"Oh my god! Ye, you just looked like a greasy male lead in an idol drama, the kind who takes the female lead to Metersbonwe!"
Luo Yao paced back and forth in a frenzy, then rushed forward, disgustedly grabbing Shang Yechu's hand that was pressing against Yang Huanyi's hand and tossing it aside. His movements were extremely reserved, as if Shang Yechu's hand were soaked in lard.
"Ye Chu," Luo Yao gesticulated wildly, as if she were having an epileptic seizure, "who taught you that look in your eyes! And your body language—I'm going to blacklist that actor forever!"
“They’re not actors, they’re some of my friends…” Shang Yechu hesitated for a moment before saying that Ji Juntao’s pretty boys weren’t quite good enough to be called boyfriends, “some suitors.”
The camel stared wide-eyed for a long while, then murmured, "Your friend is really having a hard time."
Was the acting really that bad?
Shang Yechu, confident in her acting skills, has never received such a terrible review before. Judging from Luo Yao's performance, if it weren't for his higher status and his initially decent performance, Shang Yechu would have been kicked out by now.
Shang Yechu felt both embarrassed and resentful, and looked up at Yang Huanyi. Unexpectedly, Yang Huanyi was also looking down at her. Their eyes met. Shang Yechu's face flushed, and she quickly looked away.
When Shang Yechu first met Yang Huanyi, she was still thinking about her and worried that Yang Huanyi's performance would be bad and drag down "Anna Doriya". Unexpectedly, she was the one who got a thorough scolding from Luo Yao during the first audition.
Yang Huanyi, unaware of Shang Yechu's thoughts, assumed Shang Yechu was feeling awkward due to their close proximity. She quickly took a step back, creating some distance. However, Shang Yechu, leaning against her, lost her balance and fell backward—
Yang Huanyi reacted quickly and reached out to help, but it was too late; Shang Yechu had already fallen to the ground.
Yang Huanyi was slightly taken aback. Half a second later, she came to her senses and stepped forward to help Shang Yechu up.
"Sorry, Ye Chu, I was just thinking about something..."
"It's nothing, it was just my own carelessness." To imitate Zhao Lele's spoiled attitude, Shang Yechu deliberately positioned the chair like a horse rearing up, sitting on her hind legs. However, her balance was excellent, and even if Yang Huanyi dodged, it wouldn't matter. The fall was intentional, just to ease the awkward atmosphere in the room.
In an attempt to strike up a conversation with Yang Huanyi, Shang Yechu casually asked, "Sister Yi, what were you thinking about just now?"
Yang Huanyi shook her head: "My reaction time is much slower than before."
She's an action star by profession, and has always prided herself on her agile skills. If it were two years ago, she definitely would have been able to catch Shang Yechu before he fell.
It was just a casual question, but it unexpectedly stirred up painful memories for Yang Huanyi. Shang Yechu felt even more embarrassed, and along with her embarrassment came a faint sense of guilt. This guilt had lingered in her heart ever since she saw how aged Yang Huanyi had become.
Fortunately, Luo Yao interjected in time: "It doesn't matter~ Anyway, you don't need to do any fighting in this movie. How about we do it again? Ye Chu, you absolutely cannot use that look in your eyes again this time!"
Work can make all awkwardness disappear. Shang Yechu and Yang Huanyi got ready again and started work for the second time.
We can't act recklessly this time. Since Zhao Lele isn't acting impulsively, Lin Fengyu must be.
Shang Yechu mentally searched through the information, recalling Su Ge's attitude towards Qin Tianye, and skillfully applied it to her face.
Luo Yao frowned, but didn't stop her. Shang Yechu breathed a slight sigh of relief, adopting a shy, girlish demeanor, stealing glances at Yang Huanyi, and subtly moving her hand to the back of Yang Huanyi's hand...
Luo Yao finally couldn't take it anymore: "Crack! Crack! Crack! This is absolutely disgusting!"
Yang Huanyi quickly withdrew her hand. Although she didn't say anything, Shang Yechu saw her rub the goosebumps on her arm.
The following auditions were also unsatisfactory. Worst of all, Yang Huanyi initially performed reasonably well, but as the number of auditions increased, she was gradually led astray by Shang Yechu!
"You two are lovers in the ambiguous stage, not best friends!"
"Oh dear~ Ye Chu, you can't act like that!"
"Sister Lin, Ye Chu is your peer, don't look at her like you're a daughter..."
"What are you blushing about! Our play is about two women, not a man and a woman!"
"Sister Lin, why are your eyes starting to look like a man's?"
The audition went increasingly worse, leaving Luo Yao utterly exhausted. Two hours later, even the light in his eyes had vanished.
"That's enough for today," Luo Yao said weakly. "You guys go back and think it over. I need to go back and think about it too."
----------
Shang Yechu returned in defeat, filled with self-doubt and disbelief. However, the thought that Yang Huanyi's performance wasn't much better made him feel somewhat relieved.
For the next few days, Luo Yao did not contact Shang Yechu. This made Shang Yechu uneasy, and she had to frequently contact Yang Huanyi. Fortunately, according to Yang Huanyi, Luo Yao had also not contacted her for the past two days, presumably simply needing to calm down.
Shang Yechu has been staying in Taiwan for too long, and Gu Wenhua and Qi Ming have already returned. Only President Ji seems to have been busy with something these past few days and hasn't inquired about Shang Yechu's delayed return.
Of all the things that went smoothly, the only one was Kang Wuling's extramarital affair, which was naturally exposed following the trajectory of his previous life, causing a great uproar. As a result, the low-profile project "The Heavenly Emperor" also gained fame and came into the public eye.
This relieved Shang Yechu. Lately, her right eyelid had been twitching, and her auditions hadn't gone well, making her wonder if she'd been cursed. She was also worried that Kang Wuling wouldn't collapse as expected. Fortunately, the old man had lived up to Shang Yechu's expectations.
Like a mosquito drawn to blood, Shang Yechu immediately set off from Taiwan and flew back to the capital. Of course, before leaving, she didn't forget to leave her agent, Lu Ji, on Taiwan, in case Luo Yao misunderstood.
