Chapter 106: Script

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Mu Zhou leaned against the wall with his eyes on Yuan Shu. He hid his hand by his side and tried his best to stop trembling, but he still couldn’t stop trembling when he heard the name “Yuan Shu”.

After a while, he finally took a deep breath and returned to normal.

He smiled at Yuan Shu and asked, “Are you a female celebrity? Why haven’t I ever seen you on television?”

Yuan Shu shook her head. She wasn’t used to sitting down after standing for so long, so she adjusted her sitting posture slightly and said, “I’m not in the entertainment industry, but my brother is the male lead of ‘Gunshot’. I accompanied him here today.”

After Mu Zhou thought about it carefully, he asked, “Shen Lu? Shen Lu is your brother? Then… the man in the hat and sunglasses who went to Lakeside Park with you that day was him?”

There was a gentle smile on Yuan Shu’s lips. She didn’t know why, but she felt so relaxed and comfortable when talking to Mu Zhou.

She replied, “Yes. He needs to… disguise himself before he can go out in public.”

Yuan Shu paused for a moment, as if she was thinking of a suitable word.

Mu Zhou nodded and quickly asked, “Then why is his surname Shen and yours Yuan?” Perhaps realizing his abruptness, Mu Zhou tugged at the corner of his shirt awkwardly. He was acting completely differently from how he behaved at Lakeside Park. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to probe… I… I was just a little curious.”

Yuan Shu shook her head and said, “It’s fine. You might not know since you just returned to the country. This isn’t a secret. I’m his sister-in-law, so our surnames are different.”

Mu Zhou was obviously disappointed, but he quickly perked up again. “I didn’t expect you to get married at such a young age. I thought…”

However, Mu Zhou didn’t finish his sentence. Instead, he quickly changed the topic. “Don’t you have any plans to enter the entertainment industry? You’re so beautiful, so if you enter the entertainment industry, you’ll definitely become very famous!”

Yuan Shu had heard too many people praise her for her beauty. She had also heard even more exaggerated praise, but only the simple word “beautiful” made her feel a sense of sincerity. It was the kind of praise that was heartfelt.

“Actually, I don’t know much about this industry, so I don’t think I’ll be involved in the entertainment industry.”

Mu Zhou was a little disappointed. Then, he said seriously, “Actually, I learned about a script recently. I haven’t thought of a female celebrity suitable for the female lead, but when I saw you today, I felt as if I was seeing the female lead in the script in real life.”

As Yuan Shu looked into Mu Zhou’s clear and bright brown eyes, she saw that there was sincerity in his eyes, which seemed so familiar yet unfamiliar. Yuan Shu couldn’t tell what this contradictory feeling was.

She couldn’t help but recall the origin of his name. “Qingzhou has passed the Ten Thousand Mountains”… But how could someone with such a name have play such ancient and sorrowful zither music?

“Yuan Shu?” Seeing that Yuan Shu was in a daze, Mu Zhou suddenly called out to her.

Yuan Shu suddenly came back to her senses and looked at him apologetically. “Sorry, what did you just say?”

“I said there’s a script. I think you’re very suitable for the female lead role.”

“Oh really? What kind of script is it?” Actually, Yuan Shu wasn’t very curious, but she wasn’t in the mood to deal with Mu Zhou’s conversation now, so she could only ask him what kind of story it was to give herself time to calm down.

Mu Zhou said, “It’s a story that happened in ancient times. It’s about the daughter of a general and a top scholar.”

Yuan Shu felt her heart skip a beat and was overwhelmed by a mixture of emotions.

Mu Zhou continued, “The daughter of this general was intelligent and talented. Be it in terms of literature or martial arts, she was far more talented than men. Not only did such a woman receive the love of her parents, but she also received the adoration of the emperor and the empress dowager in the court. She was even conferred the title of princess the year she reached marriageable age.”

“As for this scholar, he was just a nameless pawn in the military camp. When he was ten years old, because his family was poor, he was forced to seek refuge with a nutritionist in the army. Then, he got to know this princess and that set off a series of developments.”

Yuan Shu suddenly stopped him with an awkward expression. “Mu Zhou, I’m a little thirsty. Can I trouble you to get me a cup of tea?”

Mu Zhou froze. Then, he nodded and went to ask the waiter for tea..
