80. I'm not that calm

Ge Fei stepped forward to stop her. "It's not even dark yet, what are you doing in your room so early?" "Writing a script! The weather forecast says it's going to rain tomorrow, so I have to revise the plot, adjust the character settings and the dialogue. It's not about whoever makes a mistake, who is responsible; it's about who cares more about the result, and who has to pay for the mistakes of others. You are my client, so I am also responsible for your budget. One more day of labor and equipment will cost a lot more budget, and I have to rearrange it - an idea that exceeds the budget is not a good idea!" Ling Ling pushed him away rudely, swiped the room card and walked in. Ge Fei was still saying that he would accompany her, but he was shocked half a meter away by the sound of the door slamming. He had no choice but to return to his room dejectedly. Ling Ling had been working in her room all the time. During this time, Ge Fei came to bring her food twice, but she ruthlessly yelled him away both times without even opening the door. At one o'clock in the morning, Ling Ling finally finished revising the script. She looked out the window at the rain and wind, praying that the weather would be better tomorrow. There was another knock on the door, and she opened it impatiently. She opened her mouth to curse, but was shocked by the man standing in front of her. "Yu Chuanbei--" She looked at Yu Chuanbei with wet hair in surprise, dragging his suitcase and standing at her door panting. "Why are you here?" "I got off the plane and drove the car parked at the airport." He did not answer her question directly, and the rain dripped down his hair to the corners of his lips. She did not care about so much, and quickly pulled him into the room, "Take off your coat quickly, you see you are soaked. Why don't you bring an umbrella?" "There is no umbrella in the car. I just parked the car in front of this guesthouse and got wet when I ran in. The rain was too heavy." Ling Ling noticed that Yu Chuanbei looked around the room while speaking. "What are you looking for? Ge Fei?" She couldn't help laughing, and he looked a little embarrassed at being found out. Ling Ling fetched a dry towel from the bathroom and wiped his hair, complaining to him worriedly, "It's raining so hard, it's dark, and the road is mountainous. Why did you come all this way? Do you know how dangerous it is? I don't want such affection! Or are you really that worried about me? You're risking your life to come check on me in the middle of the night?" "No, I just..." He grasped her busy hand, feeling a little embarrassed to speak out what was in his heart. Ling Ling shook his hand off in anger. No matter what the reason, it wasn't worth the risk of traveling all night. She turned and walked to the desk to turn on the hot water kettle again. Yu Chuanbei suddenly hugged her tightly from behind, whispering a complaint in her ear...

Ge Fei stepped forward to stop her, "It's not even dark yet, why are you staying in your room so early?"

"Write the script! The weather forecast says it will rain tomorrow, so I have to revise the plot and adjust the character settings and dialogues. It's not that whoever makes a mistake is responsible; it depends on who cares more about the result and who can only pay for the mistakes of others. You are my client, so I am also responsible for your budget. One more day of manpower and equipment will cost a lot more budget, and I have to rearrange it - ideas that exceed the budget are not good ideas!" Ling Ling pushed him away rudely, swiped the room card and walked in.

Ge Fei was still talking about staying with her when he was thrown back half a meter by the slamming door. He had no choice but to return to his room dejectedly.

Ling Ling had been staying in her room creating. During this time, Ge Fei came to deliver her meals twice, but she ruthlessly yelled him away without even opening the door.

At one in the morning, Ling Ling finally finished revising the script. She looked out the window at the wind and rain, praying that the weather would improve tomorrow.

There was another knock on the door, and she impatiently went to open it. She opened her mouth to curse, but was shocked by the man standing in front of her.

"Yu Chuanbei—" She looked in surprise at Yu Chuanbei, whose hair was soaked, standing breathlessly at her door, dragging his suitcase. "Why are you here?"

"I got off the plane and drove here in the car parked at the airport." He didn't answer her question directly. The rain dripped from the ends of his hair to the corners of his lips.

She didn't care about that and quickly pulled him into the room. "Take off your coat quickly. You're soaked. Why didn't you bring an umbrella?"

"It's not in the car. I just parked my car in front of this B&B and got wet when I ran in. It was raining so hard."

Ling Ling noticed that Yu Chuanbei looked around the room while speaking.

"What are you looking for? Ge Fei?" She couldn't help but laugh, and he looked a little embarrassed at being found out.

Ling Ling took a dry towel from the bathroom and wiped his hair, complaining to him worriedly, "It's raining so hard, it's dark, and the road is mountainous. Why did you come here? Do you know how dangerous it is? I don't want such a touching feeling! Or are you really that worried about me? You risked your life to come check on me in the middle of the night?"

"No, I just..." He held her busy hands, feeling a little embarrassed to say what was in his heart.

Ling Ling shook off his hand angrily. No matter what the reason was, it was not worth it for him to take such a risk and travel overnight.

She turned and walked to the desk and turned on the heating switch of the cold kettle again.

Yu Chuanbei suddenly hugged her tightly from behind and whispered resentfully in her ear, "I'm just too afraid that you'll be snatched away. I've been so restless these past few days that I haven't acted so calm. When I saw the two of you walking out of the company that day, holding the same drink, I was actually jealous to the point of going crazy. I heard these past few days that you were staying in the same guesthouse, and I'm so scared. I'm afraid that if I'm gone for a few days and come back, you won't be mine anymore."

"Silly boy." Ling Ling couldn't help but tease him. She turned around, hooked her soft wrist around his neck, and said coquettishly, "Do you lack confidence in me, or in yourself?"

"To myself," Yu Chuanbei said frankly, "I always feel that Ge Fei is an upgraded version of me. I've seen his tricks in pursuing girls. When I was studying in Hong Kong, he even helped me win over my girlfriend. I'm really afraid that if you're with him too often, you'll gradually feel that I'm not good enough."

"Did you use the same greasy methods as Ge Fei to pursue girls?" Ling Ling asked, teasing him.

Yu Chuanbei immediately realized that he had been asked another fatal question. His mind raced, and he suppressed his guilty conscience as he replied, "So I haven't found anyone who's truly soul-matched with me yet! I'm just waiting to meet you."

"Oh - then what tricks did you use after you met me?" Ling Ling interrogated him with interest.

"My only trick is sincerity." He said, lowering his head to kiss her.

Ling Ling quickly dodged and said sarcastically, "If you say that, you're being dishonest."

"Why not be honest? My body and soul are as honest to you. I really miss you, so very much." The tip of his nose rubbed against her earlobe.

Ling Ling was tickled by his teasing and laughed at him, "Why is Mr. Yu so childish today?"

"Is there?"

"Yes, I have."

"Where is it?"

Ling Ling was about to respond when his lips blocked hers. He sucked her hungrily, the cool rain water quickly heating up between their lips and teeth.

"You're too wet." She tried to push away his wet body soaked with rain.

"What about you?" He reached down.

This was the most anxious time Ling Ling had ever been to see Yu Chuanbei. He frantically fumbled with the buttons of her clothes, wanting to tear them off. He pushed her down and fell heavily onto the bed. She felt his strong possessiveness.

"You're too impatient and you're hurting me. How come I'm not all yours?" She cleared her throat and moaned softly under him. It was originally a plea for mercy, but it sounded more stimulating to him.

He showed no mercy. He only wanted to possess her quickly and permanently, and no one could take her away from him.

*~*~*~*~*~*~

The next morning, Ge Fei opened his door and as soon as Ling Ling's door opened, he immediately stood up to greet her. Before he could smile after seeing Ling Ling, Yu Chuanbei's subsequent appearance made his expression freeze.

"Why are you here?" Ge Fei asked him angrily.

"I missed my girlfriend, so I came to see her. Fortunately, she was willing to open the door for me." Yu Chuanbei said this lightly, which really made Ge Fei furious.

Ling Ling treated the two childish men as air, walked around them and went straight to the elevator. She had to quickly tell the director about the scenes to be shot for today's commercial, coordinate all the process nodes for today, and try to finish work before dawn.

Yu Chuanbei hurriedly caught up with her and held her hand tightly.

When Ling Ling's cheek touched Yu Chuanbei's shoulder, she found that his clothes were still a little damp. She said distressedly, "Your clothes are not dry yet. It's uncomfortable to wear them like this. I should have helped you dry them last night."

"I didn't have time last night." Yu Chuanbei smiled at her cunningly.

Ling Ling glared at him, looking as if she didn't want to pay any attention to him.

Ge Fei was originally waiting for the elevator behind them, but he was so angry that he turned around and took the stairs to the fire escape.

The shooting location is in an ancient corridor. The rain has subsided, the sky is suddenly bright, the round lotus leaves are shedding dew, and a couple with slender eyebrows and eyes are hugging pillows to keep them warm and whispering to each other under the eaves.

Ling Ling stayed by the director's side, closely monitoring the smoothness of the dialogue and the actors' performances. She and the production staff went through each shot, and once they had a rough draft, they gave it to Ge Fei for confirmation.

Yu Chuanbei found a bench and sat in a corner, tapping away on his laptop to work overtime. Seeing that they were so busy they hadn't even had time for lunch, he quietly ordered takeout, brought it from the door, and shared it with everyone.

The production team's colleagues kept praising Yu Chuanbei, saying that Lingling's family was so handsome and thoughtful. Ge Fei was extremely dissatisfied and cursed these ungrateful people in his heart.

Yu Chuanbei saved some for himself and Lingling, and handed the last set meal to Ge Fei. Ge Fei took it grumpily, but walked straight to the small table Yu Chuanbei had set up earlier and sat down between Lingling and Yu Chuanbei's seats.

Ling Ling washed her hands and came over to prepare for dinner. She couldn't help laughing when she saw these two men, both about 1.8 meters tall, with their long legs tucked under the simple small table, sitting on cheap plastic stools and eating country lunch boxes.

Ling Ling pretended nothing had happened and sat down to eat her lunch box. At the same time, she was swiping her phone to choose clothes for the actors to wear in the next scene.

"Don't look at your phone while eating." Yu Chuanbei and Ge Fei said this to her almost at the same time.

Then the two of them glared at each other and continued to eat.

Ling Ling couldn't stand the weird atmosphere. She put her elbows on her knees and said bluntly like a big sister: "What are you two doing? Is this childish fun?"

"Hey, don't blame me. I was just passively responding to the challenge." Yu Chuanbei tried to distance himself from the matter.

"Since the war has already started, let's fight to the end and decide the winner." Ge Fei was unwilling to be outdone.

Ling Ling continued to speak in a mature and steady manner: "Ge Fei, as a friend, I admire you very much. You are good-looking, quick-witted, and have a good personality..."

"What about as a boyfriend?" Ge Fei suddenly said.

Yu Chuanbei tutted in dissatisfaction and then cursed at him: "Do you really think I won't beat you up?"
