Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When Ning Xi went in, she heard the few judges discussing . It looked like they were very satisfied with Jiang Xinyi’s performance . However, Jiang Xingzhou, who sat right in the middle, did not say a word at all . When he saw Ning Xi come in, he then looked up to say, “Begin!”

“Okay . ” Ning Xi nodded .

“Already out of breath . . . ,” the staff member read out the script .

Ning Xi’s face was blank . There was no expression on her face at all .

A few seconds later, it was as if she suddenly fathomed that person’s words . She walked slowly towards the child step by step, then carried the child in her embrace .

Her blank and lifeless eyes widened . She looked at her child as if she had been removed of her soul . For minutes, she just continued to look on expressionlessly .

She just sat there without moving as if she was a weathered statue .

She had not actually done anything . There was even no expression on her face . However, in a split second, the atmosphere in the entire audition room was suddenly stifled to an extreme point . Initially, those judges, who thought Ning Xi was just someone who would not pass, instantly straightened up . Their spines tensed up as they held their breaths and stared straight at the girl who sat motionless lay on the cold floor .

Jiang Xingzhou did not seem to have a change in expression, but his hand which held a pen had obviously tightened quite a bit and his thin lips had tensed into a firm line .

Like the stifling air before a rainstorm, the entire sky was covered by haze and dense clouds .

Finally, when this atmosphere had been repressed to the extreme point, the girl lowered her head and her shoulders started to subtly tremble softly . Her arms that hugged her child tightened bit by bit . . .

Suddenly, the girl embraced the child firmly to her chest .

“Ah!!!” Her screaming and crying started to ring through the air .

“Ah—”

A sense of urgency, hopelessness, and of falling apart overwhelmed her .

Her entire world was crumbling before her eyes . . .

Her child . . .

Her child, whom she had beared for 9 whole months . . . They had relied on each other . He had still been lively the previous second, yet now he had become a cold, dead body . . .

Her only kin in this world, her only spiritual sustenance . . .

She had nothing now . . .

It was not sure how long had passed .

As if the rainstorm had just come to a halt, the girl’s emotions finally started to calm down a little . She embraced the child and remained sitting in the same posture as before .

However, everyone did not know that it was no longer the same inside her . She could no longer go back . All of the life in her had been drained with the loss of this child . Only an empty shell was left right there . . .

“Director Jiang . . . ” In the end, it was Song Lin who had spoken up to call for everyone’s attention . Only then did Jiang Xingzhou and the rest of the judging panel come back to their senses as if they had just woken up from a dream .

Ning Xi’s scene had ended .

The producer’s widened his reddened eyes as he blankly stared at her . He took a deep breath and mumbled in awe, “This girl . . . is truly remarkable . . . “

While the scriptwriter on the side had tears streaming down her face right from the start, hurriedly, she took out a tissue to wipe her tears away .

She finally understood why Jiang Xingzhou had persisted .

Even she herself had initially felt that Jiang Xinyi’s performance was the pinnacle of excellence .

However, when she saw Ning Xi, she finally knew what real acting was .

The last time, after Ning Xi had finished acting, she had immediately removed herself from the scenes . This time, despite having already finished acting, she remained seated blankly on the floor, the child prop still in her embrace .

“Quickly get up . The floor’s cold . ” Song Lin stood up and walked over to help Ning Xi up .

Ning Xi’s expression remained a little stunned as she robotically turned her head to look at Song Lin .

That look made Song Lin feel a pang of heart ache . This girl was staking it all!

Even if she wanted to immerse herself in the scene, she should leave some leeway in any case .

She was an actress too, so she understood the aftermath of completely immersing oneself in such a story line .
