Chapter 1 Joshua

September, the height of summer, and the weather was exceptionally hot.

Inside a studio at Hengdian World Studios, a historical drama crew was filming. A circle of staff members stood around, all wearing short sleeves and shorts, sweating profusely.

The camera was focused on a young man dressed in heavy period costume. The young man looked to be around twenty years old, wearing a sky-blue brocade robe, with long black hair reaching his waist.

The young man''s skin was very fair, his black eyes sparkled, his nose was high, and his lips were rosy. He had light makeup on his face, with slightly chubby cheeks, looking like a pampered young master from ancient times.

He said a line, his voice clear and pleasant, like a bubbling spring in a deep forest. When he smiled, his eyes curved, revealing sharp canine teeth, looking exceptionally cute.

A fan outside the camera blew, making the young man''s long hair and robe flutter in the wind, creating a scene as beautiful as a painting.

"Alright, cut!"

"That''s it for the morning shoot, everyone. Good job, it''s time for lunch!"

"Finally done, I was about to die from the heat." Joshua blew a breath onto his face, rolled up his long sleeves to reveal half of his fair arm, and quickly walked over to the director. He patted the director''s shoulder and grinned, "Director, how did I do just now?"

"Joshua, you did great. I''ve never seen such a talented actor like you, keep it up!" The director praised with a smile, though there was a hint of perfunctoriness in his tone.

"Thank you, director, I will keep working hard!"

Completely oblivious, Joshua ran off excitedly, looking for his assistant.

The director, who had been smiling, immediately changed his expression and muttered under his breath, "He really thinks he''s something, just because Mr. Smith is backing him. He''s not even as good as a vase!"

While the other staff members rushed to get their lunch boxes, Joshua set up a folding chair under a big tree and sat down. His fair and beautiful hand held a small electric fan. Maybe because it was too hot, his cheeks were flushed, and his face was covered in sweat.

"Where did George go? Why isn''t he back yet?"

Just as he was muttering to himself, his assistant George came running over with a bag, panting heavily by the time he got there.

"Mr. Johnson, here''s your coffee and cake." He said, still catching his breath, as he took out the items from the bag: an iced coffee and a delicately made small cake.

"Awesome!" Joshua''s eyes lit up when he saw the food. He quickly took the coffee, unwrapped the straw, and took a big sip, looking satisfied as he gave a thumbs up, "Perfect!"

Assistant George looked at his boss''s chubby face and couldn''t help but sigh. He squatted down beside him, saying weakly, "Mr. Johnson, Mr. Smith doesn''t want you drinking these. Also, as a young idol actor, you really should control your weight..."

Joshua took another sip of coffee, glanced at his assistant indifferently, and mumbled while chewing on the pearls, "Just don''t tell him. Besides, Leonard said he likes my chubby look, says it feels like holding a baby, comfortable!"

George helplessly held his forehead, secretly thinking that his boss was definitely the most gluttonous among all the young idols in the entertainment industry!

If he keeps eating like this, what if Mr. Smith gets tired of him one day?
