Seemingly near yet far
After the accidental kiss incident was over, Sugao, who had let go of her grudge, returned to Yingran's team, and her happy life on the set returned.
When she is needed to act as a background board, she will go to work. When she is not needed, she will chat with everyone or organize the information she has collected.
She didn't know if it was her imagination, but she noticed that whenever Yingran took a break, his team would get busy with various things, leaving her, Yingran, and Xiaogao alone in the same circle. At these times, Xiaogao would put on the serious demeanor of a bodyguard, keeping a cold face and standing by, keeping a certain distance from her and Yingran.
Under such circumstances, she and Yingran began to communicate more frequently.
He always liked asking her questions about acting... It was fine, as long as he didn't ask her to help rehearse the kissing scene like before. Who knew, there might be other unexpected things happening.
As the two of them communicated more, Sugao's impression of Yingran became better and better.
He looks sunny and handsome and has an easy-going personality. Who wouldn’t like such a big boy!
Because of this, Sugao and Yingran became more familiar with each other.
However, Sugao still had some defenses in his body, but he still did not let them down...
On this day, Suga, who was suddenly assigned a filming task, entered the studio.
Ying Ran, who happened to be taking a break from the studio, sat next to where Sugao's personal belongings were piled. His idea was to help his sister keep an eye on her things.
In fact, no one else would take the things thrown away casually, but Yingran thought that such small actions could make him feel that he seemed to have become closer to his sister... He liked to indulge in such thoughts.
Maybe because he left in a hurry, but Ying Ran noticed that Sugao's cell phone was not put into the bag, so he just threw it on a notebook.
A beautiful woman's phone, without any decoration, is just a simple, clean, bare phone, which seems to be completely inconsistent with her image. However, it seems to reveal her true heart, doing things and speaking in a simple and direct way, without any fancy formalities.
Just as Yingran was staring at Sugao's cell phone in a trance, he was suddenly startled by a crackling sound... Someone was calling.
Yingran took a look and saw the words Yuanli pop up on the phone screen... This was Sugao's good friend.
Sometimes on the set, I hear her chatting with her friends on the phone, and from time to time she'll say "Xiao Lili, A Li", her tone is mixed with fake seriousness, playful banter, and the sweet intimacy that only friends can have...
Or to be more precise, this Yuanli is my sister's best friend.
As Ying Ran watched, something unexpected happened to the vibrating phone...
The surface of the notebook under the phone was very smooth. Due to the vibration, the phone twisted left and right like a winding snake...The notebook itself was thrown there randomly, and the bottom was not flat, so the twisting of the phone caused the original balance to be lost. The notebook and the phone seemed to be about to fall down. Seeing this, Yingran subconsciously reached out to catch it.
The surface of the phone without a case was also very smooth. Ying Ran quickly grabbed the phone but couldn't hold it steady. The smooth phone seemed to be escaping from his palm like a loach. Ying Ran quickly used his other hand... After a flurry of movements, Ying Ran successfully caught the falling phone, but accidentally slipped the answer button, and a crisp voice quickly leaked out of the microphone.
"My dear beautiful Suga, school is about to start in two days, why haven't you come back yet? What's the matter? Are you addicted to being an extra and don't want to come back to class anymore?"
nut?
Is this your sister's nickname?
Doubts suddenly flooded into Ying Ran's mind, and she asked uncontrollably, "Her name is Jianguo?"
Instead of the expected familiar teasing voice, a deep, rich, and somewhat familiar male voice came out... Yuan Li on the other end of the phone was immediately startled. She immediately became alert and asked,
"Who are you? Why did you take this phone? Who is the owner of this phone?"
Ying Ran seemed not to have heard Yuan Li's question, but continued with what she had just said: "You just said her name is Jianguo? Is that her nickname?"
"No, who are you? How did you get this phone?" Yuan Li, who was afraid that Sugao had lost his phone, asked more and more questions.
"Tell me quickly, who are you? How did you get this phone?" Yuanli asked repeatedly in a fierce tone.
"I..." Yuanli's rapid-fire speech made it impossible for Yingran to cope with it and he couldn't get a word in.
"Listen to me!" When he tried to raise his voice to interrupt Yuan Li, a rough shout suddenly came from his ear.
"Hey, what's wrong with you? Why did you answer my call?"
Suga has already come out of the studio.
On the other end of the phone, Yuanli successfully heard the familiar voice of Sugao and paused her passionate outburst.
In her ears, she could only hear intermittent shouting coming from the other side. Yuanli tried hard to hear clearly... but the avatar deliberately covered the receiver, making it impossible to hear clearly.
What's going on?
From Suga's tone, it seemed that she knew the man, but she didn't say that she had any acquaintances on the crew, especially of the opposite sex.
Could it be that this woman was secretly having a love affair on the set without telling me?
Yuan Li, who was full of doubts, found that the other side of the receiver suddenly became quiet, and then Jianguo's voice sounded.
"Yuanli, why did you call me suddenly? Did you miss me?"
As if the quarrel just now had never happened, Sugao started with the familiar teasing.
Yuanli's voice was filled with a smile. "No, no, no, Sister Guo, I don't miss you anymore. Now, I'd rather know some gossip about you. Who was that guy who just answered your phone? Did you hook up with the leading actor on the set?"
The male lead is the male lead, but hooking up is a misnomer.
Jianguo didn't want to explain everything to Yuanli at this time and wanted to pass over the topic, but Yuanli, who was curious, would not let her go easily.
"Tell me the truth quickly, are you secretly in love?"
Jianguo's tone was vague: "We are just passing by..."
When Yuanli heard Sugano's tone of reluctance to talk, she thought she was trying to play dumb and immediately interrupted, "Stop yawning and tell the truth! Otherwise, I'll just assume you've admitted it. From now on, I'll classify you as a 'married woman.'"
"Hey, hey, hey, you're exaggerating!" An unhappy Suga suddenly yelled, "What do you mean by 'married man'? What affair? What are you admitting? There's nothing. I'm innocent. I was suddenly called away by the assistant director to be a background person, and I just threw my phone on the stool. If you call me again out of the blue, my colleagues in the same crew will probably pick up the phone with multiple hands."
Yuan Li didn't elaborate on this explanation, but rather argued back, "Miss Jianguo, don't you always dislike others touching your things? How could you just leave something as private as your phone there? Don't fool me, I don't believe it!"
"My little cutie Yuanli, I really didn't lie to you!" Faced with Yuanli's entanglement, Sugao felt a little headache.
It’s all my fault for teasing Xiao Lili and Zhan Jing too much about their relationship, which is why I have to suffer the consequences now.
Hearing the helplessness in Jianguo's tone, Yuanli, whose heart began to waver, asked tentatively: "Really?"
Suga immediately became serious and earnest: "We're not in a relationship! I swear!"
Hearing this, Yuan Li, who was reluctantly convinced, returned his attention to the main topic.
"So when will you be back? School starts next week. Don't you need to take a few days off beforehand?"
"Two more days, we still have some scenes to finish." The director had just told her that some scenes in her earlier filming of the villainous female supporting role needed reshooting, saying the set wasn't very good. But the daily filming schedule was incredibly tight, so they could only squeeze in some time on days when they could finish quickly, so they asked her to stay a few more days.
"Isn't there only three days in the first week of school? I guess I can't go back until the second week." The problem with the set had nothing to do with him. Sugao agreed to the director's request for reshoots, but also said that his schedule was very tight and he couldn't stay in Hengdian for too long, so he asked the director to arrange the time for the reshoots as soon as possible.
Yuanli: "Okay. So, is everything going well for you on the set?"
Suga: "Not bad."
It was inconvenient on the set after all, so the two sisters chatted casually for a few minutes and then hung up the phone.
Holding the phone, Jianguo walked up to Yingran, his face not looking very good, "Why did you answer my call?"
Yingran, who had been waiting to explain everything to her sister, recounted the situation with a nervous look.
Since it was an unintentional mistake, Sugao couldn't continue with any harsh or blaming words.
I just secretly reminded myself to put my phone back into my bag before entering the studio next time.
Seeing Jianguo's expression soften, Yingran, still filled with doubt, asked cautiously, "Sister, is your name Jianguo? Is that a nickname? Or is it your real name?"
But is there anyone with the surname Jian?
"You, isn't your name Yingluo?" Sugao didn't respond, but seeing that there was no displeasure on her face, Yingran couldn't help but add another sentence.
Jianguo, who felt a little conflicted when Yingran asked him the first time, explained, "Yingluo is my stage name."
Since she came to Hengdian as an extra, her real name has never been revealed.
Normally, you don’t need your real name to grab the notice, just say a random name.
She didn't originally want to be an actor, so in her heart, she always wanted to keep a little distance between herself and Hengdian.
Seeing Jianguo's response, Yingran followed suit: "So, Jianguo is my sister's real name?"
Sugao nodded his chin lightly.
Anyway, her last name is rare, so it doesn't matter even if she admits it. Many people don't even know how to write it.
Seeing Suga nod, Yingran's eyes flashed with realization... Turns out, her sister's name is Jianguo.
What a cute name.
Ying Ran, who still had doubts, couldn't help but ask again: "So, sister, are you still a student?"
Suga nodded again.
Ying Ran: "A student from the Film and Television Academy?"
This time, Suga shook his head: "No."
But there was no more detailed answer.
When Ying Ran was about to open his mouth again, Jianguo stopped him: "Okay, stop asking questions! Your scene is about to start filming."
Someone has come to remind me.
Yingran opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but finally closed her lips.
At this moment, he couldn't help feeling a little lost.
During this period, I gradually became closer to my sister and thought I understood her better, but I found that she was still very far away from me.
He knew nothing about his sister's real name, which school she attended, or where she was from.
Could it be that my sister already has someone she likes?
