The next afternoon, on her way back to the capital after shooting the show, Jiang Xun received a call from Wang Yicheng.

“In Director Chen Zilong’s new play, there’s a character who’s a murderer with an anti-social personality. Are you interested in trying out a scene?” Yicheng said.

“Sure.” A murder scene was very easy for her.

“…” Yicheng was worried that Jiang Xun did not know the specific background of this character, so he said, “Jiang Xun, this character is not the main character, it’s just a character with three or four appearances. Secondly, it’s a murderer with an anti-social personality. She has no humanity and even killed her close relatives. It’s a very difficult role to act, which is why Director Chen hasn’t found a suitable candidate. If you act poorly, you will definitely be scolded for your poor acting skills. If you act well, you might incur the hatred of the audience.”

“Moreover, you have just acted as a villain killer, and then you will act as a murderer.” Yicheng said, “It might damage your image.”

“If I act well, will I be scolded?” Jiang Xun only cared about this.

“Of course.” Yicheng didn’t even dare to think about it. “You’ll probably be hated to the core.”

“Then I must give it a try.” Yicheng couldn’t see it, but Jiang Xun’s eyes were shining. He could only hear Jiang Xun’s extremely serious voice through the phone. “How can I improve by picking and choosing roles that are good people? Since I’m going to act, I must become a real actor!”

She was not doing it for merit points!

Yicheng sighed. “It’s only natural that you were able to get into Beijing University! Your awareness is higher than others!”

He was completely convinced. “I’ll go and confirm with Director Chen the time for your audition now.”

After tricking Yicheng, Jiang Xun was determined to get the role.

It was as if she could already see a large number of merit points rushing toward her.

Jiang Xun and Mufeng entered the house one after the other.

The sound of the door closing came from behind, and Jiang Xun was pressed against the wall.

The speed was so fast that even she could not react in time.

Following that, his breath with the scent of cedar was like a volcano erupting. It burned her face and his burning lips were pressed against hers.

Mufeng was reluctant to leave as he clung onto her affectionately. His soft, silky, and scalding lips were pressed against hers as he muttered, “You’re not at home this weekend, and I’m there by myself. Time passed so slowly. I wanted to look for you, but I was worried that it would affect your filming.”

Mufeng’s hoarse and scalding voice was tinged with a hint of grievance. His two hands were unconsciously pinching her slender waist.

How could Jiang Xun withstand Mufeng’s fiery assault? In a trance, she felt his fingers pass through her sweater and burn her waist.

Jiang Xun struggled to regain a sliver of rationality. She racked her brains to recall whether there was anything she could use right now, be it books or movies.

Suddenly, Jiang Xun thought of something.

She looked at Mufeng with her misty eyes. “Do you want to eat dinner first, or do you want to eat me?”

Mufeng: “…”

Mufeng nudged her and lifted her up. “What do you usually read?”

How could she say something so rustic?

Jiang Xun tilted her head and was slightly confused.

Her brain should have remembered, but now that she was being teased by Mufeng, she could only barely remember that she had moved books from an abandoned library back to the base in her previous life, and she had read it from one of the romance novels.

She couldn’t remember the name at the moment in her current state.

However, Mufeng was being teased by her reaction. He hugged her tightly in his arms and lowered his head to bury his face into her shoulders.

Smelling the increasingly sweet fragrance on her body, he said hoarsely, “Don’t tease me anymore. When I’m with you, my self-control is actually not very strong.”

Jiang Xun’s face turned red. She finally realized what she had just said. The tip of her dangling foot lightly kicked him. “Then let me down.”

In fact, when she was with him, her self-control was also not very strong.

Mufeng took a deep breath before letting go of her.

However, because they hadn’t seen each other for the weekend, Mufeng couldn’t help but cling to her.

After dinner, they watched TV. On the sofa, Mufeng hugged her tightly and refused to let go.

It was only when it was time to sleep that Mufeng was reluctant to go back to his side.

Yicheng and Zilong decided on the time for Jiang Xun’s audition.

It was set for Wednesday.

Fortunately, it was in the capital this time, so Jiang Xun didn’t have to spend a lot of time on the road.
