Chapter 35 Im very easy to please

She hadnt expected Lin Xias abilities to have increased to such an extent in the time they hadnt seen each other.

Why are you laughing? Chu Xi looked confused.

After a long while, Su Yi finally managed to stop laughing, shaking her head as she said, Later when were filming, dont make any sounds, otherwise if you get chased out Im not going to care about you.

This was a scene with her and Wu Ke. The set was ready, the props were in place and standing amidst it all was Wu Ke was in an old-fashioned suit. Upon seeing Su Yi, he said with a smile, Little Yi, the one beside you is?

Sister. Su Yi smiled pleasantly and tilted her head. Im good.

The scene was only two minutes and one conversation. Both were in good condition, so it flowed smoothly and was passed in the first go.

After its over, Su Yi went to change into something else to catch the next scene, and saw Wu Ke standing beside Chu Xi when coming out, saying something with a smile.

Wu Xue followed her, asking, Thats Director Chus sister?

Su Yi left an affirmative grunt before walking over, just in time to hear Wu Kes Your eyes are really pretty.

Before Chu Xi spoke, Li Min shouted this way. Wu Ke, come over here, Im going to talk about the next scene.

Coming. Before going, Wu Ke left behind, Little sister, lets chat later.

Chat my ass!

Wu Ke had just left when Su Yi turned around and said, Go wait for me in the make-up room.

What! Chu Xi propped up her chin. I want to watch you guys film.

Su Yi said straightforwardly, Im afraid Wu Ke would eat you up and not even spit the bones out, Id be unable to explain that to your brother.

Him? Chu Xi looked disgusted and put off. Relax, I dont like old men.

Wu Xue walked over to Chu Xi and hurried her. Ill watch her, you go film, Director Li is asking you to hurry up.

After his scene, Wu Ke still wanted to go find Chu Xi. Su Yi had yet to manage to speak when Tu Jinglan came up.

Ke-ge, Tu Jinglan smiled brightly. She had already changed into something easy, a pink spaghetti strap dress that revealed a lot of skin and then some more when one leaned closer. Lets go eat together? I was waiting for you.

Wu Ke put on a smile too. Sure, my treat.

Wu Ke had a very elegant and refined appearance, like a cultured person, the sort of handsome that came from being well-read and completely different from the casanova type. With his good acting skills and strong support team, its no wonder so many little girls liked him.

Seeing that the problem had been somewhat resolved by Tu Jinglan, Su Yi no longer stuck around, nodding as a greeting before leaving.

When she came back, the two were no longer in their seats. She had just entered the make-up room when she saw Chu Xi looking at Wu Xue with reverence.

Really? Chu Xi said anxiously. She really redid her whole face? Her fans talk every day about how shes a completely natural beauty.

Wu Xue huffed. Her company has had to spend copious amounts of money every year on this sort of news. Whenever someone questioned it, a huge water army (paid posters) would go up and attack them. So, she has plenty of fans and plenty of haters.

Su Yi was confused. Who are you talking about?

Wu Xue named a currently famous celebrity.

Why do you like talking about other people so much? Su Yi sat in front of the mirror, took the make-up remover and started removing her make-up. Whats wrong with cosmetic surgery, anyone would like to be prettier, its normal.

Chu Xi tsked and leant closer to ask Wu Xue in a whisper. Did she go for cosmetic surgery too?

Wu Xue said sincerely, Actually no.

I want to. Su Yi looked very upset. Being too beautiful is a burden.

Chu Xi said, She really is thick-skinned.

Wu Xue echoed, Yeah, she is.

After two knocks An Xuan entered. Seeing that Su Yi was taking off her own make-up, she immediately jogged up and said, Yi-jie, Ill help you remove your make-up.

Whats up with you recently? Su Yi asked, her hands were still busy. Last few days when I wasnt around, its understandable that you took leave, now that Im on the set you can still vanish for such a long time?

Im sorry. An Xuan immediately apologised. I went out to take a call.

Wu Xue couldnt hold back anymore either. Ive been sitting here for twenty minutes and I didnt see you, how long did that call take? Were working here, you have to distinguish between private business and work.

An Xuan started apologising again.

Su Yi found it a little annoying, and it just happened that she was done removing her make-up. She got up and, after wiping her face carefully with a wet towel, said, Alright, just be more careful next time.

Although she didnt say anything too serious, she was too used to portraying villainous characters on screen. Her whole person gave others the impression of someone serious.

Just one sentence had An Xuans eyes reddened. She nodded, silently picked up Su Yis clutch and followed the trio out of the make-up room.

Yi-jie, going back? Tu Jinglan was standing not far away waiting for Wu Ke to finish his scenes. When she saw Su Yi, she flashed a smile yet not a smile and called out in greeting.

Su Yi nodded. Yeah, goodbye.

Hey! Tu Jinglan sounded surprised. Why are you crying?

She meant the person at the end, An Xuan.

An Xuan paused, then shook her head. Its, its nothing.

Su Yi looked behind her. She really just wanted to see what it was with An Xuan, but she didnt expect the others eyes to redden even more once she met her eyes.

Dont cry. Tu Jinglan suddenly took out some tissues from her bag and gave it to An Xuan. Yi-jie is really strict with even herself, you need to be more focused if youre working for her. Dont think too much about it, Yi-jies actually quite a nice person.

An Xuan hurriedly waved her hands. No, no, its my own business, nothing to do with Yi-jie.

Her hand was soft and weak, and her explanation was even stranger.

Finding it funny, Su Yi said, My assistant doesnt need your worry, you can be nicer to your own.

Hearing this, Tu Jinglans body froze.

A while ago, as her assistant accidentally spilled some cold water on her, shed slapped the other twice. Later, Lin Xia brushed it under the carpet by giving the assistant hush money.

But they werent the only ones there then, and Tu Jinglans team wasnt the tightest bunch; it didnt take long for the news to reach Wu Xue.

Tu Jinglan, who was under the impression shed done a good job keeping things under wraps, was dazed for a moment before recovering. Ive always been good to my assistant.

Su Yi sneered and didnt continue the conversation, turning around and walking out of the set.

**

Back at the hotel, once Su Yi entered the room she made a video call to Chu Ying. After about ten seconds, the other picked up.

The others angle was very strange from bottom up, an angle that even the legendary Pan An couldnt look good in. Its good that Chu Ying was more handsome than Pan An.

Su Yi silently complimented him in her heart and, seeing the city nightscape outside the window in his background, asked casually, Youre home?

No, Chu Ying put down his cup and asked, Did Chu Xi annoy you?

From the other side came Chu Xis voice. I didnt! Im staying here obediently!

Su Yi held back her laughter, walked to the balcony and said softly, Little girls are easy to please.

Chu Yings expression didnt change as he asked, Are you easy to please?

Very easy to please, Su Yi said sincerely. Kiss me a few times and Ill forget everything.

Chu Ying raised an eyebrow and said, So easy?

Su Yi nodded. If you dont believe it, you can try it the next time.

Just when she finished speaking, she heard some short laughter from the other side.

Su Yi paused. Where are you, why do I hear some other peoples voices.

Chu Ying held back his laughter. Im in a meeting.

Su Yi was confused, very confused.

Chu Ying opened the phones camera and casually moved it around.

She saw more than ten people sitting at the long table, a laptop and a folder in front of every person. They had uniform expressions, as theyre all looking to the front, as if they had no clue what was happening beside. Written clearly on their face was We really heard nothing, please relax its all fine.

[E/D: am still laughing imagining this scene, by far my fav]

Su Yi paused for two seconds before she hung up.

Chu Ying smiled briefly and sent her a message. When he put the phone back into his front pocket, his smile vanished in a jiffy. Continue reporting.

At once the mood in the office went from light to heavy.

The assistant was long since used to this. His boss was basically a face-shifting monster.

Su Yi went back to the room with her phone.

Wu Xue couldnt help teasing her. Are you serious, just a call and your face can become this red?

Chu Xi was sitting sideways on the sofa, focused on her phone.

Maybe I havent gotten all my makeup off. Su Yi covered her face with her hands. Why dont you go back to your room?

I have something to discuss with you. Wu Xue took out a little notebook from her bag. Look at it, I have written it down.

What?

Isnt it your birthday soon? Wu Xue said. These are birthday plans suggested by the company, therere three, pick one.

Su Yi was a little surprised. Its so soon?

She flipped through those. The three were almost the same, the only difference being the venue and the events happening.

Actually, she hadnt had many birthdays when she was young. It was only after she became an actress that she celebrated her birthday more, though rather than calling it a celebration it would be more accurate to term it as a meet-up with fans. Every year there would be a couple dozens of her fans celebrating together at some place, considered a bonus for the fans.

She hesitated, then said, This year I want to celebrate my birthday by myself.

Wu Xue said, Thats not too good, youve always spent it with your fans. Recently theres plenty of fans on your Weibo asking when the sign-ups for this years party will begin.

What age is this? Chu Xi said without looking up. Still holding parties? If you really want to thank your fans, do a livestream, your safetys guaranteed and it doesnt limit the number of people who wish to join.

Oh that actually sounds like a good idea. Wu Xues eyes brightened. Its just nice that recently theres a live streaming platform looking for celebrities to livestream.

After she finished speaking, she didnt wait for Su Yi to react before happily rushing out to call the company.

Su Yi came back to herself, sat down beside Chu Xi and asked, What do you need to do in a livestream?

She had only been to livestreams for magazine interviews with a host beside her. She really had no idea how to do a livestream on her own.

Sing, chat or play games. Chu Xi looked a little disgusted. You cant have not watched livestreams?

No. I dont sing well, I can chat, as for games Su Yi felt embarrassed and in a bid to find something that she could do, she said, Is it okay to livestream Pair-Up/Pair-Match or Link-Up?

Chu Xi was speechless.
