When Bai Yun heard this, she closed the car window again. She leaned her head against the car window and patted Du Qing’s seat. “This is called an appreciation of beauty. I just wanted to take a look because he’s good-looking, that’s all.” She sounded anxious.

Bai Yun seemed to see Chu Jiang’s mischievous smile in the ward reappear, mocking her for becoming dazed looking at an advertisement.

Driving in front, Du Qing did not notice this detail.

“Actually, there’s nothing wrong with liking Best Actor Chu. After all, he’s handsome, has good acting skills, and isn’t involved in any scandals. It’s said that his family background is also excellent. Such a persona only exists in novels.”

Stunned to hear this, Bai Yun responded softly with an “Mm.”. He was indeed the sort of character that existed in a novel. With his preordained destiny, he was fated to fall in love with the female lead and suffer a tragic ending.

Bai Yun looked away and stopped looking at the huge advertisement billboards.

She secretly made up her mind to stay away from the main characters. To change her ‘cannon fodder’ fate, she decided she just had to focus on herself.

After sending Bai Yun home, Du Qing wanted to rush home. She smiled shyly and said, “I’ve been with you for the past two days. My boyfriend is a bit angry, so I have to go back and coax him tonight.”

Seeing Du Qing’s sweet expression at the mention of her boyfriend, Bai Yun waved her hand and let her go.

She looked at Du Qing, who was bouncing up and down, and suddenly felt that all this was real. What she had come into contact with was no longer a character briefly mentioned in a book, but someone who was just as vivid as she was. Someone whose flaws and freckles she could even see clearly.

She lay back on the sofa and started reviewing the female lead’s career and relationships.

Bai Yun’s appearance had interrupted Chu Jiang and the female lead’s first meeting. The original plot was that after Chu Jiang saved the female lead in the clubhouse, in order to repay the female lead for saving Bai Yun, Chu Jiang handed her a script. Relying on that supporting role and love line with Chu Jiang, the female lead shot to fame in the industry.

Although she was only a supporting actress, she even faintly outshone the female lead of the drama.

Sigh, the female lead’s good-luck buff was really stacked full. Bai Yun wondered where their main storyline was going now.

Bai Yun turned around and her gaze landed on the script on the table. It was the script for the acting training class graduation. At the very least, her acting skills had to be good before President Li would give her the so-called audition opportunity.

Bai Yun flipped over and flipped to the first page of the script. It was a youthful drama, set in a high school campus. She rarely came into contact with such scripts. It was fine when she first debuted, but as she grew older, her temperament became brighter and more flamboyant. As a result, it was no longer suitable for her to play such a young role.

This time, the script was set in a campus.

It was also a good thing that the script this time wasn’t about youthful romance. Instead, it was about school violence, and her character was an abuser. The segment of the performance was about her pushing the victim down the stairs during a noisy break in class.

There being no lines, it was all physical. Also, it was a one-man show.

Bai Yun faced the mirror and stared coldly, trying to figure out the character’s emotions. What kind of background would a person who had been committing campus violence for a long time have? What kind of emotions?

Weak moral base, ego, indifference. And perhaps a shadowy environment.

As a rough silhouette slowly formed in her mind, her reflection gradually became bland. But there was nothing in those weary and calm eyes of hers—no rules, no nothing.

She gradually got into character. But all of a sudden, she was forced out of character by the vibration of her phone.

Bai Yun gritted her teeth and reached for her phone. It wasn’t easy for her to get into the mood, so her “hello” was still a little impatient.

The other end of the phone was strangely calm. Hearing no response, Bai Yun looked at the phone screen in confusion. Seeing that the caller had no caller id, she frowned and asked again in a softened voice this time, “Hello, who is this?”

After a few seconds of silence, someone sighed. “It’s me.” The clear voice came through the phone receiver, making Bai Yun’s heart itch. She seemed to have heard this pleasant voice somewhere before, but where?

The caller seemed to have guessed that Bai Yun had yet to recognize him. “… Chu Jiang.”

Realizing who it was, Bai Yun let out a long “Oh… the ex-husband!”

Chu Jiang rubbed his glabella, feeling a little annoyed.

They had indeed had very little interaction during their marriage. Still, they were not so unfamiliar with each other that the other party wouldn’t recognize his voice. However, he held in his annoyance and went straight to the point. “Are you free tomorrow?”
