chapter Five 3
Plop! Plop!
I heard my own heartbeat, and at that moment, it was so urgent that it was simply overwhelming.
The blood in my body seemed to be boiling. I had never felt this way before. It was as if just one look could make me burn from head to toe...
"Tick." Suddenly, a drop of water fell on my face, and the cold touch made me wake up instantly.
"It's raining!" Ayano Yuya turned his head away in panic, and his fair ears were stained with a thin layer of red.
Ming Cha Cha, what happened to you just now?
"Let's find a place to hide..." I tried my best to ignore my hot face.
"This way!" He interrupted me, grabbed my hand, opened the door of the small red telephone booth and went in.
Uh... so small and crowded!
Originally, there was only enough space for one person to stand in this telephone booth. Now, Ayano Yu's 1.80-meter-tall figure was squeezed against me, leaving me no room to turn around.
"Hualala..." The rain was getting heavier and heavier. The big raindrops hit the glass heavily. The only sound around was the huge rain. The world seemed to have suddenly become smaller. I seemed to have an illusion, as if the drama club, the girls in the fan club, and the troublesome 'Jono no Hoshi' had all disappeared, and only me... and Ayano Yuu beside me were left.
Ayano Yu seemed to have sensed something as well. Our eyes met, and then we immediately separated in panic.
"Ahem! Look, there are posters outside this remote telephone booth!" He was making small talk.
"Yeah, yeah..." I nodded randomly, not knowing what I was saying at all.
I don't know why, but this feeling is so strange... My heart is beating so fast, but it's not completely panic, but a little sweet...
"Mingchacha," Ayano Yu spoke again after a while, his voice carrying a slightly warm feeling, "Actually, I saw your performance today. I think you're just not prepared. It's not as bad as they say!"
"Did you see it all?" I looked up in surprise.
That’s right, this guy suddenly appeared in front of me and pulled me away from under the eyes of so many people. I don’t know how long he had been watching me silently outside the window... But he said I was not that bad, he must have been just comforting me.
"Don't comfort me," I felt bad when I thought of this, "I know I'm terrible, why am I the 'Ji-no Star'? I obviously don't want to be the heroine at all!"
"Why?" He paused unexpectedly before asking slowly.
I said frustratedly, “I can’t act well.”
"You can do it!" Unexpectedly, Ayano Yu's reaction was even stronger than mine. He held my shoulders tightly, staring at me with his black gemstone eyes, "Ming Cha Cha, I believe you can do it!"
“Plop! Plop!”
This is the second time today that Ayano Yu said to me in such a confident tone - he believes I can do it!
"But I... I haven't even memorized all my lines. I'm even nervous when I see the people from the drama club, let alone the large audiences that will be there!" I stammered, trying hard to find evidence that I couldn't do it.
"Calm down!" He struggled to free up a hand and rubbed my head roughly, "You are the star of Shirono, is it easy for you to memorize the lines?!"
Ayano Yu was like a magician, and he produced several pieces of paper from nowhere, which were covered with densely written words.
"Drama...script?" I leaned over to take a look and was instantly stunned.
Why does this guy have such a thing as a script?
"It's time for Ayano Yuu to teach!" He raised his dark eyebrows and rubbed his chin with his bony fingers. "Ming Cha Cha, I can give you a discount on the tuition. All you have to do is make lunch boxes for me for three days. How about that?"
Sure enough... every time I change my opinion of this guy a little bit, he makes me laugh and cry.
I glared at him with disdain: "Besides eating, what else do you know? You're still memorizing lines. If you can memorize all of this, I'll make lunch boxes for you every day!"
Ayano Yu looked at me deeply, and suddenly smiled gently, as warm as a spring breeze: "Stupid, don't say nonsense!"
Facts have proved that we really shouldn’t speak carelessly!
I didn't expect that Ming Chacha would be wrong one day. This guy took the script and flipped through a few pages. He was just like the legendary scanner, imprinting all those lyrical passages that made people vomit blood in his mind. Moreover, Ayano Yu's acting was completely impeccable. He could actually play the male protagonist, the female protagonist, the maid, the cook and the gardener of the male protagonist's house at the same time...
Listening to him speaking a long string of lines accurately in one breath, at that moment, I really had the urge to kneel down.
I really underestimated him before!
This is a story that happened in the magic world. Once upon a time, a kind and lovely angel was betrayed by her friend and fell into the mortal world. A powerful wizard who passed by saved the angel and fell in love with her the moment he first met her. However, this relationship violated a taboo and was doomed to fail. So the wizard endured his feelings and silently helped the lovely angel. This offended the friend who framed the angel, so she attacked the wizard. When the wizard was dying, the angel finally understood her feelings and found that she also liked the wizard. In order to save the wizard, the angel gave all her strength, used up her last vitality, and gave him a kiss of blessing...
Oh my god, with Ayano Yu's powerful performance, not only the lines suddenly became funny and interesting, but even the story plot also vividly emerged in my mind!
"I will always love you until my soul dissipates..." The last line, Ayano Yu's low and beautiful voice was like the breeze on a moonlit night, gently falling into my ears, making everything become dreamy.
At this moment, I seemed to have really become that stupid, clumsy and slow angel, and the person standing in front of me was the lover I was willing to exchange my life for...
"What is this?" Suddenly, Ayano Yu shouted!
I'm upset. It's such a good atmosphere. I just happened to feel like an angel. What the hell am I screaming about?
"What's your name!" I wanted to strangle this guy in front of me, even though he was my male protagonist the second before!
"There's a kissing scene in the last scene?" He stared at the script in disbelief, his eyes so sharp that they seemed to burn through it, "Dongyun Xun is going to kiss you!"
My face suddenly felt hot, and I fiercely snatched the script from Ayano Yu's hand: "It's not a real kiss! Did you see it clearly? It's clearly a kiss of blessing, the magic cast by the last angel!"
"So what?" he said unhappily. "Donyun Xun is too good to you. That guy definitely has no good intentions. Who knows if he will play some tricks in the end? No, Ming Cha Cha, you'd better stop acting."
This guy changes too fast!
"Shut up!" I glared at him. "You said that when you kissed me before, I didn't see such a reaction..."
Oops! Bah bah bah… Why did I bring this up again? Didn’t we agree to completely forget about it and treat it as a dog bite?
I suddenly closed my mouth, but the heat on my face wouldn't go away. In an instant, a blush appeared on Ayano Yu's handsome face like white jade, and he became a little uncomfortable.
"Ahem," he pretended not to hear anything, "Actually, even though you're dumb, it's just lines. It won't be difficult for you. Remember to prepare lunch for me!"
"Even if the lines are fine, I'll still be nervous!" I said unwillingly, "I'll make mistakes then!"
"Nervous?" Strangely, this guy suddenly acted as if he had heard something funny, "Hey, have you forgotten about that day when you slapped me in front of so many people?"
I stared at him expressionlessly.
"Ming Cha Cha, you're still pretending!" Ayano Yu blinked and smiled at me, revealing his white teeth. "I've never seen a girl braver than you. You actually dared to hit someone in front of so many fans. And you say you're afraid this time?"
"Cough, cough..." I almost choked on my own saliva.
What on earth does this guy want? He always mentions that day. However, when I think about the feeling of risking everything at that time, I suddenly feel a sense of heroism.
That's right, Ming Cha Cha, you are not a shy girl at all . You dared to confess to Senior An before, why did you become different after arriving at Jono College? At most, you just treat those who get in your way as pumpkins!
When I thought about it this way, all the sadness, unbearableness, fear and inferiority in my heart suddenly disappeared like a puff of smoke blown away by the wind!
"Rainbow!" At this moment, Ayano Yu suddenly raised his head and said in surprise.
It turned out that at some point, the heavy rain had stopped, and the dark clouds in the sky had all disappeared. The lovely sun poked its head out, and a beautiful rainbow stretched across the sea, like a bridge connecting to the kingdom of the sky, which made people feel many bubbles of yearning in their hearts.
That’s right, no matter when, as long as you don’t give up, there will always be a moment when you see the rainbow!
"Thank you!" I turned to Ayano Yu and gave him a sincere smile.
He was stunned for a long time before he turned his eyes away: "Ming Cha Cha, it's against the rules to laugh like this..."
the next day.
The sea breeze blew gently, carrying a soothing salty scent into my nose. I tightened the straps of my schoolbag and felt my heart pounding.
After the rain stopped yesterday, Ayano Yu and I returned to the beach house. Everyone had left, and only Senior Dongyun was waiting for me. He patted his chest and promised that today's rehearsal would continue.
"Ming Cha Cha, you can do it!" I took a deep breath. No matter how serious the fight was yesterday, I couldn't always rely on Ayano Yu to solve it!
I pushed open the door, and as expected, as soon as I appeared, countless murderous looks were cast towards me. Not only the girls from the fan club, but also the members of the drama club looked at me with dissatisfaction.
Yamazaki Yuri was also there, and she was talking intensely with Senior Shinonome.
"No , I don't agree!" Senior Dongyun was still dressed as exaggeratedly as he was yesterday, but there were two big dark circles under his beautiful eyes. He rejected her proposal straightforwardly.
There was another tall figure standing next to him, he stood aside with his hands on his shoulders, his dark brows furrowed... Unexpectedly, Senior An was here today too!
When Senior An saw me, he pulled the corner of his mouth helplessly and said, "Cha Cha, we are discussing the role allocation. You should come and listen."
Role Assignments?
Yamazaki Yuri put her hands on her hips proudly and said, "Senior An, everyone saw how bad Ming Chacha's performance was yesterday. She will only mess up the whole show!"
What on earth is this girl thinking about all day long...
"No!" Senior Dongyun suddenly got angry, "I won't agree! If you want to replace Chacha, I won't play the leading role!"
"Ah Xun!" This time, even Senior An couldn't help but speak up, "How can you be so willful?"
He looked at me apologetically, his gentle and handsome face showing determination: "We all know how important tomorrow's International Awards is. How much effort you put into it? It's because of this that we voted for Yamazaki-san to be the heroine!"
I stared at him blankly. For the first time, I felt that although Senior An was gentle, he also had a cruel side.
Senior An pushed his glasses and said, "Although I was not there yesterday, everyone had similar opinions, so we should change the heroine..."
"Yes, my hand injury is much better." Yamazaki Yuri looked at me proudly and stretched out his hand and shook it.
Sure enough, her hand, which was wrapped like a dumpling yesterday, now has only a band-aid on the back of her hand... In fact, she is just pretending to be seriously injured!
The bet between her and I has already failed miserably before it even started...
I don't know why, but suddenly, the image of Ayano Yu flashed through my mind, and I couldn't help but speak out -
"Wait a moment!"
In an instant, there was silence all around and everyone turned their eyes to me.
I mustered up my courage and tried to look everyone in the face, showing a determined smile: "Yesterday was all my fault, I'm sorry, but, but please give me another chance, I will prove myself!"
Unexpectedly, I was just trying it out, but it turned out to be successful!
I don't know why, except for the girls from the fan club who were still glaring at me unwillingly, the others surprisingly didn't object. However, they had no right to interfere with the decision of the drama club.
"Ming Cha Cha, don't think that everyone will go easy on you!" Yamazaki Yuri looked at me viciously, her beautiful cheeks twisted into a ball.
I didn't bother to pay attention to her, took a deep breath and closed my eyes.
Mingchacha, you can do it!
Ayano Yu's lazy smile appeared before my eyes again, and his thin lips seemed to open and close in my mind. I spoke the lines seriously, as if I was acting with him across time and space, as if I had entered another world.
Time passed minute by minute, and gradually, the room, which was originally somewhat noisy, became extremely silent.
"Goodbye, my love..." I said the last line, closed my eyes, and waited for the moment to disappear after the kiss.
At this moment, I felt like I had become the angel who sacrificed herself for her lover, immersed in the contradictory mixture of sorrow and happiness.
Three seconds later.
No one spoke.
"Uh..." I suddenly came back to my senses from my fantasy and looked at Senior Dongyun opposite me awkwardly. He looked straight at me with a dull expression on his handsome face.
What’s going on…is it still that bad?
I couldn't help but feel uneasy, and it felt like there was a little rabbit in my heart, jumping up and down non-stop.
“Pah, pah, pah!”
Suddenly, crisp applause rang out. I subconsciously looked over and found that it was Senior An who was clapping. He pushed his glasses on his face and said appreciatively, "Not bad, Cha Cha."
"Great!" At this time, Senior Dongyun also came back to his senses. He excitedly jumped to my side and patted my shoulder vigorously, "Tomorrow's international awards, the best actress must be you!"
I raised my head, turned around, and looked carefully at the handsome and gentle face of Senior An. His expression was full of sincere praise, and his familiar beautiful mouth had a slight smile, and his eyes were looking at me warmly.
But I don’t know why, my heart is filled with the shadow of another person.
Ayano Yu, I did it!
