Chapter 61: Bloody Wind and Rain
Chapter 61: Storm of Scandal
After a hectic day, Lin Qin and Meng Chao finally managed to return to the capital before midnight. The two quickly took a shower and then nestled in bed together.
"When did you sign on for *Silent Battle*? How come I had no idea?" Lin Qin asked as he played with Meng Chao’s slender fingers.
*Silent Battle* was the movie they were scheduled to begin filming next month. Lin Qin had accepted the role before agreeing to the recording of *We Are Together,* taking on one of the lead roles.
Yes, one of the leads.
This film was a male-centric story, with the so-called female lead having a virtually non-existent presence—there wasn’t even a romantic subplot involving her and the male leads.
It was a dual male-lead film. When Lin Qin signed on, the producers mentioned that the other lead was still being negotiated. Lin Qin never imagined that by the time the role was finalized, the other male lead would turn out to be Meng Chao.
"The director’s someone I’ve worked with before. He approached me personally. I read the script, thought it was excellent, and agreed to take the role," Meng Chao explained honestly. When he accepted the film, he genuinely hadn’t known Lin Qin would be the other lead. Later, when he found out, Meng Chao was pleasantly surprised—it was an unexpected delight.
Ever since falling for Lin Qin, Meng Chao had always wanted to collaborate in a film with him. He hadn’t expected the opportunity to come so soon, and what’s more, it hadn’t been deliberately arranged—it all fell into place almost serendipitously.
That must be what people call fate.
