CHAPTER. 37 Sending Chicken Soup

Just a scrape of the knee, it shouldn't leave a scar, right?

Just as Su Shen wanted to say something, she saw Xie Yan stand up. Momentarily, she didn't know what to say.

The others tacitly continued doing whatever they were doing, but they felt that they might have discovered something extraordinary.

"Yep, yep, there will be a scar! Scars absolutely mustn't be left on girls, else it'll be ugly!" Zhao Tong hurriedly added.

Trying to remain indifferent, Su Shen looked at Xie Yan and pointed at the Director, "I'm going to go over the script with the Director."

After saying that, she quickly walked towards the Director before he could react.

Su Shen actually didn't know what to do. Unlike the past, she didn't want to enter into a relationship at such a young age, but Xie Yan didn't explicitly say that he liked her, so she couldn't refuse. However, they were filming here everyday and were certain to cross paths regularly, let alone hide from him every time.

Looking at her receding figure, Zhao Tong sighed inwardly. He didn't understand why Su Shen was so stupid. Wasn't their Yan ge obvious enough?

Or, was this actually a refusal in disguise?

The next few scenes went pretty well, and they finally finished filming before dark.

After returning to the hotel, Su Shen asked Xiao Zhou to buy a takeout for her. Then, she turned on her laptop to look at the script that Liu jie sent her.

There was a small production school life film that was not bad, and the plot was not too melodramatic either. Although it was not a big production, Su Shen felt that it was okay to start small first, since a big production wouldn't turn to her anyways.

There was also a crime drama invested by Starlight Entertainment. It was mainly centered around the male lead, and it was reported that they had already invited Li Hao to play as the male lead. The remaining roles would be allocated to actors and actresses from the company. The dramas produced by their company were generally not too bad, and Su Shen was also rather interested in this kind of drama.

At the same time, today was the official announcement of the modern drama. They also released the posters for each character. The topic had firmly occupied the top three spots of Hot Search, and the comments below were fiercely fighting with one another.

Netizen A: As soon as she debuted, she played as a female lead. She acted with a best actor and best actress for her first film. Later, she even replaced Mu Yao as the female lead for Green Blood Sword. Now, Xie Yan's TV series debut is even given to her. Is Miss Su's next production going to be a Hollywood blockbuster?

Netizen B: Even Yang Zhi was replaced, she's deserving of being the"Empress Snatcher"!

Netizen C: It's the first I've seen a drama where the supporting female lead is more famous than the female lead. Does Miss Su want to use her poor acting to make Li Xue a hit?

Netizen D: Just be jealous, you antis. Our Su Su is still the female lead, and her beauty can KO a plastic surgery face in a second!

Netizen E: OMG! My hubby's actually filming an idol drama. I'm a little scared; there must absolutely be no kiss scenes!

Netizen F: Am I the only one who's looking a little forward to it? Although Su Shen's acting cannot be commented on, her beauty needs no words and her long legs would be all over the screen. [joy]

Netizen G: Su Shen's simply a winner in life! With a good family, good looks, good figure, and interactions with so many handsome men, she must've saved the galaxy in her previous life. [joy]

Netizen H: AHHHHH! My hubby's so handsome, I want to lick the screen!

Su Shen had long been immune to these comments. She was indeed blocking the way of too many people, and those people would certainly not let her film in peace.

Celebrities were bright on the surface, but who knew how ugly their hearts were behind the scenes. For example, Qu Wen. She didn't know whether these actors were handsome or not, it was fine as long as they were of good character. Those that entered this industry were either due to interest or for the money. The money she had earned, she had to share half of it with the company after tax was deducted. It couldn't be helped, the contract stated so, unless she opened her own studio. But it was a little far away for the time being.

She sent a message to Liu jie, telling her that the two scripts were acceptable, and then she went to take a shower and went to bed.

The second day of filming was to film the last part of the script. It just so happened that the set of that scene was set up, so they naturally had to film it beforehand. However, this scene made Su Shen a little embarrassed.

"Su Shen, can you wear 10 cm high heels?" The stylist asked from the shoe rack.

Su Shen sat in front of the vanity, allowing the makeup artist to do her makeup and responded, "Yes."

Because this scene needed her to be taller…

"Su jie, your phone is ringing." Just at this moment, Xiao Zhou suddenly took her phone out from her bag.

Su Shen took it and saw that it was her mom!

As soon as the call connected, Mama Su's high pitched voice transmitted through, "Shen Shen, are you at Mashi street in the Nanyun district?"

Hearing this, Su Shen immediately raised her hand to indicate to the makeup artist to pause, and she couldn't help but curiously put her phone to her ear, "Yeah, what's wrong?"

"Oh, it's gotten colder now. I made some black chicken soup for you to replenish your blood vitality. I'll be there at noon. Can outsiders enter the set?"

Su Shen: "..."

Her own condo was a little far from here, but it was very close to where her parents live. It would take no more than 20 minutes to get here without traffic. However, Su Shen didn't expect that her mom would suddenly bring her soup.

Just when she was about to refuse, Mama Su said solemnly, "I'm just coming to have a look!"

Su Shen: "..."

This was actually her mom's real purpose, wasn't it?

"Okay, call me when you arrive then. There are security guards on set, so you won't be able to come in." She sighed as if in compromise. Fortunately, it wasn't chaotic on set, else she absolutely wouldn't dare to let her mom come.

Hearing that, Mama Su hung up the phone with satisfaction. Su Shen then asked the makeup artist to continue.

Her mom must've seen the comments online recently. She was often away from home, and it was rare that filming this time was so close to home, so her mom must've wanted to come and see.

After getting her makeup done, she went to go over the script with the Director. This was a scene where the male and female leads were already dating. The male lead sent the female lead home, and the female lead would complain about how he has to go on a mission again. A little reluctant, she threw a tantrum for a bit.

"Su Shen, don't forget that the longshot will pan from the left side of your face to the right side. Remember to find the camera." The Director sat in front of the monitor and pointed to show her a direction.

Su Shen nodded, but she was a little embarrassed to read the script. She didn't feel it before, but now, she just felt it was too embarrassing. It would be fine if it was someone else, but of all people, the other party was Xie Yan.

"It's almost time for you to get into position." The Director said and then asked the cinematographer to sweep the camera over.

Hearing this, Su Shen took a deep breath and tried her best to just treat it as acting. Then, she walked over to the small path of greenery in the gated community and got into position.

Not long after, Xie Yan also came over with the female lead's small bag in hand, which looked particularly outlandish.

"Quick, quick, hold hands!" The Director shouted into the loudspeaker.

Su Shen just felt very embarrassed, and when her hand by her side was suddenly grasped by a big hand, she only felt even more embarrassed.

"Are you hot?" Xie Yan turned toward her and saw beads of sweat on her forehead.

"Ah?" Su Shen turned toward him and found that he was staring at her, so she softly smiled, "Just a little nervous."

Seeing that her ear was red, Xie Yan couldn't help smiling and whispered into her ear, "It's just acting."

Everyone else: "..."

To say there was nothing fishy going on between the two of them, they would not believe it even if they were beaten to

death!

Hearing this, Su Shen's expression changed slightly. That's right, it's just acting. Before, it was so natural for her and Jiang Yin to say you love me, I love you, and it's the same now. They were just work partners.

After taking a deep breath, she made an OK sign, and the Director over there shouted, "Action!"

As the camera panned over, Su Shen was led by him discontentedly. From time to time in the surroundings, there were two aunties walking their dog. They were all extras. When the camera panned in front of her, she then turned to look at the man beside her, "Can't you leave a few days later? Tomorrow's my birthday!"

Xie Yan held her soft hand as they walked until they reached downstairs. He patted her head with a smile, "Be good, I'll make it up for you next time."

"Birthdays are just one day. Once it's passed, it's passed. There's no way to make it up!" Su Shen pouted slightly and turned away from him.

When the camera turned to pan at her right side, Xie Yan looked at his watch and said, "Go back first, I'm leaving."

Seeing that he was so insensitive, Su Shen immediately stepped forward and hugged him. According to the script, she rubbed against his embrace and mumbled, "No, I'm not letting you go!"

She hugged him very gently, and the hair above her head brushed his chin. As he looked down, he could see complaints written all over her face, and she looked somewhat aggrieved. If it was Xie Yan, he would definitely not leave.

"Don't fuss, this is a mission!" He held her shoulders. When he touched her smooth and tender skin, his expression changed slightly.

Hearing this, Su Shen pouted again in grievance. Then, she stood on tiptoe and wrapped her arms around his neck. Blinking, she leaned in close, "Kiss me then!"

Her lips with a red-orange lip gloss pouted slightly. When she almost touched his chin, Xie Yan expended a lot of effort to turn away her head with his hand, "Don't play around."

Seeing this, Su Shen appeared to be angry and snorted. She snatched her bag and hurried upstairs.

"Cut!"

As the Director's words fell, Su Shen then walked out of the building. With a calm face, she let the makeup artist fiddle with her hair.

It's done for.

Zhao Tong knew that their Yan ge was done for when he saw Su Shen's calm and indifferent expression.

Under such circumstances, no girl would be so calm. It seemed that Su Shen really had no feelings for their Yan get.

The next few scenes went pretty well. However, there was going to be a kiss scene in the afternoon. Su Shen felt that she should go and ask Xie Yan to have him ask the Director to use positioning for it.

It was not until Su Shen was eating a takeaway lunch that her mom called. As soon as she received the call, she immediately ran outside.

She saw a black Bentley on the side of the road. There were two people standing in front of the car, one was her mom, who was carrying a paper bag in hand, and the other was Tan Haozhi in a black suit!

Seeing her coming, Mama Su immediately waved, "Over here, over here!"

When Su Shen ran over panting, she couldn't help but glance at Tan Haozhi, "Why are you…"

"Oh, I happened to meet your Hao Zhi gege when I was leaving. He insisted on driving me here. It seems I've troubled him once again!" As soon as Mama Su finished speaking, she saw the pair of super high heels that she was wearing, "Do you guys normally wear such high heels for filming? Aren't you afraid of spraining your ankle?"

Su Shen: "..."

In the entertainment industry, there was only higher, no highest!

"Perhaps the plot requires it." Tan Haozhi, on the side, suddenly smiled. He glanced at the set inside and said to Mama Su, "Auntie, there are usually paparazzi outside the set. How about I drive over there and wait for a bit?"

After a moment's hesitation upon hearing that, Mama Su gave the paper bag to her and said, "Remember to drink it while it's still hot. I won't go in, so as to not make your Hao Zhi gege wait too long. He still has matters to tend to!"

Hearing that she was not going to go in, Su Shen was relieved. She was indeed not suitable to be in the same frame as a man, and it was said that there were several paparazzi waiting outside too.

"Thank you for the trouble. I'll treat you to dinner next time." She smiled at Tan Haozhi.

The latter nodded slightly and then opened the door for Mama Su while turning back toward her and said, "It won't be too late to treat me to dinner when you've found a boyfriend."

After hearing that, Su Shen blushed and glared at him, "You haven't even found a girlfriend, but you're forcing me to find a boyfriend; I'm much younger than you!"

"How can you talk like that!" Mama Su raised her hand and gently swatted her head.

Su Shen immediately took a few steps back and couldn't help but mumble, "I'm not wrong."

"This girl…" Mama Su wished she could swat her again. This brat was really so stupid!

Seeing this, Su Shen immediately walked back with the chicken soup in her arms. Since the original Su Shen's crush still did not like her, there was no need for her to avoid him in the future. It's actually pretty nice to have such a brother.

When she returned to set, everyone was eating lunch, but it was takeaway boxed lunch. However, Li Xue, who knew how to enjoy life, went out to eat.

Seeing her come back with a paper bag in her arms, Xiao Zhou couldn't help laughing mischievously, "Su jie, I just heard that you went to see a man. Why are you smiling so happily?"

Su Shen: "..."

She almost forgot that Uncle Liu by the entrance was a gossiper.

"He's a neighbor, we've known each other for a long time." As she spoke, she took out the box and said to Xiao Zhou, "Would you like to drink some? It's good for replenishing your blood vitality."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Xiao Zhou immediately went to get her bowl.

After eating lunch, Su Shen read the script again. Thinking of the kiss scene in the afternoon, she took her script and went to find Xie Yan. He would definitely not want to film it.

As soon as she reached the door of his dressing room, the door was opened from inside. She saw Zhao Tong walking out carrying two bags of fruit. When he saw her, he immediately opened a bag, "Do you want some fruit? A producer sent it."

Su Shen didn't say anything. She knew that this kind of treatment would not fall on her head.

"No thanks, is Xie Yan inside?" She asked.

As her words fell, Zhao Tong immediately pointed inside, "Yes, yes, yes!"

Seeing this, Su Shen went in with her script in hand. As soon as she entered the door, she saw that Xie Yan was having a boxed lunch, which was full of vegetables and no meat or fish were in sight.

"Why… don't you go out to eat?" She had no appetite just looking at it.

Xie Yan looked up at her, his expression unchanged, "What's the matter?"

His tone was ice-cold. Su Shen was taken aback, but she still went forward and raised the script in her hand, "Well, there's a kiss scene in the afternoon… Can you tell the Director to use positioning?"

As her words fell, the latter looked up and said calmly, "No."
