Chapter 158 The awkward Qin Fang.

Shen Zhiyi was very nervous on the day of the audition, so nervous that she woke up before dawn. She wanted to read the script for a while, but was afraid of waking Pei Yu up, so she carefully moved his hand away from her waist.

Just as he sat up, Pei Yu's voice sounded behind him, "Where are you going?"

"Well," Shen Zhiyi didn't want him to know that she was going to read the script, "I'm going to the bathroom."

Pei Yu hummed and turned on the bedside lamp. "You tossed and turned in my arms for so long, just to go to the bathroom?"

"...You woke up a long time ago?" Shen Zhiyi had to confess, "I couldn't sleep, and wanted to read the script for a while longer."

Pei Yu pinched his brows and said with a smile, "So nervous? You have already prepared well enough for this audition."

"Dozens of people are auditioning for this role," Shen Zhiyi frowned slightly, looking worried, "I don't know if it will work."

She really liked the script and wanted to play the role.

"Don't worry," Pei Yu touched her cheek, "You will get what you want."

After looking up at him for a while, Shen Zhiyi took his hand and held it, whispering, "I'll say it again, you are not allowed to interfere."

Pei Yu chuckled, "I just have confidence in you. If you don't let me intervene, I won't do anything."

He threw back the quilt and got out of bed, "Let's go and look at the script with Miss Shen again."

"You don't have to accompany me." Shen Zhiyi knew that he had to go to the company in the morning, and quickly pulled him back. "You go to sleep. I don't need anyone to accompany me when I read the script."

Pei Yu lowered his eyes and looked at her, "You want me to sleep alone?"

Shen Zhiyi: "...Okay, I'll sleep with you."

She covered herself with the quilt again and was embraced by Pei Yu. After talking with him, she felt strangely calmer.

She had auditioned countless times before and had roles that she really wanted to play, but most of them ended in failure. Although she was disappointed at the time, she didn't care about it for too long. Perhaps it was because her life was going too smoothly now, and she was afraid of failure. This was really unlike her.

The audition was in the morning. Shen Zhiyi came out after more than ten minutes. Xiao Dong, who was waiting outside, asked hurriedly, "How was it?"

"Wait for notification," Shen Zhiyi looked much more relaxed. She was quite satisfied with her performance. Even if she didn't get the role in the end, she had nothing to regret.

There were still many people waiting for audition outside. Some of them knew Shen Zhiyi, so they chatted briefly with her.

"Xu Xia is here too," said the actress who was chatting with Shen Zhiyi, "She and I both auditioned for the third female role."

Looking in the direction she pointed, Shen Zhiyi indeed saw Xu Xia among them. They hadn't met for a while. Even when they attended the same event before, they had no interaction at all.

After meeting Shen Zhiyi’s gaze, Xu Xia walked over.

"Long time no see," she stopped calling him "Sister Zhiyi" and her attitude became more distant. "Are you here to audition for the second female role?"

Shen Zhiyi nodded indifferently, with no intention of responding.

"You still need to audition?" Xu Xia suddenly said, "Why don't you just tell that actor what role you want? Why doesn't he favor you that much anymore?"

There was a lot of aggression in the words, which stopped Shen Zhiyi who was about to leave. She turned around and looked into Xu Xia's eyes, "Is this all you can think of?"

"What?" Xu Xia was a little surprised by her unexpected calmness and frowned.

"I say," Shen Zhiyi said coldly, "You can only judge others by yourself. Do you think others are the same as you? Giving resources to a character is not a favor? It's charity."

She received a call from Pei Yu and said no more.

"My audition is over," Shen Zhiyi said as they walked away, "I'll come find you now."

Pei Yu was at the company headquarters. This was Shen Zhiyi's first time here. Secretary Qin led her to the reception room. "President Pei is in a meeting. It will be over soon."

Shen Zhiyi nodded, and after entering, he found that there was someone else inside, it was Qin Fang. Knowing that Qin Fang was not very optimistic about him, Shen Zhiyi did not try to please him, and directly found a seat to sit down, and casually opened the financial magazine on the coffee table.

Hmm, I don’t quite understand.

The reception room was quiet for a moment. Qin Fang observed Shen Zhiyi's movements with his peripheral vision while typing on his mobile phone.

[She ignored me! She didn't say a word to me! ]

Fu Songzhi was listening to his subordinates report on their work and took the time to say a few perfunctory words to him.

【Won't you speak first? 】

[Me? Oh, no, why should I talk to her first? I was the one who knew Pei Ge'er first!]

Fu Songzhi replied: [So? Were you the one who advised Pei Ge'er not to go back to her? Were you the one who thought Shen Zhiyi stole Pei Ge'er? ]

He said: [You deserve Shen Zhiyi to ignore you. ]

Qin Fang: “…”

Shen Zhiyi read a magazine for a while and received a message from Qin Xiaoran.

"Sister Zhiyi, please take care of Qin Fang. He's almost suffocating."

All the complaints were directed to her.

Shen Zhiyi laughed. What the hell? This guy had a stern face, as if someone owed him money. But he was trying hard to act cool?
After all, he was Pei Yu's good friend and not a bad person, so Shen Zhiyi gave Qin Fang a way out.

"What do you want to do with Pei Yu?"

Qin Fang glanced at her and said awkwardly, "Ask Pei Ge'er to play golf, but if you come, he will definitely not go with me."

It sounded like he was jealous. Shen Zhiyi couldn't help laughing, "Why don't you leave?"

Are you still standing here in the cold war with her?
"You're chasing me away?!" Qin Fang was instantly furious, "Shen Zhiyi, don't be so arrogant. I've known Pei Ge'er for several years before you—"

"Qin Fang."

Pei Yu stood at the door and called his name coldly. Qin Fang instantly became silent as if his neck was strangled.

"Uh," Qin Fang said weakly, "Actually, I was, uh, was--"

"Declaring sovereignty," Shen Zhiyi smiled, "He seems to think I stole you away."

"..." Pei Yu was helpless and speechless about her choice of words, "Ignore him."

He gave Qin Fang a warning look, and without asking him what he wanted to do, he ordered him to leave, "Why don't you leave?"

Qin Fang: “…”

He stood up angrily, "I shouldn't have come today."

Who knew I would bump into Shen Zhiyi? Isn't he an actor? Why isn't he on the set?
"Wait," Shen Zhiyi stopped him, stood up and said, "Aren't we going to play golf? Do you mind if I join you?"

Qin Fang looked over blankly, "You want to go?"

What is this person planning?
"Yeah," Shen Zhiyi suggestively pulled Pei Yu's sleeve. The latter was silent for a few seconds and could only nod under her expectant gaze.

"go together."

It's just one less opportunity for the two of them to be alone together, it's not a big deal.
