A small crowd was in the audition room, Qi Le An saw Wei Chang Feng entering the room and he noticed Wei Chang Feng was looking at him as well. Qi Le An couldn’t help but square his shoulders to leave a good impression on them. Qi Le An took a deep breath to overcome his nervousness.

Wei Chang Feng winked at Qi Le An, Qi Le An was amused by this childish behavior. With that Qi Le An greeted everyone in the room, to Qi Le An’s surprise, he saw a fan of his sitting behind Director Chen and smiling at him.

It was Tong who sent him the screenplay and asked him for a signature.

“All right, An, shall we begin?”

Qi Le An nodded.

With that, the cameras were turned on and Qi Le An walked to the little box to draw lots for the scenes that he was going to play. Qi Le An’s heart sank when he saw the contents on the paper.

They had prepared three plots in total, the first one was a scene where Susan knocked on the door to given them some fresh cherries, both Xing and his younger male cousin Cheng were excited to see her, but Xing told the younger cousin to do his homework and Xing opened the door to receive Susan. Younger cousin eavesdropped on Xing and Susan’s talk and he found out Xing had a crush on Susan.

The second was the elder female cousin Hua asked about Xing’s whereabouts, younger male cousin Cheng tried to hide the fact that Xing went to see Susan.

The third was a scene where the younger male cousin Cheng made some spicy jokes on seeing Susan’s receding figure and Xing threw him a punch and threatened him to watch his mouth.

Qi Le An had got the third scene, the one he deemed the most difficult, the anger and the punch both needed to look convincing.

Qi Le An handed the paper to Director Chen, Director Chen and showed it to others in the room as well.

“An, you can ask for a partner to play Xing,” said Director Chen.

“I can be his partner.” Wei Chang Feng volunteered.

Everyone turned around and gazed at Wei Chang Feng in amazement, for there were actors who were standing by in the other room to help out.

Director Chen and Tong were the only ones who knew Qi Le An and Wei Chang Feng were friends, they just showed a subtle smile.

“It’s a great opportunity to show Director Chen I’m the perfect Xing.” Wei Chang Feng made a joke.

Everyone chuckled, they had no idea the Film Emperor could be this humorous.

Qi Le An’s heart fluttered as he heard what Wei Chang Feng just said, he watched Wei Chang Feng walking towards him step by step with his heart pounding.

“Nervous?” Wei Chang Feng asked.

Qi Le An and Wei Chang Feng were standing so close, Qi Le An could even feel Wei Chang Feng’s breath when he asked him whether he was nervous.

Qi Le An blushed and nodded.

The ‘audience’ didn’t hear that but they did have noticed how blushed Qi Le An was.

“Don’t be, I will try my best to be your partner.” Wei Chang Feng’s voice sounded so soothing.

Qi Le An took a few deep breaths and together the two nodded at Director Chen, signaling to Director Chen that they were ready.

“Starting in 3, 2, 1!”

With that Qi Le An noticed Wei Chang Feng looked like a completely different person on Director Chen’s cue.
