Rebirth of a star - Chapter 7-1

Susu’s worries disappeared.

She passed!

Oh, yeah!

When she saw her name on the list, she quickly called her mother, “Mom, Mom! I passed the exam.”

“Really? come home soon then,” her simple sentence, made her eyes turn red.

During these days in Beijing, she tried to relax, but she was under a lot of pressure. The family’s affection was something she had hoped for in her previous life, and finally she could enjoy it.

Just after the phone call ended, she saw Rong Rong in front of the list.

Her heart sank.

She didn’t see Rong Rong’s name on the list just now.

“Rong Rong,” she went over and took her hand to comfort her, just as she had done to comfort her before.

“m-hm,” Rong Rong smiled. “Susu, I saw your name. Congratulations.”

Susu didn’t know what to say. Now, any comfort seemed empty.

“What about Xiao Miao?” Susu looked around for her, but the girl that had always been inseparable from Rong Rong wasn’t there.

“Xiao Miao also passed. The professor talked to her.” Rong Rong’s mouth shriveled, she wanted to cry because she felt very humiliated. ” Susu, you know, I failed the Film entrance exam, too.”

Suddenly, her tears couldn’t be restrained.

“Whoop, Susu, I really worked hard.” In fact, Rong Rong’s performance wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t good enough.

What a cruel reality for girls under eighteen.

Susu thought silently, in fact, it didn’t just require effort, but also depended on talent and fate. She didn’t say anything, and just hugged Rong Rong and let her cry. The joy of passing the exam turned cold and pale before Rong Rong’s tears. She really liked that lovely and lively girl. In these days, they cheered for each other and encouraged each other, and along the way they formed a profound friendship.

She felt a vibration in her pocket.

Rong Rong let go of Susu, and looked at her innocently with her wet eyes. 

Susu gave her a smile. 

It was Liu Yun! 

“Susu, I have seen the list, I saw your name, congratulations.” Liu’s voice was as gentle as ever. 

“Thank you, sister. So…” Susu didn’t expect Liu Yun to call her and congratulate her. The interpersonal relationship was nurturing the emotion slowly with these small details and little care. Susu was very passive in terms of interpersonal communication, which was related to her personality. Liu Yun’s demonstration made her flattered, but she also felt a little guilty. Liu Yun invited her for an audition, and she had to refuse.

Liu Yun interrupted her, “It doesn’t matter. Learning is more important. I’ll still call you little sister in the future.”

Liu Yun was more exquisite, after all, she was mixed in the entertainment circle for several years. It was always known that an individual got a lot of roads to pick from. This girl has been admitted to the Chinese Opera, and no one can predict her future. Now that it was no longer possible for her to audition, it was better to be generous.

“Thank you, sister Yun,” Susu was really a little shy. Her next words were difficult to say, but she  looked at the side of Rong Rong, and gritted her teeth, “Sister Yun, where are you, I have a girl here who failed. I think she is very qualified, I hope you can give her a chance to try.”

Rong Rong looked at her doubtfully and unconsciously she pulled Susu’s clothes, with a pitiful look.

Liu Yun laughed at the other end of the phone, “Okay, I’m packing in the hotel. Let’s meet at Caifu Restaurant later. You can bring her and have lunch together.”

“Well, thank you, sister.” Susu felt grateful.

“However, I can’t make the decision. I can only recommend her to the director. She has to fight for her own success in audition. It’s the same as what I said to you at that time. I don’t think it’s right,” Liu Yun took precautionary measures.

“That’s all right. I’m satisfied with this opportunity.” Susu was really grateful, she did not expect Liu Yun to give her face.

For Liu Yun, one of her purposes was to pick a “sister” back. If there was a suitable person for the role, that would be alright. And if she didn’t find anyone for the role, the director would pick another actor. As an actress, she had no decision-making power. She gave her face for susu. She just need to make an effort. So what was there to be against?

“Susu, were you just talking about me?” Rong Rong asked in a low voice, because she cried, she felt a little dumb.

“Well, do you know Liu Yun? She was our teacher for the second test.”

“You know, I’ve seen her serial, ha ha,” Rong laughed. “I was a little nervous during the exam that day, I didn’t see her clearly.”

“She asked me to audition for her new play before, and then she said that the film was not well paid and wanted to find a lively girl with a little classical aura.” Susu carefully looked at Rong Rong, white and tender face, eyes a little swollen, her big black eyes. Just after the pear blossoms, the rain turned fine.

“I told her that I was admitted and won’t accept her offer. I recommended you to her, and we will go to dinner with her at noon. You go back and wash your face and wear a little makeup.”  

“Susu, you are so good.” Rong Rong hugged her and kissed her on the face. 

“Stupid,” Susu blushed, and suddenly saw Tang Miao far away, “Xiao Miao is coming.” 

“Xiao Miao–” Rong Rong let go of Susu, and just like Tang Miao, ran. 

Susu stopped in the same place and laughed. What a young girl she was.

Susu went back to her room to pack her luggage.

She got a plane to take at night.
