Chapter 221: Chapter 221: Yuran, Who Has Lost Half of His Vest

Existence is justified!

Annan pondered and agreed, but then she remembered something, "Yuran..."

"What is it?"

Annan weighed her thoughts and said, "Did you already know that Zhen Ni and Lin Chen had some kind of relationship, and because of that, they made things difficult for you?"

Previously, Yuran didn’t want to tell Annan because she didn’t see the necessity. What kind of jerk keeps popping up in Annan’s life?

But just now, when Bai Leyao brought it up and Annan listened, Yuran didn’t plan to keep it a secret any longer. She admitted, "Yes, I knew, but it has nothing to do with you. Aren’t you annoyed that such a jerk always appears on your path forward?"

Annan snorted a laugh, and before she finished, Yuran added, "When I first found out, I even cursed you in my heart for being blind, so I didn’t tell you."

Annan, "..."

After dropping Yuran off at the apartment building, Annan recollected what Qi Younian had said and called out to Yuran who was about to open the car door, "Ranran..."

"What’s up?"

Annan said, "Qi Younian mentioned before that due to the increase of your popularity, you might need to move to a new place and asked me to let you know. He’s going to look for a house for you. This place doesn’t have good enough privacy, and it might cause troubles later on."

Yuran was taken aback and then replied with an "Oh," "You guys decide then, I’m okay with anything."

It was just a pity that she hadn’t even lived here for a year, and she quite liked it here.

...

Platinum Imperial Palace.

In the video room, Bo Yan’s tall figure was nestled in the soft sofa, his gaze sharp as he watched the huge screen playing the television series starring the late Fu Yuran. On the short table in front of him, there was a large stack of video discs, and in the computer, there was an email from Situ Jue.

For two whole days, he had practically not left the video room.

He watched one after another of Fu Yuran’s films earnestly, and then in his mind, he kept alternating between the faces of Yuran and Fu Yuran.

As the television series’ end credits rolled on the screen, he leaned back on the sofa, slightly exhausted, and asked himself in a muffled voice, "Is it possible?"

He blindly reached for his phone beside him and saw no messages from Yuran, only a full inbox from Xie Cheng. His eyebrows twisted slightly as he let out a low chuckle.

Such an ungrateful little thing.

Not even a single text or phone call.

The truth was not that Yuran hadn’t sent him any, but that there had also been a little incident on her end. Qi Younian told her some good news: the film "Emperor Shun of Tang" was casting. Originally scheduled to start at the end of the year, it had been delayed due to the lack of a suitable actor.

The male lead was confirmed to be Bo Yan.

Somehow, the director of "Emperor Shun of Tang" got to chatting with Xuan Ze, who recommended her for an audition, even sending a clip of her portraying Tang Wan to the director, who surprisingly agreed.

It was for the second female lead, not the lead.

Qi Younian had sent her the script to read, and in terms of overall impact, "Emperor Shun of Tang" might have a male-centric plot, about patriotism and love for one’s country, but the two most conflict-driven characters were Emperor Shun of Tang and the second female lead.

The second female lead’s pivotal scenes were far more intriguing than those of the lead actress, and if played well, the role was sure to make a huge splash.

Initially, Yuran had no particular ambitions, but after reading the script, she was very eager to play the female general who was as courageous as any man. Contemplating her studies, she was indecisive.

Thus, she had been troubled by this matter for the past two days. She had wanted to discuss it with Bo Yan, but fearing she might disturb him, she had not contacted him and was wrestling with the decision on her own.

Bo Yan learned about this affair as he stepped out of the video room to prepare his dinner, from what Xie Cheng said, with a rather complex tone, "Fate can be so troublesome!"

Bo Yan: "... Speak plainly."

Xie Cheng said, "I just got the news. The director of ’Emperor Shun of Tang’ seems interested in having Yuran audition for the role of Xie Qingcheng, the second female lead. If Yuran lands the role, the two of you will be working together again, won’t you?"

Bo Yan said, "I somewhat hope she doesn’t get the role."

Xie Cheng was puzzled, "Why?"

"You will die."

Xie Cheng: "... It’s just acting, do you need to get so into the role?"

"It’s because of me that you will die."

Xie Cheng: "..." This fifty-cent weather is now impossible to discuss.

Bo Yan, "Why don’t you speak?"

"Bo Yan, have you fallen for Yuran and gone mad without feeling a thing?"

Bo Yan, "When is the audition scheduled?"

The topic change was so abrupt that Xie Cheng felt embarrassed to even point it out. He answered, "I don’t know."

Bo Yan challenged, "What use are you then?"

Xie Cheng, "Get this clear, I’m the agent of whom, not Yuran. Her schedule isn’t my responsibility. How would I know?"

Bo Yan, "What use are you."

Xie Cheng, "Don’t go too far."

Bo Yan, "What use are you!"

After being challenged three times in a row, Xie Cheng began to doubt his life decisions. Grinding his teeth, he said, "Alright, alright, alright, I beg you to shut up, I’ll find out right now."

Bo Yan, "Oh, not completely useless then."

Xie Cheng, "You’ve had enough... This is too much."

After finishing, Xie Cheng hung up the phone, and Bo Yan stared at his mobile phone, curling his lips, "..."

After hanging up, Bo Yan didn’t dwell much on the matter. Intuition told her that as long as Yuran wanted to act, getting the role would be no issue at all. After finishing dinner, she stood in front of the enormous floor-to-ceiling window.

She went over everything from the Yuran who had woken up in Bo City to the Yuran of now, frowning tightly.

[Bo Yan: Ayao, do you believe there are unexplainable, strange things in this world?]

In New York, Si Yao was buried in a mountain of documents when he received this message from Bo Yan. He was somewhat stunned. Situ Jue had been making quite a bit of noise a few days ago, and he had asked about it.

Now, upon receiving this message, he raised his eyebrows slightly, his deep and delicate features carrying a hint of a profound smile.

He moved his fingers and replied to Bo Yan.

[Si Yao: What do you mean?]

[Bo Yan: Like, for example, a person’s soul switching to another body, do you think that’s possible?]

[Si Yao: You’ve been watching too many TV shows! How can that be possible?]

Seeing Si Yao’s reply, the bright sparkle in Bo Yan’s eyes suddenly dimmed. She rubbed her fingers on the screen, questioning her own guess, "Impossible?"

But... her intuition was telling her that her guess wasn’t wrong.

A person’s drastic change in temperament and sudden enlightenment couldn’t so closely resemble another person, and from the beginning to the end, the one he liked was Yuran who had woken up after that fall. He tried to think about liking the Yuran before the fall from the building.

But he couldn’t even bring himself to think about it.

It was still the same face, maybe not quite the same, the makeup a bit heavy, and other than that, just minor differences. But he couldn’t muster the slightest bit of affection.

The mobile phone vibrated—an incoming message from Si Yao.

[Si Yao: Haven’t you been too tired lately, hallucinating? Do you need me to find you a psychologist? It may not be a big deal, but still, have a check-up.]
