Plans and Cookies

Back home a few days later

After their usual shower together, Yue is in bed reading a book and Dylan is downstairs in the studio looking at a script.

Suddenly, he screams her name and startles her. She wonders what he wants and yells back. He screams "Shen Yueeeee" again and she giggles. Why doesn't he come here to read? Maybe he needs the computer...

- Shen Yueee! Come down! Pleaseee!

Alright, coming.

She goes downstairs and into the studio with her cute pink pajamas. He smiles sweetly as soon as he sees her at the door. He can never have enough of his lovely tiny woman.

- Come here, baby – he says stretching his arm.

He sits her on the desk in front of him and lays his head on her chest so she can caress his hair and back.

- Shen Yue... You have to leave in a week, I don't want you to go...

- I know, me neither. But it's the last drama before we work together again.

- It's 3 months! And then I have to start in May for 3 months... Noooo – he wails. – Will this torture ever end? I want it to be over already!

- But you like your job...

- The job, yes. This situation, not at all. I want us to have a family!

- We will...

- In 3 years! I hope we are still alive in 3 years!

- Hey! – Yue slaps him softly. – Don't say that! I know life is unpredictable, but let's be positive. In April you will come to my location as much as possible. In May and June we will take turns; we will only be 2 hours apart by car, I'm sure we can manage to see each other at least once a week, right? We've done it before. And in July I will stay with you in your hotel unless I have work, but it won't be much, I'm sure.

Dylan holds her tight, he wishes they did not have to be separated at all.

- Shen Yue, I know you're great at it, but do you really think you can find a job writing children's books and illustrating other people's books?

- Yes, I am certain. Tomorrow I'm meeting with Issy, I want to ask her for help; she has connections, and she is a great media manager. I will invite her to be my personal manager once my contract expires.

- Are you sure you don't want to be an actress anymore?

- Honestly, I love it, but it's demanding and exhausting. It does not fit well into our plans for the future. And I am tired of kissing all of China! – she chuckles.

Dylan looks up at her with a death stare.

- We are all sick and tired of you kissing all of China... and Taiwan!!!

She shakes her head amused.

- Will your next drama have any kisses? – Yue asks.

- No. I will play a detective who investigates a serial killer. My partner is a woman, but she is married. It's not a romantic drama. I told them I wanted to avoid that, if possible. People liked me as a spy already, and I am perfectly trained to match these roles now. Besides, I will do romance with you in Season 2 and in that movie.

- Issy told me we might even do another drama together if Meteor Garden 2 is as popular as they think. It could be my last one! It would be so nice if you could be my last costar!

- And in the one you start next week, do you have to kiss guys? – he asks with his arms wrapped around her, squeezing her body.

- Ahem... - Yue clears her throat nervously – One or two...
