Translator: 549690339
It was practically the instant Li Mingyu’s words had fallen silent.
Ye Xiao had reacted.
Despite such a calm visage, she adjusted a few micro-expressions, and imdiately took on the persona of the character in the play.
Li Mingyu stared intently at her.
The recomndation of a good friend had filled her with enormous expectations for Ye Xiao.
Could she be the leading lady she had been waiting for?
Ye Xiao, too, mid the action of pushing open a door, and opened it.
Then.
She looked up and saw the person on the ground, close to death.
Li Mingyu’s eyes blinked observantly, watching every micro-expression on Ye Xiao’s face.
Upon discovering a person close to death, Ye Xiao’s expression hardly changed; she used a few micro-expressions to convey a slight surprise, then, turning around, it seed soone was outside the door, Ye Xiao blocked the line of sight and said with a smile, “It’s fine to drop off here, my place is a ss, co over so other ti.”
Ye Xiao improvised, adding a friend’s role into the scenario.
Li Mingyu’s gaze shifted ever so slightly.
This seemingly inconsequential character highlighted the role’s strong psychological resilience.
Ordinary people simply could not maintain such composure.
After seeing off her friend, Ye Xiao closed the door, thodically locking it behind her.
Then, she turned around.
Li Mingyu watched, her heart suddenly skipping a beat.
With just a turn, Ye Xiao’s expression had completely changed.
In her seemingly calm eyes, a trace of madness flickered, and her facial micro-expressions beca inexplicably sinister.
She walked slowly towards the spot where the person lay.
“Begging for rcy? What’s the use?” Ye Xiao chuckled lightly. She half-squatted, as if she had a knife in her hand, gently sliding it across the person’s face.
The eerie smile at the corner of her lips made Li Mingyu feel a chill.
The Ye Xiao before her had lost all previous semblance, becoming a complete psychopath.
She giggled, seemingly listening to the person speak.
“Spare you?” Her voice suddenly beca gentle, as if she genuinely intended to spare the person.
But within that tender voice, she suddenly gripped the dagger in her hand and thrust it down fiercely!
There wasn’t anything real!
Yet, at Ye Xiao’s motion, Li Mingyu couldn’t help but feel her heartbeat accelerate for a mont!
“I’ve confined you for so long, and you chose this ti to crawl out. Were you hoping my friend would see you and rescue you?” Ye Xiao said, laughing as she struck another blow.
“Back then, you didn’t spare my brother. This ti, why should I spare you?”
Another stab.
Li Mingyu was stunned.
It was just an arbitrary note, ant to exhibit acting skills with neither cause nor consequence, let alone logic.
But Ye Xiao.
With only a few lines, she brought the logic full circle.
The scene was completed.
The person had caused the death of the woman’s brother; the woman had trapped and tortured him; seeking his own salvation, the person had crawled out, provoking the woman to murder him in cold blood!
“Spare you?”
“Spare you?”
Ye Xiao was still questioning.
Her emotions were escalating, layer upon layer.
In the end.
It seed the person had completely ceased to breathe, and a twisted smile erged on her lips.
“This way, I guess I’m really sparing you.”
Otherwise, she would not have let him die so easily.
Just at that mont.
Suddenly, there seed to be the sound of a doorbell ringing.
Ye Xiao sharply turned her head.
The wicked smile at the corner of her lips slowly faded, the madness in her eyes gradually returning to normal.
She stood up, with a trace of innocent smile on her face, and asked softly, “Who is it?”
So.
Who was outside the door.
Ye Xiao should be covered in blood by now, she couldn’t be seen like this – would she have to murder again?
Li Mingyu’s heart was in her throat.
“Okay, it’s over.”
Ye Xiao suddenly relaxed her fra and said with a nonchalant face.
“Over? What’s over?” Li Mingyu asked, sowhat dazed.
Ye Xiao looked at her as if she was being absurd: “The performance is over.”
Li Mingyu: “…”
The performance is over?
The performance actually ended just like that?
Li Mingyu couldn’t help but ask, “But who was knocking at the door? You’ve just killed soone; you shouldn’t be seen.”
Ye Xiao was even more baffled: “How should I know? Director Li, I was just making it up!”
The performance is all over, and now I’m supposed to finish writing the story too?
Li Mingyu suddenly felt a lump in her chest, unable to move it up or down.
She looked sowhat gloomily at Ye Xiao.
Just now, she had been drawn into the play.
And then there was Ye Xiao.
Saying she was into the character one mont, and out of character the next, made it seem like she was the one being unreasonable.
Her friend’s words were indeed not wrong.
This was a promising newcor, just inexplicably annoying at tis.
Li Mingyu took a deep breath, cald her emotions, and finally a smile erged on her lips.
Annoying or not,
her female lead was most likely secured.
“Ye Xiao,” Li Mingyu said with profound eyes, “Tentative. Wait for the audition to end, and then for the next notice.”
In her heart, she had settled on Ye Xiao, but the formalities still had to be observed.
“Okay,” Ye Xiao replied and stepped off the stage.
Ye Bingtong’s expression subtly changed.
She admitted.
Ye Xiao’s performance was indeed a bit better, a bit more complete than hers.
But.
In acting, isn’t it enough to be good-looking and passable in other areas?
Was Li Mingyu’s attitude indicating a predetermined choice for Ye Xiao?
Ye Bingtong couldn’t help but clench her teeth!
Her eldest brother kept saying director Li had a lot of autonomy, and he couldn’t intervene.
Probably not!
Her eldest brother must have approached Li Mingyu in secret, having everything arranged for Ye Xiao in advance.
Today, Li Mingyu was rely assisting in the performance.
After all,
The Ye Family held considerable power in the entertainnt industry. Bai Shilan’s influence hadn’t been effective, likely due to her brother’s machinations behind the scenes.
Why?
Why not?
We are both sisters!
Why did he only sche for Ye Xiao and not for her?
Ye Xiao kept talking about fair competition, but what about reality?
Her brother had already been securing resources for her in secret!
Is that fair?!
“What’s the matter? You seem dissatisfied?” Ye Xiao deliberately stopped by Ye Bingtong.
Ye Bingtong forced a smile: “Xiaoxiao, what are you talking about?”
Ye Xiao just scoffed sarcastically.
So people just never see their own level, always wallowing in self-pity.
Such a person, actually managing to beco the female lead. It just shows that the world is sowhat in decay.
Perhaps, it is for this reason that she has co.
To save a world on the brink of collapse?
Tsk tsk tsk.
The audition continued, but with Ye Xiao’s performance out there, classmates had already begun to congratulate her.
Ye Xiao showed no modesty, acting as if her success was almost certain.
Ye Bingtong could hardly stand it.
She walked out the door, unable to resist contacting Bai Shilan.
“Sister, I don’t think I did very well in the audition this afternoon. Director Li said I’ve been eliminated.”
Bai Shilan saw the ssage and hurriedly replied, “Bingtong, don’t worry just yet. I’m at the place where we t this morning; co over now.”
Ye Bingtong’s gaze shifted, could there still be a chance?
She quickly made her way there.
In the lecture hall, Ye Xiao watched the following scene unfold and couldn’t help but reveal a sneer.
Even using a child for their advantage.
And she qualifies to be the female lead?
Heh.
