"Xiao Er, why are you staring blankly at your phone? You look so lost, are you still worried about not returning the clothes?"
It was lunchtime, and Lin Shuqin brought over a boxed lunch, opened the lid for her, and handed it to her.
That night, when Lin Shuqin turned back to pick her up, she saw Su Er standing alone by the roadside, lost in thought.
These past few days, I've often seen her either staring blankly at that dress or holding her phone with a bitter and resentful look on her face. How could I not ask her a few questions?
Su Er subconsciously turned off her phone screen, casually put it on the table, and said with a smile, "No, I was just thinking about what time to book my flight home."
Her filming wrapped up today. The flight from the north to the south of the city is only a little over two hours, and there are flights available tonight.
Su Er brushed aside her question for the moment. After thinking for a moment, Lin Shuqin said, "Let's book for tomorrow, otherwise it will be too rushed. Let Lao Chen take you to the airport."
Su Er refused, "No need, I'll just take a taxi. It'll also give Uncle Chen and Lili a break."
Fang Li was halfway through her lunch when she heard this, and quickly looked up to emphasize, "Sister Er'er, I'll miss you."
Su Er smiled and reminded her, "It's okay to have fun during the holiday, but Lili, please don't drink alcohol!"
Fang Li's ears turned red when she heard this. Although she had drunk so much that she had blacked out, Lin Shuqin had filmed several videos of her "talking big".
When she saw it, she was so ashamed that she couldn't bear to face anyone.
Fang Li shook her head vigorously, "I won't drink anymore! I really won't!"
Lin Shuqin chuckled, feeling a bit lighter, but didn't forget to remind Su Er, "You too, during your vacation, try to smoke and drink less. Take care of your weight and skin, don't come crying to me when you don't look good on camera!"
Su Er pursed her lips and sighed silently, "Sister Qin, I'm going home to live. Do you think it's possible for what you're saying to happen?"
Lin Shuqin recalled the last time she went back to dinner with Su Er.
That's true, her parents are much stricter than she is.
But Lin Shuqin wasn't entirely convinced by Su Er, and glanced at her, "Are you really that well-behaved?"
Su Er raised an eyebrow and smiled, "I'm very good, okay?"
Lin Shuqin pinched her cheek. "You're all talk. Hurry up and eat. We have a scene to film this afternoon."
Su Er stopped joking around and took a nap after dinner while she wasn't acting.
At 2 PM, she finished filming her last scene on set.
"Click!"
"Xiao Er, congratulations on wrapping up filming!"
"Congratulations, Sister Er'er!"
Fang Li handed her a large bouquet of flowers. Su Er usually got along well with everyone on set, and the surrounding staff also gathered around to congratulate her.
Su Er thanked them one by one and then treated the crew to milk tea. By the time they returned to the hotel, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.
Lin Shuqin escorted her to the hotel, then picked up her bag and didn't go back to her room. "Xiao Er, I have a meeting at the company, so I'll be leaving now. Are you alright?"
"no problem."
Just as she was about to close the door, Lin Shuqin reached out and stopped her, saying, "Remember to call me when you get home. Wear your mask and hat properly, and don't try to be lazy and save yourself trouble."
Su Er nodded several times, "I understand."
After seeing Lin Shuqin off, Su Er lay in bed and booked a flight for tomorrow morning using an app.
After finally finishing filming, Su Er felt relieved and lay in bed feeling lazy, dragging her feet and not bothering to get up and pack her luggage.
Su Er scrolled to her chat app, clicked on a strawberry bear profile picture, and sent a message: 【I'm going back to Nancheng tomorrow.】
A few minutes later, Xi Wangshu called directly. The background noise was a bit loud. "When are you landing? What bad timing! I'm leading a team to a seminar at Soochow University these past two days. How long are you staying?"
Su Er changed her position and lay face down on the bed. "It should be around noon. I'll be staying for half a month."
Xi Wangshu cheered, "Great! I'll be back in a week, let's get together for a meal then! It's been so long since we last saw each other."
She and Xi Wangshu have been friends since childhood. Their parents were colleagues. Although he was a few years older than her, they attended the same school from elementary school to high school.
When Su Er chose to apply for the acting department, her family did not support her. It was her parents who stepped in and persuaded her for a long time.
Although they went to university in different cities and saw each other much less often, their relationship remained as strong as ever.
Xi Wangshu found a quiet spot and asked her in a sly tone, "And you, have you had any romantic encounters lately?"
A figure suddenly popped into Su Er's mind, and her heart skipped a beat for no reason. Feeling a little guilty, she raised her voice, "What nonsense are you talking about? Running between the hotel and the film set every day, what romantic encounter could you possibly have?"
Xi Wangshu retorted, "Well, I was just worried about your physical needs. Tell me, ever since that breakup in college, I haven't heard you say you've been in a relationship. It's been so long, you can't still be hung up on that one, can you?"
Su Er didn't want to continue the conversation and threatened, "Where did you get to? I'm hanging up!"
Xi Wangshu quickly stopped her, "Hey, stop, stop, let's not talk about this anymore, let's chat about gossip, I have a lot of things to ask you."
By the time Su Er finished explaining the relationship between the rising star and the queen of pop to Xi Wangshu, it was already six o'clock.
Before hanging up the phone, Su Er reminded her, "Don't tell my parents about my trip back to Nancheng. I wanted to get some sleep when I got home."
"OK, OK."
The call ended, but the screen remained on the WeChat chat interface.
