Ran Fei sits on a chair and looks ahead with a blush. He is excited.
“How did you get in?” Ran Fei beckons to the doorway, “Come here! Here’s a good thing.”
But in the next second, Ran Fei shouts angrily, “Are you crazy? This is my new computer. You’ve splashed water on it? You must compensate me for it!”
“I don’t care! Bumpkin! Compensate me for my computer!” Ran Fei roars with red-rimmed eyes and seems terribly angry.
Someone next to him says something. Ran Fei suddenly laughs, and then tries to keep a straight face, “Get away! Give me the money immediately after you get your salary.”
Ran Fei is the same the tech geek for auditions as Bo Yu. The challenging part is that when the tech geek secretly watches adult video in the room, he is found out by old-fashioned pedant who, by his own moral standard, is outraged and pours water all over the newly purchased computer.
Bo Yu glances at Director Wang and finds that the director and the writer nod frequently. They seem satisfied with Ran Fei’s performance. Bo Yu cannot help feeling fearful and nervous.
Ran Fei ends the performance, with his red-rims still red and a slight complacent expression.
“My predecessor, excuse me for making a fool of myself.” Ran Fei goes back to his seat and says to Bo Yu, “You are not embarrassed about my performance, right?”
Bo Yu smiles but says nothing and takes it easy.
Ran Fei lowers his eyes. Bo Yu is contemptuous of him?
“Bo Yu, you try it.” Director Wang considers Ran Fei’s performance and says.
Bo Yu walks over, nods, and quickly gets into character. His mouth opens slightly: “You...”
“Wait!” Ran Fei interrupts him, “Mr. Bo is my predecessor. To be fair, he should audition the same part with me.”
It is very impolite that Ran Fei interrupts Bo Yu when he gets into character.
Director Wang instantly looks surly with complicated eyes, but he doesn’t swear.
Bo Yu coldly glances at Ran Fei, and a trace of anger flashes through his eyes.
Director Wang and the writer look at each other and have the same opinion in the mind. Director Wang coughs and says, “Bo Yu, or...”
“Director Wang, I’ll try it.” Bo Yu takes a deep breath and says to Ran Fei who is complacent, “A predecessor should make concessions to a trainee.”
Ran Fei is too embarrassed to rejoin.
Bo Yu puts aside his own feelings and goes into character again.
Bo Yu has a gentle, distinguished and elegant temperament with the handsome appearance and good manners. But Ran Fei looks like a beautiful young boy with the femininity of the cream boy.
The role of the tech geek is a new daddy. So, Bo Yu is more suitable for it from the aspect of appearance.
As for acting skills, although Ran Fei is mediocre, it is enough to play the role of the tech geek.
Bo Yu sits on a chair with bright eyes, his lip compressed a little, a slight flush, and he gradually gasps for breath, looking very excited.
The performance of Bo Yu catches the eyes of Director Wang and the writer. They unconsciously clench their hands into fists and watch him without blinking eyes.
Bo Yu tilts his head and his black loose hair with an innocent look. He licks his lips and excitedly points at the front with a seductive smile. “Just downloaded the video. Let’s watch it together?”
But in the next second, his face changes dramatically, murmuring, “My God, my Sora Aoi, what did you do...”
“My Sora Aoi, my torrents, my videos, my games! …You must compensate me!” Bo Yu puts his hands in the air and sways violently.
Feeling angry for a moment, Bo Yu laughs as if he heard jokes. He closely puts his arms on the shoulders of the visitor and excitedly strokes with his hands.
Director Wang keeps on nodding with satisfaction, as if he has made a decision.
Ran Fei lowers the head with angry red-rimmed eyes, trembling hands and clenched teeth.
Bo Yu is just a has-been. What qualifications does he have to compete with him for the tech geek?
Bo Yu comes out of the toilet cubicle and sees Ran Fei standing in front of the sink to wash his hands. Bo Yu then walks over and washes his hands as if nothing happened.
Ran Fei says with red-rimmed eyes, “My predecessor, I really like the role.”
“Oh?” Bo Yu does not get his implication.
“If my predecessor wants to act in TV series, you must have many better opportunities. Why do you have to grab the role from me?” Ran Fei points at Bo Yu and says in an aggrieved way. “Can’t my predecessor quit and give me the role?”
“A brave hero always wins the fiercest competition. Why should I give the role to you?” Bo Yu draws a tissue from the side and wipes his hands with the unchanged countenance and indifferent expression, “A trainee should have the consciousness of a trainee.”
“My predecessor, you are too selfish.” Ran Fei is almost mad; otherwise he doesn’t say that regardless of the occasion, “It is just the third supporting male role. My predecessor, you are so stingy!”
Bo Yu thinks that it is so ridiculous. According to Ran Fei’s opinion, the behavior that he refuses to give the role to Ran Fei is too selfish?
Ran Fei feels more and more angry when he finds that Bo Yu ignores him. Ran Fei stares at Bo Yu, grabs his wrist where his nails are embedded in, leaving some imprints of fingernails.
“Bo Yu, both of us work in the Tingfeng Agency. And we will meet every day. Can’t you give me the role?”
Feeling painful, Bo Yu shakes off Ran Fei’s hands with cold eyes, and turns away.
He has nothing to say to such a person who has different values.
However, still unwilling to give up, Ran Fei braces against the door in order to prevent Bo Yu from leaving, and stretches his neck, “Bo Yu.”
Bo Yu thinks that even Buddha cannot bear Ran Fei any longer, because this trainee challenges his limitation of tolerance again and again. Bo Yu grabs Ran Fei’s collar and says in a low voice and bleak tone, “Don’t make me angry.”
