Chapter 72 - Audition!
Qin Shuang’s eyes widened in her disbelief. Her thick makeup made her look a little scary.
The man in front of her was 1.88 meters tall. He was wearing a trench coat and a cap, but he was currently staring at her in shock. His amorous eyes were filled with shock, and even the mole at the corner of his eyes seemed to be filled with surprise. And when she said “hubby,” he felt particularly stunned.
What did Sister Xi call him? Hubby?
Crap!
Cen Bai felt that he was done for.
Everyone could tell that that person in the Moguls’ Group was flirting with Sister Xi, but Sister Xi actually liked him?
This is too serious! I can die on the spot!
Cen Bai stuttered, “Xi, Sister Xi?”
The moment the other party spoke, Qin Shuang realized what had happened. She immediately covered her mouth to prevent herself from screaming!
Ahhhh!
Ahhhhh!
It was really her husband, her idol!
He was real!
She wanted to reach out to touch him, but she did not dare to. She could only jump around in excitement. Her usual glib tongue was gone, and she was so agitated that she could not utter a single word.
The two of them stared at each other. For a moment, neither knew what to say. At the door, Gao Yanchen rushed over with the rest of the Flames.
It was only then that Cen Bai realized that there was someone else at the door.
He turned around and saw an obedient-looking girl standing there. She was wearing a school uniform and had a ponytail. Her misty eyes were looking at him. Her features were so exquisite that she looked even prettier than a female celebrity!
Beside her, Gao Yanchen was being so cocky that he did not deign to speak. Flame Number One was staring at Cen Bai. As they were quite far away and Cen Bai was wearing a trench coat, he could not see his face clearly. He immediately said, “Sister Xi, is he the one who dares to lie to you? Brothers, you must beat him until his mother can’t even recognize him!”
Cen Bai: “?”
Qin Shuang: “?”
It was only then that Cen Bai realized that the girl in front of him was not Sister Xi. Instead, Sister Xi was the one standing by the door. He immediately regained his breath and revived on the spot!
But if Sister Xi was at the door, the person in front of her was…
Qin Shuang saw her idol looking over and was about to take a step forward to say something when she saw her idol frown in disdain and take a step back. Only then did she recall that she was wearing thick makeup.
Qin Shuang immediately covered her face.
She did not feel ashamed at all when she was in this state usually because she did not need to care about the looks of those she did not care about. However, Cen Bai was not anyone else but her light.
Qin Shuang hurriedly took two steps back.
Click!
Suddenly, a flash appeared in the distance. This meant that there were reporters!
Cen Bai suddenly relaxed and smiled like a fox. “Sister Xiao Xi, see you next time.”
When they were chatting online, his tone was cute.
However, in reality, this person’s voice did not sound feminine at all. Instead, it did not sound like he was acting cute. Instead, his tone was seductive, as though he was a demon!
He was already in the middle of a scandal and could not afford to be photographed by others. Now that he was exposed, the best solution was to escape as soon as possible.
He pulled down his hat and covered most of his face. Finally, he glanced at Qin Shuang. Her legs were long and she disappeared from the room in just a few steps.
“…”
The members of the Roaring Flame Society looked at each other and fell silent for a moment. Then, Flame Number One burst out laughing and watched as someone imitated Qing Shuang’s voice and shouted, “Hubby?”
Qin Shuang: “?!”
Ahhhh!
What did she shout at her idol just now?
She was too ashamed to face anyone!
On the way back, Qin Shuang acted like a chatterbox. “Sister Xi, I didn’t remove my makeup today and let him see my ugliest side. What should I do?! I love him, but he must think that I’m a lunatic. How could I just call me hubby? I should have just shouted that in my heart!”
“…”
“Ah, ah, ah, ah. I still have to go to the audition in the afternoon. Or should I not go? I don’t dare to meet my idol anymore. And this stationery box… It actually hit my idol. I want to… I want it…”
Xue Xi thought that Qin Shuang would throw the stationery case or smash it in a fit of anger, but this person’s next words shocked her. “I want to treasure it. This is not an ordinary stationery case. This stationery case touched the person I love!”
“…”
Xue Xi could not follow this star-chasing dog’s train of thought.
The group had lunch together. When it was time for the self-study class in the afternoon, Qin Shuang had to go to the audition. She was timid and did not dare to, so she forcefully dragged Xue Xi to accompany her.
The rest of the people had to be extras and could not attend the following classes. Since Xue Xi had nothing better to do, she might as well go with her.
Before going, Qin Shuang went to the washroom to remove her makeup.
Not having any makeup remover with her, she washed her face more than once, revealing her fair features.
Qin Shuang’s appearance and eyebrows exuded a classical aura, but her almond-shaped eyes were sharp, which added a certain grandness. She looked at her unfamiliar yet familiar self in the mirror and cheered herself on.
Xue Xi was waiting for her outside the washroom and coincidentally bumped into Old Liu, who was preparing to go downstairs.
Seeing Xue Xi, Old Liu stopped in his tracks. Faced with this “poor and pitiful” student, Old Liu could not help but feel sorry for her. He was afraid that Xue Xi would take it to heart, so he explained, “Xue Xi, I actually wanted to recommend you for that audition, but they needed someone who can play the piano. Don’t take it to heart.”
Xue Xi: “…Oh.”
She was actually not interested in filming. After all, if she had the time, she might as well go and finish a few high-school assessment books.
After Qin Shuang came out, Xue Xi accompanied her to the third floor of the education block for an interview.
By the time the two of them had arrived, the rest of the students were already there and each class had chosen a spot. The girls recommended by the teachers were all good-looking and good at playing the piano.
The two of them had just arrived when the stage supervisor walked over. He paused when he saw Xue Xi and his eyes lit up. “You’re here for the audition too?”
Li Hanlei, who accompanied Xue Yao, sneered. “She came with her classmates!”
The stage supervisor instantly felt a little regretful. The girl’s image and temperament were too compatible with the character requirements. Hence, he forced himself to ask, “Then, student, do you want to try?”
Xue Xi shook her head.
Disappointed, the stage supervisor asked, “Why?”
Before Xue Xi could reply, Li Hanlei continued, “She has never touched the piano before. How can she play it?”
The stage supervisor sighed in disappointment.
The pianist role had a scene where she needed to be captured on film, zooming from far to near. Hence, it required the actress to know how to play the piano!
The stage supervisor then looked at Qin Shuang and was taken aback. “Eh, weren’t you already here?”
After the supervisor said that, Qin Shuang turned around and looked at another girl waiting. That person had the same face as Qin Shuang. It was Qin Lu!
Li Hanlei mocked, “So, this role is either Yaoyao’s or Qin Lu’s. Qin Shuang, isn’t it obvious you are just here to make up the numbers?”
