Huayu Entertainment: It was the young actress who took the initiative.

December 30th.

The cast and crew of "Princess Agents".

The winter wind was biting, rustling the withered yellow grass.

Today we're filming Chen Mo's last scene in "Princess Agents".

Yan Xun and Chu Qiao's final farewell.

Chen Mo and Zhao Liying were already on horseback, ready to go.

Chen Mo was dressed in black armor with a dark red cloak draped over his shoulders. His battle-worn makeup made him look somewhat weathered and tired.

Zhao Liying, on the other hand, was dressed in a sleek black outfit, her long hair tied up, and her eyes held a complex expression.

"Action!"

The clapperboard is struck.

Two horses stood facing each other in the open field, less than five meters apart, yet they seemed separated by an insurmountable chasm.

Chen Mo looked at Chu Qiao, who was standing on horseback opposite him, and his eyes were filled with too many complex emotions.

Resentment, pain, struggle, and a trace of unspoken longing.

"Chu Qiao,"

He finally spoke, his voice hoarse in the cold wind.

"All these years... have you ever loved me?"

Zhao Liying looked at him, her eyes filled with sorrow and regret, but even more so with a clear-headed resolve.

She remained silent for a very long time, so long that Chen Mo thought she wouldn't answer.

Suddenly, she spoke slowly: "I don't know if I've ever loved you."

Chen Mo's eyes dimmed instantly.

"but,"

Chu Qiao continued, her voice soft, yet each word clear.

"All I know is that I care about you, and I can't tolerate anyone hurting you..."

My greatest wish is to return to Yanbei with you and see you return home safely.

Her eyes were slightly red as she said this, but no tears fell.

This is Chu Qiao, a clear-headed and resilient Chu Qiao. Even when heartbroken, she remains rational.

Chen Mo laughed, a laugh filled with sorrow and self-mockery.

"Returning to Yanbei... returning home safely..."

He repeated those words, as if savoring some bitter taste.

"I can never go back."

He looked up at the gray sky: "From the day of Jiuyoutai, Yan Xun has had no home."

Zhao Liying looked at him like this, her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything.

She knew that once you embark on a certain path, there's no going back.

Some people, once they change, can never go back.

Thinking of this, Zhao Liying no longer hesitated, immediately turned her horse around, and rode away.

The sound of horses' hooves gradually faded into the distance, eventually disappearing at the edge of the wilderness.

Chen Mo sat on his horse, looking in the direction Zhao Liying had gone, and remained motionless for a long time.

"Card--!"

Director Wu Jinyuan's voice came through the loudspeaker:

"Cut! Congratulations Chen Mo, filming wrapped!"

Applause and cheers erupted from the crowd.

As Chen Mo dismounted, staff members immediately jogged over to present him with flowers.

Zhao Liying also came over and hugged him.

"You acted wonderfully. I can always get into character quickly when I'm filming with you."

Zhao Liying looked into his eyes and said sincerely.

"Me too, I've learned a lot from you during this time."

"Learn from each other."

Zhao Liying smiled and said, "We'll have the opportunity to work together again in the future."

The wrap-up ceremony was simple. The crew prepared a cake, and after everyone ate the cake, they took a group photo together.

Chen Mo bid farewell to the director, screenwriter, and all the staff.

"Chen Mo, you did a good job."

Director Wu Jinyuan patted him on the shoulder, "The character Yan Xun will be very popular."

"Thank you, Director. I'm sorry for the trouble you've caused during this time."

"It's no trouble at all, it's a pleasant surprise. I hope we'll have the opportunity to work together again next time."

……

In the afternoon, Chen Mo returned to his hotel room and began packing his luggage.

After more than three months of filming, the room was filled with a lot of stuff.

He sorted through everything, then returned the costumes to the crew and packed up his personal belongings.

As evening fell, he left the hotel with his suitcase.

The sunset in Hengdian dyed the sky orange-red. Chen Mo looked at this place where he had stayed for more than three months and suddenly felt a little reluctant to leave.

At 9 p.m., the plane landed at Beijing Capital International Airport.

Chen Mo returned to his apartment, opened the door, and was immediately greeted by the smell of someone who hadn't lived there for a long time.

He put down his luggage, opened the window for ventilation, and did a quick cleaning.

I had just sat down to rest when my phone rang.

It was a message from Li Yitong:

"Chen Mo, when does filming for 'Princess Agents' wrap up? When are you going back to Beijing? [Peeking in]"

"Filming wrapped up this afternoon. I just arrived in Beijing and am currently settling in at home."

"You've worked hard! What are your plans for New Year's Eve? Do you have any plans?"

New Year's Eve?

Chen Mo glanced at the calendar; today was the 30th, and tomorrow would be the 31st.

He thought for a moment, then typed:

"Not decided yet. What about you?"

"Mengyan and I are planning to spend New Year's Eve together, have a meal, and sing some karaoke. Would you like to join us?"

Mengyan and Yitong... The smiling faces of the two girls floated into Chen Mo's mind.

Dilraba is filming on set, and Yang Mi is probably at some TV station's New Year's Eve gala, so they won't be looking for him.

I don't have any plans for tomorrow.

"OK."

"See you tomorrow night, I'll send you the address later!"

I had just finished chatting with Li Yitong when another message popped up.

It was sent by Meng Ziyi:

"Chen Mo, are you in Beijing right now?"

"I just finished filming and arrived in Beijing. What's up?"

"I'd like to ask you to ring in the New Year together tomorrow night. Are you free?"

Chen Mo was stunned for a moment.

What should we do?

At that moment, he longed to become a time management master like Teacher Luo, and he decided to tell the truth:

"Yitong just asked me out for New Year's Eve..."

Seeing this message, Meng Ziyi on the other side of the screen bit her lip and typed sadly:

"Alright then! [Feeling wronged]"

Chen Mo could sense the disappointment on the other side of the screen from those three short words.

He suddenly thought of a way and sent another message to Li Yitong:

"Can we add someone else tomorrow? Ziyi just asked me to spend New Year's Eve with her too."

When Li Yitong saw the name Ziyi, she suddenly remembered the scene of kissing Chen Mo in front of Meng Ziyi that night.

Then she quickly shook her head, banishing those images, and replied:

"Ziyi...why don't we invite her to come along? It'll be more fun with more people."

"So I told her?"

"Okay, you should tell Ziyi to come along."

Yitong is so easy to talk to; I knew she would agree...

The thorny problem has finally been solved...

Chen Mo switched back to the chat window with Meng Ziyi:

"Ziyi, do you want to come along? It'll be more fun with more people."

"Really? [Happy]"

"Tomorrow night at six o'clock, I'll send you the address later."

"Okay! I'll definitely be there on time!"

Putting down his phone, Chen Mo leaned back on the sofa and let out a long sigh of relief.

Tomorrow is New Year's Eve.

Meng Ziyi, Bai Mengyan, and Li Yitong—it would be quite interesting to see these three girls together, right?

Chen Mo couldn't help but laugh when he thought about the personalities of these three people, and then got up to continue packing his luggage.

It seems like my first year after being reborn wasn't so bad?

I've filmed three movies and made so many good friends...

Outside the window, the lights of Beijing gradually came on.

The new year is almost here.
