Chapter 81 Seeking Comfort
"Su Yu!!"
Jing Tian, her eyes red, accused the camera:
"It's all because of Zheng!! Waaaaah, I even chose an auspicious day—you were going back to the capital tomorrow—but now I'm in Hengdian, it's completely out of sync!"
"Didn't you say the cameo role would only last a few days?"
"Yes! Just a few days!"
Jing Tian became more and more aggrieved as she spoke. She took a tissue to wipe her tears, and after wiping them away, she looked at the screen with red eyes again.
"But you're only staying in the capital for a week! I've only been gone a few days, and it just so happens that you're back during those few days! Su Yu, tell me, does Yu Zheng have a grudge against me?!"
Su Yu leaned against the bed, looking at Jing Tian who was both teary-eyed and sulking, and gave her a quick kiss through the screen:
"Alright, alright, stop crying," Su Yu said indulgently, as if coaxing a child.
"It's only a few days. I'll probably be staying in the capital longer this time. How about I pick you up when you return?"
"real?"
"Really, whether it's the high-speed rail station or the airport, just tell me the location and I'll come pick you up."
Jing Tian sniffed, and her tears finally stopped a little.
She looked at Su Yu on the screen and said softly, "Then you have to take good care of yourself, don't lose weight again."
"Understood, housekeeper."
"You're the one who's a busybody!"
Jing Tian stopped crying and started laughing. She grabbed a cushion and pretended to smash the screen, but stopped halfway. Then she hugged the cushion to her chest, rested her chin on it, and muttered something under her breath.
"Su Yu, I miss you so much."
Jing Tian spoke very softly, and subconsciously glanced around, as if afraid of being overheard, or as if afraid that she would burst into tears if she continued speaking.
An assistant was calling her name on the other end of the screen. She turned around and answered, then quickly kissed the screen and abruptly ended the video call.
After hanging up the phone, Su Yu took a deep breath.
These past few days in Xiamen, Su Yu has been like a god of war, not only making up for the progress he missed in the past week, but also taking advantage of the efficiency of the increase in the number of entries, he has finished filming all the scenes that he was supposed to finish in Xiamen next time. In other words, if Su Youpeng doesn't send him any more notices, the next time he sees the cast of "The Left Ear" will not be in Xiamen.
That night, Su Yu's door was knocked on by Chen Duling and Ma Sichun.
In the few days since Su Yu returned, he has not only become the backbone of the crew, but also accompanied Chen Duling to almost every scene. Gradually, he has also become her backbone. After Su Yu left, she felt empty again. After thinking it over, she still knocked on Su Yu's door.
"Looking for comfort~"
"Call me anytime if you encounter any difficulties." Su Yu held up his hand to his ear, making a phone gesture, and looked at Chen Duling, who was sitting on the sofa looking aggrieved.
"I wish you could stay here forever..."
Chen Duling lowered her head and muttered softly.
"Then how will you get a job after you leave me?"
"No way!"
The thought of having to make her way in the entertainment industry alone in the future made Chen Duling immediately shake her head in horror.
Su Yu smiled, stood up, and ruffled her hair. "Alright, don't think about that far ahead. We have to get up early tomorrow. Let's go back to sleep."
Seeing Chen Duling reluctantly get up, Su Yu couldn't help but tease her:
"I don't want to leave. Why don't you sleep here?"
As a result, the girl turned around and looked at Su Yu with some eagerness. Seeing the worry in her eyes replaced by a glint of light, Su Yu instantly thought of how she looked when she was playing games.
Sure enough, they came back to life as soon as they stopped talking about work.
The next second, there was another knock on the door. Chen Duling's face instantly turned bright red, and she looked at Su Yu in a flustered manner. Su Yu gave her a reassuring look and then asked:
Who is it?
After a long silence from the other side, Su Yu had no choice but to go and open the door. As expected, it was Ma Sichun outside, but Su Yu was quite surprised to see her wearing a long trench coat despite the hot weather.
Upon seeing Su Yu, she didn't say anything, just smiled at her, and then slipped inside on her own as before.
"Hey, Sister Sichun, good evening..."
Chen Duling looked at Ma Sichun, who had slipped in, and smiled awkwardly.
"Hey, you're here too?" Ma Sichun turned around and punched Su Yu.
"You've got a real charmer hiding away!"
"Don't talk nonsense. I'm leaving tomorrow. Duling came over to ask me something."
"Oh, what a coincidence, me too!"
Ma Sichun chuckled, and Chen Duling immediately said, "I've finished asking my questions. Sichun, you two chat. I'm going back to rest now!"
After Chen Duling left, Ma Sichun moved closer to Su Yu, smiling as she opened her trench coat: "Do you like it?"
Hey!
They must be rewarded handsomely!
......
The next morning, Su Yu took the earliest flight back to the capital.
It was still sweltering. When he walked out of the arrival hall, a dry, hot wind hit him in the face, making it almost unbearable. Su Yu hailed a taxi and headed straight to the film set.
Zheng Baorui and Luo Yongchang had been waiting for a while. Upon seeing Su Yu, Zheng Baorui sized him up:
"Young people are great! They're flying around both places and still have so much energy!"
Upon hearing that Su Yu had returned, Dilraba rushed out of the dressing room like a whirlwind, excitedly saying:
"Su Yu~ You're finally back! I was so bored these past two days with Sister Mi away!"
Only after she said that did Su Yu realize that he hadn't seen Yang Mi on set. He had heard from Dilraba that Yang Mi had a business event in Shanghai and wouldn't be back until tomorrow.
The day's filming went smoothly.
Although Zhang Qiling didn't have many scenes or lines, Su Yu filmed each scene very steadily, and most importantly, the scenes were high-quality. Luo Yongchang sat behind the monitor for a whole day, and for the first time ever, he kept grinning.
It was already dark when they finished work. Su Yu stood at the entrance of the film set and habitually glanced at the roadside.
At this time, Jing Tian's car should already be parked on the side of the road. When she sees Su Yu, the car window will automatically roll down, revealing a sweet smile on her face.
But today the roadside is empty. In Beijing, where autumn has already arrived, only a single ginkgo leaf is blown up by the wind, swirls around, and falls back down.
Su Yu took out his phone and sent Jing Tian a message:
You've wrapped up work. How's it going in Hengdian?
Jing Tian returned shortly after. First, she posted a beautiful selfie of herself in her period costume. Then, taking advantage of the empty dressing room, she recorded a video for Su Yu, pulling open the collar of her costume to show him her smooth shoulders.
"Look! The brace is too tight today, your shoulders are all chafed and red, aren't they?"
Su Yu comforted her for a few words, and then she sent him a bunny hugging emoji before turning around and going back to work.
After putting down his phone, Su Yu left the film set. Still unsure where to go, he simply hailed a taxi and went straight to the apartment complex where Li Yitong lived.
The ginkgo trees downstairs are already turning yellow, shining brightly under the streetlights.
The hallway was filled with the aroma of scallions from the residents' cooking, just like when he had visited before.
He climbed the stairs with practiced ease, stood in front of Li Yitong's door, and took a deep breath.
This time, however, he didn't knock. Instead, he took out his key and inserted it into the lock.
