Chapter 157 I want to act with you.

More than an hour later, Shen Zhiyi slowly moved to the study room holding the script, peeked in at the door.

Pei Yu was still working, with a pair of rimless glasses on his high nose bridge. He had the indifference of a gentleman. He didn't even raise his head, but he was able to quickly detect her presence in a very short time.

He looked up and asked, "What's wrong?"

Shen Zhiyi didn't answer directly, but asked, "Are you busy?"

"It seems like you have something to ask of me," Pei Yu chuckled and turned off the computer. "I'm not busy now. What does Miss Shen need me to do?"

Shen Zhiyi curved her eyes and walked over with the script in hand. "I want you to help me with the rehearsal. The role I'm auditioning for has a lot of dialogues, and it's a bit difficult to get into the state of a monologue by myself."

She originally wanted to act opposite the butler, but the butler got a headache when he saw the lines in big movies and refused repeatedly.

There was no one in the huge house who could help her act, so she had to come and "harass" Pei Yu.

"Let me see."

Pei Yu took the script from her and she marked the audition clips with a pen. There were three segments in total, each corresponding to a different character. The emotions to be expressed were also very different, which showed the complexity of the role she was going to play.

"All three are fine," Shen Zhiyi said, as if asking someone to do something for him, and handed the choice to him.

After scanning those paragraphs, Pei Yu made a choice, "The third paragraph."

The content of the audition was already firmly memorized. As soon as he mentioned the third paragraph, Shen Zhiyi remembered the lines for that part and nodded, "Okay."

The third paragraph is a scene where the character is in an emotional struggle. On the one hand, she is still trapped in a failed and painful marriage, and on the other hand, she cannot resist the offensive of her new love, wavering between emotion and reason.

"I can't be with you," Shen Zhiyi pondered over this a lot, and her emotional control was quite skillful. She pretended to be calm during this part, "I still have a family."

This role is quite complex and cannot be defined as good or bad. After playing so many simple and flat roles, Shen Zhiyi really wants to try to break through himself.

"I know you have a family," Pei Yu memorized the lines he was going to say after just a few glances, his expression was indifferent and his tone was calm, "Is he as good to you as I am to you?"

Shen Zhiyi's eyes dimmed, but her attitude remained firm. "It doesn't matter. There are too many interests involved in our marriage. He and I will be tied together for the rest of our lives."

"That means you are not as good as me." Pei Yu suddenly pulled her in front of him and stroked her lips with his fingertips. "I didn't ask you to leave him. You can maintain the illusion of a happy marriage while enjoying my kindness to you."

Shen Zhiyi glared at him. Why did this guy change his lines at random? The role he was playing now was obviously an ambitious pretty boy who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to get promoted. This scene was about him forcing the second female lead to get married and trying every means to persuade her to choose him.

Pei Yu seemed not to notice the condemnation in her eyes. He rubbed her lips with his fingertips, lowered his eyes and leaned closer, murmuring like a lover's whisper, "I'll be your secret lover."

"Pei Yu!" Shen Zhiyi was completely distracted by him. What a mess he was talking about. "Don't change the lyrics yourself."

"The script is unreasonable," Pei Yu said, repeating the lines indifferently, "What about 'If you don't divorce, we won't meet again'? If you really can't let go, what's wrong with being lovers?"

Shen Zhiyi was speechless for a while, "You...how can you say that?"

"Because that's what I thought," Pei Yu held her in his arms.

"What?" Shen Zhiyi found that he was serious. She was a little bit unbelievable, but more of it was curiosity. She couldn't help asking, "If I was with Huo Heng while looking for you, would you be willing?"

He is such a proud person. "Well," Pei Yu answered calmly, as if he didn't think it was a big deal, "I won't agree at first, but I won't hesitate for too long."

Be it an underground lover or someone who cannot be seen in public, he probably can't care so much.

Shen Zhiyi looked at him and saw that he was not joking. She felt heavy and sour in her heart. She put her arm around Pei Yu's shoulders silently and didn't say anything for a while.

Pei Yu hugged her tightly, thought for a while, and said, "But you won't do that."

With Shen Zhiyi's personality, such a situation would not occur. Even if he wanted to be a lover, he would not have the chance.

"That's not certain," Shen Zhiyi pondered the script for a long time. She was somewhat influenced by the character. She put herself in the script and imagined a situation. "If I met you after getting married, just like the character I'm auditioning for, who met someone who could really stir her emotions after getting married, facing the intersection of emotion and reality, I might not make a different choice from her."

The second female lead in the drama would rather be disgraced than divorced.

Pei Yu lowered his eyes and looked at her quietly for a moment, as if to see if she was telling the truth, with a smile on his lips, "Really?"

"Yeah," Shen Zhiyi wanted to coax him, so she was happy to say some sweet words, "Mr. Pei is very charming."

"I don't believe it." Pei Yu narrowed his eyes and ran his fingertips along her smooth hair. "You only know how to hide from me."

"I can hide," Shen Zhiyi admitted, "but I can't hide from you."

As long as Pei Yu wanted, he could always create various opportunities for the two to meet. Shen Zhiyi loved him now and felt that even if he changed the way of getting to know him, even if she really got to know him after marriage, she might not be able to resist.

Pei Yu's expression was gentle, with a slight smile in his voice, "Are you so confident in me?"

"Because I love you." Shen Zhiyi replied.

She loves him, and she would still love him in another way.

Pei Yu remained silent for a long time. He just twisted her hair around his fingertips, his eyes deep, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Why don't you say anything?" Shen Zhiyi was not very satisfied with his reaction. She rarely expressed her love without his request, but she didn't get a response and felt a little disappointed.

It's only been a short time, has this person already gotten tired of listening?

"Waiting for the time to come," Pei Yu glanced at the screen of his mobile phone and took off his glasses, "It's time."

He suddenly smiled, picked up Shen Zhiyi, and walked to the bedroom, "The two hours I gave you are over. Now the rest of your time belongs to me."

Shen Zhiyi just remembered this, but it was too late. She was placed on the soft big bed, her skirt lifted to her waist. As he touched her, a tingling sensation quickly spread deep into her body.

She panted a few times, "Have you been planning this for a long time?"

She didn't even notice.

"No," Pei Yu denied, kissing her lips, his words unclear, "You were the first one to say you loved me."

He had no choice but to respond with his own actions.
