Chapter 7
Xiaoshuang also joined the drama club, of course it was not organized by Kuang Yumin, but by someone else.
Several girls chatted together after rehearsal.
Xiao Shuang said, "That Lai Xiu Jin is so shameless. She likes Kuang Yu Min and thinks everyone else likes him. Wang Jia Zhi told me that she doesn't like Kuang Yu Min at all. Lai Xiu Jin is crazy to think that she is interested in Kuang Yu Min. She changed dormitories because she didn't want to get involved in this mess. Her father left her to go abroad and was already short of money, but for this matter, he even gave her a gift. He just wanted to get rid of her."
Another said, "Yes, Lai Xiujin is crazy and flamboyant. Wang Jiazhi is an honest person. She usually endures bullying when she can. I've never seen her quarrel with anyone. They are both girls, and it's really vicious to spread such obscene rumors."
Another said, "Wang Jiazhi is so pretty, why does she have to fall for Kuang Yumin? There are so many good guys out there."
Another said, "She must be jealous. Last time Wang Jiazhi was in a magazine, she even told people that Wang Jiazhi couldn't act and that the female lead was originally hers, but she gave it to Wang Jiazhi to cultivate her acting skills. If she hadn't refused to play the role, it wouldn't have been Wang Jiazhi's turn. Drink!"
Xiao Shuang said, "She doesn't even look in the mirror. Wang Jiazhi is prettier than her. If she wants to act, she has to be able to act." Then she chuckled softly, "Wang Jiazhi told me that she dislikes people like Kuang Yumin the most. They're like stupid pillars."
The other girls couldn't help laughing when they heard this.
Another said, "No wonder Wang Jiazhi avoided them so much after they performed in a play together, as if they had suddenly broken up."
Another said, "My analysis is that Lai Xiujin probably likes Kuang Yumin, Kuang Yumin likes Wang Jiazhi, and Wang Jiazhi doesn't like Kuang Yumin. Then... Wang Jiazhi couldn't stand it anymore and stayed away from the place of trouble."
When they got home that night, Xiao Shuang tentatively said, "Zhou Minlin from Class 2 asked me to ask you if you want to join. He wants to raise money to help with the war effort. You performed so well last time, and the classmates all loved it. He's afraid it would be too abrupt to tell you, so he asked me to ask you. But it's up to you. If you don't want to go, don't force yourself."
Wang Jiazhi said, "Okay, when is the rehearsal?"
"Um?"
Xiao Shuang was surprised that she agreed so readily, because she knew that she had rejected the invitation from Kuang Yumin's society and thought she didn't want to act anymore.
Wang Jiazhi said, "It's my duty to do something. I'll act."
On the day of the performance, Xiaoshuang was not very good at putting on makeup, and her lipstick looked like a red gourd. Wang Jiazhi helped her clean it up, and it really worked.
Xiao Shuang smiled and said, "You never wear makeup, how come you are so good at it?"
Wang Jiazhi laughed and said, "I saw others do it this way."
The fundraising was very successful that day, and everyone was very excited. Zhou Minlin wanted to treat them to a meal, but Wang Jiazhi smiled and said, "I'm not going. You guys have fun."
Zhou Minlin and the others said, "How can the leading actress not go?"
She smiled and said, "I really won't go."
Although they didn't know the reason, everyone around her could see that she was worried. She usually acted independently, so it was not easy to force her.
Xiaoshuang went out to play with them. She returned to the dormitory alone without turning on the lights because she was alone. She didn't change her clothes and just lay on the bed with her clothes on.
Moonlight streamed in through the window, casting mottled shadows of the trees in the room. Voices could be heard walking back and forth in the corridor, and lights shone through the crack in the door.
Only her place was deserted.
Many times she felt that the past was just a long dream that never existed. Now she was awake, but she was still stuck in the dream and hadn't come out.
What would her future hold? She had to finish her studies and be able to support herself. Then, perhaps, she would marry, find a suitable partner, have a few children, and live a simple life.
