When Si Junduo heard him say that he would be flying to F City with Cheng Lu for an audition, his hands unconsciously paused in their work. “Can you and Cheng Lu handle it?”
“Nothing to worry about.” Wen Mingyi tried to persuade him, “I’ll bring the keyboard along. Even if I become a cat or dog, I can contact her through texts, nothing will happen.”
Si Junduo was still worried. “I’ll go with you.” After he finished speaking, he asked Cheng Lu to book him a plane ticket too.
Although Cheng Lu had always known Si Junduo was very affectionate towards Wen Mingyi, sometimes even spoiling him, she did not expect him to spoil Wen Mingyi to such a degree. Wen Mingyi was eighteen years old, not eight years old. In addition, he had her following him. Just heading there for less than two days; was it worth asking Si Junduo to fly there too?
She persuaded Si Junduo further, but Si Junduo was adamant. Cheng Lu had no choice but to book a plane ticket for him as well.
Wen Mingyi looked at Si Junduo and tentatively asked him, “If my audition is successful, I’ll have to shoot on site. Will you agree?”
“Of course I will,” Si Junduo answered. “But I’ll go with you.”
Wen Mingyi: ! ! ! !
This was impossible! This was just too terrible ! If Si Junduo accompanied him onsite, and if something happened at the Si company, he would have to confess and admit guilt to the Si family’s parents!
“No, no need to.”
At a glance, Si Junduo could tell Wen Mingyi was overthinking it. “I won’t accompany you for the whole time, just to understand your shooting location and the people there, so that later on I’m not unaware of any problems that could arise.”
Wen Mingyi understood. “Then, it’ll just be to see if I’m safe or not, right? Once you make sure I’ll be fine, you’ll return and continue your work, right?”
“En.”
With this, Wen Mingyi became relaxed. “Scared me. I thought you would give up your company because of me.”
“Won’t,” Si Junduo calmly said. “If there’s no company, what will I use to support you?”
Wen Mingyi beat his chest. “Then let me support you too ah. I have money, and I still have my paycheck.”
Si Junduo gave him a piece of fish meat. “Then you have to work hard~”
“Don’t worry. In the future, you just need to be responsible for being a beautiful flower. I’ll be responsible for making money to support the family.”
Si Junduo: …
With two hands, Wen Mingyi placed a blooming flower under Si Junduo’s chin. “Flower.”
Si Junduo reluctantly slapped his hand away. “Eat properly.”
When Cheng Lu came to pick up Wen Mingyi the next day, she saw that her boss’s good friend was next door, and so was Si Junduo. Nowadays, did rich people all take such good care of their own didi like this? Didi headed out for a trip, and Gege needed to accompany him? So caring? Cheng Lu felt that she could no longer understand the world of the rich.
These few people flew to F City together. Wen Mingyi wanted to go shopping, so he had Cheng Lu head back first.
He led Si Junduo all the way to the local specialty snack shop. After a while, he bought several snacks and handed them to Si Junduo. After buying all this, Wen Mingyi finally found a less crowded place where he could pull down his face mask, eating as he fed Si Junduo.
However, Si Junduo was not keen on these snacks. After a few mouthfuls, he said, “You eat it, don’t worry about me.”
But Wen Mingyi was very persistent in giving him his half.
When passing by the store selling candied haws, Wen Mingyi bought a bunch of them. He bit the top hawthorn, and handed the candied hawthorns over.
“You eat it yourself,” Si Junduo said.
Wen Mingyi was dissatisfied, directly sticking the candied haws to his mouth. “Hurry up.”
Si Junduo had to take a bite.
He was especially particular about what he ate. Unlike Wen Mingyi, he didn’t bite off the whole thing, but only half of it.
Wen Mingyi didn’t mind, naturally eating the other when he retrieved the candied haws.
Si Junduo stared at him for a moment, a little startled.
Wen Mingyi chewed onto the candied haws and asked him, “What’s wrong?”
“You…” After this word, Si Junduo couldn’t continue on anymore.
He looked at Wen Mingyi’s mouth while he was chewing, and was quiet for a long time before he stated, “Your mouth is stained with icing sugar.”
“It is?” Wen Mingyi didn’t care.
He generously handed the candied haws to him again. “Your turn.” Looking at his bright eyes under the lights of the street lamp, Si Junduo couldn’t help reaching out to wipe the icing from the corner of his mouth.
Wen Mingyi laughed and urged him, “Hurry up.”
Si Junduo had to lower his head and bite the candied haw in Wen Mingyi’s hand.
Sweet and sour, yet so delicious.
One bite per person. Finally, he and Wen Mingyi finished the candied haws. Suddenly, Wen Mingyi pulled him into the alley and hugged him before he could react.
Si Junduo’s heart jumped, and he heard the youth whispering in his arms, “Hold me ya.”
Si Junduo’s heart beat faster.
Unsure, he didn’t look at Wen Mingyi. Wen Mingyi simply pulled up his arms and wrapped it around himself, instructing, “Hold well.”
Si Junduo was stunned. He was about to speak up when, in a blink of an eye, the youth in front of him disappeared and was replaced by an orange cat.
Nine o’clock! He realized it now. It was nine o’clock, the time for Wen Mingyi to change.
He hugged the orange cat in his arms and brought him out of the dark alley. His heart was still reverberating from when Wen Mingyi had suddenly hugged him, echoing those words, “Hold well.” He unconsciously tightened his hold on the cat, as he slowly walked towards the hotel.
The audition was at ten o’clock in the morning. So, at eight o’clock, Cheng Lu knocked on Wen Mingyi’s door to remind him to wake up. Wen Mingyi did not respond to her knocking for a long time, so she gave him a phone call.
When Si Junduo finished washing up, he saw Wen Mingyi reluctantly picking up the phone, muttering “en en en” without opening his eyes.
He sat on the edge of the bed and reached out his hand to pinch those cat ears.
Wen Mingyi looked at him in dissatisfaction.
Si Junduo didn’t restrain himself, continuing to pinch, even surreptitiously touching Wen Mingyi’s tail.
Whenever Wen Mingyi became a cat, every time Si Junduo wanted to rub his tail, he would always roll about. Though he was now a human, his tail was still there. Having Si Junduo rub him like this, he almost stumbled into his arms.
He snatched his tail back, hung up on Cheng Lu and jumped out of bed towards the bathroom. Before closing the door, he pulled a face at Si Junduo. “Not allowed in!”
Si Junduo laughed, feeling the wrath of this child of his.
The two had breakfast together in the room. When they encountered Cheng Lu again, it was already past nine o’clock.
Cheng Lu watched him come out of Si Junduo’s room. Surprised, she asked, “You went to President Si’s room?”
Wen Mingyi nodded.
Cheng Lu looked at him and then at Si Junduo. She hesitated. “So you slept in President Si’s room last night?” Wen Mingyi nodded again.
Cheng Lu: …
Si Junduo gave a reason for Wen Mingyi. “We were watching a movie together last night, and he got sleepy watching, hence slept directly in my room.”
Cheng Lu was relieved. Otherwise she would have thought that the brothers were too sticky. Entering together, leaving together, sleeping together, eating together. This relationship was really too good ba.
Luckily, they were just childhood friends 1 Male x male pairing . If they were childhood sweethearts 2 Male x female pairing , Cheng Lu would have felt this was not a pair of brother and sister 3 Without family relations , but a couple instead!
But why did she not have a childhood friend of her own? Cheng Lu sighed and entered the elevator with Wen Mingyi.

Si Junduo did not go to the audition with him. After sending Wen Mingyi into the elevator, he returned to the room.
It was Wen Mingyi’s first audition. He was very curious and kept asking Cheng Lu questions along the way. Fortunately Cheng Lu was patient enough to let Wen Mingyi be at ease.
At the place of the audition, Wen Mingyi waited for more than twenty minutes before it was his turn.
He knocked at the door and then stepped in. In that spacious room, a person sat alone — Yu Xuanwen. Yu Xuanwen had a standard square face. Though he looked a little serious, currently he was holding a glass tea cup filled with tea leaves and his eyes were smiling slightly, making people feel that he was not really so strict.
Wen Mingyi bowed to him, waiting for the other party to make a screen test request.
However, Yu Xuanwen did not hurry to speak and stared at him for a while. Wen Mingyi had to let him watch, not daring to make any noise.
“Your agent gave me your resume, saying that you were the top scorer in the liberal arts this year?” Yu Xuanwen said.
Wen Mingyi nodded.
Yu Xuanwen smiled. “Doesn’t look like it.”
Wen Mingyi also smiled. “This thing can’t be faked, you can find out if you check it.”
“I heard that you seem to be X University’s student.”
“Yes.”
“Why didn’t you go into a professional film and television academy?”
“Because at the start, I didn’t plan to go into filming.”
“Then why are you thinking about heading into films now?”
“Entering this circle makes me want to head into filming.”
“What happens after the filming is finished?” Yu Xuanwen asked him.”Will you go back to class?”
“Of course, why not? I even plan to properly graduate from X University four years later.”
Yu Xuanwen laughed instantly when he heard these words.
Wen Mingyi didn’t quite understand what he was laughing at.
Yu Xuanwen looked at him for a long time before saying, “When I was in junior high school, what I wanted the most was to get into X University.”
Wen Mingyi: ? ? ? Where was all this headed to?
“Later, I didn’t get good grades, but I was very interested in shooting, so I applied for the drama and television school.”
Wen Mingyi nodded.
“So, you’ve passed.”
Wen Mingyi: “Huh?”
Yu Xuanwen drank a glass of tea, and said calmly, “You have a good image and a good temperament. You still retain that sense of student’s youthfulness. One look and it seems like you’re untested in the world yet. This image fits the character this time, so you have passed. “
That was it? Wen Mingyi thought. Just like this and he had passed?
“Isn’t it necessary for me to perform a little?” he asked. Wasn’t auditioning for the purpose of seeing one’s acting skills?
“No,” Yu Xuanwen said. “This advertisement will only take ten minutes. The main shot is of Kangjie. As long as you meet the requirements of the advertisement, you will have completed 50%. So this audition is mainly looking at the image.”
Wen Mingyi nodded.
Yu Xuanwen continued, “Of course, one must also fit my eyes. You’re good and you fit my image, so congratulations.”
Wen Mingyi hurriedly said, “Thank you, Director Yu, I will work hard. “
“Go back and clean up. Next week is the start of the shooting and it’ll last for a week.”
“Okay.”
“You can go now.”
Wen Mingyi bowed again and turned to exit out of the door.
“How was it?” Cheng Lu quickly asked when he came out.
Wen Mingyi didn’t answer her. He couldn’t believe it until he got into the elevator. He actually passed just like this. He always felt as if he didn’t seem to have done anything.
“Why aren’t you speaking? You didn’t pass?” Cheng Lu comforted him. “It doesn’t matter. This advertisement is of course the best if you get it but it doesn’t matter if you don’t. Don’t be sad.”
“No, I passed,” Wen Mingyi whispered. “It’s just that the audition process is too strange.”
Cheng Lu heard him say that he passed, and flowers instantly bloomed in her heart. She looked at Wen Mingyi’s distrusting face. With a smile, she explained, “The big directors always have special interview techniques, just like artists always have their own strange hobbies.”
“Seems like it.” Wen Mingyi nodded. Still… “Cheng- jie , can I ask how you thought of including me as a liberal arts top scorer in my resume?”
“Director Yu told you this?” Cheng Lu was surprised. “I didn’t tell you about this ad. Well, it’s a public service advertisement. I’ve heard it before and said it’s related to education. When it comes to education, is it not just school, students, studying? So I thought about it and wrote down your grades too, thinking it may attract the attention of Director Yu.”
“After all, you have no representative work yet. Director Yu certainly doesn’t care how well you sing and dance, or whether you are popular or not. Hence, to stand out to have Director Yu notice you, I can only take this alternative path. Since your grades are good, doesn’t this follow their concept of education?”
Wen Mingyi thought that she had some pretty good ideas.
Facts did prove that Director Yu was more interested in this than singing and dancing, otherwise he wouldn’t just ask him about it in the first place. This was truly, winning with a surprise move!
