A cool and gentle beauty (bottom) vs. a straightforward and outspoken school heartthrob (top)
Shen Yu felt a surge of joy the moment he saw Yu Qing.
In the sweltering heat of summer, Shen Yu filmed three more takes before finally taking off his thermal jacket and handing it to his assistant.
He was only wearing a black short-sleeved shirt underneath, which was already soaked with sweat, and the muscle lines on his body were clearly visible.
The incessant chirping of cicadas overhead made Shen Yu look for a shady spot with a somber expression.
But their eyes met just as the boy's gaze inadvertently swept over from under the shade of the tree.
Shen Yu was stunned.
The boy, dressed in a crisp white short-sleeved shirt, sat quietly on a small stool, a script resting on his lap, holding a small electric fan in his hand.
A gentle breeze rustled the pages of the book.
Her hair was black and her eyes were clear; her skin was as white as snow.
Shen Yu even wanted to reach out and touch his face to see if it was as cold as snow.
I'd barely taken half a step when reason returned.
Shen Yu thought it best not to bother him, given his own sweaty appearance.
But the man misunderstood, thinking that this seemingly intimidating colleague had his eye on the electric fan in his hand, and waved it at him.
"Is this what you want?"
Shen Yu's apple bobbed, and he suddenly felt a bit hot and very thirsty.
Since you invited me, it's not a bother. Shen Yu easily convinced himself.
Yu Qing casually picked up the bottled water next to her. "Thank you for your hard work. This is from the director, it hasn't been touched."
Shen Yu said thank you, unscrewed the bottle cap, and drank half the bottle in one gulp.
Yu Qing subconsciously looked at his bobbing Adam's apple and his well-defined muscles; the hormonal aura made the air seem restless.
I looked up and met his fierce eyes.
"Here, take this." Yu Qing lowered her head, her face slightly flushed.
As if possessed, Shen Yu took the small fan from his hand. The cool breeze brushed against the beads of sweat on his neck, making him feel a little itchy.
"What's your name?" So well-behaved.
" Yu Qing, the 'yu' in 'lush greenery' and the 'qing' in 'clear water'."
Shen Yu moved a small stool over and sat a few steps away from him. "My name is Shen Yu."
As he spoke, he picked up a small stick from the ground and wrote, stroke by stroke, "My name sounds the same as yours."
Yu Qing praised him, "Your handwriting is really beautiful."
Shen Yu pursed his lips, his face secretly blushing.
The two chatted briefly and found they hit it off immediately. They were similar in age and both were freshmen.
"So you're from the drama academy. No wonder you knew all that I was talking about."
Yu Qing rested her chin on her hands and said with a smile, "I'm from next door, the Imperial Capital Film Academy."
Shen Yu felt a little nervous. He didn't know why he was so excited to hear that the two of them were in the same university town, but he tried his best to calm himself down and said restrainedly, "Very impressive."
Yu Qing chuckled. Shen Yu, unsure if he had said something wrong, coughed lightly and resumed drinking water.
"This role was introduced to me by a teacher at my college. After I asked him a few questions, he remembered me and said he wanted me to use my summer vacation to do more practical experience."
Shen Yu debuted a little Yu Qing, and played the third male Dong Ke, in this movie.
Yu Qing's eyes lit up slightly as she showed him her script. "I play Yu Ji, and I'll have scenes with you later on."
Although it was just a minor supporting role, Yu Qing still prepared very diligently and even wrote a short biography for the character.
Shen Yu flipped through a few pages and said sincerely, "You will definitely be able to do a great job."
Yu Qing smiled sincerely, "Thank you."
At the end of the year, the movie "Wish" was released, and this newcomer actor officially made his debut in the entertainment industry with his role.
Shen Yu won Best Supporting Actor, Yu Qing won the Best Newcomer Award.
By then, they had become good friends. To celebrate each other winning awards, they even made a special trip to a restaurant.
"The teacher praised me." Yu Qing was especially happy tonight, having drunk several glasses of wine. She proactively clinked glasses with Shen Yu's, "Thank you for taking care of me these past few days."
Shen Yu shifted his gaze from the other's crimson lips, and downed the drink in one gulp. "I didn't do anything; it was all your own doing."
After saying that, he added, "Congratulations."
"What? You always act with me." Yu Qing leaned on the table, her chin resting on her wrist, and looked up at him with a smile.
"Many people at school know me now. I've also made a lot of friends and added many people on Weixun."
But someone as beautiful as you, with such a great personality, is naturally very popular.
Shen Yu tugged at his collar, feeling inexplicably irritated.
Is it a man or a woman?
"Um?"
Shen Yu poured himself a drink, trying to hide his embarrassment, and asked, "Was the person who asked you for your Weixun a boy or a girl?"
How do you know they asked me for it?
Shen Yu's gaze lingered on his cool and refined face for a moment, then met those clear, glassy eyes, and he remained silent.
"It's definitely a boy," Yu Qing replied without annoyance. "Adding a girl's contact information so casually is frivolous, especially since we've never even met."
"..." Shen Yu became even more irritated.
"What could they possibly want from you?" Shen Yu frowned unhappily. "Men are unpredictable; don't be fooled."
"How could that be? They're all upperclassmen from the same school, it's alright," Yu Qing said. "I'll take you to visit our school another day, everyone there is very good-looking, it's a real treat for the eyes."
Shen Yu felt incredibly jealous and blurted out, "What about me?"
Both of them were taken aback when they asked the question.
Yu Qing shook his head, realizing he was a little drunk. He joked, "Of course you're good-looking, very handsome."
"To be honest, I was immediately struck by your beauty the moment I saw you," Yu Qing said frankly. "It's just that your aura is a bit fierce, giving off a feeling of... strong attack power."
"But after getting to know them, I found they were alright."
Yu Qing recalled that when he was on set, apart from necessary filming and communication, he hardly ever spoke to anyone. Even when a young girl came up to talk to him, he acted very fierce.
Yu Qing nodded and commented sharply, "You suffered because you didn't know how to speak properly."
These words made Shen Yu's heart flutter. He felt that his question had been too abrupt, but Yu Qing didn't seem to mind at all and even answered very seriously.
Fueled by alcohol, Shen Yu sat closer and, mimicking his posture, leaned on the table to look at him. "I only talk to you."
Yu Qing's eyelashes trembled slightly, and for a moment she thought she was hallucinating.
"I like you, so I want to be closer to you. If I don't find topics to talk about, I don't know how to approach you."
Shen Yu's tone was as blunt as ever, which startled Yu Qing so much that her eyes widened and she was speechless for a long time.
Shen Yu, he...
"I like you."
Do you like me?
Yu Qing closed her eyes briefly and said, "I think I'm drunk."
Even if you're drunk, I'll still tell you.
Shen Yu had never felt such a deep sense of crisis. His intuition told him that if he didn't seize this opportunity to trap the person, it would be difficult to find another chance once the person was released back to school.
"I'm not good with words, and I don't know how to say anything nice, but I still want to say it."
Shen Yu took a deep breath, finished the wine in his glass, and then, as if to bolster his courage, said, "I want to be your boyfriend and take care of you forever."
Yu Qing rubbed her temples. "Ugh, I feel a little dizzy. I think I should go back. Shen Yu, I'll go first..."
A shadow suddenly fell in front of me, followed by a soft touch on my forehead.
It's very light, and it leaves the moment it touches you.
If Shen Yu hadn't stayed, Yu Qing would have almost thought she was delirious.
Perhaps because it was the first time he had done something so lewd, Shen Yu felt a little guilty, but his gaze towards Yu Qing remained unwavering, his eyes dark and bright.
Yu Qing suddenly felt that "handsome" might not even be enough to describe the person in front of her.
She has single eyelids, a high nose bridge, and thin, attractive lips.
When she looked down and examined her closely, her black, wispy hair fell down, the ends gently brushing against her thin eyelashes, and there was a small mole at the corner of her eye.
It's light brown, and you can't really tell unless you look closely.
During this time, Yu Qing had come to know Shen Yu quite well and naturally knew that he was not such a frivolous person. He probably did such an impulsive thing because he was under the influence of alcohol.
So Yu Qing turned her face away, ignoring the pounding of her heart, and rationally refused, "Let's talk about it tomorrow when we're both sober."
With that, he got up to leave.
But his wrist was grabbed.
Shen Yu lowered his eyes, a hint of dejection flashing across his face, as if he were somewhat hurt. But he still smiled politely, and despite being young and vigorous, he didn't act recklessly under the influence of alcohol.
He simply said, "When I get back, classes will start, and I don't know when we'll see each other again... Can I come to the school to see you?"
After saying that, he added, "Or you can come find me!"
"No, what I mean is..."
Shen Yu tried several different excuses, his words becoming increasingly difficult to articulate, "I... I want to see you again, will you give me that chance?"
Ugh, that's so stupid.
Shen Yu thought dejectedly, "What nonsense am I spouting?"
Yu Qing couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Shen Yu stared blankly at him, his pupils reflecting the other's gentle, lively smile.
"I'm talking about tomorrow, tomorrow. If you still have this idea when you're sober, I'll give you an answer."
"But you've reminded me that classes officially start tomorrow." Yu Qing thought for a few seconds, then smiled. "But I don't have class tomorrow afternoon, so I'll come find you."
With a bang, the fireworks in Shen Yu's head exploded.

Well, Yu Qing wife has a slightly flirtatious vibe.
The two are in love.
