At that moment, Tang Li felt a gentle tap on her shoulder.
She turned around—
It was a couple.
“Hey, can we squeeze in next to you?”
Tang Li smiled: “Sure.”
She picked up her backpack and shifted to the side.
—Something was pressing against her buttocks.
She instinctively reached for it, only to discover it was the original novel “Original Sin.”
New novel chapt𝒆rs are published on ƒгeewebnovёl.com.
She had no idea who had left it there.
One of the pages of the book was dog-eared.
Tang Li opened it by following the fold.
On stage, the girl’s voice rose and fell: “I didn’t understand what you said. Since my sister has already passed away, our priority should be to lay her to rest peacefully, not to question each other and tear this family apart!”
Utilizing the faint light from her cellphone, Tang Li quickly scanned the content on the page.
It happened to have the line spoken by the girl on stage.
Tang Li quickly realized that this must be the scene for today’s audition.
The girl’s subsequent performance confirmed her guess.
Under the spotlight, the girl sat in front of the dressing table, dabbing makeup with a puff while rehearsing her lines: “Instead of suspecting and accusing me here, stepmother, you’d better go back to your room and discuss with dad whether to make a single grave for my sister or to prepare a family package that includes you and my dad to get a 20% discount.”
The girl who came to audition clearly had done her homework well.
She had a high ponytail, a full forehead, and delicate facial features which closely matched the description of Ying Xuaner in the novel.
However, perhaps due to excessive nervousness, her emotional delivery of the lines was not quite right.
Eighteen-year-old Ying Xuaner appeared radiant and beautiful on the outside, but inside, she harbored a dark and solitary side. Her mother, suffering from depression, committed suicide by jumping off a building when Ying Xuaner was only six.
When her mother’s body fell from the window outside, Ying Xuaner was practicing basic ballet steps on tiptoe in the dance studio on the first floor.
No one knew that this scene would haunt her nightmares for twelve full years.
That was also the year she began to detest dancing.
Not long after her mother’s death, her father brought his mistress and her child, who he had been keeping on the side, to live in their house.
Having lost her loved ones at such a young age, watching her father and the intruding invaders flirting day in and out, the six-year-old girl, facing endless lonely nights, gradually veered towards an extreme human nature.
Therefore, even though Ying Xuaner was a criminal, she was not despised by the audience.
In fact, many could understand the motives behind her murder.
Her father indirectly caused her mother’s death, and after he brought in his mistress and her daughter, he frequently scolded Ying Xuaner, his own daughter. Any person would reasonably harbor negative emotions under these circumstances.
However, murder is against the law, and Ying Xuaner still needed to face legal consequences.
But now—
Facing the stepmother who had lost her beloved daughter, Ying Xuaner only felt a surge of relief, her tone should contain no reserve.
The judges below began whispering to one another.
Seeing what was happening, the girl grew even more nervous, her throat felt as if it were clamped shut, and the female teacher acting with her, in a reproachful stepmother’s tone, said: “Fine! You’ve grown up. I’m going to find your father right now and let him hear how his wonderful daughter is looking forward to his early death!”
After speaking, the female teacher turned to walk “out.”
According to the novel’s plot, Ying Xuaner was supposed to grab her stepmother; their confrontational scene hadn’t ended yet.
But the girl was still sitting in front of the dressing table and failed to react in time, thinking about running to stop the female teacher would be out of sync with the scene as described in the novel.
Just as the female teacher was about to walk off stage—
A sudden force fiercely grabbed her arm!
Another soft and ghostly female voice followed: “I can understand having mental issues after losing a daughter, stepmom, but it’s a bit too much if you’re still thinking of stirring up trouble right now.”
The female teacher turned her head, only to see a girl with sea-blue grey hair.
