Chapter 283 - Magnificently Attired Little Beauty~
"Do I really disgust you that much""Obviously," Zhao Yanzi pursed her lips."Well, I feel the same way. With your nasty attitude and ugly looks, whoever marries you is doomed for life," Hao Ren said ca...Chapter 283: Dazzling Little Beauty~~
, the timing was right, and we saw Jian Luo Ying approaching them to persuade them ※
"Mm-hmm!" Xie Yujia nodded her head and then turned around to look at the photo of her previous self in the display window before heading into the performance hall.
It was evident that she missed her high school days very much.
During those times, it was also when she was most peaceful and nostalgic for Hao Ren.
Her understanding of feelings gradually became clearer, and her longing for her little brother grew deeper.
In the performance hall, students and parents were already seated, creating a lively atmosphere similar to the few minutes before a movie starts.
The stage had been set up, and participants in the performance were doing their final preparations backstage.
Hao Ren didn't see Zhao Guang and Zhao Hongyu; under such a noisy environment, he could only sit with Xie Yujia and Luo Ying.
Lighting and music were all ready to go.
The entire performance hall, filled to capacity, slowly quieted down.
With a light ballet dance as the opening act, the drama officially began.
Hao Ren wasn't very familiar with Western plays; instead, he often watched TV channels featuring classic Chinese operas alongside his grandmother and knew quite a bit about them.
The spotlighted stage featured many students playing aristocrats at a ball scene, gracefully dancing.
As the music deepened, Zhao Yanzǐ, dressed in her elegant attire, slowly walked onto the central part of the stage from its right side.
She wore the set of dress and gown that Hao Ren had bought for her. With her beautifully made-up face, she instantly captivated everyone upon her entrance!
"So beautiful,"
Sitting Huo Ren immediately heard several boys behind him couldn’t help but praise.
Very soon, a male student in Western formal attire, representing the main character Romeo, held a wine glass and slowly entered from the left side of the stage.
Huo Ren widened his eyes and carefully observed this boy. He found that although the boy’s appearance was decent, he wasn’t particularly handsome.
"Originally, the role of Romeo was assigned to a new transfer student in second year high school named Zeng Yitao, but recently he has been skipping classes for several days in a row, so we had to replace him temporarily. Moreover, it seems that this Zeng Yitao has also processed his withdrawal from school," Luo Ying casually mentioned.
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was attentive. Huo Ren now understood why Zhao Yanzi felt so relieved and happy when she learned that Zeng Yitao was detained in the Dragon Palace of the Eastern Sea.
"Tonight, it seems like the moon is particularly lonely," Zhao Yanzi仰起頭，望著上空，說道。in the center of the stage said.
Near her collar, there was a small microphone attached to her, and her clear voice spread throughout every corner of the auditorium.
From her tone, Huo Ren could tell that she was still slightly nervous.
"Madam," said the boy playing Romeo as he walked toward Zhao Yanzi, muttering to himself, "you have such a beautiful back."
The surrounding student actors slowly joined in, dancing in pairs and circling around them.
"It's a bit stiff," Luo Ying commented.
"Perhaps they didn’t have enough time to rehearse," Xie Yujia said.
"Yes. You guys spent an entire month rehearsing, and you were the most dedicated one among all of them." Luo Ying agreed.
While Luo Ying made comparisons in his heart, for both high school and middle school students, Zhao Yanzi's beauty could overshadow any shortcomings in her acting skills.
The performance continued. With Zhao Yanzi’s lazy personality, she was able to memorize such long passages of lines, which greatly surprised Huo Ren.
As the scene on the balcony ended, half of the performance had been completed, and a double-layer curtain slowly rose, signaling intermission.
The students were discussing how beautiful Zhao Yanzi looked today while heading out to use the restroom or buy drinks.
Hao Ren looked at his phone and found that an hour had passed. He suddenly realized that he, who had never been interested in Western drama before, was completely engrossed in Zhao Yanzǐ's performance for a whole hour!
He listened intently to every word of her dialogue, every expression, and even the change at the end of each phrase!
"She has only rehearsed for a week, but she really did a good job."
Xie Yujia smiled and said something that couldn't be clearly understood.
"Hehe, yes." Li Ying could only agree.
She had let Zhao Yanzǐ play the leading role just to train her, but she didn't expect her performance to be so good. Perhaps, it was all surface-level that Zhao Yanzǐ seemed indifferent and never tried hard before
"Since you both know Zhao Yanzǐ, why don’t you go backstage to see her" Luo Ying looked at Hao Ren and Xie Yujia.
"Sure!" Xie Yujia was enthusiastic. She immediately pulled Hao Ren along, heading for the backstage with ease.
Behind the curtain, some students were setting up the next scene. As they passed by them to reach the makeup artists at the back, Hao Ren and Xie Yujia happened to see a young teacher applying makeup to Zhao Yanzǐ again. Facing the mirror, when Zhao Yanzǐ saw Hao Ren first, she was delighted, but upon seeing Xie Yujia, her lips immediately curled.
It was precisely at that moment of frowning that the teacher who was doing her makeup made a mistake on her eyebrows and had to wipe it off and start over again.
"You really did well," Hao Ren said as he walked behind her.
"Of course." Zhao Yanzǐ answered softly, showing an indifferent attitude.
"Hey, isn’t this Rainia" The young teacher who was doing makeup for Zhao Yanzǐ suddenly became very excited upon seeing Xie Yujia.
"Teacher Liu," Xie Yujia smiled slightly.
"Hehe, you are getting more beautiful every day. Last time when you came to school, I happened not to be there. You haven't changed much since middle school except that your figure has become fuller! Back then in junior high, you were so thin!" The teacher looked at Xie Yujia with increasing delight.
"Teacher, I still have another scene later on!" Zhao Yanzǐ urged her while looking at Xie Yujia through the mirror.
Xie Yujia looks very pretty today. She is wearing a black-blue one-piece dress with a pink outerwear, looking simple and fashionable.
"Okay, okay! Let me do your makeup!" The young teacher quickly took out the cosmetic pen, bent down, and carefully applied makeup for Zhao Yanzi.
“I just came here to reminisce. I won't bother you with anything else!” Xie Yujia didn’t want to disturb the preparations going on backstage. She looked around this make-up room then left.
Hao Ren did not follow Xie Yujia out, but stayed in the make-up room, looking at Zhao Yanzi’s serious little face through the mirror.
After finishing applying makeup for Zhao Yanzi and checking for any flaws, the young teacher left the room. He probably went to catch up with Xie Yujia.
Zhao Yanzi turned her swivel chair around, facing Hao Ren, staring at him intently.
“Why Did you come to watch me perform and now you're unhappy” Hao Ren asked her looking at her.
"Did you really come to watch my performance, or did you come here with that someone" Zhao Yanzi retorted.
"Who is this 'that someone'" Hao Ren asked.
"I don't even want to call her name," Zhao Yanzi rolled her eyes at Hao Ren.
“Where are your parents Did they come” Hao Ren changed the topic and asked.
This time, another teacher walked into the make-up room, clapped his hands together and shouted, "The second half of the show has started! Hurry up and get ready to go on stage!"
“My parents are here. They're sitting in the second row and reserved a seat for you too!” Zhao Yanzi stood up, walked towards outside while throwing another glance at Hao Ren. “Hmph, seeing beauty but forgetting righteousness.”
Sawing beauty but forgetting righteousness
Who is she referring to as ‘beauty’ Hao Ren was dumbstruck in the make-up room.
