Her heart was still pounding, her head filled with shi+ning i Nanchuan
His soft, dark hair The way his lightly colored lips lifted up And that teardrop rained into her mind
Pei Ying gloomily covered her face with her hands She’d onlylike such a fool? Really obsessed with appearances
While she was reflecting on herself, the phone in her bag started ringing, playing that
Pei Ying grabbed her bag and turned it out to find her phone The name ‘Ren Shanshan’ was lit up on the screen
“What is it?” she asked lazily as she answered the phone
Ren Shanshan see and some of her words were unclear as she asked, “Hoas yourwith the director?”
Being reetting the part”
“Why, did you offend the director again?”
“Of course not It’s CEO Zhu, one of the investors for the series”
From that short sentence, Ren Shanshan could already fill in the blanks as if it were a modern melodrama series “Oh, did this CEO Zhu try to proposition you, only to have his enthusiasm be met by your cold ass?”
Pei Ying, “…”
Did Ren Shanshan have to be so vulgar with her words?
Before she could say anything, Ren Shanshan started to lecture her again “But really though, you’re an adult Who are you trying to act so fresh and pure for? And let’s face it, your face and body don’t really fit the innocent io all the way Endure it a bit and it’s over That’s how the industry works”
Pei Ying furrowed her delicate brows Her voice was sickly when she responded, “I get what you’re saying, but everyone has their own bottom line You think that it’s okay to be felt up a bit, but I’m not okay with it And you didn’t see what CEO Zhu looked like If you were looking at him, you wouldn’t be able to endure it”
“…” Ren Shanshan was silent for a bit Then, “Pei Pei ah, those who are obsessed with looks don’t have a future ahead of them”
Pei Ying pursed her lips Then she sat up from her bed and asked excitedly, “Guess who else was at dinner”
“Who?”
“Song Nanchuan!”
Ren Shanshan raised her eyebrows “The third Song prince? I’ve seen him before, really handsome Did he feel you up too?”
“…Don’twas a perfect gentleman Not only did he help me out at dinner, he even sent me home”
“Ho in your bathrooht now, is he? Go over and let me hear the water”
Pei Ying, “…”
There were a few days every month that she really wanted to break off their friendshi+p
“I already told you, he’s someone with principles After he sent me home, he left”
“Eyy…” Ren Shanshan dragged out, as if considering things “I think he’s putting out bait to catch a big fish An expert, if you will”
“…Stop thinking that everyone is as immoral as you”
Ren Shanshan tsked with disdain “Well, on the way back, you ht?”
“…No” Pei Ying felt sorets as she spoke “We didn’t even talk on the way back I didn’t knohat to talk to him about”
“What else is there to talk about, you talk about love!” (Note: The word by word translation of dating is to ‘talk about love’)
“…Bye” Pei Ying hung up the phone
She tossed her phone to the side, got up, and went to take a shower When she came out of the bathroom, her mood still hadn’t recovered She laid down quietly for a bit, and then put on her headphones and found a song to listen to
All the songs on this playlist were classicalfelt troubled, she would listen to this list, and this tiradually calmed, and she eventually fell asleep

When she opened her eyes the next h theThechecked her phone and saw that it had already shut off
She pulled out her charger fro, she received a notification for a missed call
It was Chen Sheng
Pei Ying didn’t want to delay after getting a call from the boss, so she quickly called hiht to the point “It’s like this The production said that your appearance doesn’t really fit Tang Feifei’s character, so they decided to find someone else for the part”
“Oh…” Pei Ying wasn’t surprised by this outco disappointed
Hearing her voice fall, Chen Sheng said, “Xiao Pei, I heard about what happened last night fros that can’t be helped With your qualifications, if you just opened up a bit, you’d have gotten fao”
