Chapter 84 TV Series Premiere
After successfully completing his duties as a tutor for the day, Xia Yan knocked on the door on the 9th floor.
As the door opened.
What came into view was Mai Sakurajima's stunningly beautiful face.
She was like a virtuous wife waiting to return home.
Today is the premiere of Mai's drama, and Mai came back early to watch it with him.
This is Mai Sakurajima's first drama series since her return, and its success or failure will directly determine whether Mai—the former superstar—can make a triumphant comeback.
If this TV series succeeds, it will be a great start, marking Mai Sakurajima's strong comeback after three years; conversely, if it fails, the negative impact will be enormous due to the intense scrutiny she receives.
However, looking at Mai's radiant face, Xia Yan knew that even if she failed, her confidence would not be shaken.
After reporting to Miki, Mai Sakurajima arrived at her home without anyone noticing.
The two were able to spend their rest time watching TV dramas.
The brandy was poured into two glasses by the mandarin-clad woman.
The wine was brought from Xia Yan's own home. Even though it was just the two of them celebrating, these things were essential. Sometimes life needs a sense of ritual.
Brandy, a distilled spirit meant to be enjoyed neat at room temperature, boasts an amazingly rich aroma and a mellow taste.
Xia Yan put the empty brandy glass back on the table and said to Mai sitting next to him, "So, how's your acting career going? Tell me your thoughts."
Sakurajima Mai wasn't surprised at all by Xia Yan's sudden suggestion. She kept her mouth off the wine glass and answered honestly.
"As expected, acting is really interesting, and with the protection of our Midsummer Night's Star president's capable subordinate, Misaki-nee, I feel quite comfortable."
This is true.
As one of the president's wives, Mishiro naturally dared not slack off and did her utmost to handle every detail.
Fortunately, Mai is not someone who takes advantage of being pampered.
The two got along quite well.
However, Mai, as a qualified actress, took on extra responsibilities and did not waste a single bit of the agency's resources.
Time quickly passed to 9 o'clock.
it's here.
The prime-time slot is also used to compete for viewership ratings.
Finally, the opening credits began.
With upbeat music and smooth camera work, the drama starring Mai Sakurajima officially begins.
Mai Sakurajima pulled Natsuhiko's arm, who was sitting next to her, into her lap, and the two began watching their private movie together.
......
The Nakano family home on the 30th floor of an apartment building.
It's rare for Ichika Nakano to watch a prime-time hit drama with her friends.
Nakano Ichika's eyes lit up with admiration as she reached out and put a cookie that Nino had made into her mouth, saying something along the way.
"The current lead actress is a third-year student from our Hoshinoumi Academy, a true star~"
Ichika clenched her fist excitedly.
"This is a senior figure worthy of respect!"
Wow, is that amazing?
The group looked at the actress Mai Sakurajima on the LCD screen to describe their feelings, their mouths agape enough to fit a handful of cookies.
......
Fujiwara family.
The eldest daughter, Fujiwara Toyomi, and the third daughter, Fujiwara Moeha, are watching a TV series with Fujiwara Chika while eating a platter.
Fujiwara Chika rubbed her eyes, looking at the familiar figure appearing on the screen.
They started taking out their phones and clicking away.
Fujiwara Toyomi, sitting to the side, watched his younger sister's actions.
Gently pick up a ripe fruit and put it in your mouth.
"Chika, are you texting your boyfriend? Sigh, Chika's past the age of looking for a boyfriend..."
Chika shook her head.
His eyes narrowed.
"It's Kaguya, Kaguya."
Fujiwara Moeha, with her twin tails, looked up: "Is it Kaguya-neechan?"
Fujiwara Chika nodded.
Fujiwara Toyomi indicated that he understood.
"But do you two have so much to talk about tonight? What do you talk about?"
"Of course, it was about discovering a really good TV series and wanting her to watch it together."
"It is indeed a rare good drama. Only those with great talent can be placed in prime time."
Fujiwara Chika laughed and then turned to ask her sisters.
"Is the lead actress prettier, or am I prettier?"
The two sisters blinked.
At the same time, a question popped into my mind: What are you doing?
......
Meanwhile, Kaguya, who was enjoying her leisurely time, hurriedly spoke to her attendant, Hayasaka Ai, who was actually like a sister to her.
"Quick, turn on the TV, I want to watch a drama."
Wait until the power is plugged in.
Hayasaka Ai saw Kaguya, who was usually calm and composed, waver for a moment.
She also watched TV; the lead actress was Mai Sakurajima, an absolutely gorgeous girl.
She glanced at the characters in the play, then at her young mistress's tablet, and thought she had grasped the gist of the matter. The world had presented her young mistress with far too many difficulties; she hoped she could find happiness!
but.
Mai Sakurajima... Haven't I seen her somewhere before?
The blond-haired attendant was slightly puzzled.
......
In the living room of the apartment.
Xia Yan received a call from Mei Cheng.
Even through the receiver, I could feel her excitement.
"President, the drama's ratings have been breaking records one after another. Mai's comeback is perfect."
Xia Yan verbally expressed his appreciation for Meicheng's work and offered non-professional guidance for the work ahead.
The huge success of the performance means that after tonight, Mai will once again appear under the spotlight as a talented actress, and entertainment reporters and cameras will be frequently present at press conferences.
Meicheng expressed her assurance in a cheerful mood.
correct.
Seeing is believing.
With just one episode's viewership, former star Mai Sakurajima's acting skills were fully demonstrated, making her performance incredibly convincing!
There's no way around it; there are no shortcuts to acting training.
If you want to excel, you have to work tirelessly.
"Mai's efforts have not been in vain."
Hearing Xia Yan's encouragement.
Mai's face quickly flushed red.
"I won't get excited just because you compliment me!"
Mai hugged his arm tightly, as if afraid he would run away, her gaze instead drifting to the ceiling.
"oh......?"
Whether it was psychological or not, Mai felt that Xia Yan's brief response sounded a little lower than usual.
Xia Yan turned his gaze to the side, watching Mai's amusing reaction.
Black hair swayed gently in the corner of Shan's field of vision.
"Heh...hehehe, is that so? Is that so?"
Xia Yan smiled happily.
Hearing Xia Yan's laughter, the Queen finally lowered her head, gave him a disapproving glare, and then pressed her hot, moist lips against his cheek.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mai. You did a really good job."
"I also believe that meeting you was my greatest fortune." He said.

Seeing Xia Yan's brows drooping because of Rou Che's yawn, Queen Mai's face showed a mischievous smile, and she whispered something unexpected in his ear.
It was Mai who said such a thing.
Out of male instinct, Xia Yan's body reflexively trembled.
"Hmm? How is it?"
