With many people onlookers around, Su Yaya needed to be mindful as well. She couldn’t divulge Yan Junyi’s secret to the public so she hurriedly made a shh gesture too.

The two exchanged a knowing smile and shifted the conversation about other things.

“Are you here for the audition?”

“Yes.”

“What number?”

“My manager went to grab a number for me.” Su Yaya pointed to the front.

Yan Junyi leaned in and whispered. “Do you want me to help?”

Su Yaya hesitated for a moment, then shook her head.

Despite the rejection, Yan Junyi remained unfazed, sporting a gentle smile.

“Brother Yan, it’s getting late. The audition is about to start. Director Song is asking for you to come in.” A staff member reminded Yan Junyi.

Yan Junyi had no choice but to bid goodbye. “See you later.”

Su Yaya nodded and said, “Okay, see you later.”

Yan Junyi smiled at her and followed the staff in.

Su Yaya breathed a sigh of relief as she patted her chest, it had been a close call. Thankfully, she had stumbled upon information about Yan Junyu in the original host’s memories, allowing her to engage in conversation with him smoothly, otherwise, she would have felt bad about having an awkward conversation with him.

Hehehe, her acting skills were quite impressive. Yan Junyi hadn’t realized that she wasn’t the original host.

Imagine meeting again after so many years. Even if he was quite familiar with someone, it’s not easy to discern changes in their personality.

After Yan Junyi left with the staff, the people who were waiting for their turn at the audition started to gossip about Su Yaya.

“She knows Yan Junyi. We probably won’t stand a chance against her.”

“The male lead can’t decide who he wants. The main person in charge is the Director!”

“Heh, but the Director needs to consider K…”

Su Yaya listened to their discussion, maintaining her composure as she remained seated, browsing Weibo without any change in expression. She had already heard Zhou Peiyun mention that everyone attending the audition today had connections, and no one was simply there by chance. Well, she was well aware of that fact, haha.

“You know Yan Junyi?” Zhou Peiyum, who was on the way back from picking up a number, had seen Yan Junyi walk over to talk to Su Yaya just now. The two seemed to have enjoyed their conversation so it wasn’t hard to tell that they knew each other.

“We were neighbors when we were kids.” Su Yaya responded calmly as she continued to scroll through Weibo expressionlessly.

“Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” Zhou Peiyun looked at her in shock. She mentioned Yan Junyi many times but the girl never reacted to his name. Zhou Peiyun thought that she didn’t know him.

Su Yaya scrolled through Weibo and found something that interested her. She said, “That wasn’t his name when he was young. He also looks different now, so I didn’t remember.”

Zhou Peiyun was puzzled.

How could Su Yaya be so nonchalant? And how could Yan Junyi, a popular celebrity, look different from his childhood self? Did he undergo plastic surgery? But he appeared perfectly normal, there were no signs of any procedures done to his face.

Su Yaya got number eighteen. There was a total of 23 people, and each one of them received the chance to try out for auditions through their connections. Su Yaya’s number was leaning towards the end, which wasn’t very beneficial for her.

But Su Yaya didn’t mind. It would be nice if it worked out for her, but if it didn’t, she didn’t care either. After all, Shen Xiuqi had promised to give her advertisements, so if it didn’t work here, she would simply work for the other side. Hahaha, she had her sugar daddy supporting her!
