I'm afraid I'm not interested in love

Chapter 617 The Meaning of Travel (12)

In fact, I am already extremely tired, Su Chengyi paused and thought silently.

Chen Jinzhi's thinness became clearer after she closed her deceptive eyes.

Su Chengyi gently put down the food box in his hand and half-knelt down at the end of the bed.

In the dim light, her eyes were still blue, her long eyelashes hung down like curtains, and her sleeping face was very peaceful.

Thinking about the last time when she accidentally fell asleep while on the phone, Su Chengyi couldn't help but doubt the truthfulness of what she had said before about sleeping for four or five hours.

But there is nothing we can do.

The scene has been filmed now, and it's too late to teach or blame, so the only emotion left is heartache.

Su Chengyi sighed softly and stood up.

Although he fell asleep due to exhaustion, he knew Chen Jinzhi's sleeping quality well and he would definitely be woken up by any loud noise.

Su Chengyi thought about it and gave up the idea of ​​carrying her to the head of the bed. He just rolled up the quilt to cover her and carefully tucked in the edges and corners.

Then he turned off the lights in the living room and turned on the table lamp next to the bedside table. The dim light made people feel drowsy.

Su Chengyi was wondering whether he should just get some sleep when he saw a medicine box hidden under a tissue bag.

I thought it was the usual sleeping pills, but it wasn't.

Tramadol is generally used for various moderate to severe acute and chronic pains, such as cancer pain, fractures, etc.

The medicine box had been opened. Su Chengyi took a look and saw only the last two pills left.

Chen Jinzhi has never taken her health seriously, and has a strong ability to endure pain, so when even she can't bear it and has to take painkillers, it almost means that it is beyond the endurance of ordinary people.

Su Chengyi put the medicine box back on the bedside table, pressed it with a tissue again, and turned to look at the person who was still sleeping soundly at the end of the bed.

Where exactly does it hurt?

Thinking of this, Su Chengyi simply sat next to her and tentatively rolled up the sleeves of her sweater.

It's as exaggerated as a wounded soldier on the battlefield.

There are plasters on the joints and other parts are densely wrapped with bandages, which should help relieve pain.

The blue veins on the slender wrist are very clear, making the skin look as pale as snow.

Su Chengyi lowered his eyes, almost unable to bear to look any longer.

After seeing this, I understand why she wears such a loose sweater, it's just to cover these up.

It's hard to imagine someone insisting on such high-intensity filming with such injuries.

Su Cheng realized that when the school organized a physical test before, many students in the class only ran 800 or 1,000 meters, and the next day they complained about leg pain and couldn't get out of bed.

When a novice first starts working out, even going to the toilet normally after leg training is harder than climbing a mountain.

These are actually understandable, because humans themselves find it difficult to endure such muscle pain. It will make people feel uncomfortable all over when they wake up, and their mood will be extremely bad, and they will have no motivation to do anything.

But Chen Jinzhi seemed to have amazing perseverance, and she just endured it silently.

I guess I just spent a lot of nights that were so uncomfortable that I couldn't sleep at all.

In fact, Su Chengyi had roughly guessed that this would be the situation before coming here, but now that he actually saw it, he still felt a blockage in his heart, and he even choked up a little when he thought about it carefully.

When she was tired and sleepy but in so much pain that she couldn't fall asleep, she looked at the ceiling alone, wondering what was she thinking?

Just when Su Chengyi was falling into a state of self-blame and unable to extricate himself, the doorbell suddenly rang again.

"Ding dong~"

Su Chengyi jumped up almost as if it was a conditioned reflex and rushed to the door. Before he could see who the other person was, he had already raised his finger to make a "silence" gesture.

"Shh, keep your voice down."

The other party was obviously startled by the speed at which he opened the door, and nodded quickly to show that he understood.

Su Chengyi still did not greet the other party at the first time, but turned back to see if Chen Jinzhi was awake.

Fortunately, she was very tired and was not woken by the sudden doorbell.

Su Chengyi then turned around, looked at the uninvited visitor at the door, and greeted him in a light tone.

"Director Caroline."

"The great producer Mr. Zhi Jinchen."

Caroline gracefully took off her hat, revealing her messy hair. Her originally noble platinum hair had become a mess, and due to long-term lack of care, it looked like plastic and had no texture.

"She's asleep. What can I do for you?"

Su Chengyi replied in a deliberately low voice.

"Ah~ Don't worry, I'm not looking for Iris today. I'm looking for you."

Caroline narrowed her eyes and smiled, obviously in a good mood.

She should indeed be in a good mood, because the filming process of the last scene went exceptionally smoothly, and the popularity of "The Awakening" was sky-high.

And she is very confident that this ending will break all the curses of "starting high and ending low" and "good dramas must have bad endings", and will completely send "The Awakening" to the altar and become another monument in the history of film and television dramas.

"Is it."

Su Chengyi thought about it and was not surprised.

Because not only does Chen Jinzhi have an actor-director relationship with her, he also has an interlude cooperation relationship with the Caroline crew.

"Please wait a moment."

Su Chengyi turned back to the room and checked the corner of Chen Jinzhi's quilt again.

Then he opened Chen Jinzhi's small notebook, which mostly recorded her daily inspirations, which might be a little confusing to others.

"Prescribe a situation."

“The Subconscious in the Actor’s Stage Self-Perception.”

"We need to complete the training of key shots today. I have agreed on six points with the martial arts instructor."

"Remember to change the medicine."

Just like the previous schedule, she would tick off each completed item one by one.

In the entire page of plans, only the last item “Remember to change the medicine” was not checked.

Su Chengyi lowered his eyes and looked for a while, then looked away and tore off a blank piece of paper from the last page.

"The director wants to talk to me about something. If you wake up, just heat up the porridge and drink it first. You don't have to wait for me."

After writing this sentence, he thought about it and added another sentence at the end.

"Good night."

Caroline waited at the door for about five minutes before Su Chengyi came out, put the room card in his pocket, and nodded.
"Sorry for the wait."

Although he said sorry, there was no sign of apology in his tone or expression.

She looks a bit like my own daughter.

Caroline laughed for a moment, then put her hands on her hips and sighed.

"Have you eaten yet? The hotel restaurant's specialty dishes are pretty good, can you help yourself?" "Anything is fine."

Su Chengyi did not comment, turned around and carefully closed the door, and the door lock only made a very slight "click" sound.

The two of them took the elevator down to the second floor, one after the other. It was almost closing time and there were not many people in the restaurant.

So as soon as Su Chengyi entered the door, he saw two familiar faces sitting by the window.

Xiao Zheng and Lulu.

There were several large plates filled with food in front of Lulu. She was saying something with tears in her eyes, while Kuku was stuffing all kinds of small desserts into his mouth.

Xiao Zheng had a complicated expression. His eyes behind the lenses kept glancing at the clock on the wall in the restaurant. It was obvious that he really wanted to run away but couldn't find a suitable reason.

As soon as Su Chengyi saw this scene, he knew it was best to stay away. He quickly stopped and turned to leave.

But he was still a step too late. Bespectacled Zheng had a good eye. He spotted his young master's cold figure from a distance and immediately yelled at the top of his lungs:
"Master!"

Caroline said "Oh" and said curiously:
"What a coincidence, Assistant Zheng and Lulu are here too."

Seeing outsiders coming, Lulu quickly lowered her head, wiped away her tears, and calmed herself down.

Xiao Zheng jumped up as if he had a spring on his butt, trotted over and led the two of them to their seats.

"Come on, come on, sit together. Director Ka, I'll go and make it for you if you want to eat something."

Caroline was obviously amused by Xiao Zheng's address as "Director Ka" and nodded.
"Thank you, thank you. It's all right. Just take whatever you want. I'd love to eat some chicken legs or duck legs. I've been eating too much naan lately and need to make up for it."

"Okay, please go ahead~"

Xiao Zheng had a smile on his face as if he was relieved, and he ran away happily.

Lulu finally wiped the tears from her face, and now hurriedly stood up and greeted him shyly:
"Director, producer, um, would you like something to drink? I'll get it."

Su Chengyi was about to shake his head and say no, but Caroline smiled and nodded:

"Sure, the lychee sparkling wine here is pretty good, would you like to try it?"

"Okay, I'll get it."

Having found an excuse to get away, Lulu breathed a sigh of relief and walked to the beverage area on the other side of the food area.

So, only Su Chengyi and Caroline were left sitting face to face at the table for four.

The young man opposite lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking, and did not speak. Fortunately, Caroline did not feel uncomfortable. She picked up a piece of potato wedge and ate it. After a while, she spoke:

"Mr. Zhi Jinchen, do you know why I came to see you?"

"know."

Su Chengyi raised his eyes and nodded.

"It's probably about the collaboration song."

"Yes, I have contacted Assistant Zheng about this matter many times, and he always just fooled me around, so I thought it would be more straightforward to ask you directly."

Caroline smiled, took out a tissue and wiped her mouth, waiting for his answer.

In fact, if it was because of lack of inspiration or because he was too busy recently and had no time to slow down the progress, she could understand.

Well, you might not understand it in the past.

She would fly into a rage, tear up the contract, and put the other party on the cooperation blacklist, never to be seen again.

But things are different now. The success of "The Awakening" is inseparable from Chen Jinzhi's stunning performance.

Even for Chen Jinzhi's sake, she couldn't really get angry with her boyfriend.

After all, I'm still looking forward to a second collaboration in the future.

"Yes."

Su Chengyi propped up his chin and looked out the window.

“Director Caroline, since the song we agreed on is a personal collaboration, my creation must be based on my understanding of the character.

Before today, I only had a superficial and superficial understanding of the character of Georgia. In fact, the most brilliant and real moment of her in the whole show was the last scene today.

By the way, let’s call her Jingzhe.”

"Of course, Jingzhe, Jingzhe."

When Caroline mentioned this matter related to the creation of the drama, her eyes lit up and she seemed very excited.

Su Chengyi couldn't help but feel a jolt in his heart, thinking that it was over and this guy's workaholic nature was aroused again.

"Mr. Zhi Jinchen, after watching today's personal confession play, what do you think as a viewer? Are there any points that need to be improved? Feel free to let me know! Did the lines and camera design bring you some inspiration for your creation?

Or do you still need time to make the next consideration and choice? It doesn’t matter, as long as it is a reasonable request, I will agree to it, as long as it does not delay the broadcast of our finale. "

Once the discussion about work officially started, Caroline couldn't stop talking and immediately started to talk a lot.

Su Chengyi felt a little dizzy after listening to this. He was about to wave his hand to indicate that it was okay and he really understood. The two people who had just gone to get food and drinks happened to come back at the same time, which changed the subject very well.

"Here we are. We're about to close and there's nothing to eat, so I just grabbed some fried food."

Xiao Zheng put down the plate and keenly noticed that their conversation seemed to be interrupted, so he gave Su Chengyi an inquiring look.

Su Chengyi nodded imperceptibly, meaning "it's okay".

Lulu brought over four glasses of the lychee sparkling wine that Caroline had just mentioned. The bartender said the alcohol content was very low, so there was no need to worry about getting drunk.

"Okay, thank you, dear."

Caroline took the wine glass, tilted her head back and took a big sip, then said "hmm" to signal Su Chengyi to continue.

"If I was a little confused and hesitant at first, after watching today's finale, I have already made up my mind."

Su Chengyi stirred the transparent alcohol in the cup, and the smell of lychee mixed with the bursting bubbles slowly rose.

"Oh oh oh oh!!"

Unexpectedly, when he said this, the other three people at the table became so excited that they almost overturned the table.

"What kind of plane are you doing?"

Su Chengyi pressed the corner of the table in time and asked with a confused look on his face.

"Master, you don't know how miserable I am waiting for you. I've been playing around with Director Caroline every day and telling a bunch of lies. I'm exhausted!"

Xiao Zheng complained first.

"That's right, it's exhausting to listen to his weird lies! And more!!"

Caroline slapped the table excitedly and raised her voice:

“For “The Awakening”, the matching of the finale scene and the background music that sounded at the right time was very, very, very important!!
To be honest, we are only one step away from becoming a god! And the success or failure of this step is in your hands!! Do you understand, Zhi Jinchen!!!"

Few people called him "Zhi Jinchen" in such a clear and correct voice to his face. Su Chengyi felt a little embarrassed when he heard it. He clenched his fist and coughed to change the subject.

"So, Lulu, what are you so excited about?"

"Because Iris said that she really wanted to hear what kind of song Zhi Jinchen would write this time."

Lulu said stupidly.
