Chapter 172.2
Editor: Jodi
The hostess cleared her throat, then said to regain control, “So you two weren’t in the same club.”
“If we were in the same club, would I still need to ask his classmates about him?” Cheng Yu said.
“It seems Teacher Cheng also paid a lot of attention to Teacher Lin back then.”
“I always paid attention to him.”
Lin An Lan couldn’t help but smile and lower his head.
The hostess nodded, understanding now. Not only do you pay attention to him, you also have a sweet mouth that’s very good at saying sweet words.
“Did Teacher Lin pay attention to Teacher Cheng back then?”
Lin An Lan’s smile faded immediately. He shook his head, “I was busy studying back then. When I was in school, I wasn’t really keen on making friends or dating. Most of the time, I just went to class, then to the library, or watched movies and played games in the dormitory. But I didn’t actively try to make friends with anyone.”
Lin An Lan chuckled, “I’m not as good in social situations as he is. I can be quite closed off sometimes.”
“That’s because your inner world is rich.” Cheng Yu spoke up for him, “You don’t need to rely on external people or things to fill yourself up or feel satisfied. You can live well by yourself, and besides, you had family and friends, so you didn’t need to forcefully expand your social circle.”
“I think your personality is great, both socially and in other aspects. You’re fine by yourself and don’t bother others. That’s so nice, and I really like it.”
Lin An Lan didn’t expect that even after he spoke the truth, Cheng Yu would still refute it with such confidence, causing him to burst into laughter on the spot, “Alright, if you think it’s good, then it’s good.”
He was actually very clear about the advantages and disadvantages of his personality. He also understood that he didn’t do some things very well. But Cheng Yu’s perspective was like rose-tinted glasses. Whether it was right or wrong, good or bad, in his eyes, everything became acceptable and appropriate.
Lin An Lan felt fortunate to have met Cheng Yu at this point in his life. If he had met him when he was younger, then according to Cheng Yu’s mindset, he probably wouldn’t have been able to make mistakes—because in Cheng Yu’s eyes, he could never be wrong.
If he did make a mistake, Cheng Yu would definitely wear his filter and not only not blame him, he would probably also reassure him that everything was okay and that he shouldn’t worry.
The hostess watched as they bickered affectionately, feeling somewhat like a third wheel.
Her head definitely had to be shining brightly right now, she thought to herself, shining like a light bulb, and not just any bulb, probably one with a very high wattage.
The hostess cleared her throat, quickly regaining control. “Then Teacher Cheng, when did you realize you liked Teacher Lin? Who liked who first between you two?”
“I liked him first.” Cheng Yu said, “As for when, it’s hard to say. Slowly, I found myself always paying attention to him, then later on, I realized I must like him.”
“Many netizens speculate that it was during the filming of ‘Yun Yun,’ is that correct?”
“I did have some feelings for him during that time.” Cheng Yu said, “But the initial liking didn’t start then; it was even earlier. I didn’t start liking him after filming ‘Yun Yun,’ but rather, I already had a vague feeling for him, so I chose to act in ‘Yun Yun.'”
The hostess was surprised, “So you already had feelings before you acted in ‘Yun Yun,’ you just weren’t sure?”
“Anyway, when I was filming that movie , I only had one thought- and that was, that it would be best if I could act with him.”
“Teacher Lin, did you know about this?” The hostess asked excitedly. “Did you know that Teacher Cheng only wanted to act with you in that movie?”
Lin An Lan nodded, “I had a rough idea.”
The hostess leaned forward involuntarily, “And then, you agreed.”
“Actually, I didn’t want to act in the beginning.” Lin An Lan admitted, “I said it at the awards ceremony too. At first, I thought the script was good, and the role was good too, but I didn’t think it suited me, so I wasn’t very eager to play it. It was him who kept persuading me, and eventually, I agreed and went for the audition. So I’m very grateful to him. Without his persistence, I wouldn’t have had such a successful representative work, let alone win an award.”
“Thank you, Teacher Cheng.” Lin An Lan turned to Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu quickly said, “Not at all, I should thank Teacher Lin for fulfilling my wish. Thank you, Teacher Lin.”
“Then it’s better if we thank Director Zhang. Thank you, Director Zhang, for choosing us.”
“Yes.” Cheng Yu thought of Director Zhang, and then of the WeChat message he sent on New Year’s Day. “Director Zhang is truly the best and kindest director I’ve ever met. His Best Director award is well deserved. I’ll always support Director Zhang’s works no matter when.”
“I think so too.” Lin An Lan chimed in.
The hostess who was sitting opposite them felt utterly redundant for the ten thousandth time. Her interview was basically her just trying to wedge herself between the couple’s harmonious conversation. “So, Teacher Cheng, when you persuaded Teacher Lin to act, did you have your own agenda?”
“Who doesn’t have a little selfishness?” Cheng Yu chuckled. “He’s my biggest selfishness. But I knew he could really act, and he really fit the role of Gu Shuyu. They were top students with handsome appearances and are very likable, so it was also based on the character.”
“Can I ask a question that I heard before, but wasn’t sure about?”
“Go ahead.” Cheng Yu told her.
“I saw netizens saying that at the beginning, Director Zhang actually intended for you to play Gu Shuyu, but you voluntarily gave up that role to Teacher Lin and chose Jing Huan for yourself. Is that true?”
Cheng Yu laughed, “When it comes to roles, it’s not about giving up, but rather suitability. I know myself very well. I’m not suitable for Gu Shuyu. Director Zhang just thought I had the appearance and potential to play Gu Shuyu, but I was very clear that he was more suitable for the role. I was more suited for Jing Huan, so I auditioned for Jing Huan from the beginning. I never auditioned for Gu Shuyu, nor did I want to play Gu Shuyu. And as everyone has seen, he’s the best Gu Shuyu, and I’m indeed more suited for Jing Huan. It’s good this way. Actors mainly serve the roles, finding the right role and positioning for themselves is the most important thing. So it’s not about giving up, it’s just that we both know each other quite well.”
He said it in an official yet modest manner, earning even more favor from the hostess who thought he was truly dedicated and sensible.
Lin An Lan listened to him talk confidently, with a smile on his face.
The hostess turned her head, saw the tenderness in his eyes, then immediately felt sorry for she who was a single person!
Why did she, a single person, come to interview these two people in the honeymoon period of their relationship!
