COLD CEO AND ARROGANT WIFE, VOLUME 3 - Season 6 Episode 20

Hyson was yawning while waiting for his scene. Since he was the most inexperienced actor on the crew, he had been spending every day on the set even if he had a scene or not to shoot. Obviously, since he had taken this role, he had to put in his effort. He had never been the halfhearted kind of a person, to begin with.

Today, they had started shooting at 3 in the morning. That’s why he was feeling so tired. He didn’t even get to sleep for more than a couple of hours.

“Here, have some coffee.”

Hyson looked at the cup of coffee that appeared before him and then followed the arm to the face of the person. He smiled at her and said, “Thanks.”

He Rou’s eyes sparkled when she looked at his smile. He was so adorable when he smiled that she wanted to pinch his face. But she had to hold herself back. In fact, her first impression of him was that he looked like a conceited prince. He had a noble aura about him that couldn’t be ignored. But there was a twinkle of mischief in his eyes as well.

However, now that she got to work with him closely she seemed to have gotten a whole new understanding of him. It was only now she learned of his duality. He was adorable at times and gave off a hard to approach vibe at times. It was hard for her to figure him out.

The good thing was that he always had an inviting smile towards her. And she knew it had more to do with her boyfriend, Pei Zi Hong than his impression of her. If it had just been for her, he’d have been as polite, formal, and a bit distant from her as he was with other actors on the crew. It wasn’t that he didn’t interact with them. He was always sweet and polite to everyone. Even the staff on the crew only had good things to say about him.

However, he just didn’t try to mingle with others enthusiastically or try to network. He was happy being on his own self.

Hyson took a sip of the coffee and his face twisted in amusing shapes. He didn’t spit it out but it took him a while to swallow that sip. “It’s black coffee,” he said bitterly.

He Rou almost squished him when he did that. “Yeah, it’s black coffee. It’ll wake you up.”

“But I don’t like black coffee,” he muttered.

She had a troubled expression on her face, “Oh? I didn’t know that. How about you throw it away and I’ll get you a new one?”

Hyson shook his head, “Forget it. Let’s not be wasteful.” Even though he didn’t like this bitter taste of coffee, he still wasn’t willing to throw it away either. First, it was brought by He Rou. He couldn’t just be disrespectful to her. This cup of coffee showed her sincere feelings. Second, he had never been taught to waste food. He just couldn’t bring himself to do it.

“But you clearly don’t like it,” He Rou pointed out as if she had to remind him.

Hyson shrugged, “Life isn’t always our cup of tea. But does it ever stop us from enjoying it? I don’t think so.”

He Rou was taken aback by his words. It was a simple statement but when she thought about it, she seemed to have understood a deeper meaning. And that made her look at him in a new light.

Hyson didn’t notice her reaction as he willed himself before just drinking the black coffee. He kept repeating in his head, ‘It’s sweet. Very sweet. Sweet. Definitely sweet! Just drink it!’

“Oh, did you hear?”

“Hm?”

“There is a scene change for today. We’ll be shooting scene no. 35 today.”

Hyson nodded his head nonchalantly.

“You know which scene that is?” she asked.

Hyson shook his head, “No, is it my scene?”

“It is,” she replied and grinned. “Actually, it’s our scene.”

“Ours?” Hyson raised his brows.

“Yup!”

“What’s with that grin on your face?”

“It’s a kiss scene!”

Hyson stiffened when he heard that and his eyes widened in shock. He shook his head, “No, there was no such scene in the script. I mean yes, there was a kiss in the book but there wasn’t one in the script!”

“Teacher Sora revised the script a little. It seems you didn’t check the details in the new version,” said He Rou. Noticing how he wasn’t reacting, she frowned, “Don’t tell me, you actually don’t want to kiss me?”

“Is this really something you should be asking me?” asked Hyson with his brows raised up.

“I only said it because you look unwilling right now,” said He Rou. “Is it because I’m Pei Zi Hong’s girlfriend?” She had lowered her voice when she asked that question.

Hyson sighed out, “Considering how I call him Zi Hong Ge, you’re my potential sister-in-law. Do you think I should feel happy about this situation?”

He Rou tsked at him, “Do you know how many people want to but can’t have this opportunity?”

“How about you throw this opportunity to someone else then?”

He Rou punched his arm lightly, “Aiyo, why are you thinking so much? It’s just acting. You know, acting! It’s not gonna be Fai kissing He Rou. It’s more like our characters kissing each other.”

“It’s the same to me,” he replied.

“For acting, you have to forget that you’re Fai.”

“I understand that point but that does not mean my brain is gonna allow me to kiss you.”

“Wow! You’re stubborn!”

“You have seen nothing yet,” was Hyson’s response as he frowned to himself in deep thought. He definitely didn’t want to have this kiss with his potential sister-in-law. It sounded horrible even in his head! So what if it was acting? How was he supposed to convince his little brain of that concept?

Even if made him seem unprofessional, he was still not able to convince his mind.
