Ch 76 Part 1 â New Movie (I)
The moment she saw Si Yue, Fu Yunruoâs complicated emotions suddenly turned into a deep embarrassment.
Fortunately, neither Wenwen nor Si Yue noticed her strangeness.
âWenwen has been doing really well at school. Teacher Su praised him so much.â Si Yue said with a smile. He patted the boyâs head tenderly, âI will give you a reward.â
Wenwen was so proud, but he did his best to look calm and mature. âWhat reward?â Asked him, his pair of big round eyes sparkled with excitement.
âWhat reward do you want?â
He can choose? Wenwen was very happy. He thought for a while, but couldnât think of a good one, so he finally said, âAnything is okay!â
âThen I have to think well to give our Wenwen a good surprise.â
Wenwen nodded enthustiastically, grinning from ear to ear.
Fu Yunruo looked at their interaction with an inexplicable expression on her face. How could she be so blind before and fail to see the truth? Si Yueâs attitude towards Wenwen, and the way they got along, was no different from that of a father and sonâŠ
Fu Yunruo tried her best to control the urge to pull Wenwen apart from Si Yue and keep him by her side. She turned to Si Yue and said politely, âThank you, Mr. Yue.â Fu Yunruo tried to act normally, but she didnât realize how stiff her smile was. âIâve gotten much better, so we shouldnât bother you any longer. From tomorrow, I will start sending Wenwen to and from school again.â
Wenwen had already noticed that Fu Yunruo seldom coughed or sneezed these last two days. He was very happy that his mother had recovered and didnât have to suffer anymore. âMom, you have to pay more attention to your health and donât tire yourself. We were very worried, you know!â
During the days Fu Yunruo was too ill to get off bed, everyone was very worried and sad for her, especially Wenwen, who couldnât wait to take over the suffering in her place. He was worried sick all day. At school, all he could think about was whether his Mom was getting better today and whether she was recuperating well at home.
âMom knows.â Fu Yunruo laughed, âI will definitely be more careful from now on.â
The little guy gave her a serious admonition, so Fu Yunruo had no choice but to promise him repeatedly. When she raised her head again, she inadvertently met Si Yueâs gaze, watching over them with a warm smile.
Fu Yunruo was taken aback for a moment. She averted her gaze in embarrassment and said awkwardly, âIâve really troubled you this time. Please let me know if you need any help in the future.â
Fu Yunruo sincerely wanted to repay Si Yue, but she couldnât think of anything she could do for him. If she invited him to dinner or something, they would end up getting closer in this ambiguous relationship, which was bad for both sidesâŠ
âItâs nothing. After all, Wenwen is myâŠâ
Fu Yunruoâs heart almost jumped out of her chest.
ââŠgood friend, isnât he?â Si Yue laughed, âA little help between friends is normal.â
âBy the way, I wanted to tell you something.â Si Yue changed the subject, âYuan Xin came today. There is a good movie, and he wanted to get Wenwen a role there. What do you think?â
Movie? Fu Yunruo was taken aback for a moment, and it took a while to remember that Wenwen was still a talent under Yuan Xin. The boy had expressed his liking for acting, so she signed him up with Apple Entertainment. But after Wenwen finished filming his first variety show, he stopped getting in touch with the entertainment industry, and Yuan Xin hadnât mentioned it either, so she totally forgot.
Thinking about it again, although the company gave Wenwen absolute freedom and allowed him to choose when to work or not, it was normal for Yuan Xin, as an agent, to seek resources. Their family of two was living in a remote mountain village before, far from any major cities, and she wouldnât feel at ease to let her son travel far to film at such a young age. Yuan Xin knew this, so he didnât even bother to ask.
But now they had moved to Beijing, it should be very convenient for Wenwen to receive acting jobs and such. Yet, Fu Yunruo was still hesitant. Would it be okay to allow Wenwen to film at such a young age?
Fu Yunruo was in a dilemma, but Wenwen was very happy with the news Si Yue brought him. He grabbed Si Yueâs leg, raised his head, and asked excitedly: âWhat movie is it? Uncle Yue, will you also play in it?â
âOf course, I am the male lead.â To be exact, this movie featured a group of different protagonists, but the role Si Yue took had the most screen time, so it wasnât wrong to call him the male lead.
âI want to! Let me play!â Wenwen said excitedly.
Itâs so exciting to play in the same movie as his idol! For Wenwen, this opportunity was a miracle. He was so happy that he started jumping around, âI want to play with Uncle Yue!â
Then he asked curiously, âWhat movie is it?â
In order to imitate Si Yue and learn his acting skills, Wenwen was very familiar with every work he featured in. But to his knowledge, Si Yue had already announced his retirement from the entertainment industry at this time in his previous life.
The giant who stood at the pinnacle of great actors suddenly retired, causing a huge wave that took nearly a year to subside.
The movie Si Yue took this time shouldnât be among his works Wenwen was familiar with from his previous life, so he couldnât guess what it was.
The development of this life was completely different from the previous one. At this point, there were still no signs of Si Yue announcing his retirement, and he even continued taking roles in movies.
Could it be that Uncle Yue didnât quit the entertainment industry because he wanted to protect him? The idea put another wide grin on Wenwenâs face. Although he might be overthinking, if this was really the case⊠oh, how nice!
