Mag heaved a sigh of relief after he finally put the three curious babies to bed. However, he saw Irina lying on her stomach with her chin propped on her hands and looking at him curiously when he returned to the bedroom.

“Why? Are you going to ask if Monkey is a guy or a girl too?” Mag laughingly said.

“I’m just curious about why you have never told me these stories before? Monkey, the Little Mermaid, Snow White… Where did you get these stories from?” Irina said to Mag smilingly, “Actually, I have always been curious about the life you led in the past three years. What made you turn into who you are now?”

“Being a dad who has to take care of his child alone is an unprecedented challenge to me. I need to have more courage than in any of the fights I had before.” Mag sat next to the window and caressed Irina’s soft long hair gently as he smilingly said, “It may not need you to have a powerful might, but you need to have a lot of knowledge to handle the children’s sudden questions, good culinary skills to satisfy their cravings and small tricks to handle all children’s matters.”

Irina sat up and looked at Mag with a gentle gaze. She smiled and then hugged Mag tightly.

“When I was in the tree, I was worried that you couldn’t take care of yourself and Amy, but you did much better than what I imagined. You are a good father.”

Mag hugged her with a smile and whispered into her ear gently, “I just did what I am supposed to do. I hope to give you guys a comfortable life.”

“Then…” Irina curved her lips and said in a low voice, “Tell me the story of ‘Journey to the West’ alone.”

“Huh?” Mag’s hand that was moving downwards, halted.

Rodu, in the backstage of Black Cat Opera House.

Vicki watched as the actors asked Angela, who was removing her makeup, “You’re been here for a few days. How are you feeling now?”

Angela turned to look at her and smilingly said, “I feel that acting is quite fun and much simpler than I have imagined.”

There was a hint of seduction in this woman’s every move. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that she was a natural seductress. Even Vicki was stunned for a moment.

“Simple?” Vicki frowned. “You are saying that performing is a simple thing?”

The relaxed backstage began to quiet down. All the opera actors turned to look at Angela with a piteous look.

Angela nodded. “Based on what I have seen recently, I don’t think it’s difficult yet.”

Vicki crossed her arms and sternly said, “Alright, show me a nervous expression.”

“There are many kinds of nervousness. What kind do you want me to perform?” Angela stood up and asked with an equally serious expression.

“You need to pee urgently. There’s no toilet or bushes nearby and you are surrounded by men,” Vicki said coldly.

Angela snapped her long and shapely legs together and clenched her fists. She leaned forward a little and bit on her lower lip. Her watery eyes looked around with an urgent expression with a hint of nervousness and shyness.

“She portrayed it rather accurately.”

The senior actors present all nodded, recognizing Angela’s performance.

Vicki was stunned. She didn’t expect Angela’s actions and expressions to be so on point, and the shyness in her eyes made people feel sorry for her. That wasn’t something that a normal actor could have portrayed easily.

Vicki continued to say coldly, “You’re pressed against the wall by a man you like, but you accidentally farted.”

All the actors present: “…?”

Angela was also taken aback, but she soon raised her eyebrows and took two steps backwards to lean against the wall. She lifted her chin up slightly, immersing into the character that was being pressed against the wall.

She crossed her arms across her body nervously and pursed her lips together. There was a hint of shyness and gladness in her soft and bright eyes. She looked like a beautiful maiden who had just met the man of her dreams.

She displayed 70% of innocence with 30% of allureness perfectly.

All the men present were stunned. They seemed to have seen a hint of their first love.

Then, her expression suddenly froze and then turned nervous. Her gaze became shifty and her feet moved backwards a little, touching the wall completely. She tugged her skirt with her left hand lightly and lowered her head a little. She looked to her left as though she was planning her escape.

Vicki’s eyelids twitched. Although Angela’s performance wasn’t astonishing to her, it was considered as extraordinary for a noob who had never learned about performing and had only observed in the theater for a few days.

If she expressed it in another form: She was born to be an actor!

Her actions were designed on point and her microexpressions were perfect. Her initial shy and expectant look was enough to move most of the men, and her latter embarrassed expression due to farting accidentally was also equally adorable.

Vicky had already guessed that Angela was the main female lead for the new movie when Mag sent her over. At first, Vicki wasn’t convinced. She believed her acting skills definitely crushed hers.

But now, she was convinced by Mag’s choice.

Although Angela wasn’t a professional actor, she had a great natural talent and a strong learning ability.

Most importantly, she was highly compatible with the character. Based on her earlier performance, Vicki had already found her female lead.

There was probably no one else who was more suitable to play the female lead than Angela in this world.

Vicki looked at Angela with a gentler gaze as she nodded. “From tomorrow on, you will learn to perform from me. Performance is an art form. You still have a long way to go before you can become an outstanding actor.”

“That’s all?” Angela was a little surprised. “I can still perform many different kinds of nervousness.”

“Wake up at six tomorrow morning. The three hours before the morning performance will be the time for you to learn. If your performance is satisfactory, I’ll give you a chance to go on stage.” Vicki calmly said, “But don’t look forward to it too much. It will be a bit character without lines.”

“Will I be acting as a utility man?” Angela asked.

“Girl, don’t look down on the bit characters. We all start from being bit characters.” Old Man Mi chuckled.

Angela shrugged and turned her gaze to Vicki. She smiled enthusiastically and said with a charming voice, “My thirst for knowledge cannot wait any longer. Maestro, let’s not wait till tomorrow morning. Let me go to your room and learn from you tonight. I believe I will have the ability to go on stage tomorrow after your clear explanation and demonstration.”
