Arc 1: The President"s Unfaithful Lover Chapter Thirteen
Ever since their relationship was established again, Su Yang found that Fu Zhou became more and more shameless, the gentle, elegant and honest man from before seemed to have disappeared overnight.
Of course, he still maintains the well-dressed, social elite image in public but there is that subtle change with the way he carries himself. He will touch and hug him when no ones watching, Su Yang is filled with dread but dares not speak it out loud.
It might also be because the progress bar"s continuous rise every day, he concluded lamely.
That"s right, it"s because of that!
November came soon, Su Yang, joined the film crew with reluctant eyes of Fu Zhou following him.
The movie was a popular teenage, high school story. Although there isn"t any complex love triangle or adolescent girl abortion and other mad settings, there is still the ‘broke up because of misunderstandings" and studying abroad cliches.
Since the man is going away, who would keep the girl company? Of course, it has to be a man, Su Yang"s role is this 10, 000 years spare – the second male lead!
Have to say, Fu Zhou really picked a good script. For a newbie, it"s good if the character they portray is clearly described, down to what they are supposed to feel so they can easily follow through with their actions. What other role sucked more than this sweetly affectionate man?? Anyway, the audience for this movie targets teenage girls, his role can probably gain a lot of fans.
And as far as character is concerned, Su Yang"s temperament which is clean and pure suits his character as an affectionate man maintaining a clean reputation, standing on the sides while quietly watching the female lead, rather than a man who turns his head in another direction. Even if his acting is poor, just his appearance alone can meet the desired conditions.
The director and screenwriter think so too, so him using the back door is actually not bad, at least there isn"t any open hostility.
Su Yang is good at grasping opportunities as they come, coupled with a flattering personality, it didn"t take long for him to mingle with the people in the set. From the director, screenwriter to the field service, everyone had a good opinion of him.
His plays aren"t many. The mission of the second male lead is to lend a helping hand whenever the female lead is frustrated or in trouble. Whenever the male lead shows up, he would quietly retreat. Sometimes his plays take up more resources.
However, the director was shocked by his acting skills. His acting urged him to give him more screen time. The purpose of this was to make his characters demise more, cough, more melancholy…
Su Yang was already packing his luggage at the hotel and was planning to go home but was interrupted by a phone call, summoning him back to the studio.
“I haven"t made my exit yet, how can I have more screen time?” (T/N: I don"t understand why that"s a problem… (@[email protected]?))
The big brother of the set, tiredly answered: “It was Director w.a.n.g"s idea, I wanted to complain too but it is better if we just add this play than delete it. This shows that the director specifically made it for you. Quickly come so we can finish the scene layout. I"ll wait for you.”
He leisurely replied with: “Alright, I understand. I"ll be there soon.”
Su Yang hangs up, looked at someone then smiled happily: “It"s for the drama, Director w.a.n.g needed me…”
Fu Zhou who was sitting opposite Su Yang, with a pair of dark eyes that glared at him.
“Seems like you and Director w.a.n.g have a good relationship, because of the movie, you didn"t allow me to come to visit you this month, my calls aren"t answered eight out of ten times. Now that I"ve come to you to take you back home, that crew added another scene. The entertainment world made you a demon!”
Demon my a.s.s! Do you think I want to stay? The slow progress makes me anxious too you know!
He did prevent Fu Zhou to come to see him. The reason is very simple. Although he used his relationship with Fu Zhou to enter the set, there were few people who knew about this. Even though he is still young, his strength relies on this line of work, everyone admired him for who he is. If this incident is exposed, all his hard work may come to nothing.
As for not answering the phone…
He tiredly explained: “My phone was set to silent all year round, I can"t answer it if I wasn"t even aware of it!”
Fu Zhou countered with a cold expression: “You will see my missed calls later so why didn"t you call back?”
Su Yang: “…”
Fu Zhou: “…”
Two people were caught in an impa.s.se for a few minutes, Su Yang honestly responded: “In fact, my mobile phone gets off on credit, I currently don"t have the money to pay the bill, so I can only answer calls…”
This phrase made Fu Zhou"s whole face turn black.
He"s been scratching his lungs for a month, that"s why! It"s not romantic at all! (T/N: Really sorry but I don"t understand this part, so I left it as it is.)
On the other hand, Su Yang who was waiting for him to let him go, didn"t care one bit about Fu Zhou"s pa.s.sionate heart, unfortunately, he is the main target and so he can"t just leave him behind or else the progress would decrease, again, and that would be bad.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Su Yang righteously stood in front of Fu Zhou, facing the cold expression of the president while forcibly suppressing his anxiety, leaning over the man"s forehead and gently pressing a kiss.
His movements were too light and too fast. Fu Zhou was only able to feel it as though a feathers touch, carrying a sweet scent before it left, not even waiting for him to savor it but the culprit was already a meter away from him with a smile.
“This is my gift for you, were you satisfied?”
The clear voice pa.s.sed through Fu Zhou"s ears as if it carried something magical, resonating in his head, all negative emotions were repelled, leaving only a pink heart-shaped bubble that keeps growing.
——Being comforted! A president is clear on what he wants.
But…
“Not satisfied,” he responded coldly.
He needs at least a dozen or more times to compensate him after more than a months anxiety!
Su Yang looked at Fu Zhou, blinking innocently while acting spoiled: “Husband~ I need to go for that last scene, can we continue this discussion at home?”
Fu Zhou"s ears moved slightly. Husband?! The muscles on his cheeks were obviously twitching a few times. His tone was hard and demanding: “Fine, I"ll help you pack your bags. When everything"s been taken care of, give me a message, I"ll pick you up at the studio.”
Su Yang nodded but couldn"t help feeling awkward in his heart, seeing as his reaction was cold and his face tells him that he should not have called him husband! Then he suddenly heard a series of prompts from the system.
Current progress: 78%
Current progress: 79%
……
Current progress: 88%
Su Yang: “…”
This person is unexpectedly generous!
It was really hard trying to balance the grammar while not letting out details that are important to the plot. Some phrases are just full of that Chinese feel but won"t be good for the grammar and make it hard to be understood by English readers.
Anyways thanks for staying with me, I appreciate it very much especially since my infrequent updates might have forced some to just resort to mtl. Stay tuned!!~
