I Just Want to Be in a Relationship

Chapter 2: I already Graduated from Primary School.

Yu Qing Huan looked at Liu Jia An in disbelieve with his eyes wide opened, making his already small face became smaller. When Liu Jia An saw this, he showed a rare smile: “Enough dallying. Follow me to the audition room for your part. I must figure out your acting skill properly, so that I can make proper arrangement.”

“Director Liu, I don’t think that’s okay.” Yu Qing Huan stood still at his place. He almost thought that he was hallucinating.

What kind of luck was this! That Director Liu would accidentally overheard when Yu Qing Huan was persuading his manager. Because of that, Liu Jia An held him in high regard and generously just gave Yu Qing Huan the role!

If this happened during his last life, he would be smiling even in his dreams. But it’s different now, Yu Qing Huan didn’t want to fly high. He had no thoughts of being famous. He only wanted to quit the entertainment circle and have a nice happy relationship, okay!

But speaking of it, in his last life, his luck had always been horrible.

When the film crew went around the country to promote the film, there would always be traffic jam as long as Yu Qing Huan was in the car; When his fellow actor got married and gave out Xi Tang[1], everyone would get good ones and only Yu Qing Huan would get an empty one; Even during eating time, of all the people at the table, only his bowl had worms inside.

Some friends used to joke with Yu Qing Huan. With his ‘good’ luck, maybe he should go buy some lottery. In the beginning, Yu Qing Huan listened and kept trying. When not a single number was hit after so many tries, he completely gave up in buying lottery.

Was it after his rebirth that he became incredibly lucky?

He thoughtfully touched the back of his head.

Liu Jia An looked at Yu Qing Huan face. He thought that Qing Huan was being embarrassed so his attitude became gentler, “It’s okay, I am the Director. Whatever I say, goes. Your name is Qing Huan, right? Come, follow me.”

It sounded like a wrench uncle trying to trick a little loli.

While Yu Qing Huan was thinking up ways as to not offend Director Liu with his refusal, Yu Xin finally reacted. Looking at this huge pie that landed on his lap freely, his mouth couldn’t close. He immediately dragged Yu Qing Huan towards the audition room and greeted Liu Jia An, “Hello Director Liu. Our family [2] naive brat has always been like this. He’s not rejecting you. This kid just enter the entertainment circle so he has no confidence in himself.”

Director Liu nodded his head; “I know. I think like that is also quite good.”

The two of them began chatting excitedly completely ignored Yu Qing Huan who was standing beside them.

Yu Qing Huan: “...O-O”

It’s not that he lacked confidence, it’s just that he didn’t want to act ah! QAQ

The rest of the judges halfheartedly listened to the remaining actors after Director Liu leave the audition room. They hastily passed all the candidates and finally sighed tiredly at their place.

Co-director Jiang Qi used the script as a fan. Fanning once then stopping once: “Today work is in vain. Let’s leave after packing, nowadays actors ah ze ze ze.” Jiang Qi clicked his tongue.

[T/N: 嘖嘖嘖 (ze ze ze): Similar intonation for when you clicked your tongue.]

The producer who had a good relationship with him gave him a glance: “Lao Jiang! Stop spreading your negativity. Who knows, maybe we will find a suitable one later.”

[T/N: 老 (lao): Old, sometimes used when addressing a good friend in Chinese. Ex: Old John. ]

Jiang Qi shrugged him off and used one word to express himself: “(( ￣へ￣ ) / He-”

At this moment, Liu Jia An brought Yu Qing Huan inside the room. He raised up his hands and clapped twice, attracting everyone attention.

Jiang Qi ‘homemade fan’ fell to the ground.

The producer spat out a mouthful of tea.

After a few seconds of silence, some were greeting him and some were wiping their eye glasses. Everyone wanted to see, who was this actor that could make Director Liu so satisfied.

At their first glace. Wow, so handsome!

When they took a closer look, everyone was stunned.

Not every actor could stand the pressure of being scrutiny. They could see that the young man called Yu Qing Huan was not wearing any makeup at all with their godlike eyesight!

This kind of beauty was simply unbelievable! The only thing that they didn’t know was his acting abilities.

They didn’t know where did Director Liu found him. They also couldn’t find anything relevant on the Internet.

“Well, Qing Huan.” Director Liu sat on his chair and indicated that Yu Qing Huan should sit opposite him. After flipping through several pages of the script, Liu Jia An pointed to one of the dialogue and told Yu Qing Huan: “Act these out for me.”

The chosen dialogue was the part where, after Ye Shang found out that he had to go to the battlefield, he made a huge ruckus inside the plane.

Even though the difficulty level was not high, it was still a demanding scene for a newbie because once he was careless, the acting would seemed willful.

Yu Qing Huan immediately knew how he should act when he sweep through the dialogue. When Yu Qing Huan failed in his audition in his last life, he flipped through the script countless times to hone himself. After the film was released, he also watched it thoroughly for numerous times. There was no other reason aside from his unwillingness to accept his failure.

It could be said that Yu Qing Huan had eaten and fully chewed through the entire script a lot more compared to other actors.

[T/N: had eaten and fully chewed: Fully comprehended the script]

He really didn’t want to act this role in this life. So now, should he deliberately act poorly and privately find Director Liu to quit later?

His wishful thinking only lingered for a split second in his mind and was quickly discarded by Yu Qing Huan.

Although he didn’t want to enter the entertainment circle, he never wanted to fool others. Yu Qing Huan refused to leave an impression of having bad acting and cowardly image.

After Director Liu finished talking, everyone was waiting for Yu Qing Huan to act but it was as if he lost his soul and didn’t move for a long time.

Jiang Qi secretly Wechat the producer: We cannot use this person.

Producer: What is the Director trying to pull =.=? Which part he got attracted to? His face?

Jiang Qi: Maybe. ╮(￣-￣)╭

Producer: I never thought there will be a day where Director Liu would use face to judge ah. 【/(╯▅╰) Le sigh~】

Unlike the others who were being a contented bystander, Yu Xin was like an ant on hot pan. He really really want to strangle Yu Qing Huan neck so that he would hurry up and act.

The mood in the audition room became weirder the longer Yu Qing Huan remained silent. Yu Xin couldn’t take it anymore and wanted to remind Yu Qing Huan when suddenly he put down his script.

Yu Qing Huan’s eyes dilated and became bloodshot with rage and horror.

Ye Shang thought that someone had plotted against him and made sure that he was in the plane en route to the battlefield. The arrogant and willful young master felt incredibly angry and he started shouting like a madman: “I want to get off the plane! AT ONCE! NOW! Who would want to go to that damn place! Anyways, I am not going! I’m warning you, my parents are waiting for me at home. Do you know who are my parents ah.....”

The reason why he snapped was not only due to anger, but a larger part was because of fright.

What kind of place was the battlefield? If you got careless, you would die. He still have a long beautiful future ahead with so much of wondrous things waiting for him. Why would he want to go to such a place where even the birds wouldn’t dared to shit and throw his life away!

Yu Qing Huan’s acting was so emotionally on point that it’s almost like he had became Ye Shang. He kept shouting and screaming with his whole might because he wanted to delay the plane from taking off. He refused to go to the battlefield.

An array of complex and bountiful expression was beautifully acted by Yu Qing Huan. Even after he finished acting, everyone couldn’t react as if their soul had flew away and hadn’t came back.

The Co-Director and producer saw the shock in each other eyes when they exchanged glances.

This was a newbie? Don’t speak nonsense! How could a newbie be so powerful!

The acting was smooth and natural. It was a hundred, no a thousand times better than all the previous candidate combined together regardless of their experience! This kind of acting ability! This kind of powerful emotional control! Director Liu dared to say he was a newbie? His mother a newbie!

[T/N: 他妈 (ta ma) : Literally translate to ‘His mother’. Chinese way of cursing someone. Means motherf**ker.]

Director Liu couldn’t care less about the questioning look or shock the others shot towards him because he was too preoccupied by the phrase in his heart: He had picked up a treasure!

Everyone’s attitude took a 180 degree turn and they quickly warmed up to Yu Qing Huan after his performance. Some even wanted to introduce their contacts to Yu Qing Huan after they found out that he had no assistant. Yu Xin couldn’t helped but puffed up in pride as he slickly handled some inquiries.

As a matter of fact, Yu Xin wasn’t too happy in the beginning when the company pushed Yu Qing Huan to him. He was the top 1 graduate in the country, so what? He jumped grade several times, so what? This was the showbiz, not an exam room! ╮(￣▽￣)╭

Yu Xin couldn’t helped but soften after he learnt about Yu Qing Huan’s background. His heart still held a silver of kindness even though he was an old fox.

Yu Qing Huan was a lonely orphan who had to ‘eat a hundred rice’ while growing up. He had no choice but to jump two grades because he couldn’t forked out the tuition fee for high school. Fortunately, he was intelligent. Yu Qing Huan managed to get number 1 in the provincial exam and was admitted to the best university in the country.

[T/N: 吃百家饭 (chi bai jia fan) : Literally translated to eat a hundred rice. It means to grow up supported by aid. Harsher way of saying it is ‘to beg’.]

During his university days, he acted a lot because the drama club would earn money from each performances. In the end, Yu Qing Huan finally signed to their company due to poor judgment and was assigned under Yu Xin’s care.

At the moment, Yu Xin couldn’t help but to rejoice in glee. He felt that he was lucky because of his barely existed sympathy that made him to give a chance to Yu Qing Huan or else he would lost a good seedling.

“Ge, you go back first. I want to stroll around.” Yu Qing Huan suddenly announced while Yu Xin was lost in thoughts.

Yu Xin blanked out for a second and then thought of when Yu Qing Huan became famous later on, it would be difficult for him to randomly strolled about. Yu Xin drove away in his old secondhand Audi after he warned Yu Qing Huan to be cautious of his surroundings.

After Yu Xin’s departure, Yu Qing Huan didn’t go anywhere else and immediately went to a nearby lottery stand. He simply chose several numbers and bought ten notes.

Although his luck was bad, but it was a fact that he managed to encounter rebirth. So, just in case!

Then, he slipped the lottery notes into his pocket. Yu Qing Huan didn’t flagged down a cab and casually took his own sweet time to walk around. In his previous life, he was always swarming with work. When he carefully thought back, Yu Qing Huan found that he never felt happy with life despite earning a lot.

Yu Qing Huan didn’t want to be a money making machine in his current life. He wanted to travel to the best place, see the best scenery, eat the best food and then find the best man to live a happy life together.

As for the money, sufficient for him to use was good enough. Fame? He didn’t need such unnecessary thing.

The corner of Yu Qing Huan’s lips slightly upturned. He found a pedestrian crossing and waited for the light to turn green so that he could cross. Suddenly, there was a riot at the other side of the road.

A tall, lean man with straight posture apathetically stood in the middle of the road. The man never move regardless of how the cars kept honking at him. His behavior was causing a serious traffic jam.

There were many drivers who stuck out their head and told him off. Their language was getting more and more vulgar. Didn’t know whether the man was doing it deliberately or not, because he just wouldn’t move.

The pedestrian at the roadside was just watching the show unfolding and there were none who was willing to go and pulled the man away.

When the traffic jam became worse, Yu Qing Huan couldn’t take it any more. With a long stride he rushed towards the man, grabbed his wrist and quickly dragged him to the roadside.

“Red light means stop, Green means go. You know or not? Did you graduate from primary school?” Yu Qing Huan grumpily reprimanded. He raised up his head and got stunned silly.

The man was strikingly handsome with defined facial features and a sharp figure. Bearing a thigh length black windbreaker coat and a white dress shirt fully buttoned inside didn’t make the man seemed old-fashion but it gave out a restrained air of manliness.

Too bad he had poor mannerism. Such a waste of a good face.

Yu Qing Huan felt woeful for a second in his heart and coldly regarded: “The traffic almost got stuck because of you. You better obey the traffic rules when you cross the road next time, understand?”

The man just stared at him without a word.

Yu Qing Huan suddenly felt annoyed. Was the man the type to be unrepentant even in death?

Yu Qing Huan really couldn’t tolerate those who looked like an upright and noble person but in actuality was a person with, ‘My business is my business and your business is your business, so what I do is none of your business” mentality. After Yu Qing Huan finished nagging and wanted to leave, the man suddenly grabbed the corner of his shirt.

Yu Qing Huan turned his head and dully asked: “What?”

Is it because of what he said made him unhappy? Now he wanted to fight?

The man slightly drooped his eyes, his long thick eyelashes quivered. He seriously replied: “I have graduated from primary school.”

Yu Qing Huan: “...”

Yu Qing Huan: “Okay, you graduated already. Now I know, so can you let me go?”

The man didn’t let go and kept looking at him with his dark, profound eyes. He didn’t know why but Yu Qing Huan managed to see that the man felt wronged.

Yu Qing Huan: “Anything else?”

The man: “I respect the traffic laws, but I don’t know how to cross the road.”

Yu Qing Huan:”..._(´ཀ`」 ∠)_”
