I Heard You Like Me Too

Chapter 3

“Leading Actress Du,” the words ‘leading actress’ was said heavily. Ye Jing An slightly raised his brows and softly smiled, “Can you not get kick out of the set today, it was really hard to watch ah.”

Ye Jing An’s clean wine-like voice made those listening feel intoxicated. At this point, his voice was gentle and soft, as if a breeze drifted to the bottom of the heart, making it itch.

“Oh,” Du Yu Shu smiled. Her facial features were exquisitely glamorous; when she smiled, there was an indescribable gentleness in it, “Of course, but yesterday Emperor Ye looks really nice ah. When you left the set, you smiled like a flower, really beautiful.”

Ye Jing An’s expression slightly sank, and he lightly laughed, “Naturally, I can’t be compared to Leading Actress Du, very glamorous to the point that it astonish others.”

Du Yu Shu’s nails dug into the palm of her hands, she lightly laughs, “How can I compare to Emperor Ye’s superb acting skill which is revered by all.”

The smell of gunpowder could be detected a thousand miles away. Wang Jie and Wei Meng looked at each other and exchanged a wry smile. They hurried to pull the two people away from each other and proceed to enter the studio.

Wang Jie almost cried out.

She has a premonition that today, Director Zhang will throw out Du Yu Shu.

They haven’t even entered the studio yet and are already fighting. She wouldn’t believe that they would be able to act like a cute loving couple.

Du Yu Shu had already debuted for eight years. Last year, she took home the Golden Leaf Award. At this point, she already won three film award. Du Yu Shu grew up well, her acting is good, she has a strong background and her EQ and IQ are not low. In the entertainment circle, she can be considered like a fish in water, able to mix with ease.

Although she is indifferent to most people, during those eight years, she did not have any conflict with other people. Except for Ye Jing An.

These two people seemed to have a hatred that was generated from their previous lifetimes. Every time they meet, it is like a clash that leaves both sides shattered, clashing with great effort. Even the entire entertainment industry knows that Du Yu Shu and Ye Jing An don’t get along harmoniously.

Obviously, it wasn’t like this before. Wang Jie frowned as she recalled that time in her memory. During their first project together, Du Yu Shu was a rookie in the entertainment world. Her first drama was a collaboration with Ye Jing An; at that time, their relationship was pretty good ah.....

When did it become like this?

It seems that after their collaboration in 《Sage King》, Du Yu Shu and Ye Jing An’s relationship deteriorated.

Wang Jie seems to be in a trance as she had stopped walking. Seeing that Wang Jie is not with her, Du Yu Shu looked back and called, “Wang Jie.”

After Du Yu Shu called her, Wang Jie broke from her memories and quickly catch up to Du Yu Shu and went into the studio together.

In Du Yu Shu’s private dressing room, her make-up artist, Li jie (older sister), asked while doing her make-up, “Why is your complexion so bad today? You look pale.”

Du Yu Shu looks helplessly at her reflection in the mirror; it does look a little pale, “Just tired.”

“I will get you a hot water bottle,” Li jie said, “Girls need to protect themselves, their bodies are very important.”

Du Yu Shu declined, using a hot water bottle in the middle of summer would only make her die from the heat.

Li jie had been Du Yu Shu’s exclusive make-up artist for five years; she knows her temper, so she didn’t persuade her any further. After she finished doing her makeup, Li jie packed up and smiled, “Have Xiao Bai go buy you some hot porridge. Don’t mess with your health.”

Du Yu Shu nodded knowingly. She was provided her own lounge area, separate from the other crew, but she doesn’t like using it. She generally likes sitting outside with the others, watching the other actors film.

Today was no exception.

Wang Jie had long sent Xiao Bai to buy some hot porridge. Seeing Du Yu Shu weakly turn the page of her script, she had some distress, “Drink some hot water, or do you want a hot water bottle to cover instead?”

“No need,” Du Yu Shu waves her hand, “I’ll only sweat, it is too hot.”

Today, most of Du Yu Shu’s scenes are with Ye Jing An and there are some with the flower store owner. As she was looking over the script, the actress playing the flower store owner, Zhang Yi, came over. She hesitated before giving a nervous smile, “Du jie, in a while, we will be filming, can you rehearse with me? I am a little nervous.”

When she finished speaking, she bowed her head and touched her hair shyly.

Zhang Yi was originally a singer, only a year ago did she turn to acting. In the《My Darling, Good Morning》crew, she can be considered a newbie. She keeps a low profile, has a sweet mouth, a diligent worker, and tries hard at acting, Du Yu Shu’s impression of her was okay. Seeing her nervous expression, she agreed.

“Sure.”

In actuality, however, Du Yu Shu’s body wasn’t feeling so well, but she still acted seriously with the young lady. Xiao Bai stood patiently at the side with the porridge. When the scene was over, the porridge was already cold.

Xiao Bai lowered his head in frustration and said to Wang Jie, “I’ll go buy some more, this porridge is already cold.

“No need,” Du Yu Shu turned a page of the script, “It’ll be my turn in a while. Even if you buy it, I won’t have time to drink it. Forget it.”

After Zhang Yi finished rehearsing with Du Yu Shu, she stayed around and chatted with her. Although Du Yu Shu was aloof, she is very polite, much to Zhang Yi’s relief; her heart was somewhat nervous. After chatting for a couple of minutes, Zhang Yi suddenly asked, “Du jie, what kind of actor do you like?”

Du Yu Shu originally did not want to answer, but when she turned and coincidentally saw Ye Jing An sitting behind her, she couldn’t help but sneer. She replied, “Someone at least 1.85 meters (~6’), handsome and masculine, cheerful, and can provide a sense of security.”

These qualities are better than Ye Jing An. Ye Jing An had none of the qualities that Du Yu Shu likes. When Du Yu Shu finishes speaking, she was out of breath, even her stomach felt uncomfortable. At first, Zhang Yi didn’t notice anything, but when she looked up and saw Ye Jing An’s dark expression and then Du Yu Shu’s smug expression, what else does she not know?

These two people really hate each other!

The young lady found an excuse to escape leaving Du Yu Shu to continue reading her script.

In fact, Du Yu Shu does not like to talk to unfamiliar people.

When Ye Jing An’s assistant, Xiao Song, came back holding a bag of porridge, Ye Jing An coldly said, “Throw it away.”

Xiao Song, “......Ah?!”

Ye Jing An bitterly gritted his teeth. He took a couple of deep breaths and said, “Give it to the crew, there is also a couple packet of sugar as well, give it to them.”

After he finished speaking, Ye Jing An went to his own lounge room.

Xiao Song scratched his head in puzzlement. Wei Meng slapped his head and said, “Still not going? Give it to that leading actress first, those two just fought earlier.” These artists don’t worry, but they, the agents, worry.

“Oh, oh, oh!” Xiao Song heavily nodded his head and went over to Du Yu Shu’s side. Wei Meng secretly cursed and went over to Ye Jing An.

Xiao Song smilingly gave Wang Jie three servings of the porridge. Wang Jie turned and gave the still-hot porridge to Du Yu Shu along with a pack of sugar. Du Yu Shu raised a brow, “Why so thoughtful today?”

Du Yu Shu loves to eat sweets but since it is fattening, Wang Jie would usually restrain the amount she eats. Du Yu Shu added the packet of sugar into the porridge and realized that it is red dates porridge, there was also some buried on the top. Du Yu Shu’s expression changed.

Wang Jie didn’t speak. When she saw that Du Yu Shu took a mouthful of the porridge then did she say, “It wasn’t me. It was sent over by Xiao Song, he is Ye Jing An’s assistant.”

Du Yu Shu almost sprayed out a mouthful of the porridge but she managed to keep it in. After a while did she say, “There’s no poison in it right?”

“Just eat it!” Wang Jie rolled her eyes, “The whole crew has it.”

Du Yu Shu suddenly doesn’t want to eat it anymore, but Wang Jie earnestly persuaded, “Ye Jing An just issued a truce, don’t quarrel with him anymore. Later on, you two will have to act as sweet, loving couples.”

Seeing Du Yu Shu’s expressionless face, Wang Jie had some grievance, “Comrade Du Yu Shu!”

Du Yu Shu looked at the red date porridge in her hand for a long time. She said, “There is no way he would stand down. Just you wait, when we start filming, he will drive me insane.”

“Everyone in the crew had a serving, don’t think too much of it.”

Wang Jie lamented.

In the lounge, Wei Meng chattered endlessly to Ye Jing An, who wasn’t listening. Only when Wei Meng stopped for a breather did Ye Jing An ask, “Is there any way for me to grow?”

“Ah?!” Wei Meng blinked, “Grow?! What is with this sudden idea. You’re already 1.83 meters (~5’9”), isn’t that enough?”

“Nevermind.” Ye Jing An coldly said, his heart feeling a little frustrated.

Ignoring this little episode, Wei Meng earnestly asked, “In the end, what kind of hatred do you and Du Yu Shu have...”

“At least 1.85 meters (~6’), handsome and masculine, cheerful, and can provide a sense of security.”

Ye Jing An frowned as he thought of Du Yu Shu’s words. Must he be that tall?

At this moment, a knock came from the door. Assistant Xiao Song reminded, “An ge, it’s your turn to film.”

“En.” Ye Jing An nodded and gracefully walk out.

When Director Zhang saw that Du Yu Shu and Ye Jing An are in position, he started cursing, “If you two waste my time again, I will throw you out!”

All of a sudden, the peach blossoms drifted in the sky. The pink petals created a sweet atmosphere. Du Yu Shu leaned against a tree, as the petals briskly drifted down. She let out a sweet bell-like laughter.

From the distance, Ye Jing An, wearing a white dress shirt, walked over holding an umbrella and a gentle smile, looking like someone anyone would have a crush on.

“Ah Yao....” He softly said, his eyes carried a trace of gentleness. As if their hearts are linked as one, Du Yu Shu looked back and smiled, their eyes met under the drifting peach blossoms––––
