Chapter 409 Summer Night Dream

Different from the previous brief confession of his feelings on the plane, this time he caught her off guard and acted without any scruples. It was inevitable that he could not control his emotions, and his movements subconsciously tightened a little.

In the tangled blend of aromas, one seems to be able to taste a subtle sweetness. I don’t know whether it comes from the taste of food or the touch of emotion, but it always makes people unable to help but indulge in it.

Only after he felt the person in his arms clutching his clothes due to lack of oxygen did he reluctantly step back a little, and then looked at Su Yun's face with his slightly dark eyes.

Unexpectedly, the eyes he saw were not hazy as he had expected, but were clear and transparent with great effort.

"You..." Upon realizing this, Tom was a little confused.

I was mentally prepared for the fact that I didn't have much practical experience, but at least I had studied privately, so it shouldn't be such a bad result...

But Su Yun really looked like she wasn't moved at all by his "attack".

Just when Tom was worried about this, Su Yun asked directly, "Have you memorized the script for tomorrow's performance? Have you mastered the moves that your martial arts instructor taught you?"

As soon as these words came out, the ambiguous atmosphere disappeared instantly, and what replaced it was the terrifying pressure after Su Yun turned on the tyrant mode in his daily work...

Tom was shocked by this and immediately stopped caring about his kissing skills. He subconsciously shrank his body and answered honestly, "I have memorized most of it and practiced the movements. I will work harder tonight and there should be no problem tomorrow..."

"I don't want 'should', but 'definitely', do you understand?" Su Yun frowned, "You have to know that we are in a hurry this time. Every NG means a waste of film, which means it will cost the entire crew time and money..."

"I see," Tom said, and then added quietly, "I'm sorry."

I don't know what he is apologizing for.

However, Su Yun didn't have time to get to the bottom of it, so he packed up his things and prepared to leave.

As I was about to leave, a cautious question suddenly came from behind me: "So... my kissing skills were not good enough just now?"

Su Yun paused for a moment, then turned her head to look into his beautiful blue-green eyes, and then sighed helplessly: "It's not bad."

It was not just not bad, it was almost too good - especially for an inexperienced opponent like her.

If she hadn't secretly pinched her fingertips until they turned red, reminding herself in her heart not to fall into love and desire so quickly, the two of them might have rolled directly onto the bed in the room!

But she still has to work with the props team tomorrow on the model of the alien boss and the corresponding special effects. It will probably be a lot of hard work, so she can't let herself be so exhausted that it affects her work...

After listening to Su Yun's explanation that they are all very busy with work recently and cannot waste their energy on "enjoyment", Tom's eyes changed from dark to bright and then to eager to try: "So... you don't dislike it, but you just feel that you don't have the time and energy for it at the moment, so you responded like this, right?"

Su Yun looked into his eyes steadily, and after a moment's silence, she replied, "You can say that."

Hearing this answer, he couldn't suppress his joy and took a step forward: "If...if I work harder and try to finish filming this drama as soon as possible, can I get some 'rewards'?"

"That depends on your performance." Su Yun raised his eyebrows but did not give a positive response.

However, this response gave Tom a lot of motivation. When shooting the next day, he went through the entire day's work process without any NGs, which surprised and shocked many people.

Perhaps no matter how good an actor is, he or she still needs the infusion of emotional strength to achieve the closest to perfect appearance - many times, the degree of fit is not only reflected in the appearance, but also in the mind.

In this "Edge of Tomorrow", the protagonist played by Tom keeps restarting the timeline in order to achieve a good ending, trying to correct mistakes and get closer to victory; in reality, Tom is trying to give his best performance for her "reward".

The infinite closeness in mentality led to an increasingly smooth shooting process.

While Su Yun was thinking this, Tom, who was putting on makeup with the help of the staff after the shooting of this scene was completed, suddenly seemed to sense Su Yun's gaze. He turned his head and looked at her with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, smiling at her.

At that moment, it seemed as if the whole world was lit up by this smile.

Obviously, the corners of his mouth should be a captivating temptation, but because of his overly proper and innocent eyes, people naturally feel a kind of warmth that heals the soul.

Su Yun was stunned for a moment, and then returned him a smile generously. When their eyes met, everything was self-evident.

As the summer was coming to an end, Su Yun confirmed that the filming had been completed. After some tidying up, she took a few days to rest and secretly went back to the town near Glen Mountain with Tom.

Returning to the place of his youth after many years, Tom felt a little sad when he saw the scenery that seemed to have not changed at all.

Compared to Tom's sigh of returning to his hometown, Su Yun also had a nostalgic mood: the urban construction in the United States was basically completed around the 1960s and 1970s, so all the scenery she saw here this time was still the same as when she first came to this town.

The only difference is that the people I met here have basically grown a lot.

Tom's sisters all have jobs or are studying in other places. They would have gone back to their respective big cities after meeting at the beach for vacation. Now that the two of them have returned to this small town, they can only see Tom's parents.

Although they would find opportunities to meet each other occasionally every year, they were always in a foreign land. Now that their son, who had been away from home for many years, finally had time to come home, the couple were delighted from the bottom of their hearts, so they invited the two to stay and have a good rest.

Su Yun thanked the two for their kindness and, after finishing a sumptuous lunch, she suggested going out for a walk and visiting old friends.

Of course Tom accompanied her on the trip, and he also knew the "old friend" that Su Yun mentioned, who was Kubrick's youngest daughter Vivian.

He had been offered opportunities to act in films back then, but it was Su Yun and Vivian who made the decision, giving him the opportunity to play supporting roles in films and debut as a child star.

Vivian's condition has been well controlled in recent years. Apart from the fact that she still needs to come here regularly to see a doctor for treatment, she has basically no problems. Su Yun also saw this time point and called in advance to ask. Vivian, who was originally going to fly back to the UK, stayed a little longer and took the opportunity to talk to old friends such as Su Yun.

Seeing Su Yun and Tom coming together this time, Vivian immediately showed an ambiguous look: "Tell me, is the live confession a few days ago true?"

Tom immediately forgot his previous grievances after being interrupted by Vivian: Su Yun came to visit Vivian after not staying at his house for long. This made him feel that Su Yun's rest arrangement this time was mainly to visit Vivian, and secondly to accompany him back to his hometown to make up for the previous vacation...

But he didn't expect that Vivian would help him so directly, and her eyes seemed to support them - this really touched him!

Su Yun looked at Vivian's gossipy face and Tom's touched face with a smile on her face. After a pause, she said, "It's true, but I haven't decided yet, so we can only be considered very good friends for now."

"I'm pursuing her!" Tom couldn't help but add.

Vivian nodded, indicating that she roughly understood the current relationship between the two, and then quickly changed the subject. While inviting the two to have afternoon tea, she chatted with Su Yun about topics related to film production.

So Tom turned into a wronged cat-head again: he finally managed to get Su Yun to put down her work and go on vacation, but she turned around and started talking about work with her friends again...

Although he loves movies and work very much, due to his selfish motives, their status seems to have taken a back seat.

However, no matter how much Tom complained, it was useless. Vivian heard that Su Yun was going to adapt a superhero comic and make a special effects production recently, and she talked to her excitedly for a long time, until the sun set. She ended the conversation with a sigh that her father Kubrick should be very happy about the news.

After all, Su Yun once demonstrated special effects technology that was ahead of its time, but he did not continue to shine in Hollywood. Instead, he retreated behind the scenes and became a cornerstone of the Hong Kong film and television industry, only occasionally releasing some movies to compete for box office and awards, so that people would never forget that there was such a genius who amazed the time in this era.

It is regrettable, of course, but everyone has their own aspirations, and outsiders can't say much. Moreover, although Su Yun's behavior is detrimental to her personal fame and fortune, it does promote and help the development of the film and television industry.

This is a rare overall perspective, which is more admirable and respectable than those who spend all the available resources on themselves to praise themselves.

In response to Vivian's praise, Su Yun humbly said that she was not that great, she was just working hard for her more distant "dream".

"If there is a chance, I look forward to working with you again." Vivian received a call from Su Yun and temporarily changed her flight to the evening this morning. At this point, it was almost time for her to leave.

Before leaving, Vivian hugged Su Yun reluctantly, and then left the key of the cabin to Su Yun, and then got into the car with her luggage.

Since she had some free time in her busy schedule, Su Yun of course took the time to enjoy the hustle and bustle of the town. During the day, she and Tom disguised themselves and wandered around, enjoying the convenience of town life while searching for the rhythm of nature in the mountains and streams.

Days like this are as thick as a mixture of honey and milk; even the hot wind seems to carry a hint of the sweetness of the remaining summer warmth.

The branches of the nearby trees have already reached the windows of the wooden house. As they sway in the afternoon breeze, star-like spots of light leak out and fall on the books in small pieces, just like weaving a mottled and old dream.

Occasionally, when I see leaves with light yellow and light brown edges, I seem to know that this year's summer is finally coming to an end.

However, the temperature at night was still unusually hot and humid, as if it was reluctant to enter autumn so quickly, so it used up its last bit of strength to bring the last bit of summer's heat to the earth.

You can't see such a starry sky in a bustling city. Only in a small town where people and nature live in peace can you encounter such a beautiful starry night.

Looking at the lake reflecting the stars in front of me, the summer that I missed that year seems to be meeting again on this night.

The night wind brought the sound of cicadas, but it made everything around seem even quieter. Su Yunyao glanced at the rose stand and the ballroom that she had escaped from that year. She could no longer see the colorful lights and fragrance of that time.

"Everyone has gone to the big cities, and the age of those who remain in small towns is getting older and older." Tom sighed.

"But they will come back - just like you and me." Su Yun turned her head to look at him, and saw that his outline was particularly moving under the interweaving of starlight and lake light.

For good-looking people, minor flaws become their distinctive features, giving them a unique sense of beauty, whether elegant, noble, melancholic, or wild. But in Hollywood, where handsome men rule the roost, his face is a little too handsome and regular.

Instead, some of the unique personal characteristics are lost.

It was not until the movie she starred in became a huge hit that she finally found a way to enhance her beauty, turning her looks into a heart-piercing bullet that could take people's lives at a glance.

However, this kind of cold beauty softens its attack in the hazy night, and turns into a bottle of delicious yet poisonous wine. After looking at it for a long time and getting drunk, people realize that they are probably going to die here.

The lingering yet sticky hot wind awakens the blue mist of the night. I feel each other's temperature melted by the summer night heat, and the jumping and flowing power hidden in the blood vessels. The kiss that was accidentally missed that summer night, and those elusive and quietly arising feelings, are reunited again in this magical, tipsy summer night.

Because they were in the wild by the lake, even though they knew there was no one around, they couldn't help but feel panicked. This state of mind added to the excitement, and when a few unharmonious sobs occasionally flowed from their throats, the person on top of them could no longer control his movements.

As the joy started out as dense as a warm spring drizzle and gradually spread to be as fierce as a summer rainstorm, pouring out endlessly, those eyes, as clear blue and dark green as lake water under the starlight of a summer night, seemed to blossom into a beautiful dream about summer not ending yet.
