"You..."
Hui Yin felt her cheeks heat up with embarrassment. That was a defensive strike, alright!
Don't make it sound so sexual!
In the darkness, Hui Yin could only see the vague outline of Lu Shen's face. She was deeply aware that they were too close, and that Lu Shen's lips were just an inch away from hers.
His warm breath caressed her face, and Hui Yin turned her head sideways to evade him.
The light in Lu Shen's eyes dimmed.
So unwilling.
"Sleep," he threatened her, his voice ice-cold.
He moved away from her, and Hui Yin breathed a sigh of relief. Quickly, she rolled to the very far side of the bed, putting as much distance between them as possible.
Since she had to wake up early for her audition tomorrow, Hui Yin immediately fell asleep.
Looking at the face of the girl sleeping peacefully beside him, Lu Shen was in a bad mood.
How could she sleep so easily!
Isn't she even a bit bothered that she's sharing a bed with a man? Look how easy it was for her to ignore him.
Lu Shen shifted his body, and stifled a groan.
It was like a fire had been lit inside him.
His skin felt heated, and he was so hard that it was painful. Inside his head, he started reciting the digits of pi. When that didn't distract him, he tried adding complicated numbers inside his head. But it didn't deter the flames that was slowly consuming him.
He wanted to wake up Hui Yin and take care of the need that was slowly ripping his control into tatters, but he knew better than anyone what her answer would be. So he tried multiplying three-digit numbers, and when that didn't work, division.
Tossing and turning, Lu Shen was kept awake by lust until early morning.
By the time Hui Yin woke up beside him, Lu Shen felt like a mathematical genius.
...
After Lu Shen was picked up by driver Cheng, Hui Yin took a quick shower and called her manager about where the audition was going to be held.
Truthfully, she felt a little nervous.
For a popular male singer like Liu Jun, there would be certainly a lot of A-list stars that would try to take up the role. She even made a deal with Lu Shen just so that she could audition for this PV, so Hui Yin was determined to try her best.
"Don't worry so much about it," Sister Su assured her. "If you don't get this role, I still have a lot of casting calls and auditions here that I think are perfect for you."
Hui Yin felt touched. She knew how much Sister Su suffered by being with her, but she had never tried to pressure Hui Yin. This simple act of kindness nearly made her tear up.
"Thank you, Sister Su."
After she hung up, Hui Yin became even more motivated. She knew that not only would she be casted for the promotional video of <Captive> if she got the part, she would be included in the official music video as well.
It would definitely amount to good publicity.
Hui Yin didn't manage to eat breakfast as she had to catch the long-distance bus to Guangzhou.
By the time she reached the studio where the auditions were going to be held, her stomach was growling with hunger.
