When the food was served, Gao Fan said warmly, “Let’s eat first.”

Lu Zhen had never tasted authentic Hua City cuisine before. Gao Fan could probably tell that she did not know much about Hua City cuisine, so he explained to her one dish after another. The meal took more than 40 minutes. After eating, Gao Fan even asked the attendant to pack a few more dishes that were easy to preserve.

“After coming to Hua City to film, there will still be many opportunities to eat Hua City cuisine,” Lu Zhen said.

“But I can’t always come here to eat. It’s all thanks to you today.” Gao Fan smiled.

Lu Zhen naturally did not think arrogantly that with Gao Fan’s status, he would not be able to eat in a restaurant. However, since Gao Fan said this, it meant that he had a good impression of Lu Zhen.

As the attendant packed the dishes, Gao Fan looked at Lu Zhen indifferently and said, ‘You should have roughly read the script, right?”

Lu Zhen’s heart tightened. Was Director Gao Fan going to test her? She straightened her back like a primary school student answering a teacher’s question seriously. “I’ve read it.”

Gao Fan nodded. “Walk over from the door and act out the scene when Jin Ke first saw Manni.’

Lu Zhen was stunned. Gao Fan didn’t want her to act as the Manni she understood. Instead, he wanted her to act as the Manni in Jin Ke r s eyes. It sounded like they were all acting as Manni, but the difference was huge.

How should she act?

Manni was Jin Ke r s first love. When Jin Ke first saw Manni, in his heart, the beautiful Manni was definitely like a goddess who had descended to the mortal world. Her entire body was shrouded in a layer of sacred and dazzling light.

However, Manni was still a mortal. It was too difficult for Lu Zhen to perform this feeling of transcending mortality.

Lu Zhen bit her lip and thought for a moment. She stood up and walked to the door. She took a deep breath and let her body gradually relax to the most natural state. Then, she eliminated all the distracting thoughts in her heart and allowed herself to enter another person’s state.

After Lu Zhen confirmed that she wanted to act as Manni, she read the original novel of “Rain and Fog” and read the clips about Manni more than ten times. She also wrote a lot of character analysis.

Nianni came from a scholarly family in Hua City in the last century. Although her family was not rich, they were much better than ordinary well-off families. Influenced by her family, Manni could write poetry, play the piano, and draw. After graduation, she entered school and worked as a teacher. At school, Manni was the dream lover of almost all the male students. Those naughty students would fall silent the moment they saw Manni and chase after her with infatuated eyes.

The male lead, Jin Ke, was one of the most mischievous students in school. Due to his big mistake, he was at the risk of dropping out when Manni first entered school. On this day, Jin Ke, who had accepted the principal’s criticism, was taken away by the dean and prepared to go through the withdrawal procedures.

On the third floor of the school building, a few female teachers carrying textbooks walked over from the other end of the corridor. One of them had short hair that reached her shoulders. It was blown by the wind. The warm yellow afternoon sun shone on her face, making her bright eyes appear beautiful amber.

Jin Ke r s world fell silent. His eyes and heart could no longer contain anyone or anything. The young man’s ignorant heart seemed to have welcomed a storm, and his blurry emotions became incomparably clear.

Lu Zhen recalled the description of this scene in the book. A moment later, she slowly turned around and was already in the zone—

Manni slowly walked forward. Her face was almost expressionless, as if she could not blend in with the surrounding environment. She was so noble and

cold, as if other than this sunlight, nothing else had the right to touch her.

Suddenly, Manni felt a presumptuous and direct gaze. She glanced casually and saw Jin Ke. However, Manni’s gaze did not linger on Jin Ke for more than a second. She even forgot what Jin Ke looked like.

Lu Zhen quickly walked to the dining table. She stopped in her tracks and pulled herself out of her acting state. She looked at Gao Fan, and there was a hint of nervousness in her bright eyes.

Gao Fan’s expression did not change much. After a moment, he said calmly, “Go back and practice.”

Lu Zhen was stunned for two seconds. For a moment, she didn’t know what to feel. She nodded. “Okay.”

The two of them left from the “Hundred Fragrances”. Lu Zhen asked Gao Fan if he wanted to take a look around the area. Gao Fan said that he didn’t stay in Hua City for long, so he didn’t go. The two of them parted at the door.

After Lu Zhen got into the car, she was still a little confused..
