    There was some agitation in the audience, but it quickly calmed down.

    Qiao Qiao didn’t care, but she keenly caught a hint of suppressed crying.

    I turned around to look for her and found out that it was the hardest working girl in the class named Zhu Linlin.Qiao Qiao didn’t say a few words to her, but he often heard Zhu Yan mention her, saying that Linlin’s family was not in a good situation, but her parents were determined to train her to become a big star and had strictly disciplined her since she was a child.Zhu Linlin is also very ambitious and studies very hard. He is the first one to come to the library every day and the last one to leave. He also often practices his lines in no-one’s room. He is a strange person that even top student Zhu Yan admires.

    Zhu Linlin had received high scores in the previous tests organized by the class. If ranked by results, the role of Juliet would undoubtedly belong to Zhu Linlin.

    Liu Liwen turned a blind eye to Zhu Linlin’s tears. As soon as the bell rang, she left, leaving only one sentence: “Please attend the rehearsal on time.”

    Most of the girls in the class gathered around to congratulate Jin Siqi. In fact, everyone knew that Jin Siqi got the heroine because her script was liked by the film and television company. Liu Liwen just gave her the heroine because she saw that Jin Siqi was more likely to succeed.

    There is no suspense about the male lead going to Akeno, because there are not many boys in the acting class, and there are even fewer who are as good-looking as Akeno. One stop on the stage is Romeo Moto, and letting him play a supporting role will steal the spotlight from the protagonist.

    Zhu Linlin also knew that since Liu Liwen made such an announcement, there was no room for change, so he could only accept his fate while wiping his tears.

    Jin Siqi didn’t have the consciousness of taking someone else’s position at all. Instead, she was very proud. She walked up to Mingye arrogantly and stretched out her hand: “Please give me more advice in the future.”

    Mingye nodded coldly, turning a blind eye to Jin Siqi’s hand.

    This was an obvious rejection, but she seemed not to notice it, deliberately taking advantage of Akeno’s unpreparedness, grabbing his hand and shaking it with her.

    “There are still many opportunities for close contact when performing a play. Let’s get used to each other in advance.”

    Akeno’s expression changed, and he pulled his hand back: “No need.”

    Jin Siqi: “It doesn’t matter, I’ll let you get used to me.”

    After saying that, she pretended to be charming and flipped up her newly permed long curly hair, then turned around and left.

    Qiao Qiao suddenly felt very guilty. If she hadn’t let Jin Siqi get the script, Zhu Linlin might not have been squeezed out of the role, and Mingye wouldn’t have been forced to shake hands.

    Alas, this was not something she could have expected at the beginning. Let’s take it one step at a time.

    That night, Liu Liwen informed everyone to rehearse in the small auditorium after dinner. Only then did Qiao Qiao know what role he had got.

    maid.

    That’s right, a maid with only two lines.

    Although someone has to play the role of maid, she is not the last one in the class, so just give her the role with the shortest screen time in the whole show?

    Liu Liwen’s eyes swept over Qiao Qiao, and she said seriously: “I know some people may be dissatisfied with the role allocation, but this is decided by our teachers based on the daily performance of the students. If the role you get is not good, it means you should reflect on yourself.”

    OK.

    Qiao Qiao looked at the two pitiful lines in his hand and thought, forget it, Liu Liwen always disliked him anyway, so the maid should be a maid.

    The students were familiar with the script and began formal rehearsals.

    Everything was going well in the beginning. We were all acting majors, and Shakespeare’s works were required reading. We were all familiar with the stories by heart, and we quickly got into the mood.

    Only Akeno got stuck.

    He refused to have physical contact with Jin Siqi.

    The reason is simple: “Uncomfortable.”

    Jin Siqi felt particularly aggrieved: “Mingye, we are going to participate in a drama competition. Romeo and Juliet can’t hold hands… How can we compete?”

    Liu Liwen said dissatisfied: “Mingye, if you have any opinions, you can speak up.”

    Akeno: “I just don’t like people touching me.”

    Jin Siqi: “Can’t you try to overcome it? All the students are working hard for this drama. Is it because you have been stuck here?”

    Akeno said impatiently: “No, you can change the role of Romeo.”

    Jin Siqi: “You…”

    Everyone knows that it is impossible to replace someone. Akeno is so suitable for this role. His noble temperament perfectly matches the image of the son of Count Romeo. If he were replaced by anyone else, the show would be eclipsed.

    And because of Jin Siqi’s “unprofessionalism”, the entire drama basically relied on Akeno for support.

    Liu Liwen suddenly smiled kindly: “Okay, okay, what can’t be discussed? Mingye, this is a problem you brought, and it’s up to you to find a solution, right? You don’t like others touching you, but the show still has to go on, what are you going to do?”

    Akeno’s thin lips moved: “Simple, replace me or replace her.”

    Jin Siqi’s eyes widened: “Why should I be replaced! What qualifications do you have to ask for me to be replaced!”

    Akeno: “Then replace me.”

    After saying that, he folded the script and threw it on the stool next to him: “Just give me any role, it can be a guard or other supporting role.”

    Liu Liwen was in a dilemma. After weighing the two sides, she turned to Jin Siqi’s direction: “Um, classmate Siqi…”

    Jin Siqi’s reaction was particularly intense: “Teacher Liu, are you sure you want to replace me? The movie I wrote is about to start filming! I don’t need to say more about the benefits it can bring to our class? Don’t regret replacing me!”

    That being said, if Akeno were replaced, this drama would be unwatchable…

    After rehearsing for several hours, Jin Siqi’s only understanding of the role is ‘beauty’. All her movements and expressions are directed towards ‘how to show her beauty’. She has both form and appearance on the stage but lacks soul. She is like a beautiful background board. Apart from dryly reciting lines and walking, she can do nothing else.

    The rehearsal reached a deadlock, and Liu Liwen had no choice but to replace Akeno and let another boy in the class play Romeo.

    But this time it was Jin Siqi’s turn to be dissatisfied.

    According to the script, this should be the time for Romeo and Juliet to express their feelings to each other, but as soon as the two hugged, Jin Siqi jumped away with a scream: “He touched my waist!”

    The boy was particularly nervous: “I didn’t, I just wanted to hug you.”

    Jin Siqi: “Who allowed you to hug me?”

    Boy: “That’s what’s written in the script.”

    Jin Siqi: “You will do whatever is written in the script? The script also asks you to commit suicide. Why don’t you go?”

    There is no other choice but to change to another person, but the problem is still the same. Jin Siqi refuses to let those whom she dislikes touch her, and even if she changes to someone she can barely accept, her acting skills will be greatly reduced.Originally, Jin Siqi was just a show-off character. With Akeno here, she could still be taken care of, but if Akeno were replaced, the whole show would be unwatchable.

    Liu Liwen also found out, and reluctantly stopped. While letting the students rest, she called Minye out to talk alone.

    Qiao Qiao mingled with the crowd the whole time, eating melon and watching the show. She knew that Minye had a good background and would be smart if he listened to Liu Liwen.

    Jin Siqi was surrounded by a circle of ‘girlfriends’. Qiao Qiao was addicted to eating melons and listened to their chat with open ears.

    Jin Siqi: “Hmph, I won’t let those stinky losers touch me, do they deserve it?”

    “That’s right, how can those stinky men be worthy of holding hands with Siqi and wanting to hug her? He’s so beautiful!”

    Jin Siqi: “I just said hello to the head teacher and asked Akeno to play Romeo. I don’t believe I can’t cure him.”

    “He is so afraid of contact with women. Is he… sick?”

    Jin Siqi was startled: “It’s possible. If it’s impotence, wouldn’t I be at a loss?”

    The image of Akeno with red cheeks and eyes full of desire automatically appeared in Qiao Qiao’s mind, thinking that you guys are overthinking, Akeno simply doesn’t like others touching him.

    Jin Siqi: “Forget it, let’s get him first. If he is really sick, just kick him out.”

    Someone in the best friend group clapped their hands: “Siqi is still awesome. Then the whole school will know that you have knocked out the number one male star among the freshmen. Doesn’t this help stabilize Zhang Kelan?”

    Zhang Kelan is the number one on the list of freshmen goddesses. I heard that she has been secretly in love with Mingye since she entered school and has offered her an olive branch many times. However, Mingye has no interest in her and has always been indifferent.

    Jin Siqi smiled, as if the scene she described had been realized: “Of course, the man she likes likes me and was dumped by me. She will probably be mad to death.”

    The best friends burst into laughter in tacit agreement.

    Qiao Qiao was even more excited than them: It’s been a long time since she’s eaten such delicious melon, no one can stop her, she will continue to eat!

    After waiting for a while, Liu Liwen came back and announced an important decision: changing the heroine!

    Qiao Qiao thought that Liu Liwen was not too stupid. Although it was a pity to lose Jin Siqi’s network, if she continued to play the heroine, the entire acting class would not be able to get ahead. Compared with more than 30 connections, it was obvious that one network was more important.

    Jin Siqi’s eyes widened and she screamed: “Liu Liwen, do you dare to replace me?”

    Liu Liwen’s face sank: “Who taught you to call the teacher by his first name? This matter has been decided. If you still want to act, just accept the arrangement. If you don’t want to act, please go back.”

    Jin Siqi was so angry that her chest kept heaving, but no matter how much she hated it, she could only accept it and could not really quit.

    Liu Liwen’s tone also softened: “Okay, since it is a collective play, we must focus on the overall situation, and I will definitely arrange another suitable role for you.”

    She turned to Akeno: “Is this okay? It’s already very late today. Let’s choose the heroine tomorrow.”

    Akeno: “No need to choose, I have already chosen.”

    Liu Liwen was not very happy: “Mingye, you mean, I don’t even have the right to choose the heroine?”

    Akeno looked at her indifferently: “Since you are acting with me, of course you have to choose someone I think is suitable.”

    Liu Liwen: “Who do you want to choose?”

    Akeno: “Qiao Qiao.”
