Ch 257: The Stage Actor

Eric sighed helplessly; he hadn’t planned on performing in any shows, and he was prepared for the Sleeping Beauty story to have just one more tree.

But Jian Ni kept persuading him, and being too busy, he had no choice but to agree.

And agreeing meant being the Prince.

When he heard about the play again, the props had already been given to Rui Bu Si, who had hidden them and declared solemnly that even the Student Council President couldn’t arbitrarily use their privileges.

“You guys really…” Meeting Wu Ke Na Na’s expectant and teasing gaze, Eric sighed, “Alright, I’ll play the Prince well.”

Since he had already prepared to participate, he naturally had to do his best.

However, the classmates each had their own things to do, and Snow White’s costume hadn’t been altered yet, so their first rehearsal time hadn’t been set yet.

It’s worth mentioning that most of the classmates performing in this play had the same thoughts as him, and the rehearsals after they agreed on the time went very smoothly.

In stark contrast to the other group.

“Agnes, would you consider coming over to our side?” During a break, Jian Ni ran to the neighboring venue, radiating the light and warmth of poaching.

——The main purpose of coming over was Wu La La.

However, Wu La La went to Ya Ya’s side and didn’t have time to pay attention to him.

Looking at the classmates around her who seemed to be working hard on the surface, but actually started slacking off as soon as she left: “No.”

“Why?”

“I like things that are challenging, and,” she paused for two seconds, lowered her voice, and rarely showed a smile during rehearsal time, “it’s very interesting to perform in a play with friends.”

“Wow—you just, smiled!”

The smile disappeared: “Can’t I smile?”

“Of course not,” Jian Ni quickly shook his head, “I just found it amazing. Since I’ve known you, I’ve never seen you smile.”

“That’s because you only have your love~life in your heart, nothing else.” Rui Bu Si came over, practically hanging on Agnes, “Agnes~, this isn’t fair, why do I have so many lines, I have to play the Witch, can I give the wicked witch to someone else?”

“No.” A refusal without any room for negotiation.

“So what,” Jian Ni didn’t care about others’ evaluation of him, “It shows that I care about Wu La La. Look, Wu La La and Wu Ke Na Na, Mi Ya Xing are rehearsing together, Wu La La has time to come and see you guys, but Mi Ya Xing doesn’t.”

“Hey hey hey, Jian Ni, it’s not good to talk bad about me when I’m not around, right?”

Lie Yan Jian Ni’s easily triggered passive skill: hearing bad things said about oneself.

It can also be abbreviated to unlucky guy.

“I wasn’t talking bad about you, what I said is the truth!”

“Don’t listen to Jian Ni’s nonsense, I need to revise the score, I don’t have much free time, I come over whenever I have some time.”

He felt a little guilty when he said this.

Because he didn’t come to see Rui Bu Si specifically.

He only came to notify his fellow performers that the score had been revised.

“No, it’s okay if you don’t come.” Coming over had no other effect than to cause a commotion.

Observing from the sidelines, Jian Ni exaggeratedly shook his head and sighed: “Wu La La and I still have a better relationship.”

Rui Bu Si ruthlessly exposed him: “Why would Wu La La come to see you run over here? She’s been discussing new biscuits with Ya Ya.”

Agnes didn’t understand: “How old are you guys, to be competing over this kind of thing?”

“You don’t have a boyfriend, you wouldn’t understand.”

Agnes couldn’t understand the sense of superiority Jian Ni displayed in this inexplicable matter.

People who have been wanting to date but haven’t been able to, and finally managed to date someone, are usually like this.

“Agnes isn’t planning on dating anyone? There are quite a few excellent guys here~” Mi Ya Xing suddenly became interested, “Look, Flame King, a super excellent Meng Warrior Captain…”

“No.”

“Then there’s Ji Mi?”

“No.”

“And…”

“I’m not dating.”

“Oh~ You don’t like guys, right? There are also quite a few female classmates here, such as…”

“Such as the one next to me, I think she’s pretty good.”

“Eh?”

“Really? Prince Agnes.” Rui Bu Si still maintained her half-hanging position on Agnes, she tilted her head slightly, reached out and hooked Agnes’ chin.

Her gaze was deep and affectionate:

“Oh, Prince Agnes, actually, I’ve long been deeply in love with you, let go of the useless princess who only sleeps after suffering a little curse, being with me is true happiness.”

“Witch, actually, I…”

“Hey hey, okay okay,” Mi Ya Xing pleaded for mercy, “Spare me, I won’t tease you anymore.”

Rui Bu Si got an inspiration: “Agnes, let’s change the script!”

And prepared to put the inspiration into practice.

“No.” As always, Agnes rejected her whim decisively.

With the school anniversary approaching, and the Magic Proficiency Exam just over, the students didn’t have the energy to listen to lectures, so the school postponed the classes. Busy teachers were extremely busy, while teachers who weren’t busy either celebrated the school anniversary with the students or enjoyed their holidays.

A Lu Ai Ta was happy to relax in her office.

Occasionally watching Pa Hua Luo Di’s busy and flustered state.

“Principal Ous has been gone to the Council of Elders for a long time, and he hasn’t come back yet.” She leisurely took a sip of freshly brewed tea, the tea leaves were a friendly offering from Pa Hua Luo Di.

Pa Hua Luo Di glared at her, but unfortunately, A Lu Ai Ta didn’t look up.

“According to custom, the principal should be back soon. It’s said that he discovered the Dark General who killed his wife and children years ago and chased after him.”

Mentioning that past, Pa Hua Luo Di’s face showed fatigue and regret, but then it quickly disappeared and was replaced by a new expression: “Aren’t you too relaxed?”

He was used to the Meng Academy Headmaster being absent from the office for long periods, it had been like this for so many years.

But in previous years, no one could sit next to him and drink tea so peacefully when he was at his busiest.

And the tea was even from him!

“I can’t help it, I’m not a director, and I just happened to have a good boss. The Headmaster of Bei Meng heard that I was teaching the entire school’s History of Magic by myself, so he gave me a year’s vacation.”

In other words, she didn’t have any students to teach at Bei Meng this year.

The students who hadn’t graduated were entrusted to other reliable teachers, and naturally, last year there was a student who wanted to extend their studies, in order to reduce her burden, the school gave her some leeway, and now he has graduated successfully.

Coincidentally, Ous Gaida didn’t assign her any tasks besides teaching because she still had students to take care of at Bei Meng.

So now she was the most…well, relaxed person in the busy campus, just like Wu Yan.

Pa Hua Luo Di clenched his fists.

“Doesn’t Silent Nurse want to play with everyone? Teacher Da Tiantian and Head Nurse Xu Xingchun get along very well with the students.”

Helping Director Pa run errands and carrying a large pile of documents, Wu Yan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: “No, Teacher A Lu Ai Ta, I…I don’t like crowds.”

The Council of Elders had issued an announcement, without punishing him, allowing him to stay at Meng Academy.

He did such a thing, the students must…even if the students accepted him, he couldn’t be at ease doing nothing.

For several days, the office had this three-person situation, and one day A Lu Ai Ta changed to new tea—this time it was scavenged from Principal Ous Gaida’s office.

She didn’t know where Ous Gaida usually kept his tea leaves, she rarely went to the principal’s office.

But Pa Hua Luo Di knew.

Should she take advantage of this free time to go back to Bei Meng?

It wouldn’t hurt to visit Quake Star as well.

She glanced at the busy Pa Hua Luo Di and Wu Yan who was helping Pa Hua Luo Di.

Was there any way to leave without reporting it, just saying that she was leaving directly? Writing a report was too troublesome, and now she didn’t have any students to help her write it.

A figure broke the quietness of the past few days: “Director Pa…Oh, and Teacher A Lu Ai Ta and Silent Nurse, hello everyone.”

Rui Bu Si happily slid in: “Does Silent Nurse like the story of Snow White?”

A fairy tale from the human world, could this be a chance for him to become friendly with his classmates again?

After Pa Hua Luo Di’s encouraging gaze, Wu Yan nodded: “I like it very much.”

“That’s good, then does Silent Nurse like Snow White, or the dwarfs?”

Answering that they both liked them should be fine, right?

“I like…”

He heard Rui Bu Si muttering softly: “If it’s Snow White, the clothes seem to need to be changed, but even if it’s a dwarf, it seems to need to be changed, Wu Yan seems to be more suitable for Snow White’s clothes…”

“I like the dwarfs!”

“Eh?” Rui Bu Si was a little disappointed, “Then we still need a Snow White.”

She spotted a new target: “Oh, Teacher A Lu Ai Ta…”

“I remembered that there’s a student who needs to extend their studies at Bei Meng who needs me to go there.” A Lu Ai Ta stood up, under Pa Hua Luo Di’s incredulous gaze, “It’s urgent, I have to leave today, and I won’t be back after the school anniversary.”

She didn’t want to perform on stage!

“Alright, what a pity.” Looking around the office, then looking back, “When a poor student needs the teacher’s help, Director Pa certainly won’t refuse, right?”

Pa Hua Luo Di: ?
