chapter Five 1
"Pi is 3.1415926535897932..."
The weather was not very good on Saturday morning. Large dark clouds gathered over the distant sea and the waves were beating heavily against the coast.
I stood trembling outside the beautiful glass house of the drama club, racking my brains to recite the value of pi , trying to calm myself down!
Thanks to that idiot Ayano Yu, after he asked Mr. Shinonome to call Senior Shinonome, I... I don't know why, I became the heroine of the drama club in a daze!
“Calm down… Mingchacha, calm down…” I took a deep breath.
But how could I stay calm? Only two days left! The show would officially begin in two days, but I hadn’t even read the script. Besides, I had never acted in a play since I was a child…
"Ming Chacha is actually late... Does she really think the role of the heroine is unimportant?" From far away through the door, Yamazaki Yuri's distinctive shrill voice came into my ears.
Huh? Why is she here too?
Not only that, she also brought the girls from the fan club. They didn't even notice me standing outside the door and just joined in the conversation.
"How could Senior Dongyun do this? Our Youli is much prettier than Mingchacha. Why would he agree to let that girl replace her?"
"For such an important performance at the International Awards, Yamazaki-san has already memorized his lines!"
"Mingchacha is going to mess it up!"
…
I was hesitant and absent-minded, not daring to push the door and go in. The discussions seemed like a surging tide in the distance, almost crushing me!
Yes, I have to admit that I really have no confidence in acting...
"Hey, Xiao Cha Cha, why are you standing here?" Just when I was wondering whether to give up, suddenly, a familiar figure walked over.
There was a dark golden butterfly tattooed on his exquisite white magic robe, and the wide cloak fluttered in the wind, making his figure look extremely elegant. He had long light brown hair, and half a golden butterfly tattooed on his bright cheek like a petal, which spread its wings as if ready to fly as his eyes turned upward.
Who else could be such a bright and charming young man except Senior Dongyun?
"Dongyun...Senior," I swallowed. He is worthy of being the top star of the drama club. He is so dazzling every time he appears.
"Ahaha, these props I just ordered look great!" Senior Dongyun gave me a big smile as if he could read my mind.
"Don't listen to what those girls say," he patted my shoulder nonchalantly, "I'm so happy that you can be my heroine, otherwise I'm afraid I'll vomit every time I play opposite Yamazaki Yuri."
I burst out laughing. It was so strange. Senior Dongyun's aura was so warm that my nervousness disappeared unconsciously. This feeling was like the winter sun shining on my body, warm and making me not want to move...
"But... isn't Yamazaki Yuri the heroine chosen by everyone's vote? Why don't you like her?" I was still a little unconfident. Although Yamazaki Yuri was annoying, I had to admit that she was indeed prettier than me.
An Xuechang's exquisite and perfect face showed an unhappy expression: "Pretty? Is she as pretty as me? What's the use of having a pretty face? She memorized the lines well, but her acting is too exaggerated! She roars to the sky at every turn. Does she think she is Erkang? The only way to vent her emotions is to compare whose nostrils are bigger."
"Ahahahaha!" I almost couldn't straighten my back because of laughing.
Senior Dongyun is so interesting. Why didn’t I realize before that he is so funny?
"Don't be afraid, come, follow me in!" Senior Dongyun took my hand, pushed open the door of the glass house, and walked in heroically.
"Hello, dear members, the president is here with his beautiful heroine!" Senior Dongyun ignored the girls' instantly worsening expressions and greeted them enthusiastically.
Leading! His action now doesn't look like "leading" at all, it's clearly "kidnapping"!
“President…”
Except for the girls from the fan club who glared at me, all the other members of the drama club looked at Senior Dongyun in silence, and they all showed a headache expression at the same time.
“Um…” I struggled to break free from Senior Dongyun and said dryly, “Hahaha, hello everyone…”
The last time I came here, I just sat on the bench outside and chatted with Senior An, and didn't go in to take a good look at the rehearsal room. This time I found that it was so spacious! Especially the huge floor-to-ceiling mirror embedded on the wall, which reflected everyone's figures clearly.
I easily spotted Yamazaki Yuri in the crowd. She was wearing a white ruffled sleeveless dress today, looking pure and lovely, but her "burned" hand was wrapped in thick gauze, looking miserable.
The girls from the fan club gathered around her, all looking at me with eager eyes, as if I would transform into Godzilla and destroy the earth at any time...
This is too exaggerated!
"There's not much time left, let's get started!" After saying hello, Senior Higashimo turned to me and said as if he didn't see Yamazaki Yuri.
"Ah? So fast?" I was not mentally prepared at all!
Senior Dongyun gave me a warm smile, suddenly stretched out his hand and tapped me on the forehead.
"Ah!" I was caught off guard.
"Soon? The official performance will be the day after tomorrow!" Although there was a smile on his face, there was still a hint of worry in his eyes.
In an instant, I understood what Senior Dongyun meant. Yes...how could you waste your time just for me?
I made up my mind and clenched my teeth: "Okay! Let's get started!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp female voice suddenly rang out: "Wait a minute!"
I turned around and watched Yamazaki Yuri slowly approach me. A look of unwillingness flashed across her palm-sized heart-shaped face: "Ming Cha Cha , I have something to say..."
"Let's talk after rehearsal." Senior Dongyun pulled me behind him and said, "Yamazaki-san, since you are already injured, please don't delay our rehearsal any longer!"
"Senior Dongyun..." She widened her eyes in disbelief, looking pitiful, "Why...why do you dislike me so much?"
"Hey! What did you say?" Senior Dongyun frowned and said angrily.
"Am I wrong?" Yamazaki Yuri's eyes welled up with tears. "Although I know my acting skills are not as good as yours, but, but Ming Cha Cha is too bad! Why did you immediately agree to let her replace me!"
"This..." For a moment, Senior Dongyun was a little speechless.
That's right, actually, the decision that I could replace Yamazaki Yuri to play the female lead this time was completely made by Ayano Yu and Shinonome-senpai on their own. I don't know why, but Shinonome-senpai actually agreed to his suggestion so immediately. It's incredible.
"Ming Cha Cha," seeing that he didn't speak, Yamazaki Yuri's voice suddenly became louder, "How about we make a bet?"
"Bet?" What bet?
I don’t know why, but I was extremely resistant to everything she said and subconsciously wanted to refuse. But the next second, Yamazaki Yuri shocked me!
"Ming Cha Cha, on behalf of all the girls in the fan club, I want to challenge 'Jiono No Hoshi' in this performance of the drama club!"
challenge!
My mind seemed to be struck by a bolt of lightning, and it instantly turned into a mess. What kind of challenge is this... Wait, if it's a challenge to "Jono Star", then shouldn't I be able to refuse?
"How about this? We use this drama award as a bet, how about that?" Yamazaki Yuri proudly raised a finger and shook it at me. "Everyone here has seen my acting skills. If you can surpass me within two days, I will admit defeat, and I promise you that from now on, all the girls in Jono Academy will never bother you again!"
All the girls stopped bothering me... This bet is really tempting...
"But...if your acting is terrible and you can't get everyone's recognition, Mingchacha, you have to get out of Jono Academy! How about that?"
I couldn't help but be stunned. So, this was Yamazaki Yuri's real purpose? To make me drop out of Jono College?
"Why, are you scared?" She smiled at me provocatively, "If you are scared, there are many people waiting for the position of the heroine!"
