"Come back to me," Mu Chen chased after her.
The sun had already changed his shoes, opened the door, and when he saw Muchen chasing after him, he didn't even turn his head once. With a "bang," he shut the door and didn't even bother waiting for the elevator, instead going directly up the stairs.
As Mu Chen opened the door, the traces of the setting sun had already disappeared outside. Only the sound of footsteps resounded down the stairs.
Mu Chen did not pursue any further. He could tell that his younger brother's attitude was resolute. Whatever he said now, it would be in vain as his brother would not listen. It would only lead to quarrels between the two of them.
It is perfectly normal for Moyang, at his age, to be in a relationship. Moyin, as his older brother, didn't have a reason to object. However, he couldn't understand why Moyin was specifically interested in men. As his older brother, he had never noticed anything unusual about Moyin. Even the anime characters and celebrities he liked were mostly girls, especially those with a well-endowed figure. When he was younger, he did admire a few martial arts stars, but it was just a passing interest.
But these also cannot explain the issue of Muyang's sexual orientation.
During the four years after entering the entertainment industry, Mu Chen had very little time to spend with his younger brother. One was busy with his studies while the other was busy with work. Half a year ago, they weren't even in the same city, and their only means of communication were phone calls or the internet. However, things improved somewhat in the past six months. When Mu Yang became a student at the Drama Academy in September, he and Mu Chen ended up in the same city. During holidays or when Mu Chen didn't have any work, Mu Yang would come and stay with him.
Muyang had never discussed matters of emotions with him before today. How could Muzhen accept it all of a sudden when Muyang opened his mouth and said he liked men?
He also became curious about the man that his younger brother liked. What kind of man could make Muyang, who is also a man, fall in love and stop listening to his older brother?
It's important to know that even during the rebellious period that often involves arguing and going against parents, Muyang is still very obedient and well-behaved in front of Mochen.
After New Year's Eve, for some time, Muyang did not proactively contact Muchen. When Muchen called him, he would only occasionally respond with one or two sentences.
This made Mu Chen feel restless and anxious. He went to the school to look for Mu Yang, but Mu Yang always avoided him and didn't show up.
Because Muchen refused to accept the fact that Muyang liked men, the two brothers entered into a cold war.
After the Spring Festival, Mu Chen immediately threw himself into work, focusing both his body and mind on it, temporarily setting aside his worries.
The filming of the Xianxia-themed television drama "Plucking the Stars and Embracing the Moon," in which he stars as the male lead, is about to commence. Although he holds the leading role, the other main actors are all accomplished performers, displaying exceptional acting skills. This fact greatly increases the pressure on Mu Chen.
The director probably chose him to be the male lead because of his popularity.
On the day of the photoshoot for the makeup test, Mu Chen arrived at the studio early in the morning. As soon as she appeared in front of everyone, after having her makeup done and changing into a different outfit, it immediately caused a burst of admiration.
"Brother Chen, I just realized today that your appearance is more suitable for acting in costume dramas. Your current outfit is really handsome," flattered Zhang Ran, who was Mu Chen's assistant.
However, what she said is not false. The male lead played by Mu Chen is the top disciple of a cultivation sect, wearing white robes and a jade crown, coupled with Mu Chen's handsome appearance, he indeed possesses a hint of an ethereal and divine charm.
When the director saw Mu Chen's appearance, he let out a sigh of relief. It is important to note that "Clasping the Stars and Moon" is a popular domestic novel that has been adapted into a television drama. There are many loyal fans of the book, and if the TV adaptation is not well received, it's easy to attract criticism. Selecting the wrong actor for a role can also lead to criticism. When the production company announced that Mu Chen would play the male lead, there was widespread opposition online.
Tu Cao was not mocking Mu Chen because of his appearance, but rather his acting skills. However, Mu Chen's current appearance perfectly matched the character of the male protagonist in the drama. Once the official photos were released, it should be able to reduce some of the dissatisfaction from the fans.
