Chapter 1234 Ask yourself if you're not losing yourself
Su Xing was still holding chopsticks and couldn't type, so he sent a voice message instead.
Can't I stay asleep? "What is it? Tell me."
Ye Xitang replied with a voice message, "Um... I'm currently filming in Hengdian, and we need a dog actor for this drama. Do you think we could borrow your dog to film a few scenes?"
Zhang Xueyan and Huang Wenwen both recognized the voice as Ye Xitang's.
They all looked up at Su Xing, their eyes filled with interest and curiosity.
Su Xing was taken aback when he heard Ye Xitang's request.
She then replied, "Borrowing it to film a movie? But it can't act, can it? Didn't your production team hire a professional dog actor before filming started?"
Ye Xitang's voice came through again quickly, "It's confirmed, but that dog celebrity was hospitalized with a cold a while ago, so his schedule was postponed. He's now in another production team, but our drama is in a rush to meet deadlines, so I remembered your dog Bu Diu. Bu Diu is so smart, I believe it can definitely do it!"
Ye Xitang's next voice message followed immediately: "It won't be borrowed for too long. We'll try to finish filming its scenes before the New Year, and we can discuss the pay and other details."
Su Xing asked, "Are you just acting in this drama?"
Ye Xitang said, "Besides acting, I also participated in the investment."
Su Xing realized that Ye Xitang had brought her own investment to the production team.
No wonder she's so worried.
However, she still didn't immediately agree to Ye Xitang's request. "This... let me go back and discuss it with your brother, and then I'll give you an answer."
She was a little worried that if she didn't go to Hengdian, she wouldn't be able to adapt to the environment there or the pace of filming.
Dogs aren't people, after all. No matter how smart they are, there's no guarantee they'll all survive. It's uncertain whether we can finish filming before the New Year.
Moreover, what if it gets too stressed and becomes anxious or depressed because it's surrounded by strangers?
Even if she has a good relationship with Ye Xitang, she still needs to think carefully before making a decision so as not to lose her.
Ye Xitang didn't keep begging Su Xing. She said, "Okay, sister-in-law, you and my brother can think about it. If you can get him to come over, I'll have someone book plane tickets right away. If he can't come over, that's okay too. We'll ask if there are any other suitable dog actors."
Su Xing said, "Okay, I'll talk to your brother about it when I get back later. I'll let you know whether it's okay or not."
Ye Xitang: "Okay, okay!"
The two temporarily ended their chat.
Seeing that Su Xing had hung up the phone, Zhang Xueyan asked, "Don't you want to get rid of it?"
Su Xing said, "It's not that I don't want it to go, it's just that it has never acted before. Even if it's smart, it might not be as cooperative as a professional dog actor. Besides, I'm worried that it might not be able to adapt to going to a strange place alone and meeting so many unfamiliar people."
Zhang Xueyan nodded, "You're right."
Huang Wenwen said, "Hey, Su Xing, you can come with Bu Diu. Anyway, you're on holiday now, so you have free time."
Su Xing's heart skipped a beat. After thinking for a moment, she said, "I'll think about it."
It's almost Chinese New Year, and she wanted to go home in the next few days. But if she couldn't take the lost child to Hengdian, her trip home would have to be postponed for a few more days.
After finishing dinner, the three of them went upstairs together to continue their work.
Not long after, He Xu came to the studio to see Su Xing.
Seeing this, Su Xing smiled and asked, "Didn't you go to your teacher's house today? Why are you back so early?"
"Okay." He Xu said, "After dinner, we'll chat with our teacher and his wife for a while and then we'll call it a day."
Today, he and a few of his classmates went to their mentor's house for a small gathering.
He Xu sat down opposite Su Xing, picked up a book, and planned to read it while waiting for his girlfriend.
Su Xing said, "Ye Xitang just contacted me, saying she wants to borrow Bu Diu to film a few scenes in Hengdian."
He Xu was taken aback, then looked up at his girlfriend, "You won't lose it if I borrow it?"
"Yes, she said that the dog celebrity they had arranged to join the crew couldn't join the crew for the time being, so she thought of not getting lost."
"Did you promise her?"
"Not yet. I said I'd discuss it with you and give her an answer later."
"So you don't want to throw it away?"
"I'd really like to not send it to help, but I'm afraid it won't adapt to the filming environment..."
Su Xing shared her concerns, and she also considered going with Bu Diu, but the time was a bit tight.
He Xu said, "If you don't want Bu Diu to go through all that trouble, just refuse. It's okay. Ye Xitang won't hold a grudge against you over this. If you want Bu Diu to go, I also suggest you go with it."
He needs to complete his onboarding procedures in the next few days. Although he won't be very busy before the New Year, it's still inconvenient for him to leave Beijing.
If it's not taken away to film a movie, then Su Xing will have to take it to Hengdian all by himself.
Su Xing hesitated for a moment, then suddenly said, "How about we go home and ask if we're going to lose ourselves?"
He Xu laughed, "I think it's okay."
Su Xing slammed the laptop shut, stood up, and said, "Let's go home now and ask if it's lost!"
"Okay, let's go."
He Xu went to get his girlfriend's coat and draped it over her shoulders.
The two got dressed and left the office.
After saying goodbye to Zhang Xueyan and Huang Wenwen, Su Xing left the studio with He Xu.
When they returned to the apartment, both the stumbling block and the babbling buddy came over, circling around them and acting cute.
Su Xing stroked their heads one by one, finally fixing his gaze on Bu Diu.
Su Xing sat up on the sofa.
He Xu sat down next to his girlfriend.
Su Xing said to Bu Diu, "Bu Diu, you sit down too. Daddy and Mommy have something to ask you."
Bu Diu immediately sat up straight in front of the two men, his face full of seriousness, staring at his two owners, waiting for them to continue.
"Mommy, you asked if you want to act in a movie... um, like on TV, acting."
Without losing its way of thinking, the dog's eyes were full of confusion.
It has no concept of "filming" or "acting".
Su Xing added, "It's like... like when your mom and dad film you, there are other people pointing the camera at you, and lots of people playing with you."
Bu Diu straightened his head, his eyes lit up, and he showed some interest.
He Xu added, "I'm going with my mom."
It let out a loud "Woof!"
Su Xing and He Xu looked at each other.
"Is this... a sign of consent?"
"Seems to be……"
Su Xing extended his right hand and said, "Agreed."
She then extended her left hand and said, "I disagree."
Bu Diu raised one of its paws and placed it on Su Xing's right hand.
Su Xing thought for a moment and then switched the "agree" and "disagree" signs.
He then placed his hand on her left hand.
Su Xing smiled and said, "It seems that not throwing it away means you've agreed."
He Xu laughed, "I guess what it heard was that it wanted to go out and play with Mommy."
Don't lose it: "Woof—!"
It means Dad is right!
Su Xing and He Xu burst into laughter again.
The stumbling block, unwilling to be ignored, jumped onto the sofa, stepped on Su Xing and He Xu, and then jumped onto Bu Diu's big head.
He kept rolling his eyes, trying to see the stumbling block on his head.
"You're bullying me again..."
Su Xing poked the cheek of the stumbling block, then said, "I'll tell Ye Xitang right now that Bu Diu and I will go together."
