Chapter 166 The harder you try, the greater your disappointment will be.
I flipped through the pages from the first to the tenth, then to the twentieth, and there was nothing, nothing at all…
Lu Yunjie's expression changed from being full of confidence at the beginning to gradually becoming blank.
How could it not be?
Why not?
He vividly remembered that he and the scheming Yan had a storyline!
But now... why can't I find it after searching for so long?!
Lu Yining almost couldn't bear to watch that devastated expression anymore.
She really wanted to say, "Maybe we should just forget about it."
She remembered that the two had a scene together, but... it seemed like... it was a scene where her third brother was being suppressed and at a disadvantage...
Meanwhile, Lu Yunjie was still diligently searching, patiently going through page after page, his face filled with words like "I will never give up!"
Whether it was heaven's appreciation for his persistence or something else, after searching for most of the day, he actually managed to find some scenes between him and Ji Shiyan.
He looked smug, flicking the script in his hand lightly with his fingers, as if he had finally regained his footing. He raised his chin and glanced at Ji Shiyan disdainfully.
“I’ve found it. Who said it didn’t exist? Let me see what kind of play this is that I’m going to put on with you.”
As he spoke, he lowered his eyes and began reading quickly, skimming through the text.
[Emmm...this scene is...]
The ambiguous atmosphere between Shen Zhuxin and He Ziyuan is growing stronger, and even Shen Zhuxin's younger brother, Shen Tianling, has sensed something is amiss between them.
[Shen Tianling, a sister-obsessed individual, confronted He Ziyuan, declaring he wanted to fight him one-on-one, but was ultimately overwhelmed by He Ziyuan's strength. It was from this point that Shen Tianling began to fear He Ziyuan.]
Having just watched this scene, Lu Yunjie exclaimed: Ningning, you're right...!!!
Ahhhhh, I don't believe it!
I'll keep searching!
I'm sure I can find a scene where I'm not dominated by that scheming woman, and I can even fight back!
Unconvinced, Lu Yunjie continued to search through the script.
Seeing his expression, Ji Shiyan raised an eyebrow and asked knowingly, "What's wrong with you? Didn't you already find a scene? Why are you still looking so long-faced?"
[Uh...is this a provocation? This is blatant provocation, isn't it? Is Shi Yan really that brave?]
Lu Yining stared wide-eyed at Ji Shiyan. Sensing her gaze, Ji Shiyan looked away and met her eyes.
His lips curled up in a charming and alluring smile, like a male fox spirit. Lu Yining, who was already in a daze, was even more captivated by this smile, and her gaze became even more dazed.
Lu Yunjie gritted his teeth, feeling an urge to pounce on Ji Shiyan and give him a good beating.
This guy is trying to seduce his fifth sister again!
How insidious!
"I didn't like that scene. I'll look for another one and see if there's one that I'll be satisfied with."
Lu Yunjie angrily threw down these words, then looked at Lu Yining with increasing dissatisfaction.
"Hui! Snap out of it!"
What's so great about that guy? There are plenty of handsome guys who are much better looking than him!
Why would I like him?
Tea, and treachery...
No, we can't go on like this.
He needs to find an opportunity to introduce Ningning to other men, to broaden her horizons, so she won't just run headlong into any handsome guy she sees!
He'll talk to his mom about it later and ask her to make the arrangements!
The entire Lu family is on the same side!
He believed that his mother would make the most reasonable arrangements!
Ji Shiyan made a "please go ahead" gesture and continued to sit calmly, even closing his eyes slightly to rest.
Seeing that calm demeanor, Lu Yunjie felt another surge of anger. He sped up the speed of flipping through the script, trying to find a scene where he could gain the upper hand in the shortest amount of time.
The harder you try, the greater your disappointment will be.
After he finished reading the entire script, he felt completely powerless, and a look of sadness even appeared on his face.
What a terrible script!
Why does the second male lead, He Ziyuan, have so many memorable scenes? While Shen Zhuxin's younger brother, he has almost none. Is that reasonable?
Huh?! Is this reasonable?!
This is utterly absurd!
He simply threw the script aside and started to give up: "I'm tired, I'm done with the acting, you can leave."
Ji Shiyan seemed to have anticipated this outcome, and his expression was not surprised. Upon hearing this, he did not get up, nor did he intend to leave.
"I was originally planning to act with Ningning. Since you're tired, you should rest. Don't worry about us; we'll take care of everything. You don't need to worry about it."
To be honest, Lu Yining had originally wanted to rehearse with him.
She'd been reading the script all day; she was completely numb.
It would be better to find someone to rehearse with, to liven things up. Maybe the two of them can even get some new inspiration during the rehearsal.
Lu Yining was about to agree when Lu Yunjie, who was standing to the side, quickly interjected, "Didn't you say you were going to eat? Aren't you leaving yet? You should eat early, or you'll get fat if you eat too late."
Is it really necessary to be so wary of him?
Ji Shiyan shook his head helplessly: "Don't you want to check what time it is? Eating at three o'clock, isn't that a bit too early?"
When asked the question, Lu Yunjie was taken aback. He subconsciously looked towards Lu Yining with a question in his eyes.
It's only...only three o'clock??
Lu Yining nodded almost imperceptibly: "Yeah, it's only three o'clock..."
Having received a definite answer, Lu Yunjie pursed his lips. Unwilling to give up, he brainstormed again, trying to find a way to prevent the two from contacting and communicating.
Ji Shiyan, on the other hand, was even faster. With a smile in his eyes, he looked steadily at Lu Yining and asked, "Shall we begin our rehearsal now?"
“Okay,” Lu Yining readily agreed.
[Ji Dashuai is an award-winning actor! His acting skills are top-notch! Just thinking about acting opposite and interacting with someone of his caliber is exhilarating!]
Lu Yunjie: Ancestors of the Lu family, elders of the Lu family, brothers of the Lu family, I'm sorry! I failed to protect my fifth sister. I have let down our ancestors, elders and brothers of the Lu family. Waaah, how could I be so useless!
While Lu Yunjie was still sobbing, Lu Yining and Ji Shiyan, who were standing to the side, had already started reading the script and exchanging ideas with each other.
“I think this scene is pretty good, we can go over it.” Lu Yining pointed to a scene in the script and said to Ji Shiyan.
Upon hearing this, Ji Shiyan leaned closer, his gaze meeting the scene she was pointing to, and quickly skimmed through it. Then he nodded, "I think it's good too, we can give it a try."
