Chapter 156 is more attractive than him.

Because Shen Zhiyi specifically mentioned it, Wang Feifei sent over a few scripts the next day.

"I've selected all of them," Wang Feifei said on the phone. "There's a script you might like, and it's a big production. If you're interested, let's go for an audition."

She really understood Shen Zhiyi's preferences. After Shen Zhiyi read those scripts one by one, he chose the big production that she mentioned.

"Sister," Shen Zhiyi did not hesitate and sent her a message directly, "I want to audition for the role of the second female lead. When is the audition time?"

The role of the second female lead is more complicated and challenging than the first female lead. Shen Zhiyi has never played a similar role before, and she wants to give it a try.

"Let me take a look," Wang Feifei knew that she would like that one, "Next week, you still have time to practice the audition clip. There are many people who want this role, and there is basically no chance for a second audition."

So you must be prepared.

Shen Zhiyi happened to have no work arrangements these days, so he took the script back to Huating and pondered it all the time.

When Pei Yu came back, he saw her reading a script on the sofa. She was so serious that she didn't even notice he was back.

He didn't bother her, went to the kitchen to get a glass of water, and asked the housekeeper who was preparing dinner, "Didn't she have lunch today?"

"Yes," the housekeeper told Pei Yu the news at noon, but he didn't see it in time. "She got up a little late today and had brunch. There were snacks prepared for afternoon tea, but she was so absorbed in reading the script that she didn't eat anything but drank a cup of coffee."

They only ate a little the whole day, which made the housekeeper so worried that he had to move up the dinner time.

Pei Yu didn't say anything. After a while, dinner was ready and he went to call someone.

"Have a meal."

Without even looking up, Shen Zhiyi drew a few lines on the script with a pen, "I'm not hungry, you guys eat first."

As soon as she finished speaking, Pei Yu took the script away. He glanced at the content and asked, "Are you preparing for the audition?"

"Yes," Shen Zhiyi reached for the script. The audition was in a few days, and time was tight. The role was very complicated, and she would not feel at ease until she understood the character thoroughly. "I'll take a look at it for a while."

Pei Yu threw the script aside, took her wrist and picked her up, walking towards the dining table, "If you want a role, wouldn't it be faster to ask me for help?"

Shen Zhiyi was amused by his words and simply stopped struggling, "Boss Pei is so arrogant, do you think you will invest in any drama I star in?"

"Is it not possible?" Pei Yu put her on the chair and leaned over to kiss her lips. "Anyway, Miss Shen has good taste and the scripts she chooses are all good. They will only allow me to double my earnings."

"You can't coax me with words," Shen Zhiyi pushed him away, "Don't interfere. The play has already found an investor. If I want to act, I'll go and audition."

Pei Yu sighed softly in her ear, "Not eating or drinking for the audition?"

"It's not that exaggerated," Shen Zhiyi laughed. Although she sometimes missed meals because she was so absorbed in reading a script, she would never skip meals or drink. "I just missed a meal."

Pei Yu remained unmoved and tapped the table with his fingers, "Promise me there won't be a next time."

The housekeeper brought out the dishes and glanced over here secretly.

Shen Zhiyi felt very embarrassed. Pei Yu actually asked her to promise such a small thing. Did he treat her as a child?
However, seeing that Pei Yu didn't seem to be joking at all, she had no choice but to compromise and hooked his fingertips, "Okay, I promise."

Pei Yu lowered his eyes, his eyebrows slightly raised, "You won't stamp it?"

After delivering the dishes, the butler returned to the kitchen. Shen Zhiyi ignored everyone and hooked his finger towards Pei Yu. When he got close, he kissed him hard on the face.

"Is that all right?"

"The position is wrong," Pei Yu touched her lips with an obvious smile, "put it here."

"Mr. Pei," Shen Zhiyi took his fingers away, "Don't push your luck." "Okay," Pei Yu followed suit, "I'll listen to you."

After dinner, Pei Yu had to take care of some work and insisted that Shen Zhiyi accompany him. The reason was very simple.

"From the time I left home this morning till now," Pei Yu pointed at his watch, "we have been in the same space for no more than an hour."

Shen Zhiyi: "...It's only seven o'clock now."

It’s not like they can only be together for an hour a day.

Pei Yu said nothing, just looked at her calmly with his eyes lowered.

"...Then I'll stay with you for a while."

She needed to concentrate completely when reading the script, and would be easily distracted if Pei Yu was around, so Shen Zhiyi did not bring the script into the study. When Pei Yu was working, she played with her mobile phone, but this was not enough for this man and he had to hold her in his arms.

"Won't I affect your work?" Shen Zhiyi felt that he didn't look like he was working seriously at all.

Because she was not used to it and was anxious to read the script, she was not very comfortable sitting on Pei Yu's lap. Pei Yu pulled her into his arms and said, "If you don't move around, I can concentrate."

Shen Zhiyi muttered softly, "If you don't hold me, I won't move around."

"Hmm?" Pei Yu picked up the pen and said expressionlessly, "Now you won't even let me hug you?"

"You are taking my words out of context," Shen Zhiyi leaned on his shoulder and tugged at the collar of his shirt, "you are deliberately misinterpreting my meaning."

Who said you can’t hug them anymore? The question is who would hug someone while working? Anyway, no decent person would do that.

Stroking her thin back, Pei Yu smiled gently, "My comprehension ability is very poor, so please don't say such specious words, Miss Shen, I will be sad."

Shen Zhiyi looked at him for a few seconds and pointed out, "Mr. Pei's comprehension ability is not good, but his acting skills are better than me as an actor."

I'm still sad, but I'm just pretending to be sad.

This time Pei Yu really laughed out loud, "Maybe it was influenced by Miss Shen."

"Ha," Shen Zhiyi poked his shoulder, "Now you are trying to shift the blame and frame me. You are obviously gifted and born with this talent."

It's a pity that she only sees this now.

Pei Yu signed a document, put down the pen, and raised the corners of his lips, "Thank you for the compliment."

Shen Zhiyi: "...I'm not praising you."

Seeing that Pei Yu could work while chatting with her, without interrupting his work, she envied him and said, "I want to work, too. I want to read the script."

Why is she the only one wasting time?

"Two hours," Pei Yu couldn't persuade her, so he could only find another way to benefit himself, "The rest of the time belongs to me."

"Okay," Shen Zhiyi jumped out of his arms and ran out in a hurry. She might not even hear his words clearly, leaving behind only an impatient back.

Pei Yu looked at the document and smiled faintly.

Good, really good, those pages of paper are more attractive than him, a living person.

I'll update later, I'm too busy~
