Everyone was so moved and touched by Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+’s performance during her audition that the remaining performance paled in comparison.

In Lin Fengtian’s mind, he already had a candidate for the female lead.

When Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ exited the Music Department, she saw Xiao Xue waiting for her by the door. Xiao Xue rushed to the venue as soon as she heard of her best friend’s plan to audition. “s.h.i.+s.h.i.+!”

“Why are you here?” Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ was startled to see her there.

Xiao Xue was apparently still a bundle of nerves. “I called you and Youyou told me that you had come here to audition. I’m so worried…”

“What are you worried about?”

“You really came here to audition?” Xiao Xue asked anxiously.

“Yes. I auditioned for the female lead role in the ‘The Green Apple’ production.”

Xiao Xue only grew alarmed at her reply. “What?! Why didn’t you tell me earlier?!”

Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ looked amused but did not elaborate. “It was a last-minute decision. I just thought of giving it a try for fun.”

“Wow! Excellent! s.h.i.+s.h.i.+, I’m sure it will go well. You are pretty and have all the necessary qualities. I read that novel before and the first person I thought of that resembles that female protagonist is you! It’ll be a box-office hit if you are cast as the female lead. When that happens, you’ll be famous!”

Xiao Xue bubbled on and on until a thought suddenly struck her. Looking concerned, she seriously addressed her, “My father told me that the entertainment industry is shady and full of filth…”

“What’s there to be afraid of? You are here to protect me from bullies, right?” She beamed and patted Xiao Xue’s shoulder. The two were about to leave when someone called out to her from behind.

“s.h.i.+s.h.i.+!”

She looked over her shoulder and saw Gu Xingze and Lin Fengtian walking toward them. Gu Xingze was wearing a pristine white s.h.i.+rt with a matching pair of form-fitting dark trousers. The minimalist outfit accentuated his good looks.

His fans that were lying in wait outside the Music Department immediately sprung into action. Although Jinhua University stated explicitly that demerit points would be served if the students were discovered causing a disturbance during this audition period, this did not stop his zealous fanatics from doing anything.

“Xingze! Look; it’s Xingze!”

“Wow! He’s so handsome…”

“Oh, gosh… It’s unbelievable. I’m actually seeing him in person right now! Am I dreaming? Oh, my… Mom, mom, I’m currently seeing Xingze in the flesh…”

Xiao Xue, who was also scrutinizing this superstar at the moment, had to admit that this pretty boy looked better than most girls. Some were born to be idols, and Gu Xingze was one such person. In this regard, he was a true winner in life.

Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ was perturbed by the commotion around her, yet it did not seem to faze Gu Xingze at all. He smilingly took a few steps closer to her and asked in a hush tone, “Huanyu Entertainment will be hosting its yearly c.o.c.ktail party tomorrow night. Do you want to come?”

She was stunned. Was he inviting her to that important dinner party?

When he did not immediately get a response from her, he clarified, “I’d like to invite you to be my partner to this dinner party.”

Is he joking? He’s a famous superstar; why does he want an obscured and unknown person like me to be his female companion?

“I just finished auditioning, and the directors have yet to decide on the final candidate for the role, so I’m not really considered as an actress per se. Besides, I’m not qualified. I really don’t understand why you would want me to be your female companion in that important dinner party.” She subtly rejected his request.
