Chapter 45 - Chapter 45: A Tumultuous Heart

"Senior acted so wonderfully, it looks absolutely perfect on camera, so amazing!" Seeing Jiang Yuhan and Su Hao separate, Li Shuxin looked at her phone, her face full of admiration.

"Uh... it was alright." Jiang Yuhan forced a smile at Li Shuxin, then looked at Su Hao beside her: "Sorry, I turned the wrong way just now. But it would have been a shame to interrupt, so I just went with it."

"It's okay, Senior has already worked hard enough." Su Hao rubbed his sore neck, mumbling, "Anyway, I didn't lose anything."

Jiang Yuhan was too flustered to hear the latter half of Su Hao's sentence. She only saw him rubbing his neck with a pained expression, and she thought Su Hao was disgusted with her, causing her heart to instantly fall into chaos.

Oh no! His expression is so terrible, he must think I'm a pervert. Ah! Just let me die!

With this thought, Jiang Yuhan said blankly, "You worked hard too."

Just then, Li Shuxin ran over with her phone.

"Senior! Look, the shot just now was super perfect!"

"Ah, really!" Jiang Yuhan glanced at the phone and found that the filmed effect was indeed very good.

This brought a little comfort to her heart; at least her actions just now weren't entirely useless.

"Su... Su Hao, will you... will you come to dinner with us later? My treat." Seeing the video filmed by Li Shuxin, Jiang Yuhan felt even more grateful to Su Hao.

With this video, plus her excellent essay-writing skills, she could definitely get an A+ in this course!

"You two go ahead, I won't go, I have something else to do later." Su Hao said without looking up from his phone.

"Ah... okay... you're busy... you're busy." Being rejected by Su Hao for the first time, Jiang Yuhan's heart was filled with despair.

In her opinion, Su Hao must have thought her kiss just now was too perverted, which was why he didn't want to be with her anymore.

Is this what it feels like to be rejected? It's so painful, I want to die. Looking at Su Hao's face, Jiang Yuhan's eyes lost their sparkle.

"Su Hao, it's already past five in the afternoon. What do you have to do later? Do you have plans with a friend?" Noticing Jiang Yuhan's blank stare, Li Shuxin thoughtfully asked for her.

"Something like that. Lin Jiayu has been putting up posters recently, and she can't manage it alone, so I'm going to help her out," Su Hao said casually.

"Putting up posters?" Jiang Yuhan's eyes suddenly lit up: "Are you going to help Jiayu put up posters later?"

"Yes... yes, why?" Jiang Yuhan's sudden rise in tone startled Su Hao.

"Nothing, nothing, then hurry up and go, don't let Jiayu wait too long." Jiang Yuhan's lips curved upwards, her face full of smiles.

So he really did have something to do later, he wasn't just making up an excuse to avoid her.

"You sound like a wife urging her husband to go see his mistress." Looking at Jiang Yuhan, who was smiling with her eyes, Su Hao mumbled, and was about to leave when Li Shuxin suddenly grabbed him.

"Shuxin? Is something wrong?"

"I… I want to reshoot that kissing scene while you're free, is that okay?" Li Shuxin gazed at Su Hao with wide, watery eyes, full of anticipation.

"Why reshoot it? Didn't you two do a good job before?" Jiang Yuhan asked, puzzled.

"Because…" Li Shuxin looked at Jiang Yuhan, gathering her courage, and said, "Because Xuejie acted too well just now! I also want to truly kiss, like Xuejie, instead of faking it."

"Ah? This… isn't it unnecessary?" Jiang Yuhan's eyes darted around.

"It's very necessary!" Li Shuxin said firmly, "When I was filming just now, I felt it. You and Su Hao were like a real couple, and it made my heart flutter just watching you. In comparison, my method of faking it was too opportunistic, and the audience might be taken out of the moment."

"This… this… Su Hao, do you want to reshoot with Shuxin?" Seeing Li Shuxin's determination, Jiang Yuhan was at a loss.

"Since Shuxin wants to shoot it, of course I'm willing," Su Hao said with a light chuckle.

Who would refuse a beautiful woman who actively comes seeking a kiss?

"Really? That's great, thank you!" Seeing Su Hao agree, Li Shuxin looked at him gratefully.

"No need to thank me." Su Hao's lips curved upwards, once again realizing that the mindset of Korean Comics characters was indeed different.

"Then I'll be going now, Lin Jiayu might be getting impatient."

"Call me when you're free, and we can rehearse," Li Shuxin said happily.

"No problem." Su Hao waved his hand and left the auditorium.

"Xuejie, shall we go eat? I want to ask you how you filmed the kissing scene," Li Shuxin turned her head, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Jiang Yuhan.

"Okay, actually, it was just an accident," Jiang Yuhan scratched her head, a little embarrassed.

Meanwhile, in the club room, Lin Jiayu stood alone in a corner, looking at a stack of posters in front of her.

Why isn't he here yet? Didn't he say he'd help me put up posters every day? Did he forget?

"Jiayu, are you done with your posters? Do you need help?" A senior's voice came from afar.

"No, just a little left." Lin Jiayu sighed, put the posters into her bag, and got up to leave.

Perhaps I'm asking too much? He's the lead actor in the play, he must be very busy, so it's only natural that he can't spare time for me.

But why do I feel sad? Is it because he didn't come? That's too silly.

Isn't he just a small Su Hao? What is he? Is it just because of what happened yesterday that he's become special in my heart?

Stupid Su Hao, you'd better never come!

Lin Jiayu walked past the busy seniors, feeling a loneliness she had never experienced before.

She wandered through the campus alone, putting up posters that were originally meant for two people.

Perhaps because her heart was in turmoil, the wind today was exceptionally noisy, making the posters flutter constantly.

"Damn, this cursed wind!" Lin Jiayu stood on her tiptoes, struggling to put up a poster, when she accidentally let go, and the poster flew into the embrace of the wind, drifting to an unknown distance.

Truly, so annoying.

Lin Jiayu looked up, staring blankly at the poster dancing in the wind.

The sudden strong wind made her annoyed; Su Hao not coming made her annoyed; constantly thinking about Su Hao made her annoyed.

I'm so sad because he didn't come, I'm like a lunatic.

Lin Jiayu rubbed her forehead, suddenly feeling weak all over, as if she wanted to lie down and sleep.

"Hey! Lin Jiayu, didn't you say you'd wait for me at the club yesterday?" Just as Lin Jiayu was feeling emotional, Su Hao suddenly ran over from a distance.

The noisy wind slowly subsided, and the poster in the sky slowly fell, landing perfectly on Su Hao's face.

"Wh-… what the hell!" Su Hao only felt his vision go black, his left foot tripped over his right, and his body involuntarily leaned forward.

Just as he thought his face was about to make intimate contact with the ground, a pair of soft arms suddenly reached out and supported his waist.

"Are you okay? You're so slow," Lin Jiayu gently said, removing the poster from Su Hao's face.

"I'm fine, this cursed poster… Mm…" No sooner had Su Hao finished speaking than Lin Jiayu suddenly kissed him.
