Director of Photography Department of Huayu

Chapter 148 Are you guys dating?

On the campus of Beijing Film Academy, the cold wind of early winter blows through the treetops with a slight chill, the fallen leaves swirl gently on the ground, and the sunlight shines through the branches, casting mottled light and shadows, reflecting the teachers and students walking leisurely on the campus.

As Wu Chen walked along, many people noticed his figure and talked in groups of three or four about this "celebrity" who had returned to campus.

Near noon, Wu Chen's cell phone vibrated. He took it out and saw that it was a text message from Zhang Jiqing.

Wu Chen looked at the words on the screen and couldn't help but smile. Then he turned around and walked straight towards the training room.

The practice room was filled with warmth.

Liu Yifei was standing in the middle, and Liu Tianchi was sitting beside her, watching her every move carefully.

"Try it again, the look you just made wasn't natural enough.

Remember, you're feeling both joyful and nervous at the same time, and this conflict should be reflected in your eyes and in the details. Relax your shoulders a little and brighten your eyes a little."

Liu Tianchi spoke in a gentle but serious tone.

Liu Yifei took a deep breath, closed her eyes for a moment, and when she opened them again, her beautiful eyes were already flashing with clarity and liveliness. The corners of her lips were slightly raised, and a faint blush appeared on her cheeks. The emotions in her eyes were rich and real, as if she had brought the entire character to life in an instant.

Liu Tianchi nodded slightly, with a satisfied smile on his face:
"Not bad. After so many performances, this one is really good." Then he glanced at the clock on the wall. "Let's stop here for today. It's time for lunch!"

Just as I was about to get up and rest, the door of the practice room was suddenly pushed open.

Liu Yifei looked in the direction of the voice, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she shouted in surprise, "Junior Brother!"

At this moment, Liu Yifei was wearing a light-colored plush coat and a simple pair of jeans, which made her legs look long and slender. She was wearing a pair of snow boots on her feet, which made her look particularly warm and cute.

Her soft long black hair was casually tied into a playful ponytail, which swayed gently with her brisk movements, bringing out bursts of youthful energy.

Wu Chen nodded slightly towards Liu Tianchi: "Teacher Liu, how are you doing lately?"

"The results are quite good. Yifei is making rapid progress and is very hardworking." Liu Tianchi praised sincerely. After a pause, he asked with a smile, "By the way, Director Wu, isn't there another little girl? When will she come over?"

"I'll report in after New Year's Day." Wu Chen nodded slightly.

Liu Tianchi nodded, then packed up the materials at hand, turned around and walked out of the training room.

Seeing Liu Tianchi leave, Wu Chen looked at Liu Yifei, his lips curled up slightly: "Let's go, Senior Sister, do you want to have dinner together?"

"Okay!" Liu Yifei immediately responded happily.

"Where are we going to eat? What are we going to eat?"

Wu Chen naturally raised the difficult question of the century.

"Why think so much? Just go back to school and eat. The cafeteria has everything!"

Liu Yifei stuck out her tongue coquettishly and walked briskly ahead. Her ponytail swayed gently with her steps, as light and agile as the branches on the treetops in the early morning.

The two strolled back to campus.

The cafeteria was crowded, and Wu Chen and Liu Yifei found a seat by the window.

Liu Yifei was obviously in a good mood. She chattered non-stop and chuckled from time to time.

Many people around cast their eyes over. Liu Yifei and Wu Chen were obviously too conspicuous on campus, so everyone was naturally curious and envious.

Yang Mi, Yuan Shanshan, Zhang Xiaofei, and Jiao Junyan walked into the cafeteria together. For a moment, Zhang Xiaofei couldn't help but feel a little strange.

Because in the past, when they came in together, they would attract a lot of people's attention. On the one hand, Yang Mi was already a little famous, and on the other hand, both Yang Mi and Yuan Shanshan were outstanding in appearance in the new acting department, so they naturally attracted a lot of attention.

However, Zhang Xiaofei glanced at Yang Mi, Yuan Shanshan, and the others, then followed his gaze to see Wu Chen and Liu Yifei not far away. He subconsciously asked, "Is that Senior Sister Liu Yifei and Senior Brother Wu Chen?"

Yang Mi nodded with a complicated expression.

"It's great to have a big director as a friend." Yuan Shanshan said with sincere envy.

Guan Yue, who had been assigned to teach at the school, was carrying a stainless steel tray, searching for an empty seat. Following everyone's gaze, she caught sight of Wu Chen and Liu Yifei chatting and laughing, and her expression suddenly became strained.

"It's over. Xuan'er is probably completely hopeless now." Guan Yue secretly sighed in her heart, feeling a little sorry for her good friend Dong Xuan.

She knew exactly what Dong Xuan felt for Wu Chen.

Unfortunately, Wu Chen has been busy in Hollywood for the past six months, and Dong Xuan hasn't even had a chance to meet him, let alone any progress in their relationship.

Guan Yue hesitated for a moment, but finally put down her plate, walked over, and greeted them with a smile:

"Junior brother, long time no see!"

Liu Yifei heard the voice, looked up, her beautiful eyes curved into crescents, and she called out sweetly, "Senior Sister Guan Yue!"

Wu Chen was also quite surprised and said with a smile, "Senior Sister, what a coincidence. How about we sit down and eat together?"

"No need. I just came over to say hello. It feels like I haven't seen you in a while." Guan Yue chuckled and asked, "How's Hollywood going? Is everything going well?"

"Very good." Wu Chen replied with a smile.

A teasing smile suddenly flashed in Guan Yue's eyes. She looked between the two of them and said jokingly in an ambiguous tone:

"Are you two dating?"

Liu Yifei's ears suddenly turned red, and even the fine hairs on the back of her neck seemed to tremble slightly. Her delicate face instantly turned a faint blush. She hurriedly waved her hands and shyly denied it.
"Senior Sister, it's... um, not really!"

Guan Yue's lips curled up slightly, and she became more certain of her guess in her heart. She said no more, nodded to Wu Chen, and left with a smile.

Liu Yifei took the spoon and gently inserted it into the food. She looked at Guan Yue's back, as if wanting to change the subject: "Senior Sister Guan Yue has a good personality."

"Her?" Wu Chen's expression was odd, and he nodded slowly. "She has a good personality, so maybe that's it."

Wu Chen wanted to say "big mouth", but after thinking about it, he didn't say it.

After lunch, the sun shone obliquely in front of the cafeteria, casting a warm glow on the ground.

Liu Yifei stood on the stairs, smiled slightly, patted her clothes, turned around and said softly, "I'm going back to continue my training."

The plush coat she was wearing shone softly in the sunlight, and her ponytail swung gently, like an inky black ribbon blown by the wind.

"Let's skip class today." Wu Chen suggested lazily, with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

Liu Yifei blinked when she heard this, and was obviously a little moved, but she still shook her head: "No, Teacher Zhang is still waiting for me, don't try to seduce me."

"Hmm? But Teacher Zhang said you've been working too hard lately, so he'll give you half a day off. Are you sure you don't want it?" Wu Chen said as he took out his cell phone, opened a text message, and waved it in front of her eyes.

Liu Yifei's eyes suddenly lit up. She quickly took the phone and looked at it. After confirming, she looked up and smiled.

At that moment, her whole face seemed to be lit up by the sun, a faint blush appeared on her fair cheeks, surprise and joy filled her curved almond eyes, her ponytail swayed gently, and her eyes were filled with unconcealable joy. Even the air seemed to be a little sweeter.

"So what are we going to do this afternoon?" She asked cheerfully with a hint of happiness in her eyes.

"How about we go see a movie? I haven't been to the cinema to see a new movie in a long time." She added in a low voice, looking at Wu Chen with a little anticipation and a little uncertainty.

"Hmm? Not really." Wu Chen raised an eyebrow. "Didn't you say Shu Chang was free recently?"

"Her schedule doesn't match mine." Liu Yifei waved her hand immediately, but a scene from a few days ago quietly emerged in her mind.

On the sofa at home, Shu Chang crossed her legs and shook her arms with a look of dissatisfaction: "Xixi, let's go to the movies. There are several new movies coming out!"

She touched her lips lightly and replied nonchalantly, "Wait a little longer, until I have time."

"Huh? We can go in the evening, maybe a little later?" Shu Chang asked in confusion.

"Hmm? Then let me think about which one to watch!"
