Chapter 173 Audition

Yan Kui looked up and saw a girl with bangs and black hair walking in, dressed in casual clothes.

"Start choosing your audition scene."

This novel tells the story of a female protagonist who is reborn back to her childhood and redeems a boy who once lived in a rented room in her backyard.

When the boy was a child, his arm was scalded by boiling water because his mother was careless.

After being burned, the boy was in so much pain that he pressed his arm tightly against his chest. Since no one was home, he was not taken to the hospital immediately, which caused his arm and chest to stick together.

The boy's family was very poor and they couldn't afford the surgery. From then on, he couldn't raise or lower his right hand; he could only move the upper part of his wrist.

This caused the boy to be called disabled from a young age.

The female lead has a soft and cute personality and a sweet appearance. After being reborn, she redeems the boy.

To Yan Kui's surprise, Shi Ruoxia chose a very ordinary plot.

The novel is set around the early 2000s, when the female protagonist was 11 years old and the male protagonist was 13 years old.

The staff member standing next to her acted as the male lead, standing behind Shi Ruoxia.

Shi Ruoxia was seen holding a prop mop and rinsing it under the tap.

Suddenly, the staff member picked up the mop from her hand, with the male lead's line written in the background: "I'll wash it for you."

Shi Ruoxia's hand remained in the same position as when she was holding the mop, and she paused slightly in mid-air before looking up at the staff member washing the mop.

A moment of silence.

Shi Ruoxia slowly put her hand back to her side, a look of heartache appearing on her pure yet stubborn face as she looked at the male lead's right hand, which was still stuck to his chest.

"Yu Nan, do you come to wash the mop at this time every day?"

Male lead's line: Hmm.

Shi Ruoxia stared blankly as Yu Nan washed the mop with one hand, then quietly observed his calm and serious expression.

It's as if washing the mop is something very important.

The male protagonist washed the mop and handed it to Shi Ruoxia, then washed the mop he had brought with him.

Shi Ruoxia said softly, "Yu Nan, this is the first time my mop has been washed so clean. My mom will definitely praise me when we get back."

The male protagonist did not speak.

"Yu Nan, can you teach me?"

"Tips for washing mops."

"I know that the most powerful person in the backyard is you."

Shi Ruoxia looked extremely serious as she approached Yu Nanshi, deliberately avoiding his right side, which he didn't want to be seen.

Her voice was clear and crisp, with a hint of gentleness and a quiet determination that was not easily noticed.

“Yu Nan, I saw it. It’s the candy you left in front of my window last time.”

"I ate it, and it tastes like my favorite milk flavor."

In exchange, I left a box of peach gummies by your window. I wonder if you'll like them.

"After you've eaten it, tell me how it tastes tomorrow, okay?"

Shi Ruoxia was dressed casually, but her expression was so lively that she seemed like a tree spirit wandering through the forest, making it impossible to look away.

Yan Kui was somewhat stunned.

"Card!"

"Not bad, not bad, Shi Ruoxia, go back and wait for our notification."

Yan Kui's heart was pounding, and she was the first to applaud.

This was exactly the same as the female protagonist she had imagined in her mind when reading novels.

Fragile yet resolute, timid yet gentle.

Shi Ruoxia bowed politely to thank the staff next to her, and after hearing the sound, she looked at Yan Kui and gave her a sweet smile.

After the audition, Yan Kui went directly to Duke University.

He placed Shi Ruoxia's resume on the table and said, "She's very suitable."

Duke was in a bit of a dilemma. He had met Ruoxia a few times, but she had never had any works or popularity. She had only played minor roles before.

Seeing Duke sighing, Yan Kui asked, "Didn't the production team say she was good? Why is it that she's not good enough for you?"

“I’m currently in contact with a popular celebrity. We have plenty of funds, so I think she’ll be able to come.”

Yan Kui learned the name of this popular celebrity from him, opened a webpage and searched for it. Wow, half of the results were positive and half negative, so it was indeed a hot topic.
