Chapter 55: His Acting Is Better

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Lin Jiao looked into his eyes and suddenly felt that his acting skills were better.

She snorted. “You’re not being serious enough!”

Pei Zhi fought back the urge to burst out laughing.

He rubbed the top of her head and said gently, “Don’t be angry. I promise I won’t talk to them.”

“What else?”

“I won’t even look at them.”

“That’s better.” Lin Jiao raised her chin at the table and called out, “I want to eat oranges. Peel one for me.”

“Alright.” Pei Zhi wanted to stand up.

He glanced at the actress indifferently and said in a different tone, “Please make way.”

“I’m sorry.” After saying that, she left awkwardly, not in the mood to chat.

Perhaps because she had told some of the other actresses about this, there were clearly fewer women who came to talk to Pei Zhi.

Lin Jiao was more and more into her role. She was just short of asking Pei Zhi to hold the loudspeaker and apologize.

After scaring away the last actress, she leaned against the sofa and asked them, “My acting is terrific, right?”

“Not bad.” Shen Yi held back his laughter.

This was the first time he had seen Pei Zhi so cowardly. He regretted not recording it. “President Pei is also quite cooperative.”

“I think there’s one thing that you didn’t do well enough.” Director Pei Yilan commented in a serious tone, “For example, when he rubbed your head, you should do something in response.”

Lin Jiao thought about it and agreed. “Then did they believe it?” She had been focusing on her acting with Pei Zhi and did not pay attention to the reactions of the actresses.

“It seems like they did.” Pei Yilan stuffed a piece of fruit into her mouth. “If there’s ample light, you have to pay attention to your eye expression. Otherwise, you’ll expose yourself.”

Lin Jiao knew at a glance that Pei Yilan was in the mood to direct. She smiled and said, “Why don’t you demonstrate?”

“Alright.” Pei Yilan quickly swallowed the fruit.

She looked at Jiang Ye not far away, her eyes filled with joy and love. “Look closely. This is what eye expression means.”

Lin Jiao was speechless.

Shen Yi asked, “Who are you looking at?” With his intuition, he felt that Pei Yilan was in love.

“I’m not looking at anyone in particular. I’m just performing.”

“Is that so?”

Pei Yilan said calmly, “Yes.”

“I used to study psychology.” Shen Yi paused for a few seconds before exposing her. “When people lie, they look to the right.”

Pei Yilan’s heart skipped a beat.

“My eyes are just a little fatigued.” She rubbed her eyes down and leaned over to show him her red eyes. “You’re thinking too much.”

Shen Yi smiled meaningfully.

Instead of answering her, he pointed at Jiang Ye, who was wearing a black suit, and said, “You have good taste.”

Pei Yilan was dumb struck.

She pursed her lips and was about to quibble when she was interrupted by Pei Zhi.

“When did this happen?” Pei Zhi looked at her inquisitively. The pressure he exuded was not something she could withstand.

Pei Yilan confessed, “It’s happening yet.”

“It’s about to happen?”

“No, we’ve only known each other for a few days.”

Pei Zhi did not stop her and only reminded her, “You can fall in love, but you can’t spend money on him.”

“I swear I will not spend a dime on him!”

Lin Jiao, who received a nudge from Pei Yilan, looked at Pei Zhi with her big eyes. “Uncle, I’ll watch over her.”

“Okay.” Pei Zhi’s expression softened.

He handed them the peeled oranges. When he saw Chu Yuzhou coming over, he teased, “Are you done chatting?”
