Huayu: Little Flower, please place your order.

Chapter 88: An Unforgettable Audition

The speaker was none other than Old Wang, Meng Ziyi's greatest nemesis, who walked out of the room.

However, he wasn't speaking to Meng Ziyi, but to Li Yitong.

Originally, Li Yitong was cast as the female lead in "Mercury Chronicles," but Li Mo changed his mind and there wasn't enough room for her, so they decided to have the two of them compete for the role.

However, things took a turn for the better today.

Bai Lu was unable to act in "The Continent," which conveniently opened up a spot for Li Yitong.

So, upon receiving the news, Li Yitong decided not to waste any more time and planned to leave.

Old Wang and Li Yitong had gotten to know each other after their previous collaboration, and when Old Wang learned that she was leaving, he insisted on seeing her off.

As for whether he wanted to provoke Meng Ziyi... that remains to be seen.

Upon hearing this voice, Meng Ziyi felt a bit jolted and instinctively assumed that the person was there to mock him.

So, he decided to strike first and, with red eyes, turned around to start cursing, looking like he was ready to go all out.

"Who said we're old friends? How can you be so shameless? You scumbag! I wish I could..."

"I…"

Just as Meng Ziyi was enjoying his rant, he turned around and saw... another very pretty and cute girl standing up, about to respond enthusiastically to Lao Wang.

Meng Ziyi's voice was quite loud, and the room immediately fell silent as everyone looked at her.

Nobody knows what happened.

What's wrong with this pretty little girl?

Not only did everyone else not understand, but even her companion Wang Feier was confused and felt awkward along with them.

Wait... what the heck is this... who starts by cursing the organizers right away?!

However, she was still loyal and didn't pretend not to know Meng Ziyi, but instead tried to smooth things over.

"Haha...she's not like this in private...she's quite normal in private...hehe..."

However, Old Wang seemed not to recognize Meng Ziyi, and didn't even glance at her.

After dropping Li Yitong off, on his way back to his room, as he passed Meng Ziyi, Old Wang finally spoke his first words.

"Ahem... Miss, if you're leaving or going in for your interview, please do so as quickly as possible! Don't stand here in the way, thank you!"

Oh right, were you referring to me just now?

I don't know where I offended you. After all, I see so many people every day, and you... I really don't remember!

After saying all that, Old Wang went back to his room by himself, and only when he was alone did he show a smile.

"This move, this move is called 'retreating to advance,' you should learn it!"

From childhood to adulthood, Meng Ziyi was always the center of attention wherever he went because of his good looks, good family background, and parental pampering.

This was the first time she had experienced being ignored.

Even though you hate the other person to death, they don't even give you a second glance.

It was as if I was just a passerby in his life, and he didn't take me seriously at all!

It turns out I was just being overly sensitive...

It turns out, they didn't need to remember an unknown nobody at all...

"Ziyi, shall we go? You don't look well today," Wang Feier said with concern.

"No! Where are you going? I'm going!"

Having figured these things out, Meng Ziyi was no longer so timid and hesitant; the indomitable spirit inherent in this northern girl resurfaced.

Fear? That's impossible!

"Wang Feier, it's your turn! Hurry up! Meng Ziyi is next!"

Hearing the urging from the other end, Meng Ziyi gestured to her best friend Wang Feier to hurry up and go!

Watching Wang Feier's departing figure, Meng Ziyi's resolve grew stronger.

I must try my best this time!

Soon, five minutes later, Wang Feier came out looking dejected, it seemed the result wasn't good!

"come on!"

As Meng Ziyi went inside, Wang Feier encouraged her, and Meng Ziyi nodded firmly.

The room inside wasn't large, and three people were sitting behind a long table.

Meng Ziyi doesn't know him, and neither Lao Wang nor Li Mo are here.

"Hello everyone, I am Meng Ziyi, a student from the Performance Department of Taipei Film Academy."

Meng Ziyi walked to the center of the room, bowed slightly, and introduced himself to everyone.

The three of them held up the photos and looked at the person in them, a hint of admiration flashing in their eyes.

It looks really good.

"What year are you in? How are your studies going?"

"I'm a freshman, and my studies have been going quite well lately."

"What are your hobbies?"

"Hmm... I like acting... taking photos..."

"Don't you like singing?"

"I like it, but you probably don't like me singing!"

...

"Let's try out a scene and get a feel for it."

Actually, the audition process for music videos is quite simple: a self-introduction, a few simple questions, then walking a short distance or dancing a short dance to show off your figure or something.

After all, it's just a music video. Even if it's Li Mo's music video, it's still just a music video.

It doesn't require too much expertise.

If Li Mo hadn't specifically instructed that a scene be added, this segment wouldn't normally be included.

"Then try out any crying scene first!"

Meng Ziyi then began to ponder, when "ding-dong~" the phone of the judge sitting in the middle of the three judges rang.

"Wait a moment, Meng Ziyi."

"what?"

"I'd like to change the audition content. Let's say you're a male singer who's somewhat famous but not very well-known."

By chance, you have a magical encounter with an ordinary person, and you fall in love with her. You love her very much, and she loves you very much too.

You were deeply in love, but when your company discovered this love, they forced you to break up with them.

So you secretly vowed that when you reach the peak of your career, you must find that girl again and get back together with her.

Now, suppose you coincidentally run into that girl again. Please act out this scenario!

"Hi, I'd like to ask, what's the name of the song in this music video?"

"Mercury!"

Mencius's meaning: ? ? ?

...

The audition for the music video is over, and unsurprisingly, Meng Zi won the job.

On the way back, she didn't go the same way as Wang Feier. She was a little confused and didn't understand why Li Mo did this.

It's true that Li Mo brought up that audition story, but why did he bring it up at this time?

And why this song? He must know how significant this song is to Meng Ziyi.

Moreover, you should know that the so-called audition is to get into the character's mind. Is he telling me this in the hope that I can think from his perspective?

A thousand words were stuck in her heart, and for a moment she didn't know what to do.

Meng Ziyi sat alone on the flower bed and sighed unconsciously.

Filled with questions, Meng Ziyi had a sudden thought, took out his phone, and tapped on the person he hadn't contacted in a long time.

"Where are you now?"

Meanwhile, Li Mo, who was still staying at the Peninsula Hotel, received a message notification on his phone.

Li Mo stared at the line of text on the screen, paused for a moment, and then slowly smiled.

It seems our story is about to move to the next chapter. Li Mo then typed a reply:

"exist."

Meng Ziyi replied immediately:

"Give me your address, let's meet! Some things need to be made clear."

"it is good."

After replying with an "OK", Li Mo sent the hotel room number as well. He put down his phone and glanced at himself.

He had just taken a shower and was wearing his pajamas; his hair was still a little damp.

He stood up, changed into a clean T-shirt, and took out a towel to dry his hair.

Li Mo loved standing by the window, watching the night view of Beijing, looking at the distant China World Trade Center, the CBD…

This habit isn't recent; it's always been there, only the location wasn't as good as it is now.

However, Li Mo didn't have time to waste here today. He skillfully drew the curtains, leaving not a single gap.

About half an hour later, the doorbell rang.

Li Mo got up, walked over, and opened the door.

Meng Ziyi stood outside the door; she had come dressed in her battle armor!

She was no longer dressed the same way she did during the daytime audition; now she was wearing a black, tight-fitting dress that reached just to the mid-thigh.

She was very generous to Li Mo, with her neckline low, revealing her collarbone and shoulders.

Of course, he was only being generous to Li Mo. He was wearing a long beige trench coat over his clothes, which gave him a bit of a spy movie vibe.

Looking down, one sees a pair of stiletto heels on her feet, which make her fair and slender legs appear even longer.

Top-notch feet~

High arches, cherries, red-soled high heels!

Meng Ziyi possessed all three essential elements of a top-tier footwork.

The eyeshadow was a light pink, the lip color was a moist bean paste, and the eyelashes were curled like two small fans.

She stood in the hallway, looking at him.

Something very complicated appeared in her eyes.

Whether she was nervous or excited, she wasn't good at hiding her emotions, and that's why Li Mo was able to easily perceive the changes.

Li Mo stepped aside: "Come in."

Mencius walked in.

The high heels clicked crisply on the floor. Her gaze swept across the room, but finally settled on Li Mo.

"It's not as good as the hotel we stayed at the other day."

Li Mo nodded, but offered a different opinion: "Really? I felt it was better than that day!"

Meng Ziyi's eyes remained fixed on Li Mo. "Do you want to know why?"

Why?

"Because I'll never like you as much as I did that day... Because I won't like you that much anymore, nothing I do today will ever compare to everything I did that day!"

As Meng Ziyi spoke, his eyes reddened, and he squatted down. His tone was firm, but the more firm it was, the stronger the sense of heartbreak became.

Li Mo remained silent, then slowly knelt down and gently wiped away her tears with her warm hands.

"Then do you know why I said today's is better than that day's?" Li Mo cupped her face in his hands. Meng Ziyi's face was very small, and Li Mo's hands covered her face.

"Because I have the same reason as you! I like you even more than I did that day..."

Meng Ziyi burst into tears instantly, her little fists clenching against Li Mo's chest.

Such a scene from a good idol drama... Such lines from a good idol drama!

Actually, Li Mo himself got goosebumps, but Meng Ziyi is only a freshman this year.

For a generation that grew up under the influence of Korean dramas and idol dramas, which girl doesn't have a few Mary Sue stories in her heart?

You should know that the Korean Peninsula is the birthplace of Korean dramas. If you take a walk around the streets of the peninsula, you can actually find some young couples arguing like they do in Korean dramas.

The majority of them are young people, and the younger they are, the higher the proportion of them doing this.

"During the time I can't see you, I often check your news, but I can't go to see you. Since I've already decided to make a move, I won't selfishly give up any opportunities because of this little thing between us!"

"Do you know how much effort I put in to get this opportunity for you!"

Li Mo withdrew his previous gentleness, and his tone became very serious!

What he wanted to express was very simple: everything I do is for your growth. You can love me, hate me, resent me, but you have to set an example for me.

As Li Mo was speaking, Meng Ziyi suddenly leaned over.

He kissed me.

Her lips were still so soft, and still trembling slightly.

"You didn't reject me."

Once Meng Ziyi understood Li Mo's meaning, her mind cleared instantly, and the remaining tears in her eyes made her eyes sparkle.

"I understand. I'll work harder in the future. Let's make a promise: let's focus on our careers first, and meet again at the top... then we'll get back together."

"We agreed to meet at the summit, so what are you doing now?"

Li Mo pointed to the patch of snow-white skin that Meng Ziyi had revealed.

"Not a combination... but it's possible..."

Upon hearing this, Li Mo no longer hesitated, raised his hand, and put his arm around her waist.

Meng Ziyi looked down at him, her heart pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her chest—a feeling unique to Li Mo.

"Have you thought it through?"

Meng Ziyi nodded without hesitation.

"I've made up my mind."

Her voice was soft, but her tone was firm; she needed to let loose after overcoming her inner demons.

Meng Ziyi's body trembled slightly, then she went limp in his arms.

The kiss deepened, and Meng Ziyi gripped Li Mo's shoulders tightly, as if she had found her only support.

It was a long time before the two parted ways.

Separation is not the end, but another beginning.

Li Mo reached out and picked her up, then walked to the bedside and put her down.

"Wait... I haven't taken my shoes off yet..."

Mencius noticed that Li Mo wanted him to step directly onto the bed and reminded him that he hadn't taken off his shoes yet.

"Wear it, it'll be useful in a bit!"

Upon hearing this, Meng Ziyi quickly lowered his face, his ears turning bright red.

Then the door closed…

...

I don't know how much time passed.

Meng Ziyi nestled in Li Mo's arms, her dress in disarray, but she didn't care at all. She turned her head to look at Li Mo.

"MoMo, we'll get married in the end, right? It'll have a future, right?"

Li Mo thought for a moment, then asked a sincere question in a joking tone:

"Just the two of us?"

Meng Ziyi smacked him hard, "Always joking around!"

Her tone was full of coquettishness, and Li Mo didn't explain, but just hugged her tighter.

"Go to sleep!"

Looking out the window, the lights on the buildings of the Foreign Trade Center and CBD have gradually been turned off.

But day or night, this city is never short of stories; some are stories of suffering, some are Mary Sue tales, and some are tales of struggle…

As for which category the story between Li Mo and Meng Ziyi belongs to, no one will know.

Sometimes, Li Mo wondered, what was the starting point of all of this?

Each commission leads Li Mo's relationship with them to an unknown end, a precipice or a road to heaven...

Li Mo has become a bit greedy!
