Next, Ye Kehuan performed several more prompts, with more lines than before, but Ye Kehuan had perfectly memorized the lines, and her performance was also very vivid. Chen Fei was dumbfounded, and not just Chen Fei, even the others thought she was very good.

Chen Fei thought about it, and if he remembered correctly, he called Ye Kehuan for an audition on a whim. In other words, Ye Kehuan’s preparation time was actually very short, but she was able to do this in a short time. It was unimaginable to be so good.

Sure enough, Jiang Laien had said that Ye Kehuan had a high degree of affinity with the character, and she was indeed sincere and did not deceive him.

Chen Fei stopped talking, and Ye Kehuan didn’t know what Chen Fei was thinking. She just curled her hair and stood there awkwardly. Then, when Chen Fei looked at her, she smirked again: “It’s done? Or do you want me to continue acting?”

Finally, Chen Fei nodded: “Yes, not bad, you go back and wait for a message.”

When the assistant director heard Chen Fei’s words, he subconsciously turned his head and looked at him. It seemed that Director Chen was planning to use Ye Kehuan. After all, a characteristic of Director Chen was that if one fails their audition, he would either say, “I think you may be more suitable to audition for XX drama” after the audition, or simply say, “I think you are not very suitable for this role.” But if he was serious about someone, he would put on a paralyzed face and say, “It’s good, you go back first”--just like he did with Cheng Yan. It showed he was thinking about it, but he was not totally satisfied.

Therefore, for Chen Fei to say, “Go back and wait for a message” to Ye Kehuan showed that the really liked Ye Kehuan.

When Ye Kehuan heard it, she hurriedly bowed, “Okay Director Chen, then I will go back first.”

After speaking, Ye Kehuan walked towards the door with a smile on the corners of her mouth. As a result, a staff member pushed in the door at the same time and hit her. The staff had not reacted yet, but Ye Kehuan had already touched her forehead and kept bowing, “I’m sorry”, which caused everyone in the room to let out a low laugh.

“Like a silly roe deer.” Chen Fei lifted his eyes and glanced at her back, then smiled and shook his head.

“Isn’t this Su He, haha.” The assistant director replied with a smile.

After Ye Kehuan left the small room, she hung her bag on her shoulders, then looked at the people remaining in the room, sighed, and finally walked forward with clenched fists: “I have to go now, sisters. Duck!”

The remaining auditioners nodded: “Yeah!”

Then Ye Kehuan opened the door and walked out.

That was the first time in her life that she had come into contact with such a big director. Originally, she thought that a big director would eat people like a big tiger, but when she came, she realized that it was not like that. Although he had a poker face, it wasn’t the same. It wasn’t scary, and he was pretty easy-going.

I don’t know if I can be selected. In short, Ye Kehuan was in a very beautiful mood now.

After exiting the door, Ye Kehuan sent a message to Jiang Laien: “I finished my audition, where are you?”

In the next second, Jiang Laien replied: “Okay, I am here in the 2015 room.”

“Okay, I’ll come over right away!” After Ye Kehuan saw the message, she pulled the strap of her bag and put a pair of sunglasses on the bridge of her nose. After putting on a hat, she stretched her legs and walked quickly towards 2015.

When she got there, she saw Jiang Laien, who was wearing a small white suspender and gray-blue wide-leg pants, had just come out of it, and was now bowing her head to close the door.

Ye Kehuan hurriedly sorted her collar, and then looking up, she saw Jiang Laien turning her head and looking at her, so she put her hand down again.

Under her fluffy hair and sunglasses, Jiang Laien’s originally small face now looked more compact, while her soft red lips and pointed chin were particularly noticeable.

“How do you feel?” Jiang Laien asked, tilting her head.

“I don’t know whether they are satisfied with me. Anyway, I tried my best.” Ye Kehuan stroked the straps of her bag, with a clear smile, “I think I did a good job, but the result doesn’t matter what I think.”

“Yes, it is important to maintain a good attitude at all times, otherwise things will get worse and worse,” Jiang Laien smiled and curled her lips, “I am optimistic about you.”

As the saying goes, people are prone to make mistakes in three situations: love, hate, and ignorance.

For example, back then, because Ye Kehuan fell in love, she was just like that, always making mistakes, so after she became sober, she kept thinking about this warning.

In fact, nothing could be done too hastily, otherwise, it would easily lead to a big mistake, and then one wrong step would lead to another, and it would be difficult to turn right. This is true in love or a career.

“Yes!” Ye Kehuan nodded, then looked down at the time. “Ah, time flies so fast, it’s eleven o’clock now. What do you want to eat? I searched and found several stores last night, and they all seem pretty good. Look, look.”

While Ye Kehuan was talking, she opened all the stores collected in an App on her mobile phone, and then showed them to Jiang Laien.

Finally free, they could finally have some time where the two of them belonged only to each other.

However, just when Jiang Laien was about to look over, the door of Room 2015 opened again, and then a woman wearing a white halter jumpsuit and brown-red retro inner-buckle short hair came out.

The woman had a three-dimensional face with delicate makeup, a silver prismatic purse hung off her wrist, and a pair of beige pointed high heels on her feet, which made her look very tall and compelling.

So, was Jiang Laien playing with this woman just now? Ye Kehuan pushed the glasses on the bridge of her nose.

“You haven’t left yet?” The woman asked with a smile after seeing Jiang Laien and Ye Kehuan.

The voice was quite like a princess’, and with that smile, she looked even more imperious.

“We are ready to go, why are you coming out now?” Jiang Laien looked sideways at her.

“Just now, there was a flash of inspiration, and I finished the design that had tortured me for a few days.” The woman smiled.

“That’s good, so you can rest.” Jiang Laien nodded.

Ye Kehuan stood there, looked at them, and then looked at the time, coughing from time to time.

“By the way, let me introduce you. This is a friend from outside the circle, Lu An, who is an original fashion designer.” At this moment, Jiang Laien pulled Ye Kehuan by the corner of her clothes and pointed at Lu An. Looking at Lu An again: “This is my friend, Ye Kehuan.”

After listening, Lu An smiled and stretched out her hand: “Fortunately, we were lucky to meet.”

“Hello…” Ye Kehuan shook her hand.

“By the way, are you going to have lunch now?” Lu An asked again.

Jiang Laien smiled: “I am planning to go.”

“Haha, do you mind picking me up?” Lu An continued to ask.

“Girl…” Ye Kehuan also spat out a word, but then before she could cause an accident, she looked at Jiang Laien: “Mind what, of course I won’t mind, right?”

Ye Kehuan turned her head and looked at Jiang Laien.

Jiang Laien was stunned for a second, and then she lifted the corners of her lips, not smiling: “Yes, we don’t mind, let’s go together.”

“Okay, there is a nice western restaurant nearby. I want to go there, how about you?” Lu An asked again.

“Then we’ll go there.” Jiang Laien smiled.

Ye Kehuan also nodded, without saying much although she actually minded very much. She obviously only wanted to play with Jiang Laien. After all, time was precious, and they would continue to record the reality show the next day. What’s more, she had made a lot of strategies in order to play with Jiang Laien, but now she felt that those strategies were no longer needed.

After that, Lu An stroked her hair casually and pulled Jiang Laien’s arm: “Then, let’s go.”

Ye Kehuan looked at Lu An and Jiang Laien’s arms holding each other, feeling flustered in her heart, but also feeling that she was insane. What’s the matter, people are not allowed to have friends anymore? If you don’t accept it, you can go up and hold Jiang Laien. But Ye Kehuan still chose to put her hands in her pockets, and even she didn’t know how awkward she was.

In the blink of an eye, the three of them arrived at the restaurant, which was very magnificently decorated. Because it was a work day, and it was quite expressive, for the moment, there were not many people in it.

Under the guidance of a waiter, the three of them took their seats in a box on the second floor and began to order their meals. After Jiang Laien and Lu An finished ordering one after another, Ye Kehuan began ordering.

However, at that moment, Ye Kehuan suddenly felt that she didn’t want to eat anything. Everything on the menu became unattractive. At that time, she was like a pervert, listening to Jiang Laien and Lu An chat with cupped ears.

The two of them seemed to have a very good chat. They talked about manicures for a while, and then makeup for a while, almost all topics involving Ye Kehuan’s blind spot of knowledge. Yes, Ye Kehuan lived a rough life, as if she was raised as a boy by her family since she was a child.

Were Jiang Laien and Lu An so happy to chat?

Ye Kehuan’s mind became more and more chaotic. She was clearly holding the menu, but she didn’t know what she was looking at.

At this time, the waiter intimately asked Ye Kehuan again: “Hello, do you want me to recommend anything?”

“A yellow braised chicken.” Ye Kehuan said in an expressionless voice.

Jiang Laien and Lu An couldn’t help but look at her.

The waiter also opened his mouth in a daze, as if shocked: “Sorry, we don’t have that one here.”

Ye Kehuan came back to her senses and changed her words: “Tomahawk steak and summer rose special drink.”

“Okay, a Tomahawk steak and a cup of summer rose, please wait a moment.” After the waiter finished speaking, he walked out politely.

At this time, Lu An looked at Ye Kehuan and smiled: “Miss Ye is quite humorous.”

Ye Kehuan cleared her throat and held up a glass of water: “It’s okay.”

At this time, Jiang Laien gently tapped on her arm: “What’s the matter, it feels like you have been out of it.”

“No,” Ye Kehuan was taken aback, and hurriedly shook her head to deny, “I feel only calm, like Dinghai Shenzhen.” 1

“Really?” Jiang Laien asked suspiciously.

“Of course.” Ye Kehuan nodded.

Jiang Laien didn’t speak anymore, but looked at Ye Kehuan with her hands on her cheeks.

In the blink of an eye, lunch was finished. Originally, Ye Kehuan thought that that was the end and that Lu An would go back, but what she didn’t expect was that Lu An then proposed to visit a mall.

So, they went to the mall together…

That stroll took more than two hours. When she came out, Lu An had a few more bags on her hands, all of which were her trophies.

But it wasn’t over yet. Next, Lu An took them to watch a movie. The movie was very thought-provoking but boring and long. After Ye Kehuan dozed off four or five times, it was finally over. She opened her eyes and looked at the cast at the end of the film, expressionless.

“I’m a little hungry, do you want to eat dinner now?” Lu An asked again this time.

Ye Kehuan, who was rubbing her eyes and yawning, suddenly stopped.

Then, half an hour later, they sat down in a Chinese restaurant and ordered four dishes and one soup. In addition, Lu An ordered a bottle of wine and a small bottle of liquor.

Ye Kehuan was not in a good state the whole time, probably because she was not happy, but felt that she had no reason to be unhappy at all, so she was very conflicted. Finally, after a bite of the food, her eyes focused on the wine.

“Miss Ye wants to drink too?” Lu An asked.

After Ye Kehuan heard this, she simply nodded: “Drink!”

Jiang Laien raised her eyebrows and reminded her: “You, don’t drink too much.”

Ye Kehuan nodded: “Just a little bit.”

So Lu An asked the waiter to bring a glass over, and then poured a glass of wine for Ye Kehuan.

After Ye Kehuan took it, she took a sip, frowned, and then began to pour her second and third cups…

Jiang Laien looked at her thoughtfully.

Since her alcohol tolerance wasn’t too good, and she drank a little too much, Ye Kehuan couldn’t walk steadily after the meal was over.

After paying the bill and leaving the restaurant, Jiang Laien could only hold her waist firmly and looked at Lu An: “Then I will go first, see you next time.”

“Okay.” Lu An smiled. “See you next time.”

Then, Jiang Laien let out a sigh of relief, got Ye Kehuan into the car, and helped her fasten her seat belt.

“Really, you drank so much even though I told you not to…” Jiang Laien fastned her seat belt as she spoke.

“I’m not drunk yet…” Ye Kehuan turned her head and slurred her words.

“Is this called not yet?” Jiang Laien asked amusedly.

“No!” Ye Kehuan suddenly stretched out her hand. “Crabs have eight claws and they are so big with pointed ends. With eyes wide and neck shrinking, they crawl across the sand… Shahe!”

After listening, Jiang Laien was stunned for a while, and finally smiled and shook her head, and then drove the car to the small villa.

It was after nine o’clock in the evening when they got home, and she stopped the car. After Jiang Laien got her out, she walked with great difficulty to the door and opened it.

People who are drunk are really heavy; Jiang Laien felt as if her arms would be ruined by her in minutes.

“God…” Jiang Laien carried Ye Kehuan vigorously, closed her eyes and let out a sigh, and then dragged her into the door with the strength of break and milk.

She vowed that she would never let Ye Kehuan drink half a drop of wine in the future.

After struggling to hold Ye Kehuan, Jiang Laien closed the door and took her to the sofa with labored steps.

“You… You sit here for a while, and I will take you upstairs after I have the strength…” Jiang Laien panted, while preparing to put her on the sofa.

However, the moment when she put down Ye Kehuan, she didn’t pay attention and she fell on the sofa first. Then, because she was holding Ye Kehuan with her hand, Ye Kehuan also fell down instantly.

“Bad…” In the next second, Jiang Laien hadn’t finished speaking when her next words were blocked by a pair of warm and soft lips.
