Chapter 157: Want to Act with You.
After more than an hour, Shen Zhiyi, with the script in her arms, slowly shuffled to the study. She peeked around the doorway, looking in.
Pei Yu was still working, his prominent nose adorned with a pair of rimless glasses that gave him an air of indifferent, scholarly decadence. Without looking up, he instantly sensed her presence.
He looked up and asked, "What is it?"
Shen Zhiyi didn’t directly answer but asked instead, "Are you busy?"
"It seems you need something from me," Pei Yu chuckled lightly, shutting his computer, "I’m not busy now. What does Miss Shen need me to do?"
Shen Zhiyi’s eyes curved as she walked over with the script, "I’d like you to help me rehearse my lines. There’s a lot of dialogue for the role I’m auditioning for, and it’s a bit difficult to get into character alone."
She had initially wanted to rehearse with the butler, but he got a headache just looking at the lengthy script and refused repeatedly.
In the large house, there was no one else to help her rehearse, so she had no choice but to "bother" Pei Yu.
"Let me see," he said.
Pei Yu took the script from her hands. The sections marked for the audition were highlighted by her pen—it consisted of three parts, all opposite different characters, requiring the display of vastly differing emotions, demonstrating the complexity of the role she was set to play.
"Any of these three parts is fine," Shen Zhiyi said, giving him the choice while exhibiting an attitude that clearly showed she was asking for a favor.
