The system didn't understand. What was so special about those worn-out clothes that they had to be shown to the host?

So, the system always thought Yu Muqiu was a little odd!

No, it needed to observe him more!

The next day, Yu Qianxia arrived at the set of Director Zhang's The Legend of Yan Yue as scheduled for her audition.

The audition went smoothly because Director Zhang had been following the variety show and especially admired Yu Qianxia's acting after watching the episode where the guests performed freely.

Now, seeing her audition live, he recognized her talent and immediately cast her as the lead female role.

The Legend of Yan Yue was a palace drama centered on the growth and transformation of the female lead, with the romance between her and the male lead playing a crucial part.

However, the male lead for the show was still missing, and Director Zhang was worried. The male lead needed to be not only good-looking and charismatic but also have chemistry with Yu Qianxia and top-notch acting sk**ls. Otherwise, the drama wouldn't work, and the entire production would fall apart.

Director Zhang had already gone through all the talented actors in the industry, but he hadn't found anyone suitable.

Either their acting was poor, but their looks were great.

Or they had good looks, but their acting was terrible.

Why couldn't they just find a male actor who was perfect in every way?

At this moment, the assistant asked, "Director, have you considered one person?"

Director Zhang immediately asked, "Who?"

"Yu Muqiu," the assistant said.

Director Zhang furrowed his brows in thought. "His acting is really good, and his looks fit what I want. He even won the Best Actor award with his first film, but..."

The assistant asked, "But what?"

Director Zhang sighed deeply. "But Yu Muqiu only entered the entertainment industry on a whim. He never really intended to settle down in it. I've heard that he plans to quit the industry and go home to inherit his family business. Even if I personally invite him, he won't come..."

As soon as he said this, both of them fell silent. Director Zhang's face was filled with frustration when suddenly someone knocked on the door and entered.

"Director Zhang, someone is here to see you."

"Who?"

"Yu Muqiu."

Director Zhang: "?"

After Yu Qianxia signed the contract with Director Zhang, she received the script. She locked herself in her apartment and went into "closed-door training" mode.

She spent over half a month this way, until Sister Rong called and told her to come to the set.

Yu Qianxia asked, "Has the male lead been confirmed?"

Sister Rong laughed, "Yeah, it's been decided. The lineup is impressive, you'll definitely be satisfied."

Yu Qianxia became curious, "Who is the male lead?"

Sister Rong's tone was teasing, with a hint of mockery. "Your childhood friend."

Yu Qianxia was stunned for a moment. The image of the man's dark eyes flashed in her mind, but they weren't cold, instead filled with a soft gentleness.

The filming location was at the B City Film Studio. Sister Rong and Xiao Ke came to pick her up, and Yu Qianxia took the company car, arriving in B City by the afternoon.

The opening ceremony was at the film studio. As soon as she walked in, she was immediately met with a deep gaze.

Yu Muqiu watched her approach and then spoke softly, "You're here."

Yu Qianxia extended her hand and smiled, "First time working together, please take care of me."

Yu Muqiu's gaze landed on her slender fingers, slowly reaching out to shake her hand. "Looking forward to working together."

Once the opening ceremony was over, the actors began shooting.

Yu Qianxia adapted quickly to her scenes. As for Yu Muqiu, whether he had received formal training or not, his acting was just as stunning. It was as if he was born to act. Working with him on the scenes, Yu Qianxia quickly immersed herself in the role.

Director Zhang was extremely satisfied with both the male and female leads and praised them enthusiastically on set.

After the morning scenes, everyone took a break.

The heavy costumes had made her back sweat, and Xiao Ke helped her take off the outer layer of her costume. Yu Qianxia finally let out a sigh of relief. Though shooting was tiring, she felt an incredible sense of fulfillment and satisfaction inside. She couldn't help but think, now she truly understood the feeling her mother must have had while filming. It felt great.

At lunchtime, Xiao Ke went to get the boxed lunch.

Yu Qianxia sat in the break room waiting. Not long after, there was a soft knock on the door.

Yu Qianxia called out, "Come in."

Hearing footsteps that were different from the others, Yu Qianxia lifted her eyes. "What are you doing here?"

Yu Muqiu entered, holding a bag of food. "I brought you lunch."

"Huh?" Yu Qianxia was puzzled.

Yu Muqiu took the food out of the box, and Yu Qianxia recognized the restaurant. It was a famous Chinese restaurant in Jing City, with a branch in A City as well. The food was always fresh and delicious, exactly to her taste, and it had been her favorite Chinese restaurant for a long time.

"Grandma was worried that you wouldn't like the crew's boxed lunch, so she specially ordered six months' worth of meals from Pinwei Xuan. Don't decline her kindness," Yu Muqiu explained in a calm tone.

Yu Qianxia's heart warmed. Grandma Yu truly treated her like family. Every time she went back for holidays, Grandma would send her food and drinks, and always asked her if she was doing well while living outside.

Yu Qianxia kept all these little moments in her heart, thinking that she would repay Grandma Yu with even more filial piety in the future. She picked up her chopsticks, smiled, and said, "Please thank Grandma for me. I'll visit her when I go back."

Yu Muqiu lowered his gaze and responded with a faint "Mm."

The two ate quietly, and halfway through, Xiao Ke came in, but when she saw her artist enjoying a luxurious lunch, she silently stepped back.

The system, observing everything, mumbled to itself: What's this?! This lunch was obviously ordered by Yu Muqiu himself, what does Grandma Yu have to do with it?

Using Grandma Yu as an excuse to deliver food to the host?

The system grew more suspicious about Yu Muqiu but checked the meal to confirm there was no poison.

Could it be that he was just concerned that the host might not like the crew's boxed lunch? Then why not just say it out loud?
