Inside the hotel, it was very quiet. Pingjie and Muwenxi's room seemed to have turned off the lights, while Wen Nanyin's room was still brightly lit. He carefully took out the complete script, which was quite thick and had many folded corners, as if it had been read many times before.
Although Wen Nanyin was playing a role with only a few lines, he read the script several times from beginning to end, and the pages were filled with marks of various colors.
Earlier on the plane, Sister Ping had seen his serious markings and asked in surprise, "Did you read the whole script?"
Wen Nanyin nodded: "Only by understanding the whole story so thoroughly can one truly appreciate the character I'm playing."
Sister Ping secretly affirmed in her heart: Not bad.
Wen Nanyin cherished this opportunity. He didn't know how many production teams Sister Ping had contacted and how much she had to talk herself hoarse to secure a role for a completely new artist like him. Even though he only had a few lines, he practiced and pondered them repeatedly to find the best way to portray the character.
On the day of filming, he got up at five o'clock, ate breakfast and rushed to the hotel where he was to get his makeup done. When he arrived at the hotel, even the makeup artist hadn't arrived yet.
He nodded and greeted every staff member, even if they didn't know him or ignored him. When it was his turn to get his makeup done, he would sit quietly to the side and wait for others to finish.
Sister Ping admires his unassuming and non-competitive personality but is also full of worries, because in the entertainment industry, such people are often devoured without leaving even bones.
However, Wen Nanyin did not seem to be indifferent to everything. He did not care about trivial matters. When an opportunity came his way, he would seize it firmly and not let anyone take it away. In the end, Wen Nanyin's scenes were completed smoothly. There were no retakes, and all the scenes were filmed in one day.
The director looked at the camera and was very satisfied with the boy who had been brought in at the last minute. It was a pleasant surprise. The boy was very hardworking, quick to learn, and very talented, but there was still a lot of room for improvement.
The director, appreciating Wen Nanyin's talent, said to him as he was about to leave, "I'll call on you again when I have the chance. Keep up the good work, young man, and I look forward to seeing your progress."
Wen Nanyin bowed and said, "Thank you, director."
He tidied himself up, put on his hat, and quietly returned to the hotel, feeling a little excited. This was a good start.
Mu Wenxi was playing a game on her phone in the hotel when she saw Wen Nanyin return. She jumped up from the sofa and ran to the door without even putting on her shoes: "How was it? How was it?"
Wen Nanyin took off his hat: "Guess?"
He walked to the sofa, bent down, picked up Mu Wenxi's slippers, went back, squatted down again, and slowly placed the slippers in front of Mu Wenxi: "Put on your shoes."
Mu Wenxi put on her slippers and looked Wen Nanyin's face from left to right. His expression seemed a little serious. Mu Wenxi asked cautiously, "Didn't you perform well?"
Wen Nanyin suddenly chuckled: "Not bad, the director said there's still room for improvement."
Mu Wenxi breathed a sigh of relief: "Then why were you pretending to be so serious? I thought you had been scolded!"
Wen Nanyin shook his head.
Mu Wenxi then realized what was happening and tapped his chest with her finger. Wen Nanyin pretended to take a few steps back and clutched his chest, saying, "It hurts."
Mu Wenxi wasn't fooled: "Oh, so you can act now and pretend to be bad to fool me. I wonder how many young girls you men who can act will fool in the future."
Wen Nanyin smiled and said, "How could that be? I wouldn't go out of my way to deceive young girls."
Mu Wenxi: "Hmph."
Wen Nanyin pinched her cheek: "Think about where to go for fun tomorrow?"
Mu Wenxi: "Can we go out and play tomorrow?"
Wen Nanyin: "Sister Ping managed to get me a day to go sightseeing."
Mu Wenxi: "Yeah, let's go for a walk, anywhere is fine, let me do the planning."
Wen Nanyin: "Okay, let's take a look together."
The next morning, Mu Wenxi wore her favorite clothes and saw Wen Nanyin dressed in black with a black hat and mask. She wondered, "Will there be paparazzi?"
Wen Nanyin shook his head: "No, I'm not that famous. I don't even have any fans, so how could I have paparazzi?"
Mu Wenxi: "There will be many, many fans who love you in the future."
Wen Nanyin: "It will happen."
Back in City B, three weeks of summer vacation had already passed, and Mu Wenxi's college entrance examination results would be released soon. When Mu's parents asked about Mu Wenxi's college application choices, Mu Wenxi proudly replied, "Of course, it's the same as before!"
Mu's parents have always respected Xiaoxi. They understood when she said that. Just like when she was a child, the girl chose her favorite major: she wanted to be a scientist.
Although Wen Nanyin was very busy after returning, he kept track of his friends' movements. On the day the college entrance examination results were released, he reminded Mu Wenxi not to forget to check them.
Mu Wenxi said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, I won't forget."
Wen Nanyin was still a little worried. He happened to be home that day, so he went straight to Mu Wenxi's house. An elder in Wenxi's family opened the door. He greeted them and then ran upstairs to Mu Wenxi's room.
Mu's parents were already checking the girl's grades. Mu Wenxi said, "You're making a big fuss over nothing."
Mother Shepherd: "This is a major life event, how can we not make a fuss?"
Father: "Alright, alright, let's look at the results."
Mu Wenxi stepped aside from his throne: "Come on, take a look."
The shepherd's mother sat down without ceremony, opened the query page, and there was a brief silence around her: "Seven hundred... seven hundred and eight?"
For the first time, the father showed a flustered expression, his mouth slightly open.
Wen Nanyin: "How is it?"
Mu Wenxi sat on the sofa with his legs crossed: "Hehe, not bad."
Seeing that Mu's parents were still glued to the computer, Wen Nanyin quickly went over to take a look. He soon came out with a blank expression: "Did I see that wrong?"
Mu Wenxi put down his crossed legs: "What did you misread?"
Wen Nanyin: "Seven hundred... more than seven hundred points?"
Mu Wenxi nodded: "I didn't see wrong."
Wen Nanyin: "Isn't a perfect score only 750?"
Mu Wenxi: "Yes, yes."
Wen Nanyin finally came to his senses, seemingly remembering his good friend's intelligence. He looked at her with admiration, but the fact that a 14-year-old girl had been admitted to the best university in City B sounded like a legendary story.
Mu Wenxi: "You can do it too."
Wen Nanyin quickly waved his hand: "No, I can't."
To celebrate Mu Wenxi's admission to university, Mu's parents originally wanted to throw a big party, but Mu Wenxi persuaded them against it.
Mu Wenxi: "Mom and Dad, it's better if we keep it low-key. I'm not the only one taking the college entrance exam. If we have a big celebration, it's fine, but if some people think it's showing off, that's not good. If we really want to celebrate, we can just have a small family event with a few close friends and relatives."
