The audition begins just like that. The first one to begin is for the position of Second male lead, the protagonist's little brother. A bright character who is an embodiment of cheerfulness and honestly which in the end falls in Xia Yang's hands. He gave his elder brother a proud expression when he got the position he was invited for but when he looked at his elder twin brother, he saw him playing with his phone ignoring the whole process of audition for Second Male Lead as he was not included in that group.
'Hmph! If he is not called just now for the second male lead position, then he must be invited for a supporting character position. So, what if you're beautiful you are still lower than me...!' Xia Yang's thoughts as he stares at Xia Ying as if looking down on him.
Xia Yang thought that his expression was hidden from others but among them, they are few who saw his smugness when he got his position as a second lead. The film emperor frowned when he saw Xia Yang show such an unlikeable expression while his eyes continued to wonder at that fairy in his own wonderland.
Lu Ziyun undeniably thought the same thing as Xia Yang, after all, Xia Ying's reputation is in tatters because of him, and couldn't help but feel regretful. But as if something hit their faces, Xia Ying's name was called when the audition for Protagonist started, and unexpectedly Xia Ying's name was the first one to be called.
"Xia Ying, act scenes 3 and 13." The one who ordered is unexpectedly Wang Tian whose eyes never left this person's visage since the beginning.
Xie Ying stood up and answered, "Yes."
But even before he can show his acting he could hear a loud exclamation from the crowd. It was someone he expected to do so as always. Upon hearing his brother's name called for the position of Protagonist, Xia Yang stood up in disbelief.
"No way!" shouted Xia Yang.
All eyes landed on him when he said that. Moreover, since he stood up from his seat, he became the center of attraction. The judges all frowned when they saw him react like that. Everyone couldn't help but peek at Wang Tian's expression to see if the emperor is angry.
"Do you have a problem, Xia Yang?" Wang Tian asked but his sharp eyes landed on Xia Yang's being making the latter shudder from unconscious horror.
"T-That... T-T..." Stuttering Xia Yang could only lower his head.
A stern voice ordered, "Lookup. I didn't allow you to lower your head. Give me an answer for causing such commotion in my movie audition, Xia Yang." Commanded Wang tian as the aura around him became overwhelming, making Xia Ying and others inside the room feel as if they were being cooked on their seats. Only Xia Ying gave out a small smile as if entertained.
In due fear Xia Yang could only answer honestly, "I... I was... Only surprised by that... Brother was invited to be a candidate for the... M-Main C-Character position..." replied Xia Yang as each word became softer and lower as he spoke but he didn't dare to look down as he was ordered not to.
Wang Tian who heard his reason couldn't help but raise his brows in amazement. Everyone else couldn't help but look at Xia Yang as if he is an idiot. Even the film emperor couldn't stop himself from pulling the lad to stop talking with a frown on his face.
"Ho~ and why is it that you're surprised to see your brother enter this audition. Didn't you know that only his invitation came from me? Are you saying that I, this Emperor, am blind?" asked Wang Tian with antagonism in his eyes.
Xia Yang started to tremble in fear while others were shocked when they heard that it was the emperor who sent the invitation to Xia Ying.
"Don't you know what kind of protagonist I'm looking for? A heavenly beauty of an angel with a cold and unreadable expression but with darkness emitting within his heart. A little devil." Explained Wang Tian.
The corner of Xia Ying's mouth couldn't help but twitch when he heard Wang Tian's explanation of the protagonist's profile. His angelic fairy-like face couldn't help but turn dark for a moment.
Wang Tian who saw his changes in expression can only smile and tried to bully him more to force him to show his real personality. He wanted to tease him because he got ignored just now.
"Only someone with an innocent face but an evil personality can become my protagonist. Are you saying Xia Ying doesn't fit those criteria?" said Wang Tian.
Everyone continues to observe Xia Ying's distorting face as they listen to Wang Tian's nonsense.
After all, everyone in the upper circle knew that Wang Tian and Xia Ying were already in an ambiguous relationship. This kind of scene is like the emperor teasing his love for his attention. No one is blind enough not to notice that Xia Ying intentionally ignored the emperor just now when he smiled at him.
They watch the two bickers playfully and taunt each other for attention.
On their minds only one thought is shared: 'Ah. Young love…'.
It was when Xia Ying couldn't help it anymore that he walked towards Wang Tian and grabbed his collar which shocked everyone. They've witnessed their little innocent fairy turned into a demon before them.
said Xia Ying as he reached the peak of his discontent.
Glaring at Wang Tian with no fear on his face at all. On the other hand, they watch that overbearing demon king laugh as he watches the darkening face of Xia Ying.
Chuckling Wang Tian, "Your mask broke my little devil~," said with a sly smile on his face.
Pissed off, "Shut up, you stalker! Bullying me now, humph! I'm leaving!" replied Xia Ying who walked towards the door without any hesitation.
Upon seeing Xia Ying puffing cheeks in anger, Wang Tian couldn't help but laugh, "Hahaha~ so cute. He's the best. To think about his temperamental as well. Hahaha~ You can end the audition. My wife will be the one playing the protagonist role. Well if you are worried go get some temporary actor for now."
"S-Sire are you sure? I mean he… He seems angry." One of the judges asked.
"No. He is only angry because I intentionally didn't give him a good night call last night. He's just pouting. The rest is in your hand. I still need to coax my wife." Wang Tian said before leaving.
As he left a group of stunned people in the venue, but he doesn't care at all.
There was an endless silence left behind him.
