The next day, Pei Xiao came to the rehearsal room early. Pei Xiao was the first one to arrive at the rehearsal room. Seeing that Qi Yi and Xu Miaomiao had not arrived yet, Pei Xiao continued to memorize his lines. After two nights, Pei Xiao had roughly memorized all his lines.

The next step is to familiarize yourself with the lines and memorize them in your heart. This time you will perform them directly on the stage, and you cannot make any mistakes in the lines or your movements. Otherwise, it will not only affect yourself, but also your teammates.

Just after he finished reciting his lines, Pei Xiao heard a greeting from behind.

"Xiaoxiao, you're here so early?"

Pei Xiao turned around and saw Qi Yi wearing a white shirt, looking at him with a smile. Pei Xiao was distracted, as if he really saw Lu Huaizhi standing in front of him.

"what happened?"

Qi saw Pei Xiao staring at him in a daze and asked in confusion. Pei Xiao then came back to his senses and replied:

"I feel like you made the right choice in choosing this role. For a moment just now, I really thought you were Lu Huaizhi."

Qi Yi laughed and imitated Pei Xiao's behavior, sitting cross-legged on the ground beside her. He saw that Pei Xiao's mobile phone was still playing the original video of their performance of the play, and the script was also filled with Pei Xiao's annotations.

"Were you so absorbed in studying the script recently that you thought I was Lu Huaizhi? I didn't expect you to be so serious."

Pei Xiao followed his gaze to look at his script and scratched his head embarrassedly.

"I don't want to hold you back."

Pei Xiao looked at the time and saw that there were still ten minutes left before the agreed time. Pei Xiao thought about it and sent a message to the group.

Pei Xiao: [Teacher Xu, don’t forget today’s rehearsal~@徐苗苗]

After waiting for a while, no one responded in the group. Qi Yi also took out his script at this time. He also received the message. After looking at his phone, Qi Yi couldn't help but frowned.

Qi Yi endured it, but in the end said nothing.

Time passed by bit by bit, and Pei Xiao watched as another half hour passed. But Xu Miaomiao still hadn't arrived, and there was no reply in the group. Pei Xiao closed his phone and said to Qi Yi:

"Qi Yi, how about we just rehearse and wait for Xu Miaomiao's reply."

"it is good."

Qi Yi nodded. If they waited for Xu Miaomiao to come before rehearsing, they wouldn’t know what time they would start today.

About an hour later, their phones rang at the same time. Pei Xiao and Qi Yi looked at each other. It must be Xu Miaomiao who finally sent a message. Pei Xiao went to get his phone and saw that Xu Miaomiao had sent a message in the group.

Xu Miaomiao: [When did you say there was a rehearsal today? I didn’t know. I have a magazine shoot today, so I can’t rehearse.]

The chat records from the previous two days were right there, but Xu Miaomiao lied with her eyes open. Pei Xiao got angry and threw out the screenshots that he had agreed on.

Pei Xiao: [Teacher Xu, we just confirmed the time two days ago, and we specifically confirmed the time with you. Now you say you didn't know there would be a rehearsal today. Isn't this a poor excuse?]

Xu Miaomiao: [Didn't I say it should be possible? It's not certain. You didn't ask me to confirm last night. You can't ask me to postpone my work just to rehearse with you. Anyway, I definitely can't come today. You guys can do whatever you want.]

Xu Miaomiao argued with a perfunctory attitude, and Pei Xiao took a deep breath. Li Yue's reminder was indeed reasonable, but unfortunately, although she and Qi Yi were successfully assigned to the same group, she was still unlucky enough to be assigned to a teammate who was not cooperative.

Arguing with Xu Miaomiao would only waste time, so Pei Xiao had to suppress his annoyance and asked.

Pei Xiao: [Then Teacher Xu, when do you have time to rehearse? ]

Xu Miaomiao: [Tomorrow, I have time tomorrow.]

Qi Yi: [What time tomorrow? ]

Xu Miaomiao: [Ten o'clock in the morning.]

Qi Yi: [Okay, then tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock, I hope we can see Teacher Xu in the rehearsal room on time.]

Putting down the phone, Pei Xiao and Qi Yi looked at each other, and saw helplessness in each other's eyes. Qi Yi was still worried about whether the cooperation with Pei Xiao would go smoothly. Unexpectedly, during the scene this morning, although he also felt that Pei Xiao's emotions were a bit superficial, Qi Yi could feel Pei Xiao's seriousness.

It only took two days to familiarize himself with the script, and Qi Yi felt that Pei Xiao's performance would get better and better. Compared with Xu Miaomiao, Qi Yi looked at Pei Xiao with even more favor.

"Let's go. Since she's not coming, let's go have lunch first and then rehearse in the afternoon."

Pei Xiao nodded. If Xu Miaomiao didn't come, it would be best if she and Qi Yi played the role of Xu Miaomiao for each other in the afternoon and went over other plots. Otherwise, it would be too uneconomical to come here today and rehearse too little. Pei Xiao thought so and suggested it to Qi Yi. Qi Yi naturally agreed happily.

"I felt that you performed quite well in the scene with me today. Although your emotions were a little superficial, they were not as exaggerated as people said on the Internet..."

Qi Yi spoke while eating. Pei Xiao paused and put down the tableware in his hand.

"Actually, what they said was not wrong. I originally wanted to sign up for an acting training class, but it was Sister Li who told me to try out for Life Is a Drama. I was actually quite nervous, worried that I would be eliminated in the first round."

Qi Yi didn't expect Pei Xiao to admit so directly that his acting was poor. Qi Yi was a professional actor and had heard of some acting training classes out there, but those were mostly attended by only supporting actors.

Qi Yi's teacher once told them that this kind of thing is just as unreliable as other professional crash courses. But Pei Xiao just said that she originally wanted to sign up for such a course...

"What Sister Li said is not wrong. Participating in this program is definitely more useful than taking an acting training class. And you don't have to worry too much about being eliminated. After all, only 30 out of 2 people were eliminated in the first round. And you know your mentor Jiang Ziyi, so you will definitely not be eliminated."

Pei Xiao heard Qi Yi comforting him and smiled helplessly. Although only 30 people were eliminated from the 2 people, how many of these 30 people had connections with capital and could not leave. And a genius like Tang Xiao brought more popularity to the program team than expected after her stunning debut, so naturally she could not leave either.

Isn't she the only one left?

Qi Yi had just made his debut when he heard from Li Yue that he graduated from the Film Academy, and he exuded a bookish innocence.

Pei Xiao replied calmly:

"Then I hope both of us can stay."

She did not explain too much. After all, if she spoke too negatively, it would not only not help her, but would also affect Qi Yi's mentality. If it affected his performance on the official stage and led to their elimination, Li Yue would tear her apart.
