Rebirth of a star - Chapter 5-2

“Cry in five minutes,” Zhang Jingchu casually told her, but obviously it was uncertain if she would shed tears, because just by reciting a little sad prose, it will be easier to get emotions.

Susu entered the mood after a while. Slowly, her eyes began to turn red. Her eyes also showed sadness. Her tears began to drip down.

“OK,” Liu Yun called to halt. Liu Yun looked very gentle, “Good performance. Have you ever studied acting before?”

“No, it’s just self-taught. I like to perform in front of the mirror at home.” Susu showed her shyness appropriately.

“Can you tell me what you just thought of? Were you thinking about the content of the essay just now? Was that why you cried so hard?” Jia Yiping asked.

Susu hung her head in shame, “I kept thinking over and over again that the teachers told me to go back home. Then my tears fell.”

All three judges and teachers were amused, and all of a sudden they were impressed by Susu.

“Today’s the last exam, I hope you can perform better.” Liu Yun had been playing the role of a classical woman, she came to help her mater as a judge, in fact, there was another task to help find a person to play the sister role. 

Lively and pleasant, it was best to bring a little classical atmosphere into the scene, not like the feeling of modern people wearing costumes.

She thought that Susu was very suitable, only except, lacking a little lively feeling. Because she liked the girl very much, she hoped to take her to audition for the role, even if she didn’t pass the exam.

In the last vocal exam, Susu sang a pop song and left directly. The requirement of duet singing in the second test of performance department wasn’t very high.

Susu left the classroom feeling happy, the second test she took wouldn’t be a problem, three tests must be passed.

 “Ah!”, she was slapped on the shoulder.

“Xiao* Miao, will you wait for me?”

Susu turned round to find a girl with a bright smile, when she saw Susu’s face her smile dulled.

“Ah, I have made a mistake.”  

“Well, you looked like my friend from behind. For that, I’m sorry.” The girl was embarrassed.

“Rong Rong, I’ve been looking for you for a long time. What were you doing?” A beautiful girl in a sapphire coat and rimless glasses came over. She should be the girl Rong Rong was looking for.

“I’ve mistaken the person. She looked like you from behind.” Rong Rong grabbed the girl.

“Hello,” said the girl, nodding to Susu as a greeting.  

“Are you in the acting department?”

“Well, what about you? A writer?” the girl who seemed calm asked.

“No, Xiao Miao is the director.” Rong Rong had a distinguished look.

Susu looked at the girl who appeared smart and weak. She was actually a director.

“Have you both done well?” Xiao Miao asked.

“Not yet. I’m going in soon. It’s said that there’s an improvisation play. It’s very difficult.” Rong Rong pouted, she was a lovable and spoiled girl. 

“Fortunately, Xiao Miao helped me choose the topic of recitation. I think it suits me very well.”

Susu thought in silence, “The role of dodder flower and big tree?” They were funny friends.

“Wow, Xiao Miao, look, there’s a handsome man there.” Rong Rong’s eyes lit fiercely bright with a moist look, like a puppy seeing a bone.

Tang Miao didn’t look,”Art school isn’t only for girls, it’s not strange to find handsome guys.”

“I’m familiar with him, eh, it’s Tong Xingei!” Rong Rong continued while observing him from afar.

“They’re all as old as you. They’re no longer children,” Tang Miao continued attacking her.

Wow, she was so calm. Susu couldn’t help feeling that such a character was too good.

“Zhong Qing Rong.” Another candidate came out, obviously with an expression of frustration.

“Well, I’m going.” Rong Rong stuffed the bag into Tang Miao’s hand and entered the classroom.

“Xiao Miao, did you do well in the exam?” Susu was alright with talking to her. This may be a future classmate, and it was right to make relationships.

Tang Miao found a corner and sat down,”Well, it was quite simple.”

Susu stayed quiet for a while, although she didn’t know the exam content, but she thought that there were few who would say that it was very simple.

Neither of them talked much as they had just knew each other and had a few casual chats.

They saw Rong Rong jumping out, “I did not say anything wrong, and the teacher felt that the content of the recitation was very suitable for me.” Rong Rong’s eyebrows crooked with laughter.

“What else?” Tang Miao returned the bag to her and turned to Susu, “It’s almost time for dinner. Shall we go to dinner together?”

“Yeah, yeah, come along. By the way, what’s your name?”

In a strange city, it felt good to have a sincere invitation.

Susu nodded and smiled, “Alright, my name is Yu Susu.”

*Xiao is a nickname used between friends
