mu, Boss, it's a busy man. May I ask what you need from me?" Xiao Jia Yu deliberately asked coquettishly.

Mu Chen laughed and replied, "I've been really busy recently. I need to record the program next week, so I need to finish some work in advance."

Xiao Jia Yu smiled and asked: "Since you're so busy, why did you call me now?"

Mu Chen quickly replied, "Tonight is the premiere of 'Love is Together'. I'll come to your house later. Let's have a meal together before watching the show."

Xiao Jia Yu thought for a moment and said, "But I don't have much ingredients at home. If you want to come over, I'll go out and buy some food. I also want to buy some snacks as well. We can watch TV tonight."

Mu Chen hurriedly stopped him, "No need to go through all that trouble, I just happened to have some matters to take care of in the hotel today. I'll come over directly and pack a few dishes from here. As for snacks, just wait till I go to the supermarket near your home to buy some.

Xiao Jia Yu quickly responded, hung up the phone and went into the bathroom.

Mu Chen had come in the evening. Xiao Jia Yu's food had just been cooked and she was sitting on the balcony watching the sunset in boredom. She would not admit that she wanted to see Mu Chen as soon as possible.

When Mu Chen arrived at the entrance of Xiao Jia Yu's room, he saw that the door was ajar, so he pushed it open and entered. He placed the packed dishes on the tea table, and seeing Xiao Jia Yu sleeping on the living room chair, he walked to her side and asked: "You saw me coming, so you opened the door ahead of time?"

Xiao Jia Yu raised her eyes to look at him and said: "I did not see you here in advance. I had already left the door ajar, I did not want to hear the doorbell and go in to open the door."

Mu Chen pinched her face. "Are you that lazy? "I can see that your body flesh seems to have increased a lot recently."

Xiao Jia Yu stared at him. "I don't believe you. I look at my weight on the scale every day. Recently, I even lost two pounds from recording."

Mu Chen took one of her hands and pulled her up from the recliner. "If you're really skinny, then hurry up and eat something. It'll be very stressful for you to record programs together with me." He picked her up, then turned and walked back into the living room.

Xiao Jiayu stood behind him and agreed, "Recording with you is indeed very stressful. Go out and ask the others, which one is recording with the boss every day?"

Mu Chen turned around and looked at her, "Don't tell me Shen Feng is here, I'm your boyfriend now."

Xiao Jia Yu uncertainly asked: "Mu Chen, did you really get into the show too deeply?"

Mu Chen looked at her, and then suddenly closed his eyes in exhaustion, sighing with emotion, "I think if I say a few more words to you, you'll be the one to die from anger sooner or later."

Xiao Jiayi was very puzzled by her strange words. In the blink of an eye, he had picked up a few dishes and was walking into the kitchen. She hurriedly followed him in.

Seeing that she was standing beside him, Mu Chen finally said: "These dishes are hot food, I'm afraid that it would be a little cold during the trip, so I decided to warm it first. The rest of the dishes that are still on the tea table are cold food, we'll eat them later." When he saw that she was still in a daze, he nudged her with his elbow and said, "Don't just stand there. Go and bring the food."

Xiao Jia Yu hurriedly came back to his senses and found a bowl of rice to fill his stomach.

After the two of them finished eating, Mu Chen took the initiative to wash the dishes. Xiao Jia Yu, on the other hand, was enjoying her meal as she sat on the sofa and browsed through Weibo.

The broadcast of "Let's Love" was about to begin in two hours. The discussion on Weibo was also gradually increasing. Just like what Xing Jiajuan had told Xiao Jia Yu earlier, this program did have a very high level of attention in the country. At this moment, the program team only had a few shots of the guest's back and not very clear view. They let everyone guess who the person in the photo was and treated it as if it was the broadcast.

Xiao Jia Yu recognized Shen Feng and Jiang Qing at a glance. Shen Feng was too familiar to her, and Jiang Qing was too tall and had a good figure. With a single glance, she could tell that she was a professional model. As for her, she was the photo that was taken from afar when she was blindfolded on the first day of recording. Mu Chen was even funnier. There was no one in his picture, it was their cat. When Xiao Jia Yu saw this photo, she couldn't help but cover her stomach and laugh.

Mu Chen was just finishing his work in the kitchen when he heard her laugh. He walked a few steps and sat down beside her, just in time to see the photo of him on the tablet.

Seeing him sit beside her, Xiao Jia Yu couldn't help but point at him and laugh: "Mu Chen, how shabby are you? You're not even willing to put a photo of yourself in the program team, but your cat is indeed cuter than you." She even meowed twice.

Mu Chen suddenly approached her, grabbed the tablet in her hand and threw it to the side. He asked with an evil smile, "Who did you just say looks shabby?"

Xiao Jia Yu saw that he was getting closer to her as he spoke and felt that he was in danger. He subconsciously retreated, but even so, he still bent down to face her face to face. Soon she was lying flat on the sofa, his tall figure over her.

Xiao Jia Yu felt her breathing becoming more and more hurried and her heartbeat becoming faster and faster. She extended her hand to support Mu Chen's chest, giving the two of them a safe distance, she asked with a fawning smile: "Didn't you always not like others saying you were good-looking?"

Mu Chen used one hand to support her ear, while the other hand seemed to not use much strength to pull away the hand she placed on his chest. He moved closer to her and asked: "Did you see what I look like?"

Xiao Jia Yu felt as though her face was burning red. She sighed and frowned: "Mu Chen, stop joking, I'm scared."

However, Mu Chen suddenly moved closer to her. When she subconsciously closed her eyes, thinking that he was going to kiss her, she discovered that he only reached out his hand to grab her shoulder and sat up.

After experiencing such an incident, Xiao Jia Yu still felt that his face and heart were not like hers. He then found a tablet and complained, "Right now, I'd rather go back with you to just get to know you. I never thought you were some kind of old driver or flirting expert."

Of course Mu Chen could hear her words. He deliberately asked with a cold expression, "Do you want to play again?"

Xiao Jia Yu hurriedly shook her head and deliberately sat further away from him.

Mu Chen couldn't hold back his laughter. He pretended to watch the TV seriously.

Xiao Jiayi saw that he was watching the news the whole time, so she treated him as respect. She also didn't play a flat board with him and followed him to watch TV. However, she soon felt drowsy, and did indeed fall asleep at some point in time.

After Mu Chen found out that there was still an hour before the program started, he made her sleep. He got up and went to her bedroom to find a blanket, but found the bright red underwear that she casually threw on the bed. He looked at her several times, thinking that her figure was not as bad as he had first thought, and his lips curled into a smile. He took the blanket and went out.

Mu Chen covered Xiao Jia Yu's head with the blanket and continued to watch the news. However, he felt that it was getting harder and harder to concentrate, especially since someone was leaning on his shoulder at some point in time. He discovered that when he was with Xiao Jiayu, he was really smiling most of the time. The silly girl didn't think that his shoulder was hard enough to actually lean on for so long. As he thought this, the smile on his face continued to deepen.

When it was nine o'clock in the evening, Mu Chen saw that Xiao Jia Yu was still not awake yet and secretly called out: "Little Pig." Then he raised his hand and patted her face a few times to wake her up.

Xiao Jia Yu vaguely woke up, and did not care too much about how she leaned on Mu Chen's body to sleep. However, when she felt the pain in her neck, she complained to him: "You took advantage of me sleeping and taking advantage of me, so you must have purposely let me lean on your body to sleep."

Mu Chen switched the channel to the Star TV channel that they wanted to watch. He ignored her and said, "You took advantage of me and now you're blaming me. I really have died in injustice."

Xiao Jia Yu purposely said stubbornly: "I think that even if I did that on purpose, you're still secretly rejoicing in your heart."

She had only said those words for face, she didn't expect Mu Chen to seriously ask her: "How do you know?"

Xiao Jiayi: "…" Did he really get into the show too deeply? Stop flirting, okay?

Mu Chen took the snacks he had just bought and put them on the tea table. Then, he opened two bags and handed them to Xiao Jia Yu. At this moment, the program also started.

The title of the show was an animated film using the comics of the few of them. This time, three pairs of guests, one male and the other female, were recorded. Other than Xiao Jia Yu and Mu Chen, Shen Feng and Jiang Qing, the remaining pair were An De Qiu and Cheng Lan. He was also the male lead of a few domestic movies, which earned him a lot of money. He could be considered a frequent guest of this type of show, but this was the first time the other five people had participated in a reality show like this. Honestly speaking, Xiao Jiayu and Mu Chen were the ones with the lowest fame. However, their online topics were getting more and more heated, and they could be considered as people living in the Second Dimension.
