Chapter 41 – Very happy.

Su Yi had always done things decisively. The very same day when they returned to the hotel after filming, she had An Xuan pack and leave.

As An Xuan sniffled while packing, sat to the side, comforting her. “Stop crying, it’s fine, you’ll never meet a boss as fierce as me.”

Wu Xue didn’t manage to stop her bark of laughter.

An Xuan felt even worse then, her voice hoarse as she asked, “Yi-jie, you really can’t give me one more chance?”

Seeing that she was crying this hard, Su Yi didn’t want to put things too harshly. “Tomorrow there’s no need to follow me to the set, when do you intend to return to Beijing? I’ll pay for the ticket.”

This was basically putting an end to the topic.

An Xuan knew there was no room for negotiation anymore, and shook her head. “I’m not returning to Beijing yet.”

Oh yeah, she forgot that the other’s boyfriend was still here.

She nodded. “Sure, then let Wu Xue know when you intend to return, let her help you book the tickets. If you have nowhere else to stay, you can stay here for the time being.”Fịndd new updates at novelhall.com

Having said that, she turned and left; Wu Xue followed her out.

“For your next assistant I’ll pick someone more experienced.” Wu Xue contemplated. “At least I need to pick one that won’t lose their job because they’re dating someone.”

Su Yi nodded. “Do as you wish. Oh by the way you’ve been here for this long with me, why aren’t you flying back to Beijing?”

“What for?” Wu Xue shrugged. “My parents have returned to stay in Hainan.”

Su Yi side-eyed her but said nothing more.

Thinking about it carefully, they had been here for this long, and she had yet to see Wu Xue give Liu Minghao a call.

When Su Yi returned to the room, Chu Xi was playing a game on her phone.

Seeing her enter, Chu Xi asked, “You really sacked that assistant?”

“What, I would fake sacking her?” She tied her hair up. “You’ve stayed here for so long, when do you plan on returning?”

“I’m not getting in your way, why are you chasing me away?” After saying that, Chu Xi felt that something was off. Raising her head, she said, “Besides, I didn’t come here to find you. And you promised to teach me how to deal with that rubbish guy.”

Every time Chu Xi’s ex-boyfriend was brought up, Su Yi couldn’t help wanting to laugh. “You still need to deal with him?”

“What do you mean?” Chu Xi asked, a little miffed.

“Relax, he has nothing good waiting for him, just give it a while.”

Just when Chu Xi wanted to clarify more, the phone rang – it’s a WeChat notification.

She opened it and took a look, and was first mildly surprised, before she started smiling.

“Guess, who sent me a message?” Then without waiting for Su Yi to reply she answered herself. “Yang Ruolin.”

This name was one Su Yi was familiar with. She imperceptibly raised an eyebrow, looking unfazed. “Oh.”

Chu Xi didn’t think that this would be her reaction. “Aren’t you curious?”

Little girls were the most fun to tease. Keeping her tone even, Su Yi said, “She’s looking for you, not Chu Ying, why should I be curious?”

Chu Xi was almost turning blue with frustration. “You don’t want to know what she said to me?”

“What is there to say to a little girl like you?”

“She asked me, what is the relationship between you and my brother.” Chu Xi blurted out, unable to wait anymore. “She also said that she’s bringing me gifts, she’s trying to butter me up!”

Her meaning was clear: Why aren’t you doing so?

Su Yi’s livestream had caused quite a stir on the web. Even now, that short footage of Chu Ying appearing in the video was on the hot topic list, anyone on Weibo would see it. And since Yang Ruolin had named her directly, it was even less possible for her not to know about her relationship with Chu Ying.

She sat down opposite Chu Xi. “Tell me about this Yang Ruolin again.”

Chu Xi smiled. “Aren’t you unbothered?”

“No wonder you’re always worried about An Xuan.” Su Yi smiled too. “It looks like you intend to return to Beijing with her.”

“... didn’t I tell you before, she used to stay near us and followed my brother every day. But the games my brother played were shooting guns and jumping over horses, he refused to bring her along every time.”

The image of a little Chu Ying frowning, shaking his head as he refused, instantly appeared in Su Yi’s mind. She even imagined the words he’d have said- “You’re too bad at this, I don’t want to play with you.”

She sneered out loud, and even after covering her mouth she couldn’t stop herself from spluttering.

Chu Xi asked, “... what are you laughing about?”

Su Yi’s expression remained cold, and she said nothing.

Li Min nodded. “Then you go back and take a break, we’ll resume filming later.”

It was not that Li Min couldn’t see what was happening. As a director, Su Yi was an actor she liked, and she was willing to make an exception for Su Yi when picking characters, but other than that she would not do anything.

Su Yi returned to the room, her complexion extremely bad.

Chu Xi was confused. “What is it?”

Wu Xue closed the door, handing her a cup of warm water. “Don’t be upset with someone like that, it’s not worth it.”

Usually, Su Yi would have been able to handle it. She had been in the entertainment industry for quite a while, what sort of actor hadn’t she met before?

But when sick, all of a person’s bad temper would magnify. Keeping it in was hard, and only by spilling it out could she gain some peace.

She took the water, downed it in one gulp and went to sit in a corner. “Nothing’s wrong with me, just let me sit alone for a while.”

She hadn’t sat for too long before receiving a message from Chu Ying.

[Chu Ying: What are you doing?]

[Goddess Su Yi: Filming on the set.]

The reply came really quick.

[Chu Ying: What happened?]

Su Yi was taken mildly aback. [How do you know...]

[Chu Ying: You didn’t send an emoticon.]

[Chu Ying: What is it, tell me.]

Su Yi rubbed her nose.

[Goddess Su Yi: I’m sick.]

[Goddess Su Yi: Fever, I feel horrible.]

[Goddess Su Yi: Wailing.jpg]

Her messages were sent in little chunks.

In the past when she ran into some issue, be it due to illness or some other work-related things, she never spoke about it to those around her. This was because she was well aware that these were things only she could resolve. Others had no duty to help her share the burden of that negativity.

But facing Chu Ying, she was strangely unable to hold it back.

[Goddess Su Yi: And this week I can’t see you.]

The more she said the less she was able to hold back. After typing away on her keyboard, she sent a series of messages in one breath.

Then held her phone, obediently waiting for a reply.

Five minutes passed, the phone still didn’t light up. She couldn’t believe it, and kept checking the phone screen, but the other didn’t send a single word back.

She thought about it, then opened up the dialogue box and entered ‘you’re busy’. She had yet to add a question mark when she felt a cold sensation on her forehead. It’s very comfortable.

A huge hand covered her forehead. She had yet to react when the guy spoke in a low voice.

“It’s burning hot, why are you on the set?”

Perhaps due to the fever, her thought process was a little slow. It took her a long while to slowly turn her head around.

The person behind her bore a huge resemblance to her boyfriend.

No no, he seemed to be... actually her boyfriend.

Chu Ying saw that she was still dazed, frowned a little and shifted his hand down, putting it on her face.

“Pack up, we’re leaving.”

Su Yi’s eyes reddened instantaneously, her tears gushing out at once and refusing to stop no matter how she tried.

She got busy keeping her head down, wiping away her tears.

She knew she was being unreasonable.

She’s so happy.
