Chapter 35

Chapter 35 – I’m very – easy to please

She hadn’t expected Lin Xia’s abilities to have increased to such an extent in the time they hadn’t seen each other.

“Why are you laughing?” Chu Xi looked confused.

After a long while, Su Yi finally managed to stop laughing, shaking her head as she said, “Later when we’re filming, don’t make any sounds, otherwise if you get chased out I’m not going to care about you.”

This was a scene with her and Wu Ke. The set was ready, the props were in place and standing amidst it all was Wu Ke was in an old-fashioned suit. Upon seeing Su Yi, he said with a smile, “Little Yi, the one beside you is?”

“Sister.” Su Yi smiled pleasantly and tilted her head. “I’m good.”

The scene was only two minutes and one conversation. Both were in good condition, so it flowed smoothly and was passed in the first go.

After it’s over, Su Yi went to change into something else to catch the next scene, and saw Wu Ke standing beside Chu Xi when coming out, saying something with a smile.

Wu Xue followed her, asking, “That’s Director Chu’s sister?”

Su Yi left an affirmative grunt before walking over, just in time to hear Wu Ke’s “Your eyes are really pretty.”

Before Chu Xi spoke, Li Min shouted this way. “Wu Ke, come over here, I’m going to talk about the next scene.”

“Coming.” Before going, Wu Ke left behind, “Little sister, let’s chat later.”

Chat my ass!

Wu Ke had just left when Su Yi turned around and said, “Go wait for me in the make-up room.”

“What!” Chu Xi propped up her chin. “I want to watch you guys film.”

Su Yi said straightforwardly, “I’m afraid Wu Ke would eat you up and not even spit the bones out, I’d be unable to explain that to your brother.”Geett the latest novels at novelhall.com?” Chu Xi looked disgusted and put off. “Relax, I don’t like old men.”

“...”

Wu Xue walked over to Chu Xi and hurried her. “I’ll watch her, you go film, Director Li is asking you to hurry up.”

After his scene, Wu Ke still wanted to go find Chu Xi. Su Yi had yet to manage to speak when Tu Jinglan came up.

“Ke-ge,” Tu Jinglan smiled brightly. She had already changed into something easy, a pink spaghetti strap dress that revealed a lot of skin and then some more when one leaned closer. “Let’s go eat together? I was waiting for you.”

Wu Ke put on a smile too. “Sure, my treat.”

Wu Ke had a very elegant and refined appearance, like a cultured person, the sort of handsome that came from being well-read and completely different from the casanova type. With his good acting skills and strong support team, it’s no wonder so many little girls liked him.

Seeing that the problem had been somewhat resolved by Tu Jinglan, Su Yi no longer stuck around, nodding as a greeting before leaving.

When she came back, the two were no longer in their seats. She had just entered the make-up room when she saw Chu Xi looking at Wu Xue with reverence.

“Really?” Chu Xi said anxiously. “She really redid her whole face? Her fans talk every day about how she’s a completely natural beauty.”

Wu Xue huffed. “Her company has had to spend copious amounts of money every year on this sort of news. Whenever someone questioned it, a huge water army (paid posters) would go up and attack them. So, she has plenty of fans and plenty of haters.”

Su Yi was confused. “Who are you talking about?”

Wu Xue named a currently famous celebrity.

“Why do you like talking about other people so much?” Su Yi sat in front of the mirror, took the make-up remover and started removing her make-up. “What’s wrong with cosmetic surgery, anyone would like to be prettier, it’s normal.”

Chu Xi tsked and leant closer to ask Wu Xue in a whisper. “Did she go for cosmetic surgery too?”

Wu Xue said sincerely, “Actually no.”

“I want to.” Su Yi looked very upset. “Being too beautiful is a burden.”

Chu Xi said, “She really is thick-skinned.”

Su Yi nodded. “If you don’t believe it, you can try it the next time.”

Just when she finished speaking, she heard some short laughter from the other side.

Su Yi paused. “Where are you, why do I hear some other people’s voices.”

Chu Ying held back his laughter. “I’m in a meeting.”

Su Yi was confused, very confused.

Chu Ying opened the phone’s camera and casually moved it around.

She saw more than ten people sitting at the long table, a laptop and a folder in front of every person. They had uniform expressions, as they’re all looking to the front, as if they had no clue what was happening beside. Written clearly on their face was “We really heard nothing, please relax it’s all fine”.

[E/D: am still laughing imagining this scene, by far my fav]

Su Yi paused for two seconds before she hung up.

Chu Ying smiled briefly and sent her a message. When he put the phone back into his front pocket, his smile vanished in a jiffy. “Continue reporting.”

At once the mood in the office went from light to heavy.

The assistant was long since used to this. His boss was basically a face-shifting monster.

Su Yi went back to the room with her phone.

Wu Xue couldn’t help teasing her. “Are you serious, just a call and your face can become this red?”

Chu Xi was sitting sideways on the sofa, focused on her phone.

“Maybe I haven’t gotten all my makeup off.” Su Yi covered her face with her hands. “Why don’t you go back to your room?”

“I have something to discuss with you.” Wu Xue took out a little notebook from her bag. “Look at it, I have written it down.”

“What?”

“Isn’t it your birthday soon?” Wu Xue said. “These are birthday plans suggested by the company, there’re three, pick one.”

Su Yi was a little surprised. “It’s so soon?”

She flipped through those. The three were almost the same, the only difference being the venue and the events happening.

Actually, she hadn’t had many birthdays when she was young. It was only after she became an actress that she celebrated her birthday more, though rather than calling it a celebration it would be more accurate to term it as a ‘meet-up with fans’. Every year there would be a couple dozens of her fans celebrating together at some place, considered a bonus for the fans.

She hesitated, then said, “This year I want to celebrate my birthday by myself.”

Wu Xue said, “That’s not too good, you’ve always spent it with your fans. Recently there’s plenty of fans on your Weibo asking when the sign-ups for this year’s party will begin.”

“What age is this?” Chu Xi said without looking up. “Still holding parties? If you really want to thank your fans, do a livestream, your safety’s guaranteed and it doesn’t limit the number of people who wish to join.”

“Oh that actually sounds like a good idea.” Wu Xue’s eyes brightened. “It’s just nice that recently there’s a live streaming platform looking for celebrities to livestream.”

After she finished speaking, she didn’t wait for Su Yi to react before happily rushing out to call the company.

Su Yi came back to herself, sat down beside Chu Xi and asked, “What do you need to do in a livestream?”

She had only been to livestreams for magazine interviews with a host beside her. She really had no idea how to do a livestream on her own.

“Sing, chat or play games.” Chu Xi looked a little disgusted. “You can’t have ‘not watched livestreams’?”

“No. I don’t sing well, I can chat, as for games...” Su Yi felt embarrassed and in a bid to find something that she could do, she said, “Is it okay to livestream Pair-Up/Pair-Match or Link-Up?”

Chu Xi was speechless.
