Ye Mu laid flat on the bed. Just as she was about to turn around to take a look at Mo Shen who was beside her, he suddenly moved his hand over and embraced her with his arm, making her stiff and afraid to move.

Mo Shen saw how nervous she was and his thin lips curled into a teasing smile. He tightened his arm around her and she was in his arms, unable to move an inch.

He only took her to his embrace and didn’t do anything else. Ye Mu’s senses were inundated by the fresh smell from his body, relieving her palpitating heart. She laid comfortably in his arms and soon enough, there were no more movements.

Tonight, Ye Mu had the most peaceful sleep she had in half a year.

The next morning, she went to school as usual and the moment she appeared in the changing room, Yan Shun’er pushed open the door and walked into the room.

“You seem to have come to the wrong place, this is the changing room for the supporting role.” Ye Mu was putting on her performance costume. She glanced at Yan Shun’er for a moment before she continued to do what she was doing.

Yan Shun’er’s eyes were burning in rage. She gritted her teeth and pointed at Ye Mu, “Ye Mu! Don’t think that you’re amazing just because you got an investor! Let me tell you, with how you’ve treated me today, I will definitely return everything to you a thousandfold!”

“What are you talking about?” Ye Mu turned to look at Yan Shun’er in doubt. What is she talking about?

“Still pretending?” Yan Shun’er snorted and mocked, “Do you think just because I am dealt with by the school, I won’t be able to become popular after being unable to get my graduation certificate? You are wrong… I have connections.”

“You may not know, but I have already accepted the main female lead for the three drama series. Compared to you little shrimp? Who’s the final winner?”

Ye Mu frowned. She was increasingly unable to comprehend what Yan Shun’er was talking about, “Are you done showing off, yet? If you’re done, can you leave now? I’m still trying to change.”

“You…” Yan Shun’er raised her hand at Ye Mu in impulse, but she suddenly thought of something and she did not dare to move her hand. Instead, her eyes became filled with horror and she took her hand back begrudgingly.

She coldly stared at Ye Mu before walking out of the changing room.

The last rehearsal occurred in the afternoon. During the rehearsal, Ye Mu was worried and anxious. It was because this last rehearsal would end by nine o’clock. She had an audition at half-past seven the same evening, so she was worried that she could not make it.

During the break, Ye Mu kept checking the time on her mobile phone. Yang Jiajia passed a bottle of mineral water to Ye Mu and asked her in surprise, “Do you have something on today? Why are you always checking the time?”

“Yea, I have to go for the ‘Beacon Heroes’ audition tonight,” Ye Mu took a deep breath. It was a little rushed but she was also unable to leave.

Lin Feifei’s eyes widened and she looked at Ye Mu in surprise, “Oh, you’re talking about the drama where all the male actors are of Heavenly-King status and their audition is held across the country for the actresses?”

Ye Mu smiled at Yang Jiajia, “Yes, that’s the one.”

“Strange, didn’t you say you won’t step into the entertainment industry after graduating?”

Hearing Yang Jiajia’s words, Ye Mu’s smile turned slightly stiff and her expressions dampened a little.

She said those words because she thought that she could marry Gu Yiming upon graduation.

Gu Yiming’s mother did not like her daughter-in-law to be part of the entertainment industry, so she didn’t want to enter the industry. Even though she loved being an actress, she was willing to put everything down for Gu Yiming. However… now that she didn’t have to choose between the two, she decided to choose her career!

“I changed my mind. Since I like it, I will continue doing it.” Ye Mu took a few deep breaths and smiled at Yang Jiajia with sincerity.

Yang Jiajia nodded at Ye Mu and encouraged her, “You are so good at acting, you will definitely become famous! All the best!”

Just as they were talking, Yan Shun’er walked past the two of them and snorted at what Yang Jiajia said.

“Che.” Yang Jiajia snorted at Yan Shun’er lightly in discourteous, “You were caught doing something wrong and yet you still have this bad attitude. Do you really think you’re a celestial body—that everyone must revolve around you?”

“What happened to Yan Shun’er?” Ye Mu couldn’t understand what mistake Yan Shun’er had made.

Yang Jiajia lowered her voice and asked Ye Mu, “You don’t know?”

“She was unlucky enough. Yesterday, she was caught by the school’s surveillance camera when she bullied you at the entrance of the washroom. The dean issued a punishment and said her bachelor’s degree and graduation certificate is detained,” explained Yang Jiajia as she saw Ye Mu’s look of confusion. Feeling as if Ye Mu’s feud had been avenged, she added, “She deserves it! It feels so good!”

After listening, Ye Mu could not help but frown.

When did the person in charge of monitoring the surveillance cameras become so dedicated? Even reporting these matters between students to the school. Also, when did the dean begin to value her so much?

In her four years of college, Yan Shun’er had bullied quite a number of people and it was common for them to bleed from getting beaten up by her and her lackeys.

However, Ye Mu was unscathed… yet why did the dean suddenly deal with it in such a heavy manner?

“Ye Mu, it is your turn!”

Ye Mu who was deep in thought heard the teacher’s reminder and quickly stood up, putting aside her doubts temporarily, she walked over to the teacher, “Coming.”

After the last rehearsal ended, it was already ten o’clock at night. Ye Mu was exhausted, but she still hastened her pace and walked out of the school gate.

“It’s so late, why are you still here?” Ye Mu stood at the school gate looking at Mo Shen who had been waiting for her. She asked in surprise, “Didn’t I give you a call?”

She had to go for the audition tonight, so the morning before she left the mansion, she told Mo Shen that he should not bother coming to pick her up.

“Get in the car… the weather is a bit cold, don’t freeze.” Mo Shen’s eyebrows knitted upon seeing her wear such thin clothes. He gestured for her to get into the car as he opened the door for her to sit inside.

After the both of them got into the car, Ye Mu took a look at her watch and told Mo Shen a little anxiously, “Can you send me to the audition? I’m afraid that it’s too late.”

“Address?” Mo Shen asked and started the car.

Ye Mu informed him of the address and leaned her back against the seat next to the driver’s.

She muttered to herself in worry, “Can I still make it in time?”

The audition begins at half-past seven, it’s already ten o’clock… is it still ongoing perhaps?

Upon arriving, Ye Mu got out of the car and walked towards the lobby in a hurry, her back facing Mo Shen as she said, “I’ll go and take a look to see if it’s over.”

Mo Shen sat in the car and looked at her back.

He took out his mobile phone and made a phone call.

When Ye Mu went in, the staff members were already packing up and it seemed to have ended for quite some time. However, the director has yet to leave and he seemed to be having a conversation with the producer.

“Sorry, um… may I ask if the audition has ended?” Ye Mu huffed and puffed as she asked the staff member that she had pulled aside.

“Why did you arrive so late? It ended long ago.” The staff glanced at Ye Mu and said coldly, “I’m sorry, but you’re too late.”

Ye Mu felt that it was a pity, and tried to discuss it with the staff, “Can you give me a chance to try?”

“Director, are you still accepting auditions?” The staff member asked on behalf of Ye Mu in a snappy way.

The director wearing a vest turned around and glanced at Ye Mu for a moment before rejecting directly, “It’s already over, what are you trying to audition for?”

Ye Mu’s eyes flashed with disappointment and apologized, “All right, sorry for the disturbance.”

Just as she was about to leave, the producer over the phone stopped Ye Mu all of a sudden, “Hold on.”

Ye Mu stopped in her tracks and the producer gestured for her to stay. After that, he went to a corner to receive the call, “Yes, there is a lady who came to audition. Let her audition?”

“Don’t worry, President Mo. Leave this matter to me. I will let the team of directors prepare it for you. No worries. No, no, no… you are too polite. This is what we should do. We would still need President Mo to take care of us in the future after all…” The producer felt flattered as he received the call and he felt a little overwhelmed even after hanging up the call.

With the mobile phone at hand, the producer smiled at Ye Mu before he turned around and told the director, “I see that this young lady seems to be suitable for our drama… why not give her a chance and let her give it a try?”

Ye Mu was stunned and looked at the producer in surprise. She did not expect the situation to turn around for the better and she quickly bowed to express her gratitude, “Thank you.”
