    After getting in the car, Sang Ning looked at her clothes through the car window.

    Isn't what she's wearing today more or less the same as usual?

    Sang Ning is afraid of the cold, so she mainly wears clothes in winter to keep warm. Just before going downstairs, she just took a coat casually in the cloakroom, and matched it with a knitted sweater with a small flower pinned on it and jeans, casual yet tasteful.

    After taking a second look, she really didn't see how special she was dressed today.

    Thinking of this, Sang Ning turned to look at the people beside him.

    She guessed that Pei Xilin was just casually saying that he was just praising a gentleman's behavior, so there was no need to think too much about it.

    Sensing her eyes, Pei Xilin turned his head slightly and raised his eyebrows, "Do you have anything to say?"

    "... How long will it take us to go there?" Sang Ning asked.

    Pei Xilin: "Over an hour."

    He looked at the road ahead, and said in a clear voice, "If you're bored, you can take a nap for a while."

    Sang Ning looked at his handsome side face, "Not sleepy."

    She said, "Does Teacher Pei feel bored driving?"

    "No." Pei Xilin answered, paused and said, "Sang Ning."

    Sang Ning: "Huh?"

    Pei Xilin took a moment to look at her and asked, "Why do you keep calling me Teacher Pei?"

    Before Sang Ning could answer, Pei Xilin emphasized, "I am one year younger than Lin Yunyu."

    Sang Ning immediately understood the implication of his words.

    He was younger than Lin Yunyu, she called Lin Yunyu Brother Yun, but she kept calling him teacher, making him seem older.

    But when Sang Ning was asked to call Brother Pei Xilin, she couldn't say it out of nowhere.

    "I..." Sang Ning organized his speech, but Pei Xilin looked at her and said, "Just call me by my full name."

    Sang Ning was taken aback, "Not too good?"

    Pei Xilin raised his eyebrows, "What's wrong?"

    Sang Ning was silent and reminded: "You are a senior."

    "..." Pei Xilin sighed helplessly, "You and I should be considered the same age."

    Sang Ning's lips moved, and Pei Xilin said, "You don't want the full name?"

    Sang Ning raised her eyes and met his light pupils.

    In the afternoon, the less glaring sunlight came in and fell on his eyebrows, making his facial features more three-dimensional and his eyes deeper.

    For a moment, Sang Ning was bewitched by him.

    She couldn't control her mouth, and hurriedly said: "No, I am willing."

    After the words fell, Sang Ning was startled by his answer.

    If you want it, you will, why did she say I am willing? Is this answer too serious?

    Suddenly, she heard Pei Xilin laughing, "Then remember that."

    Sang Ning's ears moved slightly, and she pursed her lips and said, "Yes."

    "..."

    The car became quiet, as if sensing her discomfort, Pei Xilin asked, "Is there any song you want to hear?"

    Sang Ning also felt that some music was needed in the car to break the deadlock, "Yes."

    She reported the name of the song.

    Seeing her happy appearance, Pei Xilin said casually, "You like this song very much?"

    Sang Ning nodded, "I like this singer."

    Pei Xilin understood, "Got it."

    "?"

    Sang Ning was surprised, and was about to ask him what the answer meant, but Pei Xilin changed the subject first and asked her about her audition preparations.

    The two chatted from time to time in the car, accompanied by the sound of music, and it seemed that they were not as restrained and awkward as imagined.

    When she got off the car at the door of Dao Chen's house, Sang Ning was still thinking about how more than an hour passed so quickly.

    Not long ago, Sang Ning was making up movies every day. He had seen many directed by Chen Song, and he knew how good he was.

    He is a director who can make ordinary stories resonate.

    There are countless people in the circle who want to cooperate with him.

    When he makes a movie, he doesn't seem to be telling a story, he is recording his life.

    Sang Ning likes his shooting style very much. She feels very comfortable and it is easy for her to put emotions into it.

    Chen Song's home is not in Lin City, he is from Yucheng, but he has a house in Lin City, and he will stay in Lin City for a few months a year.

    The villa is in the suburbs, very secluded, near the lake.

    When Sang Ning and Pei Xilin got off the car, they noticed that the villa was full of flowers.

    She couldn't hold back and said with emotion: "It's so beautiful."

    Pei Xilin narrowed her eyes, "Like it?"

    "...Mmm." Sang Ning raised her eyes.

    Pei Xilin smiled, looked around, "Go in first."

    Sang Ning nodded.

    Chen Song was alone at home.

    When Sang Ning and Pei Xilin entered, he was still busy with dinner in the kitchen.

    Seeing the two arriving, Pei Xilin introduced to him: "Director Chen, this is Sang Ning."

    Chen Song fixed his gaze on Sang Ning for a moment, then nodded slightly: "Here we are."

    Sang Ning: "Director Chen."

    Chen Song smiled, looked at the two people in front of him, "Can you cook?"

    Sang Ning was startled, and said honestly, "It's easy."

    In the variety show "Nice to Meet You", Sang Ning learned a few simple dishes.

    Chen Song nodded, and turned his gaze to Pei Xilin.

    Pei Xilin: "I'll help you."

    Before Sang Ning could react, she was called to the kitchen by Chen Song, "Come on, I'll give you the vegetarian dishes for tonight."

    He said, "I'm frying the steak, and Xilin came over to help."

    "..."

    Sang Ning was dazed, she never expected such a development.

    How Chen Song learned from her is completely different.

    When she was distracted, Pei Xilin raised his hand and tapped her on the head lightly, with a faint smile in his voice, "Let's go, go help."

    Sang Ning looked at him, "Director Chen—"

    "He doesn't like having too many people at home, so he usually cooks by himself." Pei Xilin explained to her.

    At a loss, Sang Ning followed into the kitchen.

    Three people cooperate.

    There was no big meal, Sang Ning cooked a pasta and fried a vegetarian dish. And Chen Song fried the steak and grilled the fresh shrimp. As for Pei Xilin, he helped make a fruit and vegetable salad while laying hands beside him.

    All the food looked very good when it came to the table.

    Sang Ning wanted to take out her mobile phone to take pictures, but she was embarrassed.

    Suddenly, she saw Pei Xilin take out her mobile phone.

    "Sang Ning."

    Sang Ning looked up.

    Pei Xilin handed her the phone with a gentle expression: "Take two photos for me?"

    After saying this, Chen Song glanced at him, "Since when did you like taking pictures?"

    Pei Xilin: "I've never been in love."

    Chen Song smiled and looked at Sang Ning, "Take a few more photos and save a file for me."

    Sang Ning smiled and agreed: "Okay."

    After taking pictures, the three of them had dinner.

    Chen Song didn't mention the audition, and Sang Ning didn't take the initiative either. She didn't want to spoil the vibe, and she wasn't in that rush.

    After dinner, Pei Xilin took care of the cleaning.

    Sang Ning wanted to help, but was called aside by Chen Song.

    "Director Chen." She stood neatly not far from Chen Song.

    Chen Song looked at her and smiled, "I'm so scary?"

    Sunning Weidun: "No."

    Chen Song hummed, "Sit down." He asked casually, "Xilin showed you the script?"

    Sang Ning nodded.

    Chen Song stared at her deeply, "Do you think you are suitable for this role?"

    "..."

    Sang Ning froze for a moment, raised her eyes to meet his gaze.

    Chen Song's question is not friendly at all. Generally speaking, the director will only ask you what you think after reading the script and what you know about the characters, and then let you perform. And Chen Song asked her directly if she thought she was suitable.

    Be quiet for a moment.

    Sang Ning looked up at him with clear eyes: "How will you know if it's suitable if you don't try it?"

    She pursed her lips, "I dare not say that I am 100% suitable. What I can tell you, Director Chen, is that I like this role very much and I want to play this role well."

    Hearing this, Chen Song stared at her for a moment and smiled to himself.

    "Okay, I see." He lowered his eyes, playing with the cigarette in his hand, "I heard from Xi Lin that you are afraid of water?"

    Sang Ning: "I will overcome."

    Chen Song tilted his head and looked at her, his gaze on Sang Ning made her nervous inexplicably.

    She was angry and was hesitating what to say, but Chen Song smiled and shook his head, "Xilin is really right."

    Sang Ning: "What?"

    She subconsciously looked up.

    Chen Song smiled and said nothing, "You will ask Xilin later."

    He said: "My movie will start in about March." He told Sang Ning, "You go back and tell Wen Xi, and I will ask my assistant to discuss the details with her. Before the end of March, you can accept any movie you want. It's free, but from late March to the end of April, you can't go out for business."

    Chen Song is a director who doesn't allow his cast members to ask for leave.

    Especially newcomers.

    He always felt that the emotions of actors would be affected when they leave the crew and then go back. He hoped that the actors who acted in his own play would regard themselves as people in the movie during that period of time, and be completely in the movie.

    Sang Ning didn't react much until he left from Chen Song's side.

    She got into the car in a daze, turned to look at the person next to her, "Pei..."

    Before the teacher could say a word, Pei Xilin looked at her.

    Sang Ning changed the word teacher into: "Pei Xilin."

    Pei Xilin smiled in satisfaction, "What do you want to say."

    "I mean...have I passed the audition?" Sang Ning was puzzled, and Chen Song didn't even watch her perform.

    Pei Xilin: "Yes. Didn't Director Chen say that he would talk to Wen Xi about the specific details?"

    "But—" Sang Ning was surprised, "Doesn't he even have to audition for me?"

    Pei Xilin smiled, "He has seen your performance in "Shadow"."

    Sang Ning was surprised.

    Pei Xilin added: "He is very familiar with Director Qin."

    Sang Ning understands.

    "Then I passed easily?" She still couldn't believe it.

    Pei Xilin glanced at her, "It's not easy."

    Sang Ning was puzzled.

    Pei Xilin drove her away with a deep voice, "Director Chen has seen your performance, the reason why he didn't audition for you tonight is because what he is looking for is not a mature actor with superb acting skills."

    Hearing this, Sang Ning didn't know whether to be happy or shut up.

    As if guessing what she was thinking, Pei Xilin was helpless: "I'm not saying that your acting skills are immature, you still have a lot of room for improvement. You have aura in acting."

    He looked sideways at Sang Ning with sincere eyes, "When I say mature and exquisite, I mean the skill."

    What Chen Song wanted was never a skilled actor, he wanted a natural, the most natural.

    Sang Ning vaguely understood the meaning of Pei Xilin's words.

    Pei Xilin observed the changes in her expression, and whispered: "Director Chen chooses people based on their feelings."

    Sang Ning couldn't hold back, and laughed: "So the feeling I give to Director Chen is right?"

    "Yeah." Pei Xilin lowered her eyelashes, and her eyes fell on her, "It's not just for Director Chen."

    The smile on Sang Ning's face froze. She originally wanted to ask who else was there besides Director Chen, but when she met Pei Xilin's eyes, she had the answer without asking.

    Although the answer is somewhat inexplicable.

    After being quiet for a while, Sang Ning turned his head to look elsewhere, and said softly, "Does Director Chen always cook by himself?"

    Pei Xilin knew what she was referring to, he thought for a while, and answered her, "Yes. His wife doesn't like outsiders in the family."

    Sang Ning said, "No wonder."

    She was curious, "Didn't his wife come to Lin City?"

    Pei Xilin was slightly startled, closed his eyes and said, "He passed away a few years ago."

    Sang Ning was stunned, and immediately said: "Sorry, I don't know."

    After knowing that he was going to audition with Chen Song, Sang Ning searched him on the Internet and read the information on Baidu Encyclopedia.

    She knew that Chen Song had a wife, but no one knew who his wife was. What was said on the Internet was also vague. Naturally, Sang Ning and many netizens didn't even know that his wife had passed away.

    But whether she knew it or not, she should apologize if she asked something presumptuous.

    Pei Xilin smiled and looked at her, "Try not to ask questions in front of Director Chen."

    Sang Ning said yes.

    The night was thick.

    Sang Ning was able to chat with Pei Xilin at first, but then her eyelids started to fight.Unknowingly, Sang Ning fell asleep.

    Noticing that the person next to him was asleep, Pei Xilin turned on the heating and air conditioning in the car to the maximum.

    Taking advantage of the red light time, he gently put his coat on Sang Ning.

    ...

    When Sang Ning woke up, the car was dark.

    She was sleepy, raised her hand and rubbed her eyes, looked out the window, and saw the familiar elevator entrance.

    After staring at it for a few seconds, she turned to look at the driver's seat.

    Pei Xilin was not in the car.

    Sang Ning was about to get up and get out of the car when the clothes covering her fell to the ground.

    The moment she bent down to pick it up, Pei Xilin opened the car door.
