Chapter 895: Chapter 877: Babe, It’s in the Bag! (Part 1)
The guy was obviously shocked by Pu Sangzhi’s answer...
A fact that baffled him was right in front of him — even Tsinghua students are here competing for jobs! The employment pressure for actors is truly getting heavier...
The guy glanced at Pu Sangzhi a bit awkwardly, not knowing what to say next, but he just wanted to talk to her...
Initially, he started talking to her because she was just too beautiful.
Now he still wanted to continue talking because she was from Tsinghua.
Everyone knows that Tsinghua is a prestigious university, a gathering place for top students from across the country...
"Um... is your boyfriend also from Tsinghua?"
After holding it in for a long time, the guy managed to ask this question.
The wandering eyes of Pu Sangzhi were called back by him as she looked up at the guy, "Yeah."
Seeing that she seemed willing to chat with him, the guy became bolder and plopped down in the empty seat next to her.
Originally, the seat next to him was meant for Huo Feng.
The guy started conversing with Pu Sangzhi again, asking: "Does Tsinghua now have acting classes too?"
"No."
Pu Sangzhi shook her head, "My boyfriend just had a chance encounter to come here for an audition."
"Oh..."
The guy nodded, "Actually, you could audition too, right? You’re also very beautiful..."
Pu Sangzhi smiled shyly, "Thank you."
After speaking, she turned her head away, no longer wanting to talk to this guy.
Pu Sangzhi didn’t like dealing with such pointless flirtation...
At this moment, from the audition room not far away, You Xinran walked out from the room directly opposite her in the hallway.
As soon as she came out, Pu Sangzhi saw her opposite.
Likewise, You Xinran also saw the opposite Pu Sangzhi.
In scenes without Huo Feng, the atmosphere between the two girls always remained tense.
Even across a hallway, Pu Sangzhi could feel that You Xinran’s gaze towards her was unpleasant.
The same applied to You Xinran.
She also disliked Pu Sangzhi’s gaze at her.
However, because of Huo Feng, You Xinran couldn’t fall out with Pu Sangzhi or give her an attitude.
So, she took the initiative and walked towards Pu Sangzhi across the hallway...
After becoming adults, you’ll realize that in the adult world, you can’t just reject someone because you dislike them. Often, even if you dislike someone, you have to meet them with a smile...
You Xinran could do this.
So could Pu Sangzhi.
When You Xinran came over to Pu Sangzhi, she forced a faint smile and politely started, "How’s Huo Feng doing here?"
Pu Sangzhi also responded lightly: "He just went in. What about your side?"
Out of politeness, Pu Sangzhi replied with this question.
You Xinran replied to her, "I’m done. They asked me to go back and wait for news."
Pu Sangzhi nodded lightly, "What role did you audition for?"
"I auditioned for the campus belle, I guess it’s the third female lead..."
You Xinran answered, "I’m done with everything. If there’s nothing else, I’m planning to go back to school. Not sure when you’re finished, I drove here, do you want to go back together?"
"I’m not sure when Huo Feng will be finished, maybe you should go back first?" Pu Sangzhi asked.
"If it won’t be long, I’ll just wait for you guys and we can go back together, it’s convenient, and you don’t have to take the subway."
You Xinran glanced at the room, "How long has he been in there?"
Today, You Xinran seemed quite easy to get along with...
But Pu Sangzhi knew, it’s just adult politeness. If you take it seriously, you might lose...
So, Pu Sangzhi replied to her, "I really don’t know when he’ll be done, otherwise, you’d better go back first, it’s not good to keep you waiting too long. We can return easily anyway, we have nothing on this evening."
"This evening..."
You Xinran paused for a moment, then said, "Actually, if Huo Feng is free tonight, it’s best for him to come for rehearsal. After all, the performance is next Sunday, and we haven’t rehearsed our scenes, time is very tight..."
"Alright."
Pu Sangzhi nodded, "I’ll tell him."
"And... last time I contacted you privately, I was too abrupt, I’m sorry." You Xinran said.
"It’s okay, I didn’t mind." Pu Sangzhi replied.
"Hmm..."
You Xinran pursed her lips, then after a few seconds of hesitation, said to Pu Sangzhi, "I’ll be going now, goodbye."
"Hmm."
Thus, the overly polite conversation between Pu Sangzhi and You Xinran came to an end.
You Xinran turned and left, taking deep breaths as she walked away...
She told herself, even though Pu Sangzhi is Huo Feng’s official girlfriend, she couldn’t show weakness in front of Pu Sangzhi, nor could she feel guilty!
Even if she liked Huo Feng in her heart, she didn’t show it, and no one else knew about it!
Therefore, she had no reason to feel guilty towards Pu Sangzhi, she had to stand tall and face Pu Sangzhi confidently.
With this mindset, You Xinran regained the confidence she originally should have.
That’s right...
Since last night, she discovered that she was weak and lacking confidence in front of Pu Sangzhi.
It could be due to Huo Feng’s utmost affection for Pu Sangzhi, or it might be because Pu Sangzhi is indeed prettier, or perhaps because... Pu Sangzhi exudes a graceful charisma, and her overall traits really aren’t worse than You Xinran herself.
There were many reasons that caused You Xinran to feel a bit inferior during these two encounters with Pu Sangzhi.
However, Pu Sangzhi didn’t notice her inferiority.
After You Xinran left, Pu Sangzhi felt somewhat anxious and couldn’t help but ponder over what You Xinran had just said.
In the end, Pu Sangzhi couldn’t decipher much.
Because You Xinran’s behavior both last night and just now were very normal, so normal that Pu Sangzhi even doubted if You Xinran didn’t like Huo Feng? Was she overthinking it?
Maybe, You Xinran just saw potential in Huo Feng and that’s why she promoted and valued him?
Judging by her behavior last night and just now, Pu Sangzhi didn’t see jealousy in You Xinran, but more of You Xinran’s effort and striving for self-interest.
It seemed that You Xinran loved herself more.
And You Xinran’s actions appeared to be for her own benefit, perhaps she truly was just seeing potential and nurturing Huo Feng...
Pu Sangzhi’s thoughts about You Xinran were stirring uneasily in her heart.
Not long after, the guy next to Pu Sangzhi started chatting with her again, and this time, he boldly asked: "Hi, can I add you on WeChat to get to know you? It’s my first time meeting a Tsinghua student..."
"Sorry..."
Pu Sangzhi was clearly startled by the guy’s forwardness, her first reaction was to refuse, "My... my boyfriend wouldn’t be happy."
"I won’t often chat with you, nor will I affect your relationship with your boyfriend, it’s just my first time meeting a Tsinghua top student... uh..."
The guy was also a bit embarrassed but still plucked up the courage to continue inviting, "Is it alright?"
Pu Sangzhi shook her head again, "Sorry."
Just then, the audition room door opened, and Huo Feng came out and immediately saw Pu Sangzhi being hit on!
Huo Feng quickly stepped forward, placing his hand on Pu Sangzhi’s shoulder, and said to the guy, "What are you guys doing?"
Huo Feng’s tone was quite relaxed, showing no signs of displeasure or irritation.
The guy immediately recognized Huo Feng as Pu Sangzhi’s boyfriend, embarrassedly put his phone away, and stood up to give up the seat.
Huo Feng smoothly took Pu Sangzhi’s hand, and she stood up with him.
She quickly handed Huo Feng’s coat to him, carefully helping him put on a scarf while asking, "How was the audition?"
At that moment, the door of the audition room was still open when Director Lu Xun suddenly popped his head out, calling Huo Feng, "Huo Feng..."
Huo Feng responded, turning his head, "Yeah?"
Pu Sangzhi also turned her head, realizing that Director Lu Xun was indeed very young!
Huo Feng mentioned he was only 26 years old, a newcomer director.
Sure enough, he looked about the same age as Huo Feng and Pu Sangzhi, not really resembling a director.
Meanwhile, Lu Xun’s gaze also fell on Pu Sangzhi, and with just one look, he was amazed by her distinct and refined features!
"Um..."
Lu Xun was even momentarily stunned, and it took a while for him to regain his composure, "Huo Feng, if you’re free later, stay for a bit."
"Oh, okay." Huo Feng nodded.
"Is this your girlfriend?" Lu Xun asked another question.
Huo Feng nodded, "Yes."
Then, Director Lu Xun didn’t say more, withdrawing his head. An assistant came out at the door, continuing to call for auditions...
At that moment, Pu Sangzhi turned back to continue helping Huo Feng with the scarf, seeing his lips curled up in a smile, she lightly patted his chest, "What are you smiling at?"
Huo Feng laughed, "Dear, we won’t be going back, there’s no need for the scarf. It’s warm inside."
"Oh..."
Pu Sangzhi slowly removed the scarf.
At that moment, Huo Feng suddenly lowered his head, moved close to her ear, and whispered, "It’s sealed, dear."
"Hmm." Pu Sangzhi nodded.
