(ch.87)

Xiu Ying heard someone saying "You guys wake up. We're at the hotel, wake up," while shaking him. He slowly opened his eyes, he saw Yu while Xia was behind her, he said "What," in a sleepy tone.

Yu said "We're back at the hotel, come on get off," in a benevolent tone.

"Ok ok," he replied, then he told Hong to wake up. She rubbed her eye and said "Oh, we're here," in a very sleepy tone they both got up and got off the bus. Yu said "We have a meeting in 15 minutes so you guys better get yourself awake," in a solemn tone.

"Oh ok," they both said in a tired tone as they entered the elevator. They went to their rooms to get documents and their laptops and went to the conference room that they were told to go to.

Mr. Yang said "Ok since everyone is here, I'll begin. We have a few problems, first of all, Ah Kum said that she wants to add scenes or she won't do the movie. What do you guys think?"

Yu said, "Well that depends, what does she want to add to the script?"

Mr. Yang replied "Well she said that she wants the scene where Chao kisses Chan Juan (Ah Kum) but instead he meets his friend that he hasn't seen in 3 years. Chao and his friend begin to reconnect, then his friend tells Chao that he's getting married in a few weeks and he invites Chao to their wedding."

Bai said "Why would she give up her kiss scene to make a scene like this," in a confused tone as Yu was agreeing with him.

Mr. Yang sighed and replied by saying "I asked her that question, her reason was that she wants to see a wedding happen in the middle of the movie cause it always happens at the end and she also said that she wasn't ready for the kissing scene, she is hoping if we can do the kissing scene after the wedding happens."

Yu said "We can do it but that means we'll have to change the whole script in a matter of days," in a frank tone.

Bai added "Where would get the actors to film the parts? Do we have backup actors," in a curious tone.

Mr. Yang said "That's another problem we have, we don't have actors that want to do it and I don't think we'll have the actors in time for the parts. If we do this then where are we going to get the actors but if we don't do it then she won't do the movie and she is the main lead in the movie."

Bai asked "Mr. Yang do you think we use our staff as actors," in a curious tone.

Yu agreed and said "Yeah, can we," in an admiring tone.

The director added "I mean nobody told us that we can't so I guess we can but which staff can do the acting plus there's so much stuff that the staff has to do. Who can do these parts if we can't do them then I'll tell Ah Kum that we can't change the script."

Bai recommends "How about Xiu Ying as Chao's friend since his job is a production assistant and a production assistant just basically runs errands so he's a good fit. Who will be his bride?"

Yu smile and said "Well we have two script supervisors on set we can use one of them to be the bride but who should do it? Chyou what do you think," as almost everyone looked at her.

She answered "Thanks for the offer but no thanks, I don't like or want to act," in an uninterested tone as looked at everyone then she went back to writing notes down in a notebook.

Yu looked at Hong as she was writing notes down too she said "How about you Hong?"

Hong put her pencil down, looked up, and said "I don't know if I'm a good fit plus I don't know how to act," in a timid tone then she made a nervous smile.

The director said "It's fine, I'll have someone teach you how to while filming," in a calm tone as everyone agreed with him.

Hong sighed and replied "Ok I'll be the bride but that means we'll have to redo the script and make new copies," in a formal tone as she made a tired expression.

Yu smiled and said "It's fine, I can do the editing to the script and added those parts. All you guys have to do is put the scripts together," in a calm tone.

Mr. Yang said "Ok that settles it, does anyone have any questions," everyone shooked their head, no, so Mr. Yang said, "Well ok, the meeting is over, have a good night everyone." Everyone started to pack up and leave, when Hong left she saw Xia, Yu, and Xiu Ying standing against the wall. She asked, "What are you guys doing here?"

Yu smiled and said "We're waiting for you, obviously, why else," in a generous tone.

She gave a small smile and said "You guys didn't have to but thanks anyways," in a quiet tone as they being to walk to the elevator.

Yu said "Thank you for taking the role or else I would have no clue what to do," in a happy tone.

"No need to thank me. This is probably the only chance I'll get to be in a movie but I'm just worried that my acting won't be good," she said in a low voice as she sighed.

Yu said "I know you'll be fine plus you're going to be taught how to act in the movie," in a reassuring tone as she pats Hong on the back.

When they entered the elevator, Xia pressed the 13th-floor button, Xiu Ying said "Does that mean that we'll get to kiss for the wedding scene," in a sly tone as he smirked while looking at Hong. Xia and Yu giggled as they looked at Hong's reaction, her face turned red when he said that.

She hit him and said "Maybe we won't and even if we do kiss, it won't mean anything to me," in a bold tone as she made a flustered face.

Xiu Ying said "Ooowww, Xia, she hit," in a childish tone while he fake cried as he put his head on her shoulder.

Xia said "There, there you big fat crybaby," in a childish way tone as she pats his head. She continues saying "Now quit being such a baby, you're 25 years old," in an annoyed tone as she shoves his head off her shoulder. Yu and Hong were laughing and Xiu Ying continues to fake cry, he said "You guys are so mean."

Hong said "Xiu Ying stop crying already," in an annoyed tone as he stopped his act. When they got to the 13th-floor they went to their room as Xiu Ying follows them Hong asked him why was he follow them. He said that his room is on the same floor as he walked two doors from their door, Yu and Xia already went into the hotel room but Hong quickly said "Xiu Ying have a good night," and shut the door he couldn't help but giggle a little bit.

At 3 pm Lai texted Xaing if he could go pick Chin, he asked why and Lai texted "Because I'm kinda busy with work so can you go pick her up."

Xaing texted back "Ok." Lai sent the location to him. Xaing went to pick up Chin, when he got there he didn't see her anywhere. He waited and waited until 3:40 pm he finally saw Chin coming. She looks like she was just beaten up and looked so numb when she got in the car he asked "Chin are you okay? Why do you look like that" in a concerned tone.

She just sighed and said "It's nothing, let's go home," in an exhausted tone as she put on the seatbelt.

Xaing said "Are you lying? You seem like you got beat up," she hooked her head, no. He said "Ok I trust you but we're not going home yet," in a joyful tone as he starts to drive off.

Chin raised one of her eyebrows and asked "Then where are we going," in a confused tone as she looks at him.

"You'll see soon," in an excited tone yet calm he told her, she nodded and sat back to see where he's taking her but she also worried. When they got close to the company Xaing was working for, Chin asked "Why are we here? Am I going to watch you dance or what," in a curious tone as she looked around the place.

He answered, "My manager wants to talk to you that's the reason why I brought you here."

"Omg really!! Is he going to asks me to audition to be your backup dancer," in an excited tone as a big smile appeared on her face? Xaing shrugged with a smile. When they got to Mr. Zhao's office, Xaing knocked, opened the door, and said "Mr. Zhao, I brought the girl that I was talking about this morning," then he left.

Mr. Zhao said, "So you're the one that wants to be a backup dancer?" Chin nodded as she gave a nervous smile. "Ok then show me what you got, come follow me," in a serious tone as he lead the way and she just followed without saying a word.

As they went through each practice room, an idol/groups was practicing their dance, they continue looking for a room but none of the rooms are available they went to check if Xaing was busy but he was just sitting on the ground while on his phone. Mr. Zhao knocked, opened the door, and said "Sorry to interrupt you but I need to see if she can be your backup dancer. All of the rooms are occupied since you're not practicing. Can I use your room?"

Xaing stood up and said "Go ahead, I would love to watch her dance too," in a calm tone welcome them into the room.

"Ok, Chin do you have an outfit to change into," he said with a curious tone as he looked at Chin's school uniform.

Chin answered "No, I don't have any other clothes," in a quiet voice as she looked at her uniform.

Xaing said "I have extra clothes," in a peaceful tone as he grabbed his bag and took out an outfit, gave it to her. He said "You can go change in that room," as he pointed to a door. She thanked him, took his clothes, and went into the room that she was pointed to. After a few minutes, she came out looks really baggy since Xaing's clothes are like three times bigger than her. Mr. Zhoa asked "Are you sure you can dance in that? Don't you want to tie it to make it tight," in a curious tone as he eye her up and down.

She told him "No, I think this would be fine, let's just see if it's too big then I'll tie it. Ok what song do you want me to dance to," in a nervous tone but yet very calm.

Mr, Zhao thought for a second, then said "Let's start with an easy one, the song My love," as he was putting the song into the speaker.

Chin took a breath in and said "Ok," in a quiet voice, as the song started she dance to it without missing a beat. In the middle of her dancing, she jumped a little bit too high while doing a dance move, the shirt went a little bit too high showing a little bit of her bra she panicked a little bit but manage to make a calm face and continues to dance.

When she was done, Xaing and Mr. Zhao applauded her, Mr. Zhao said "First of all, you were so good at the dance you didn't even miss a beat. Second of all, good job at handling that wardrobe malfunction in the middle of dancing," in a proud tone with a proud smile. She looked at Xaing as he smiles as he was nodded.

She smiled and said "Thank you, sir," in a shy tone.

He said "I think you better tie that shirt in case you want another wardrobe malfunction," in a sarcastic tone as he pointed at the shirt. She obeyed, as she's tying Xaing shirt, Mr. Zhao said "When you're ready, tell me and I'll start to play the next song, let's see if you know these songs without me telling you," in a calm tone as he got ready to play another song.

She told him that she was ready after a few seconds, a song started to play Chin know what song it was, she started to dance and again she dances to it without missing a beat. Mr. Zhao and Xaing were impressed. Songs after songs Chin could dance to all of the songs that will be at Xaing's concert, they both were so impressed.

When Chin got done dancing she heard a lot of applauding she looks behind her, she saw a crowd of people applauding her. Her face turned bright red, she stutters "Why- why are there so- so many people," in a sheepish tone while some people were cheering her on.

Mr. Zhao laughed and said "These are the backup dancers for Xaing's concert and this is when they usually come around to practice on the weekdays," in a joyful tone as he looked at the people behind them.

"What you think, Mr. Zhao? Can I be one of the backup dancers," she asked with a curious tone as she looks at the ground.

He said "I think you did an excellent job, you pass," in a proud tone. He added, "but you'll have to sign a contract before you can start."

Chin nodded and asked, "Do you want me to leave after I sign the contract or what?"

Mr. Zhao said, "It's fine when you're done signing the contract, you can come back here and practice with the rest of them so you can be more comfortable with them and dance in front of people." Chin nodded and went with him while Xaing and his backup dancers greet each other and started to practice. When she came back, she quietly came into the room, sat down on the empty side, and watched them all dance.

When they were done with the song, they decided to take a short break. A guy that is like a year older than her approached her, he asked "Hi, what's your name," in a kind tone as he sat next to her.

She said "Umm... my name is Chin, what about your name," with no emotion as she just stared at the floor.

"I'm Bojing. You're going to be the youngest and the only girl here," he noted. "Wait, really?" She looked around and said "Oh shit, you're right," in a surprised tone. She sighed and said "Oh well, as long as they do anything to me, I won't bite," in a bold tone as she shrugged while getting up.

"Where are you going," he asked in a curious tone as he gets up too.

"To the person that I only know, Xaing," she told him as she looked at him then turn back and walk to Xaing. Bojing was going to tell her something but a guy came to talk with him.

"Xaing, what song is next," she asked in a soft tone.

He replied "You'll know when you hear it. Let's go introduce you to the rest of the dancers," in an excited tone as he dragged her in front of the big mirrors. She tried to stop him but it was too late, he shouted: "Guys, this is Chin, she with be one of the backup dancers for my concert."

Chin said "Hi, my name Chin and I'm Xaing's friend's sister," in a polite tone, then she sightly bowed.

After everyone introduces themselves, Xaing said "Ok, does anyone have questions or do you have any questions for them," as he looked at Chin. She went on her tippy toes to whisper something to Xaing as Xaing bend sideways a little bit.

Xaing stands up straight, smile, and said "Tsk, tsk you have to say it so everyone can hear," in a sarcastic tone.

She took a breath in and said "I asked if there are any other girls that are backup dancers or is just me," in a calm tone.

Bojing said, "Yes there is but the reason you don't see them here is that they're either working with other idols or they're too busy doing something else," then she nodded her head.

A guy in the back asked "How do you have time to learn all of these dances," in a curious tone.

Chin said "Well I learn dances to relieve stress plus I have a lot of free time," in a calm tone as she gave a weak smile.

Another guy asked, "How many songs can you dance to?"

"Um, I actually lost count but if you guys want to, you guys can play any song and I'll see if I know," in a quiet, confident tone. Another guy said "If you say so," in an excited tone as he went to the speaker to play a song as everyone moved to the side to give her space to dance.
