CHAPTER 391: CHAPTER 219 SOURNESS

Seeing Shu Wan keeping silent, Li Si thought she had other requirements, "Do you need additional sets? There’s a construction team available right here, they can start work anytime if you need."

"Just communicate that with the director."

Shu Wan waved her hand, "I don’t handle these things."

"Okay."

Before long, Liu Qing came running over excitedly to find Shu Wan, "Shu Wan, the person in charge of the Film and Television City actually asked me what sets we need, saying they can help us build anytime—it’s amazing, aren’t you acquainted with him?"

"Yes, I know him," Shu Wan nodded, "You can tell him whatever you need."

"Great!"

Being kicked out was usually distressing, but as the old saying goes, ’a blessing in disguise’, Liu Qing only felt excitement now, with no trace of discomfort left.

With the site issue resolved, the filming progress of the crew proceeded as usual.

Considering Shu Wan’s current status as a student, Liu Qing tried to concentrate her scenes in half a day.

After finishing her scenes in the morning, Shu Wan didn’t need to come in the afternoon.

"I’m so hungry, finally done, it’s so remote here, where should we go to eat?"

Previously at that Film and Television City, there was a food street right outside, where people could choose boxed meals or dine out after filming.

But this Film and Television City was really too remote, with no commercial areas around.

Just as everyone was fretting, Li Si appeared, "The Film and Television City has a dedicated canteen that provides catering, with all kinds of dishes available, everyone can follow me."

"Is there Western food available?"

"Yes."

"Sichuan cuisine?"

"Also available."

"What about cake?"

"Rest assured, everything’s available."

Li Si introduced the canteen with a smile, eliciting continuous exclamations from everyone.

When everyone followed Li Si to the canteen and saw the three-story buffet that seemed to extend endlessly, the feeling wasn’t just shock anymore.

"My goodness, even a seven-star hotel buffet isn’t this grand, right?"

"How much does this cost? Director, has our crew gotten some major investors?"

Liu Qing was also confused at this point, "Huh? I haven’t heard anything."

"The canteen service is provided for free."

Hearing everyone’s discussion, Li Si came over to explain.

"It’s free?"

Liu Qing wasn’t naive, knowing there’s no free lunch in this world, offering such good conditions without a charge definitely meant owing a favor, "Thank you so much, we’re all basking in Shu Wan’s light."

"You go eat, I need to take care of other matters now."

"Okay."

Once Li Si left, everyone excitedly ran to the windows to get food, finding everything tempting and delicious.

During the filming, people often felt "It’s truly great having Shu Wan," and now that feeling was amplified even more.

Outside the Film and Television City, Shu Wan got into the car where Fu Si Yu was already sitting.

Hearing the noise, Fu Si Yu looked up at Shu Wan, noticed the droplets on her head and put his documents aside, "Is it raining outside?"

"Sleet."

"Have some water."

Fu Si Yu handed Shu Wan a cup of hot tea; she accepted it and was just about to say something when Fu Si Yu took a towel and began wiping the droplets off her face.

As the tea vapor rose, mingling between them, it seemed to increase the distance that was actually very close but blurred the lines, adding a hint of intimacy.

The warm towel moved across her forehead, Shu Wan lowered her head to sip her tea, hiding the flicker in her eyes.

"Will it be too late to go back for dinner?" As Fu Si Yu stepped back, Shu Wan quietly sighed in relief.

"Let’s eat nearby, there’s a place for a noon break."

Fu Si Yu spoke, and the driver turned the car towards the side, driving for a good distance before turning right into the back entrance of the Film and Television City.

This location was far from the earlier filming site, an independent villa courtyard.

Decorated in the style of Suzhou gardens, it was covered with a light layer of snow, presenting a scene like a finely detailed painting.

A fire had been burning in the fireplace for a long time, warming the living room like spring; the adjoining dining room was already prepared with meals, and after changing their clothes, they could

"Filming is hard work, if the living conditions are better, the efficiency of filming can increase,"

Fu Siyu said as he handed Shu Wan a bowl and chopsticks.

"This house, it’s been built for a while, hasn’t it?"

"Three months."

"Okay."

Shu Wan just started to eat, but noticed Fu Siyu was staring at her.

Shu Wan looked at Fu Siyu with a puzzled expression, "What’s wrong?"

"Won’t you ask why I only brought you here now?" Fu Siyu’s eyes were deep and mysterious, like a vortex, ready to completely draw Shu Wan in.

Reason told Shu Wan that she should not continue her inquiry, but she nevertheless asked, "Why?"

"Because the timing was right."

"....."

Even without asking, Shu Wan knew that the timing Fu Siyu mentioned pertained to her.

Under the intense gaze of Fu Siyu’s deep eyes, Shu Wan did not dare to ponder further; she lowered her head and put a piece of food into her mouth.

However, after chewing once, Shu Wan furrowed her brows because the texture felt like the petals that were meant for decoration in the bowl.

Her first instinct was to spit out the petals, but doing so would let Fu Siyu know that she was flustered.

So, Shu Wan regained her composure as if nothing had happened and swallowed the petals directly.

"Is it bitter?"

Fu Siyu suddenly spoke up, and Shu Wan replied subconsciously, "A little."

Realizing what she had said, Shu Wan’s expression grew annoyed, and she pursed her lips slightly.

"Ha"

Fu Siyu’s light laughter reached her ears, causing her ears to redden once again.

"Rinse your mouth," Fu Siyu passed her a cup of warm water.

"I won’t."

Shu Wan flatly refused, and her haste in doing so carried a hint of embarrassment turning into anger.

Fu Siyu gave Shu Wan a meaningful glance, seeing her lips tightly pursed and her face carrying a visible irritation.

Probably because such an expression was rare on Shu Wan, Fu Siyu found it unexpectedly cute.

Fu Siyu’s lips curled up, a hint of amusement in his eyes, and he refrained from speaking further to avoid truly angering Shu Wan.

Shu Wan had no filming in the afternoon, so with ample time, she took a nap and then decided to visit the university.

Coincidentally, Fu Siyu also had an engagement at the university today.

"I promise, I didn’t arrange this on purpose."

Facing Shu Wan’s skeptical gaze, Fu Siyu explained helplessly.

"I heard there was a lecture this afternoon; are you the guest speaker?"

"Yes," Fu Siyu nodded, "It truly is a coincidence, I didn’t know you were visiting the university today."

"Then let’s go."

Frankly, being with Fu Siyu felt quite pleasant, so any awkwardness was momentary and, in fact, Shu Wan was quite happy.

So, after attending the afternoon class and finding she still had time, Shu Wan decided to attend Fu Siyu’s lecture.

As it turned out, Shu Wan’s timing was quite fortuitous.

Because just as she entered the classroom through the back door, she heard someone loudly confessing their feelings to Fu Siyu.

"Senior, I applied to Qing University because of you, I really, really admire you, you are my idol!"

With Fu Siyu being a legendary figure, to say his fans were everywhere would not be an exaggeration. Thus, faced with the fervent confession, Fu Siyu calmly nodded, "Qing University is a good school, I believe you can learn a lot here."

"Senior, I really like you, you are the best man in my heart, and you are my role model."

The fan’s tone was so overt that even the most naïve could see that this young lady’s admiration and liking for Fu Siyu included other sentiments.

Fu Siyu also realized this and was about to say something when his gaze swept over and landed on Shu Wan, who was standing at the back door.

His eyes unconsciously carried a hint of a smile.

Today, he wore a black suit, silently sophisticated, sitting there like an insurmountable legendary mountain.

However, at this moment, as if a spring breeze had brushed by, the mountain seemed to softly hum, leaving the audience in awe.

"I wish you a wonderful time at Qing University."

Fu Siyu withdrew his gaze, politely looking at the female student below, his words courteous, but the tone coldly clear.

The university also knew that Fu Siyu was not keen on people prying into his private life and quickly signaled the confessing female student to sit down.

Shu Wan, arriving late, had missed the main part of the lecture, and the students posed a few unimportant questions afterward. After answering them, the lecture approached its end.

Fu Siyu had only recently returned to the country, and many wanted to interview him.

Knowing he was scheduled to give a lecture at Qing University today, prominent business media reporters were stationed outside the classroom, ready to encircle him as soon as he stepped out, determined not to let him leave without an interview.

Guessing that Fu Siyu might be caught up for a while, Shu Wan left on her own.

However, Fu Siyu’s presence at Qing University caused such a stir that wherever Shu Wan went, she could hear discussions about Fu Siyu.

"That female reporter earlier was too forward, huh? Did she come to interview or to hunt for a wealthy husband? Wearing a split cheongsam in such cold weather, my goodness, I feel cold just looking at her."

"Before seeing Fu Siyu, I also thought they were exaggerating, but after seeing him, I only want to say, if I could get a man like that, I’d be willing to pay any price."

"Ah, the man is already married, let’s accumulate some virtue for ourselves, shall we? Let’s not be like them, it’s demeaning, rushing to be the other woman."

As Shu Wan walked through the snow, she listened to the students chatting.

It wasn’t until the students mentioned that Fu Siyu had left with that very beautiful and enthusiastic female reporter that Shu Wan finally stopped and stood at the roadside.

She believed that Fu Siyu wasn’t that type of person; he probably went with the female reporter for professional reasons.

However, three seconds later, Shu Wan turned around and retraced her steps.
