This time, Shi Hanchu had learned his lesson. He grabbed Su Manman’s fair wrist, bit the strawberry, and kissed her beautiful fingertips.
Su Manman’s face and ears reddened. She hurriedly got down from the counter and shyly ran out of the kitchen.
As Shi Hanchu watched Su Manman’s back view, the smile in his eyes intensified.
“Cut!”
Director Chen Wenhua sat in front of the monitor, his expression full of satisfaction……
“Not bad! Not bad!” Director Chen Wenhua had always been stingy with his praise for the actors. But this time, he had used two good ones at one go. Clearly, he was very satisfied.
Su Manman heard the sound of the slate and walked out of the room. She combed her hair with her fingers and casually tied up her hair with a black rubber band. She then walked over and squatted down beside Director Chen Wenhua, watching the replay with the director.
Tsk tsk tsk……
Seeing the sweet scenes between her and Shi Hanchu makes her feel all sugary. It was as though pink bubbles were floating between her and Shi Hanchu across the screen.
Su Manman couldn’t help but think of their shipper fans. If they saw this, wouldn’t they go crazy?
The next scene was of Su Manman and Shi Hanchu spending time together watching a movie and reading a book in their apartments while it was snowing outside.
After they prepared the set, Su Manman changed into her winter pajamas.
Shi Hanchu was wearing a black V-neck sweater and black pajamas pants as he sat on the sofa, reading a book. Su Manman was lying on Shi Hanchu’s lap, holding a tablet computer, watching a movie. She was bawling her eyes out.
Shi Hanchu held the book with one hand while placing the other hand on Su Manman’s arm. His actions looked naturally…… intimate.
Su Manman held a tissue in her hand and looked at the tablet screen. Her eyes and nose were red as she sobbed.
Shi Hanchu casually pulled out a piece of tissue paper and passed it to Su Manman. Su Manman took it, and after blowing her nose, she threw the crumpled tissue paper to the floor.
Shi Hanchu moved the book in front of his face away, his gaze sweeping over Su Manman and the crumpled tissue paper. “Tsk……”
Hearing Shi Hanchu’s “tsk” sound, Su Manman sat up, her hair messy, and a few strands of hair stuck to her face, not forgetting to glare at Shi Hanchu.
“Why are you tsking!”
“Which silly movie can make you cry like this? Don’t you love cleanliness? Why are you throwing tissue paper with your snot in them on the ground!?” Shi Hanchu spoke calmly.
Su Manman stared at Shi Hanchu, and tears welled up even more in her eyes. After persisting for a long time, she laid on the sofa and sobbed. “You don’t love me anymore…… you despise me!”
Shi Hanchu panicked and hurriedly put down his book to coax Su Manman……
Su Manman took the opportunity to propose a lot of conditions that humiliated Shi Hanchu. Shi Hanchu agreed to all of them, then coaxed Su Manman.
The interaction between Su Manman and Shi Hanchu seemed to be relatable for every couple, and it was very moving.
Their acting skills were indescribable……
Later, when Su Manman saw a childbearing on TV, she asked Shi Hanchu the fictitious question of whether he wanted to save the child or the mother in the event of a complication—a question that would incur the wrath of her despite the answer.
Shi Hanchu had a helpless look on his face as he told Su Manman that such scenes would only appear on TV, not in the real world. This was because modern doctors would do their best regardless if it was the mother or child.
The doctor would never come out of the surgical room to ask the family if they wanted to save the mother or child!
After all, this was a problem in ancient times because there was no such thing as a C-section…… Because of the lack of medical care and the poor hygiene conditions, the child would definitely be saved, but the adult would be lost.
But in the modern world, C-sections were not uncommon!
Su Manman looked at Shi Hanchu with teary eyes and complained, “I just want you to coax me, yet you’re talking reason with me about medical conditions. You really don’t love me anymore! Boohoo……”
Su Manman laid on the sofa again, sobbing like a little crying bag.
Shi Hanchu was speechless.
Such a situation struck the hearts of the female staff present, and it also struck the hearts of the male staff present.
Who hadn’t met such an unromantic boyfriend?
Faced with such a confused girlfriend, the boyfriend didn’t have a look of despair on his face. Instead, he had to hurry and coax her. After coaxing her, he still looked dazed. What exactly did he do to make his girlfriend cry……
Perhaps it was because Su Manman and Shi Hanchu’s acting skills were too good that people could empathize with them.
Du Lingyang watched from the side. His heart was beating very quickly……
He hadn’t expected a newcomer like Su Manman to have such excellent acting skills. She wouldn’t lose even if she was being compared to Jiang Mingzhu!
Du Lingyang clenched his fists slightly.
How could there be such a lucky person in this world?
On the contrary, it was so difficult for him to make a name for himself. Even after he became famous, he still had to be so nervous and fearful.
Be it Jiang Mingzhu, Shi Hanchu…… or now, Su Manman!
It was so easy for them to succeed, but what about him?
It was one thing for him to be less famous than the dead Jiang Mingzhu!
Or that he couldn’t surpass Shi Hanchu……
But Su Manman…… based on the current rate of development, it was only a matter of time before she surpassed his popularity too.
Even though Shi Hanchu didn’t like to show his face in front of the public and usually only attended large-scale events or movie premieres, it was still easy for him to gain and maintain fans.
On the other hand, he toiled all day just to attract eyeballs, only to fail miserably.
“Are you really here to see me?” Ren Shanze asked Du Lingyang.
Actually, Ren Shanze and Du Lingyang weren’t even close……
They had only worked together in a movie once before, and Ren Shanze had given Du Lingyang some pointers. After all, as a singer, his acting skills were inferior compared to professional actors.
So, Ren Shanze was quite surprised to receive a call from Du Lingyang out of the blue, saying that he wanted to visit him.
He hadn’t expected that Du Lingyang would come and bring snacks and coffee to everyone in the production crew. Yet, he kept staring at Su Manman and Shi Hanchu.
Ren Shanze had one hand in his pocket and another cup of coffee in his hand. He was neither cold nor warm towards Du Lingyang.
Du Lingyang smiled at Ren Shanze. “Mm, I’m just here to see you today. I also have some questions to ask Manman!”
Ren Shanze laughed in his heart when he saw through him.
Perhaps…… it was because he couldn’t enter by claiming to visit Su Manman, so he might as well say that he came to look for him instead.
Ren Shanze merely nodded and said that he had to focus on his script now. There were still some things in the script that he needed to study.
Du Lingyang nodded happily. “Okay, Senior, please go ahead……”
Ren Shanze glanced in Su Manman’s direction, then turned back to look at Du Lingyang…… There was a hint of disdain in his eyes.
He believed that Su Manman wouldn’t place a person like Du Lingyang in her eyes. After all…… Su Manman was an arrogant and straightforward lady.
After they were done filming the scenes that were Shi Hanchu and Su Manman’s flashback, Dong Dong quickly sent ice cubes to Su Manman.
