After checking around, Su Mu slapped Lin Jiu's work backhand and said to him with compassion.
"Thank you Lord! I'm going to take a shower and go to bed!" Lin Jiu clasped his hands and said gratefully to Su Mu, then quickly turned around and ran towards the bathroom.
The speed was as if he was afraid that Su Mu would change his mind again.
Su Mu was speechless as he watched Lin Jiu quickly disappear from sight, closed the book in his hand, reached out and pinched the bridge of his nose, then stood up and walked towards Su Xiaoli's room.
——
The next day was the official beginning of Lin Jiu's miserable life.
During breakfast, Su Mu casually recited words to Lin Jiumo while eating.
Lin Jiu ate so frightened that he struggled to memorize it. He finally got through it, but on the way to the train station, Su Mu threw him a few more ancient poems and asked him to memorize them before getting off the train.
After Lin Jiu stuttered through the recitation of the ancient poems and the three of them got on the train together, Su Mu threw him a math paper and asked him to finish it before arriving at the station.
After Lin Jiu finished writing the math paper in tears, Su Mu asked him to memorize the physics formula again on the way to the audition location.
Su Xiaoli sat next to the two of them, looking at Lin Jiu's miserable look, and couldn't help but shudder. Fortunately, she had good grades since she was a child. Otherwise, if her brother had to give her
With tutoring, her life might be even more miserable than that of brother Lin Jiu.
After the car arrived at the audition location, the three of them got out of the car together.
Su Mu raised his head and took a look. It was a private house from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, with gray walls, gray tiles, and simple wooden doors, but there was no one at the door.
"Brother... should we make a phone call??" Su Xiaoli glanced at this ordinary house, reached out and tugged on Su Mu's sleeve, and asked in a low voice.
"Yeah." Su Mu nodded, asked Lin Jiu for his cell phone, pulled out a text message sent by the person who called them yesterday, and then dialed the number on the text message.
The phone rang for a while, and finally someone answered it. The background sound was a bit noisy, as if there were many people there. As soon as the person on the phone heard that he was here for an audition, he asked him to go directly through the door.
It was said that the director was in the hall.
After Su Mu responded, he hung up the phone.
After entering the gate, there is a courtyard. There are stone tables and benches in the courtyard. Not far from the tables and benches, there are thick flowers and plants, and some people wearing staff-style clothes are walking around busily.
In the center of the courtyard, there is a blue-grey stone road leading directly to the hall. The hall door is a dark red wooden door with complex patterns carved on it. The two middle doors are half-open. The diamond-shaped wooden windows in the side corridors are open, which is clean and bright.
On the roof of the hall, there are occasional birdsong, which adds a touch of comfort to this ordinary small courtyard in the afternoon.
Su Mu walked slowly along the stone road to the door of the hall, then stopped in front of the half-open wooden door, reached out and knocked gently.
After a while, a deep and hearty voice came from inside the room: "Come in."
Su Mu hesitated for a moment and pushed open the wooden door.
There were several cameras set up in the room, and several staff members stood nearby with lighting boards and windproof microphones.
The person sitting behind the monitor screen turned around, looked at Su Mu standing at the door, and said with a smile: "Here?"
