Chapter 18 Cinderella Poor Cinderella, she'll still be treated like this when she gets back...
During the afternoon class meeting, the homeroom teacher announced that the second-year students would be performing at the welcome party, and their class had been chosen to perform a stage play.
As for what to perform, that will be decided by a class vote. Everyone will take out a piece of paper and write down the plays they are interested in.
The system reminded Wen Han, who had casually written a "Journey to the West," that "Host, there are many short stories in Journey to the West. You should write more specific ones."
Fang Songxia turned her head and saw that Wen Han had written "Three Battles with the White Bone Demon".
He whispered, "You want to play Sun Wukong?"
Wen Han rolled his eyes: "If you want to act, go ahead. I just wrote whatever came to mind." He glanced at Fang Songxia's desktop and saw that this person had written Cinderella.
"Cinderella? I didn't realize that," Wen Han said with a grin. "Someone has such a fairytale heart."
"Shh." Fang Songxia nervously pointed to her motionless deskmate next to her and mouthed, "I copied from him."
Wen Han: "......"
Jingyu wrote the kind of thing that seemed boring at first glance and definitely wouldn't be selected.
After the class monitor finished tallying the results, he found that Cinderella was the most popular character, while The Little Match Girl was eliminated because there were too few characters in the story.
"Okay," the homeroom teacher said with a smile, "Is there anyone who wants to play Cinderella?"
The classmates unanimously recommended Wen Ruan and started teasing her. Wen Ruan's face quickly turned as red as a strawberry, and she lowered her head in embarrassment.
Gaga gaga.
Wen Han said to Jing Yu with schadenfreude, "Gu Cheng must be furious. If he were in our class, he would definitely be clamoring to be a prince."
The homeroom teacher adjusted his glasses: "Okay, what other characters are in Cinderella?"
The squad leader raised his hand: "There's also the wicked stepsister and the wicked stepmother, the prince, the fairy godmother, and the soldier."
"So many people," the homeroom teacher muttered. "Okay, which student would like to play Cinderella's stepsister?"
Wen Han was still having a good time when she noticed many students turning around and staring at her. Zhang Huihui shouted, "Teacher, Wen Han should play the role. He's the only one who can do it!"
Wen Han: "?"
Fang Songxia couldn't help but burst into laughter, letting out a "quack" like a duck having its neck stretched out, which immediately caused a burst of joyful laughter in the class.
The homeroom teacher, still unaware of the situation, laughed and said, "Oh, Wen Han happens to be Wen Ruan's brother, right? Then you can play the role."
Yang Lanjun gritted her teeth. Wen Ruan played Cinderella, and she really wanted to play the villainous older sister, but the role was played by Wen Han instead. How infuriating!
"Okay, which student will play the prince?"
Naturally, the role of the prince had to be played by a good-looking Alpha, and many classmates chose Jing Yu. Jing Yu shook her head: "I can't dance."
One of Wenruan's suitors in the class raised his hand: "Teacher, I can dance the waltz."
Warrior, Wen Han knows he's still an Alpha, and she's bound to get caught up in Gu Cheng's jealousy.
With get out of class about to end, the homeroom teacher entrusted the important task of selecting students to the class monitor.
After class, the class monitor went straight to Jingyu's desk: "Jingyu, you can learn dance! Your appearance will definitely make our class stand out!"
Jing Yu smiled and declined, while Wen Ruan's suitor chimed in eagerly, "Me, me!"
"Uh..." The class monitor's eyes lit up again when he saw Fang Songxia. "Fang Songxia, how about you—"
Before he could finish speaking, Wen Han interrupted him, whispering, "Do you want him to be killed by Gu Cheng?!"
The class monitor also lowered his voice quietly: "That's why I didn't choose Zhao Minyue, precisely because I knew that."
Zhao Minyue was Wen Ruan's suitor. He was good-looking and an Alpha, which perfectly matched Gu Cheng's type.
The class monitor circled around, then walked up to Yang Lanjun's desk with a forced smile: "Yang Lanjun, why don't you play the prince? You're an Omega anyway, playing Prince Gu Cheng wouldn't be a problem—"
With just a glance from Yang Lanjun, the class monitor jumped back three feet.
"I was wrong, please calm down."
Yang Lanjun called out to him, "I want to play the stepmother."
In the end, after all the twists and turns, the role of the prince still fell to Zhao Minyue. Seeing his overjoyed and silly appearance, Wen Han could only light a candle for him in her heart.
——
The homeroom teacher asked the students who were going to perform to rehearse outside during the third period of evening self-study.
Yang Lanjun glanced at the script and grabbed the class monitor with dissatisfaction: "What kind of lousy script did you write? It's not satisfying at all. Do you think this is a game?"
The class monitor stammered, "Uh... I think it should be more positive—of course, you can change it if you want!"
Yang Lanjun waved her hand: "Daughter, let's go practice our lines over there."
Wen Han: "......"
Wen Han's understanding of Gu Cheng was quite accurate. Sure enough, when he heard that Wen Ruan was going to play Cinderella, this good-for-nothing skipped class to come and watch their rehearsal.
Bathed in moonlight, Wen Ruan's pale skin seemed to glow. Gu Cheng lit a cigarette and leaned against the wall, hiding in the darkness, with only the red flame flickering. When Wen Ruan saw him, her heart skipped a beat, and she turned her head away.
Seeing this, Yang Lanjun's teeth ached from clenching. Wen Han, who was reviewing her lines, suddenly smelled smoke and yelled, "Which Debbie is smoking?"
The voice was strong and clear, and the students who were discussing fell silent. Seeing that they were all quiet, Wen Han asked in surprise, "Is there something wrong with my nose?"
Yang Lanjun calmly said, "You smelled it wrong."
Wen Ruan quickly went to Gu Cheng's side: "Everyone is rehearsing, you shouldn't smoke, it's bad for your health."
Gu Cheng chuckled.
......
Yang Lanjun whispered, "That was Gu Cheng just now."
"Huh?" Wen Han spat. "I knew it." Who else could be so rude?
The class monitor asked everyone to read their lines once first. Yang Lanjun proudly raised her head and entered the room, arm in arm with Wen Han.
"System, look, Yang Lanjun's acting is actually quite convincing," Wen Han remarked. "I think if she just holds back a bit, her acting will really shine."
"...Host, you just need to tone it down a bit."
"Cinderella, what are you still standing there for?" Before anyone could react, Yang Lanjun said sternly, "You're slacking off when I'm not watching you. Hurry up and bring up breakfast, or do you want your sister to starve to death?"
Wow, Wen Han quickly said her line: "Mom, you're right, I'm starving."
Wen Ruan brought over a piece of paper, which was "breakfast". Wen Han pretended to take a bite and frowned: "This tomato is too sour."
Yang Lanjun ripped the paper off: "Are you trying to make your sister sick with sourness? Take it down and redo it!"
Wen Ruan picked up the paper and went back into the room.
Wen Han took another bite: "This tomato is too sweet, it's making my teeth hurt."
These lines are hilarious! Wen Han gave the class monitor a disgusted look.
Yang Lanjun threw the paper at Wen Ruan: "Do you want to hurt your sister to death?"
Wen Han stood up, clutching her teeth: "Ouch, ouch, Mom, Cinderella must have done it on purpose!"
Wen Ruan said, "I didn't! You can't treat me like this!"
Yang Lanjun, hands on hips, said, "Hmph, don't forget your place. You're just a servant; you have to do whatever we tell you to do—"
Before she could finish speaking, Gu Cheng rushed out to protect Wen Ruan and coldly said to Yang Lanjun, "Get out."
Yang Lanjun froze on the spot. Seeing that she was dumbfounded, Wen Han could only confront Gu Cheng herself: "Are you sick? This is just a line. He has a kissing scene later. If you can't stand it, then don't watch it. Why are you getting so angry?"
Yang Lanjun threw the script on the ground and ran back to the classroom.
When the homeroom teacher saw her quickly walk to her seat, she was startled and asked her what had happened, but Yang Lanjun refused to say.
*
"That's bad." Wen Han guessed that Yang Lanjun definitely didn't want to act anymore, "We'll have to find a new one."
The class monitor was still trying to lighten the mood, but Gu Cheng's expression grew even more sinister: "A kissing scene?"
Wen Ruan whispered, "That's fake."
Wen Han rolled her eyes. When the class monitor asked him where he was going, Wen Han shoved the script into his arms: "Back to the classroom. You can revise it. Do you want the audience to die laughing at this line?"
The homeroom teacher asked in surprise, "Wen Han, why are you back too?"
The students in the class all looked up, and Wen Han said impatiently, "That scoundrel Gu Cheng is causing trouble here again."
The homeroom teacher's expression changed, and she hurriedly went out to check the situation.
Zhang Huihui exclaimed excitedly, "Oh my god, Gu Cheng must have come to watch Wen Ruan rehearse, this is so sweet!"
Yang Lan remained silent.
After a while, everyone else went into the classroom. Wen Ruan felt a little embarrassed and went to apologize to Yang Lanjun, but Yang Lanjun ignored him completely.
After this was done, the other students in the class didn't dare to play the wicked stepmother anymore. What if Gu Cheng also held a grudge against them? Who would dare to offend the school bully for this?
After many twists and turns, the role eventually fell to Jing Yu.
After school, Yang Lanjun came over again, glanced at Jing Yu, and said, "It's quite a coincidence that you two are deskmates."
Wen Han comforted her, "Gu Cheng is a lunatic, it's not worth getting angry with him."
Yang Lanjun was clearly in a bad mood: "Don't leave after school, give me a few more questions."
"ah?"
Fang Songxia abandoned him and ran away, so Wen Han could only beg Jing Yu not to leave.
After dealing with Yang Lanjun, Wen Han earned another hundred yuan, but she only felt a headache coming on.
"So you need to be a part-time psychologist to calculate this stuff, no wonder it's so expensive." Wen Han accidentally got her backpack stuck in a bush when she came out from between the two teaching buildings.
He struggled for a moment, then realized he had no choice but to wait for Jingyu to come down.
There were voices coming from the grove. Wen Han said speechlessly, "It's another young couple. Why do they have to hide in the school? Once they're out of the school gates, they can talk however they want."
But this voice sounds kind of familiar.
"Little Cinderella." Gu Cheng stopped Wen Ruan, pinned him against a tree, and laughed, "Will you come home with me?"
God, please take me away.
Wen Han glanced behind her. Why hadn't Jing Yu arrived yet?
"It's so late, my dad will worry if I don't go home," Wenruan said softly. "You should go home too."
"Poor Cinderella, you'll still be bullied by your wicked stepsister when you get back."
Wen Han really wanted to rush out and punch him.
The sound of their kiss reached a crescendo, and Wen Han's despair reached its peak.
