Chapter 77 Finally Appears
Chapter 77 Finally Appears
After lunch, Su Yu spent the entire afternoon on set.
During breaks in filming, he looked around. Ou Hao and Chen Duling were both there, but Ma Sichun was nowhere to be seen. She hadn't sent him any messages since returning to Xiamen, and he wondered where she was busy. However, he quickly put the matter out of his mind—he was just too busy.
At 6:30 p.m., the crew had dinner, and Master Su, who had been busy all day, could finally rest.
After Su Yu returned, the crew's efficiency indeed increased exponentially, and Su Youpeng was all smiles. He wanted to treat Su Yu to a meal, but Su Yu didn't have the leisure for that. He just wanted to finish his meal quickly and go back to the hotel for a good night's sleep.
Sitting on the bleachers by the playground, Su Yu was engrossed in eating a boxed lunch from the film crew.
In the distance, the setting sun blazed like fire, and a small figure climbed the steps of the stands, slowly approaching Su Yu.
Chen Duling sat down next to him with her own lunchbox, about an elbow's width away.
For Chen Duling, this was already very close, a result of her thorough mental preparation.
Su Yu glanced at her, put down the boxed lunch in his hand, and let out a long sigh. Having familiar people around always makes him feel more relaxed.
Today's lunchbox consisted of braised pork with potatoes and two kinds of green vegetables. Chen Duling opened her lunchbox without making a sound, and with a deft touch of her chopsticks, she quietly transferred the braised pork from her portion into Su Yu's lunchbox.
She felt that Su Yu had lost so much weight, so he needed to eat more oily foods, which was also good for her to maintain her figure.
Su Yu looked up at her: "What are you doing?"
"I don't like eating meat."
Su Yu glanced at the oil on her chopsticks, then at her. Chen Duling's face gradually turned red under his gaze, like the distant sunset. But she stubbornly refused to lower her head, instead staring straight at Su Yu, and confidently picked up another piece of meat and placed it steadily on his rice.
Su Yu pursed his lips and had no choice but to let her be.
The setting sun in the distance was gradually fading away, turning most of the sky a pale purple. The cicadas chirped in the summer air. Looking at the students strolling in the distance and Chen Duling sitting beside him, Su Yu felt as if he had returned to his high school days.
"Du Ling".
"Um?"
"Do you think we're like those high school couples sitting on the playground, whispering sweet nothings?"
Chen Duling looked up and took in the atmosphere around her, then complained, "I feel like a couple in college. My roommate often sits on the playground with her boyfriend."
Su Yu smiled, nodded noncommittally, and took a couple more bites of the braised pork that Chen Duling had placed on his plate.
"If you ever date someone, your boyfriend will definitely get fat from all the feeding you've given him."
Chen Duling's face was already red to the roots of her neck. She lowered her head and ate her rice, squeezing out a muffled "hmm" from her throat. No one knew what this "hmm" meant. Su Yu guessed that she probably didn't know how to respond again.
After quietly eating for a while, she suddenly looked up and blurted out, "Didn't you say you could eat anything and not gain weight?"
After saying that, she paused for a moment, staring at the few remaining green vegetable leaves in her lunchbox, wishing she could chew up her words and swallow them back down.
Seeing her flustered state, Su Yu didn't reply. He lowered his head, ate a couple of mouthfuls of rice, stuffed the piece of braised pork she had picked up into his mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it.
"tasty."
"whispering sound."
Chen Duling secretly poked at the white rice in her bowl with her chopsticks, as if she were pricking a voodoo doll:
Damn Su Yu! Did you really not hear me, or are you pretending not to hear me, or did you simply not understand?
She suddenly regretted speaking so softly...
After dinner, Chen Duling sat on the stands with her knees drawn up to her chest, chatting with Su Yu about what had happened in the past few days, until the last light on the set went out.
After finishing work, Su Yu returned to his hotel room and didn't even bother to turn on the lights. He threw his clothes on the sofa and sprawled out on the bed in a starfish position.
Su Yu didn't know how long he had been lying there when he vaguely heard a knock on the door.
Su Yu sat up in bed, walked to the door, and opened it.
I never expected it to be Ma Sichun.
Today she wore a loose, light pink knitted cardigan over a white tank top, paired with dark gray cotton-linen wide-leg pants. Her hair was loose over her shoulders, carrying the dampness of a recent shower and the milky scent of shower gel.
She wasn't wearing any makeup, and only had a thin layer of lip balm on her lips, making her look incredibly innocent and alluring.
It's all an illusion!
I've already been exploited by Alec Su during the day, so it looks like I can't escape it tonight either.
"Haven't seen you all day, finally decided to show your face?" Su Yu leaned against the doorframe, preventing her from entering. "But it's so late, what are you doing not sleeping?"
Ma Sichun blinked her innocent-looking big eyes, her tone sounding very sincere:
"You spent a week in the capital, and then Director Su filmed you from morning till night. I was worried you were too tired, so I came to see you."
As she spoke, she held up what she was carrying to show him.
A large bag of individually packaged goji berries.
"I brought this especially for you; it's good for your health."
As she spoke, without waiting for Su Yu's reply, she slipped under his arm and entered the room with such practiced ease, as if the room were her own.
Su Yu watched her retreating figure, remembering that it wasn't like this at the beginning. From the initial awkward apology to the later self-righteousness, now she simply couldn't be bothered to even say hello properly.
He glanced around at the empty corridor, then closed the door and followed them inside.
Ma Sichun was already sitting on the sofa. She opened two small packets of goji berries, poured them into a cup, filled it with hot water from the water dispenser, blew on it, and handed it to him: "Here, drink it. Don't let my good intentions go to waste."
"Hmm, is this too much?"
Su Yu glanced at the goji berries that were almost overflowing and frowned.
Ma Sichun didn't speak, but gave him a slightly intimidating look.
Su Yu had no choice but to take it, take a small sip, lean back on the sofa, close his eyes and let out a long sigh. He had to admit that after a long day, a cup of hot tea was indeed very comforting.
"Su Yu," Ma Sichun said suddenly, crossing her legs and leaning her entire body over Su Yu, tilting her head to look at him.
"Do you know how difficult it was for us to film during the week you were away?"
"I heard about it, efficiency has been halved."
"Well, it's not just about efficiency."
Ma Sichun's voice softened a bit, and she sighed again, "I feel like something's missing, and the set is much quieter now."
When you were here before, Chen Duling would occasionally say a few words, but this week she hasn't said much at all. She sits alone in a corner, and doesn't seem to be in good spirits. As for me…”
She paused, took the cup of goji berry tea from Su Yu, took a sip, and considered how to say what to say next.
Su Yu looked down at her.
"As for me," Ma Sichun put the cup back on the coffee table, looked up at him, her eyes filled with undisguised desire, "I just really miss you~"
