The role played by Mo Shaoqing in this drama was called Zheng Yanxi. Since his parents were both university professors, that's why he was named "sincere men need not speak much, yet a path was formed beneath them". The heroine Shen Qiongshi was played by a newcomer who just graduated from college, her name is Xia Xiaogu.
(TN: The name of Yanxi can be translated as deter-mined words, hence the meaning of the name, "sincere men need not speak much, yet a path was formed beneath them".)

It's different from the traditional school drama in which the high achievers fell in love with the low achievers, the male and female protagonists of "Progressive Youth" were all set for students with excellent grades, and the secondary CP was also a female student with high grades and male student with low grades, which could be said that it's against the routine of many romance novels.

There was no such thing as a man chasing a woman or a woman chasing a man in "Progressive Youth", everything was gradual, from the youth of high school to college, bit by bit, drop by drop, and finally a romantic story in which the hero and heroine got married.

The male protagonist was not a cruel prince, and the female protagonist was not a silly and sweet Mary Su, which was one of the main reasons why Mo Shaoqing chose this script.

Time was advancing to December, and the major companies were about to have their annual meetings. The director did not drag them to continue filming, but gave them the New Year's Day holiday.

Mo Shaoqing happened to be going to a banquet, so he could only call back and say that he couldn't go back to eat this year. Although Mr. Mo and Mrs. Mo expressed disappointment, it's understandable.

After hanging up the phone, Mo Shaoqing stuck out his tongue secretly. For the first time, he lied to his parents for not going home for the holiday with his lover. He doesn't know why he's got this puppy love thing about getting caught.

A week before the banquet, Mo Shaoqing called You Tianling and asked him if he would like to attend the banquet with him. You Tianling, who was worried about the future, naturally agreed readily.

On December 30, Ling Senhao flew from Y City to the Imperial Capital, and Mo Shaoqing finally started the long-awaited New Year's Day holiday.

Imperial International Airport

As soon as Ling Senhao passed the security check, he saw a familiar figure from a distance, wore a coat, hunched over, wore a mask and sunglasses. It's estimated that passersby would never guess that under this vulgar appearance was the now popular artist Mo Shaoqing.

Ling Senhao looked at him funny, "Is it that cold?"

Mo Shaoqing: "I just came here. The plane is on time. It's cold outside. It's minus zero today."

Ling Senhao felt a little distressed, "Then don't come here, just let the driver pick me up."

"It's still warm in the airport, and I don't even want to go out."

"Are you sure? I'll take you somewhere in a while!"

"What place? Hotel? Restaurant?" Mo Shaoqing laughed when he said that, who asked Mr. Ling to do this trick!

"None of them." Ling Senhao emphasized, "It's my home, my only house in the Imperial Capital. How about we celebrate there this year?"

"Okay! Okay!" Mo Shaoqing was aroused.

As soon as he got in the car, Ling Senhao was about to start a small video conference. It was also the first time that Mo Shaoqing held a meeting directly with Ling Senhao, and felt the busyness of being a president.

Mo Shaoqing sat far away for fear of being photographed.

So when Ling Senhao finished his meeting, he saw Mo Shaoqing crouching in the corner of the car and frowned, "Why did you sit so far?"

"You are busy. Is the meeting finished?"

Ling Senhao massaged his temples, "Fortunately, I have to finish all the work at hand today so that I can rest during the holidays."

"It's hard work." Mo Shaoqing stepped forward to take Ling Senhao's hand, helped him lie down, rested his head on his lap, and massaged him.

"Then... I'll discuss something with you."

"Hm?" Ling Senhao closed his eyes and enjoyed his lover's massage.

"I hope you can help me take someone to the banquet."

"Who? Man or woman?" Ling Senhao opened his eyes keenly, he sensed the unusualness of this person.

Mo Shaoqing thought it was funny, "Why do you look like this, it's man, don't worry!"

Ling Senhao: *...why do I feel not comforted.*

"He is my senior. I met him when I was a freshman. Although we got together less often after his debut, we have always had a good relationship. He also brought me into the circle. My first work was also introduced by him." Mo Shaoqing rambled a lot.

"Recently, I feel very strange, senior is quite famous, but has no representative work, nor does he appear in big-budget movies and TV series. Instead, it's just some ordinary TV series for others as supporting roles, and there is no tendency to develop into other circles. Inexplicable exposure is also less, so I want to help him."

"All right, but I'll only take him in. It's up to him to do exactly what he does. When the time comes, you remember to come to me and I'll introduce you to some friends."

"Okay!" Mo Shaoqing replied in a low voice.

Slow light music was flowing in the car, and there was tenderness flowing between the two people.

The car gradually drove into the outskirts of another district, and the area of luxury villas came into view. This area was famous for rich people in the Imperial Capital. Mo Shaoqing guessed in his heart, where would the president of Xingyang Entertainment live? Could it be a big manor or something?

Because of this speculation, Mo Shaoqing had been building his heart along the way, tried not to show the expression of Granny Liu visited the Grand View Garden and the rural people went to the city.
(TN: A character in the 18th century Chinese novel Dream of the Red Chamber. Refers to an elderly country rustic who visits the noble family who plays host to her, but which also makes fun of her openly for her simplicit. Granny Liu is, however, grateful for their generosity. The expression is used in modern Chinese to describe someone, usually simple and unsophisticated, who is overwhelmed by new experiences and luxurious surroundings.)

But Mo Shaoqing was still stunned when he saw this house.

This was completely an ordinary small western-style building!

Well, it's not ordinary, it's just a little bigger than the average villa garden, the house was a little more refined, the location was a little more remote, and it's more like a small manor...
