Chinese Entertainment 2014: Young Actresses Are Becoming Dazzling

Chapter 98 SY

Chen Duling blinked, her vision finally refocusing.

She stared at Su Yu, her eyes wide:

"Hey! Even though I said you'd get what's coming to you, I really didn't do anything to you!"

"So you're being sincere?"

Su Yu smiled with a hint of amusement.

Seeing him laugh like that, Chen Duling, enraged and embarrassed, picked up the script and slapped him.

"It's an act!"

Su Yu nodded vigorously: "I don't believe it."

Chen Duling slapped him again with the script, then turned around, hugged the script to her chest, and secretly smiled with her head down.

Nobody noticed her little secret~

Actually, she was quite happy.

Xu Yi asked Li Er twelve times, and Su Yu said "Be my girlfriend" to her twelve times.

Which girl would complain about having too much?

Anyway, she doesn't mind.

After finishing work in the evening, Su Yu had dinner with Ou Hao, Ma Sichun, and Chen Duling at the resort's restaurant.

Ou Hao's cold hadn't fully healed, and his voice was very nasal, but he still insisted on having a drink with Su Yu. His reason, however, made Su Yu want to kick him.

"Brother Yu, you had to do twelve takes today! This historic moment deserves a celebration!"

Although Chen Duling was a little embarrassed, Ma Sichun hugged her and laughed so hard she couldn't stand up straight.

After finishing his meal and returning to his room, Su Yu took a shower, changed into his pajamas, and was about to lean against the headboard to look through the call sheet for tomorrow's shoot when there was a sudden knock on the door.

The knocking was very soft, only two knocks. Su Yu initially thought it was a hallucination, as there was a gap of several seconds between the two knocks. It was clear that the person knocking hesitated for a long time after the first knock before mustering the courage to knock a second time.

Su Yu put down the notice, walked to the door, and opened it.

The corridor was dimly lit. Chen Duling stood outside the door, wearing a misty blue knitted cardigan over a white cotton nightgown that reached just to her calves. She wore light blue slippers and curled her ten cute little toes.

Her hair was loose over her shoulders, the ends still damp from a recent shower. She appeared unusually quiet, and somewhat... nervous, in the warm yellow light of the corridor.

She was holding a light gray box, tied with a dark blue ribbon in a neat bow.

"Hmm... Su Yu..."

She called his name softly, her voice carrying a hint of visible nervousness.

"It's cold outside, why don't you come in and talk?" Su Yu didn't ask what was wrong, and stepped aside to make way for the doorway.

Chen Duling shook her head and didn't take a step into the door.

She handed the light gray box forward, cradling it in both hands as if entrusting something very important:

"I won't go in, here, take this."

Su Yu took the box, glanced down at the carefully tied bow, and asked with some confusion:

"What is that?"

"You'll see when you open it."

Chen Duling put her hands behind her back, swayed her feet slightly in place, and her gaze wandered, sometimes landing on his face, sometimes on the fire indicator light at the end of the corridor.

"Um, it's okay if you don't like what's in the box, it's nothing valuable anyway..."

Su Yu gently untied the dark blue ribbon and opened the box.

A scarf lay quietly inside.

It's dark gray, looks very soft, and the stitches are fine and neat, showing that the knitter put a lot of effort and care into each stitch.

At the bottom right corner of the scarf, two very small letters were embroidered in a slightly darker gray thread:

SY.

Su Yu took the scarf out of the box and held it in his hand.

The material isn't the kind of ready-made yarn you can buy outside; it's like hand-spun cashmere yarn, with a very soft and smooth feel and a faint fragrance.

"ah..."

Su Yu was momentarily moved, clutching the scarf, unsure what to say first. He simply smiled at Chen Duling and asked:

"When did you knit this?"

"Just these past few days, when I went back to Xiamen to film last time, I saw some materials for sale in town, so I bought some. Anyway, I have nothing to do when I'm not filming at night, so I just knit for fun."

Chen Duling spoke casually, but her evasive eyes betrayed her.

Last week, Ma Sichun and Ou Hao were so exhausted. I heard that their schedules were booked until 7 or 8 pm every day. After work, they still had to remove their makeup, take a shower, go over the script, and memorize the lines for the next day. Where did they find any time to do nothing?

Su Yu didn't point it out to her.

He held the scarf in his hand and squeezed it, then looked up at Chen Duling. Her eyes shone brightly in the dim light of the corridor. With her expectant look on her face, Su Yu placed the box in her hand and carefully tied the scarf around her neck.

"Does it look good?" Su Yu asked, glancing up at Chen Duling after finishing tying the knot.

"It looks great! What do you think?"

"It's prettier than all my scarves."

Su Yu chuckled.

Chen Duling's lips finally couldn't hold back any longer, and a bright smile appeared on her face. She tried her best to make her voice sound calm, but she just couldn't suppress the smile.

"Really? You're not kidding me?"

When have I ever lied to you?

"Would you wear it?"

Chen Duling's eyes lit up again as she awaited Su Yu's answer.

"Of course, I'll wear it tomorrow. How about wearing it to the Shanghai Theatre Academy?"

Chen Duling stared in shock, her mouth agape, completely unprepared for Su Yu's response.

"W-W-Really? Is this okay?"

"Of course!" Su Yu smiled confidently at her.

"Hehehe..."

As Chen Duling watched Su Yu fold the scarf again and put it back in the box, she suddenly felt something settle down in her heart.

She took a step back, waved her hands gently in front of her, and said happily:

"Alright! I'm going back now! Goodnight, Su Yu!!!"

Goodnight~

Su Yu leaned against the door frame, watching her figure disappear at the end of the corridor before closing the door, placing the box on the bedside table, and picking up his phone.

[Su Yu]: Thank you so much. It's been a long time since I've received such a thoughtful gift.

Chen Duling replied instantly.

【Chen Duling】: Hmph.

[Chen Duling]: Remember to wear it tomorrow!

[Su Yu]: Of course.

The next morning, Su Yu indeed appeared on set wearing that dark gray scarf.

Early mornings on Dongshan Island don't require heavy winter gear, but the sea breeze carries a damp chill that still sends shivers down your spine.

Su Yu wrapped the scarf around his neck twice, tied the end into a stylish knot, and draped it over his collar. The tassels of the scarf swayed gently as he walked.

Chen Duling arrived a little earlier than him and was sitting on the set, holding a cup of hot soy milk to warm her hands.

She saw Su Yu walking over from afar, and when she saw the gray color on Su Yu's clothes, she couldn't help but smile.

Ma Sichun gently nudged her arm:

"Wow! What a fangirl! She's not even trying to hide it anymore?!"
