Chapter 47: Secretly in Love with Our Current Script
The original project was completed efficiently in half the time. Jiang Xunzhou gave the other staff members of the project team a holiday and bought a plane ticket to return to the crew at the nearest time.
He had wanted to give Yu You a surprise and hadn't announced his return in advance. But upon landing at the airport, he was recognized by Yu You's fans: "Mr. Jiang, are you visiting Little Fish Baby on set?"
Jiang Xunzhou had no choice but to nod and admit: "Yes."
Most of the fans who came to this area wanted to pick up Yu You from get off work and pass on letters. When they met Jiang Xunzhou, they excitedly rushed over and asked Jiang Xunzhou to help pass on the letters.
Before Jiang Xunzhou arrived at the crew, the news that he was surrounded by Yu You's fans spread.
Yu You heard about it during a break in filming and texted Jiang Xunzhou on her phone: "Husband, you're back!!"
Then there are a lot of kissing emoticons.
Jiang Xunzhou: [Well, I wanted to give you a surprise, but I didn't expect to be recognized by your fans.]
Jiang Xunzhou: [I'm going to take out some pineapple fried rice from your favorite chain restaurant. It'll be there in about two hours.]
Yu You: [Husband, I love you!!]
Jiang Xunzhou: [Do you love me or pineapple fried rice?]
Yu You was secretly complaining about this person comparing her to pineapple fried rice, but she replied sweetly: "Of course I love my husband."
Jiang Xunzhou: [The store owner suddenly said that there was only one serving of pineapple fried rice left, so I can have this later.]
Yu You suspected Jiang Xunzhou was teasing him again, but then he thought, "What if?" He hesitated and asked, "Is there really only one left?"
Jiang Xunzhou: [Really.]
Yu You: [ToT]
Yu You: [Hubby, you eat. I'm having a great time on the set. I don't get tired of eating boxed lunches every day. I'm really happy.]
The filming location for this suspense drama is remote, but the team is professional and targets movie standards. The shots are repeatedly polished without exhausting the actors. They finish work at around 6 pm every day to give them ample rest time. They are also equipped with a team of chefs to provide the leading actors with special fat-reducing lunch boxes. In addition, with the generous investment from Xingtian Entertainment, the lunch box types are rich and indeed not bad.
But there are only a few fat-reducing dishes, and I've been eating the same way for ten days or half a month...
Yu You stared at the screen expectantly, hoping Jiang Xunzhou would understand what he meant.
Jiang Xunzhou replied: [Okay, thank you, baby. Today's pineapple fried rice looks and smells delicious. I'm happy to help you eat it.]
Yu You read Jiang Xunzhou's reply again in shock.
What?
Doesn't Jiang Xunzhou love him anymore?
"Teacher Yu, it's time to get ready—"
The staff reminded him of the next scene. Yu You hurriedly responded and sent a message to Jiang Xunzhou: [Honey, I'm going to shoot the next scene. Let's talk later! ! ]
Jiang Xunzhou: [Okay, keep up the good work on filming.]
Yu You put down his phone and got into work mode. After finishing the afternoon scene, he hurried to change his clothes. When removing his makeup, he snorted his face like a sea otter washing his face.
Shi Sanlin's eyelids twitched as he watched: "Hey, Xiao Yu, be gentler."
Yu You hummed twice, slowing down his movements, and asked, "Has Jiang Xunzhou arrived at the hotel?"
"I'll ask Assistant Wan." Shi Sanlin tapped his phone. "Assistant Wan called back and said CEO Jiang just got in the elevator."
Yu You's technique, which had just slowed down, quickly sped up again.
Shi Sanlin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Knowing that Yu You was anxious to go back, he stopped trying to persuade him. He sighed, "You and CEO Jiang are acting too genuinely in love. If I hadn't known from the beginning that you were going public with your relationship to cover up that hotel incident, I would have thought you two were in a free relationship."
He smiled innocently again, "I even arranged for some big fans to warn you and Mr. Jiang that you would definitely break up, so that it would be easier for you to break up after the hype died down. I didn't expect that not only would you get engaged, but your relationship would also be getting stronger and stronger."
Yu You exclaimed, "Ah?" and suddenly realized.
No wonder after they made their relationship public, there were always fans advising him to film more and date less and not to trust men. Even after they announced their engagement, there were still sporadic voices of concern. It turned out that this was because Shi Sanlin had previously arranged for big fans to guide the public opinion in private.
Yu You said embarrassedly: "At the beginning, Mr. Jiang and I had planned to separate, but plans can't keep up with changes, and it turned out like this."
He also didn't expect that he would be with Jiang Xunzhou until today.
Yu You received the lunch box and got on the car back to the crew hotel with excitement.
Yu You: [Honey, I'm on my way back! ! ]
Jiang Xunzhou: [Yeah, I just packed my luggage, took a shower and will wait for you.]
Yu You is shy.
It’s only six o’clock in the afternoon and I haven’t eaten yet. That’s not a good idea, right?
They've only been apart for a week or so, and Jiang Xunzhou misses him so much?
Yu You's face was a little hot. He carried the lunch box back to the room. As soon as he opened the door, he ran into Jiang Xunzhou walking towards him in a bathrobe.
"Baby."
A few strands of Jiang Xunzhou's hair, damp with moisture, fell down in front of his forehead. His deep face held a smile as he opened his arms and said, "Come, give me a hug."
Yu You smiled with her eyes curved. She walked over a few steps, bumped into Jiang Xunzhou's arms and hugged him, then raised her face and said, "Kiss me, husband."
Jiang Xunzhou put his arm around his waist, lowered his head, kissed the corner of his lips, and whispered, "Are you hungry?"
The voice was low and contained some kind of temptation. Yu You blushed when he heard it and whispered, "Why don't we eat first? I've been filming all day and I'm afraid I won't have the energy to do it later."
Jiang Xunzhou was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and chuckled softly: "What are you thinking about?"
She took the lunch box bag from his hand, held Yu You's hand with her other hand, and led him inside: "Sit down and eat, I'm hungry too."
On the wooden table was the pineapple fried rice packed from the city center, golden and garnished with orange carrot cubes and green peas, exuding a sweet aroma in the air.
It turns out there is only one copy.
Yu You forced himself to look away and began to recall what the crew had informed him about the contents of today's lunch box. Then Jiang Xunzhou forced him to sit on the stool in front of the pineapple fried rice and stuffed a spoon into his hand.
"Um?"
Yu You raised his face in confusion.
Jiang Xunzhou sat down opposite him and opened the crew lunch box. He raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Celery and shrimp, boiled vegetables, and pan-fried chicken breast. Not bad."
Yu You looked at the pineapple fried rice in front of him, and the corners of his lips curled up: "Can I have this?"
"What else?" Jiang Xunzhou found it funny. "Of course it's for you."
Yu You snorted twice, stretched his legs under the table, bumped Jiang Xunzhou's knee, and said, "Do you think it's funny to tease me?"
"I'm not kidding. I did want to steal your pineapple fried rice, but I thought about it carefully halfway through." Jiang Xunzhou said slowly, "I've been working out recently, and I don't want to let my efforts go to waste. Your lunch box is more suitable for me."
Then he said meaningfully, "I'll let the baby come and check how my muscles are doing later."
Yu You scooped a large spoonful of pineapple fried rice into his mouth and said stubbornly, "It doesn't look good at first glance. I don't want to help you check it."
Jiang Xunzhou asked, "Who is that guy in the video who always asks me to lift my clothes to see my abs?"
"Who is it?" Yu You pretended to be dumbfounded, "Do you have someone else outside?"
If they weren't still at the dining table, Jiang Xunzhou would have wanted to press Yu You on his legs and spank him.
You are so brave to say such things.
But Yu You still looked at him with a pair of innocent eyes.
Jiang Xunzhou was at a loss as to what to do with him. He sighed, "Who dares to push people in my place? Everyone knows my wife is very strict at home. Anyone with a little sense wouldn't even bring their lover near me."
Yu You exclaimed, "Are they so sensible?"
Jiang Xunzhou said, "There's a saying called 'appeasing someone's taste.' When they heard that my relationship was stable, they only brought their wives along, using it as a starting point for conversation."
He complimented him on his good relationship with Yu You, and indirectly showed off his love for his wife, using this as a common point in an attempt to spark a conversation.
Jiang Xunzhou was not surprised by such tactics and was happy to see such a situation - it was better than seeing them bringing some shady lovers over and making the atmosphere chaotic.
Yu You thought of what Shi Sanlin had said today and laughed, "Brother Shi said this today. He never thought we'd make it this far. I told him to wait until the hype died down before we parted ways, but it never did. Brother Shi even arranged for some big fans to spread the word, but it never worked."
"Vaccination?"
Jiang Xunzhou also knew the tricks in the circle and quickly understood. He was both amused and sad: "No wonder there are always fans who worry that you will break up with me, asking you to save more resources and not indulge in love. Some of your fans will monitor my status and are more worried than you about other scandals."
Yu You smiled a little embarrassedly: "I just found out about this today too, don't blame Brother Shi."
"No, I really didn't expect it to get to this point at the beginning." Jiang Xunzhou's expression softened. "From the agent's perspective, he did the right thing. There are some things that fans can say more directly than him. He is also worried about you."
Yu You scooped another large spoonful of pineapple fried rice, chewed it contentedly, and nudged Jiang Xunzhou's leg with his knee. He said, "It can't be helped. I initially portrayed myself as someone who had a crush on you in front of Brother Shi. He was afraid that I would fall in love and get hurt if we finally separated."
He remembered something and reminded me, "The night before we got engaged, Brother Shi even congratulated me on my secret crush coming true. We hadn't spoken about it at that time. I was saying that you got engaged to me because your family was pressuring you to do so. Don't let Brother Shi know."
"Secret crush?"
Jiang Xunzhou's lips curled slightly: "You treat your secret crush like you won't even give her a spoonful of pineapple fried rice?"
"Here, here, here."
Yu You scooped a spoonful of golden rice, mixed in a pineapple and a shrimp, and handed it over respectfully: "I'd like to treat my secret crush, Mr. Jiang, to pineapple fried rice."
He completely forgot that this pineapple fried rice was brought to him by Jiang Xunzhou.
Jiang Xunzhou lowered his head, ate the spoonful of fried rice that Yu You handed him, and said cooperatively, "Our current scenario is that you had a crush on me before, and then I liked you too, and it became a mutual crush. We half-heartedly gave in, and then turned the fake play into real and got engaged. How is it?"
Yu You nodded in satisfaction: "That's good. You are my secret crush, and I am your secret crush, so we are even."
Like another form of drinking the wedding wine, Jiang Xunzhou picked up a piece of pan-fried chicken breast with chopsticks and asked politely, "Then, would my secret crush, Xiaoyu Baby, like some chicken breast?"
It seemed as if Yu You's eating of the chicken breast formally established their mutual secret love relationship.
Yu You showed a wary look on his face and quickly took away his pineapple fried rice: "Whoever wants to eat chicken breast can have it. Even if you are my secret crush, I won't eat it even if you give it to me!"
He moved so quickly, as if he was afraid that Jiang Xunzhou would slip the chicken breast into his fragrant pineapple fried rice while he wasn't paying attention.
Jiang Xunzhou was stunned for two seconds, then laughed softly.
