Chapter 62 - Where Were You On Audition Day? (2)
That night, Chi Ying went home while holding Chi Cheng’s hand in hers.
She turned on her cellphone and was surprised to find that she had dozens of missed calls.
She didn’t think she was well-known enough for Director Qi to call her so many times to extend his invitation.
While she was still baffled, her cellphone rang in the next second that followed.
“Chi Ying, you didn’t come to the audition today?”
“Yeah, I had another engagement and left my house without having my phone with me. I do apologize.”
“When is a good time for you. Why don’t you swing by?”
Chi Ying went silent for a little bit and said, “Afternoon of next Tuesday?” She had no class or any other arrangements that day.
“Alright. Call me if you have any questions.”
“Thank you, Director Qi.”
After she had hung up, Chi Ying felt that she was in a dream still.
Her cheeks turned pink from excitement.
Was that true?
Did she really still have an opportunity to audition?
She finally noticed the blinking of her cellphone, saw the message from Yue Zhuo, and responded back to him. “What’s the matter, Young Master Yue? Did something happen? I went out for fun today and didn’t have my cellphone with me. I do apologize.”
Lu JingYan raised his browse and there were slight annoyance and a bit of coldness in his eyes.
What did she just say??
She went out to have fun?
***
As the movie was based on a popular novel, actresses attending the audition was provided with background information on the role.
Chi Ying’s features were of the bright and stunning type and was very different from the fragile and inferior feel of the second female lead in the movie.
As such, she put a lot of thought into the make up on the day of the audition.
She had applied the highlights perfectly, making her features seemed slimmer and more prominent.
Her eye makeup was of the type that was waterproof and smear proof and she made the corners of her eyes seemed lower than they normally were.
She chose a paler hue for her face and also a dimmer colored lipstick.
In the mirror, she temperament looked entirely different.
When she dazed, she looked fragile like glass. When she smiled, her eyes were limpid, fragile, and serene.
Her makeup was so incredible that even Chi Cheng tugged at the corner of her shirt and said, “Mommy, Mommy. Do you not feel well?”
He was so worried when he talked, he looked like he was about to start crying.
That made Chi Ying’s heart ached. Holding up his little face, she said to him solemnly. “No, Mommy only have makeup on is all.”
Chi Cheng didn’t seem like he believed her.
Chi Ying, noticing that she was being overly serious, turned and smiled at him. Her face was gentle and delicate, as though it was sparkling.
Suddenly realizing the power of makeup. Chi Cheng let out a small cry. His voice was milky and pure. His eyes widened as he asked curiously, “What is makeup? Is that what Mommy does everyday after you’ve brushed your teeth?”
Chi Ying did not contradict his statement. Chi Cheng was still young. She did not explain to him the difference between makeup and skincare.
Chi Cheng still looked worry. He ran over to her again when she was tidying things up and looked up at her with his little face. “But Mommy, you look so sad.”
Chi Ying stopped with what she was doing and looked at him tenderly. “Mommy is not really sad. Mommy is an actress and am only pretending to be sad.”
Chi Cheng shook his head in disbelief. His eyes were filled with worry.
Chi Ying told him repeatedly that sadness from the effect of makeup was not real before Chi Cheng finally nodded hesitantly.
Chi Ying headed toward the audition location after she had dropped Chi Cheng off at the kindergarten.
Qi HongCheng, dressed formally, was waiting for her at the stairs. He frowned slightly when Chi Ying showed up.
The girl in front of him was calm and peaceful and her steps elegant. She possessed the ability to make one feel comforted like a gentle breeze. She was but a newbie who has yet to have her debut but her temperament belonged to that of a superstar. That was something that he hadn’t expected nor would like to see.
He needed Chi Ying to be weaker; that would make it easier to hand the opportunity over to Shu Bai.
Qi HongCheng chitchatted with Chi Ying, albeit distracted, and took Chi Ying over to the audition location.
