Chapter 24 – Be Good

The guy’s hands were really big, almost covering more than half her face. There were some calluses on it, and a soapy smell lingered.

Su Yi followed it up, and put her hands on the guy’s arms, treating his body as the back of a chair. Chu Ying could feel her closing her eyes, her eyelashes tickling the palm of his hands; it felt a little itchy.

The people beside them were all staring blankly at them.

Wu Xue had on an expression clearly said ‘you young people sure have your ways of playing’.

Chu Ying allowed her to hold him. “How did you know it was me?”

Su Yi opened her eyes, her eyelashes brushed his palm once more, then she cracked her lips open and said, “Next time, I’ll send you a bottle of the shower wash I use.”

Chu Ying lost it. He slowly shifted his hand away, Su Yi reclined on her chair’s backrest, still looking at him. Her eyes were filled with mirth. “Why are you here?”

“Checking up on you,” Chu Ying said simply, sitting beside her.

The actors and the main crew had met him yesterday. When they saw him now, they all came up to greet him.

The Assistant Director came up, a smile on his face. “Why, it’s Director Chu! If you’d said earlier, I would have picked you up myself. We just finished shooting the first scene, it’s still a little messy…”

“I’m just dropping by,” Chu Ying said. “It’s quite good.”

It’s unclear whether he was talking about the set or the scene.

The Assistant Director saw how close the two were sitting, and barely refrained from asking. The relationship between celebrities and bosses was a real minefield and he was afraid of saying something he shouldn’t.

But there were clearly people who were not afraid. After thinking about it, Tu Jinglan gritted her teeth, adjusted the slit of her Qipao, and made sure to sway her hips while walking over to the Director, pretending that she wanted to see the replay before exclaiming in surprise. “Director Chu? You’re here to visit Yi-jie?”

She really wanted to know if Su Yi was with Chu Ying. She was of the belief that not many men could reject a woman who was offering herself to them. Someone like Chu Ying, who refused to even give out a phone number, was either someone with a girlfriend, or a wife.

She did not expect Chu Ying to merely glance at her coldly, not even making a sound. She kept the curve on her lips for almost a minute before she awkwardly stopped smiling.

Su Yi ignored her too, turning to ask, “Didn’t you say you were exercising?”

“Yeah,” Chu Ying said. “When I sent you that, I had just finished.”

The next scene was for the two main characters; the next time Su Yi was needed was a few scenes away. As if she’d remembered something, she asked, “You saw the first scene?”

Chu Ying said, “I saw it.

“How was it?” Su Yi tilted her head to the side and got closer. Her smile was sweet and silly, without a trace of the seductiveness she’d just portrayed. “Was I pretty?”

While the two of them whispered, Tu Jinglan’s face was green for a while, and then white for another while. As if remembering something, she blurted out. “Yi-jie, Liang Bo-ge came to find me earlier and asked for our filming location. Is he coming to look for you?”

“Lan Lan.” Lin Xia’s voice sounded, halting this topic in time. “You’re going to be up soon, hurry up and go touch up your make-up.”

The two concertedly tossed the question down and ran.

Barely a few steps away, Lin Xia couldn’t help scolding her in a low volume. “What are you trying to do with Chu Ying?”

“I’m not trying to do anything to him.” Tu Jinglan pursed her lips. “I’m just trying not to let Su Yi take advantage of him.”

“We just started filming, you got this role after so much struggles, don’t lose it.” Lin Xia had many celebrities under her, she could not stay here with Tu Jinglan in Shanghai every day. She had just left for five minutes when Tu Jinglan did something silly. She was really starting to worry about what would happen after she left. “Tomorrow, I need to go back to Beijing for half a month, don’t get involved in anything in that time, just focus on filming. Can you do it?”

Tu Jinglan understood the other meant for her to ‘obediently’ do nothing.

She did not understand why Su Yi could sit beside the Director and watch her direct the show, and have Chu Ying come visit her on the set. And what she’d said about Liang Bo was not a lie either, he did ask her for their filming location.

So, were all the good things in the world only for Su Yi?

When she did not reply, Lin Xia repeated. “Got it?”

Tu Jinglan stopped looking at her, and unwillingly said, “Got it.”

“And,” Lin Xia opened her message, and said, “Director Qi wants you to go find him tonight.”

Su Yi had totally not expected Chu Ying to come visit her. From the moment he’d arrived up until now, the tip of her mouth was curved up. It was not until the second scene was wrapped that she thought of something and walked around Chu Ying, checking him.

Chu Ying raised an eyebrow. “What is it?”

Su Yi said, “You came here with nothing?”

It was the first time Chu Ying was visiting someone at work, he had no idea there would be an etiquette he had to observe. “What do you want to eat?”

Su Yi smiled as she raised her hand and spread it in front of him.

They had really just gotten to know each other recently, but they already had a sort of ability to know what the other wanted to do. Before Su Yi spoke, Chu Ying had already placed the phone in her hand.

Su Yi opened the memo, and keyed everything one by one.

Five minutes later, when Chu Ying took it back and looked, there were plenty of things on it. Strawberries, some brand of drinks, cornetto… it was obvious that these were what she liked to eat.

“Little Yi.” Li Min extricated herself from the discussion and noticed that Chu Ying was sitting beside Su Yi. She hastily greeted him, before turning her attention back to Su Yi. “Go touch up, after the next scene it’s your turn to go up.”

Actually, Su Yi’s make-up had not been messed up in anyway. Every well-known director had that one or two strange obsession though, and Li Min’s was no exception. Regardless of how perfect each actor’s make-up was, she expected them to do a touch up before filming their scene, even if it was just dusting over their make-up with some powder.

Su Yi had worked with her before, so she did not say anything more than necessary as she got up. “I’m going to the make-up room.”
