Chapter 451: Chapter 451 She Has Not Lost_1

The gossip spirit inside Xia Qingtian suddenly flared up.

She asked, "Who is the person you like?"

Cheng Bingbing blushed and didn’t reveal anything, instead she said, "I don’t even know if he likes me or not. If we really end up together, I’ll definitely tell you, Qingtian."

Xia Qingtian immediately felt a bit disappointed but didn’t press her further.

Just when she thought she couldn’t continue gossiping, it seemed like something occurred to Cheng Bingbing. After some hesitation, she tentatively asked, "Qingtian, can other artists date too?"

She had decided to pursue a career as an actress of substantive talent, so it wouldn’t matter if she didn’t have any fans.

But what about other artists?

What if they choose to be idols instead of pursuing careers based on substance?

"Who are you referring to?" Xia Qingtian asked casually.

Cheng Bingbing bit her lip. Despite feeling a bit embarrassed, she finally muttered a name, "Huo Qilin."

"He can too." Xia Qingtian replied.

Huo Qilin had also chosen a serious career path. He could write, sing, play instruments, and dance. If he wanted to date, he could do so.

"That’s great." Cheng Bingbing couldn’t help but rejoice quietly.

Seeing her like this, Xia Qingtian instantly realized something.

"Bingbing, is the person you like Huo Qilin?" she asked, looking surprised.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Bingbing realized her excitement had given her away. Now that she had been found out, she simply decided not to hide it anymore.

"Mm-hmm." She admitted shyly, nodding her head.

Xia Qingtian blinked curiously and asked, "How did you end up liking Huo Qilin? You guys don’t interact much."

Now that her biggest secret-that she liked Huo Qilin-was out, revealing other minor details didn’t seem to matter much.

Cheng Bingbing confessed, "When I was in danger, I was really scared. I thought it was the end for me, but then Huo Qilin appeared out of nowhere, like a hero coming from heaven."

"After he saved me, even though he had been hurt himself, he didn’t pay any attention to it and immediately came over to comfort me. In that moment, my heart was pounding fast. I thought it was due to the scare."

"But after we got to the hospital, when I apologized to Huo Qilin and he comforted me, my heart was still racing. That’s when I realized that I might have feelings for Huo Qilin."

As she spoke, the mere thought of Huo Qilin made her heart jump uncontrollably.

However, she still wanted to confirm her feelings with Xia Qingtian, "Qingtian, it’s okay for me to like Huo Qilin, right? We can be together, can’t we?"

"Of course." Xia Qingtian nodded in agreement, "If you both like each other."

Cheng Bingbing’s face instantly flushed, adding a new radiance to her already stunning face.

After they finished their dessert, they left the dessert shop.

In the few days that followed, after completing her makeup, Cheng Bingbing spent her time in parties and social gatherings, trying to blend in.

Everything was going smoothly.

It wasn’t until the day of Director Zhao’s audition did Cheng Bingbing wash off her makeup and head for the audition with Xia Qingtian.

During the audition, Director Zhao did not ask for the place to be cleared.

So when one actor was auditioning, the others could stay on the set to observe and learn. The audition sequence was determined through a draw.

Shi Qian and Cheng Bingbing were at two ends. Shi Qian was the first to audition, and Cheng Bingbing was the last.

Shi Qian’s performance was very confident, and her acting skills, which had been honed by the best actors and actresses, displayed a significant improvement.

It was quite clear that she was totally immersed in her role.

Xia Qingtian’s heart sank a bit when she saw this...

She suddenly felt a hand holding hers. Turning her head, she found that it was Cheng Bingbing, who was now looking very serious.

It seemed that Shi Qian’s performance had stirred up a sense of threat in her.

Xia Qingtian gently patted her hand in comfort.

Before long, Shi Qian had finished her performance.

Perhaps because Shi Qian’s performance was too perfect, it resulted in great psychological pressure for the ones performing after her. This led to one giving up altogether and another failing to meet up to the mark.

The final one, when compared to Shi Qian’s performance, was lackluster.

Without requiring Director Zhao to judge, she knew she was outperformed and promptly left.

Now, it was just Cheng Bingbing left.

Cheng Bingbing’s pressure was probably the highest among them.

Shi Qian did not consider her a rival at all. This performance was supposed to be a complete replica of the award-winning actress’s actions and expressions.

She also knew that Bo’s mother had made it clear-no one dared to teach Cheng Bingbing in the entertainment industry, or go against the Bo family.

There was no way Cheng Bingbing could win against her because her acting could never be better than the award-winning actress’s.

With this in mind, Shi Qian looked at Cheng Bingbing with disdain, eager to see her make a fool of herself.

Xia Qingtian, however, was not so confident.

She only knew that Cheng Bingbing had been going out every day to experience her role, but she had no idea about the results. She also never asked, fearing it would put too much pressure on her.

At this point, all she could do was encourage and support Cheng Bingbing, "Don’t think about winning or losing. The most important thing is to put on your best performance."

"Okay." Cheng Bingbing nodded.

Then, taking a deep breath, she let go of Xia Qingtian’s hand and walked into the space specially reserved for the audition.

The scene she was going to act was simple. She didn’t even use the actor whom the director had found to play against her.

She just leaned against the wall, lit a cigarette awkwardly, and continued to smoke from the novice first puff to the expert last puff.

As the cigarette burned out, Cheng Bingbing’s performance ended.

Shi Qian immediately turned to her, not caring that Director Zhao was still on set, "What on earth was that? Even someone who hasn’t learned acting could do better than you."

"If you don’t want to be in Director Zhao’s movie, then you shouldn’t come here to steal other people’s chances. At the very least, you should show some basic respect and take the audition seriously, right?"

Cheng Bingbing ignored her and turned to Director Zhao, "Director Zhao, my audition is over."

"Tsk, what a thick skin." Shi Qian sneered disdainfully and also turned to Director Zhao, hoping that he would criticize her harshly.

If Director Zhao rebuked her, Cheng Bingbing’s reputation would be ruined. No one would want to hire an actress with such a bad reputation.

She wondered how Cheng Bingbing would compete with her for the Best Supporting Actress award in a few days.

Clap Clap Clap--

Director Zhao stood up and began to clap, "Not bad, not bad at all. It seems that the new generation of actors is indeed very promising."
