Chapter 272: Fighting for the Wind

If it was just the landline phone that rang, some people would probably want to cut the phone line.

Unfortunately, Su Yun, who is used to enjoying the convenience of advanced technology, carries with her a mobile phone equipped with a system-connected black-tech network. Even though its size is comparable to a thinner thermos cup, it weighs several kilograms - but with its two functions of being wireless and portable, it is a high-tech artifact that is unique in this era dominated by landlines and public telephone booths.

Su Yun gave Zhuang Long an apologetic look, then picked up the mobile phone from the bedside table and answered: "Hello? Tom?"

"Have you heard about the award ceremony tonight? No, I'm fine..." After all, it's halfway around the world, and the first people who can see the award ceremony or know about it from other people must be the locals. Therefore, the first call tonight was from Tom who was filming in another city.

Originally, because of the previous accident, he hid in the crew with a evasive mentality and did not dare to come out to face Su Yun. However, after finishing the last scene tonight, he heard from the staff of the same crew that Su Yun had been a runner-up several times. In the end, he could not suppress the worry in his heart and took the initiative to call Su Yun to inquire about the situation.

"Thank you for your concern. I'm really fine. Maybe it was a little bit at the beginning, but now I've adjusted. You don't have to worry about me. Just work hard. It's a rare opportunity for you to be the male lead. Don't think too much." Su Yun said with a smile.

Although they had not communicated during this period, Meg, who was on good terms with him, would occasionally talk to Su Yun on the phone about his situation, so Su Yun knew that this increasingly handsome young man had recently landed the leading role in a teenage romantic comedy movie thanks to his good looks and hardworking spirit.

In contrast, Meg's starring role in "Legally Blonde" was delayed by many previous issues. The subsequent promotion has not been decided yet and there is no amount of promotion funds that Su Yun wants, so the film has been temporarily shelved and has not been officially scheduled.

Therefore, Meg's current job is to play minor roles in some movies and act as a GG model, maintaining a certain amount of exposure and expanding her network of contacts, and the rest of her time is spent studying various courses arranged by Ovitz.

As a young person pursuing her dreams who is not a professional, she is certainly not as lucky as Tom, but she is much better off than those young people who have a harder time pursuing their dreams: at least she has a movie waiting to be released as the leading role, and the company she signed with is not the kind of company that would exploit her and not only guarantee her daily life, but also give her the opportunity to improve herself...

Su Yun admired Meg's ability to endure loneliness: What I fear most are those who are impatient and start dreaming of becoming famous overnight without having a solid foundation, but in the end their dreams will only be short-lived.

On the contrary, those who are honest and down-to-earth and can endure loneliness and the hardships before they become famous will be able to withstand the storms and pressures of being in a high position in the future.

Among the people she knows, Zhang Querong is an example of someone who followed the path of suppression in the early stages and then taking off in the later stages. His final achievements were legendary and obvious to all.

Su Yun was thinking about the situation of these two people while talking to Tom. In the end, she thanked him again and hung up the phone. When she was about to turn around and continue the previous topic with Zhuang Long, she just said the word "you" and a new call came in again very "ruthlessly".

So Su Yun had no choice but to give Zhuang Long another apologetic look, and then picked up the mobile phone that she had just put down.

This time it was old friends in the United States who gave her everything from consolation to encouragement. When Su Yun was almost saying thank you out of habit, at least the incessant calls stopped for a while.

Once interrupted by these phone calls, the ambiguous atmosphere that was previously there had completely disappeared and there was no way to connect.

Unlike Zhuang Long, who felt more and more embarrassed the longer he sat there, the shameless Su Yun picked up the water cup on the table and took two sips, then picked up a piece of milk cake and started to eat it.

Seeing that it was already past twelve o'clock, Zhuang Long thought for a moment and decided to get up and leave.

But before he could stand up from the foot of the bed, the mobile phone on the bedside table rang again.

Su Yun picked up the phone very skillfully. The word "Danny" immediately made Zhuang Long, who was about to stand up, sit back in his original seat.

But Su Yun still didn't notice anything. She held the milk cake in one hand and took a few bites from time to time, while she held the mobile phone with the other hand and talked to Chen Boyang on the other side of the phone. She looked like she wanted to have it all while eating from the bowl.

Zhuang Long stared at the mobile phone coldly for a long time, and finally waited for Su Yun to hang up.

"Sorry for ignoring you." After Su Yun hung up the phone, she turned around and said to him first.

"It's okay. It's normal for them to worry about you. I was worried about you before, too. But because I'm right next to you, I can come directly to you and comfort you. I don't have to talk to you over the phone like them." Zhuang Long slowly smiled.

What's the point of making so many phone calls to compete with him for Su Yun's time?

Now he was the only one by her side, and even if he "checked the post", he still couldn't stop what was going to happen...

Startled by the sudden thought in his mind, Zhuang Long calmed himself down and saw that the plate was empty.

"After you finish eating..." Just as Zhuang Long was about to leave with the excuse of taking the plate away, Su Yun suddenly stuffed a small piece of milk cake into his mouth.

"The last one." Facing his stunned look, Su Yun smiled at him, "I love you so much that I couldn't bear to finish it, so I left the last piece for you."

"But this dish was made by me..." Feeling the sweet taste in his mouth, Zhuang Long slightly shifted his eyes.

"Don't worry about it." Su Yun frowned, "You gave this to me, so it belongs to me. Now I reluctantly leave you a part of my favorite things - isn't this enough to prove my love for you?"

Amused by her amazing logic, Zhuang Long sighed, "You...are still as noisy as before."

"Because you are by my side, I would not have quarreled with him like this if it was someone else." Su Yun suddenly looked into his eyes very seriously.

Zhuang Long vaguely sensed the meaning behind her words. He was shocked to hear Su Yun admit that he was being treated specially. He had to quickly change the subject: "I have to go back. I have an early show to prepare for tomorrow. It will be a bit troublesome to put on makeup if I go back too late..."

Looking at his back which seemed to be fleeing in panic, Su Yun sighed softly: If one of the two parties refuses to cooperate due to various reasons, then it really does not make any sense.

Forget it. Maybe at the moment when I was interrupted by the phone call, this opportunity tonight to take advantage of the misunderstanding was over.

The following shoot was uneventful and smooth. It seemed as if in an inadvertent turn of events, spring had passed and summer had arrived.

Such peaceful and tranquil days continued until one day in early July, when they were slightly disturbed by the visit of an old friend who had finally finished filming a movie.

If the devil uncle Zhao Qiming was still here, he would probably just kick this guy out.

Unfortunately, Zhao Liming had already flown back to Hong Kong last month, so he couldn't use the trick of killing someone with a borrowed knife, so he had to do it himself.

Although Zhuang Long appeared calm and righteous on the surface, he actually had other thoughts about the first phone call that really broke the atmosphere that night.

"Mary just drove out with the props team to buy some damaged parts. You know, this place is quite remote, so it may take some time." In response to Tom's inquiry, Zhuang Long took the initiative to come out and answer.

"Is that so? It doesn't matter. I'm free today. I'll just wait for her here." Tom naturally found a place to squat down.

These self-familiar Americans never understand the Chinese way of implicitly chasing guests away... Although Zhuang Long was unhappy in his heart, he still maintained a kind smile on his face, and then began to ask Tom questions without leaving any trace.

After finally arriving in a foreign country, Su Yun is still surrounded by many hormone-driven suitors - this is really a worrying thing.

Although Zhuang Long still doesn't dare to face his inner self, he is very clear about one thing: good things will definitely be fought over by many people. If one can grab one in advance, then future competition will be easier.

When you meet a playboy who comes and goes like the wind and blooms everywhere, not only love but also friendship often requires you to spend time and effort to fight for it.

The funny thing is that Tom didn't react at first, thinking that Zhuang Long and Su Yun had known each other for many years and were very good old friends - so he was extremely friendly and answered all the questions, thinking that he could win Su Yun's favor by trying to please Su Yun's friends, and get information about Su Yun's preferences from Zhuang Long...

So these two men, each with their own ulterior motives, talked to each other for a while, and the more they talked, the more they felt something was not right.

Finally, while Zhuang Long was called away by the Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts Master, Tom thought carefully about Zhuang Long's performance and his face immediately changed: Is this old man trying to trick me?!

Unlike Hong Kong, which seems to be open to the world but still attaches great importance to traditional ethics, there are no such taboos in the United States. The age difference of ten years is not a problem at all...

As the first person to truly realize Zhuang Long's true intention, which even he himself could not see clearly, Tom was now alert. When Zhuang Long looked at him again, his attitude instantly changed to caution and hostility.

Zhuang Long saw his cautious attitude from a distance, but he did not approach him. Instead, he turned around and looked for Su Yun who was driving back: "Your friend is here."

Previously, Tom kissed Su Yun on the cheek and was photographed by paparazzi waiting at the airport, which caused a sensation in Hong Kong. But Su Yun still remembers it!

Moreover, he used the excuse that he couldn't leave because his crew had to film in a closed manner, instead of coming to explain things to Su Yun right away - this is going to be a fun show.

As Zhuang Long expected, upon hearing that Tom was coming, Su Yun said a few words to the people in the prop group, then rushed to the corner where Tom was squatting and pulled him up from the ground.

Looking at Tom's embarrassed expression after hearing Su Yun's words, Zhuang Long couldn't help sneering in his heart: Su Yun always had many ways to torment people, this must be a particularly difficult request for him...

If he doesn't agree, his favorability towards her will definitely decrease. If he agrees, judging from his embarrassed look, Su Yun's request must be quite tiring.

The situation here seems calm on the surface, but undercurrents are turbulent. On the other side, in a slum, little Leon looked at his brother Adam with surprise: "Really? Will you take me to the San Diego Comic Con this year?"

"Yes, I heard that your favorite Mary Sue will be attending as a guest this year. She couldn't bring you last year, and she happened to be busy so she didn't go. According to her habit of attending whenever she could, she will definitely go this year..." Adam touched his little golden head: "Didn't you make cosplay clothes by hand with your new friend Toby some time ago? My friend got a second-hand car from his grandfather, so we can go together this year!"
