Chapter 119:

Jian Shiwu never thought that one day he would actually have to learn how to seduce a man. But he really liked the role of Ling Chen and wanted to try it out.

Lui Heng said, "Have you passed?"

Jian Shiwu shook his head honestly: "No, I didn't."

Lui Heng was a little surprised and embarrassed: "How come, didn't director Wang think highly of you?"

Jian Shiwu told him what he had said in the audition room.

Lui Heng was dumbfounded after hearing this, after all, in his opinion, Jian Shiwu's appearance is one of the best in the entire entertainment industry, to use an exaggerated term, it can even be considered very suitable, plus the fact that director Wang asked for him by name, he thought this time would be fool proof.

Lui Heng scratched his head: "Why is that?"

He said, "I think what the director said makes sense, after all, it's in respect for the character."

Lui Heng seemed to understand.

Jian Shiwu is a person who will try to do well when he decides to do something, so when he decided to play the role properly, he worked hard. So when he came for the audition today, his parents also knew about it, so he had to go home first to report.

When he got home, it was already after dusk, and Zhen Meili had already prepared dinner. When she saw him coming back, she was carrying a bag and asked, "Did you pass the audition?"

Jian Shiwu replied as he changed his shoes in the foyer, "No."

He thought Zhen Meili would at least be surprised, but what he didn't expect was for the woman to say, "That's normal."

He was stunned, and asked, "Why?"

The only dish on the table was a piece of braised pork, and the woman's delicate hands sprinkled the fish with chopped green onions before she said, "Studying a character well doesn't mean that you can succeed just by memorising the lines and understanding his psychology. You need to experience his life before you can become him. "

Jian’s hand shook and almost spilled the fish.

He looked up at his mother in shock, as if what Zhen Meili had just said was some kind of international joke.

But Zhen Meili asked, "What are you looking at your mother like that for, is what I said wrong?"

"No but," Jian Shiwu said with some hesitation, "How am I going to experience it, this role is so specific, I don't know where to go to experience it."

Zhen Meili gave him a blank look, "Go to a hotel, go and observe those popular ones, go and see how they act."

"Also, you have this form." Zhen Mei Li poked him in the head: "Pay attention to this character of Zhan Ling Shen, his identity, he is a peerless beauty in the capital, do you think just having a skin is worthy of the absolute praise. He has mastery of the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, do you have some of the elegance and charm his hands and feet have, you are like a walking piece of wood now. "

Jiam Shiwu was rendered speechless, he wanted to retort, opened his mouth, but hd did not know what to retort, and finally could only inquire said, "Then what?"

Zhen Mei Li said with a smile on her lips, "Eat first."

Jian Shiwu was very uneasy about this meal, and when he finished eating Zhen Meili took him out and drove to a place that Jian Shiwu had never heard of before. The hall was very classically decorated, and when he entered, there were many guests sitting, a woman on stage was wearing a veil and singing a song in a low voice.

She was a very tasteful woman, wearing a cheongsam, with a charming look between her eyes.

Zhen Meili whispered, "See, that's what counts as a pillar."

Jian Shiwu looked up at the person on stage and he was actually unconsciously captivated. When the song was over, there was thunderous applause from the stage, the woman came off the stage, Zhen Meili immediately greeted her, she said to the woman, "Lily, long time no see."

The woman known as Lily was a little surprised, "Why did you have time to come over."

"There's something I need to ask you..."

Zhen Mei Li attached her mouth to Lily and whispered something in her ear, Lily's eyes looked at Jian Shiwu's body a little strangely before she nodded and said, "As expected of your son, the foundation is good, you are really leaving him to me?"

Zhen Mei Li nodded, "Well, I'm relieved to leave him to you."

Lily hooked her lips into a smile as he said to Jian Shiwu, "Jian are right, you come with me."

Jian Shiwu felt as if he had become a fat sheep off to be slaughtered.

After being led backstage, Lily lit a cigarette and then said to Jian Shiwu, "Have you ever learnt to dance?"

Jian nodded, "I know a little."

Lily seemed to smile, and then she pointed to the mask on the table, "Put it on."

Puzzled, Jian Shiwu picked up the mask and then put it on face as Lily watched. Next he saw Lily take another cloak and put it on him, completely covering his exterior form, before she said to him, "You go outside and dance a bit for the guests on the stage."

Jian Shiwu:?!

Lily's gaze snapped a little as she said, "No?"

Jian asked, "Any dance at all?"

Lily didn't give him a hard time, but also put on a jacket, her body looked swollen due to the layers. She twisted a few times in front of Jian Shiwu, by the pillars of the room, her movements were smooth and sleek, it was not clear what kind of body was under the jacket, but it was just charming, evocative, naturally flirtatious.

Lily finished her demonstration before saying to Jian Shiwu, "Will that do?"

Jian Shiwu: "......"

Lily didn't rush him, "I'll give you some dance videos, you take them and relate to them, when you feel you your dance can be evocative, come to me."

Unfortunately Jian didn’t have that much time, he only had three days.

He watched the dance video Lily had given him back and forth hundreds of times, over and over again all evening, having a foundation in dance himself, it was quick to learn, but it was hard to make that kind of naturalness and charm.

And it was always hard to find the form.

In the end, it was Lily who couldn't stand it anymore, and went up to correct a few of Jian’s postures, and re-blended the softness, before finally seeing the dark circles under his eyes, she said, "Go back and rest, and come back tomorrow."

Jian Shiwu humbly nodded; "Okay."

But he actually couldn’t rest well at all, on the way back he was still repeating the dance moves, and even put the coat on his body, remembering what Lily said about attracting reverie, and what director Wang said, looking for someone to practice. Jian Siwu was thinking about whether to practise on Shen Cheng .

The phone rang and it was Shen Cheng sending him a message, "Flying back tomorrow night."

Jian Shiwu was pleasantly surprised: "Then I'll come and find you then."

Shen Cheng: "Hmm."

Jian Shiwu hesitated for a moment and said, "Since you're coming back, I've prepared a receiving gift for you."

Shen Cheng was a bit interested: "What."

"You'll find out when you come back!"

Jian Shiwu decided to keep a bit of a mystery.

Shen Cheng was in M country, only coming back now from the business trip. He had a house in the city centre, where he stays instead of returning to the Ji mansion. The next day Jian Shiwu arrived early, wearing a long-sleeved shirt, ready to let Shen Cheng test his dance practise results.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the lock on the mansion's electronic fingerprint opened.

Shen Cheng opened the door and what met his eyes was the person twisting and dancing under the lights of the living room, wearing a long black cloak and a mask over his face, the movements were seductively ambiguous but really magical.

At last, Jian Shiwu finished dancing, gasping for breath and walking shyly to Shen Cheng; "What do you think."

Shen Cheng opened his lips, "That’s my gift?"

Jian Shiwu nodded sheepishly, "How about it?"

Shen Cheng stood in front of him, looking at Jian Shiwu's expectant gaze, he opened his mouth to ask: "Were you having a fit?"
