"It's almost time. Let's go in," Luo Ying said to them.
"Ok!" Xie Yujia nodded. She looked back at her old photos in the window and walked into the performance hall.
It was obvious that she missed her middle school days. That period of time was also the most peaceful and missed Hao Ren the most.
Her concept of love gradually became clearer, and she missed her Little Older Brother more and more.
In the performance hall, the students and their parents were all seated. The atmosphere was as lively as the beginning of a movie.
The stage was set up, and the students were doing their final preparations backstage.
Hao Ren didn't see Zhao Guang and Zhao Hongyu, so he could only sit with Xie Yujia and Luo Ying in the noisy environment.
The lights and music were all ready.
The packed performance hall slowly quieted down.
With a group of brisk ballet as the opening act, the play officially began.
Hao Ren wasn't familiar with these western plays. However, he knew some classical plays from China since he often watched drama channels with his grandma.
The lights focused on the stage, and there was a ball scene. Many students were playing the roles of nobles and dancing.
As the music went on, Zhao Yanzi slowly walked from the right side of the stage to the center.
She was wearing the dress and gown that Hao Ren bought for her. With the makeup on her exquisite face, she stunned the audience as soon as she walked on the stage.
"So beautiful …"
Hao Ren, who was sitting down, immediately heard the exclamations from the guys behind him.
Soon, a guy in a western suit walked onto the stage from the left side with a wine glass in his hand.
Hao Ren opened his eyes wide and looked at this guy carefully. She found that the boy's appearance was decent, but he really couldn't be considered handsome.
"The original candidate for Romeo was a new transfer student named Zeng Yitao. However, he skipped classes for a few days in a row, so he was replaced at the last minute. Also, this Zeng Yitao seems to have completed his withdrawal procedures," Luo Ying said casually.
The speaker didn't mean it, but the listener did. Hao Ren now understood why Zhao Yanzi was so happy when she heard that Zeng Yitao was imprisoned in the East Ocean Dragon Palace.
"It seems like the moon is very lonely tonight," Zhao Yanzi looked up at the sky and said in the center of the stage.
She had a mini microphone on her collar, and her crisp voice spread to every corner of the performance hall.
From her voice, Hao Ren could tell that she was a bit nervous.
"This lady … has such a beautiful back …" The guy who was playing Romeo walked to Zhao Yanzi and murmured to himself.
The student actors around them slowly cooperated with them. They danced social dance and surrounded them.
"It's a bit stiff," Luo Ying commented.
"Probably because we didn't have enough time to rehearse," Xie Yujia said.
"Yeah, you guys rehearsed for a whole month. You were the most serious one," Luo Ying agreed.
Luo Ying made a comparison in her mind. For the students, Zhao Yanzi's beauty made up for her lack of acting skills, no matter if they were from the High School Department or Middle School Department.
The performance went on, and Hao Ren was surprised that Zhao Yanzi could recite so many lines even though she was usually so lazy.
After the dialogue on the balcony ended, the show was halfway through. The double curtains were pulled up slowly, signaling the intermission.
The students talked about Zhao Yanzi's beautiful dress while they went to the washroom or bought drinks.
Hao Ren looked at his phone and found that an hour had passed. He suddenly realized that he had been immersed in Zhao Yanzi's performance for an entire hour even though he had never been interested in western dramas.
Listen carefully to every line, every expression, and even every change in the final syllable of her voice!
"You performed well after only one week of rehearsal," Xie Yujia exhaled deeply and stood up.
"Hehe, yeah." Luo Ying had to agree.
She had asked Zhao Yanzi to be the female lead because she wanted to train her, but she didn't expect her to be so good. Maybe she had thought that Zhao Yanzi was half-hearted and never worked hard.
"Since you both know Zhao Yanzi, why don't you go backstage and see her?" Luo Ying looked at Hao Ren and Xie Yujia and said.
"Ok!" Xie Yujia was excited. She dragged Hao Ren and ran backstage.
Behind the curtains, some students were setting up the scene. Hao Ren and Xie Yujia walked past them and saw a young teacher touching up Zhao Yanzi's makeup.
Zhao Yanzi was happy when she saw Hao Ren in the mirror. Then, she frowned when she saw Xie Yujia.
The moment she frowned, the makeup teacher made her eyebrows crooked, and she had to redraw them.
"You did a good job," Hao Ren said as he walked behind her.
"Of course," Zhao Yanzi answered in a low voice, looking indifferent.
"Hey, Yujia!" The young teacher who was doing Zhao Yanzi's makeup was pleasantly surprised when she saw Xie Yujia.
"Ms. Liu." Xie Yujia smiled faintly.
"Hehe, you are getting prettier. I wasn't in school the last time you came. You haven't changed much since you were in middle school. You were skinny in middle school! "The more the teacher looked at Xie Yujia, the happier she was.
"Ms. Liu, I still have a show!" Zhao Yanzi looked at Xie Yujia in the mirror and urged her.
Xie Yujia was dressed beautifully today. She was wearing a dark blue dress and a pink jacket, simple and fashionable.
"Ok, ok, ok. I'll do your makeup first!" The young teacher bent down and put the makeup pen on Zhao Yanzi.
"I'm just here to reminisce. It's nothing. Ms. Liu, go ahead!" Xie Yujia didn't want to disturb the preparation backstage. She looked around the dressing room and left.
Hao Ren didn't follow Xie Yujia out. Instead, he stayed in the dressing room and looked at Zhao Yanzi in the mirror with a straight face.
After the young teacher finished putting on Zhao Yanzi's makeup, she checked that there were no flaws and left the dressing room. She was probably going to catch up with Xie Yujia.
Zhao Yanzi turned the swivel chair to face Hao Ren and stared at him.
"What? You're not happy to watch your performance?" Hao Ren looked at her and asked.
"Are you here to watch my performance or to accompany someone else?" Zhao Yanzi asked tit for tat.
"That person?" Hao Ren asked.
"I don't even want to call her name." Zhao Yanzi rolled her eyes at Hao Ren.
"Where are your parents? Are they here?" Hao Ren changed the topic and asked her.
At this moment, another teacher walked into the dressing room, clapped her hands, and yelled, "The second half is starting. Hurry up and get on the stage!"
"My parents are here. They are sitting in the second row. They even saved a seat for you! " Zhao Yanzi stood up and walked out. She rolled her eyes at Hao Ren and said, "Humph! Forget your friends!"
"Forget your friends?"
"This … Who's the pervert …" Hao Ren froze in the dressing room.
