Chapter 408: Think Twice

Su Yun was silent for a moment, then explained helplessly: "No, I was just joking."

So, it was visible to the naked eye that the light in those beautiful blue and green eyes extinguished as she explained, and there was a bit of pity between his eyebrows and eyes, just like a poor dog who thought his owner had a reward but turned out to be just a casual remark...

Su Yun felt sorry for him because of his pitiful appearance. After getting off the car, she went around to his side and took advantage of the fact that there were no people around to quietly hold his hand.

Feeling her outstretched hand being held tightly, Su Yun subconsciously looked at his face. He looked calm, but there was a hint of stiffness in his tone, which revealed his discomfort: "Aren't you afraid of being seen?"

"Don't be afraid." Su Yun said with a smile, "I want you to be happy."

It's just holding hands, so it's nothing even if someone sees it - of course, such inner thoughts cannot be said directly.

Perhaps dogs like Samoyeds are really easy to deceive. After being fooled by Su Yun's little trick, Tom quickly forgot what happened before. He tried to open his fingers, wanting to shake hands with Su Yun by intertwining his fingers.

This is a bit too much!

Su Yun immediately stretched out her free hand, held his eager hand with both hands and shook it: "What do you want to eat tonight?"

Having seen Su Yun's workaholic style for a long time, Tom couldn't help but smile and whispered, "What about you? What do you want to eat?"

"I want to eat Chinese food. There's a Chinese restaurant nearby that makes pretty good food." Although the taste has been changed a lot based on American tastes, it's not completely different, so Su Yun would order takeout from this restaurant from time to time during this period. "And the calories are not that high, and it can fill my stomach to the greatest extent."

Seeing her worrying about the taste and whether she could eat enough, Tom sighed and said, "I really want to eat pizza...but you and many people won't allow me to."

Filming action scenes is exhausting in itself, and in order to maintain their figure, they often have to eat specially prepared meals, which are so tasteless after a while that it really makes people lose the motivation to eat.

Seeing that he looked a bit pitiful, Su Yun calculated in her heart while walking, and then gritted her teeth: "Forget it, you have been working hard recently, add another 30 minutes to the exercise tonight, and then you can eat an 8-inch... Hey! Put me down!"

"I'm just... too happy." He put the person down lightly, and couldn't help but take one more look at the red face on Su Yun's face, which he didn't know whether it was red from anger or anxiety. He felt more and more happy in his heart: he could eat the food he wanted, and take the opportunity to get close to the person he liked. This was simply killing two birds with one stone.

After all, he is a young man in his twenties, and he has already made it clear that he is pursuing her. Although the other party is sometimes hot and sometimes cold towards him due to various factors, it cannot stop him from secretly using some tricks that are not likely to offend others when he finds an opportunity...

Just like what he did just now, after confirming that they were the only two people in the corridor at this moment, he took the opportunity to hug Su Yun and lifted her up high under the pretext of being "happy".

Seeing her shy look, one's heart was moved: Su Yun was used to bullying the weak and fearing the strong, and was particularly prone to sympathy for others. This gave him many opportunities to make some intimate actions by playing pranks, which slightly eased his heart that was not comforted by love.

In fact, Su Yun probably understood his little thoughts a little, and she had struggled with whether or not to change the way they were getting along with each other now... But when she thought of his previous confession and prayers, she couldn't harden her heart, and could only let it go and continue to be ambiguous.

Besides, those traditional moral senses and other things have long been thrown to the sky because of the previous lust that blinded my mind - under this premise, it seems that I can really break through the constraints in my heart and carry out the plan of "one will lead to another"...

Stop for now!

She is currently filming a drama, and she can't always be thinking about dragging the male lead in her drama into her bed again!

Although she and the male protagonist don't seem to care much about this matter, and both of them do have a good impression of each other, and one of them has even expressed his feelings...

Su Yun calmed down, and the knot in her heart became even more severe: her mind could race like a roller coaster, and her mouth could talk fast from time to time, but why, when it really came time to make a choice, she always wanted to retreat and maintain the status quo?

Is it that I am not strong enough in this regard?

Su Yun picked at her takeout lunch box with disposable chopsticks, thinking about the food without tasting it. This made Tom, who was eating pizza next to her, a little confused: "What's wrong?"

Normally, Su Yun was the most enthusiastic person he had ever met, but today he looked like he couldn't eat...

"Nothing, just thinking about something." Su Yun's thoughts were called back and he quickly explained.

"You should not put too much pressure on yourself. If you focus too much on work, you will cause problems for your body. You should relax as much as possible during your rest time." Tom advised, "It was the same when I was filming a movie before. I felt a lot of pressure when I thought about the huge investment. When I didn't have a role to play, I didn't know what to do. I just wanted to find a quiet place to sit and stare blankly..."

"Later, Ovitz advised me not to put too much pressure on myself. Even if this movie failed, I would not be defeated."

"Because you'll never give up on me—that's what he told me."

"Me?" Su Yun looked at him in surprise.

"Yes." Tom nodded. "He said that you are a person who values ​​feelings very much, so you will inevitably encounter various emotional problems. This is your luck and misfortune."

“You will gain the favor of many people because of this, but you will also be troubled by this favor. The most troublesome thing is that you always seem to want to achieve a perfect ending, so you are always reluctant to give up, which leads to your troubles growing day by day.”

Unexpectedly, Ovitz saw through her "I want it all" idea so clearly. Su Yun adjusted her sitting posture and continued to ask: "Then what?"

"He said, either you work hard to get closer to your goal, or you make a choice. Otherwise, if you just get entangled without choosing a direction to work hard in, you can only float in the middle, neither end." Tom was silent for a while, and then continued, "Just like between you and me... It's not that I don't want to wait for you to think seriously, but I really can't help it. The love I want to show you..."

If the feelings are not made clear, perhaps both parties can still pretend to be ignorant and be "good friends".

But he confessed his feelings in front of so many people. Even if Su Yun could use some tricks to conceal the opinions of others, she could not hide her inner feelings which had already been made clear.

Su Yun opened her mouth and was about to say something when Tom suddenly covered her mouth and said, "Don't say 'sorry' to me anymore. I should be the one to apologize. I am a very selfish man. In order to make myself feel better, I put my feelings on you. Not only did you suffer from this, but you also had to work harder..."

"You don't need to think like that." Su Yun pressed his hand. "Even if there hadn't been that accident, I would still be very interested in this subject. Besides, you're very popular right now. I'm the one who makes money by letting you be the leading actor in a movie for a salary that's only a little higher than before."

“After all, the subject matter of Edge of Tomorrow is, under normal circumstances, more dangerous than your previous film The Last Airbender.” Even though Su Yun is one of the people standing at the forefront of special effects technology in the world, there are many examples of big investments that fail to win. For example, Blade Runner, which Zhao and Zhao Rifu had high hopes for but ended up failing in both box office and reputation, has not been able to recover yet…

The birth of a high-grossing movie often requires the right time, place and people.

"But because of your current high popularity and the bonus of that accident, it has become one of the movie projects that the audience is particularly looking forward to, so I decided to shoot this movie." Su Yun looked at him seriously, "Strictly speaking, it's not that I will never give up on you, but that we are helping each other realize their dreams."

"From the moment I decided to choose you and me to appear on the screen together, you and I have been complementing each other."

She really felt that she had relied on her golden finger that knew the future to grab such a fat sheep that she could fleece for many years, and she was very grateful; but she didn't know that when people who came to enjoy the scenery began to come in and become a part of the scenery, many things had already changed accordingly.

For example, this kind of fantasy that should have existed before going to sleep, but unexpectedly happened in reality.

"I don't think so." Tom shook his head decisively. "I understand that you want to downplay your own achievements and make those of us who have been helped by you feel less responsible. But it is precisely because of this that I cannot allow you to maintain this kind of 'sacrifice' in front of me."

"You've done enough and well enough..." He looked at me with a sharp gaze, his eyes full of deep affection, "Just like many people always advise you not to work so hard, I also want you to slow down a little and think about yourself..."

Perhaps he was the only one who noticed that for some reason, when Su Yun was working, she always felt anxious as if a huge disaster was chasing her.

It is obvious that she is doing quite well both in Hong Kong and Hollywood, and she has a wealthy family to support her and give her confidence - if it were someone else, they would have no idea how to have fun.

The most frightening thing is that Su Yun not only works very hard, but also has very little time to relax, eat, drink and have fun. He is just like a tireless robot.

To say that Su Yun is born to love working is absolutely impossible.

Based on the fact that they have known each other for so many years, he can guarantee that Su Yun, apart from working very hard when he is in the mood, is a normal person who likes to eat, drink and have fun and hates work.

So he could no longer bear it and raised his doubts to Su Yun.

After listening to this, Su Yun was slightly stunned: He is indeed a person who dares to challenge the "authority" of profit sharing in Hollywood. His sensitivity is definitely stronger than many people around her.

So, Su Yun couldn't help but once again look carefully at the young man in front of him who had grown a lot without him noticing.

Thick eyebrows always give people an indescribable spirit, while the eyes underneath are no less charming and compelling. In the flow of light and shadow, facing these beautiful eyes that seem to be able to see through many secrets, it is as if you are enveloped by a high-power light beam and cannot move.

It was a rare opportunity for Su Yun to confide in him, so she just picked up some words to talk about the pressure that was driving her to keep moving forward: "... In short, I can feel that the outside world will have a policy that strikes against the Hong Kong film and television industry in the future, so I want to plant the seeds of fire and hope before such a 'cold winter' comes."

She was not making this up. After Hong Kong's films and television took Asia by storm, those who did not want to see a piece of their cake being bitten off by outsiders began to use various means to suppress the development of Hong Kong films.

This is also one of the key reasons why the glorious era of Hong Kong film and television came to a rapid end.

However, she, who was born for this purpose, has become more and more "greedy" along the way: in addition to wanting to prevent the decline of Hong Kong entertainment, she also wants to lead many people she meets intentionally or unintentionally to embark on a completely new path that is completely different from the original regrettable ending.

As long as there is an opportunity, she is so greedy that she thinks twice before doing anything - she wants to take on so many things, so how can she not be "anxious"?

"I understand why you're so anxious." Tom held her hand and tried to soften his voice. "This is indeed a more urgent situation, but I always say the same thing - it's important to combine work and rest."

"I'm relaxing now." Su Yun quickly finished the last bit of fried rice, then took a few big gulps of water from the cup before letting out a long breath. "I confessed my mental troubles and then satisfied my physical needs... burp, it's even a bit too much."

Just when Su Yun was thinking that she might need to exercise more after returning to her room to prevent her body shape from changing, she was suddenly stopped by a hand when she stood up.

Then, there was a sudden attack with a strong tone, which turned into a deep and lingering kiss: "Are you sure...you are satisfied?"
