First Meeting

"You should learn this script in an hour and get ready to perform. This script is from one of the most popular web novels. You are lucky to give it a try and if you do well, there will be an opportunity waiting for you." Zhang Wang said and passed the script to Chen Shanyuan.

"Oh, okay." Shanyuan received the walk to another quiet room.

"Hey, system are you there?" 

The system makes a humming noise to show it was there. 

"See what I told you, no one can resist beauties. The opportunity came really quickly." Shanyuan started bragging in front of the system again. 

"Yes, the host is smart." Seems like his worry was for nothing. 

Chen Shanyuan read over the script and was at a loss. There wasn't enough information on the script. Only the dialogues and didn't explain how he was supposed to act. It seems like this was really a tryout. But from dialogues, he noticed that it was when the  Young Master Han got broken, the important start of the series. 

Seeing Shanyuan stood, looking at the script in a daze, the system worriedly asked, "Host are you okay? You seem…"

Before the system could finish, Shanyuan's eyes shone with excitement, "System, I have made up my mind. I chose the acting skills."

"OH, OK." The system was perplexed by the quick change in expression but it still answered. "Acting skills transferring,  1 … 18 … 27 ….. 46 … 59 … 70 … 84 … 99 … 100. Acting skills are complete. Congratulations to the host for learning a new skill."

"I knew you were the best, thank you." Shanyuan was overjoyed. New life, new career. 

Half an hour later, Chen was standing fearlessly on the stage with the second male lead. Chen Shanyuan is playing Han Meng who is the protagonist and Bai Feng is playing Zhou Jain the second male lead. It was because of him that Han Meng thoroughly experience heartbreak and become completely broken. 

Chen Shanyuan was burning with excitement he couldn't wait to give his new skill a try. Of course, he believes in the system, after his charm was increased to 100% and the cooking skill he learned this morning. 

Nie Jiang set up the cameras and other stuff.  When he was done, he nodded and Zhang Wang shouted "begin!"

"I've told you already. It's up to you to believe it or not." The man's (Zhou Jian) voice was low and carried coldness within.

"If it's not me, then who?" Han Meng's throat felt dry and his soft voice sounded a little harsh. 

"You're asking me?" Seeing his tense appearance, the Zhou Jian voice carried laughter. "Shouldn't you know already, or have you been hit in the head?"

"I love you. " said Han Meng who hugged the taller man with his trembling hands, "I really do." He repeated 

"People change, Han Meng. I am ready to move forward. This relationship will not last, let's stop here now before we hurt each other more." The Zhou Jain said coldly with no emotion 

Han Meng was immediately shocked and lifeless. He looked at the man with empty eyes as if he couldn't believe it. Were all the promises they made together in vain? Was Zhan Jian's plan just to use him and then abandon him in the end? No! He refused to believe it.

"N-no, no no no no, y-you said that you love me and we were meant for each other! Moving forward? Why can't we move forward together? Do… Do you not like my looks anymore? Do you not like how I behave sometimes? Tell me, I-I can change. I'll do anything you want! Please, please, please don't leave me. You're all I have left." He sobs as his voice grows weaker.

The man didn't feel sorry for him at all and still mercilessly said, "I just don't love you anymore. My feelings have changed. I have Han Ying now… so, let's break up!"

"Zhou Jian, you can't do this to me. You promise me. Why? Why? Didn't I trust you enough? Why have you ... I have given you everything I have and what did you do? You … you … you … "

With tears rolling down his face, Han Meng took an Involuntary step backward. The pain in his chest became worse and worse 

He didn't know if his heart hurt physically or emotionally, it was so painful that cold sweat appeared on his skin. His legs began to weaken and he lost breath and fell. 

"CUT!!!" shouted director Zhang Wang. His eyes were shining with emotional excitement. "That was a good work." 

Even the auditionees and staff members were also lost in the moment. Those that were at the door also came in at some moment in time. 

"Nie Jiang, you have good eyes as ever." Compliment Zhang Wang. 

Nie Jiang was also happy, he laughed. "It was uncle Wu that recommended him to me."

He was able to catch the eyes of uncle Wu, which is something that rarely happens to new commons.

At the end of the audition, Chen Shanyuan made a name for himself and the director said he would get back to him later. It was almost time to pick up his son from school. He didn't know if the boy have a good or bad today. This makes him a little annoyed. 

Just when Chen Shanyuan was deep in thought, he felt something grab his wrist and dragged him in a nearby corner. 

Just Chen Shanyuan was about to get angry at the bastard that just dragged him out of nowhere, hear a deep voice beside his ear. "Why did you leave without saying goodbye?"

Holy shit! Chen Shanyuan had a bad perception. He slowly lifted his head up and sure enough, the face in front of him was that of the male lead Wei Xue! 

Chen Shanyuan's heart skip a beat and he quickly lowered his head in panic. It is over, now he would be dead for sure. How did the male lead recognize so quickly? Now, what should he do? 

After coming down, Chen Shanyuan chuckled and remove the hand on his wrist. "Sir, I haven't seen you before. I think you've recognized the wrong person." He didn't wait for Wei Xue's response and quickly walked away. 

"Sir, do you need me to go after him?" The assistant asked. 

Wei Xue took a deep look at Chen Shanyuan's figure and shook his head. "No need."
