Impossible Lovers

15.

In the morning, they were running around outside, but in the afternoon, Lisa lay on the bed resting until evening when Meng Yaxin sent a message to go down for dinner.
Meng Yaxin had been having a great time at the Starlight Farm these past two days. She went to the strawberry field in the morning to pick strawberries and spent the afternoon with a group of children at the ranch, watching cows. She even rented a small plot of land on the farm and said she would come to take care of it every week.

As working professionals couldn't come to the farm every day to tend to their vegetables, Starlight Farm also offered a hosting service. For a fee, they could have someone take care of their plot regularly. Lisa thought of it as an "intellectual tax" because she couldn't see much difference between this and farmers growing vegetables and then you buying them at the market. But she hadn't expected that there were many people rushing to pay this "tax".

"You don't understand. This is something engraved in the DNA of our Chinese people," Meng Yaxin shrugged, refusing to admit that she was subjected to this "intellectual tax".

"Oh," Lisa didn't bother arguing further; it wasn't her money anyway. As they chatted, Lisa's phone alarm suddenly went off. Meng Yaxin was startled and looked with her chopsticks in her mouth, "What did you set the alarm for at this time? Reminding you to have dinner?"

Lisa shouldn't be so obsessed with work that she would skip meals, right?

Lisa turned off the alarm and quickly entered the background casting group, "At this time, they will post the casting notice in the group. I missed it yesterday, I can't afford to miss it again today!"

"Oh," Meng Yaxin didn't expect that posting a casting notice in a group was as competitive as snatching seconds in a sale, "There's so much competition even for foreground roles?"
Lisa said, "There are only one or two casting notices in the group each day, but there are hundreds of people waiting for them. Do you think the competition isn't fierce?"

Meng Yaxin: "..."

She couldn't understand. With that effort, why not try to find a role directly at the studio?

"It's here," the group admin's announcement message was posted, and Lisa quickly pasted her pre-written response, "Yes! I'm the first today!"

"... Congratulations to you."

While Lisa and Meng Yaxin were having dinner, Tan Yao was singing at the KTV with his brothers.
On the sofa was the stuffed doll that Lisa gave him today.

"I didn't expect Brother Tan to be sentimental," one of his brothers picked up the doll that Tan Yao had placed on the sofa, "How strange."

"Tsk, don't make it dirty," Tan Yao took the doll back and placed it on the other side. The brother couldn't help but laugh, "What's going on? Is this doll a gift from your friend? Wait, when did you make new friends? Why didn't I know about it?"

Someone nearby informed him, "Today, Brother Tan took his little cousin to the Starlight Farm to play. He competed with a boss there in catching dolls; he lost with a score of zero to four. He hasn't recovered from the embarrassment yet."

"Hahaha, tell me more!"

"Don't mention it. He was really embarrassed today. It's a pity I was not there to witness it, hahaha."

Tan Yao: "..."
What kind of friends did he have? :)

"Stop laughing!" Tan Yao stood up from the sofa, took the microphone in his hand, and announced, "I've made up my mind. Sooner or later, I will make Lisa fall for my charm!"

Others exchanged comments like watching a show:

"Oh, are you planning to pursue her?"

"But what does she see in you? Your skill in catching dolls?"
