Chapter 757: Waiting online, urgent! Chapter 757: Waiting online, urgent! “Are you Tang Shu?”
The woman’s voice was silky soft and lodious, laced with a hint of seduction that made one’s heart quiver uncontrollably.
Tang Shu lifted her head to look at the speaker and t a stunning, alluring face. The exquisite figure was showcased to perfection by the curves of a cheongsam, complented by the woman’s fiery red lips.
The woman appeared to be in her thirties, with fine crow’s feet at the corners of her eyes adding a depth reflecting years gone by. Far from making her seem aged, these marks of ti emitted a thrilling allure.
This was a person with a story.
“I am Tang Shu.”
The other woman chuckled lightly, an expression of amusent in her gaze as she looked Tang Shu over for a long while, then tilted her chin towards the interior with a gesture.
“Could you move over there?”
Tang Shu was seated at the very first seat on the right side of the audience area, right next to the aisle. As the only audience mber on location, she hadn’t expected that she’d need to give up her seat to soone else.
She pulled a wry smile, silently shuffling to the next seat. The latter unapologetically sat down, crossing her left leg over her right and revealing a section of her pale thigh.
“My na is Tong Tong, the youngsters all call Sister Tong.”
The youngsters….
Tang Shu looked towards the stage and noticed several younger actors among the cast, getting a sense of the situation. However, it intrigued her that soone of her age would refer to those younger as “youngsters”.
Won are most sensitive about their age, especially when the woman in question is an actress.
Tang Shu glanced at her again and said, “Sister Tong.”
“You look even prettier than you do on screen; no wonder Xiao Huan keeps going on and on about you.”
Tong Tong tilted her head and took in Tang Shu once more, her eyes revealing an almost uncontainable astonishnt.
“Is that a complint?”
“If you think it is.”
“Then, thank you for the complint, Sister Tong.”
“…”
Tong Tong paused before she laughed.
She found that this newcor in the industry had not only a beautiful face but also an amusing personality, at least speaking in a way that pleased her.
Tsk tsk, no wonder Teacher Ke likes her. Just look at that unperturbed tone and the composed deanor, so much better than many in the industry.
“I heard you’ve co to visit Teacher Ke?”
“Sort of.”
“Sort of? What do you an by that?”
“It’s been a while, so a visit seed appropriate. Also, Teacher Ke previously recomnded a stage role to , so I ca today for that matter as well.”
Tang Shu was multitasking, responding to Tong Tong’s questions while listening to the dialogue on stage. Her attention, however, was focused on a young girl wearing a school uniform with a ponytail.
Yes, that student from the early Republic era was precisely the role Teacher Ke intended for her to try out.
Tong Tong was taken aback once more, turning her scrutinizing gaze back on Tang Shu. Seeing the sincerity in Tang Shu’s eyes, she was even more astonished. It seed today she had experienced quite a few surprises, all brought on by this young woman before her.
An actress with thirty-five million fans and looks that could rival any top actress of today, playing a role in a stage drama?
This had to be a joke!
Being able to reach the position Tang Shu has achieved today was already a stroke of great luck, even surpassing many classically trained female stars. How could soone like her consider performing in a demanding, thankless stage play?
There’s simply no need.
Could it be… she’s using this thod to get close to Teacher Ke, planning to foster a good relationship subtly and patiently in the hope of landing better resources?
Hey hey~~ this young lady has so tricks up her sleeve, seems like she’s really not the sa as those freshly graduated girls.
Feeling like she had overthought the situation, Tong Tong convinced herself that she had figured out the truth. She diverted her gaze and silently warned herself that this little star was no simpleton, losing any desire to continue the conversation.
“Really? Then I’m looking forward to it. Keep it up, maybe we can collaborate in the future.”
Tang Shu detected a polite undertone in her words, “When the ti cos, I’ll be counting on Sister Tong for your valuable advice.”
“Ah, who knows? Maybe it’ll be who learns from you. I’ve seen your performance as the Crown Princess Consort; it was quite good.”
“Thank you for the complint.”
“Well, then enjoy the rest. I have a performance soon, so I won’t keep you company.”
“Goodbye.”
Tang Shu watched as the flower-like figure swayed and disappeared behind the side curtains, and it didn’t take long to realize that the stage play was nearing its end.
***
The plot of “Corridor Pavilion” was already halfway through, and Tang Shu’s character, Lu Xiangtong, was transitioning from a noble lady to the Crown Princess Consort, approaching the final curtain.
During this ti, Tang Shu had acquired a fair number of TV series fans online; these fans affectionately ca up with a na for themselves, calling themselves “Toffee,” and didn’t forget to curse the Crown Prince as a big moron on the bullet comnts every episode to vent their frustration.
It could be said that the character of the Crown Princess Consort had been brought to life by Tang Shu, portraying the noblewoman under feudal thinking so vividly that many female fans felt it resonated closely with reality. They also greatly disliked the Crown Prince and his true love, which left the actor playing the Crown Prince speechless for a while.
“This Crown Prince is such a moron, arrrgh it’s killing !”
In the dormitory, Cheng Ranran, who was once again sared with blood by the male lead, let out a long sigh to the sky. She couldn’t help but pound her plump little fists into the pillow in her arms, only for it to be snatched away by the person opposite her the next mont.
Tang Shu placed the Big Horse Monkey on her lap, the words “Welco” echoing incessantly in her ears.
“I’m saying, you’re doing quite well, already yelling in front of your phone for an hour.”
More importantly, the batteries she had newly replaced in the Big Horse Monkey were about to run out; the voice was even becoming shrill!
“You’re mistreating the monkey, you know that?”
Cheng Ranran was indignant, lunging toward the Big Horse Monkey with bared teeth and claw-like hands, “Who am I doing all this for? Xiao Shushu, you’ve stopped loving and fallen for that scumbag. He’s both fickle and chauvinistic. What’s there to like? Wailing~~~”
Tang Shu: “….”
What to do when your roommate gets too into character? Waiting online, urgent!
Ye Xiaohui from the upper bunk finally couldn’t stand it anymore and took off her headphones, “Don’t mind her, let her keep howling. It’ll be fine when ‘You Smile 2’ airs next week.”
“That’s right, ‘You Smile 2’ that I’ve been longing for is finally premiering! Xiao Shushu, give so spoilers, will you?”
“No spoilers, get back to your studies.”
Tang Shu pushed away the plump body clinging to her and put her back in her original chair.
“Heard you didn’t get an A for your sumr internship? Watch out, or the counselor might want to have a chat with you.”
“Don’t bring up the sumr internship, it’s bad luck. I had to deal with so awful patient’s family mbers!”
With a pout, Cheng Ranran looked utterly dejected, “Sigh, with my temperant, do you think I’m not quite suited to be a doctor? I just can’t stand it when people refuse to pay for their hospital bills. I feel like taking a mop and giving them a good thrashing.”
