It was already summer in the south, so the temperature at night was suitable, and the warm wind mixed with the man’s breath as it blew in Yan Qing’s ears.

She leaned against Huo Yunshen’s arms, holding the glass bottle containing fireflies, her heart was throbbing wildly.

It didn’t just start from this moment. The first time she woke up and saw him, she coveted him a little. When she learned that this man who looked good everywhere was actually her husband, she was actually secretly happy all day long.

But the time spent with him was too short, so short that everything felt too late.

Yan Qing asked softly: “I’ll try to like you first, okay?”

Fearing that he would be disappointed, she hastily added: “After liking you, I will try my best to love you.”

Huo Yunshen lifted her from the horse’s back, turned her around, and let her sit facing him, then he said with a smile: “There has to be a time limit, you can’t always only like endlessly, I’m not satisfied.”

Yan Qing was very obedient: “Then how long do you say…”

He stroked her warm palm and replied hoarsely: “It’s time for a kiss.”

After the words fell, he covered the little girl’s clear eyes, pressed them over, and held her soft lips, neither impatient nor overly indulgent, just like sticking to each other’s lips softly, they tossed and rubbed slowly.

His Qingqing was only nineteen years old today, and she was a little fool who had never been in a relationship. He couldn’t be too fierce when he snatched her first kiss.

The night was very quiet, and the voices of people were far away. In the bushes, there were only the occasional light stepping of horseshoes and the faint sound of fireflies beating the glass.

It was not until a long time later that there was a thin watery sound of lips and tongues deeply intertwining.

Huo Yunshen rubbed her flushed face deeply, and announced a little nastily: “It’s time.”

Yan Qing was almost out of breath after being kissed by him, and now she was breathing hard, and couldn’t help complaining but she couldn’t help but stare back and forth as well. While laughing, she laid down on his chest docilely, and said indulgently: “Okay, I fell in love with you a little bit.”

This night, she was so energetic that even after going back to her room, she didn’t sleep. She was going to complete the arduous task of the first half of the show and create the original song for the competition. She was worried that if she had no memory, she would have no skills, but after that kiss, the inspiration and touch were coming back.

Although she couldn’t write as well as before for the time being, there was something special about returning to the basics.

The life chapter of “Night of Song” took two days to shoot. Early the next morning, under the patient explanation of her husband, Mr. Huo, Yan Qing once again went through the process of re-establishing her worldview. The time to adapt was limited. In a daze, she joined the big troops and joined the shooting.

At noon, which was the hottest time of the day, the show happened to change scenes, and they needed to go to a low mountain behind the small river.

The chief director directed with a loudspeaker: “Everyone, work harder, the sun has become hotter, pay attention to safety!”

Yan Qing’s long hair was tied into a lazy bun, and she was wearing wide-leg pants and a cream-green satin short jacket, all the while looking delicate, she held Xu Mohan’s hands who had flaming red lips and big waves, the two little sisters were eye-catching in contrast, and it was a joy to shoot their faces.

“Qingbao, are you okay?” Xu Mohan asked privately, “It’s a low mountain, but it looks quite high to me, and it’s not so easy to walk up.”

Yan Qing’s mental endurance was getting weaker, and her body was also affected, so her body was not as good as before.

While talking, Xu Mohan glanced at Mr. Huo, who was behind the camera and had been following them since morning.

He was neither far nor close, neither making the filming team nor Qingbao herself uncomfortable, but also keeping her in his eyeline all the time.

Yan Qing was also taking a peek at her unfamiliar husband and saw that he had changed into sweatpants and a white top, with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, revealing his neat and beautiful forearms. Her face turned hot, and she fanned herself with her hands.

It was really dangerous for a husband with such good looks to be let outside…

In fact, she wanted to communicate with him more than climbing mountains.

The director was urging them through his loudspeaker, so Yan Qing looked away helplessly, sighed, rolled up her sleeves and was about to set off with Xu Mohan, when Huo Yunshen, who had never made a sound to disturb them, suddenly took a step forward, and said softly, “Wait.”

Surprised while shooting, the director immediately lowered his eyebrows and waited for Mr. Huo’s order.

Huo Yunshen walked up to Yan Qing, and first said to Xu Mohan: “You guys go separately, just let the photographer take pictures of you.”

His eyes fell on Yan Qing’s hot face, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he turned his back to her, squatting down calmly, he looked back at her: “Qingqing, come up, I’ll carry you on my back.”

Yan Qing was stunned.

His back was broad and powerful and his arms were stretched back towards her.

The sun was scorching hot, and according to his outline, he was obviously a tall and stern man, but he sent her the signal of “come and use me” from head to toe without hesitation.

Yan Qing swore that she could go up the mountain by herself, but she couldn’t resist the temptation shamelessly, so she walked over obediently, stuck to his back, and said in a low voice, “Just for a short section, I’m not lazy.”

She was soaring up into the air, then feeling Huo Yunshen’s shoulders shaking from laughter, she plugged his ears with her earphones, flushed red: “You… just listen to music if you have nothing to do, don’t laugh at me.” Then came the sound of his girl humming softly.

It was a tune he had never heard before. It was clean and fresh, as romantic and cute as a fairy tale. There was her own serious recitation in front of it: “This song is called “Firefly”. Even if you forget it tomorrow, you have to sing it to him.”

Yan Qing heard it too, so she forgot! She wrote a new song in the single cycle yesterday-but she had no impression of it at all!

She frantically went to help Huo Yunshen take it off, but he covered her, “It’s so nice.”

Seeing that the rescue failed, Yan Qing simply gave up.

Anyway… sooner or later he would hear it.

The man’s legs were strong enough to hold her steady. Although it was the way up the mountain, there were no bumps in every step.

Yan Qing put her arms around him at ease, stared at his side face intently, and asked curiously: “What happened to me yesterday, how could I write such a sweet song.”

Huo Yunshen’s eyes were soft, and he replied: “You fell in love with me yesterday, but it’s gone.”

The show was filmed at night, and Huo Yunshen climbed a tree and climbed a wall to pick a handful of wild fruits, tied them with the most beautiful flowers on the top of the mountain, and hugged them to Qingqing like he did when he was a rebellious teenager.

He was a little annoyed that tonight’s environment was limited, and wondered whether the things he had prepared were not enough to please her.

But Qing Bao, who had gotten off work, hugged his waist softly, poked his head out from behind the bouquet, her almond eyes full of stars, as she asked solemnly: “Mr. Huo, today… I want to fall in love with you too, do you agree?”

Mr. Huo’s wild fruit was scattered all over the ground, but he picked the sweetest peach in the world.

After recording the first half of the second issue of “Night of Song”, Lin Yuan also carefully selected some high-quality resources, and brought them to Yan Qing to choose from. If her body allowed, she still hoped that Qingbao could keep her high exposure, she didn’t want her to waste the heat that others couldn’t even ask for.

Regarding this matter, Huo Yunshen chose to delegate power: “My wife will choose by herself, no matter which one you like, I will accompany you, so don’t be afraid.”

Yan Qing had her considerations, she was definitely not suitable for long-term work, it was best to pass the quality test, the length of time should be short, in this way, even if her memory was lost, it would not delay others.

She rummaged through the various options, and chose an endorsement and the promotion song for an ancient online game that was currently popular.

The online game had a wide audience, excellent word-of-mouth, a well-established background setting, an atmospheric main storyline, and required a similar style of promotional song, which could be connected with her previously popular “Qingsi”.

Lin Yuan was secretly satisfied, and reminded: “But for this song, the other party hopes that Qingbao can appear in the MV. There won’t be too many shots. You have to wear ancient costumes and pretend to be the princess of the subjugated country in the story. The filming can be completed in about one day.”

Huo Yunshen raised his eyes: “Is there a leading actor?”

“Not counting as the male protagonist, there is a princess’s CP at the end, it will show the back of the general who died in battle,” Lin Yuan said truthfully, “The online game company is spending a lot of money, and the MV is scheduled to be filmed in the film and television city. Qingbao’s popularity is very favourable.”

Huo Yunshen frowned deeply.

Yan Qing was dull at this time, and didn’t quite understand Mr. Huo’s entanglement, so she blinked innocently, and asked nervously, “Is this not the right choice for me?”

Huo Yunshen rubbed her throbbing forehead, and patted her head: “Of course, it is okay, Qingqing’s decision is an imperial decree, so let’s do it.”

A certain person said it calmly, and when the MV was filmed two days later, he personally flew to the film and television city with his wife in his arms, and the online game company and the director team were terrified.

Yan Qing was putting on makeup, getting her hair done, and wearing accessories. Huo Yunshen was watching over her, but when it came time to change clothes, she was still not used to it and pushed him out: “You go and wait outside.”

Unexpectedly, Yan Qing, who was dressed up, did not come out from the main entrance at all, but was guided by the staff, and walked directly to the back door leading to the palace to communicate with the director about the scene.

The assistant director hurried over to inform Mr. Huo: “Your wife is here, do you want to go see her? Originally, the single-person scene was to be shot first, but the male lead is catching up with the free time now, so we plan to take the last hug first. The camera is prepared, so we went to the palace first.”

Huo Yunshen’s footsteps stopped suddenly, and his black eyes turned to him: “Hug?”

The assistant director scratched his head: “Yes, it was designed temporarily this morning, which is more in line with the character entanglement, don’t worry, it’s not the kind of intimate hug, it’s the heroine who sees the back of the hero in a trance, runs over, hugs him from behind, and when the post-processing is done, he disappears at the same time as hugging.”

“What your wife needs to do ——”

The assistant director was shocked by the inexplicable low pressure, and finished tentatively: “Just hug him from the back for a few seconds…”

The reason why Xiao Sheng, who was the male lead of the MV, became popular was that he was really handsome. He and Yan Qing went to change their clothes at the same time, and he was dressed in a heroic military uniform. When he saw Yan Qing, he was stunned for a moment, then he greeted her with a smile: “Hello, princess.”

Not only he was startled, but the film crew who had been in the film and television industry for many years were all also looking at her.

When Huo Yunshen arrived, he stood on the high platform, then his eyes fell on Yan Qing, and he couldn’t move away.

The sun was not good, the sky outside the palace was churning with dull grey clouds, which made the building even more simple and desolate. The princess had long hair like a waterfall, and she wore a bright red cloak with loose ribbons. The dress inside was dragged out on the steps like waves.

A few strands of black hair hung down her snow-coloured cheeks, stained with a trace of blood from her lips.

The princess of the subjugated country was sad and stunning, and her beauty was frightening.

The male protagonist didn’t know Mr. Huo was there, so he smiled and discussed half-truths with the director: “You didn’t tell me before that you chose such a beautiful princess, can you add two more shots for me?”

Yan Qing was keen, following the feeling, when she raised her head, she was facing Huo Yunshen’s deep and serious face.

Her perception of this world was only a few hours, and it all came from him. Seeing his displeasure, she thought she had done something wrong, and timidly lowered her eyelashes.

Huo Yunshen couldn’t bear to see her like this, so he suppressed the turbulent possessive desire in his chest, walked up to her in full view, brushed her temple hair, and said in a low voice: “Don’t be nervous, I’ll watch you from the side.” Seeing his tenderness, she soon smiled sweetly.

On the other hand, the male lead was sweating profusely, and he no longer dared to talk nonsense, so he kept his own place and showed his back.

Huo Yunshen sat behind the monitor, staring at the close-up on the screen.

Qingqing had a high level of comprehension, and after being guided by the director twice, she successfully entered the play. She stepped down the steps, with tears in her eyes, and rushed towards the figure in military uniform.

Huo Yunshen grabbed the armrest, not wanting to show any strangeness.

Qingqing didn’t understand this, she was just dedicated to her work, and he didn’t want to… expose his bad old illness, or control her, restrict her, and annoy her.

He couldn’t…bear any more disgust from Qingqing.

Huo Yunshen wanted to endure it, but seeing his little girl running over, he finally opened his lips: “The corner of the skirt is messed up.”

The director looked closely, and immediately called to stop when he heard it, and arranged for someone to tidy it up.

Yan Qing’s eyes were quick, and she secretly glanced at someone, understanding a little bit.

The second time she came again, her hair was wrong again, and the third time, one of her hairpins fell off.

Huo Yunshen closed his eyes half-closed, and said in a deep voice: “Can this section be deleted?”

The director was embarrassed to explain: “The lyrics are about emotional entanglements. If the general’s back is gone, the whole MV will have no soul.”

He gritted his teeth and couldn’t bear to ask: “A back view is enough?”

“Enough!”

Huo Yunshen raised his eyes: “Let that actor return to his own crew, he is no longer needed, and he will be paid twice.”

He was still that paranoid, and he wanted to do something bad, Qing would not like such things, but it was just a back view. He would stand there without looking back, without speaking, and would leave immediately after the filming. She would not know how difficult her husband was.

The fourth shot started fifteen minutes later, and Yan Qing was notified that there was something wrong with the male protagonist’s costume, and he had to deal with it first.

When the general reappeared, the only brilliance in the grey sky seemed to fall on him.

Yan Qing was far away and couldn’t see clearly.

But that tall and straight figure, heroic and chilling under the black armour, was completely different from before.

He stood silently in the wind, waiting for the long-lost princess to hug him.

Yan Qing’s eyes were filled with real emotion. At the moment when the director called out, she lifted the hem of her skirt and ran down the long stairs. Her eyes were filled with the back of the man waiting. It seemed that she no longer needed to squeeze out her tears. The water stains slid down her cheeks naturally.

She rushed over willingly, hugged him tightly from behind, and called out “Husband” with a choked voice according to the script.

Huo Yunshen secretly clenched his hands.

Qingqing really hugged him, she didn’t know that the person in the armour was replaced by him, she hugged someone else like this.

Those distorted thoughts in his mind were about to rise, when the director called out cut.

Yan Qing still didn’t let go, but her slender arms tightened even more, she stopped crying, and called out with a smile: “Husband——”

Huo Yunshen froze.

She said in a soft voice, “Husband, I recognized you at the first glance. It’s not someone else but you.”

Huo Yunshen grabbed her hand, brought her into his arms, and looked down at her beautiful face.

His princess.

Seeing that he was silent, the princess pursed her lips aggrievedly: “Is there nothing you want to tell me?”

Huo Yunshen stroked the tears on her cheek with his fingertips: “Your husband can’t talk anymore.”
