As soon as Ruan Tingyi walked through the door and saw Qi Feng waiting for her return, all her previous excitement vanished.
"Where have you been?" Qi Feng approached Ruan Tingyi and then frowned, "Why do you smell so fragrant? What did you eat?"
"I didn’t eat anything," Ruan Tingyi denied flatly.
"Come over here, step on it," Qi Feng said with a stern face, taking out the scale.
Ruan Tingyi widened her eyes; is this even a thing?
"Get on it!" Qi Feng commanded coldly.
Ugh... Ruan Tingyi climbed onto the scale sadly.
Qi Feng took one look and his face turned as dark as a pot bottom: "You’ve gained a full 1.5 kilograms! How much did you eat?"
"I didn’t eat that much; I also drank a lot of juice. After I relieve myself tomorrow, I won’t weigh this much," Ruan Tingyi quickly defended herself.
Qi Feng felt like covering his face.
There’s just one letter difference between a goddess and a neurotic; how much effort did he spend for that one-letter difference? Yet sometimes you just can’t hide the latter.
"Go walk on the treadmill for half an hour later. There’s an audition tomorrow; the role is quite good. Although it’s said to be a supporting role, it’s actually more like a co-lead, and your character is more appealing," Qi Feng said reluctantly, "Barring any surprises, you should be able to secure this role. I don’t want the situation where you pass the audition, but when it comes to fitting into the costume, you can’t, thus forcing you to give up the role."
"It can’t be that bad?" Ruan Tingyi muttered, "Even if I gained a little weight, it shouldn’t cause me to lose the role, right?"
"The director wants an ethereal Banished Immortal, have you ever seen a chubby fairy?" Qi Feng almost lamented.
"Alright, alright, I get it. I’ll definitely control my mouth," Ruan Tingyi promised.
"I’m going to take a shower and sleep; remember to walk on the treadmill to digest before you sleep," Qi Feng said as he turned to go upstairs.
"Hey, old Qi, why is this role appealing? Is there a script? Let me take a look," Ruan Tingyi called out.
"Because she dies at the end." Qi Feng turned his head, speaking chillingly, "There’s no complete script, just an introduction to her identity along with her basic emotional line and ending. I placed it on the coffee table; check it yourself."
Ruan Tingyi choked, feeling a chill down her spine. Oh Qi, are you so ruthless that a woman would really like you?
The next day, Ruan Tingyi arrived at the audition site where some people were already waiting. Some were familiar faces. Seems like this drama might actually be quite good? Ruan Tingyi never worried about her role; Qi Feng took care of and arranged everything for her. When Qi Feng said to audition, she auditioned; whichever variety show Qi Feng joined, she’d appear in it.
And somehow she seemed to have become popular? Anyway, the old man was indeed impressive.
Ruan Tingyi started to ponder; who was the director of this drama again? Ah, she hadn’t paid attention. Oh well, since it’s a resource found by the old man, it can’t be wrong.
Ruan Tingyi sat down and greeted the person beside her. The person next to her was a male actor she collaborated with last time. He wasn’t old but had decent acting skills; his name was Lu Anchen. He had the looks, belonged to the handsome and restrained type, but his role last time didn’t have much screen time and wasn’t likeable, so he wasn’t popular.
"Sister Ru, are you auditioning for the female lead this time?" Lu Anchen asked quietly.
"No, for the second female lead." Ruan Tingyi responded softly.
"I was a bit surprised to see you here, Sister Ru," Lu Anchen said.
"Oh?" Ruan Tingyi was somewhat puzzled.
