Chapter 73

Just after Yang Yang was scolded for asking for leave, Zhou Jin could only bite the bullet and walk up, saying: "Director Su, I might have to ask you for leave for these few days. Director Deng Chao wants me to spare three days to cooperate with the promotion of the movie *Breakup Master*."

Su Youpeng frowned subconsciously and fell into deep thought.

If the person standing in front of him at this moment was a newcomer who had just started and had mediocre acting skills, he, who had just finished getting angry, would definitely refuse without mercy, and even reprimand him along the way.

However, the person speaking in front of him is Zhou Jin.

Su Youpeng looked up, his originally serious expression softened, and beyond everyone's expectations, he nodded very readily: "Alright, you go."

In fact, the filming progress since the opening of *The Left Ear* far exceeded Su Youpeng's initial expectations.

And the greatest credit for this all lies with Zhou Jin.

Zhou Jin's acting skills are impeccable, every time he can accurately give the lens language he wants, and his professional attitude is simply perfect.

To tell the truth, if it weren't for the other young actors in the crew frequently NG-ing, seriously dragging down the filming progress, just counting Zhou Jin's personal scenes, it should have been finished long ago.

Hearing the director release him so readily, Zhou Jin secretly breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him sincerely: "Thank you, Director Su, for your understanding."

After asking for leave, Zhou Jin returned to the actors' rest area.

Looking at Chen Duling, Guan Xiaotong, and Ma Sichun, who were sitting together practicing the script, he said casually: "Tomorrow, the day after, and the day after that, I'm asking for leave for these three days, I won't be in the crew."

"Ah? Why ask for leave suddenly?" Guan Xiaotong is an impatient person and immediately leaned over curiously.

Zhou Jin answered truthfully: "Going to another place to run a roadshow to promote a movie."

As soon as this was said, several people were taken aback.

"What movie?" Chen Duling also put down the script in her hand and looked over suspiciously.

"*Breakup Master*, a play led and starred in by Deng Chao." Zhou Jin said.

A flash of surprise flickered in their eyes again.

Chen Duling couldn't help but ask: "Are you playing the second or third male lead in it? Generally, for movie roadshow promotion, it has to be a very important lead to follow along."

"Male lead."

With this, the rest area went quiet instantly, and several people opened their mouths in shock.

Most people in the crew only knew that Zhou Jin was incredibly popular now because of Senior Brother in the drama *Swords of Legends*, but they didn't know at all that he had quietly participated in a movie theater blockbuster.

Not only participated, but was actually the male lead carrying the beam!

Guan Xiaotong swallowed, looked at Zhou Jin with eyes full of gossip and curiosity, and couldn't wait to ask: "Then... who is the female lead of this movie?"

"Uh, Sister Mi."

As soon as the words fell, Guan Xiaotong, Chen Duling, and others all gasped.

Yang Mi is too popular now.

Although her acting skills are average, every drama she films is a phenomenal one.

It can almost be called the most discussed female star in the domestic entertainment industry.

They didn't expect that the female lead of Zhou Jin's movie would be Yang Mi.

After all, he had to ask for three days of leave to run movie promotion, so to try not to drag down the crew's progress, Zhou Jin's scenes were arranged very full today, and he didn't finish work until late at night.

When he swiped his room card to open the door, he found that Yang Mi hadn't rested, but had already changed into a capable formal suit.

She was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window talking on the phone, her beautiful brows slightly furrowed, her expression revealing a bit of anxiety.

A packed suitcase was placed on the ground to the side.

Hearing the movement of opening the door, Yang Mi hurriedly explained two sentences and hung up the phone.

She looked at Zhou Jin curiously: "Why did you get back so late today?"

"Super Brother called me and asked me to spare three days to accompany him to run the promotion for *Breakup Master*. So I asked Director Su for leave, and to catch up on progress, I filmed a few more night scenes today. Sister Mi, are you... having an emergency and leaving overnight?"

Yang Mi's gaze flickered slightly, and after pondering for a moment, she said in a calm tone: "There's nothing particularly important."

Zhou Jin sighed secretly.

Yang Mi has been struggling in the industry for so many years, how smart and transparent she is, how could she not guess the subtext in his words?

She must have already guessed that Deng Chao couldn't get through her door, so he entrusted himself to be this lobbyist, hoping she could go help stand for the promotion.

With Yang Mi's current popularity of exploding on the whole internet with *Swords of Legends*, there's no need to think, her schedule must have been full long ago.

That anxious phone call just now was nine times out of ten because of tricky work.

But since she chose not to point it out, Zhou Jin simply said: "Sister Mi, Super Brother said, if you have time recently, he wants to invite you to go run the movie promotion together."

Yang Mi looked at Zhou Jin, a flash of softness in her eyes, nodded lightly, and agreed without hesitation: "Okay, the promotion starts tomorrow, right? Then I'll have my assistant book our flight for tomorrow morning later."

Zhou Jin's heart warmed slightly.

He took two steps forward to Yang Mi's side, reached out to gently embrace her waist that could be held in one hand yet was plump and soft, and whispered in her ear:

"Thank you, Sister Mi."

Yang Mi took the opportunity to rest her hands on Zhou Jin's broad shoulders, looked up slightly, and looked at him with her seductive fox eyes with a half-smile:

"Between the two of us, is there any need to say these polite words?"

Zhou Jin didn't speak anymore, but lowered his head, kissing her smooth and fair cheeks in a fragmented way like a dragonfly skimming the water.

Yang Mi closed her eyes obediently, leaning softly in Zhou Jin's broad and warm arms, enjoying this moment of tenderness.

Not long after, Zhou Jin's hand probed in along the hem of her clothes restlessly.

Because she originally planned to rush back overnight to handle work, Yang Mi was wearing an extremely slim and decent formal shirt and a hip-hugging skirt.

Zhou Jin just habitually prepared to use force, but Yang Mi suddenly opened her eyes and pressed down on his big hand that was making trouble.

She gave Zhou Jin a coquettish glare, her red lips panting: "Be gentle, don't tear... this is the only piece of clothing I brought this time."

"Okay." Zhou Jin chuckled.

He calmed down and stripped off the formal suit on Yang Mi one by one with gentle yet extremely skillful movements.

Afterwards, Zhou Jin hugged this hot body horizontally and threw her onto the soft bed without ceremony.

An hour later.

Zhou Jin leaned against the head of the bed, taking the opportunity to embrace Yang Mi's smooth and fair shoulders into his arms.

In Yang Mi's seductive fox eyes, there was a hint of hard-to-hide satisfaction and exhaustion.

Zhou Jin leaned into her ear and whispered tentatively: "Sister Mi... is it okay?"

Yang Mi turned back and glared at him fiercely.

With the strength in her bones, she was naturally reluctant to lower her status to do that kind of thing, but she loved this man in front of her too much.

Just as her heart softened and she was about to compromise, Nazha, who lived next door, suddenly flashed in her mind.

"Go, get my phone."

Zhou Jin was stunned for a moment, and an absurd thought flashed through his mind: "Sister Mi, you wouldn't be wanting to film a video, right?"

Yang Mi gave him a glare: "Are you crazy?"

After taking the phone, Yang Mi deliberately turned her body away from Zhou Jin's sight and secretly sent a WeChat message to Nazha: 【I've already gone, you come over.】

Zhou Jin watched her actions and asked curiously: "Who are you messaging?"

A flash of cunning smile flashed in Yang Mi's eyes: "Secret, you'll know in a while."

On the other side, Nazha, who lived next door, saw the WeChat message, and her eyes lit up instantly.

She had thought Yang Mi would fly away from Hengdian overnight, and seeing this message made her even more excited.

Hehe, the Big Boss finally left, tonight Brother Jin is mine alone again!

Nazha immediately excitedly took the spare room card and quietly swiped open Zhou Jin's room door.

As soon as she entered the room, she smelled a special and ambiguous scent permeating the air.

She walked a few steps inside suspiciously, but when she looked up, her whole body froze in place instantly.

Looking at Zhou Jin and Yang Mi lying on the bed together, Nazha was completely stunned, her beautiful big eyes widened into circles: "This, this, this, this... what is the situation?"

Zhou Jin was also taken aback, but immediately reacted and guessed that it was Yang Mi playing tricks.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It still has to be Sister Mi, she knows how to play too well.

Yang Mi lazily raised her eyelids, glanced at Nazha, and said in a flat tone, beating her: "Didn't you want to form an alliance with Reba before and cooperate to deal with me?"

Being exposed on the spot, Nazha felt guilty instantly, stammering for a long time without being able to say a word.

Yang Mi pulled the quilt over slowly, covering her smooth and hot body, and said lazily:

"Tomorrow morning, Zhou Jin and I are flying to Yanjing to promote the movie, tonight, he will be temporarily left to you."
