Mr Fu, I Really Love You

Chapter 1209: She’s a Natural-Born Actress!

Zhou Yuchen actually had a lot of questions to ask Yun Liuli, but he was never a good talker.

He was worried about Yun Liuli and was even more worried about the guy she liked. This guy seemed to be much older than her, and age gap aside, he was worried that this guy had used improper means to have her wrapped around his little finger.

Although Yun Liuli didn’t love him, he couldn’t let the girl he loved get hurt.

Guan Nina was outgoing and talkative. On the other hand, the older Jacob Bellucci was quiet and reserved and seemed like he was a man of few words. Hence, Guan Nina didn’t dare to ask Jacob Bellucci questions and instead talked a lot about Yun Liuli’s excellent performance at school to liven up the atmosphere, as well as help Yun Liuli pursue Jacob Bellucci.

The expression on Jacob Bellucci’s face was somewhat stiff, and he felt too awkward to interrupt Guan Nina, who continued to ramble. He clearly didn’t know how to continue the conversation, and his actions were as awkward as they could be.

Zhou Yuchen sat at the side shelling pine nuts. He wordlessly passed a handful of shelled pine nuts to Yun Liuli, who then passed them to Guan Nina as she stared at her.

The young lady didn’t stand on ceremony and took the pine nuts as she continued, “Liuli just charged towards those people and hurled a brick at someone’s head, causing him to bleed profusely!”

“What are you talking about?” Yun Liuli laughed.

“I’m telling the truth!” Guan Nina threw a few pine nuts into her mouth and continued, “Zhou Yuchen saw it too. Aren’t I right, Zhou Yuchen?”

Zhou Yuchen nodded.

Seeing that Zhou Yuchen agreed with her, Guan Nina said to Jacob Bellucci, “So, our Liuli is a beautiful heroine that you’ll only meet once in a blue moon! Don’t let our Liuli chase after you for too long! She’s very popular among the guys!”

“How many times have you said that?” Yun Liuli reminded her.

“I’m telling the truth. Nothing wrong with that!” Guan Nina smiled brightly.

Sheng Kang was speechless.

Had Yun Liuli used all the self-defense moves Gu Qingcheng taught her just to save a pretty boy?

Zhou Yuchen focused all of his attention on observing Jacob Bellucci.

Zhou Yuchen didn’t understand just what Yun Liuli liked about Jacob Bellucci. He didn’t seem to be friendly or a good talker. When Guan Nina talked to him, he always frowned and avoided her gaze, as if he felt very uncomfortable.

He was very different from what Zhou Yuchen imagined him to be. Zhou Yuchen thought… the guy Yun Liuli liked had to be someone tall and big, and someone that radiated positivity—someone different from him!

The guy in front of him was tall, but he definitely didn’t radiate positivity. On the contrary, he gave off a gloomy feeling…

Zhou Yuchen knew this gloomy feeling very well. It was identical to the gloominess that he exuded.

As a result, Zhou Yuchen boldly wondered if Jacob Bellucci had caught Yun Liuli’s eye because he was also once bullied.

After all, Yun Liuli loved to help piles of mud like them.

If that was the case… why couldn’t Yun Liuli like him instead?

Zhou Yuchen thought about it as he looked away.

Was it because he wasn’t ambitious?

Was it because he wasn’t working hard enough for Yun Liuli to notice him?

Zhou Yuchen looked at Yun Liuli, who was smiling brightly…

After leaving the hospital, Zhou Yuchen was somber. His heart had sunk after seeing how nice Yun Liuli was to Jacob Bellucci.

“Zhou Yuchen!” Guan Nina suddenly called out to Zhou Yuchen.

Zhou Yuchen turned back to look at Guan Nina…

Maybe because it was dark outside, Guan Nina mustered up the courage to wrap her arms around Zhou Yuchen’s narrow waist. Before Zhou Yuchen could push her away… she pulled away from him.

“I’ll continue to like you no matter your feelings towards Liuli! I believe I’ll move you with my sincerity! Liuli and I have to work hard, and I believe we’ll both be able to get the guys of our dreams in the end!” Guan Nina looked up at Zhou Yuchen and flashed him a bright smile.

Zhou Yuchen looked at Guan Nina, whose eyes shone under the streetlights, and frowned slightly. “I only like Yun Liuli…”

“I know! It’s okay… I’ll work hard and make you fall in love with me!” Guan Nina was very optimistic, especially after seeing that Yun Liuli was pursuing the guy she loved. She was like a role model to Guan Nina, giving her the courage to do the same.

Zhou Yuchen remained silent. He didn’t want to give Guan Nina any false hope, but she didn’t mind at all. “I believe… you’ll fall in love with me one day! You definitely will!”

Guan Nina grabbed onto the strap of her bag with both hands and smiled at Zhou Yuchen. “I’ll send you home!”

“It’s okay, I’ll take a taxi home myself!” Zhou Yuchen said as he flagged down a taxi, stepped into it, and left.

Guan Nina stood at the path in front of the hospital. She turned back to glance at the hospital and smiled. Both she and Yun Liuli had to work harder.

…

With Sheng Kang taking care of Jacob Bellucci, Yun Liuli followed the cast and crew of “The General” to film a variety show with her mind at ease.

The variety show was filmed indoors and hence wouldn’t be physically demanding. They only had to play some entertaining games like charades or Undercover, that or some games that required more thinking.

Yun Liuli was the actress who appeared the most in “The General” and played Xie Xun’s love interest, so she fully deserved to be considered the female lead.

On the set of the variety show, the host asked Director Hu why he cast a newbie like Yun Liuli as the female lead.

Director Hu smiled and replied, “The truth is… Yun Liuli originally followed her manager, Fang Yan, to the set to see how movies are filmed. When I saw Yun Liuli… my thoughts were the same as the netizens’. She fit the image of the princess I had in my mind. Initially… I hadn’t planned for the princess to appear on screen—after all, I imagined her to be an extremely beautiful lady. So, all the parts where Yun Liuli played the role of the princess were only filmed later on!”

Shocked, the host quickly asked Yun Liuli, “Is this true?”

Yun Liuli nodded earnestly.

The subject of the conversation naturally shifted to Yun Liuli. The host asked her, “Liuli, we know your first time appearing on screen was probably for the ‘Fake Aristocrat’ MV, where you collaborated with popular singer Lu Tianyu. What do you think is the difference between acting in an MV and acting in a movie?

“There isn’t much of a difference. I don’t have lines after all…”

The amused audience burst out into laughter. Yun Liuli was dumbfounded. She had meant what she said… why was everybody laughing?

“Do you know why Yun Liuli said that?” Director Hu asked. He smiled and pointed at Yun Liuli as he continued, “This girl has a photographic memory. After she’s read a script… she can recite it to you word-for-word. She’s a natural-born actress!”
