Qi Le’an was still a little uneasy before going to bed. Would he enter the Nightmare System again?

According to the requirements of the system, Qi Le’an put Yan Lang’s hair under his pillow and then waited for sleep with his eyes wide open.

It was so strange that he couldn’t tell whether he was asleep or awake when he entered the Nightmare System.

This time the system’s space was no longer dark, but a small dark room with only lights in the corners. There was a small desk in the corner with a pen and notebook on it.

[Please create dreams on the dream machine.]

Wasn’t this dream machine too simple? Qi Le’an thought contemptuously. The system seemed to hear his words and immediately fought back.

[The appearance of the dream-making machine depends on the mental feedback of the host, and has nothing to do with the system.]

Qi Le’an paused for a moment, then looked at the table and suddenly found that it seemed to be his childhood desk.

All of a sudden, he walked over and sat down at the desk, ready to create Yan Lang’s dream. Qi Le’an’s current level could only create simple dreams and single emotions. He thought about the contents of dreams during the day so he wrote quickly.

In the notebook attached to the system, every word Qi Le’an wrote disappeared, while in Yan Lang’s dream, earth-shaking changes were taking place.

Yan Lang didn’t usually dream on weekdays, but today’s dream was very strange.

He seemed to be walking in a desert, hot and thirsty. His lips were cracked, but there was not a drop of water.

"

"

Walking and walking, he finally reached an oasis. Just as he was trying to scoop a handful of water out of the spring, he found his mouth full of yellow sand.

Thirsty, he was really thirsty.

He didn’t know how long this emotion affected him. Yan Lang finally woke up from his sleep. Before he could even get his cell phone, he got out of bed to find water to drink.

In the dark room, he vaguely saw a bottle of water on the table. Without much thought, Yan Lang unscrewed the cap and drank it.

… It was great to have water to drink …

Yan Lang looked at the bottle of water that saved him. After a few seconds, his face suddenly changed.

This was the bottle of lemonade that he gave Qi Le’an!

Thinking of it, he felt a burst of pain from his stomach…

Qi Le’an was awakened by the sound of the toilet. He laid in bed and listened to Yan Lang run to the toilet several times before getting up lazily.

“Hey? Yan Lang, what’s wrong with you?” Qi Le’an asked with a surprised look.

Yan Lang, with a pale face, covered his belly, not saying a word.

“Do you need to go to the hospital? I’ll take you to the hospital!” Qi Le’an showed a worried expression.

"

"

Yan Lang motioned with his hand, just as he wanted to speak, his expression became distorted again, he clutched his stomach and ran to the toilet.

Qi Le’an looked at the empty lemonade bottle on the table and could not help laughing.

He who committed iniquity could not live.

With Yan Lang’s condition, it was of course impossible for him to attend the audition. Qi Le’an pretended to care about it for a moment and then prepared to leave the room.

Due to the audition, the morning class was canceled. From 9 o’clock, Director Cui and the crew would watch the audition for the “Guangyao Entertainment” trainees.

When Qi Le’an arrived at the exercise room at 8: 30, many people had already arrived. By 9: 00, almost all the trainees had already arrived. The remaining one-third were naturally ignored, and a large part of them were estimated to have “symptoms” similar to Yan Lang’s.

When Mr. Li came to count the number, he confirmed that the trainees had reached 19.

The audition was written on the small black board in the gym room, and the class would audition in pairs. The extra person could only do a one-man show.

Although Qi Le’an didn’t see auditions in his last life, he still heard about it. This scene had the feeling of “real and fake”. It was a monster incarnated into a spirit beast around the protagonist. They acted face to face, which made the trainees confused.

The audition started soon. As the extra person, Qi Le’an had no rival.

This group of trainees had been trained for three years and were very good at performing. However, Qi Le’an was not worried about others being chosen. After all, for Director Cui, hadn’t he already chosen him? The truth was that his appearance was more consistent.

One group took an average of three minutes, and it was less than an hour after the students had performed one after another.

At the end of the audition, the crew also relaxed and everyone occasionally talked and laughed. Director Cui gave Qi Le’an an encouraging look.

Qi Le’an stepped forward, bowed to the teachers and began to perform.

In the performance class, the first thing the teacher taught was silent performance. There were no props and no opponents, and a one-man show was performed on stage. Therefore, Qi Le ‘an had a great advantage.

Not to mention, he had more years of acting experience than these students.

Director Cui was talking and laughing with Mr. Li, but gradually he began to seriously follow Qi Le’an’s performance. It took about ten minutes for the scene to end, but the previous groups were stopped within five minutes. It happened that Director Cui actually watched the whole performance!

“Yes.” Director Cui looked at Qi Le’an whose cheeks were reddish with excitement and said with surprise: “I didn’t expect … it was really good!”

Having received the praise of Director Cui, Qi Le’an quickly laughed with his dimple showing, “Thank you Director Cui!”

Director Cui laughed and Mr Li’s eyes were satisfied.

The result of the audition was not released on the spot, but Qi Le’an was already confident.

Seeing Director Cui’s attitude, he knew that he probably had no problem!

Sure enough, in the afternoon, Mr. Li happily called him to the office.

“An, do you have any confidence in the role of Bell?” Mr. Li took the lead directly.

Qi Le’an pretended to be stunned, followed by an ecstatic expression: “Yes! Of course there is!”

His expression amused Mr. Li, who said with satisfaction: “Director Cui said that you are very suitable for this role and can sign the contract on the weekend.”

Qi Le’an’s face was flushed red with excitement.

However, Mr. Li’s expression changed slightly and he said earnestly, “An, you are still young now. You must not be impetuous because you have received a role. The trainees of the company are all under unified management, and there’s nobody in your family to worry about you, are there? “

This remark had a hint of a scolding, Qi Le’an quickly said: “I … I also ask the teacher to worry more!”

As he said that, he bowed deeply.

Mr Li was very satisfied.

Qi Le’an looked worried again and said, “Teacher, what should I do?”

There was a flash of light in Mr. Li’s eyes, and he said, “All you have to do is listen to your teacher.”

Qi Le’an hurriedly said, “I only have Teacher! Who does not listen to the Teacher?”

The smile on Mr. Li’s face grew bigger, and he kindly told Qi Le ‘an some minor problems with his acting. Again, Qi Le’an smiled with gratitude.

It was a pity that after returning to the dormitory, Qi Le’an’s facial expression went blank.

Yan Lang was taken to the hospital. He was alone in the dormitory. Qi Le’an took out the mirror on the table and placed it in front of him, staring at the face in the mirror.

Eyes were very big, giving out a youthful spirit. Lips were thin and pale.

His five facial features were delicate, but they were not top-notch, but they would last for a long time.

Qi Le’an raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a careful smile.

The reflection in the mirror also smiled, his eyes narrowed, and his cheeks also had two deep dimples, making him look cute.

Qi Le’an knew that he had to put this mask on his face before he gained more strength. People always ignored the weak and occasionally gave them some love, which was exactly what he needed at this stage.

The company had to take 80% of all their acting activities before reaching adulthood, and the remaining 20% could not be fully taken.

When they reached adulthood, the company would redraft the contract according to their personal conditions, giving the trainees a little “freedom”.

However, Qi Le’an was not prepared to hand over his future to anyone. He would decide everything in his life! The trainee’s contract … was not irrevocable.

Thinking of it, Qi Le’an could not help sighing.

If only his uncle’s family did not search from him, how could he have had to pay a huge penalty? But it didn’t matter … there was always a way to deal with that family …

Qi Le’an made several more expressions in the mirror, some crying, some laughing, others angry, surprised and scared.

He had already won the role and would shine more brightly.
