Finally, after Shen Linyue's unreasonable demands, Jiang Zhixing agreed to let her audition for the role of the new emperor.
But it has to be recorded, and then the whole class has to vote. If half of the students support her, then the role is hers; otherwise, she can't play it.
Shen Linyue readily accepted, and then pondered where to find a makeup artist to stylist her and dazzle everyone.
At first, she just wanted to prevent He Xiao from having too much contact with the female lead. Now, she's just curious and wants to try it out. When people are in a repressive environment, how can they not go crazy?
She just wants to go a little crazy right now, and the new emperor's character is just that—crazy. Hehe.
Just take it as a way to relax.
When Shen Linyue returned to her seat with a smile, He Xiao became wary, frowning as he looked her over a few times: "Jiang Zhixing didn't reject you?"
Shen Linyue looked over and met He Xiao's gaze: "Well, since you don't want to act anyway, I read the script and liked it, so I'll give it a try."
He Xiao: ...
"You're not normal." Ever since leaving Jiang Yanxin's place, Lin Yue has given him a strange feeling, though he can't quite put his finger on it. She's just not as naive and innocent as before.
Shen Linyue glanced at him indifferently, "Did you hide that script from me and not let me see it?"
She remembered again and wanted to settle accounts with He Xiao.
He Xiao coughed lightly and looked away from her gaze: "Oh, I didn't hide it. I just thought it was waste paper on my desk and threw it away."
Shen Linyue snorted and didn't pursue the matter further. She only said, "This matter is still far from settled. By the way, if you dare to secretly do something to get rid of my role, I will break off all ties with you."
If this role isn't finalized, Jiang Zhixing will definitely keep harassing He Xiao. So, to give He Xiao some peace and quiet, let her bear all of this.
"...Boring. I'm not Jiang Zhixing, why would I do something so underhanded?" He Xiao sneered, though he was actually feeling guilty.
How does Lin Yue know everything?! He had just started thinking about it when she warned him! How annoying.
Shen Linyue nodded seriously: "Focus on your studies. Adult matters are none of a child's business."
He Xiao: ...
Nonsense, don't they know who's older? Just because someone is of a higher generation doesn't mean they're superior?
...
One day after class, Shen Linyue told Su Xiao about this while they were going to the restroom together.
Su Xiao was excited, but then worried: "Yueyue, this role has a lot of action scenes and requires wire work, maybe we should just give up?"
She was worried that Lin Yue's small frame wouldn't be able to handle it.
Shen Linyue thought for a moment, then her eyes lit up even more: "There are wires too? Won't that mean flying around? That would be even more awesome."
Su Xiao: ...
"Actually, I just want to act with you. Don't you want to?" Shen Linyue's eyes were full of affection, even when she looked at a dog.
Who told the male lead to change the script without permission! She only planned to test why Jiang Zhixing refused to act, and then advise Su Xiao to be careful during the performance. But the male lead changed the script, and her highlight scenes were cut just like that. Haha.
I wonder if the male lead will regret it later. Shen Linyue sneered inwardly.
Su Xiao blushed slightly upon hearing this and said, touched, "Yueyue, how can you be so kind?"
Shen Linyue smiled and patted her head: "Let's work together to make sure everyone has an unforgettable school anniversary."
Su Xiao nodded: "I will, I definitely won't hold Yueyue back!"
"Yes, let's cheer each other on!"
...
The day passed slowly, and as school was about to end, He Xiao, who had been diligently reading, collapsed onto his desk, unable to get up.
Even her voice sounded weak and listless: "I'll definitely get a score that will impress you tomorrow."
Hearing the noise, Shen Linyue glanced at him and nodded in agreement: "Yes, you will. Memorize these poems again. You can't let your Chinese score drag you down."
He Xiao's narrow eyes widened. "You could have just taken my life, but you chose to make me suffer the pain of studying! You're vicious!"
Shen Linyue smiled and said, "You promised yourself that you would study hard, but it's too late to regret it now."
"When did I agree to study with you?" He Xiao glared at him. "I just wanted to improve by one or two places, but I didn't agree to that. Stop talking nonsense."
Shen Linyue's smile faded, and after calmly looking at him for a few seconds, she ignored He Xiao.
He Xiao: ?
Did I say something wrong? I certainly didn't!
After a while, He Xiao resignedly poked Shen Linyue's arm with his Chinese textbook, "I only agreed to let you study for one day. Don't even think about me studying again tomorrow!"
Speaking harsh words in the gentlest tone, Shen Linyue was amused.
"Okay, we can talk about tomorrow's things tomorrow. Do you need me to help you memorize it?"
He Xiao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her smile.
Hmph, if she hadn't been wronged the day before yesterday, he wouldn't have been so obedient!
Even after staying up until the end of evening classes, He Xiao, who was usually full of energy, was listless, and even his short hair looked as droopy as its owner.
Shen Linyue watched for a while, then tiptoed and moved her head up to him: "Ah Xiao was really great today!"
Several teachers praised He Xiao for his diligent study during the day, and she was right; he really was excellent.
He Xiao glanced at her lazily: "I'm completely exhausted. I need to go home and sleep to recharge."
Shen Linyue smiled and said, "Alright, let's go back then."
The smile on her face vanished again when she thought of He Liyu.
I wonder what he's been busy with. He's been away on a business trip for several days. Shouldn't he be back by now?
I called him yesterday, but he didn't answer. I'm a little disappointed.
...
After returning home and eating what the housekeeper had prepared, Shen Linyue decided to go back to sleep, not even in the mood to watch the TV series she had been watching recently.
The housekeeper was worried when he saw that she seemed preoccupied.
"Miss Lin Yue, are you in a bad mood?"
Shen Linyue stopped in her tracks, looked at the butler and smiled slightly: "Why do you ask that?"
After a moment's hesitation, the butler replied, "You ate one less piece of cake today, and you didn't touch the pudding or ice cream much either. Oh, and you haven't watched TV in the last two days either."
Shaw paused for a moment: "If anything happens, you can tell me, and I will try my best to help you resolve it."
Shen Linyue was stunned. Was it obvious that she was in a bad mood?
However, she did have something she wanted to ask the housekeeper: "How many years have you worked here?"
Uncle Xiao didn't expect Miss Lin Yue to ask this, but he still answered seriously: "It's been more than six years. I've been here ever since you bought the house here, sir."
Shen Linyue's long eyelashes trembled slightly: "Didn't He Liyu live here before?"
“Sir owns many properties, but I only know that he has lived here for six years.” The butler shook his head.
"Oh, then you probably haven't met my sister either, have you?" she said dejectedly.
The butler was stunned for a few seconds before coming to his senses. So Miss Lin Yue was in a bad mood because she missed Madam?
Unfortunately, he didn't know much about the original mistress of the He family.
“I’m sorry, Miss Lin Yue, I really don’t know that.” The butler hesitated for a moment and then said, “The master has always been very reluctant to mention the madam. In the past, when someone talked behind the master’s back about the madam, the master heard it and was eventually fired.”
