Thursday's rehearsal ended hastily at 4pm, and Xu Miaomiao left with her bag, using the excuse that she had work to do in the evening. After the rehearsal today, Xu Miaomiao's performance was really disappointing. Not only did she not memorize her lines, but her emotional expression was even worse than Pei Xiao's yesterday.

Qi Yi was worried that it would affect the final performance, so before Xu Miaomiao left, he asked if she had time to rehearse tomorrow. Xu Miaomiao's eyes flickered, and she heard Pei Xiao say:

"I have a live broadcast tomorrow night, so I should be able to rehearse until this time today."

I don’t know what he thought of, but Xu Miaomiao, who originally seemed a little reluctant, suddenly nodded and agreed very actively.

"I have time tomorrow."

Qi Yi had no doubts, and was relieved to see Xu Miaomiao was willing to cooperate. Although Pei Xiao was a little surprised by Xu Miaomiao's sudden positive attitude, he couldn't guess the other party's intentions for a while, so he could only put it aside and not think about it.

After Xu Miaomiao left, Qi Yi sat on the ground and sighed.

"With Xu Miaomiao like this, I'm really worried that something unexpected will happen during the official recording on Monday."

Pei Xiao sat beside him and comforted him:

"Don't worry too much. She will also care about the broadcast effect. She should work hard in the next few days."

Qi Yi disagreed with Pei Xiao's consolation, but thinking of the previous scene between Pei Xiao and Xu Miaomiao, he couldn't help but ask:

"But you were in great form in the scene with Xu Miaomiao today. I really felt like you were Yan Jianwei herself. Did you think of something?"

Pei Xiao was stunned when she heard Qi Yi's words. In the past two days, she watched "Summer of Eighteen" at double speed, and focused on the clips they were going to remake. With the original drama to imitate, it was easier for Pei Xiao than filming before. Moreover, she only needed to run in such a short clip in a week, which made it easier to get into the role.

Pei Xiao has been studying the script whenever he has time these days, and even tried to hypnotize himself in front of a mirror into thinking that he is Yan Jianwei.

When acting with Xu Miaomiao, Pei Xiao felt annoyed by Xu Miaomiao's repeated trouble-making, which seemed to overlap with Yan Jianwei's feelings about Wu You repeatedly approaching the person she liked. The continuous research in the past few days also played a role in the overlapping moments of emotions. At a certain moment, Pei Xiao felt Yan Jianwei in his heart.

"Maybe I was a little irritated because I hadn't started rehearsing yet, and this emotion just happened to overlap with the emotion required for the scene, so when I was re-reacting with you afterwards, I couldn't do it again."

Qi Yi recalled the scene where he confronted Pei Xiao after joining the team. At that time, Pei Xiao's condition was indeed not as good as when he was acting opposite Xu Miaomiao.

Maybe it's just like Pei Xiao said, her emotions happened to be similar to Yan Jianwei's at the time, so she was able to briefly enter a state of overlap with Yan Jianwei, but this state was ultimately an accident. If the actor herself does not fully understand the role, she will not be able to always blend in with the role.

"But it's a good improvement, isn't it?"

Pei Xiao nodded. This acting experience gave her some confidence. If she could perform like this on stage on Zhou Yi, she should be able to stay in "Life is a Play".

"By the way, yesterday at the company, Sister Li said that she had asked the production team, and the stage will be built here tomorrow. Then we can rehearse the show in real time. Don't worry if you don't have time to come over for rehearsal during the weekend live broadcast."

Qi Yi remembered that Pei Xiao would be doing a live broadcast for the next three days, so he told Pei Xiao the news he knew.

"Well, I'll go back today and ask Sister Li to help me communicate with both production teams and try to spare a day on the weekend to come over and make arrangements."

"Well, hopefully we can all stay Monday."

As expected, on Friday, the production team of "Life Is a Play" notified every group that they would build a real stage for a one-hour rehearsal. Li Yue made an appointment with the production team of "Life Is a Play" in advance and successfully booked a rehearsal time at 1:30 p.m.

Xu Miaomiao was very active today. Although she still hadn't memorized all her lines, she was patient enough to rehearse with them over and over again. Seeing that she was finally paying attention, Qi Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

During the break, Pei Xiao passed by a rehearsal room where someone seemed to be arguing. Pei Xiao had just taken two steps when he heard a familiar voice.

"I don't agree with you really slapping me during the rehearsal. If my face gets swollen in the next two days, will I go on stage with a swollen face during the official performance on Monday?"

It was Tang Xiao's voice. Pei Xiao paused and listened to the argument.

"I won't hit you now to test your hand. What if you don't perform well on Monday? Besides, I'll hit you today to get a feel for the strength and direction. I won't hit you tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Two days is enough time for you to recover."

Pei Xiao frowned. What was he doing? Was it bullying from the crew? When was the real fight going to happen? This was clearly an excuse to bully Tang Xiao. Thinking this, Pei Xiao knocked on their door and pushed it open to enter.

"I seemed to hear Xiaoxiao's voice outside just now, but I didn't expect it was really you!"

There was a flash of surprise in Tang Xiao's eyes when she saw Pei Xiao. To her, her relationship with Pei Xiao was not close enough to the point where they called each other by nicknames.

"How did you come?"

"Our group is taking a break. I came out to get some fresh air and just happened to see you, so I came to say hello!"

Pei Xiao walked up to Tang Xiao with a smile and put his arm around her in a pretended intimate way.

"I used all the notes you took for me last time. Ziyi even said that I took it seriously this time! I haven't thanked you properly yet."

Hearing Pei Xiao calling Jiang Ziyi by her nickname, the other three members on the opposite side became a little strange in their expressions. They all remembered Jiang Ziyi's intimate attitude towards Pei Xiao on the day of filming the pilot film.

"By the way, what were you discussing just now? Borrowing positions?"

Pei Xiao tilted his head and looked at the three people in confusion. After hearing Pei Xiao's question, two of them looked at the boy standing in the middle. Pei Xiao guessed that he was the one he heard arguing with Tang Xiao just now.

The boy frowned, and after a long while he forced out a smile and explained:

"Yes, let's discuss how to use a move better, right, Mr. Tang?"

Tang Xiao nodded, and realized belatedly that Pei Xiao was helping her.

"Indeed, this is a stage performance, so it's easy to get caught. We need to rehearse carefully to use the positions..."

Pei Xiao nodded thoughtfully, then changed the subject and looked at the boy with a bit of coldness in his eyes.

"But I believe that you teachers are so professional that you will definitely complete this kind of scene perfectly. You won't make mistakes, and you won't accidentally hit your partner, right?"

Pei Xiao emphasized the sentence "I accidentally hit my partner". The boy could tell that Pei Xiao was warning him not to do anything small. Although he was dissatisfied, he didn't dare to act rashly when he thought that Jiang Ziyi might be standing behind Pei Xiao. After all, he was in the wrong in this matter.

The boy had no choice but to smile awkwardly and agree repeatedly.
