Chinese entertainment: What's wrong with actresses wanting to improve?

Chapter 538 Jing Tian's Gift

After the third take was filmed, Li Guoli finally nodded.

"This one's done. Ten-minute break."

Jing Tian stepped down from in front of the green screen and walked straight toward the monitors instead of going to the rest area.

She lifted her skirt and stepped lightly and quickly onto the stone path.

"Brother Yibai!"

She sat down on the chair next to Fu Yibai and tossed her skirt aside.

"You really came!"

"How can I go back on my promise?"

"Hehe, congratulations Yi Bai on the box office success."

"Um."

Are you leaving today?

"It depends. What's wrong?"

Jing Tian leaned forward and lowered her voice.

"Why don't you stay at the film crew's hotel tonight? I have a gift for you."

"What gift?"

"secret."

Jing Tian put her index finger in front of her lips, her eyes curving into two crescent moons.

"Just don't leave tonight."

After saying that, she stood up from the chair, lifted her skirt, and ran towards the dressing room.

Halfway through the run, she looked back and gave him a "don't go" gesture, then continued running.

Fu Yibai watched her figure disappear through the door of the dressing room.

A few minutes later, Liu Yifei came out of the dressing room.

She had already changed into Lu Xueqi's costume, a moon-white long dress with a sky-blue belt around her waist, and her long hair draped over her shoulders.

Her makeup was lighter than usual, and her eyes and brows had a touch of aloofness.

She walked over to the monitor and sat down next to Fu Yibai.

"What did Tian Tian just say to you? She was so happy she almost jumped for joy."

"Let me stay tonight."

They said they had a gift for me.

Liu Yifei glanced at him sideways, her gaze meaningful.

"I see~"

I've gone to film a movie.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the driver called.

"Mr. Fu, the items have been purchased."

The watermelon was cut and stored in a food storage container, and the drinks were all ice-cold.

"Alright, I'll send someone down."

Fu Yibai hung up the phone and waved to Xiao Zhou, the stage manager. Xiao Zhou quickly walked over.

"Director Fu, what can I do for you?"

"There's a car down the mountain with some cold drinks and fruit on it. Have a few people go down and carry them up to distribute to everyone in the crew."

"Okay! Thank you, Director Fu!"

Xiao Zhou turned around and shouted in the direction of the props team.

Five or six stagehands followed him down the mountain on the cable car.

In less than half an hour, several boxes of chilled drinks and more than a dozen boxes of sliced ​​chilled watermelon were moved to the filming location.

"Director Fu is treating everyone! Chilled watermelon and cold drinks! Come and get some!"

Xiao Zhou stood beside the long table and shouted in all directions.

The crew members gradually gathered around, expressing their gratitude repeatedly.

At six o'clock in the evening, the sky gradually darkened.

The light in the valley changed from golden to orange-red, then gradually receded from the horizon, leaving only the silhouettes of the mountains.

After the film crew wrapped up, Ye Jin, along with Jing Tian and Liu Yifei, took a car back to the hotel where the film crew was located.

"Brother Yibai, here you go, this is your room key."

Jing Tian handed a room key to Fu Yibai.

Fu Yibai's room was on the same floor as Jing Tian's room.

The three parted ways in the corridor and returned to their respective rooms.

At 7 p.m., Fu Yibai picked up the phone and sent WeChat messages to the two women, inviting them out for dinner.

Liu Yifei replied to Fu Yibai that she was on a diet and wouldn't eat dinner.

Jing Tian then invited him to her room, where she had already prepared dinner.

Fu Yibai changed into casual clothes, pushed open the door, walked to Jing Tian's room, and knocked three times.

The door opened from the inside.

Jing Tian stood at the door. The room was not lit by the main lights; only two candlesticks on the dining table provided a small patch of warm, golden light.

She wore a misty blue halter dress, the hem of which just went past her knees, revealing a section of her fair calves.

Her hair was loose over her shoulders, with the ends slightly curled.

Fu Yibai's gaze lingered on her for two seconds.

"Come in."

Jing Tian stepped aside to clear the doorway, her voice tinged with nervousness.

Fu Yibai walked into the room.

A white tablecloth was laid on the table, and two white porcelain plates held steaks and side dishes. The red wine in the stemmed glass was only a third full, and two white roses were placed in a glass vase next to the candlestick.

"You prepared this?"

Fu Yibai stood by the dining table.

"Um."

Jing Tian closed the door, walked to the opposite side of him, put her hands behind her back, and unconsciously twisted her fingertips together.

Fu Yibai pulled out a chair and sat down, and Jing Tian sat down opposite him.

She picked up her wine glass, took a sip of red wine, and then put the glass back on the table.

There was silence in the room for about ten seconds.

Jing Tian was cutting her steak with a conflicted expression when she suddenly looked up and stared straight at Fu Yibai.

"Brother Yibai, I have something to tell you."

Fu Yibai raised his head and looked at her.

Jing Tian took a breath, her hands under the table gripping the hem of her skirt tightly.

"I like you.

I've liked it ever since they filmed "Your Name".

Back then, I was a newcomer and knew nothing.

You explained the scene to me line by line, and guided me through each shot.

I knew from that moment that I liked you.

She took another sip of red wine to bolster her courage before continuing.

"I haven't dared to say it all these years."

I told myself that you would take the initiative, and that you weren't indifferent to me.

I waited for so long, year after year.

You're always so kind to me whenever we meet, but you just never say those words out loud.

Now, I can't wait any longer.

Since you have concerns, I'll take the initiative.

Yi Bai Ge! I like you!
