Novel Full Chapter 1273 - Autumn Leaf Like Rain
Chapter 1273: Autumn Leaf Like Rain
This was a theatrical show on stage.
It included dance, dialogues, performance, and various skills that suited the composite quality of the trainees.
This kind of performance had to wait until the year-end to be performed in the theater. It was different from movies and dramas as it wasn’t recorded nor edited beforehand. It completely tested the trainees’ ability to perform on the spot and not make the least bit of error.
All the performing trainees practiced very seriously.
The male lead partnering with Xia Yingluo was two grades higher than her and was rumored to be debuting soon. He was born with delicate features, had refined manners and looked to have a comfortable temperament. His acting skills were decent, but he was nervous when partnering with her and kept making mistakes. In the afternoon, he dragged Xia Yingluo down to go through the same scene several times.
The male lead Zhou Hansheng felt sorry and said carefully, “Yingluo, I’ve dragged you down. It’s my fault.”
Xia Yingluo smiled and casually took a bottle of water another trainee gave him. “It’s okay.” Although she did have a big missy temper, was whiny and didn’t like to suffer, she knew how to cooperate. In a situation like this, it wasn’t as if Zhou Hansheng was doing it on purpose. Since he was already trying his best to adjust, there was no reason to blame him.
She repeated the scene a few more times with him.
The director finally couldn’t take it anymore and run over. “Zhou Hansheng, what’s wrong? If you keep up with this, I’m going to change the male lead!” He then said fearfully to Xia Yingluo, “Ms. Xia, I’m sorry, I’m really sorry. Your acting was incredible.”
Ever since Xia Yingluo’s identity was exposed, she enjoyed VIP treatment no different from honorable superstars and little actresses. This was as expected, however. Who told Xia Yingluo’s identity to be so defiant? Even the training camp’s principal was also stunned. He reported it to Pei Ziheng in fear and, after figuring out his intentions, he laid out orders to take good care of her.
Xia Yingluo was already familiar with people being courteous and respectful to her at home, so now, she didn’t mind it either. “It’s alright.”
She didn’t mind, but the director minded. What if this big missy became tired and something happened to her? “Xiao Yun!” He called and gestured and a girl ran over. The director smiled at Xia Yingluo. “Ms. Xia, why don’t you go and rest first, I’ll let Xiao Yun practice with Zhou Hansheng. Once he’s in a better mode, you can continue practicing with him.”
Xia Yingluo thought about it and thought it was a good idea. Since they were just practicing lines and positioning, Xiao Yun could just be Zhou Hansheng’s practicing partner.
She thanked the director and went to rest at a corner.
Immediately, several people came to strike up a conversation with her, complimenting her acting and her clothes. Some even enthusiastically served her fruit tea and little desserts.
Xia Yingluo simply wanted to cry into the air. Ling’er it’s all your fault, you exposed my identity. Now look at what you did, there’s no peace anywhere. She finally managed to send everyone away and called for Jiang Bilian. “Bilian, find a few people to ward off this area and don’t let anyone disturb me. And take these little desserts and fruit tea to share amongst you.”
Jiang Bilian saw that Xia Yingluo did indeed have use for her and immediately smiled. She quickly got the work done.
Xia Yingluo was also very happy. She didn’t want to trouble Jin Ling’er in handling these trivial things and furthermore, Ling’er’s temper was usually straight and didn’t have many friends, so she wouldn’t be able to handle these matters that required commanding people anyways. But Jiang Bilian was extremely familiar with controlling people, so she was the most suitable for such work.
Xia Yingluo drank water quietly and thought, If Jiang Bilian performs well, maybe I will allow her to have a good future.
Zhou Hansheng and the practice partner were still practicing at the side.
When Xia Yingluo looked over from an angle, she saw a man wearing a white shirt with his long and slender body against the light. His slender body was almost identical to Wei Lingnan’s in her memory. Zhou Hansheng was reading his lines. “Jingjing, I’ve crossed through endless time to find you. The countless twinkling stars in the universe represent my longing for you, but what about you? How could you not love me anymore? Jingjing, do you know how sad I am?”
At this time, she was a little distracted.
How did Wei Lingnan feel after passing through endless light-years and enduring the pain coming from Skatana Planet to Earth?
She hadn’t seen him in a few days. He… was okay, right?
She shook her head. Why was she thinking of him? The person he loved wasn’t her, it was Ah Luo. What did it have to do with her if he was doing well? They were just strangers.
Her break ended, the director invited her on stage and said Zhou Hansheng had entered his mode.
Xia Yingluo went on stage, but this time, she was the distracted one. Facing Zhou Hansheng’s handsome and chiseled face, her whole heart and mind were filled with Wei Lingnan. They repeated the scenes a few times and she made several big and small mistakes.
The director couldn’t help but yell cut.
“Ms. Xia, are you tired? I’m sorry for making you wait for so long.” The director was extremely polite. His attitude towards Zhou Hansheng and her for making mistakes was completely different. “Why don’t we just end our practice for today? You can go back and rest and we’ll continue tomorrow?”
Xia Yingluo also felt like she wasn’t in the mood and said, “Okay. I’m sorry, director and Senior Zhou.”
The two immediately told her it was nothing.
Xia Yingluo exited the theater and walked alone in the school garden where the autumn leaves fell like rain, her heart full of heavy thoughts.
She didn’t know why Wei Lingnan had such a deep impact on her. When she had seen him and Gu Jinxiu so close together during the banquet, she had felt as if her heart had been pricked by a needle. When he had halted her car halfway, although she was angry, she was still happy to receive the cosmetics from him. She had been continuously reminding herself not to care about him, but no matter what, she would think of him…
His impact on her was much greater than she imagined.
This wasn’t a good sign.
She frowned slightly and walked deeper into the forest with the falling autumn leaves.
The leaves fell and landed on her with the breeze.
She stood in the forest in a daze and suddenly felt the leaves disappear from her shoulder. Her surroundings suddenly became quiet and the chirping of the birds stopped.
She seemed to have some response. She turned around and saw Wei Lingnan.
He was wearing a white shirt, standing behind her like a painting. His hand was holding onto an umbrella, shielding her from the falling leaves. The autumn sunlight shone on his body warmly. Xia Yingluo had seen many men wearing white shirts, but none of them wore it as well as he did. He was the only one. She looked at him in some form of enchantment, when suddenly she seemed to respond to something. She lowered her eyes quickly and sunk her face.
