However, no matter how much the fans stirred up trouble, Shi Xi had already partic.i.p.ated in the audition. It was an undeniable fact.

When Shi Xi entered the interview room, she saw a row of people standing there. They went up one by one to draw the audition footage and show it.

Seeing that a gla.s.s lamp on the stage had shattered, Shi Xi asked curiously, “Why didn’t you clean up over there?”

What if someone was stabbed by the gla.s.s?

The staff member said, “That’s the light that was broken by the people from the previous group. The cleaning auntie will come over and clean it up later.” Shi Xi thought, ‘There’s a lighting segment for the audition?’

Forget it, forget it.

Shi Xi told the staff about the role she was auditioning for and casually took out a piece of paper.

[Lin Mengxi bought a skirt.]

Shi Xi quickly recalled this scene.

The second female lead, Lin Mengxi, was originally from a rich family.

However, she had a sudden change and even her house was taken away by the bank.

However, when Lin Mengxi went to the mall, she still wanted to buy a 3K dress. She had never thought that this was her mother’s hard-earned money for a month.

Just as Shi Xi was recalling her lines and trying to figure out the character, someone in front of her started the audition.

It was also Lin Mengxi’s character.

The woman was dressed beautifully and said willfully, “1 want this dress! It’s only 3,000 yuan! You’ll earn it back very quickly.”

The director who came for the interview saw that she had finished her performance and did not say anything. He urged the next person.

They were still interviewing Lin Mengxi.

Her performance was cute and innocent. She pestered her mother to buy a dress that cost 3,000 yuan.

The director was expressionless. “Next.”

Shi Xi counted in her heart. Half of the actors in this round were here to audition for the role of Lin Mengxi.

The compet.i.tion was really fierce.

Pressure was impossible to have.

It was Shi Xi’s turn. After a simple self-introduction, she began to get into character.

The few people behind the interview table also sat up slightly.

They wanted to see how Shi Xi would act.

The girl’s eyes were bright and clear. With just one glance, one could see that she was pure and innocent. She was different from those who were used to seeing the world of mortals. She was as clear as water.

After putting on the dress she liked, the girl nodded in satisfaction and said calmly, “This dress is fine.”

It was as natural as drinking water.

“This dress costs 3,000 yuan!”

The girl’s eyes were filled with confusion over the amount. “3,000 yuan. You’ll earn it back very quickly.”

In her worldview, she could have anything she wanted.

She was pure and innocent, without a trace of pretentiousness.

After the performance ended, the director nodded in satisfaction. “Let’s try another one. Drinking in a private room.”

The other people who were auditioning cast envious looks at her.

To be able to have an additional test was already more impressive than many people.

When the girl entered the private room and saw so many people, she felt a little uneasy.

She had always been an obedient girl, but she had never seen such a scene.

She carefully walked in. Her eyes were pure and flawless, like a deer that had fallen into a pack of wolves.

Soon, a wolf took a fancy to her.

“Miss, what would you like to drink?”

The girl’s big blinking eyes looked up, and it was as if a pool of clear water had suddenly fallen into their hearts.

It was a beauty that made people want to protect.

Coming out of the interview room, Shi Xi was about to go back when she heard faint cries coming from the stairwell.

Did she hear wrongly?

Shi Xi took a few steps toward the stairwell, and it was indeed crying.

After hesitating for a moment, Shi Xi carefully pushed open the door to the stairwell and saw someone sitting on the stairs, sobbing.

Shi Xi walked in and asked, “Why are you crying?”

Suspended dress was crying when her spell was interrupted. She sobbed and looked up. “I-I messed up the audition. 1-1 messed it up. Sob, sob.”

“If you think that your acting is a mess, maybe the director thinks that your acting is natural!” Shi Xi comforted her.

“But 1,1 broke the light for the audition.” At this point, suspended dress opened her mouth and started crying again.

Shi Xi was speechless.

So she was the one who broke the gla.s.s lamps that she saw when she went in.

Shi Xi handed her a tissue. “It’s okay. There are so many production teams. Let’s go to the next place for the audition.”

“There’s definitely no director willing to hire me!” Tears and snot flowed down her face.

“Cheer up. You broke the lamp and left an impression on the director. There are so many actors and actresses. The director must have the deepest impression of you.”

“But, but this is a bad impression.” Suspended dress pouted and wanted to continue crying.

Shi Xi continued to spout nonsense. “That’s still better than having no impression at all! Think about it. The next time the director looks for a destructive actor, maybe will he immediately think of you?”

Suspended dress was caught by Shi Xi’s logic.

This logic seemed to be self-consistent?

Seeing that she had stopped crying, Shi Xi handed her a pack of tissues and said, “Alright, cheer up and stop crying.”

Suspended dress moved, and she pouted, about to cry again.

“What are you crying about?”

“My legs are numb.”

Shi Xi:”…”

After coming out of the audition building, Shi Xi wanted to go back to the villa to rest.

Acting was very exhausting for her.

Every time she walked out of the movie, it was as if she was alive again.

Especially when she received a new role, she had to spend more effort to figure it out.

It seemed like it was settled. She would go back and study this drama again.

When they returned to the villa, Shi Xi opened the door and entered. She could smell the fragrance of food.

She thought that the auntie was cooking.

However, when she saw Xie Yunzhou standing in the kitchen in a pink checkered ap.r.o.n, Shi Xi wanted to laugh.

It was too homely.

He was like a little coquettish husband waiting at home for his strong woman wife to come back.

“What are you doing?” Shi Xi looked over.

“Stir-fried beef tenderloin with scallions,” said Xie Yunzhou.

Shi Xi looked at the pot and was silent for a moment before saying, “What’s that black thing?”

Xie Yunzhou used his chopsticks to pick out an unimown black object and said, “It isn’t affected.”

Shi Xi: ?!

Did he really know how to cook?

If he could even fry a soft-boiled egg well, it wouldn’t be to the extent that he couldn’t make a stir-fried beef with onions, right?

“Go take a shower first. You can eat after you’re done.”

“I’ll eat first. Do you need my help?” Shi Xi asked.

“No need. Just wait and eat.”

Shi Xi opened the fridge and took out a box of strawberry pudding. She watched Xie Yunzhou cook from the side.

It was obvious that Xie Yunzhou knew how to cook.

However, his cooking skills were not that superb.

Just as Shi Xi was observing, Xie Yunzhou’s phone on the table vibrated.

Shi Xi followed the sound and took a glance.

Caller: Father.

“Your dad is calling,” Shi Xi reminded.

Xie Yunzhou, who was adding salt, suddenly felt his hands tremble.

“Ignore it.”

He let his phone vibrate.

After a while, the vibration stopped.

Then, a few WeChat messages popped up.

Shi Xi averted her gaze and did not look at Xie Yunzhou’s privacy.

She recalled that Xie Yunzhou did not return home during the New Year.

He didn’t have a good relationship with his family.

Shi Xi rarely got together with Xie Yunzhou and rarely mentioned Xie Yunzhou’s parents.

The Xie family had a complicated relationship. If Xie Yunzhou did not say anything, Shi Xi would not take the initiative to ask.

“Time to eat.” Xie Yunzhou scooped out the dishes..
