Chapter 52 part 2

Yun Feiwu handed over a cup and a pre-squeezed toothbrush, slightly puzzled, and said, “Hmm?”

She added, “Ruan Ruan, do you want me to help you brush?”

Xia Shutong quickly took the toothbrush and anxiously said, “N-No need!”

She already felt embarrassed when Yun Feiwu carried her over earlier, all dazed and confused. If she were to help her brush her teeth, Xia Shutong was convinced that even thinking about it would make her cry with embarrassment.

However, as she thought about it again, the reason she was so disoriented earlier was all because of Yun Feiwu, who had been messing around with her last night, no, this morning.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t feel so exhausted.

Yun Feiwu was able to restrain herself when they were outside, but once they got home, her true nature completely surfaced. Xia Shutong only now belatedly realized that her legs were sore, her lower back was in pain, and she had no strength in her entire body.

So, what’s wrong with letting Yun Feiwu take care of her a little?

What’s there to be ashamed of?

Yun Feiwu, s-she was supposed to!

But on second thought, why is the big dog so energetic? Why didn’t Yun Feiwu seem so tired the next day when Xia Shutong was on top?

Xia Shutong glanced at the long-abandoned gym in her house and sighed quietly in her heart. She decided to make time for exercise from tomorrow.

After finishing the meal, Yun Feiwu carried Xia Shutong again and asked, “Continue sleeping?”

However, Xia Shutong shook her head and said, “No more sleeping. Carry me to change clothes.”

Xia Shutong had originally taken the day off for herself today, but now that she finished eating and was feeling a bit more awake, she decided to go to the company.

“Shall I drive you?” Yun Feiwu thought for a moment and asked.

Today, Qiao Lingling was on a day off and not at Xia Shutong’s house.

“No need, I’ll have the driver come over,” Xia Shutong replied, changing her clothes. She rubbed Yun Feiwu’s head with a touch of annoyance. “Maomao, you’ve also worked hard. Rest well at home.”

Yun Feiwu’s eyes twinkled mischievously. “Not at all.”

…

Before they even left the house, Yun Feiwu received another phone call.

“Little Xia, Sister Tao said she received a fantastic script. The director personally came and asked me to come to the company as soon as possible.” Hanging up, Yun Feiwu glanced at Xia Shutong and smiled. “So, Little Xia, let me give you a ride.”

Xia Shutong glanced at her phone and asked, “Is it Director Hua’s film?”

“Yes.” Yun Feiwu nodded, approaching Xia Shutong and casually lifting her up. “How did you know, Ruan Ruan?”

“I guessed.”

Since they were still at home and the elevator only served one household per floor, there was no need to worry about being seen by others. Xia Shutong skillfully wrapped her arms around Yun Feiwu’s neck and explained, “I saw a message earlier saying that Hu Zinan’s new film is looking for investments. The executive producer is currently in our company. I’ll go check it out later. So, I guessed that the script you received was from Director Hua.”

Hua Zinan, also known as Director Hua, was a leading figure among the sixth generation of directors in the Chinese film industry. Her films had distinct styles, unique cinematography, and a particularly simple and down-to-earth visual aesthetic. Each one was an emotionally driven art film that garnered both critical acclaim and commercial success.

In contrast to Director Liang from “Flying Above,” whose style was too niche, Yun Feiwu’s controversial win for Best Actress led to much debate. However, Director Hua’s films were universally praised and well-received classics.

When Yun Feiwu was a child, the reason she was able to quickly integrate into the film industry was because, after finishing the drama “Dark,” she coincidentally joined the crew of Director Hua and played a supporting role as a little girl. With Hua’s recommendation, Yun Feiwu later successfully received several film offers. However, after Yun Feiwu announced her retirement from the entertainment industry at the age of fifteen, she never contacted Director Hua again. In the following years, they would exchange greetings on holidays, but they never collaborated again.

So it was quite unexpected for Hua Zinan to suddenly come knocking on her door.

Moreover, logically speaking, Hua Zinan’s films never lacked funding, so they didn’t need to directly approach Wutong without having worked together before. Furthermore, the director and the executive producer both came, yet they split up to discuss investments and meet with actors separately, it’s quite peculiar.

They exchanged a glance, both showing a hint of confusion before quickly dissipating it.

If Director Hua herself came personally, it couldn’t be a bad thing.

Upon arriving at the company, Yun Feiwu went straight to Tao Wei’s office, while Xia Shutong headed to the conference room.

…

“Director Hua, long time no see.” After entering the office, Yun Feiwu looked at Hua Zinan and gave a slight bow.

Hua Zinan, in her fifties with a few silver strands interlaced in her short hair, still exuded charm. Her eyes behind the golden-rimmed glasses shone with a gentle light. “Oh, Maomao, long time no see.”

Unexpectedly, even after all these years, Hua Zinan still remembered her childhood nickname. Yun Feiwu was momentarily surprised but obediently sat beside her. “How have you been these past years, Director Hua?”

“What else but making movies? Every day is the same. Doing what I love, of course, makes me happy.”

After a few pleasantries, Hua Zinan smiled and got to the point. “Maomao, I have a script here. Would you like to take a look? I’ve been searching among actors your age for a long time, and in the end, I thought you were the most suitable, so I came to find you.”

Everyone could support me in Kofi, for every coffee an extra chapter would be released. Please don’t forget to mention the name of the novel you want to support, so that I won’t confuse it with the other novel I’m currently translating.
