The next shootings went smoothly. After Zhou Jianchen had let go, all his scenes were easily grasped. Liang Yin is naturally impeccable too. She would restrain when it should be Zhou Jianchen’s scenes and exert subtle effect whenever it ought to be her scenes like the sudden clap of thunder in a noiseless place. At first everyone marveled at Zhou Jianchen’s performance, but later, the crowd was drawn by her acting skills.

The cinematographer was so in love with Liang Yin’s face that he would keep close-ups of every frown and every smile, which even just a look-up could be used as posters and the shootings were really pleasing to the eyes. Liang Yin has indeed a characteristic face that can stand out no matter how close-up it is.

When the filming ended in the evening, two complete costar scenes had been shot.

“Want to go eat for supper?” Du Yafu began to shout out again. He is a person who likes liveliness.

“No.” Liang Yin turned around to decline. She had changed into her own clothes but still felt a little cold. She was used to dressing thinly and even after she had changed now, it was only a woolen sweater and a pair of woolen pants.

Glancing at her, Zhou Jianchen did not decline.

The group of people then left separately while Liang Yin returned to the hotel in Xiao Tian’s car.

“Sister Yin, if you want anything to eat, I’ll go buy it.” Xiao Tian asked again once she brought the things back to the room.

“No need. You go do your own thing.” She had already eaten a boxed meal on the set just now.

She is not picky about her meals and doesn’t like to bother others. She often ate boxed meals with the crews previously.

“But … “ Xiao Tian was somewhat troubled. Liang Yin had indeed eaten dinner, but at that time, Director Chen was busy wrapping up, so she merely took a few bites.

“It’s okay. I’m not hungry.” Knowing what was on Xiao Tian’s mind, Liang Yin replied with a smile.

Xiao Tian felt a little helpless.

“You go back first. I’ll call you if I need something.” Liang Yin added.

Hearing that, Xiao Tian could only turn around and walk out. Although she has been with Liang Yin for a few days and is somewhat familiar with her, she after all is not close enough.

Once Xiao Tian left, Liang Yin removed her makeup and took a shower. By the time she came out, her hair was tied up and she had changed into other clothes. It was a light pink sweatshirt with a pair of leggings underneath which was warm and comfortable that the whole person appeared particularly youthful.

She didn’t go to bed immediately, but merely took the script to read it on the sofa.

It will be another highlight tomorrow.

Not knowing how long had passed when there was a sudden knock at the door.

Feeling somewhat surprised and wondering who else it would be at this time, Liang Yin went to the door and saw it was Zhou Jianchen.

""

Liang Yin felt a little puzzled, but she still opened the door. She remembered that he had gone to eat just now.

Outside the door, Zhou Jianchen’s hands were full of things. Seeing her opening the door, he handed them over, “For you.”

Before Liang Yin could react, her hands were already full, “What?”

Zhou Jianchen didn’t answer. Once he had handed over the things, he just turned around and swiped his card to go back to his room.

Liang Yin was dazed and could only take the things back to her room. When she opened it, she froze on the spot again.

Inside those several bags, one was loaded with several packets of heating pads; one held a pair of pink snow boots while another contained a still boiling-hot seafood porridge.

A peculiar abrupt stirring roused in Liang Yin’s heart. She suddenly remembered Zhou Jianchen’s gaze swept over her legs more than once during daytime today.

The cellphone rang again soon, it was actually Zhou Jianchen who sent a text message.

“Drink the porridge while it’s hot.”

After a while, there was another one, “I remember you like seafood porridge.”

Looking at it, Liang Yin was startled for a moment.

She does indeed like seafood porridge, but she just didn’t know how he could remember.

It then suddenly occurred to her that many years ago when they went out for a dinner party, the director seemingly had said, “Give Liang Yin another portion of seafood porridge, she likes it.” He seemed to be present at that time.

“Thank you.” Liang Yin didn’t know what to say, hence merely returned this verse.

Pondering it for a while, she added, “How much are those shoes, I’ll pay you back.” She originally intended to buy a pair of snow boots too.

“No need.” The text message came back soon.

Knowing that he most likely wouldn’t want it, she still felt a little uneasy just taking it like this.

Yet Zhou Jianchen’s text message came again, “Does it fit?”

Liang Yin didn’t know how to answer.

Zhou Jianchen’s text message popped up again, “Try it. I’ll change it if it does not fit.”

Not knowing what to say, Liang Yin could only take the shoes out to try it on.

It wasn’t too big nor too small but just right.

“It fits very well.” Liang Yin replied.

“I asked the set’s staff.” Zhou Jianchen replied.

Liang Yin knew it.

“Is the color okay? Need to change it?” Zhou Jianchen asked again.

“No need.” Liang Yin replied hurriedly. “It’s fine.” Though she felt the pink was too pink at first.

“Wear it then. It’s cold on the set and you must keep warm.” Zhou Jianchen responded again.

“Paste the heating pads too. I’ve asked, most actresses do that and it won’t be visible during filming.”

“Okay.” Liang Yin really didn’t know what else to say anymore.

“Is your WeChat ID this cellphone number?” Zhou Jianchen asked again.

“No.” Liang Yin replied.

Zhou Jianchen however texted back, “My WeChat ID is my cellphone number, you can add me then.”

Looking at this text message for a long time, Liang Yin finally returned a “Okay.”

She does have WeChat which she rarely uses since she has been abroad.

Switching to WeChat, she logged in and added friends. A short while later, Zhou Jianchen’s message came again, “How’s this seafood porridge?”

“I haven’t eaten it yet.” Liang Yin replied.

She was dazed again after she had responded.

Her profile picture was a dog running, precisely the old Border collie that had passed away.

Liang Yin felt a stab of sudden pain in her heart.

“Hurry up and eat it then. It won’t taste good once it’s cold.” Zhou Jianchen answered back again.

Exiting her profile picture, Liang Yin responded with, “En.”

“Your profile picture is Victor, right. I remember it’s called that.” Zhou Jianchen, however, had seen her profile picture too.

“Yes.” She had once taken it to the shooting site.

“Is it okay? It should be pretty big now.” Zhou Jianchen asked.

“It died two month ago.” Liang Yin replied.

Zhou Jianchen was silent for a moment when he quickly said, “It is okay. You can always raise another one.”

“En.” Liang Yin responded, but she knew in her heart that she would never raise another one in this lifetime.

""

“I’m going to have the porridge.” Liang Yin didn’t want to continue this topic, hence she responded again.

“Okay.” Zhou Jianchen looked at it but there was no reply anymore.

In the room, after browsing through all the chat-records, a smile then revealed on Zhou Jianchen’s face.

On his table was also a portion of the seafood porridge which he hadn’t eaten yet. Opening it, it was still piping hot and tasted pretty good after he tried a mouthful.

Having nothing to do, he switched to Weibo.

His name once again trended on the hot search.

When Hua’en Studio announced the shooting of [Winter] in the morning, the internet went viral. Then ‘StarLight Media’ and ‘Zhou Jianchen Studio’ responded too, the fervor rose even more.

Zhou Jianchen browsed through a few randomly, there were actually congratulations for ‘getting what he wished-for’ and he couldn’t help smiling again.

There weren’t any bad comments and even if there was, Sister Shao most likely had long sorted it all out. Zhou Jianchen was in a very good mood.

After pondering it, he just turned his camera on and took a photo which he then posted on Weibo.

Zhou Jianchen: This shop’s porridge is pretty good.

Attached was a photo of the seafood porridge.

As soon as this was posted on Weibo, there were instantly countless comments.

– My god, if I’m not mistaken Brother Chen posted on Weibo again?

– I inexplicably feel that Brother Chen is in a good mood.

– So is it really because you got what you wished-for?

– Brother Chen, I’ll ask softly, can you post a picture of my goddess?

– Could it be that I am the only one who wants to know where this porridge shop is? It looks very tasty.

– …….

Looking at it, Zhou Jianchen’s mood was even better. Putting his phone aside, he just drank the porridge again.
