Chapter 43 Childhood Sweethearts~
The next morning, sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains and fell directly on Su Yu's face.
Su Yu opened his eyes groggily, feeling a bit of heaviness in his arm. He turned his head and saw Ma Sichun staring at him with a pair of large, clear black and white eyes, not blinking.
"You...you really want to seduce me?" Ma Sichun's voice was a little hoarse from just waking up, and she said in a coquettish tone.
Recalling the passion of last night, Su Yu rolled over and put Ma Sichun on top of him:
"If I remember correctly, you were the one shouting that you wanted to hit on me last night, right?"
After hearing this, Ma Sichun wasn't embarrassed at all. Instead, she chuckled and sat up abruptly, throwing off the covers.
She was only wearing a simple pair of underwear, which cinched a small layer of soft flesh around her waist, and Su Yu couldn't help but pinch it.
Ma Sichun gave him a coquettish look: "Don't pinch me like that. Since it's a misunderstanding, you can leave now."
As he spoke, he stood up, saying, "I don't want to take responsibility."
Su Yu: That suits me perfectly!
Just as Su Yu was about to get dressed and leave, Ma Sichun suddenly stopped, turned around, a sly glint in her eyes, and sat back down on Su Yu's lap, hooking her arms around his neck, her breath sweet as orchids:
"You want to leave as soon as you've started? No way! Let's do it again..."
"Huh?" Su Yu gasped for breath, reaching out to grasp that soft waist. It was early morning, and he was already aroused. "You asked for this."
He rolled over and pinned the little fleshy Maschun beneath him...
After an unknown amount of time, Ma Sichun's pleading voice echoed from inside the room: "Su Yu... please, I really want to break up now..."
Su Yu was busy with something and couldn't let her have her way: "Break up? You want to break up now? Too late, it's too late!"
Once everything had calmed down, Su Yu patted Ma Sichun's fair, chubby little leg, causing Ma Sichun to tremble a few times.
"Alright, let's hurry to the set. Director Su is probably getting impatient."
Ma Sichun didn't even have the strength to grab her clothes. Her face flushed, she gritted her teeth and, supporting her aching legs, pushed Su Yu out. Before closing the door, she said angrily:
"Su Yu, you beast!"
After leaving Ma Sichun's room, Su Yu picked up his phone and found dozens of unread messages on the screen, some from Jing Tian and some from Reba. Su Yu replied to a few of them, but the rest of the messages were from another person.
Note name: [Xue'er].
Su Yu's heart skipped a beat. Oh no!
He opened the chat window. The messages had been sent from 11 p.m. last night until 1 a.m. The tone changed from anticipation to irritability, then to grievance, and finally to worry. Su Yu could imagine her aggrieved expression.
[Su Yu! Where are you?! You promised to video chat!!]
[Not replying to messages, huh? Where are you hanging out again?]
[Answer the phone! Answer the phone! Answer the phone! Answer the phone! Answer the phone!]
[Fine, you bullfrog, Su Yu, you just wait!]
"...Did something happen to you?"
Just reply to me, even just one sentence, to let me know you're okay!
......
Looking at the screen full of messages, Su Yu cursed himself under his breath for being a "red egg" (a derogatory term for someone who is unlucky).
Yesterday morning I promised Li Yitong, also known as Li Xue, that I would make a video call with her last night, but after my battle with Ma Sichun, I didn't even turn on my phone, let alone make a video call.
He glanced at the time: 7:20 a.m.
Thank goodness, Li Xue shouldn't be at work yet at this hour. According to her habits, she's probably practicing in the dance studio right now.
Su Yu found a secluded spot, opened the chat, and made a video call.
beep - beep - beep -
It rang only three times before the other end answered.
A face that was all too familiar appeared on the screen.
Li Yitong was wearing a black, tight-fitting training outfit, her hair neatly pinned up at the back of her head, revealing her slender neck.
The mirror in the practice room reflected the rows of barre bars behind her. Her face was covered in sweat, and a few strands of hair clung to her forehead, indicating that she had been practicing for quite some time.
But at this moment, the expression on that face can hardly be described as friendly.
The crescent moon, now narrowed into a dangerous slit.
"Hey, isn't this busybody Su?"
Li Yitong brought her face close to the screen, narrowed her eyes, and wore a strange, sarcastic smile.
"I thought you were dead, I almost called your mom."
"Hehe, Sister Xue~ I was wrong, I was wrong, okay!"
Su Yu clasped his hands together, as if praying to Buddha.
"I went out drinking with friends from the film crew last night. I drank a little too much and then got drunk. I didn't even have time to look at my phone."
Li Yitong looked at him suspiciously, sniffing hard as if she could smell him through the screen.
"Drinking? With whom were you drinking so heartily? A man or a woman?"
Su Yu felt a pang of guilt when he thought of Ma Sichun still lying in bed, but he kept a straight face and said:
"Yes, yes, all of them. Let's get together, all the main actors in our crew, and strengthen our bonds."
"Oh, right, didn't I tell you before that I'd come see you after I'm done with this busy period? I really am filming now, and it's not a cameo role anymore~"
After finishing his explanation, Su Yu immediately changed the subject.
"With the main actors? Really?"
Li Yitong raised an eyebrow, her expression shifting from sarcastic to skeptical, and asked with a wrinkled nose.
"It's absolutely true, 'The Left Ear,' adapted from Rao Xueman's novel and directed by Su Youpeng, is a movie!"
Li Yitong was well aware of Su Yu's situation. They hadn't been in touch much lately, so she was somewhat surprised to hear that he had started making a serious film, directed by Su Youpeng.
"Hehe, I'm a bit lucky."
Su Yu held his phone up so she could see his background clearly.
"Look, this is the hotel, arranged by the film crew. I'm playing the second male lead, a genuine second male lead! Su Youpeng originally wanted me to play the male lead!"
Li Yitong stared at the screen for a few seconds, then finally burst out laughing.
Although she didn't know if he was bragging, she was still happy for him.
"Well done, Su Yu. You've really made something of yourself. I thought you'd spend your whole life as an extra in Hengdian."
"Tch, when we were kids you said I looked like a movie lead actor, and you kept saying you wanted to be my leading lady," Su Yu couldn't help but tease Li Yitong.
Li Yitong was his childhood sweetheart, and their families lived in the same neighborhood. They were together from kindergarten to high school until Li Yitong went to the Beijing Dance Academy, which separated them geographically. However, it was only a short year later when Su Yu was admitted to the Beijing Film Academy, and the two came to the same city again.
She was a year older than Su Yu and had always considered herself his older sister. No matter what Su Yu did, she would always try to control him.
When he was a child, Su Yu found it annoying, but now that he thinks about it, it's still a very happy thing to have someone who cares about him.
However, there was one thing Su Yu couldn't accept: after she grew up, she developed a strange habit of always rubbing Su Yu's hair and making him call her "Mommy."
Although Su Yu had to admit that she did have a very maternal face.
"Who wants to be your leading lady!" Li Yitong blushed and glared at Su Yu.
