Chapter 265 New Year's Eve Dinner

Su Yun glanced at the half-open door when she heard the noise, then smiled at Chen Boyang and said that she would get up and open the door first: "I'll help you apply it after dinner."

"Okay." Chen Boyang responded with a smile.

So Su Yun stood up from the sofa, walked to open the door, and looked like a naughty kid who was caught doing something secretly: "We will go down right away."

Zhuang Long looked at Su Yun expressionlessly, then his gaze passed her ear and fell on Chen Boyang who was still sitting obediently in the dim room.

What on earth did these two people do just now?

As soon as the Mei sisters came back, Grandma Su planned to ask the Philippine maid Jennifer to go upstairs and invite people for dinner, but for some reason, he took the initiative to take over this responsibility.

Even though he understood the distance between himself and Su Yun and that there was little hope, he was still worried about what two emotionally agitated young people would do when they were alone in a room.

After all, Su Yun had a criminal record, and this single man and woman were most likely to get carried away.

For a moment, he couldn't help but curse himself in his heart: he clearly didn't intend to give the other person too much hope nor to lower himself, but when the other person seemed to want to shift his target, he secretly developed inappropriate jealousy and resentment.

So much so that he deliberately ran up and peeked through the crack of the half-open door. When he saw that the atmosphere between the two people was strange, he decisively took action to interrupt the possible development of this scene.

Not knowing what was going on in Zhuang Long's mind, Su Yun turned around calmly, walked to the tea table to get the jar of facial mask, and at the same time called Chen Boyang and asked him to go downstairs with her.

She left the door open, firstly because she was concerned about a single man and a single woman being in the same room, and secondly because she wanted to make it clear to Zhuang Long, who had been feeling awkward for so long, that he was not the only potential target for her.

As the saying goes, as long as the target is changed quickly, there is no harm, only love!

Because they were supposed to be a couple in the film, and the premise was that a group of people were traveling to a different place to take care of each other, she was confused for a moment and developed feelings for him that went beyond friendship...

But it hasn't reached the point where I have to have you. In fact, at the very beginning, there was still some influence from hormones and alcohol.

The world has now entered the space age. It's not like we were deeply in love. We just had some feelings for each other at the beginning but couldn't reach an agreement. As long as we find a chance to put this aside in the future, we can still be good friends, right?

Su Yun thought: She has known Zhuang Long for many years. Although they are not always together, he is not the type to be indecisive and he does not hold grudges. If she apologizes to him and explains everything, there should be no problem.

Even if there were problems, he had to keep them to himself: before the filming of "Grave Robbers", Zhuang Long had just signed a contract with her for a series of four films. If he dared to be unprofessional because of practical problems, she could make him pay for it with just a wave of her hand and go back to the miserable days when he had to push a cart to sell ice cream on the street and wash "big cakes" in restaurants!

Recalling the past when she had imagined him in her mind as a burly man at least two meters tall whose aura could overpower Uncle Ying, and then thinking about his real handsome and gentle appearance with a typical American silly smile, Su Yun couldn't help laughing and laughed out loud even as she walked down the stairs.

When people start to show off, they always forget about this and that. Su Yun didn't pay attention to where he was stepping and stepped on empty air.

"Be careful!" Chen Boyang next to him and Zhuang Long walking behind him shouted subconsciously, and their hands were extended with protective intent at almost the same time -

However, Su Yun, whose reaction speed had won high praise from Lu Shaolong, did not need their help at all. She twisted her toes, stepped on them, and turned them, and she moved on the stairs in two graceful and agile circles as if she was in a martial arts movie.

As her body moved, her hand brushed past the fingertips of Zhuang Long behind her. She originally wanted to press on the handrail to steady herself, but when she saw Chen Boyang was so nervous that sweat broke out on his forehead, she changed her mind and let her hand brush past the handrail and rest on the hand that he stretched out.

Originally he was thinking of killing two birds with one stone, but he ended up losing more than he gained - Chen Boyang's hands had just been applying hand cream and they became very slippery!

So Su Yun's originally very beautiful and graceful spinning movement became a rotten tail building, and she stumbled forward. If Chen Boyang hadn't quickly stretched out his other hand to grab the handrail of the stairs next to him, while stabilizing his own body and catching Su Yun's body falling forward, Su Yun might have rolled directly to the first floor...

"Are you okay?" He gasped for breath, looking terrified.

Su Yun, who fell into his arms, raised her head and said, "It's okay. Thanks to you. Fortunately, you are tall and strong, and your steps are stable enough!"

In this era, most male stars are generally just over 1.7 meters tall. His 1.78 meters tall and skinny figure is easy to be "disliked" by his peers: once they encounter a show where they stand together, he always makes the person next to him look a head shorter...

Except for tall and strong men like Zhou Yuanfa who are over 1.80 meters tall, even his old friends Zhang Querong and Zhong Buluo are reluctant to stand too close to him: if they stand apart, they are all handsome young men, and when they stand next to him, they can always be compared with him to have a somewhat sturdy aura, as if they have suddenly changed from a foreign-educated newcomer back to a horse-catching man who can dance the yangge and perform the duo act!

However, he is not one of those popular young actors in later generations who don’t look like a prince even when wearing a dragon robe. He is tall and thin, which is relatively muscular in this era. His shoulders are wide enough and his bones and flesh are well-proportioned. Su Yun has just checked it herself and said that his shoulders are full of bones and flesh, and there is no fake...

Of course, his thin figure was not as aesthetically pleasing to the public as Zhang Querong and Zhong Bu Luo, which led to him being called a school sweetheart, the first generation idol, and having the most young female fans among his peers.

Therefore, Chen Boyang, who has always been troubled by his thin body, was not very happy to hear Su Yun's description of him as "tall and mighty". He replied with a joking tone of anger: "The whole world says I'm thin, don't joke with me!"

"Okay, okay, I'll change my words - your bamboo-like body, like a clothes-drying bamboo, successfully prevented me from falling down the stairs. Thank you very much!" Seeing that he was making a fuss with her, Su Yun of course climbed up along the pole.

Such childish pranks among young people made Zhuang Long, who was left out at the back, look bleak.

"Hey, hey, I've lost a little weight recently, but there's no need to describe me as a bamboo pole, right?" Mei Yanshuang's smiling voice came from below.

"I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about me." Chen Baiyang stuck his head out and greeted the Mei sisters who came over from the stairs after hearing the noise, "Ann, Anita, Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year." Mei Aishhuang, whose English name is Ann, smiled at him: Recently, this group of workers have been meeting each other on TV from time to time, and it is not convenient to call each other by their former nicknames, so they all call each other by their English names when they meet.

"What New Year? It's not here yet, and they haven't said enough about it on TV. Hurry up and come down to eat. We're waiting for you three." Seeing Chen Baiyang's silly smile, Mei Yanshuang also teased him.

Zhuang Long silently followed Su Yun and Chen Boyang down the stairs, and then chose the seat to the left of Granny Su and sat down.

At this rectangular dining table, Grandma Su sat in the main seat on the short side facing the door, while Su Yun liked to sit on Grandma Su's right.

Thinking that there would be two guests tonight, Mei Aishang and Mei Yanshuang, who usually sat on Su's left side, didn't think much about it. After inviting Chen Boyang to sit next to Zhuang Long, they went to sit with Su together. Two seats next to Yun.

Zhuang Long thought that he had chosen this seat so that he could be face to face with Su Yun and thus spark something. However, after a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner, Su Yun, who usually talked while eating, except for a few mild remarks to avoid embarrassing him, spent the entire time talking to Chen Boyan and the Mei sisters about work and recent events.

It was at this moment that he realized that without Su Yun's attention in this family, he was like an awkward and invisible person.

In the past, Su Yun would always take everyone into consideration, so that the atmosphere was always good, and she would deliberately keep everyone at a "moderate" that would not be too noisy or too boring.

Now, when she intentionally avoids someone and only says a few polite words to avoid making him completely invisible, people can feel her cold-bloodedness.

His fear of getting hurt, and even more fear of losing after gaining, sank even deeper into the darkness of his heart.

After finishing this tasteless New Year's Eve dinner, Zhuang Long sat on a single sofa and watched Su Yun take the seabed mud and smear it on Chen Boyang's face who was struggling desperately.

Mei Aishuang, who had a mild temper, saw how hard he was struggling and couldn't help but persuade him, "Why don't you let him apply it himself?"

"He's so handsome, he definitely won't turn into Lord Bao in front of us. Come on, Su Su, I'll help you hold him down! Dig more before you take any action!" Mei Yanshuang is a person who likes to stir up trouble. Seeing that Su Yun was about to mess with Chen Boyang, she immediately rubbed her hands and prepared to start.

"You said you wouldn't be angry with me..." Chen Boyang was almost crying out of grievance: No wonder she laughed out loud when she went downstairs with the jar, it turned out that she had been thinking of this way to torment him.

"Of course I won't be angry with you." Su Yun smiled very gently, and then took a large piece of seabed mud and smeared it on his face, "However, the death penalty can be forgiven, but the living crime is unforgivable. I let you make your own decisions and hide it from me. Do you know you are afraid?!"

"Ah Mei, turn on the TV. I remember that TBB had a lot of funny shows tonight—" Su Yun looked at the despair in his eyes and chuckled, "You can't smile while applying a facial mask. If you smile, you will get wrinkles, and then you won't look good on the show tomorrow..."

In order to ensure that Chen Boyang had enough time to apply the facial mask before the comedy show, Su Yun took the initiative to sit next to him, put her arm around his shoulders and pressed him down hard, acting like a big boss who would never let him get away.

Grandma Su cheerfully invited the Mei sisters to sit over there: "Okay, don't all squeeze onto that double sofa. Come over here and sit over here. I have plenty of seats."

Mei Aishuang and Mei Yanshuang responded, covered their mouths and sat on the sofa where Grandma Su was.

On one side there was constant laughter and joy, on the other side there was silence.

When Chen Boyang softened his voice, it was always coquettish. He finally sat down long enough to wash his face, but when he came back, he squeezed next to Su Yun and whined again. So Su Yun pinched his face in annoyance and said, "If you keep making noise, I'll ask someone to arrange for you to dress up as Zhu Bajie tomorrow!"

"If you ask me to recite it, then I can still accept it." He is also a playful person when he is happy. "Even if it is Zhu Bajie, I am the most handsome one!"

Then the two of them started laughing again, and to those with different thoughts, this was the carefree and unrestrained nature that was unique to young people.

In addition to the distance in age and mood, there are also subtle changes after the closeness of the relationship changes: the closer the relationship, the more presumptuous one will be, and politeness is a boundary with social distance.

I don’t know how long it took, but when I felt the sound beside me completely disappear, Zhuang Long subconsciously turned his head and looked at Su Yun behind him.

All I saw were two heads leaning against each other, like two kittens huddled together, with a faint dark blue complexion that could not be hidden under their eyes, and a similar and obvious look of fatigue on their faces.

Seeing Zhuang Long looking at Su Yun and the other person who were dozing off next to each other, the Mei sisters sitting opposite him quickly gestured to him: It doesn't matter whether they stay up all night or not, they are very tired recently, let them take a rest.

Understanding what the two sisters meant, Zhuang Long forced a slight smile and nodded silently.

At this time, others may not notice it, but he feels like an extremely redundant outsider.
