The only SSSS-level fertility constitution in the entire interstellar space

Even after returning to the rehearsal room, Lu Yao's mind was still buzzing.

"Sister Lu Yao, are you alright?" Su Qian leaned closer and asked cautiously, "Your face is so red, are you feeling unwell?"

Chen Yu also put down the script in his hand and looked over, his eyes filled with concern.

Lu Yao snapped back to her senses, raised her hand to touch her cheek, and found it was indeed shockingly hot.

She took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down: "N-no, it's okay, it's just a little hot. Let's continue."

She picked up the script and tried to focus her attention on the words in front of her.

But those printed words seemed to transform into Fu Ciyan's face.

"Sister Lu Yao?" Su Qian's voice came again, tinged with hesitation. "This line, the female lead's emotional shift, do you think this approach is acceptable?"

Lu Yao composed herself and forced herself to focus on the place Su Qian was pointing to.

It's a pivotal scene in the later part of the script, where Ling Mo finally confirms that Lu Qing isn't from their world and confesses his feelings. However, Lu Qing at the time only wanted to return to her original world and didn't want to have a deep relationship with the people here, so she rejected Ling Mo, even though she had already fallen for him.

"Su Qian, what kind of emotion do you think Lu Qing should be feeling here?" Lu Yao didn't give a direct answer, but instead asked in return.

Su Qian thought for a moment, then asked tentatively, "She must be very sad? But also very determined? After all, she likes Ling Mo, but has to reject him."

"She's definitely sad," Chen Yu continued, "but I think it's more of a struggle. It's not that she doesn't like it, it's that she's afraid to like it. So there's a sense of repression here, a feeling of 'loving but not daring to love.'"

Lu Yao nodded, then shook her head.

"We have these, but it's not enough." She pointed to Lu Qing's lines in the script.

Ling Mo, you're a good person, but I never imagined we'd have a future together.

Now that you've recovered and have your own career, it's time for you to leave. Don't waste your time on me; there are many things worth doing.

"Lu Qing left herself no room for maneuver. She is truly rejecting Ling Mo at this moment. She doesn't want to give Ling Mo hope, only to leave him in despair later." Lu Yao paused here, "She hopes that Ling Mo has something else to support his life besides liking her."

Su Qian was a little stunned as she listened, and looked down at the lines again.

Previously, she only thought that Lu Qing was cruelly rejecting her, but now she realized that there was another heavy meaning between the lines.

"So, she wasn't pushing him away," Su Qian murmured. "She was paving the way for him? Afraid that his life would collapse after she left?"

"Yes." Lu Yao nodded firmly, her fingertips lightly tracing the line on the script: "You should leave. Don't waste your time on me." She knew how persistent "Ling Mo" was, and that once she gave him hope, he might follow her recklessly. If she left one day, given "Ling Mo's" persistence, he would definitely not live alone. So she had to push him away and let him find a life that truly belonged to him, apart from her.

She paused, her voice lowering slightly: "Sometimes, the deepest love isn't about possession, but about letting go, about fulfilling someone's needs. It's that feeling of 'I love you, but I want you to be happy.'"

The rehearsal room was quiet for a moment.

Chen Yu sighed softly: "This is more painful than simply 'unrequited love.' The moment 'Lu Qing' rejected him, he had already foreseen the separation and was making plans for Ling Mo's life after the separation."

"Yes." Lu Yao looked at Su Qian, "So Lu Qing's emotions right now can't just be sadness, but also clarity. She knows what she's doing, and she also knows very well that pushing Ling Mo away is better than accepting him at this time."

Su Qian couldn't help but tear up: "What should I do? I feel like I've fallen in love with this character. Sister Lu Yao, how could you have thought of writing such a character? I really want to experience this kind of love, but it's almost impossible."

Under the current federal system, the chances of falling in love are not high.

Lu Yao looked at her with amusement: "If you can't experience it in real life, then experience it in the play."

After explaining the later character development of "Lu Qing" to Su Qian.

After she performed it once and I confirmed there were no problems, it was time to leave work.

Chen Yu said, "Thank you for your hard work these past two days, Ms. Lu Yao. Su Qian, take some time to reflect on it after you get back. Filming officially starts next week. I hope you won't get too much work done then."

"I know, I will definitely work hard and live up to such a good script, as well as the help from Teacher Chen Yu and Sister Lu Yao. I feel that I have benefited a lot these past two days. Thank you." Su Qian couldn't help but hug Lu Yao and Chen Yu.

Lu Yao changed her clothes and came out. She immediately saw Fu Ciyan standing outside. Her heart tightened slightly. She walked over with a guilty conscience and was about to speak.

Then Fu Ciyan handed her a cup of warm milk tea.

Lu Yao subconsciously reached out and took it, somewhat surprised, and asked, "You bought this?"

Fu Ciyan actually buys this kind of thing.

"I saw them all drinking it, so I just bought one when I saw them. Don't you like it?" he said, reaching for his hand to take it back.

Lu Yao reached out and hugged it: "I like it, thank you, I was thirsty."

Lu Yao sipped the warm milk tea, the sweet but not cloying taste perfectly soothing her throat, which was dry from talking for so long.

She quietly raised her eyes and glanced at Fu Ciyan beside her.

The man's expression remained unchanged, but his gaze fell on her hands holding the milk tea, and a faint smile seemed to flicker in his eyes.

"Are you coming again tomorrow?" Fu Ciyan asked as they walked towards the elevator.

"No need, today is the last day, but filming starts next week, so I expect to be busier as I'll be working with the crew."

"Are you going to stay with the film crew?"

"I don't know yet." Lu Yao thought she could ask He Shang beforehand when she got back.

The two returned to the hovercar. Lu Yao glanced at Fu Ciyan and, seeing that he didn't mention the previous incident again, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then they realized that this didn't seem to be their route home.

"Aren't we going home?" she asked, looking at the scenery rushing past outside.

"Okay," Fu Ciyan replied, "I'll take you somewhere."

Lu Yao blinked, tightened her grip on the milk tea, and the ripples in her heart that had just calmed down started to resurface.

"Where?" she couldn't help but ask, her voice filled with undisguised curiosity.

Fu Ciyan glanced at her sideways, keeping her in suspense: "You'll know when we get there."

"Okay." Although Lu Yao said that, she felt like a kitten was scratching at her heart. She was really intrigued by Fu Ciyan.

The car eventually drove into a quiet, upscale residential area.

The architectural style here is completely different from that in the city center. Most of the buildings are detached or terraced houses with simple and modern designs and a quiet and private environment.

The hovercar stopped in front of one of the three-story villas with a gray and white color scheme.

Fu Ciyan turned off the engine and unbuckled his seatbelt: "Get out of the car."

Lu Yao followed him out of the car and stood in front of the unfamiliar yet beautiful building, somewhat bewildered.

The villa in front of her had large floor-to-ceiling windows, revealing a simple and comfortable interior design. There were even a few flowering trees she didn't recognize in the yard, swaying gracefully in the evening breeze.

"What is this?" She looked at Fu Ciyan, her eyes full of doubt.

"One of my properties." Fu Ciyan walked to the door, and the fingerprint lock opened with a click. "It's been empty before, and I occasionally had someone take care of it. Come in and have a look."

Lu Yao walked in, full of questions.

The entryway is spacious and bright, and the interior features an open-plan design, with the living room, dining room, and kitchen connected in one area, offering a wide view.

The overall color scheme is warm off-white and natural wood tones, accented with a few green plants and art pieces, creating a low-key and comfortable feel.

"Do you like it?" Fu Ciyan's voice rang out beside him.

Lu Yao snapped out of her daze and nodded honestly, "It's beautiful and comfortable, but why did you bring me here?"

Fu Ciyan looked down at her.

"You just said that you'll be joining a film crew next week, which might make you busier, and you might even need to live near the film set." He slowly began, "I know you like the apartment you're living in now and feel safe there, but if the workload increases in the future, it'll be far from Xingwen Entertainment and other common film and television bases, and commuting will waste a lot of time."

He paused, then pointed out the window: "It's not far from several major filming locations, the transportation is convenient, the environment is quieter, there's enough space, and there's a separate study, which is suitable for your work and writing. We can move in together."

Lu Yao's heart felt as if it had been gently bumped by something, leaving a dull, sour, and throbbing sensation.

She hadn't expected that Fu Ciyan's questions were for this reason.
