Chinese Entertainment 2014: Young Actresses Are Becoming Dazzling

Chapter 29 Zhang Ruonan

Not far away, in front of a small stall, sat a girl who looked about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a round face and a very youthful appearance.

Zhang Ruonan?

I can't believe I ran into her here.

At that time, she seemed to be a college student, enthusiastically promoting the handmade woven pendants she made herself.

With her hair tied in a high ponytail, her smile gives you the feeling of taking a deep breath of fresh oxygen from the Hulunbuir Grassland.

Jing Tian seemed to have noticed her too, her eyes lit up, and she pulled Su Yu to the stall.

Girls are completely powerless against these sparkly, fluffy little handicrafts: "Wow, this little bunny is so delicately woven!"

"Hey handsome, how about buying one for your girlfriend? It's handmade, it'll have a lot of meaning."

Upon seeing a guest, Zhang Ruonan immediately flashed a healing smile. The charm of her innocent, first-love face was so captivating that Su Yu was momentarily lost in thought.

"Su Yu~"

Jing Tian clung to Su Yu's arm like a kitten, swaying back and forth, "Buy one, please~"

"Isn't this little bunny cute?"

Jing Tian picked up the small rabbit pendant and held it up in front of her face.

"So cute~" Su Yu couldn't help but pinch Jing Tian's soft, chubby little face.

"This little cat head is so cute!"

The two spent a long time choosing, but Zhang Ruonan showed no impatience whatsoever. This was entirely because Jing Tian looked around and found that she wanted them all. Every time she picked one up, she would praise Zhang Ruonan for being skillful and clever, which completely charmed the young girl.

"Beautiful lady~ How about I give you a few? This little sun hair clip would be perfect for you!"

Zhang Ruonan picked up the hair clip and gently clipped it into Jing Tian's hair, her eyes sparkling.

"What a nice view!"

"Oh, never mind, you spent time making this, so of course I have to pay you!"

"Then add me on WeChat. I'll share any new and better creations I make with you, and if you like them, I'll save them for you!"

"Okay, okay! Thank you so much, little sister. You're not only beautiful, but also skillful and a super nice person. I bet lots of guys are after you, right?"

Jing Tian chuckled and teased Zhang Ruonan.

"Hehe, it's not that much!"

Zhang Ruonan smiled, gracefully took out her phone, and showed the QR code:

Add me on WeChat~ Pretty lady~

After Jing Tian took out her phone to scan the QR code, Zhang Ruonan looked at Su Yu again:

"Handsome guy~ You should add me too~ I'll also send you some handmade crafts, you can give any you like to the pretty lady as a little surprise~"

Su Yu's eyes widened. This little girl is really clever, making money from both sides!

Su Yu took out his phone and smoothly scanned the code, added the contact, and made a note in one go.

"Okay, thank you in advance for being so thoughtful."

Su Yu raised his phone and glanced at Zhang Ruonan with a smile.

In the end, Su Yu left Zhang Ruonan's stall with a bunch of small trinkets and dolls in his hand, almost buying them all from her.

Boss Zhang was all smiles, calling them "brother" and "sister" repeatedly. He even offered to take Jing Tian and Su Yu sightseeing in Hangzhou, but Jing Tian politely declined. She really wanted to have some alone time with Su Yu, so she said, "Next time, next time, for sure!"

After the two strolled around for a while, Su Yu realized that Jing Tian was perfect for shooting the "Next Early Shift" series in the era of short videos, mainly because this silly girl wanted everything she saw and wanted to eat everything she saw!

Su Yu: Wasn't it said that Da Tian Tian was a Pixiu? Why do I feel like the one next to me is a Taotie?

……

Happy times always fly by; in the blink of an eye, the three-day deadline was up.

On the morning of the last day, West Lake outside the window was shrouded in a thin mist, as tranquil as a traditional Chinese ink painting.

The atmosphere in the hotel room was also filled with a strong sense of sorrow and parting.

Su Yu got up and packed his luggage. Jing Tian was wearing a silk nightgown, barefoot, sitting on the edge of the bed, her hands supporting her chin, looking at his back with a resentful expression.

"Su Yu..."

"What's wrong?" Su Yu turned around.

Jing Tian stepped forward and hugged him tightly from behind, pressing her cheek against his back, her voice muffled:

"I don't want you to leave... After you go back, you'll have to go to auditions again, and I'll be joining a new production team. It will be so hard to see each other then."

She was silent for a moment, her tone tinged with heartache and guilt:

"Su Yu, I'm sorry... Right now, I can't give you a proper status. In public, I can't hold your hand, and I can't even tell others who you are to me..."

The word "title" can sometimes be as heavy as a thousand pounds, and sometimes as light as a feather, especially for people in this circle.

Su Yu put down the clothes in his hand, turned around, gently cupped Jing Tian's delicate face, and looked at her with tenderness and determination:

"Your title is something you earn yourself, not something given to you by others. When I win Best Actor and stand on the highest stage, I'll ask you in front of the whole world if you'd like to be my master's wife, okay?"

Jing Tian blushed and buried her head in Su Yu's arms.

She didn't know if that day would ever come, and if it did, would she agree? She didn't know either.

Her current focus is on filming, and it probably will be in the future. How much time Su Yu will have left, and whether he can even wait until then, remains to be seen.

Thinking about it this way, Jing Tian felt even more guilty.

"Well... before that, let me give you some compensation first."

Jing Tian sniffed, her eyes gradually becoming hazy and intense. She stood on tiptoe and took the initiative to seal Su Yu's lips with hers.

Jing Tian acted with unprecedented initiative and wildness, as if she wanted to use up all the days she wouldn't be able to see each other in advance in this compensation. Rather than compensation, it was more like a release, an impulse to meld each other into one another.

After a storm~

"Hey! Why did you swallow it?!"

"Hmm... I said I'd make it up to you."

Jing Tian smacked her lips, her brows furrowing slightly. Looking at Su Yu's somewhat fanatical gaze, she lowered her head again.

……

In the end, the farewell still came.

Outside the terminal building at Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport.

Tangyuan was already waiting by the roadside in her car. Through the windshield, she watched the reluctant couple with a blank expression, her watch ticking in her hand.

Jing Tian wore a mask and sunglasses, covering herself up completely, but her red and swollen eyes still betrayed her emotions.

"Let's go, or Xiao Zhu will come after us."

Su Yu adjusted Jing Tian's hat, then patted her head with a smile.

"Remember, no crying in secret, or you'll have to do double the extra practice next time we meet."

"I know, you bad guy..." Jing Tian choked up, gave Su Yu a final hug, and then turned and got into her van.

Su Yu stood by the roadside, watching the black minivan slowly drive away and disappear into the traffic, and sighed softly.

"Hey, stop looking, they've all gone far away."

Tangyuan rolled down the car window, somewhat speechless.
