Chapter 53 part 3

The audition, was where Ke Yu and Shu Jinyu first met, in less than a page’s length.

After reading for a few minutes, Yun Feiwu gently pulled Xia Shutong’s sleeve, saying, “Ruan Ruan, let’s give it a try?”

“Hmm.” Xia Shutong nodded, but her tongue, out of nervousness, unconsciously pressed against her palate.

From the moment she finished reading the script for “Trajectory” to the sudden decision to act with Yun Feiwu, it had been less than thirty minutes in total.

During this time, she had only chatted with Yun Feiwu for a while.

No analysis reports, no planning documents, not even a detailed analysis in her mind of the pros and cons.

Xia Shutong hadn’t made such a rash decision in a long time, so she instinctively felt a bit confused and nervous.

But upon seeing Yun Feiwu’s gentle and affectionate gray eyes, Xia Shutong felt herself settling down.

Outside the courtyard stood a tall locust tree, its leaves dense and eerie.

Timidly, Shu Jinyu looked up at the shadow of the big locust tree, feeling a sense of retreat in her heart. But she couldn’t just turn back now that she had come this far. Carefully, she approached the courtyard, knocked on the sturdy iron gate.

Immediately, several fierce barks came from inside, causing Shu Jinyu to step back a few steps in fear.

“Creak…”

The door opened.

In the instant Shu Jinyu saw the woman behind the door, her eyes glazed over.

She had imagined what Ke Yu might be like: a strong-armed female butcher? Or a pale-skinned widow who wept daily?

But she was neither.

The woman had a delicate and charming face, with apricot eyes sparkling like water. She was so beautiful.

Shu Jinyu had lived in the city since she was young, but she had never seen such a beautiful woman before, like a big star on TV.

Ke Yu obviously hadn’t expected that the visitor would be a stranger girl.

Her hands clasped nervously, her gaze slightly lowered. She was hesitant to look at Shu Jinyu, but still softly said, “Hello?”

The woman looked fragile and pitiful, like a tender wisp of silk easily broken. For some reason, seeing her like this made Shu Jinyu less nervous.

“Hello, I’m Shu Jinyu, the new rural teacher. The school’s on break today, and I thought I’d visit my neighbors,” Shu Jinyu lifted the basket and placed it in front of the woman. “These preserved fruits were good, so I bought them at the market.”

Ke Yu instinctively took a small step back, biting her lip, and looked up at Shu Jinyu. After a few seconds of hesitation, she gently extended a hand and lightly grabbed Shu Jinyu’s wrist, “Would you like to come in and sit for a while?”

Ke Yu’s grip was light, and Shu Jinyu could easily shake her off with a slight movement. But inexplicably, Shu Jinyu didn’t let go. She followed Ke Yu into the house.

They both sat at the wooden table.

Looking around, Shu Jinyu quickly noticed that the room was simply furnished and very clean. It was indeed the dwelling of a single woman.

After Ke Yu poured her a cup of tea, Shu Jinyu’s timidity in her eyes completely disappeared, and she returned to her usual inquisitive and curious self, saying, “Sister Ke, are you always alone?”

Ke Yu sat down next to her slowly, nodding, “Hmm.”

“Ah, Sister Ke, do you have any hobbies? Living alone in the mountains, don’t you find it boring?”

“I have no hobbies.” Ke Yu shook her head softly, a hint of bitter smile appeared on her lips, “I’ve been living in the mountains for so many years. I’ve gotten used to it.”

However, Shu Jinyu was captivated by that faint smile of hers.

Ke Yu’s smile was clearly light, but it gave off an extreme sense of bitterness.

Looking at Ke Yu’s delicate temperament and the softness in her speech, living alone in the mountains, she must be both bored and afraid, right? Shu Jinyu couldn’t help but feel pity.

In the future, she must come and accompany Ke Yu more often. Those people in the village, are truly ignorant and laughable!

Shu Jinyu hummed in frustration a couple of times and then regained her smile, taking out some dried fruits from the basket, “Sister Ke, they’re delicious, would you like to try?”

Ke Yu gently reached out her hand and took the fruit bag, pinching out a red piece of dried fruit, but instead of putting it in her own mouth, she softly and weakly handed it to Shu Jinyu’s lips.

Shu Jinyu was taken aback.

She didn’t expect that this gentle and introverted woman would actually feed her something?

This woman was so fragile, yet she would always do these strange and bold actions out of nowhere. Just now, she suddenly held Shu Jinyu’s wrist without any warning, and now she was offering her dried fruit without any warning.

At this moment, when Shu Jinyu looked into Ke Yu’s eyes, she found that they were still gentle, but exceptionally enticing.

Shu Jinyu even felt a strange tickle in her throat.

Unconsciously, she opened her lips, wanting to use her tongue to lick the piece of dried fruit into her mouth, but accidentally, she ended up holding Ke Yu’s fingertip in her mouth.

The audition should have ended here.

However, Huo Zinan didn’t call for a stop.

Xia Shutong supported the table with one hand, and with the other hand, she lifted it up weakly, with Yun Feiwu’s fingertip in her mouth, gently licking it.

A tingling sensation spread from the fingertip to every part of her body.

Even the hand supporting the table had become somewhat weak.

What was the next part of the plot? Xia Shutong couldn’t recall it anymore. She only remembered this short segment.

She felt Yun Feiwu’s tongue lightly brushing against her fingertip again.
