“It’s alright, I know you were busy,” Luosang silently sighed in relief. It seemed that what happened to her and Yan Su tonight at the party didn’t spread. “I’ve arrived at the school already,” she continued.

“I was going to send you back,” said Chi Shengxu regrettably, “Did Director Zhang tell you anything? Did he promise you any chance?”

“Director Zhang is a nice person. He said that he’ll help me if there’s a chance,” said Luosang.

“That’s great. I’ll definitely ask you to dub for my next film. I know that you can do perfect male voices too. I’ll go back to school for classes lately. We should go to Professor Cheng’s class together. And, I need to treat you to dinner to apologize for not being able to take good care of you tonight. Bye.” Chi Shengxu hung up the phone before Luosang finished her talking.

Luosang looked at her phone and gave a bitter smile. She knew that even if Chi Shengxu requested to work with her, his director wouldn’t agree.

“Someone has a lot of good fortune in love affairs lately,” Yan Su joked.

“Let’s go back,” said Luosang.

…

As the Maybach was driving on the broad road, Lu Kang coughed slightly and asked, “Mr. Nian, do we have a video meeting in half an hour? Why don’t I know about that?”

“Did I say that just now?” Said Nian Junting, “I might have misremembered. No, we don’t have any video meeting.”

Lu Kang was quite speechless. ‘Mr. Nian, you’re better and better at talking barefaced nonsense,’ he thought.

“You’ve done a good job tonight. I’ll give you a pay rise. Work harder,” Nian Junting lowered his head to look at his watch, then continued, “It’s early. Let’s go to the bookstore.”

“Bookstore?”

“Yeah, I need to get a book about horoscope. Otherwise, if Luosang asks me about that tomorrow, I’d be embarrassed as I have no knowledge of it.”

‘It would be impossible for you to feel embarrassed,’ thought Lu Kang.

Lu Kang even wanted to cry, but failed to shed any tears. It was late at night, but he still needed to accompany his boss to the bookstore to buy a book about horoscope.

One o’clock in the morning, Tang Ning and Ye Chuen returned to the dorm together, both seemed to be in a good mood. Their laughter woke Luosang up.

“Luosang, why didn’t you tell me when you left?” Tang Ning said in a complaining way. Before Luosang responded, she continued, “I’m telling you this, Chuen got me a dubbing job tonight. I’ll be dubbing for one of the supporting actresses in a film. I’m really happy about that. I’ve decided that I’ll become a professional dubber.”

“Yeah? Congratulations. I was too tired, so I came back without you. I figured that you’d come back with Chuen, so I didn’t interrupt you,” Luosang gave a smile, but with a bitter feeling. Her dubbing skill was way better than Tang Ning’s, but the latter had got a job, while she had fewer and fewer opportunities.

While removing her makeup, Ye Chuen asked meaningfully, “I guess Chi Shengxu and Junting have introduced some people to you, right? I didn’t think that you knew Junting. How did you know him? Why didn’t I hear you mention that?”

“Me and Mr. Nian are just acquaintances. We don’t know each other well,” said Luosang flatly.

“I doubt it. Luo, you’re not keeping secrets from us, are you?” Tang Ning raised her eyebrows and asked.

Somehow, Luosang felt annoyed. “Why would I lie to you? I said no, and I mean it.”

“Alright, Tang Ning, stop overthinking it. Luo doesn’t seem to be in a good mood. Let’s get to bed now. We’ve all had a long day,” Ye Chuen smoothly ended the topic, then the dorm quieted back down.

However, in the darkness, Luosang couldn’t fall asleep.

…

The next morning, after the morning class, Luosang arrived at Jinding International at ten o’clock in the morning.

Yi Jingxi who was absent for days had been sitting in the couch lazily, drinking coffee. He was wearing a grey sweater, looking very elegant among the coiling steams.
