Chapter 334: Chapter 334: The Finale
“Having no lines is actually more relaxing, and it saves me from memorizing them. As for the chest-beating motion, I don’t necessarily have to perform it the way she wrote it; I’ll change it up when we’re on stage.” Luo Mengmeng was not only open-minded but also seemed blissfully unconcerned.
In just a few days, they had almost finished rehearsing the play.
And the props had also arrived.
“Everyone, come over here and pick up your props and costumes,” Xu Wenting called everyone over.
Luo Mengmeng and Gu Zhihan also walked up.
Luo Mengmeng received a hideous brown bear costume that hung loose on her, and she couldn’t help but feel a bit repulsed.
Glancing at Xu Wenting, who was wearing a beautifully crafted princess dress, looking like a real princess, her cheeks instantly puffed up.
Indeed, you don’t know the harm until there’s a comparison.
Gu Zhihan, who was behind her, zipping up the bear costume for the young girl, noticed her displeasure and couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong?”
Luo Mengmeng pouted and pointed at her outfit, “Do I look ugly in this?”
Gu Zhihan immediately shook his head, “Not at all, it looks really nice.”
After hearing this, Luo Mengmeng was delighted, but she couldn’t help asking further, “But do you think Xu Wenting looks prettier, or do I?”
Gu Zhihan didn’t even think before answering, “There’s no comparison between you two… naturally, you’re prettier.”
“But she looks so pretty in that dress, are you sure I look better than her right now?” Although his answer made Luo Mengmeng very satisfied, deep down, she still yearned to hear more of his compliments.
“Her costume might be prettier than yours, but your face is many times more beautiful than hers,” Gu Zhihan said as he pinched the young girl’s cute cheek.
Luo Mengmeng finally felt satisfied, showing him a sweet smile and praising him, “You really have a good eye!”
Gu Zhihan slightly twitched the corners of his lips.
Now she doesn’t know what modesty is at all.
Just then, Xu Wenting glanced at everyone and spoke again softly, “Are everyone’s costumes fitting well? If there’s any issue, please tell me, and I’ll ask the manufacturer to make adjustments.”
“If there are no problems, then let’s continue with our rehearsal!”
After a few days of rehearsal in their prop costumes, they finally welcomed the National Day Cultural Evening.
When drawing lots, Gu Zhihan drew the penultimate act, meaning their play would be the second last to perform.
“Class leader, you really have good luck, drawing the penultimate act. This way, we still have time to memorize our lines,” Xu Wenting started a conversation in the backstage makeup room, looking at Gu Zhihan with a smile, “Class leader, would you mind if we go over our lines again?”
Gu Zhihan, speechless, retorted sarcastically, “Are you an idiot or just foolish? We only have a few lines; do we really need to go over them again and again?”
“I… I’m just worried we might forget,” Xu Wenting stammered in her defense, almost crying from his harsh words.
“You only need to worry about yourself,” Gu Zhihan said coldly.
But when he turned to look at the girl next to him in the ugly bear costume, his expression instantly softened, and his tone became gentle, “We’re about to go on stage, are you nervous?”
As he spoke, he reached out to touch Luo Mengmeng’s head.
“Not nervous,” Luo Mengmeng smiled and shook her head, then clasped his hand tightly with her small hand, “As long as you’re here, I’m not nervous or scared, whether it’s performing at school or in front of tens of thousands of people.”
