Ye Chu still felt that things shouldn't progress too quickly between them, otherwise it would seem like she was being rather unreserved. Gu Yu also gentlemanly stopped there, not taking things any further, but their relationship was now officially established.
Dinner consisted of Ye Chu's favorite dishes as usual. It's true that she has a real talent for sticking to things, people, preferences, and habits, whether she's been doing them since she was a child.
She still doesn't like the dishes she doesn't like, so when she saw Gu Yu cook dinner after excluding all the dishes she doesn't like, Ye Chu was secretly touched as she ate.
After dinner, Ye Chu said she wanted to go back. Gu Yu didn't stop her, but just stuffed a script into her arms.
Ye Chu, holding the tangerine, curiously looked at the cover, and the large black characters in regular script came into view: "Escape 2".
"This is!" She looked at Gu Yu in surprise, only to see him say matter-of-factly, "As a friend of the director, I do have the privilege of getting the script first."
"Is it confirmed?" Ye Chu looked at the other person expectantly, and when she saw Gu Yu nod, a big smile bloomed on her face.
Gu Yu patted her head: "The script will probably be revised again. If you have any opinions after you finish reading it, you can write them down and bring them over with mine later. Don't stay out too late, go home and rest early."
Ye Chu nodded in agreement, her mind and eyes completely focused on the precious script in her hands, and she didn't pay attention to what Gu Yu said afterward.
After watching a movie with Michael that evening, she couldn't wait to retreat to her own home to read the script.
As one of the lead actresses, how could she not be looking forward to "Escape 2," which countless netizens were eagerly anticipating? It's just that director Lin Mu never mentioned a sequel after filming wrapped, so she didn't dare to think too much about it.
At this moment, feeling the heavy weight of the script in her hands, Ye Chu's heart pounded. She desperately wanted to know how the escape would end. Just as netizens had said, the first season left too many mysteries unresolved; it would be a disservice to the countless viewers whose curiosity had been piqued if Lin Mu didn't release a sequel.
The opening of *Escape 2* features a short line: "I unexpectedly survived." Ye Chu's eyes widened. According to the ending of the first film, all the survivors of that game had successfully escaped. If anyone could utter such a phrase about surviving a catastrophe—it would be Jiang Rongsong!
I survived by accident.
Under the monster's claws.
It signed a contract with me.
I came to a new world and began to work for it.
The condition is...
Ye Chu took a deep breath. The condition was… turn the page, Chapter One. She exhaled sharply, realizing the answer was still hidden later? Couldn't they have just said it directly?!
The script Lin Mu wrote for the second part is quite different from the script for the first part. This time, the script is more like a novel than a script.
Aside from the layout and format of the dialogue, which distinguish it as a script, it can basically be read as a novel.
Ye Chu remembered that the time she saw before opening the script was exactly midnight. By the time she finally felt tired and decided to go to sleep, it was already 4:30 in the morning.
Ye Chu didn't sleep for long; she got up at 7:30. After feeding the tangerine dog food, she quickly washed up, ate some fruit for breakfast, and then took out a pen and paper to jot down some thoughts she had before going to bed the night before.
She wrote about half a page before putting down her pen and sitting down at the table to continue reading the script. When someone is focused on something, it's easy to lose track of time. Aside from the tangerines reminding her it was time for meals, Ye Chu had been preoccupied with the script all day. Naturally, her remaining two meals weren't very good; she mostly ate fruit. As night fell, she closed the script and put down her pen, only then feeling a dull ache in her stomach.
I quickly got up and boiled some water. After drinking a cup of hot water, my stomach discomfort finally eased a lot.
Looking at her empty refrigerator in the kitchen, Ye Chu glanced at the time: 8:30. Still early, she grabbed her keys and went downstairs, intending to go to the supermarket in the neighborhood to buy something to fill her stomach.
Little did she expect that as soon as she left the supermarket carrying a bag of bread and snacks, she would be caught red-handed by Gu Yu, who had just finished walking the dog.
Seeing the other person raise an eyebrow with a heroic air, Ye Chu knew that something was wrong. Unfortunately, she had no chance to escape and could only pitifully accept the interrogation.
"Why are you buying so much bread and snacks at this hour?" Gu Yu took the bag from her hand, glanced at it briefly, and frowned.
"It looked delicious, so I bought it..." Ye Chu said guiltily, "It's good to chew on it occasionally." As soon as she finished speaking, her stomach growled loudly, mercilessly exposing her lie.
"molar?"
"Uh...yes, grinding teeth, grinding teeth."
Gu Yu casually picked up a loaf of bread from the bag. It was the kind with simple packaging and a shelf life of only one day: "Snacks aside, this bread only has a shelf life of one day. Are you planning to eat bread all day tomorrow and finish it all?"
The other person's gaze suddenly turned dangerous, making Ye Chu feel uneasy and on the verge of tears.
"Sigh." Seeing her like this, Gu Yu was ultimately overcome by heartache and couldn't bring herself to scold her. She sighed helplessly, "Should I bring you the food, or will you come down and eat it yourself?"
"Huh?" Ye Chu, who thought she was going to get scolded, looked at Gu Yu in surprise. Could it be that what Gu Yu meant?
"One of the two options." Carrying a bag of bread and snacks, Gu Yu repeated, "Do you want me to bring you food myself, or do you want to come to my house for dinner?"
Swallowing hard, Ye Chu looked at the scattered passersby around her and thought to herself that it was fortunate that they were in a specially developed celebrity community, otherwise, let alone being photographed, they would probably have been publicly executed online long ago.
Seemingly knowing what she was thinking, Gu Yu said, "Those who can stay here are all well-behaved in the industry." This also implied that those who weren't well-behaved couldn't stay here: "So, have you made your choice?"
Ye Chu swallowed almost imperceptibly, then shook her head: "There's no need for that. Just tomorrow, Sister Ji will be able to finish her work..."
Before she could finish speaking, Gu Yu interrupted her: "Do you want Chang Ji to be in charge of your three meals a day from now on?"
That's impossible, of course. Changji has her own things to do and her own life: "No, there's also takeout." That's how it's always been. If Changji can come and cook for her, she'll eat; if Changji doesn't have time, she'll either eat bread and snacks or order takeout. Looking at it now, she realizes that she's been living... pretty casually.
The word "takeout" made Gu Yu's relaxed brows furrow again. He suddenly wanted to know how this person had managed to stay healthy and active all this time.
"Choose one of the two." He used a forceful tone, making it clear that Ye Chu wouldn't be able to go back unless she chose one today.
With a pout, Ye Chu reluctantly chose option two. She decided to skip having the renowned movie star bring her food and just make the trip up and down the stairs to get her meal herself.
Gu Yu was quite satisfied with this answer: "Let's go back," he said, reverting to his gentle demeanor.
