Chapter 34 - A man seen countless women
n
n
nCompared with them, Xia Nuan felt that she was not good at being a model. But in order to make money, she had to attend the audition reluctantly.
n“Hurry up! Get yourselves ready.” A staff walked into the fitting room and urged them.
nA few beautiful female models hurriedly walked out of the fitting room in a walk-through manner. In order to show their best performances, they cared about their hairstyles and makeups before they walked out of the room.
n
n
nXia Nuan tried to walk cat steps in their way. Unfortunately, she sprained her ankle.
n“Hey, Xia Nuan, you stop there!” The staff were dissatisfied with her performance. She walked over and took her aside.
n“Look at yourself! Can’t you take care of your hair? And your makeups. I don’t think you powered any foundation at all. We ask you to wear bare makeups for the audition, but that doesn’t mean you can wear a natural face. Hurry up! Redo it.” The staff pulled Xia Nuan to the floor mirror.
nXia Nuan looked at the plain jane girl in the mirror and frowned.
n
n
nThen she picked up a lip gloss awkwardly and applied it on her lips.
nAt this time, assistant Pin came over and urged her, “There is one left. Hurry up, Xia Nuan! We are waiting for you!”
n“Okay. I’m coming.” Xia Nuan drew her eyebrows, scattered her hair on her waist, and pulled the low collar up. Then she took a deep breath and went out.
nOn the other side of the T platform, the dynamic and rhythmic music rang out.
n
n
nThe voice of the sound was natural and magic, which made people can’t help but want to follow the music on the beat.
nIt was Ye Sichen’s music.
nShe did not expect that the background music of the audition was his song.
nAs Xia Nuan’s mind wandered, the staff came over and looked at her up and down. Then he brought her fluffy long hair from her chest to her waist and lowered her collar a little bit down.
n“Relax yourself! Don’t be nervous! The most important thing is to be confident.”
nThe staff warned her in her ear, but she couldn’t cover her excitement inside.
n
n
nBecause the judges for this audition included one who was an important figure. He enjoyed a unique reputation in the music field.
nHis name would be enough to make people scream crazily.
nJust now, there were already a few staff members who couldn’t control their emotions and almost fainted.
nXia Nuan just nodded, without noticing the staff’s inside emotions.
nBefore she stepped on the T-stage, she reminded herself that she should treat everything in front of her as nothing and try her best to perform better.
nOnly when she ignored dozens of eyes staring at her could she feel a little relaxed.
n“The next one!” Pin came over and interrupted her thoughts.
nXia Nuan followed the beat of the music and walked onto the T-stage. From backstage to the stage, she appeared in front of the judges.
n
n
nXia Nuan strode straightly forward without any thoughts.
nSuddenly, someone appeared into her sight by surprise. Her mind became blank and her pace had paused for a second.
nThat was Ye Sichen.
nHis name was uttered inside her heart. She was not as calm as a moment ago. She became nervous and her heart was thumping as a deer.
nYe Sichen sat at the middle of the judges’ seats. He was in his regular black. At this time, his eyes were fixed on her body, scanning her like X-rays.
nHe chewed a gum slowly and watched Xia Nuan following the music beat. He acted and examined her like a senior master.
nThere were two judges, Ye Sichen and Lan Qing.
nLan Qing was hired by Ye Sichen. They really got each other and clicked each other in terms of selecting people.
nXia Nuan’s appearance took Lan Qing’s breath away.
nThis girl was implicitly shy. However, she did not suffer from stage fright. She appeared to be tenacious and confident, which showed that she was very attractive. The ice blue bikini covering on her body rendered her perfect figure.
n“What’s this girl’s name?”
nLan Qing could not help but ask Helen behind him.
nHelen looked at Ye Sichen and smiled, “Xia Nuan. In addition, she was explored at Chen’s family. What do you think of her, Director Lan?”
n
n
nHelen didn’t come here as a judge, but as a junior in this industry. She humbly came here to study how the senior leaders and music bosses selected models accurately.
nWhen Lan Qing heard it, he was suddenly aware of something. His thin lips under the beard aroused. He looked at Ye Sichen and said, “Ye, did you come here for her?”
nThe conditions for the cooperation between Ye Sichen and AGE was to replace the director Roger with Lan Qing. Did it have something to do with Xia Nuan’s audition?
nYe Sichen covered up his attention to Xia Nuan, and responded to Lan Qing casually, “You’re reading too much into it.”
nLan Qing was noncommittal with a laugh and continued to appreciate the “beautiful scene” on the stage.
nXia Nuan did not know how she walked out of the stage. The moment she recalled her thoughts, she had already leaned against the wall, covering her chest and gasping for air.
nThe judge turned out to be Ye Sichen, which was beyond her expectation.
nWhen she thought of the moment that she was examined by Ye Sichen as she showed on the T-stage, she felt that her pulse and even every cell began to tremble.
nAfter all the heroine candidates showed through the stage, they went to the backstage for five minutes rest. Then they returned to the stage, waiting for the final result releasing from the judges.
nThe female models were extremely excited, especially when the judges they would meet included Ye Sichen. For fear of fainting, they took smelling salt with them at any time to keep their minds clear.
n“Ye, who do you choose?” Lan Qing picked Xia Nuan.
nHis gut told him that Ye Sichen would pick Xia Nuan as well. They had the same aesthetics in picking actors. All of the previous MV female heroine actresses were elected by their consensus of opinions.
nHelen thought the same cause she was confident about herself.
nXia Nuan was awesome tonight. Helen herself couldn’t help appreciating Xia Nuan when she was on the stage, let alone a man.
n“Candidate No.6.” Ye Sichen said concisely.
nLan Qing appeared to be static suddenly.
nThis time, they did not have the tacit understandings as before.
nCandidate No.6 was a blonde girl. It was not Xia Nuan.
nHelen couldn’t believe it as well. However, as the “King of Music”, Ye Sichen went for perfection. How could such a person be wrong? Even if he was wrong, Helen did not dare to defend against him.
nLan Qing held his glasses, “Okay, Candidate No.6 then.”
nLater, they continued to pick a few bikini girls as supporting roles. However, Xia Nuan was not included among them.
nShe failed in the audition.
nHelen and Lan Qing took the selected bikini girls to locate sea scenes, preparing for the all-round shooting of the music short film.
nEddie Cineplex was jammed with fans for the arrival of Ye Sichen. Ye Sichen quickly got on the car under the support of his bodyguards.
nXia Nuan squeezed out from the crowd eventually and was about to take a taxi back to the villa.
nStanding in middle of the road, she saw a black car parking in front of her when she was waiting for a taxi. A man rolled down the car window. It was Ye Sichen inside.
nThe driver was Uncle Xiang.
n“Come on! Mr. Ye calls you to get on.”
nXia Nuan gazed blankly for a moment and then opened the door.
nAfter she got on the car, she found that Wuyou and Nianci were here as well. They were sleeping in the stroller.
nXia Nuan tied up her scattered long hair and looked outside the window with embarrassment.
nIt was extremely quiet inside the car, which made Xia Nuan somewhat depressed. She wanted to ease up the atmosphere.
nWhen she was ready to say something, Ye Sichen began to break the ice.
n“Do you know why you were eliminated?” Ye Sichen asked.
nXia Nuan pretended to make a light smile, “I have no experience and I have never been a model. To be honest, it’s no surprise that I failed.”
n“You were too exposed and were lack of mystery.” Ye Sichen looked straight ahead and slowly said word by word.
nXia Nuan bit her lips without a word.
nBut she defended against him inside. Other models wore even less than her. The T-back they wore was simply a piece of cloth strung by two lines. They were almost naked. How come they were selected by him?
n“Besides, your bust size is a little bit large. You were neither a plump beauty or a boney beauty. You look very uncoordinated.” Ye Sichen said sharply.
n“Yes, sir. After all, you have already seen countless women. It’s natural that your standards are high.” Xia Nuan refuted sourly.
n“Right! So, you are more suitable to be a babysitter for Wuyou and Nianci.” He squinted and looked at her.
n“…” There was nothing for Xia Nuan to say. She felt really bad about it.
nIn his eyes, she was nothing but a babysitter.
nHowever, that was not what she cared about. What she really cared about was that she couldn’t get a high salary thanks to the audition failure.
nIt finally turned out that she still had to making money from Ye Sichen.
nXia Nuan took a deep breath and adjusted her mind. She smiled and said, “Anyway, I appreciate Mr. and Mrs. Ye for giving me this opportunity. Although I failed the audition, I have learned a lot from it.”
nYe Sichen did not say anything and looked out of the window.
n“Actually, I need to tell you something, Mr. Ye…” Xia Nuan reorganized her plan, which was brewed in her mind for a long time, and prepared to speak it out in a clear and orderly way.
n“What is it?” Ye Sichen asked.
nXia Nuan answered, “I have met many elders and children with terminal illness by coincidence. When I went to visit them, some of them could not be cured. They were waiting for death. I feel sad to witness them facing death. I want to do my best to help them.”
nHearing it, Ye Sichen frowned and felt very sorry about it.
n“Where are they? I can spare time to visit them.” He couldn’t stand to see their sufferings and sorrows, especially the poor and the weak.
nHe was born with a kind heart. Besides music, what he really cared about was charity. He would fly over to the place where there had a war and rescue those children and adults suffering from the flames of war.
nHe was with such consciousness at a young age. Sometimes he dreamed of countless displaced children, crying helplessly under gunfire. When he woke up, he would be frightened in cold sweats.
nThis dream had accompanied him since his childhood. The more he got older, the more he felt he should do something for those victims.
nHearing it, Xia Nuan was in a panic and she concealed her feelings in a good way, “No, sir, you don’t have to go there in person. Every time you go to a place, you will cause traffic jams. How about this? I have an idea.”
