【 Alex's perspective】

"This place is too broken, if it wasn't for my dream, I wouldn't ride on my small motorcycle and travel a thousand miles on this hot blazing day..."

I touched the pitiful amount of money in my pocket and sighed again.

"Oh! Life will always be hard for a little unknown actor like me, when can I become one of the famous stars?"

Sweat was dripping from my forehead like beads.

"Ah, I finally arrived at the place. This place is hard to find."

When I reached the location, I walked through some shabby factory passage and saw an actor waiting in the lounge.

"Hey buddy, are you here to audition for this play?" A man in a peaked cap wiggled his eyebrows and grinned.

I shrugged my shoulders.

"It seems like you don't like this job, why? Did you come here to be a background actor?" 

"Don't look down on me, I have an acting talent." 

So I passed the time by gossiping with other background actors who, just like me, traveled a thousand miles just for this audition until it was my turn.

"Hello director, my name is Alex, 063 auditionee."

"What I'd like to audition for today is ..."

Before I could finish, I saw a man with a work card hanging around his neck.

He quietly walked beside the director, whispered a few words, and then they hurried out.

"This ... what's wrong?"

"I haven't started the performance yet. Why did they leave? "

I stood there stunned; no one was in the audition room, no one talked to me about what I should do; I spent the most embarrassing ten minutes of my life.

"You, come here and follow me." A man suddenly appeared in front of my eyes and pointed at me.

"Was I just summoned by the principal director?" I thought to myself.

"Good luck, buddy!" The other auditionee jokingly cheered me on.

"What's the matter, principal director? Is something wrong?" I asked as I walked in.

"The only female isn't with us today. You're the only one who has the same figure and a similar look to her. If you come to the audition, you'll get double the pay."

"What? A woman?" I widened my eyes and felt really angry.

But at least it was a big chance; as she was the leading lady.

I nodded my head humbly.

"Thank you, sir, for giving me this precious opportunity.

When I entered the studio, everyone looked worried.

"Go find me a dress just like this, hurry up!"

"Oh my god, it's Charlie!" My mouth tingled as I suddenly saw that the male protagonist was Charlie, the most prominent actor in our country.

"I wish I could always work with him in my life ..."

As I was stunned, something blocked my view.

"Put it on, it’s already the next scene with you and Charlie."

I immediately regained consciousness, "OK!" I nodded.

I changed my clothes and put on some heavy makeup, it didn't take long for me to regain my senses.

"My God, that looks OK!" Someone was stunned.

"Charlie's looks are truly indescribable."

"Scene three, pass at a time, action!"

With a bang, Charlie quickly entered the play, and I stood confused at the scene.

"Wait, what's wrong with you?" The director's face turned red and growled at me.

"What are you doing out there?"

"Do you want to continue acting or not, or do you need me to replace you?"

The director's roar came at me.

"Sorry, sorry," I said, bowing to the director.

The director heaved a sigh. Then he lifted his plate again.

"Scene three, one, two begin."

"Stop."

Before I could begin my lines, the director shouted "Stop" again.

"Scene three, one more time."

I looked at Charlie, my face flushed. I couldn't even say a word.

"Stop."

The director's face was so long that it reached the floor.

However, the repeated audition wore on the people's patience, and they began to whisper.

I ducked my head, knowing I had made a big mistake.

"Don’t worry, take your time, I'll teach you."

 Charlie's soft voice suddenly rang out. His hypnotizing eyes stared into my soul.

"OK, I'll try my best." I said while blushing.

Just as the crew was preparing for the next shooting, I suddenly heard a loud noise.

I looked up and blurted out.

"Be careful!"

I stood in front of Charlie and blocked the water pouring out of the pipe. It was a huge stream of water, swaying in the air like a dragon.

The water dragon seemed to smile then it growled at me.

My ear didn't seem to hear anything but a drumming sound that appeared to be a heartbeat.

I turned and looked at Charlie; an eerie feeling ran through my veins. I could hear a heartbeat, not mine but his.

I stumbled and fell into his arms, the water dragon was still focused on me, but at that moment, I looked into his beautiful starry eyes as if there was nothing in this world but him and me.

"OK, this is perfect!!" I heard the director's voice.

The water fell on my head, but I felt nothing.

"Is everything OK?" Charlie's soft voice reminded me again.

I quickly stood up and shook the water off on me.

"Nothing, nothing, just taking a shower, nothing, just taking a bath."

I was very happy to hear the news that I passed the audition and I even managed to hear his magnetic voice.

【 Charlie's perspective】

"I didn't expect the director to put a boy in the role of the heroine." I was surprised at first.

But when I first saw him in the actor's waiting lounge, I had a special feeling that something was going to happen between us.

"He doesn't have much acting experience, but I will try to help him pass the screening." I promised the director.

The director had no other choice on the spot, so he nodded.

On the set, I also saw that he kept trying.

And made some progress after repeated failures.

I saw some of my past self in him.

"No, take your time. I'll show you."

I seemed to have a strange affinity for this little boy.

"Watch it!"

I watched as he bravely stood in front of me to block the sudden burst of water from reaching me. I looked into his eyes, I was amazed to hear something, a heartbeat, not mine, but his.

He looked like a drowned rat after blocking the water.

"Are you OK?"

I wanted to show a little concern for him, but I didn't know what to say.

[Alex's perspective]

"Director, how about this?"

"Is this one all right?"

"Well, the performance is OK. Later, you can go to the finance office to get your salary."

"OK, thank you, director."

I also changed my clothes at will, and when I got the money, I was ready to go back.

"Oh?"

"Charlie?"

"What's the matter with you?"

"Why are you still here?"

I looked at Charlie, who’s standing by the car with a sad face. He seemed to have a little problem.

"My car is broken. I don't know who did this to the tires and so I can't go now."

"Let me see," leaving my motorcycle at the side of the road.

"Are you in a hurry? If it's urgent, I can give you a ride."

"Just leave the car here. I'll call the repair shop."

"Well ... then please."

He sat in the back.

"Where are you going?"

"Guangmo Building, I will meet a very important investor in 20 minutes."

"Twenty minutes is enough."

I wore my helmet. "Sit tight."

[Charlie's perspective]

I didn't expect motorcycles to be this fast on a highway.

"Slow down and ride steadily. I'll be fine for a few minutes."

I took him by the waist, giving me a peace of mind.

"Why did you enter the entertainment industry?"

"You don't seem like the right person for this industry." I finally spoke out my doubts.

"What?,Speak up!" Alex said

"I say, why did you came to audition"

"Just because I want to!"

"You are very talented. If you want to have more progress, you can come to me when you have time. I will teach you."

"Really?"

"I mean it."

I didn't know why I blurted out these words; maybe because he helped me, or it was the reassuring heartbeat, I felt at the moment.

I secretly stared at him, but I didn't expect to see the deep feelings in his eyes.

"I ... watch the road ..."

[Alex's perspective]

I felt a feeling of tightness in the back, and my strong heartbeat was a perfect fusion together with Charlie's heartbeat.

"Charlie ..."

Looking back at Charlie, I saw his two eyes and his silence, which seemed to attract me.

After some time we arrived at the appointed place, my "little donkey" was broken because of our speed.

"Ahhh! ! ! ! !

Charlie, I love you! ! ! ! !

Charlie!

Charlie!"

There were so many people outside the building that made the road impassable.

"I wish I also have this many fans like him."

I thought about it, after so many years, it's time to be famous.

When I was still thinking about it, the stream of people had rushed to Charlie.

[Charlie's perspective]

Looking at the crowds of fans, I only felt at a loss.

"What's your name?"

"Oh, just call me Lei Feng, hehe hehe."

Looking at more and more people gathering, I had to sneak into the building.

Suddenly I heard the voice behind me, but the cheers of fans covered it up.

[Alex's perspective]

"My name is Alex!"

I tried to chase him and tell my name, but the security guard stopped me.

"I would not have played jokes if I had known this would happen. Now, he doesn't even know who I am. Ah ..."

In desperation, I had to help my little donkey and got ready to go home.

[Alex's perspective]

"Hello, I'm here to see a doctor."

Since that day, my heart beats so fast, so I had to consult with a doctor.

"Tell me about your symptoms."

"I have been feeling that my heart is beating too much these days and it's the first time I experienced it."

"Untie your clothes and let me listen to your heartbeat."

I went through the hospitalization procedure smoothly.

"Hey, Mom, it's me. I'm hospitalized in the Cardiopulmonary Department of the People's Hospital. Can you

come over?"

It was dark when my mom arrived.

"How many times do you have to do this?Why can't you be like your brother?"

"... I know."

"Look at him, young and promising."

"And look at you, waiting to die having done nothing and not achieving anything."

"I signed you up for this year's civil service exam."

"When you passed the exam, you can enter a government institution, which is better than your useless job now."

"I don't want it. Being an actor is my dream, it not a messy job."

I argued, but it didn't seem to be of any use.

"Also, I will introduce you to a nice girl. When you are discharged from the hospital, you must contact her and get married in the future."

"No way, I won't go."

"You must go!"

"Am I so bad?"

Looking at her far back, I began to doubt myself.

"Since I graduated from college, I have never had a serious job. After so many years, I still ran between the crew. Is my life really so failed?"

It reminded me of what my brother said to me before.

"You are a waste, You rely everything on others."

"Your existence makes the people around you are endangered."

"Am I really so bad?"

Just when I doubted myself, I suddenly remembered Charlie's words.

"You are very talented, I believe you can."

"I can definitely catch up with my brother."

"That must be my brother, and I want to be like as my brother."

The TV across the bed began to broadcast advertisements. I just wanted to turn it off, only to find out that Charlie was the commercial model.

My heartbeat faster again, and my face turned red gradually.

"Turn it off, Is it illegal to grow up like this? "

I went back to bed.

"Ah, when can I move forward?"

After leaving the hospital a week later, my life seemed to have returned to the past.

"Every day I go to the audition and I always fail. It really pisses me off."

I kicked the little stone on the side of the road, feeling a little depressed.

"Hello, this is Alex."

The sudden ringing of the telephone startled me.

"Interview?"

"What interview?"

"Well, I must prepare and take this seriously."

"Finally!"

"MV interview, I am still the favorite candidate?"

"My God, when can I get this kind of treatment?"
