Chapter 183
Xia Miaomiao looked at the group photo Xiao Han had posted and couldn't help but give it a like. She didn't expect Xiao Han to be the first one to get her marriage certificate.
Xia Miaomiao put down her phone. In front of her was an easel, and on the drawing paper was a portrait of Hua Wuyou, his unique blue eyes seemed to be able to bewitch people's hearts.
She opened the drawer next to her and took out a jade whistle from the desk drawer.
Hua Wuyou's words suddenly came to her mind.
"This jade whistle has a connection with my jade flute. In the future, if you encounter danger, blow this whistle and no matter where you are, I will come to save you."
Without realizing it, Xia Miaomiao had put the jade whistle to her lips, but after a long while, she still did not blow that whistle.
She was a little afraid. If Hua Wuyou really was that idol, would he still have her in his heart?
Ever since she came back, she had been following Hua Wuyou's news. She didn't hear he had any rumored girlfriend before, or that he was in any publicized relationship, only some netizens saying he and his agent were a little intimate, but his agent was a man, so she didn't think it was possible.
But recently, Hua Wuyou's rumored girlfriend was exposed online, and the paparazzi even released quite a few photos of them together overseas.
Although she didn't know if these entertainment news were true or not, Xia Miaomiao still didn't have the courage to blow that jade whistle.
Xia Miaomiao lowered her eyes and slowly put down the jade whistle.
Senior year was about to start, the entertainment company would come to campus to recruit trainees. Would Hua Wuyou come this time?
...
Three days later, school started.
Seniors didn't really have many classes left, many had gone out for internships already. When Xia Miaomiao returned to the dormitory, there was only one girl named Chen Yi who had come back.
"Oh? Miaomiao, you came back to the dorm?"
Xia Miaomiao put her suitcase next to her bed and sat down. "Yeah, are those two not coming back to school?"
"I guess so. One went for shooting, and I don't know where the other one went. By the way, what's your plan for senior year?"
Chen Yi came over and asked, "With your stellar academic performance, top grades in vocals and dance, why don't you go out for some practical experience?"
Xia Miaomiao hesitated for a moment, then suddenly asked, "You used to be Hua Wuyou's fan, right?"
"Hua Wuyou?" Chen Yi reacted, "Oh, you mean Old Hua? We all call him Old Hua, never called him by his name!"
"I heard his company is coming to recruit trainees. Do you know if he'll come?" Xia Miaomiao asked.
Chen Yi smiled at her, "What? You plan to join? I remember you didn't use to be his fan!"
"I think you're right. Now that it's senior year, I should get some practical experience." Xia Miaomiao said honestly, "And Hua Wuyou is very capable in his craft. I find that quite convincing."
"Well...I heard he's supposed to come, but he went abroad recently, still not sure if he's back."
"As his fan, have you seen the recent rumors online? That he has a girlfriend now..."
At the mention of a girlfriend, Chen Yi immediately flared up, "What bullshit girlfriend! It's obviously that Wang Zhiqing trying to stir up hype! Just talking about this pisses me off!"
"But... Hua Wuyou didn't come out to clarify, did he?" Xia Miaomiao tried asking.
"Maybe he was too busy recently. Old Hua has never had a scandal!"
"It's exactly because he never had a scandal before that this sudden rumor, don't you feel it might actually be true?"
Chen Yi was stunned for a moment. "Actually I don't know if it's true either. Even if he does date someone, I'll still support him, but Wang Zhiqing is not good enough for Old Hua. She's had scandals with so many people before!"
Xia Miaomiao lowered her eyes again. There were too many temptations in the entertainment industry, all kinds of beauties everywhere. Hua Wuyou was unrestrained to begin with. After so many years in the industry, perhaps...he had long forgotten about her.
Seeing her keep silent, Chen Yi continued asking, "Miaomiao, do you want to join entertainment too? I'm going too. Let's sign up together! With your talents, you might even make it to first place!"
"I want to give it a try."
...
Half a month later, many entertainment companies came to the school. Xia Miaomiao and Chen Yi signed up online. The audition would be held at school a week later.
There were a lot of people at the audition. There were three interview rooms total. Xia Miaomiao didn't get her turn until the afternoon. She had already heard from people in the morning that Hua Wuyou did not seem to come after all, which is something she was actually relieved by. She was worried seeing Hua Wuyou might affect her performance.
After entering, Xia Miaomiao was surprised to see the two people inside, one female and one male.
The female was Hua Wuyou's rumored girlfriend Wang Zhiqing, while the male is a celebrity named Han Yanzhao, who was known to be on good terms with Hua Wuyou.
Wang Zhiqing had been sitting there for almost a whole day, and had long lost all energy, slouching tiredly in her chair.
Xia Miaomiao secretly eyed her. She had a very elegant and beautiful look, quite imposing.
"Ready? Let's begin." Han Yanzhao seemed tired too, but still spoke politely.
"Yes." Xia Miaomiao collected herself and began her audition piece.
Hearing Xia Miaomiao's vocals, Wang Zhiqing slowly opened her eyes, looking at her in delight. "After a whole day, finally I hear a voice that I find quite good."
Han Yanzhao smiled at her. "If she made even you impressed, then she must really be good. This girl looks sweet and innocent, but her voice doesn't belong to the cutesy category, very surprising contrast."
Wang Zhiqing looked at the personal profile on the table. "Xia Miaomiao...seems quite versatile, but don't know what she's like in practice."
Han Yanzhao also leaned over to take a look. "She can play all those instruments? And won so many awards? In our company, only Old Hua can probably play so many instruments alone?"
"Then do you think Old Hua would like her?" Wang Zhiqing asked.
"Hard to say for sure...he is known for having high standards after all."
Xia Miaomiao only saw them whispering, unable to hear their conversation, until her performance ended.
Han Yanzhao smiled at her. "Great job. I see on your resume you can play many instruments? And flute too? There aren't many people nowadays who can do that."
"Yeah, a bit." Xia Miaomiao said modestly.
"I happen to have a flute with me. Could you play us a song?"
"No problem."
Xia Miaomiao walked over and took the bamboo flute handed to her by Han Yanzhao.
She thought for a bit, and suddenly remembered the song Hua Wuyou had asked her to play in the past. The memories came flooding back. Xia Miaomiao put the flute to her lips and started playing.
When the song ended, Wang Zhiqing and Han Yanzhao were both stunned, subconsciously exchanging a look with each other.
"That's good enough, you can go back first. The audition results will be posted online, if you get selected, there will be another round of audition on campus." Wang Zhiqing said.
"Alright, thank you." Xia Miaomiao returned the bamboo flute to Han Yanzhao and left the room.
Han Yanzhao looked to Wang Zhiqing in puzzlement. "How does she know how to play that song?"
Wang Zhiqing rolled her eyes at him. "How would I know?"
"Old Hua's fan?"
"But Old Hua has never played this song in public!" Wang Zhiqing said thoughtfully, "Also, there's a section in this song that's very difficult to play."
Han Yanzhao thought for a bit, took out his phone and called Hua Wuyou.
"Hello, Old Hua. You back in the country?"
"Just got off the plane. What's up?"
"I just met someone who can play the xiao flute very well. He seems quite skilled. Would you like to come to the dance academy to take a look?"
"No."
With a "du" sound, the phone on the other end was directly hung up.
"......"
