Chapter 446 Freshness

Even though he already knew that Su Yun couldn't control herself when she saw a beautiful woman, he was still a little angry when he saw her being so enamored with the new and forgetful of the old.

Of course, Su Yun was very good at reading people's faces when necessary. Seeing Zhuang Long's face starting to frown, she quickly smoothed things over again: "I just want to help the younger generation. After all, my mother has high hopes for Joey, so I might as well help him..."

"Joey?" Zhuang Long narrowed his eyes, with a hint of scrutiny between his eyebrows.

The tall and pretty girl was called Wang Xuyan, and her English name was naturally "Joey" which sounded similar. But it was unexpected that Su Yun had only known her for a short time and she had already started calling her by her name affectionately...

"It's just a name. Why are you so upset? I call you John, John every day." Su Yun gently pushed him and whispered in his ear, "Don't be fooled by her delicate appearance. In fact, she is easily deceived."

Hearing the hidden meaning in Su Yun's words, Zhuang Long raised his eyebrows, suppressed his dissatisfaction, and looked over seriously.

"It's not very convenient here. I'll find a chance to talk to you later." Su Yun said this, and then, under Zhuang Long's tacit gaze, he stood up and returned to the seat next to Wang Liyan.

They naturally had a lot of fun talking along the way. Wang Zhaoyan, who was only 21 years old at the time, loved and admired Su Yun, the sister who she had watched her movies since she was a child and was only three years older than her. Su Yun led her to talk non-stop along the way, and she even forgot about learning to sing for a while...

Xu Gujie is a person who likes to take care of the younger generation. Previously, he had to stay as far away from Su Yun as possible because he could not save the music-deaf boy but did not understand his personality. Now, seeing that Su Yun, his adopted daughter, has taken up this hot potato, he immediately took the opportunity to return to his seat and talk to Su Yun while peeling an orange.

When filming "The Perfect Match" Xu Gujie peeled oranges for her when she was young. She never thought that she would have the chance to taste the same flavor again after so many years. Su Yun was a little dazed for a moment. She bit the sweet orange and used paper and pen to discuss the effects of the dragon-shaped spaceship in the two movies with Xu Gujie. Wang Liyan, who felt that her eyes were opened, was full of stars.

She was no longer the haggard and exhausted girl who had gone through many twists and turns, but a young and energetic girl with a smooth career. Su Yun would occasionally glance at her with a sigh in his heart.

When we arrived at the local hotel and checked in, everyone was busy preparing for work and packing their luggage, and Zhuang Long quietly came over here.

"You mean, her singer boyfriend already has an illegitimate child with his ex-girlfriend?" Upon hearing this big news, Zhuang Long's face sank again.

Thinking of his background of being abandoned, Su Yun quickly added: "Strictly speaking, Qi Xun and his ex-girlfriend have already broken up peacefully. After Qi Xun became famous, his ex-girlfriend felt insecure and was very rude to his fans. For a singer who is in the rising stage of his career, this undoubtedly has a great impact on his future."

"When two people's thoughts and perspectives cannot be communicated, a rational separation is definitely better than continuing to torture each other, but this is also the problem - when facing the breakup, Qi Xun's ex-girlfriend said that she was pregnant."

Zhuang Long's brows furrowed even deeper: "If he didn't want that child, why did he let him be born?"

"You misunderstood this point. Qi Xun gave a sum of money to his ex-girlfriend as compensation for aborting the child, but her ex-girlfriend did not obey his instructions in public but secretly gave birth to the child after receiving the money."

"You mean, this man doesn't know about it now?" Zhuang Long was stunned.

"I can't say whether he knows about it or not. That's all I know. But one thing I can be sure of is that this illegitimate child is a bomb that can explode at any time. It will definitely have a significant impact on Joey, both emotionally and in his career." Su Yun sighed.

As for Qi Xun, he is not a complete scumbag. After breaking up with Wang Liyan, he still couldn't forget her. When Wang Liyan was accidentally involved in a scandal of being the mistress of a married wealthy businessman, he expressed support and encouragement to her even though she was badly insulted. He said frankly that she was not a girl who was greedy for fame and fortune. He also invited her to shoot a new song MV and helped her slowly get out of the storm of gossip.

But to say that Qi Xun is not a scumbag is definitely not the case: after knowing that he had an illegitimate child, he did not tell Wang Liyan the truth, but asked his family to help hide it. This eventually became the fundamental reason for their second breakup, and it also caused Wang Liyan, who was heartbroken, to retire from the world, and the beauty of a generation disappeared from the world since then.

"So what are you going to do?" Zhuang Long asked again.

"She has been too well protected and is overly sentimental. Now she is too deeply involved and is almost at the stage of discussing marriage. If the truth is revealed all of a sudden, she will definitely not be able to accept it." Su Yun commented, and then explained, "I plan to let my mother gradually give her some advice after filming these two dramas, and then gradually expose the cruel truth, so that she can be mentally prepared in advance and not have a big shock of exploding all at once."

Zhuang Long nodded, then sighed: "You are quite thoughtful."

"There's nothing I can do. With this kind of thing and this kind of personality, if I don't get over it myself, it's hard for others to help me." Su Yun said, throwing up her hands again, "Besides, I'm not without selfish motives - although I already know these secrets, I still have to keep it a secret until after the filming is finished. I can't let her, one of the leading actresses, ruin a movie."

"You are also protecting her career." Although Su Yun sounded like an unscrupulous boss who wanted to take advantage of Tou Che before letting her go, it was undeniable that this was the most appropriate arrangement.

If it was revealed in advance, not only Xu Gujie's film but also their films would be affected to a certain extent... maybe a film would have a shooting accident because the heroine was unable to work.

If his work were to be affected by his personal affairs, it would be very difficult for Wang Liyan to recover.

"I only told you this because I know you're tight-lipped." Su Yun added, "Don't tell anyone else about this before you return to Hong Kong."

"No problem. Even if you don't tell me, I won't tell anyone." Zhuang Long was used to keeping secrets, and of course he understood that Su Yun's next sentence was just a habitual supplement.

"But I have another question...Are you really not on good terms with her for any other 'selfish' reasons, other than promoting your juniors and using your friendship to give her a vaccination?" Zhuang Long added slowly.

"I've never been the kind of person who forgets the old for the sake of the new." Facing Zhuang Long's scrutiny, Su Yun looked righteous and confident, "Believe me, maybe sometimes I will chase after the sudden novelty, but when it comes to relationships, I always believe that 'old friends are worse than new ones'."

That's true. Although Su Yun can't control herself when facing new people, the ones who can really cross the line of intimacy are those who have known each other for a long time...

Thinking about the fact that even when Su Yun was "lusting", she really only picked the ripest fruits, and there was no record of her having those chaotic and open-minded ideas, but simply choosing only opposite-sex partners, Zhuang Long still felt a little uncomfortable, but the comparison eased his mood a little.

Compared with Qi Xun, who was tormented by his ex-girlfriend and illegitimate child, Su Yun, who protects herself and respects the other party's choice, seems to be "conscientious"...

It would be best if she could change her mind sooner - of course, provided that her final choice is him.

To be honest, the main reason why he tolerated and let their relationship remain at the dating stage was simply because he was afraid that Su Yun's final choice would not be him.

Even though he had great confidence in himself, and tried his best to make Su Yun's feelings for him deeper in the rare opportunities they had together, if accidents could be predicted, they would not be called accidents by the world.

He had been taking it slow, and Su Yun would at least pretend to be ignorant and enjoy the intimate pleasure of love, so the two of them would still be in a secret relationship that could not be made public; and if he asked for more, Su Yun, who was very good at retreating, might immediately start to take big steps back...

The most terrifying thing is that behind Su Yun, who is retreating, there are still many choices and a group of guys who are waiting to take the position...

Tom, who was quickly dealt with by Su Yun as a "crisis PR" after publicly confessing his love, is the best reference example for these people!

When the target is still unwilling to stay, if you insist on it, you will always be the only one who suffers. Then you will push the target to the opponent, allowing the opponent to get a big advantage for free.

This young person who only knows how to play straight balls according to his heart is still too immature. Unlike me, I always know how to set up a dense and impenetrable net at every possible opportunity, at the closest distance so as not to make the target wary...

Looking at the small hot spring pool surrounded by mist in front of him, Zhuang Long walked even more lightly.

The busy filming schedule is always exhausting, not to mention that Su Yun has to juggle both front and back of the screen. After a busy schedule, she usually takes a quick shower and lies down on the bed when she returns to her room.

If they travel far and shoot late, it is not uncommon for the entire crew to camp on the spot for a short break and then continue working. Therefore, Su Yun's promise to someone before "there will be a chance in the future" is basically equivalent to a blank check during this period...

Until tonight.

Most of the outdoor scenes that required shooting in the mountains have been completed, and the rest can be shot nearby and are easy to shoot. Therefore, Su Yun also gave everyone in the crew a half-day off to combine work and rest. Work will resume tomorrow afternoon, so that the pandas in the crew can have a good sleep...

Workers in Hong Kong film crews have long been accustomed to being exploited to the limit, but even if they are exploited, more pay and more work will definitely be more popular than less pay and more work. What's more, Su Yun has been more or less influenced by the atmosphere in Hollywood. She is more relaxed than those crews that trap people in the studio and don't let them leave. She will always try to give everyone some benefits when they are almost done.

Well, in the past it was a publicly funded tour, but now it is a publicly funded stay in a hot spring hotel - you can go in and soak your stiff muscles and bones in the hot springs with many benefits to feel refreshed, and then go to the lobby to ask the technicians for a massage... This is what a heavenly life is like.

Especially in comparison with another crew: although Su Yun, as the boss and partner, could not show favoritism and took the initiative to cover their group's hot spring massage, the "Legend of Weasley" crew had previously delayed progress due to Xu Gujie's altitude sickness, so now they are still struggling to film in the wild mountains outside, and it will probably take several days before they have time to come back.

Although most of the time she was used to being treated the same as other crew members, Su Yun was busy with the crew of "Grave Robbers" and had to contact the crew of "The Weasley Legend" at the same time. Many times she was out of sync with the crew, so in the end she lived in a single room of a higher level alone to facilitate her work.

Others had no objection to this: most big stars live alone in a single room, and stars often carry valuable and private items with them. If they are taken by the elusive paparazzi or thieves, they would have to take the blame for no reason.

Therefore, in the minds of many experienced workers, when faced with the opportunity to live with a celebrity, most of them do not think it is a good thing, but rather feel that it is quite troublesome - if they meet a difficult person, they will have to temporarily play the role of assistant...

Who is willing to work overtime after a busy day?

Even though Su Yun and Zhuang Long were both easy-going and had good personalities, they would rather share a double room with other people than live with them.

Especially since Su Yun also has the identity of a "boss", no matter how beautiful and gentle she is, once this attribute is attached, people will subconsciously want to avoid her...

Su Yun lay on the edge of the hot spring pool in the small courtyard of her room, and couldn't help sighing: Although she could understand the mentality of workers, this kind of "avoidance" that was almost like abandonment made her a little unhappy...

She didn't know when Qiye and Joey would be back. The signal was not very good when she called them just now. She hung up in a hurry after confirming their location and safety, which made her miss them even more.

While thinking this, I suddenly heard a faint rustling sound coming from behind.

Apart from herself and the hotel staff, there was only one other person who had her room key - and the familiar, clean, yet warm, woody floral scent that came through made Su Yun know who the visitor was without even turning around.

Oh no, I made a promise to pay off the debt happily before, but now they are here to collect the debt...

Su Yun was clinging to the edge of the pool, thinking about what tactics to use to fight this familiar "old acquaintance", when his eyes, which were already blurred by the hot spring smoke, were suddenly covered with a layer of white "mist" that seemed neither transparent nor translucent.

The touch of the satin is smooth and warm, and the person who tied it also adjusted the most suitable range of restraint very gently. Not only does the silk not feel tight at all, but it also makes people feel inexplicably comfortable and peaceful.

"Why are you…"

"Hmph." I could vaguely hear a warm breath and a very low whisper. "Sometimes, I need to give you a little 'fresh feeling' so that you can remember the promises you made... right?"
