140 Audition

Anything is possible in life as long as you wholeheartedly believe in it. You have to believe that you can do it, you have to believe that you deserve it and you have to believe that you'll get it!

This belief is what leads you to unexpected results.

However, how many people do you find in life who believes in your more than even you believe yourself? It definitely doesn't happen often.

For Hyson, this was his driving force. The belief of everyone in his life. Whether it was his mother or Raelle, this belief had gotten him where he was today.

From the first day he met her, Raelle had rarely called him 'Yue Fai.' In fact, even before his debut as a singer, she had been calling him Hyson. She always said that the name suited him. She always said he was supposed to thrive.

And today, once again, this belief had made all his misgivings disappear. That slight doubt he had in his heart vanished with Raelle's simple words. When even he didn't believe in himself, she'd still believe in him. And that was the beauty of the bond they shared.

With a renewed faith in himself, Hyson finally entered the audition hall.

Only after entering did he take off his cap and ran a hand through his hair to fix it before he fixed his jacket as well to make himself look presentable before the casting director.

Before him, six people were seated. Four of which were women and while the other two were men. And Hyson could only recognize one face and that was of He Rou. The female lead for 'Secret.'

As for the others, he honestly didn't know much.

While he was observing the faces of everyone, the rest were also evaluating his looks. But there was one fervent gaze that had been stuck on his from the moment, he took off his cap.

"I want him," those words were spoken softly and only the person sitting beside her could hear it.

Giving her a displeased look, the other person said, "Sora, don't be impulsive."

The original author of the series, Sora gave her friend a look as she replied, "Mia, I'm not being impulsive. He really looks like the perfect 'Yang Anyu' in my mind."

Amiah Jade, the director of this movie was clearly not pleased to hear that. "I don't care what image you have in your mind. I want to see his skills first." She gave her a look as she added, "I'm sure if you're just looking for pretty faces, you wouldn't have called me to become a part of this project."

Sora leaned back in her chair as she sighed out, "That's true."

Hyson introduced himself with a pleasant smile on his face. Soon, he was given a scene to act out.

But in truth, Yang Anyu was an innocent soul who was tainted by the darkness of this world and had to change himself. Behind his devilish smile, he didn't hide his unscrupulous heart but instead, he was hiding his bleeding and aching heart.

The scene he had to act out was actually a very important scene in the book. It was the turning point of the female lead's fate along with the beginning of Yang Anyu's self-torture. It was the scene where Yang Anyu stabbed the protagonist, Lin Lan's heart after an intense confrontation.

"He Rou," called out Sora. "How about accompanying him for this scene? For better effects?"

Since it was the author's suggestion, naturally no one objected to it. Soon, the female lead, He Rou stood up and joined Hyson at the front.

Hyson gave her a smile, "I'm in your care, Senior He."

He Rou didn't return his smile but instead gave him a nod of acknowledgment.

Hyson took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and let Raelle's words rang in his mind repeatedly, 'Deception! You have to embrace your character. Deceive yourself to deceive others.' And just as he opened his eyes, the look in his eyes completely changed just as his smile also vanished.

The way his eyes displayed the emotional struggle, helplessness, pain, and love, was truly remarkable. He had truly embraced Yang Anyu's character who seemingly was a selfish and heartless man but who loved Lin Lan more than anyone else.

He Rou was an exceptional actress. She portrayed the feelings of betrayal, pain, love, and disbelief through her eyes as she stared at Yang Anyu whom she had loved for years.

"If I ever got the chance to come back, I'll kill you with my own hands Yang Anyu!" were Lin Lan's last words as she took her final breath.

Yang Anyu held her falling body in his embrace carefully. Holding her close to his chest, his eyes looked at her face longingly as he said, "I'll keep myself alive. So, you better come back to take this life."

It was Sora who stood up and clapped excitedly seeing the scene before her. Now, she was all the more certain that she found her Yang Anyu.

Amiah Jade had to hold her sleeve and pull her down to her seat saying, "Don't be so excited."

"I can't help it," was her response. In her opinion, Yang Anyu was the most important character in her book. He wasn't the male lead but he was the character with the most depth. Although he was shown as a villain as the story progressed, he was anything but...

That's why she had been so worried about finding the right person to play this character.

Meanwhile, He Rou also stood up and her gaze towards Hyson gazed. She looked at him carefully as she said in a soft voice, "It'll be interesting working with you."

Hyson didn't get her meaning as he stared at her walking back to her seat. Although the author herself had applauded for his performance, he was still told like others to go back first while their team would inform him about the result within a couple of days.

However, Hyson wasn't feeling anxious about it any longer. He was perfectly satisfied with his own performance. And that's why he happily made his way out and found his manager waiting for him outside the building.

"Ge, didn't I tell you to leave?"

The manager gave him a look, "I couldn't leave."

Hyson didn't say anything and sat down in the minivan to go back.
