Chinese Entertainment: Top-Tier Boyfriends of Young Actresses

On June 4th, the sycamore leaves on campus were a deep green, and sunlight filtered through the branches, scattering golden light across the asphalt road.

Su Yu and Tian Xiwei, dressed in their high school uniforms, walked hand in hand along the tree-lined campus path.

"Cut!" Yang Long shouted excitedly, standing up from behind the monitor. He took a deep breath, "I hereby announce that filming for 'A Love So Beautiful' has officially wrapped!"

The moment the words were spoken, the entire set erupted in cheers.

The stagehands threw down their walkie-talkies and started clapping, the photographer took off his headphones and raised his arms in a shout, and the makeup artists and the stage manager hugged each other, jumping and yelling.

Su Yu, holding Tian Xiwei's hand, exchanged a glance amidst the bustling crowd and smiled at each other.

"Tonight's the wrap party, everyone knows it's at the Sheraton Hotel, right? No one is allowed to miss it!"

Yang Long shouted into the walkie-talkie, his voice filled with excitement.

"Long live the director!" Another cheer erupted on set.

At 8 p.m., the film crew's producer had already booked the entire banquet hall and set up more than a dozen tables.

There were posters and banners with the theme of "A Love So Beautiful" at the entrance, and the costume photos of the main actors were posted on the wall.

The crew members gradually arrived. The photographers, lighting crew, makeup artists, and prop masters each set up several tables, while the actors sat in the front seats.

Su Yu and the main creative team, including the director and producer, sat at the main table. Hu Yitian, as the "crown prince" of the drama's cute studio and the second male lead, naturally also sat at the main table.

Tian Xiwei was sitting at the children's table—no, the girls' table—and was whispering to Wang Ziwei, glancing at Su Yu every now and then.

Before all the dishes were served, Su Yu picked up his wine glass.

He was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt today, with the cuffs rolled up twice, and he looked neat and tidy.

He poured the first glass of baijiu to the brim, and then walked over to Dai Lu with the glass in his hand.

"President Dai, this first toast is for you." Su Yu held up a full glass of baijiu, his tone very serious. "Thank you so much for choosing me to play Jiang Chen and giving me this valuable opportunity. I wish you good health and I also wish 'A Love So Beautiful' a huge success."

Dai Lu also raised her glass and clinked it with his.

She was from the north and could easily drink baijiu (Chinese liquor), but after hearing Su Yu's words, the smile on her face was noticeably more genuine than usual.

"To be honest, in all my years as a producer, I've rarely seen a young actor as dedicated to understanding and nurturing a character as you are. I have high hopes for your future. Enough said, cheers!"

She tilted her head back and drank the rest of the wine in her glass in one gulp.

Su Yu poured another glass and walked over to Yang Long.

"Director Yang, this glass is to you. You have given me a lot of help and guidance during these three months on set."

Yang Long stood up and clinked glasses with him, his tone filled with undisguised admiration: "Xiao Su, you are one of the most dedicated and talented young actors I have ever seen. Keep it up, you will definitely become famous in the future."

After he finished speaking, he downed his drink, and Su Yu followed suit, drinking it all in one gulp.

Afterwards, Su Yu toasted the assistant director and screenwriter one by one. The assistant director, a senior figure, patted him on the shoulder and said he would definitely achieve great things in the future;

The screenwriter earnestly stated that his performance gave Jiang Chen many details beyond the script, and he felt honored to see the character he wrote portrayed in such a way.

Su Yu walked from table to table with a wine glass in hand, toasting the film crew, lighting crew, makeup crew, and production crew at each table.

Hu Yitian followed suit, holding a glass of baijiu and following behind Su Yu. However, he was clearly not a good drinker. After only three tables of toasts, he started talking too much and grabbed Su Yu's arm, insisting on drinking with him.

It was almost 11 o'clock when the party ended.

Su Yu drank at least 1.5 jin (750ml) of alcohol today, and his legs were wobbly when he walked.

Hu Yitian and Sun Ning each supported one of his arms as they walked towards the hotel, while Tian Xiwei followed behind them carrying Su Yu's coat.

Although Hu Yitian looked half-dead at the dinner table, he unexpectedly became energetic again after the party ended.

Tian Xiwei was already waiting at the door. She had only drunk a little bit of alcohol today and was very sober.

Hu Yitian and Sun Ning helped Su Yu to the bedside, and said to Tian Xiwei, panting, "Xiao Tian, ​​this guy is in your hands now, we're going back first."

"Thank you, Brother Tian and Brother Sun, you've worked hard."

Tian Xiwei waved to them.

After the two left, the room became quiet.

Tian Xiwei looked at Su Yu, who was lying paralyzed on the bed, and sighed.

He was lying on his back, two buttons on his shirt had somehow come undone, his collar was crooked, his face was burning hot, and the strong smell of alcohol on his breath made her grimace.

She bent down to help him unbutton the remaining buttons, muttering, "If you can't drink, then drink less. Do you think you're the God of Wine when you're this drunk?"

Just as she was pulling his shirt sleeve out by one arm, Su Yu suddenly sat up, staring blankly at her.

"Xiaotian, you're so beautiful, I like you so much." He said, reaching out his hands to hug her.

Tian Xiwei was so angry at his words that she laughed, and instinctively dodged to the side.

"Get lost, you stinky bastard, don't try to act crazy with me!" she retorted in Sichuan dialect, her tone full of disgust.

Su Yu didn't back down. He reached forward with both hands and hugged her waist. Then he leaned against her, his eyes closed and his voice muffled.

"I couldn't sleep every night before because you ignored me. I was so sad. Please don't ignore me anymore, okay?"

Tian Xiwei stopped moving.

She looked down at Su Yu leaning against her, and her gaze softened.

"Okay, okay, I promise you everything, alright? I won't ignore you anymore, okay? Let go of me now, I need to clean you up."

She spoke patiently in a coaxing tone, gently patting his back.

Su Yu seemed satisfied, loosened his grip, and leaned back onto the bed.

Tian Xiwei was about to get up to continue helping him take off his shoes when she suddenly stopped.

She looked at Su Yu's handsome face. She had heard Xiao Lu say before that men tell the truth when they are drunk.

Su Yu usually has a mouth as sweet as honey, and he can say all sorts of sweet words without batting an eye. She can't tell which ones are true and which ones are just perfunctory.

But things are different now. He's drunk, and he had to be helped back to the hotel. If you ask him now, it's probably true.

So she sat back down on the edge of the bed, hesitated for two seconds, and then spoke softly, "Su Yu."

"Um."

"I'm going to ask you something, so answer me honestly."

"good……"

She bit her lip: "The day you picked someone up, was that fragrance you wore another girl's?"

"Yes."

Tian Xiwei's eyes changed, and her gaze dimmed slightly.

Her fingers gripped the sheets tightly, her palms sweating slightly, and she tried to keep her voice steady: "Who is that person?"

"It was an actress from my previous film crew. She came to see me about something, and I couldn't refuse. It won't happen again. You are the most important person to me, and I will never make you sad again."

After he finished speaking, his breathing gradually became even, as if he had really fallen asleep.

Tian Xiwei remained silent for a long time.

She slowly pulled her hand out of Su Yu's grasp, then lowered her head and gently placed a kiss on his forehead.

"Su Yu, I hope you're not lying to me."

Her voice was very soft.

Afterwards, she hung Su Yu's shirt on the hanger, arranged his shoes neatly, went to the bathroom to wring out a hot towel, came back and sat on the edge of the bed, wiping his face little by little.

Su Yu hummed softly in his sleep, his brows furrowing slightly before relaxing again.

She draped the towel over the bedside table and bent down to help him take off his shoes.

Then she stood up, grabbed his trouser legs with both hands, and pulled and tugged them off his legs, folding them neatly and draping them over the back of the chair.

Finally, he poured a glass of water and placed it on the bedside table so that Su Yu could easily reach it if he woke up thirsty in the middle of the night.

After doing all that, she was quite tired.

After thinking about it, Tian Xiwei decided not to sleep next to him.

After all, Su Yu was reeking of alcohol, and no one could sleep well if they were all together.

So she took a spare blanket, put it on the sofa, and made a bed that was barely comfortable.

Moonlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, illuminating Su Yu's quiet profile.

Looking at Su Yu's face, which was sharply defined by the moonlight, and recalling what he had just said, the last bit of anger in her heart dissipated.

"You silly boy."

She muttered a curse under her breath in Sichuan dialect.

Then I lay down on the sofa, closed my eyes, listened to his even breathing, and slowly relaxed.

As soon as Tian Xiwei lay down, Su Yu opened his eyes.
