Chapter 75 Duling Reappears
Chapter 75 Duling Reappears
[Tangyuan]: By the way, about that song by Lu Han, don't just talk about it, you have to actually write it! I've been in contact with a few music producers these past few days, and I'll arrange for them to help you with the arrangement once your demo is out.
Looking at these three messages, Su Yu felt a surge of warmth in his heart.
Although Tangyuan always teases him, she's always one step ahead of him when it comes to getting things done.
[Su Yu]: I understand, thank you for your hard work, Sister Tangyuan.
[Tangyuan]: Screw you, it's not hard work for me, I'm miserable!
[Su Yu]: ......
The boarding announcement came on.
Su Yu threw the coffee cup into the trash can, slung his bag over his shoulder, and headed towards the boarding gate.
He glanced back at the night view of the capital city outside the window; thousands of lights stretched across the autumn night sky like a golden sea.
He had fully enjoyed the summer in this city.
Next, it's time to go back to Xiamen.
He boarded the plane, threw his backpack into the overhead compartment, sat down in a window seat, and fastened his seatbelt.
Outside the window, the lights of the capital city grew farther and farther away, becoming increasingly blurry, until they finally turned into a small patch of golden light on the horizon and then disappeared completely into the clouds.
Above the clouds, the moon was full, and bathed in its gentle light, Su Yu fell into a deep sleep.
When the plane landed in Xiamen, it was just getting light.
Su Yu slept the entire first class flight. When he woke up, his neck was a little stiff, but he was in good spirits.
He walked out of the arrival hall of Gaoqi Airport with his bag on his back. The air in Xiamen still carried a humid warmth.
Tangyuan was already waiting at the door. When Su Yu came out, the car was parked on the side of the road. She spotted Su Yu in the crowd at a glance, rolled down the window, honked the horn twice at Su Yu, and her expression was hard to tell whether it was heartache or schadenfreude.
"Boss Su, welcome back. Director Su sent me a three-page call sheet last night. Your scenes today are scheduled from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., with only a 40-minute lunch break in between."
Su Yu opened the car door, threw his backpack on the back seat, and plopped down in the passenger seat: "Damn, he's really planning to drain me dry."
"Nonsense," Tangyuan started the car and deftly turned the steering wheel.
"You've been gone for a week, and Su Youpeng's schedule is piling up. He's too embarrassed to tell you, so he asked me to pass on his message: 'Xiao Su, I'm really sorry, we're really rushing to meet the deadline here, so I'm sorry to have to make you suffer these past few days.'"
Su Yu leaned back in his chair and gave a bitter laugh: "Oh, so you've learned to be polite first and then resort to force."
"It's all because of you."
Tangyuan glanced at him sideways.
"You don't know, during the week you were gone, the efficiency of the entire crew of 'Left Ear' was cut in half. Ou Hao's side was okay, but Ma Sichun and Chen Duling were both out of sorts, especially Chen Duling. When you weren't around, every take had to be done many times. Director Su was so anxious that he almost pulled out his hair."
Yesterday he told me that if I didn't come back, he was going to buy a plane ticket and fly to the capital to arrest me.
Su Yu coughed twice. He had never imagined that he would be of such great use to the "Left Ear" crew. He would find another opportunity to squeeze Su Youpeng out of him.
As the car turned a corner, the red rooftops of Jimei University appeared in the morning light in the distance.
Looking out the window at the familiar scenery and the youthful campus, Su Yu felt a surge of excitement.
"Oh, right," Tangyuan suddenly remembered something.
"The first scene scheduled on today's call sheet is a scene between you and Chen Duling. Director Su specially arranged a scene between you and Duling as soon as you returned to the set, probably hoping to use your condition to bring Duling back to her original state."
Su Yu nodded. It seemed that Chen Duling's condition was indeed worrying, and Su Youpeng had put her under immense pressure.
As soon as Su Yu opened the car door, he saw a slender figure peek out from the dressing room, glance in his direction, and then dash over like a small motor that had been started.
Chen Duling was wearing Li Er's costume, a simple blue and white school uniform, her hair was tied in a low ponytail, her face was bare, and she didn't even have lipstick on.
Those clear eyes instantly brightened the moment they saw Su Yu.
"Su Yu!!"
She ran up to Su Yu and slammed on the brakes half a step away from him. Only then did she realize that she had been a little too enthusiastic. She put her hands behind her back and nervously clutched the hem of her clothes.
For a little girl like her, the scene just now was quite embarrassing, especially in front of Tangyuan. Her mind went blank for a moment, her hands behind her back clenched and unclenched repeatedly, her lips moved slightly, and finally, facing the morning light, she said four words to Su Yu:
"...You're back!"
Seeing her wanting to get closer but being too shy, Su Yu couldn't help but smile and reached out to ruffle her hair.
"Yeah, you missed me terribly, didn't you?"
Chen Duling blushed deeply after being patted on the head by him, and when she heard Su Yu teasing her, she froze on the spot, not knowing what to do.
Tangyuan seemed to enjoy watching the drama unfold. After Su Yu chased her away, Chen Duling moved closer to Su Yu again, remaining silent for a long time before tilting her head back and carefully examining his face.
"Hmm~ You've lost weight!"
She wrinkled her little nose, her tone carrying a subtle hint of complaint.
"Your dark circles have gotten worse. You're so busy with work and still staying up late playing games?"
"I don't have time to play games, I'm too busy filming."
"Then why do you have such big dark circles under your eyes?"
Su Yu smiled slightly, but before he could say anything, a makeup artist poked her head out from the corridor and said in a half-joking tone:
"Su Yu, you handsome guy! Your makeup is done! Director Su said you need to start work immediately upon arrival, no rest allowed for even a second longer!"
Su Yuchong and Chen Duling shrugged and walked towards the dressing room with their bags.
Chen Duling followed him for two steps, then stopped and secretly watched his back.
She was genuinely happy to see Su Yu.
A feeling of both happiness and peace of mind.
These past few days on set, she hasn't been in a very good state. Sometimes, when Su Youpeng gets pushed too far, he'll directly criticize her. She knows this herself. When Su Yu isn't around, she always feels like she can't find her anchor when she's acting.
Su Youpeng did find her teachers, and even personally demonstrated and guided her, but when she looked at their faces, she could never concentrate, and her mind would easily drift away.
Although she would cooperate with her studies, as a top student, she found it hard to accept the feeling of getting half the results with twice the effort, and secretly and stubbornly hoped for Su Yu.
Now that Su Yu is back, as long as he wears that always clean and crisp white shirt school uniform, all her emotions find their direction the moment she sees him.
It was a strange feeling, she said, she couldn't quite put her finger on it, but in short, her body was more honest than her mind.
